Chapter 210: The Martyrs
After several days of flying at high altitudes, it did not attract the attention of the enemy on the ground, and Richard was greeted by an endless golden landscape. The golden sea of crops and plants on the ground swayed gently in the wind.
Richard and the others came to the ground, and the cool wind made the tiredness and tension of several people less a lot. The rearmament of the army was nearing its end, and during this time, Fluke of the Autumn Country had not made any moves. So on the eve of the attack, Richard took Primatisfina and rode Onexia to join Diluka, who had arrived from Toldheim, to Fruk for preliminary reconnaissance.
"It's so beautiful, it's like a picture scroll. The wind is also very comfortable, and the refreshing feeling is like a natural opening of arms to welcome us. ”
Primatis reveled in the view, and Richard laughed, "The goddess and the people here don't welcome us uninvited guests. ”
The crowd changed into the service of the local people, and walked around and watched. Fluk is located in the northwestern part of the continent, bordered by Grez to the east and Toddheim to the south. This is the richest place in the continent, where there are fertile fields, crops that crop three times a year, and the climate of the plains is stable, so there are almost no disasters. Windmills are built everywhere here, and windmills provide labor for the local people, and various crops can be processed into a variety of products. Through the trade routes, the people gradually became the richest of the Yugdelsiru.
Previously, it was Ymir who attacked again, and initially Ymir captured several cities, and the team used Huairou means to intervene in the local economy, and used force to fight against the outside world. Valera's intelligence shows that Ymir has established many local merchants who are inclined to demons, and these merchants are engaged in overt and covert offensive and defensive battles with the local forces led by Freya, both sides have spies inside, Ymir's supplies are intercepted somewhere, and the goddess's stronghold is attacked when she goes out secretly, and this kind of thing happens from time to time. Valilla's constant intelligence gathering suggests that Ymir may have amassed two or three cities, and if all of them were used in the army, it would raise up an extremely powerful force.
By the time Richard and his party arrived, Ymir's presence in Fluk had been cleared. But Richard had a vague feeling that Ymir should be in some shadow by now. After all, it is a bit surprising and puzzling that a very powerful candidate disappeared without making any waves.
"What a quiet and peaceful country. ”
Onexia nodded and said a rare word: "I heard that the wine of this country is very good, and I want to taste it." ”
Richard looked around and said, "It's also a pleasure to pair wine with beautiful people." Fina, get a good table. ”
"Yes, Lord Richard. ”
Diluka did not participate in their chat, and remained vigilant, and when he saw Richard approaching, Diluka said, "Our invasion has gone so smoothly that we have not received any resistance at all." Even if Fluck's territory is vast and the transmission of information is inconvenient, Sister Freya should have a move......"
Richard nodded in agreement: "You're right, I'm also confused, after all, the Prayer Maiden that entered a certain country called Ida and a certain country called Toldheim were both badly damaged." ”
Diluka rolled her eyes and said, "Of course, that's the Demon Race! The Demon Clan's invasion, it is the duty of the goddess to destroy them." That's why it's strange, even if Fluk doesn't have any air combat troops, it shouldn't be in such a defenseless state, except for the defense troops on the border, we haven't seen any other soldiers for so long. It's too lax, you must know that Fluke has just finished a big fight!"
"Indeed, Onexia's size is so big that even if you don't spot Onexia in the sky, your Freya sister should find out when Onexia lands. It's really ...... to relax to such a point" Richard slowly pulled out his long sword and slashed a sword wave into the grass not far behind him, "It's suspicious!"
Behind the bushes, a man in a white coat sensed the danger and immediately ducked. Flexible body like an acrobat.
"Enemy, it's so close!" Diluka held up the Nibelungen as the others took a fighting stance, and Onexia even had a curious look in her eyes.
Richard withdrew his sword and stood where he was. One enemy was spotted, and the other white coats hiding in the canopy of the trees from the grass jumped out and formed a circle.
Richard shook his head and said to Diluka: "We were still discovered, this posture is to get close to the assassination of us, your sister actually used this kind of trick......
The white cloaks approached the center step by step. The men wore white cloaks with a little dirt and necklaces around their necks. The key parts of the body are covered with light Kai, and they are all in shape and holding short daggers.
"Martyrs!" Diluka recognized the white cloaks.
"Martyrs?"
"This is a unit that has been secretly trained, and it is unique to Sister Freya. These people are fanatics of believing in the goddess, trained from a young age, never sparing their lives when fighting, and willing to give everything they have to the goddess. They all wear necklaces around their necks with statues of Freya's sisters. But the martyrs are usually around Sister Freya, so is Sister Freya also nearby?"
"Maybe it's nearby. You just said that Fluk's air force is not good, but they have excellent ground forces, good enough to evade our perception, and I can now understand your sister's thoughts, and the sky can't prevent it and solve it when we come down. Richard said calmly, while the White Martyr slowly approached.
Richard's artifact ignited the power of the shadows, and several others raised their weapons or condensed into new magic.
"Stop!"
A loud shout sounded not far away, and the white martyrs stopped their movements at this moment, and a mature and beautiful woman walked out of the golden sea in the distance.
"I just told you to hold them up, who ordered you to act without permission!"
Hearing this, the white martyrs all lowered their arms and lowered their heads without saying a word. The encirclement was also lifted, and the martyrs stood behind the women one by one in an orderly manner, until they stood behind them, and Richard was less oppressive around him, and although these oppressive energies could not pose a threat to Richard, they could still give everyone an uncomfortable feeling.
"Sister Freya......" Diluka muttered in a low voice, it turned out that the woman in front of her was Freya, the goddess of the Autumn Kingdom.
