Chapter 180: The Free-Spirited God
Wu Xin and Kessler walked together in the Xingyue Temple, arguing over something.
"Why can't you kill? Didn't I kill him openly, fight for so long, and then go through the conversion ceremony, and run out of oil! "Wu Xin saw that the warrior of Bann in Stegrenburg was still in charge of collecting supplies outside, so he had no scruples." Kessler is the first seat, you will have a lot of subordinates in the future, forget this guy, he is entrenched here, he is an unstable factor. ”
Wu Xin and Sazastan each possess a portion of their divine powers, so progress on how to promote the priest is slow, and they have just reached an agreement on the issue of Kessler's first seat to equally share the loss of unleashing divine magic.
Sazastan demanded that the promoted priests be given priority to the port of Tripoli, where fishermen and traders were the main source of faith.
Wu Xin, on the other hand, hopes that more priests can be assigned to the army's missions, and he wants to expand his territory first and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
Both sides have selfish motives, and while their arguments are not heated, they inevitably lead to inefficiencies.
In addition to Kessler's first seat, there was only one old priest left behind in the port of Tripoli, the priest of the two Flame Lords.
This conversion ritual for captives requires very little faith, so the priest has to take great risks, so Wu Xin has no choice but to agree.
But seeing the way the residents prayed for this Manla, he still felt that more was better than less, and it would be better to let his obsidian viper solve the problem.
Kessler was thrilled to receive a new conversion priest, and it was only natural that Kessler was excited.
But it wasn't this, at least not just that, he wanted to protect the priest: "It's her, not him, Sibault." The pastor who just joined our side was a woman. ”
"Women, men, human orcs, what does it matter?" It was another fire, another cry, and a possible counterattack by the remnants of the enemy, but Wu Xin didn't notice this. But the reason why he wanted to kill this priest had nothing to do with it. "He, oh, she's too prestigious among these inhabitants, and it's a woe to keep him."
"Any priest will have great prestige among the residents, should we all root out the priests who have taken refuge in us?" Kessler's first seat was not right, not every pastor can shelter one side, but he immediately gave a reason why Wu Xin did not continue to refute. "And she's not Priest Xingyue, she's the priest of Her Majesty the Dark Maiden."
"Dark Girl?" Wu Xin repeated the name. Then he looked at the female knight of Deverich and the knight of Cassano beside him, and both of them were also at a loss, so they had to ask Kessler the first seat again. "Which true god is this?"
"The Dark Maiden is the daughter of the Goddess Ross, the Queen of the Spider God, who advocates a free-spirited life and opposes the teachings of the Goddess Rose................... "Kessler said the origin of Elisetsu as he led Wu Xin and them towards the depths of the Star and Moon Temple. His followers are not many, but in the process of the Star Moon Cult's conquest of the Black Continent. It was successfully united by the Xingyue Sect and played a great role. Many of the fortified fortresses were conquered under the guidance of these drows. ”
"Traitor priest of a traitor God." The female knight Deverrich coldly summed up.
Kessler wanted to shake his head, and then wanted to nod his head: "Although hateful, there is also pity, this god's priest is very rare, but it is true that some Star and Moon Temples will actually praise the Lord of Star and Moon." Praise this dark girl again, this Xingyue Temple should be like this. ”
"So he also has some pastors." Cassano remembered that he had noticed the difference in the priest a long time ago. "That Manla, the priest who surrendered to us now, she's actually half-drow, right?"
"Hmm. There is about one-sixteenth or one-eighth of the Drow bloodline, which is already a very high level of semi-Drow. In short, she is not a Star Moon Priest, so she can survive the transformation ceremony completely on her own. "Kessler's first seat has brought Wu Xin and them to the depths of the Xingyue Temple, he pointed to the altar and said to Wu Xin." You see, she didn't lie. ”
The Xingyue Temple is very tall on the ground, but the altar is always arranged underground, although it is daytime outside, but there is no lighting channel, and the entire altar is completely dark.
With the help of the torches in the hands of the soldiers, Wu Xin's dim vision was able to roughly see the arrangement of the altar, which itself was a featureless ordinary style.
Sacrifice is indeed the subject of it, but unlike most of the descriptions made by Pastor Shirek, Wu Xin can also read in it the meaning of thought and profundity.
