Hao Ren now really regrets why he didn't insist on naming the mercenary group in the first place, and now he thinks that even if he names his team Pink Hairy Rabbit, it is better than the current name, and when Gerton said the words "A good name makes the dog called" seriously, everyone at the scene was gray, but Lily could still be elated, and she also took the initiative to jump out and introduce herself: "Yes, yes, yes, I am the deputy head of the mercenary group......"

Hao Ren decided to really let her be the deputy head of the regiment in the future, although he really didn't have such a position in his team......

Gerton mainly inquired in detail about the origin of the mercenary team in front of him and the process of rescuing the four dervishes in the first place, firstly, to understand the information, and secondly, to check whether the whole thing was true. He did not hide anything about this investigation, and as the rector of the place, it was normal for him to be cautious in this matter. However, Hao Ren had already arranged the whole thing back and forth with the bearded man several times, of course, it was exactly what he said.

"Then I don't have any doubts, a few of you have a lot of credit for this trip," Gerton exhaled after a detailed inquiry, the wrinkles on his face relaxed, and he finally glanced at Hao Ren curiously, "But I wonder why you didn't come directly to Layton Town, but ran to the edge of the holy lake, so that it would be more troublesome to escort the orb back to town?" I heard that you were teleported from space, and there was a problem with the landing point? ”

Hao Ren's face was stern: "Without him, only his hands are slippery." ”

Vivien tapped him next to her and helped explain, "We're not very familiar with the terrain around the Blood Lake, and Leighton has a lot of magic here. So in the end, I chose an open space to teleport. However, we didn't expect that Golem had infiltrated the area around the Blood Lake, and we thought that we would only need to deal with the monsters in the twisted woodland. ”

Gerton nodded solemnly: "That's it...... That makes sense. Thankfully, nothing happened to you. ”

The bearded man asked at this time: "I know that the defense line here has been broken through once." But why haven't you purified all the monsters that broke in? ”

Gerton glanced at Hao Ren and the others, but considering that these things were no longer confidential. And the person in front of him was also a witness and participant in the whole thing, so he didn't hide it: "Now it's only a gap here in Leighton Town, and the monsters have other ways to bypass our defenses......"

Then the old rectory explained the situation in general, and he said it more accurately and concretely than the previous knight captain: "...... There has been nothing wrong with each other before, although there are monsters splitting from the mountains from time to time, but there are not many of them, and the route of progress is very simple, so it is not troublesome to solve, and we set up fortifications on the main official road. Once you've mastered the weaknesses of those monsters, you'll be able to block them with ease. Then I began to study ancient books about ancient magical civilizations, trying to find out why the Dragonspine Mountains split into these giants, and I was ready to continue to stalemate with the monsters until the research progressed, but the research did not progress...... More than half a month ago, there was a major collapse on the main peak of the Dragonspine Mountain Range, and soon after that, the news of a strong attack came from the northern defense line, and the main force here went to support as usual, but soon after, the front of the defense line was attacked by a large group of monsters...... It was the first time that those stone monsters had made a planned move, and there were many times as many as before......"

Gerton paused. "After the defense line here was breached, the southern part of the mountain also collapsed, and this time the collapse was even more bizarre: the whole mountain changed form in the collapse like a living thing, twisting and extending a path. This new mountain crosses the ridge of the defensive line and peeks into the twisted woodland, and most of the monsters that infest the area around the sacred lake have invaded through that sinful mountain pass. If you go south, you can easily see it: a new mountain stretching out of the Dragon's Back Mountains, right over our defensive line. ”

Gerton told them these things in a simple and detailed way. It seemed that there was no rectory at all, because he knew that the four ascetics in front of him would sooner or later return to the royal capital to report the situation to the pope. Let's just take advantage of the situation to explain a little bit now.

