Although there were many twists and turns in the trip of the Holy Sect Army, the results were unsatisfactory.

A preliminary intention of cooperation was reached, and a large amount of information about the deepest night and the demon groups that inhabit it were obtained.

As for paying-

Just a few verbal promises.

Of course, this does not mean that the Holy Cult Army has lost money or suffered losses in this cooperation.

This is an obvious win-win situation, and materials are naturally precious, but in the end, what the Holy Cult Army pays is just the transcription fee of some scribes.

For organizations, it's just a little bit of money.

As for the promise made by Ulysses, in fact, it is the same as the information given by the Holy Army, there is not much substance, but it is just an attitude, tendency, or bottom line that is faintly revealed by the two sides after the initial exchange is reached.

Although the initial exchange did not make the two sides intimate at once, at least the consensus was made clear and a simple or even rudimentary channel of contact was established.

That's actually enough.

Because...... It's too late.

On the night of their return from the Holy Army's garrison, Wyman, who had returned from the Council of Cardinals, informed them of the time of their expedition.

It's a little shorter than expected -

Just a week later.

This is not good news in any case, there is not much time left for the new sword bearers to prepare, and the shortcomings that need to be filled are like the old clothes that have been sewn and mended for another year at the bottom of Hemtika, and there are holes everywhere that need to be sewn and filled.

But there was no time.

The Glory One can't remember how many times he's had a headache over time—

A week.

It's an awkward time for the new sword wielders – with the big war looming, it's likely that training at all levels will backfire, and if you slack off because of this, it's not uncommon to die on the battlefield.

Moreover, there are so many things that need to be made up and learned, so much that even if you spend a week on cramming education, you will not be able to achieve the teaching goal at all.

So, Amy Ulysses retreated.

He chose to focus on the special weaknesses of the new sword wielder.

For example, actual combat, such as cooperation, and such as the understanding and understanding of demons and the deepest night.

These are all common topics, but it is precisely because of their importance that they are repeatedly talked about in the study and training of the training institute, in the crash course set up by the great sword bearer for the new sword bearers.

It's just that in the past, the curriculum was mostly based on high-level theoretical knowledge, and more based on laying a solid foundation for future development - but now it is very different.

The need to survive overpowered.

The actual combat course was taught by the Glory One himself, who taught hundreds of sword wielders his own combat skills, and on the other hand, sorted out his own combat system, and adhered to the first principle of actual combat with facts and physical feelings, so that hundreds of people experienced the fear of being dominated by forces far beyond their own class.

This objectively further enhanced his authoritative position as commander-in-chief, although he did not have the will and consciousness to do so at all.

The course on cooperation and cooperation was transferred to Webster by the Honorees, a former opposition opinion leader, who spent a lot of time and energy studying battle formation coordination in order to defeat Judas, and was indeed the best candidate to serve as a lecturer in terms of team organization, coordination and scheduling, division of labor and cooperation.

As for the final course on demonic habits and the deepest night, it hasn't been taught yet—because even Amy Ulysses, the most experienced of the freshman swordwielders, is unusually barren in this respect compared to the Holy Cult who have actually fought in the deepest night.

Fortunately, the most fatal shortcoming has been filled in by the information from within the Holy Cult Army.

Through this information, the young Glory Man finally had a relatively specific impression of the ecology of the deepest night. But to everyone's surprise, the first person to understand and absorb and fully grasp it was not Amy Ulysses, not Webster, not Kozmo and Regana, but Neil.

It only took the silver-haired girl three days to completely imprint the thick stack of materials into her mind and transform it into something of her own.

As a result, she became the last instructor of the course set by the Honorable One.

"We all know that the deepest night is dangerous, but few people know that the danger of the deepest night is graded. At this moment, Neil was lecturing, and Amy was listening below, and had to admit that the heroic girl did have an extraordinary appeal when she focused on one thing, "Through hundreds of years of exploration, the Order and the Deepest Night have shown certain characteristics that divide the Deepest Night into four different levels, which are approaching, infectious, crazy, and untouchable. ”

She paused, then gave detailed explanations one by one.

