Chapter 24: Glory

Aaron had heard the name in the tavern when he was in the Yew Mercenary Regiment, and it seemed that many of the young mercenaries were full of admiration for the woman, but more fearful of it. Aaron was puzzled at the time, and quietly inquired with a talkative thief to find out that although this person named Delis had an angelic face and a devilish body, he was a very difficult character to mess with. Once allowed suitors to express their affection, they all ended up in a miserable end.

As the only daughter of the supreme ruler of Narnia, Delis has naturally become the pride of heaven in this vast region. Tony's wife died young, so he doted on her so much that he almost let him do what he wanted. As the Golden Knight of the Twelfth-level Peak Realm and the commander of the Silver Fox Legion of the four elite legions of the Empire, as long as it is conducive to her improvement of combat power, all the rare treasures will be thrown to her. Coupled with the talent and intelligence of this woman, under the strict supervision of the retired knight Gerard in her childhood, she has entered the strength of the early stage of the high rank in just a few decades. Laughing among the younger generation of Narnia. The stunning beauty, strong strength, strong background, and countless wealth naturally make people feel excited about her and keep thinking about her.

Aaron, who was shouting in his heart that was unlucky, suddenly heard a voice coming from above his head: "Damn, there's an uninvited guest!, guard, guard, damn it, protect the good lady!" Gerald shouted angrily.

"Yes, sir!" to the grumpy butler, the guards all called him Lord as they pleased.

After guessing the background of the origin of Delis and the others, Alan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, which one of them didn't have long eyes to dare to provoke these people?

Under Gerald's warning, the faces of Delis and the others changed slightly, and the old woman also walked out quickly at the same time.

Gerald asked Delis in a loud voice, "Honey, were you followed when you came back? In the three years since its establishment, no outsiders have ever been here. Hmph, this imp must have attracted it!" Gerard glared at the captive lying on the ground.

Delis's face also changed, and she hurriedly asked, "What now?"

After Gerald looked at it for a moment, he said with a rare solemn expression: "There are five people here, and from their spiritual fluctuations, it can be inferred that they are all high-level pinnacle and high-level gold realm powerhouses. In addition to our first brigade in Narnia, only the second brigade has this strength. ”

"Ah, is it ......?" exclaimed Delis.

"No, judging from the aura, they don't look like the strength aura of the second brigade, with the aura of sacredness during the period, they must be outsiders!" Gerard categorically rejected Delis's speculation.

At this time, there was already a roar of the magic array outside the house, and it was obvious that these uninvited guests were not some sudden visitors.

There was a dark silence in a mysterious large cellar in the manor. The sunlight falling from the staircase passage seemed to be swallowed up by darkness. A small magic array was suspended in the dark void in defiance of the earth's gravity, slowly floating up and down. Countless eerie and piercing mist shrouded the entire magic array.

There was obviously a hole in the magic array, as if it had entered another dimension. The sky covered with ink clouds, the eerie and icy winds, and the dead silence of the land showed no sign of life. It's like a world of the dead. But—

The old woman didn't know when she came here, and there were nearly a hundred mages in black robes around her. At this moment, under the command of the old woman, hundreds of mages were scattered around with a giant magic spar as the center, and a strange and mysterious chant sounded.

The vision appeared, and around the magic array, the originally dark space could suddenly clearly see the grass and trees outside the manor, and naturally, I also saw the picture of those strong men constantly bombarding the magic protective cover.

As the chanting gradually became more and more intense, the magic power of all the mages was slowly drained away by the giant hedron in the middle and gathered in the hedrons. Immediately, the magic power was channeled into the large magic circle outside the manor through the connection between the giant spar and the magic medium of the magic array. When each node of the magic array was connected by the magic power, countless dazzling and majestic death magic quickly converged to form a strong seal defense line. Obviously, these mages in the small magic circle are all necromancers. But why did Lord Tony, who was a high-ranking member of the Imperial military, have these necromancers under his command who were condemned and hunted down by the Light Camp?

The residence of his beloved daughter, Tony has considered the issue of security as early as the beginning of its establishment. In the face of a scheming invasion, ordinary soldiers and swordsmen and mages who are inferior to the intruders cannot provide a strong security guarantee for Dalith. So, in addition to dispatching his loyal servants Gerard and Zana, who have followed him for more than 30 years, to protect Delise, he also specially arranged magic seals inside and outside the manor to prevent accidents.