"Mountains change shape on their own?" The bearded man looked stern, "This is not a good sign...... Can't you stop it? ”

Gerton closed his eyes slightly: "Manpower is limited. It's hard to shake nature - I don't want to admit it, but the power left behind by the evil magic emperors of antiquity is beyond our comprehension, the mountain path is impregnable, full of miasma, and even suddenly collapses to prevent outsiders from approaching, the knights have already suffered heavy losses there, and the Magister reinforcements sent by the kingdom have nothing to do with it. Now we can only keep the situation afloat by constantly clearing out monsters in the Twisted Woodlands, the former by the Knights of the Church, and the latter by Marshal Oprah's Knights of the Kingdom, or by blocking the Dragon's Back Mountains. ”

Hao Ren listened silently on the surface, but in his heart he began to think about how to explore the secrets of the Dragon's Back Mountains, which were becoming more and more strange, and he believed that the mountains must be hiding the secrets of the Magic Empire more than 10,000 years ago - and this secret might help him decipher the aliens on Earth, and even the ultimate answer to the Dream Plane itself. His first priority now is to prevent the Dream Plane from continuing to merge with the Surface World, so all the slightest clues related to it cannot be missed. And when he was discussing with the number of terminals whether it was time to apply for a miniature observation satellite, the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful woman with a heroic posture broke in: "Your Excellency, I heard that the Templar Orb ...... Well? ”

Hao Ren looked back and found that the person who came was a female soldier in women's intimate armor and long curly maroon hair, heroic and majestic, it was Marshal Ofrah who had only met once, the legendary heroine of the Kingdom of Holletta, a magical figure who had guarded this country for hundreds of years. As soon as the female marshal entered the room, the first one to jump up was Becky, and the mercenary girl's eyes were stunned, and her jaw trembled when she spoke: "Ao...... Lady Oprah is here!! Yuan...... Hello Marshal, Marshal, you have a long life, Your Excellency Marshal, you are auspicious...... I...... I'm Becky, do you remember me? I...... I'll look for the Templar Orb......"

Hao Ren was really tired of this girl, and reached out to press Betsy down: "Your Excellency Marshal, I am ...... Captain of the Mercenary Regiment, we have returned the orb safely. ”

Aufra looked at the group of people in front of her with some surprise, because there was a jumping Betsy Cunzài, she was deeply impressed by these people, and at this time she already remembered the previous fate: "It turned out to be you...... I heard the news outside the town, and I didn't expect the treasure hero to be your newly created mercenary squad. Very well done. ”

Betsy immediately tugged at Hao Ren's arm with a dizzy look: "Hehe...... Hey, hey, did Marshal Obra praise me just now......"

Vivien pressed her hand against her head, remembering something she couldn't bear to recall: "God, it's really hard to communicate with brainless fans......"

Obhra quickly stopped paying attention to these strange and unreliable mercenaries, and she greeted the four ascetics one by one: "Four masters, long time no see, I'm glad to see that you are still healthy." Is the orb on you? ”

Ophora looked like a resolute person, and when she opened her mouth, she asked directly about the orb, and the bearded man nodded: "Here I am." However, we have not yet decided what to do next. According to the rules, the orb should be stored in the Holy Lake Church after its return, but it seems that it is not safe there now. ”

"It can be stored here," Gerton said beside him, "This is the closest sanctuary to the Holy Land, the current situation is special, and it is also in line with the doctrine to store the orb here, we can ...... after dealing with the monsters"

"Let me say a few words," Opra found a random place to sit down, and looked at Gerton majestically, "Your Excellency, I don't distrust your knowledge, but you should still not be able to find the reason for the division of the mountains in the short term, in this case it is really inappropriate for the orb to be placed in the Beinz area, I propose that the elite of the Kingdom Knights and the Church Knights escort the orb to the royal capital church, so that it can also stabilize the hearts of the people-the recent war situation in the Beinz region has been frequently reported to the royal capital, The pampered ones are already panicking. ”

Gerton didn't say anything, and Ophra waited for a while with an impatient expression: "Also, Your Excellency the Rectend, I once again propose to ask my Kingdom Knights to 'help you' clean up the area around the Holy Lake?" Half a month has passed, and those stone monsters are still wandering in the Holy Land, and I can tell that the warriors of the Church Knights are quite tired and need to rest, while I am only circling the mountains with several reinforcements from the interior of the kingdom - my side is already overarmed. This is not the time to save face, and the warriors of the Knights of the Kingdom are also devotees of the goddess, and although they do not have a seal, they can also fight in the Holy Land, which is in line with the teachings. ”

Gerton stood up tremblingly: "It's not a matter of face, Your Excellency Marshal. But I really should seriously consider your suggestion. Before that...... Let's let these guests come from afar to take a break. Masters, please wait a moment, Lord Aufra and I have some things to ask. ”

Hao Ren knew in his heart: it seemed that the next thing to be discussed was not something that "outsiders" like himself could listen to. (To be continued......)