"Among them, the approach level refers to the suburbs that are close to the fire and have been mostly assimilated by the order, which is a dangerous area for a large number of demons to breed, and there are countless demon communities inhabited, but most of them are middle and lower-level demons, and the real superiors, the treacherous things that are difficult to restrain human common sense do not exist here. ”

"There's just one thing that needs to be pointed out in a special, special way—"

"In the suburbs of the city, the high demons are abnormally gathered, these monsters that have a certain level of knowledge, always out of some kind of instinct that is not yet understood, even if they know that it is a moth to fight the fire, they still have to approach the fire of order, which also leads to the suburbs of the city, the weak area of the fire power, very, very dangerous, its danger coefficient is even worse than the infection level, only slightly inferior to the madness level. ”

"As for the deeper level of infection of the Dark Chaos infection, there is no danger in comparison, so let's leave it aside for the time being. "This is not a theoretical lecture, but a special lecture specifically for this expedition, and some relatively less important knowledge points were simply passed by the silver-haired girl, "After the infection level, there is the madness level, which is the most dangerous area known to the deep night, and it is also very likely that we are the target of this trip." ”

"Black Goat—"

"The crazy creatures that inhabit it are called so, and although they are regarded as a special species of demons like demons, they are in fact the craziest manifestation of the essence of demons. ”

"Something outside of people...... Inhuman things...... Blasphemy ......"

Neil counted them one by one, and then went on to elaborate: "As to its nature, the various departments and organs within the Order have been divided and debated, some believe that they are the true demons of the ultimate body, some believe that they are the personality of the deepest night, or the embodiment of the wild will, and even believe that the deepest night is only the cradle that gave birth to them, and that the real enemy of humanity is this group of four-legged children of darkness. ”

In the end, the only name chosen was the black goat, which was drawn up by the god of the earth Augustus himself, and in order to distinguish ordinary individuals from the elites of the lord level, the suffix cub was often added. ”

"Black goat!"

Almost at the same time as the words fell, the makeshift lecture hall exploded, and the Glory One could clearly hear the series of exclamations coming from around him, as well as the sound of gasping for air.

The name...... Something familiar, seems to have been heard somewhere?

"That's right, Taboo Catalogue XIII, Wandering Mountain, Enemy of Civilization, Glutton, Black Goat, who destroyed Nathaniel, Wollaston, and Cecilia. ”

The silver-haired girl paused slightly: "It is the manifestation of the malice of the deepest night, and it is also the only black goat ultimate body we know so far, and it is the enemy we are very likely to encounter." ”

Truly.

It would not be a simple matter to be able to make the Order gather tens of thousands of Holy Cult troops, and even bet on the new sword wielders who had not yet completed their training.

The approaching and infectious-level night is destined to only be the starting point of the journey, and even if the crazy area inhabited by the black goat herd may not be the end of the expedition.

Untouchable –

Will the "black zone" mentioned by Ignati really be the place where all living beings are extinct?

Amy Ulysses was skeptical.

Since the Dark Traveler was able to get out of it, then there was naturally no reason why the Order, as one of the two poles of the Order World, could not do it, it was just a question of whether they were willing to pay this price.

And now, he has no doubt that for the sake of the "Tianmen Plan", or in order to cover up the real "Tianmen Plan", the Order will be desperate!

Whether it's the Great Wall of Eternal Night, the lost capital of Prometheus, or the dark zone of the deepest night, where everything is unknown, could be the target of the Order's expedition.

But in that case, he's in trouble......

Do you really have to die for the Order once—or many times?

Shaking his lips slightly, the young Gloryman fell into deep thought, but the passage of time did not stop because of this, and Neil's lecture continued.