This is indeed the first time that Ladislaus's son has entered a real Xingyue Temple, but it is not the first time Wu Xin has seen this kind of arrangement, he has been a seafarer for many years, and he has seen a Xingyue Temple that is far grander than here.
Although in Wu Xin's time, this religion was much more unbearable than the great Ottoman Empire, Wu Xin did not approve of the White Lotus who advocated the protection of all so-called "pluralism", nor did he agree with the idea that these enemies were simply barbarians.
This is an opponent to take seriously.
He observed for a moment that there was indeed something rare on the side of the altar, a statue of a dancing young woman Drow.
She is undressed, and her posture shows the pursuit of freedom.
This is rare at the altar of the Star and Moon Cult, and the Lord of the Star and Moon believes that his greatness is beyond the reach of human craftsmen, so he does not allow believers to make statues of themselves.
It doesn't matter if he's a slave.
"It's ironic, isn't it? The pursuit of freedom eventually destroyed the entire nation, and the remnants became slaves of the enemy. "The Lady Knight Dverrich has no affection for the lackeys of the Lord of the Stars and Moon." ......... in the name of freedom"
"Anyway, it's the god of Drow." Wu Xin nodded, and then he was about to destroy this altar, and he gave an order to the dozen or so soldiers who came down. "Try not to use a hammer, use fire entirely."
Destroying hostile altars is an important way to collect Faith Power, and Elemental Faith can absorb almost all types of Faith Power, but the proportion is not high.
About one-tenth of the faith in this altar will be pocketed by Wu Xin.
There were many combustibles around the altar, and each soldier carried fuel on his back.
"Be careful, only burn the altar, gather all the combustibles, and don't burn the house." Although the whole building is less, you can get a little more power. But just now, Wu Xin still needs the best building in the city.
The newly converted priest hadn't woken up yet, so Kessler's first man was busy there and began to set up the circle.
For leaders, "absorbing the power of faith" is a result. And for subordinates, especially those who are understaffed, it is a series of various jobs.
Wu Xin is not bad as a leader, he doesn't put on a show too much, just like he helps Sazastan work, he is also the first in Kessler
As a warlock, he has a very rudimentary understanding of how to deal with magic circles.
So Wu Xin actually couldn't help much, a little better than other soldiers.
But for Kessler's first seat. That's a powerful encouragement.
"You come with me." Cassano led the soldiers and began to arrange the incendiary.
The female knights of Devreich did not need to participate in this kind of work, and they followed Wu Xin to protect him.
"Wait, don't spread out." At that moment, she shouted. "Don't spread out just yet."
She felt uncomfortable from the moment she entered this Xingyue Temple, but this kind of thing seemed to be normal, and it wasn't until the moment Wu Xin gave the order that she really noticed that something was wrong.
Her eyes were like no other. There is always the effect of "next sharp eyes", and the enemy is slightly excited because of Wu Xin's dispersion order. Finally she saw the flaw.
But that's all there is to it, her words have caused the enemy to disappear again.
Kessler's first seat also sensed the danger, but he was still a little hesitant, whether to add a "Owl Insight" to himself and a "Eagle Majesty" to Wu Xin, after all, the two spells add up to dozens of thalers.
But for Wu Xin. At this time, of course, Cassano and Deverich's female knights were added with the "secondary flame blade".
Then he threw a "Fireball Technique" towards the center of the altar.
Of course, this local tyrant method of warfare received excellent results, and the enemy was protected by the divine power of the altar and was blown out.
"Starry Moon Big!"
"Hulapala Charal!"
More than a dozen enemies gathered on the altar in the middle of the Xingyue Temple. They shouted slogans.
There were also more than a dozen skeletons crawling out of the ground, all of them were devout Star and Moon believers buried here.
Seeing tongues of fire on Cassano's weapon, they dispersed the formation, so that only two people were blown up.
"These are Janisseri." Kessler's first seat shows their origin from the enemy's equipment, all of them are heavily armoured, fierce, and disciplined, which can only be the strongest soldiers of the time, the Yenisseri. "The Evil Can't spontaneously provide invisibility, and some of them have priests, at least the mid-level ones can get this effect."