However, Gerald was clearly still unaware of the true strength of the attacker. After several rounds of tentative attacks by those strong men, hundreds of griffons descended from the sky, riding a griffin knight on their backs. They floated in the dark sky above the front of the manor. Behind those five powerhouses, more than three hundred swordsmen stood proudly.

"Damn, it's the people of the Empire of Light! How could they suddenly be here? Hu, those bastards guarding the empire's borders don't know what to eat. By this time, Gerald had already led a group of swordsmen out of the house, glaring angrily at the manor, cursing and cursing. You know, when he was still serving in the Legion, those stowaways and intruders had been taught by him countless times. I didn't expect that after I retired, these descendants of the imperial army would actually sneak here by the people of the Bright Empire, and I really lost the face of the Aragon warriors.

On the high wall in the manor, there were less than two hundred Gerald and they stood proudly, staring coldly at the people from the Bright Empire surrounding them outside the manor, and no one showed panicked behavior, but there was a trace of seriousness on their faces. "Heretic, come out and die!" a divine voice came down from the void.

"Presumptuous, who are you, who dare to trespass into Narnia, the territory of my Silver Fox Legion?" asked Gerald.

"Lord Gerald, that man seems to be the Archbishop of the Temple of Light in the northern region of our country. The **** person squeaked suddenly.

"Ah!" suddenly heard that it was a person from the Holy See, and even the fiery Gerald couldn't help but feel a little weaker. The people of the Holy See can't be offended casually, and it's no joke to label someone as a certain heretic.

"I am Celt, Bishop of the Northern Region of the Empire. Your Silver Fox Legion's long-term secret reception of necromancers has been detected by our master. But remember that you have also contributed to the Empire and the Holy See for hundreds of years. This time, as long as you hand over the heretics in the manor, I can give credit to the Holy See for your deeds, and I will not blame you for the past. Bishop Celt spoke slowly, not loudly, but every word came clearly from three hundred meters away.

"Gerald, it turned out to be you. Why, do you want to go against the will of the Lord?" next to the Bishop, a swordsman in silver armor recognized Gerald.

"Huh~ It turned out to be Falderland, what's the matter, do you Empire of Light also want to join in?" Gerard also recognized the other party and asked.

The Holy See of Light and the Empire of Light are not under the same system. The Holy See of Light is an institution set up by the Supreme God of Light in the plane of the main continent, and the Pope is the apostle of the God of Light. The Empire of Light is not under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, and is an independent entity in nature like other countries. However, the main god worshipped is the god of light.

"Hehe, it is the mission and responsibility of every believer on the mainland to eradicate heretical forces. Gerald, for the sake of past friendships, I advise you not to be stubborn. You don't care about me, and you have to think about the consequences of going against the Lord's will. You don't want to let your decision alone affect the entire Silver Fox Legion, or even your Aragon Empire. The corners of Falderland's mouth lifted slightly, and he reminded.

"Hmph-"

The situation in front of him suddenly put Gerrard in a dilemma. Indeed, Falderland was right, the Holy See was not something to blame for itself. But following Lord Tony for decades, Lord Tony's thoughts, Gerald can naturally guess a thing or two. The necromancer secretly recruited so that he could deal with several other elite forces in the empire. The competition within the Imperial military is fierce, and the weak are weak, and the dull rod and dark arrow follow. Once she loses the basic power she relies on, Narnia surrenders it to others.

The consequences of losing Narnia are known to anyone who is not a fool: the glory of the past is gradually fading, and the Silver Fox Legion, formed by multiple forces, causes infighting, and finally disintegrates and disappears into the dust of history.

A legion that has lost its glory, does it still make sense for him to exist?

As if he had made a decision, Gerald's eyes shrank suddenly, and the fighting spirit on his body swelled in the dark, obviously to protect the necromancer group that Master Tony had recruited with great difficulty.

Maybe it's a heart-to-heart connection, or maybe it's a soul connection! The old woman's eyes under the manor tightened at the same time, and the death magic in the giant spar quickly transmitted to the large magic array outside the manor.

Silently, a black mist suddenly rose around the manor—the undead canopy. Around the manor, skeletons and zombies rose from the dirt. The grievances of the dead for dozens of miles near the manor were frantically pumped out, and the air was suddenly filled with a large amount of dead qi, and the strength of these undead creatures who had just been resurrected suddenly increased greatly. And those griffin knights and the light swordsmen on the ground seemed to have been cursed by those disgruntled undead, and their power was invisibly weakened.