"As for the untouchable level. The silver-haired girl raised her beautiful eyebrows, "There's no need to go into details, because ......"

"There is nothing to talk about at all, untouchable is untouchable, where the concepts of time, and even of life and death, are distorted, and human logic, common sense, thinking, and everything has no meaning, and it is absolutely untouchable. She spread her hands and walked through the deepest night of this level, and then moved on to another topic, the subject of demons, "The classification of the deepest night is largely based on the degree to which chaos erodes the order, but it is not only the power of darkness and chaos that threatens our safety in that long night, but also the demons who are dominated by the evil will of blind foolishness. ”

"I don't think I need to say much about the classification of demons," Neil skipped this part directly, "The ones who really threaten us, and are most likely to become our main enemies, are the 'lords' and the high demons under their command. ”

"Lords are special high-level demons, compared to those monsters that are still dominated by instinct, they have a certain amount of knowledge and wisdom for various reasons, coincidences and even miracles, and can form a strong domination over certain types of demons similar to the ant queen of the ant clan, thus creating an army that belongs to the dark chaos, and even an evil kingdom that belongs to the demons. ”

If the Order were to send troops into the middle of the night, they would almost certainly face them, and a fight would be inevitable.

It may be just a warm-up battle for those high and mighty sword-wielders, but for low-level sword-wielders like them, it's no less than a catastrophe.

And all they can do now is to prepare for a rainy day, and all they can do now is understand the enemies they may encounter.

-- and put forward a corresponding and enforceable operational strategy.

"It's almost certain that they're going to be the first wave of enemies we'll encounter, enemies in the truest sense of the word. The silver-haired girl said, word by word, "It would be great if the great sword-wielder could sweep them away, but after all, they are monsters with a certain amount of knowledge, and when they encounter a strong enemy that is countering and unpredictable, they are likely to hide their tracks, hide among ordinary demons, and wait for the opportunity to move - so at this time, you must not be negligent in the slightest, if you find something wrong, please give feedback in time, Judas will be responsible for sweeping them away." ”

"And if the lord is dead, the demons under the lord's control and domination will fall into chaos uncontrollably, and then the Holy Cult Army will be fully capable of controlling the situation, and we don't need to rush to the front-" Neil repeated the advice of the Glorious Ones to those close to them, "There is no need to become cheap cannon fodder driven by the Holy Cult Army for a small number of battles. ”

"After the approach, the infection level, there is the madness level. Neil said, "The Crazy Night is inhabited by countless black goats and their cubs, as well as an unknown number of black goat lords - if the expedition to the deep night does encounter a black goat colony, there is no doubt that it will be a real battle." ”

"We know too little about the black goats, about the children of darkness, and the little information that is certain now is that all of them have an intellect, a distorted, blasphemous intellect, and that they have extreme malice towards humanity, and for no reason they hate humanity and all that it has created. ”

"At the same time, as the most perfect demons, they are also extremely terrifying in terms of combat power - just cubs need the cooperation of multiple sword-wielders to be able to crusade, while mature black goats have the strength to rival ordinary large sword-wielders, as for lord-level black goats...... The exact combat power is unknown, but the only thing that can be determined is that the ultimate body codenamed 'Black Goat' that roams in the night of the approach level to the depths of the night has a terrifying combat power that surpasses the mortal world, and it is a 'natural disaster' that even multiple great sword wielders are unable to crusade against. ”

"So-"

"I must remind you again," the silver-haired girl stood on the podium and looked down condescendingly at the newborn sword-wielders, "this war is not child's play, every decision you make must be responsible for yourself, for others, and even for the whole team!"

As the words fell, applause rang out, and Neil's class officially came to an end.

Amy Ulysses, who had broken free from her thoughts, gave the girl on the podium an approving smile, then turned and left the humble classroom.

Watching the class is just part of today's plan, and he has more important things to do.

He's looking for someone, looking for someone.
