In the face of the very typical rogue logic of the envoys, the sacrifice has nothing to say, but as the religious leader of the Seal Clan, he also wants to fight to the death for his position:

"The system and language can be changed according to your requirements, but religion and belief cannot be changed, this is our bottom line! The belief of the Sealing Clan in the Demon God Pillar has been integrated into the depths of the blood and bones, and it has become a part of life, and betraying it will definitely be spurned and cursed by the Seventy-two Pillar Gods. ”

"Demon God Pillar?"

The envoy looked at him with a sneer, his gaze as if the scarlet tongue of a hungry wolf licked his face:

"What do you believe in a useless god like the Demon God Pillar? Did it help you when the catastrophe of the Sealing Clan came!? If the prayers are not answered, the faith is not profitable, and there is a curse for turning away from them, then such a god is too unreasonable!"

"You are talking nonsense, all this is a test of the gods for us!"

The priest's face was red with rage, red to the roots of his hair, and his eyes were fixed on the insulter, and he let out a roar like that of a wounded lion: "As long as we remain faithful and pious, miracles will surely happen!"

"What a cheap miracle. ”

The envoy sighed and shook his head, ignoring the crazy religious leader, and turned his gaze to the nobles in the hall: "What is your opinion? Are you willing to accept the indoctrination of the Empire, or are you going to be martyred?"

The viewing hall suddenly fell silent, and the nobles fell into an eerie silence, exchanging glances with each other, but no one was willing to speak. For the Sealing Clan, the belief of the Demon God Pillar is indeed integrated into life, almost equivalent to the inheritance of the bloodline, and it is not easy to give up even if a catastrophe comes.

"Ignorance!"

Seeing their stubborn appearance, the envoy felt a little weak in his heart, but he showed an expression of anger and unquenchable:

"I heard that among the seventy-two pillar demon gods you believe in, the thunder god Baal is the supreme god, because he has the strongest divine power among the many demon gods. Then you should also understand that the gods are also strong and weak, and the weak gods can only choose to obey or destroy in the face of the strong gods.

The facts are in front of you, you have lost, you are vulnerable, the seventy-two pillar demon gods have not blessed the sealing clan! If it is a test and trial, it can only be explained that the demon god pillar does not care about you at all, because we are destroying the faith of the demon god pillar, and they are indifferent to it!"

"The gods won't turn their backs on the Seals, they must still be watching us!"

The priest was furious, his eyes fist-wide, like a beast forced to embarrass. At this moment, in the face of this kind of bottom-copying comprehensive criticism, he couldn't care about maintaining his demeanor, and scolded with a hideous expression:

"The gods you believe in are just a bunch of greedy demons, no matter how powerful they are, they can't hide their evil nature! They make you victorious, they make you arrogant. It instigates you to destroy your faith in order to destroy the morality and justice of the world!

Our faith will not disappear, our God will not be destroyed, and even if we are at a disadvantage, there will come a day when we will return triumphantly, and then all blasphemers will be reckoned. ”

Bang - Bang Bang Bang——!

As soon as his scolding ended, the hall burst into crisp applause. The person who applauded was none other than the Menes envoys, who were alone in front of the high-ranking officials of the entire Chaldean kingdom.

"Well said. ”

In the process of clapping vigorously, the envoy's expression became calmer and calmer, and with the sudden pause in applause, his voice became without a trace of emotion:

"It's a pity, even if the Demon God Pillar does return one day, you won't be able to see it. If you reject me now, the army of the empire will bloody the Chaldean kingdom, and then the faith of the Demon God Pillar will also be broken. I gave you a chance, but the Seals gave up on their own, so don't blame me. ”

After saying this, he didn't look at the expressions of the nobles, clenched his palms soaked in cold sweat, turned around and left. As he left with his back to them, the envoy silently counted in his heart, forcibly controlled his pace, and left Shi Shiran in a rhythm that was neither fast nor slow.

At this moment, the nobles of the Seal Clan had very different expressions, some had grim faces, some tried to keep them, and some hesitated. Because these people had their own plans, and because they had lost the backbone of King Belshazzar, they could not reach a consensus.