Hayreddin sent only one captain with a limited will to fight, but Commander Sokuru secretly sent a real elite detachment.
If Wu Xin didn't have the female knight of Deverrich who could ignore the city walls, then it was entirely possible for this detachment to play a mainstay role in the defense of the city.
However, if he can't defend the city, Commander Sokuru also has a backup plan, he knows that Wu Xin will definitely come to destroy this altar in person, this is the opportunity.
Just as the Yanhuang Dragon can provide divine protection to its followers, the Lord of the Star and Moon can naturally do it too, spontaneously.
But to provide the "invisible" effect to so many people and awaken the skeletons buried here, a priest is needed.
Kessler's first guess was close, but not quite right, there was indeed a "stalw" priest guarded here, but there was also an "elite" enemy.
This enemy rushed past several soldiers.
Cassano immediately turned sideways and defended the attack, completely locking his assault route.
However, this enemy was in front of Cassano, rolled in the air and dodged Cassano's sword, and threw two weapons at Wu Xin at the same time.
His speed was extremely fast, and the roll was performed right in front of Cassano, but the powerful Cassano was also a beat slower and couldn't take the opportunity to cut him.
The two hand axes with the effect of the surprise attack hit Wu Xin before everyone could react.
"Tumbling and throwing, is it a master of hidden weapons?"
From the explosiveness of the opponent and that tumbling move, Cassano could see the type of enemy, which was one of the most aggressive advancements of the wanderer, so to speak, the mage killer.
But Wu Xin didn't die, he wasn't even injured.
Before the "Secondary Flame Blade", he first performed a "Ghost Face Technique" on himself.
Although this hidden weapon master is powerful and has elite-level equipment that matches his strength, it is a pair of boots that can increase dodge.
Who would choose to concentrate their net worth on a weapon that is ready to be thrown at any moment?
Those two hand axes, although they were fast, were only ordinary weapons of good quality after all, and they could not break through the defense of the "Ghost Face Technique", and Wu Xin was unscathed.
The raider immediately fell into a siege, and Cassano, the female knight de Vrerich, and Wu Xin besieged together, to prioritize the removal of the enemy who had broken into the rear row.
Kessler's first seat of course let out a loud shout, and first dispersed the undead, after all, these creatures were weak, but if they were kept, they would make the dozen or so soldiers around them suffer from flanking attacks.
All skeletons were dispelled by Kessler's first seat in a matter of seconds.
Wu Xin's side also had to bear the adverse effects of the "evil dwelling", so Kessler first performed another "group assistance technique", and then besieged the secret weapon master.
This secret weapon master is now fighting with two short swords, and Wu Xin did not die under the first round of raids, this result is completely unexpected by him.
Coupled with the fact that he couldn't go head-to-head with either Cassano or Deverlich Knights, he was quickly in danger.
Even though the priest had already given him "Cat Grace" and "Demonic Armor", and his pace and dodge made it impossible for Wu Xin's tongue of fire to pull him out, Cassano quickly found an opportunity to slash him in the chest.
Cassano's sword is not something that can be resisted by "demonized armor".
Seeing that the wanderer was no longer good, the knight de Vrerich no longer besieged him, but jumped into it.
Then he directly crossed the dozens of soldiers from both sides who were fighting, and directly crossed a distance of dozens of feet, and flashed in the center of the altar, beside the priest.
Wu Xin invested so much money and killed so many demons, and finally unleashed the strength to get more than just the eyes of demons.
There is also the stronger power of the demon, the nemesis of the true caster.
The priest had no idea of this situation at all, he was summoning the skeleton soldier again, and in this place, he could cast this ability many times, and he could slowly exhaust the power of the opponent's magic caster.
But the sudden appearance of the female knight of Deverrich immediately confronts him with a life-and-death crisis.
But the priest chose to complete the magic in the face of the attack of the female knight of Deverich.
Again, a dozen skeleton soldiers stood up.
The female knight of Deverrich was surprised that these skeletons were not enough to decide the victory, but it was the best for her.
She plunged her sword into the gap between the priest's breastplate and helmet, breaking open his heart.
"You'll be with me soon!" The priest cursed his enemies in a death-defying tone.
In this world, a curse doesn't have to be the roar of a weak chicken. (To be continued......)