However, the lack of consensus does not mean that action cannot be taken against him, and looking at the Menes envoy who is slowly departing with his back to him, the sacrifice can no longer contain his hatred of him. Grabbed a knife from the plate, then held his breath and silently chased after him.

The scene is somewhat ridiculous from the perspective of an onlooker: a four-meter-tall giant, on his own turf, preparing to attack a human being less than half his height. actually didn't have the confidence to attack head-on, so he only dared to tiptoe closer, which showed that the morale of the Seal Clan had completely collapsed.

"It's over this time...... It doesn't matter if I die, I messed up the mission assigned by His Majesty, and I am really ashamed of my trust in the commander. ”

The envoy sensed that someone was approaching behind him, but he sighed silently, and then waited for death with a calm expression. He didn't resist not because of cowardice, but because he knew that there was no point in doing so—people were on the territory of the Seal Clan, and there was no advantage in force, and if the other party really wanted to kill him, there was no room for resistance.

Instead of resisting in embarrassment, it is better to die calmly, so that at least the death is more dignified.

Just as the envoy was considering which posture to fall to the ground, suddenly two nobles of the Seal Clan drew their swords, and then rushed forward one left and one right. When the sacrifice was about to succeed, he swung his sword and stabbed him in the back, penetrating deep into his body.

Sneer——!

Two swords of cold light pierced from the back of the sacrifice, and then burst out of his chest, stirring violently before pulling away from his body.

“......”

The priest's eyes widened, and his gaze shifted downwards to see two sharp swords piercing his chest. He didn't even have time to turn his head to see who had attacked him, so he lost his breath and fell limply to the ground.

Qiang ——!

Hearing the crisp sound of the knife falling to the ground, the envoy turned his head in surprise, not seeing the person who attacked him, but seeing the corpse of the sacrificial death.

Just when he was stunned, the two blood-stained swordsmen continued to take a step forward, put their swords on the ground, and knelt on one knee before saying, "We are willing to accept your surrender conditions, sacrifice the Divine Gate Hanging Garden, fully accept the religious and cultural system of Menes, and launch a westward expedition in the name of the imperial courtiers. ”

"Hahahaha!

Seeing this scene, the envoy suddenly turned his worries into joy, and quickly stepped forward to support them: "Since you are willing to submit, you will be your own people in the future, and you don't need to be so polite to me." ”

One-one-one-one-one-one

When the Chaldean kingdom declared its unconditional surrender, Oz and one of his men quietly left the camp under the cover of night. Not to mention the people of the Chaldean Kingdom, even most of his colleagues did not know the actions of the Holy Army. They did not hesitate to expend the light energy they had stored in their bodies, and at a speed of chasing the wind, they crossed the mountains and rivers, crossed the range of the Eastern Fort, and galloped towards the northern highlands occupied by the white lizards.

......

The Northern Highlands are the border between two continents, between three inland seas, bordered by the Endless Fields to the north and the Crescent Plateau to the south. It is a large mountain system composed of large and small mountain ranges and lowlands. The terrain is dominated by high mountains and plateaus, covering an area of about 400,000 square kilometers including the foothills, and it is an area with many changes in natural ecology.

It is home to a large number of lizardfolk with white scales, known as white lizards and highland lizards by the Menes. They are both enemies and friends with the Seal Clan, sometimes they are vassals of the Seal Clan, sometimes they are vassals of the Wolf Clan. Due to their close association with the Seals, the Highland Lizardfolk accepted the belief in the Demon God Pillar, but localized it to a certain extent, turning the Thor God Baal into the image of the Lizardmen.

The purpose of Oz's trip is to try to get close to the lizardmen, and if they are as obedient as the wolf people, they will be left alive. If you are not honest and do not obey the arrangements of the Empire, prepare a cemetery and wait for death.

......

The dew gathers on the tips of the dark green needles, giving them a crystal clear sheen. The dazzling sunlight shines through the mist of the mountains and forests, refracting thousands of golden pillars of light, drawing a charming outline of the vast forest.

The terrain of the northern highlands is complex, and several very different climates can occur in hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land. Oz had just crossed the cold mountain and galloped down the slope for dozens of kilometers, and the climate suddenly became warm and pleasant.

"Captain, this is the Misty Forest, and according to satellite imagery, there is a colony of cyclops nearby!" a knight of the Holy Armor reminded loudly as he galloped forward, comparing the satellite image on his watch.

"I see. ”

Hearing this, Oz immediately retracted his breath, slowed down, and commanded everyone:

"The cyclops have a gift of mental power, and their eyes have a special eye structure that functions like a thermal imager. This group of barbarians is extremely unfriendly to humans, and they have a habit of eating human flesh, and once we find out, we will definitely take the initiative to attack. We rein in our breath and move on so as not to create unnecessary conflicts. ”

"Understood. ”

"Understood. ”

"Yes. ”

The Knights of the Holy Armor tried to restrain the light energy that was out of step with the environment, and carefully walked through the woods. Relying on the strong physique forged by studying the Golden Sutra of the Sun, they can outspeed any land animal, even if they don't consume light energy. The fast pace seems to be able to escape gravity, and there is not even a single fallen leaf with it wherever it passes, as if it is a group of ghosts walking through dense foliage.

In the silent sneaking, the scenery on both sides of the scene quickly retreated with vague afterimages, and the murmuring sound of flowing water, which was originally absent in the depths of the forest, was rapidly becoming louder at the moment, and finally became a roar.

"Captain!"

"I know!"

Oz stopped galloping in an instant, whispering as he gazed at the magnificent nature in front of him.

The dense forest came to an abrupt end in front of them, and in front of them was a long stretch of white mountains, and the huge ice towered over the mountainside, forming a ridge as thin as a blade, like a sharpened sword. At the top of the mountains, the snow piles press down on the mountains, forming a continuous streamer that undulates for several kilometers along the ridge, and looks extremely spectacular in the sun. At the base of the ancient glacier, the snow water forms waterfalls that rumble down to the bottom basin. It is a round lake with rippling blue waters, and the scenery is beautiful and charming.

"There's no mistake, this is the territory of the Highland Lizards!" said the Saint Army, who was in charge of observing the terrain, as he glanced at the satellite images again.

"After such a long journey, it has finally arrived. ”

"If you look closely, this place is really good, with mountains, water and forests. ”

"yes, it's a shame that such a good land is left for a bunch of lizards. ”

After the holy knights were relieved, they watched the magnificent gold of the majestic peaks rise and fall, and discussed in twos and threes.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Highland lizards are a hunter-fisherman and have a knack for making wooden boats. The great lake in front of us was turned into a silver scale lake by the lizardmen. The reason why it is so called is to describe the reflection of the lake on the one hand, and on the other hand, it symbolizes the abundance of fishery resources in this lake. ”

Oz's expression gradually became solemn, and then he took off the binoculars on his waist and held them up in front of his eyes to look down: "But I don't see a single raft now, which is not logical. ”

"Who knows, maybe they're having a holiday. A knight of the Holy Crown folded his shoulders.

"Holidays?"

Oz held up the binoculars, his gaze quickly swept the entire surface of the lake, and at the northwest angle of the lake, he saw a demolished pier:

"Will you tear down your own dock during the holidays!?"

"There's definitely something going on here with that Highland lizard! ”

When the Holy Knight who was in charge of observing the terrain heard this, he immediately clicked on the watch screen, and while using the satellite map to scan the terrain of the scenery, he said with a stern expression:

"According to common sense, fishermen and hunters should live next to lakes with rich fishery resources, and there should be a relatively large tribe near the shore of Yinlu Lake. But now there is nothing here, which is very unreasonable...... Wait!"

When the satellite swept a hundred kilometers north of the lake, they found a lizardfolk settlement, but the entire village was covered in weeds and looked abandoned for a long time.

"The nearest village for the Highland Lizard is a hundred kilometers away, and it looks like it's long since uninhabited. The Holy Soldier raised his head and looked at Oz with a solemn expression: "Don't let go of the silver-scaled lake with rich aquatic products, you have to migrate to a place hundreds of kilometers away, if you are not sick in the brain, you will be forcibly driven away by something!"
