Chapter 859: The operation begins, and the whereabouts are revealed
How strong Yun Feng's true strength is, with the vision of Old Man Horton, may not be clear, but Yun Feng is good at teaching disciples, and this point, as long as you know a little bit about Yun Feng, you should know it very clearly. In fact, the reason why there have been a large number of strong people in the iResearch Continent over the years, like mushrooms after a rain, has been popping up one after another, in addition to this mutation, the academy system developed by Yun Feng at the beginning is definitely indispensable!
Although there were already many academies on the Eri Continent before Yunfeng, these academies could be said to be quite imperfect in terms of system and system, and the talents that could be cultivated every year were also quite limited. It is precisely because of Yunfeng's series of reforms in Tianlong Academy and the cultivation of a large number of talents that more and more people gradually realize what great significance an excellent academy has!
Even today, the existence of the Heavenly Dragon Academy can still benefit the Heavenly Dragon Empire immensely, even if Yun Feng has been away for hundreds of years, but this academy can still be called one of the top institutions of higher learning in the entire continent!
Although the Golden Dragon Dragon Family tried their best to drive away Yun Feng and the Qinglong Yun Family, they took over the academy system left by Yun Feng almost without change! Because of this, even though the Heavenly Dragon Empire has experienced two large-scale internal divisions in a row over the years, it is still able to steadily maintain the glory of the head of the three major human empires, and these expanding academy systems can be said to have definitely played a vital role!
And the people in power in other countries are naturally not stupid, and after seeing the effect, they will naturally follow suit, so even if it is only more than a hundred years have passed. But in today's Eri Continent, the development of the academy system can be said to be quite mature. Even if it is in addition to the three major empires of mankind, those other kingdoms, and even principalities, as long as they have a little bit of strength. If there is no decent college in China, it is simply impossible to go out and meet people!
Not only human beings, but even many alien races have also begun to learn the human academy system, and it has developed to the present, such as the war academy of the orc race, the deep sea academy of the sea clan, the molten fire academy of the dwarf race, and so on...... It is said that even the undead who are known as the public enemies of the mainland can usually only operate in the shadows. have quietly set up their Soul Academy......
Even the loosely managed mercenary union is said to want to set up a mercenary academy, but because of the entanglement of interests, it is too troublesome, so until now, the top management of the mercenary union is still constantly fighting with each other, but according to the news that old man Horton gets. I heard that this long-standing controversy seems to be close to a conclusion. And this mercenary academy, which has been in preparation for a long time, if nothing else, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be officially established.
With Old Man Houghton's current status, once this mercenary academy is officially established, he will be a high-level faculty member among them. It shouldn't be a problem. In fact, Old Man Houghton had even made up his mind, if he really couldn't advance to the demigod realm, it seemed that serving in the mercenary academy in the future could be regarded as a good choice. After this trip to the ice fields, of course. The demigod realm is no longer too much of an obstacle for Old Man Houghton, so this previous thought naturally gradually faded away.
But even so, Old Man Horton still knew very well that Yun Feng definitely had an ability that others could not match when it came to teaching students and disciples! Not to mention how many students above the legendary realm Yun Feng have taught over the years, whether it is the Scarlet Academy or the later Qingyun Academy, this is not something that an old mercenary of the Holy Realm like Old Man Horton can know, but among Yun Feng's apprentices, two have successfully become gods, such news, Old Man Horton is definitely clear, after all, when Jiaojiao and Wang Xing, the two of them ignited the divine fire, it was originally completed in this Eri Continent!
Being able to teach the gods to come to Yun Feng, how powerful is his own strength? Well, even putting aside Yun Feng's own strength, the fact that he can teach the true gods alone is enough to make Old Man Horton look up to him. If possible, Old Man Horton even wished that one day he would be able to worship under Yunfeng's door, but it was obvious that Old Man Horton himself was too clear about his own situation, not to mention that his current potential was almost completely exhausted, even if he was still at the peak of his youth, with his own qualifications, this Sword God Lord would probably not be able to look down on him.
However, his own adult may not look down on him, but Yulina may not be hopeless! So this mission, Old Man Horton didn't ask for any other reward, the only requirement was that after the mission was over, Yulina could be allowed to enter Yunfeng's academy to study. Old man Horton is also shrewd, he didn't directly ask Yun Feng to take Yu Lina as an apprentice, Old Man Horton actually saw it a long time ago, Yun Feng obviously didn't mean this, otherwise, when he first saw Yu Lina, he would have taken the initiative to mention it. And Old Man Horton also knew that although in his own opinion, Yulina's talent could indeed be said to be very good, but in the eyes of this Sword God Lord, I am afraid that this may not be the case, after all, the Eri Continent is so big, what kind of genius does not have it? Not to mention that if this Lord really wants to accept apprentices, the scope of his choice may not be limited to the Eri Continent!
Old man Horton is indeed quite shrewd, his request is just an admission quota in Qingyun Academy, for such a request, Yun Feng is indeed not easy to refuse, besides, with Yu Lina's natural nature, if you want to be his personal disciple, it is indeed not qualified, but if you just want to enter Qingyun Academy to study, it is still completely qualified.
After getting Yun Feng's affirmative answer, Old Man Horton and the others were also full of fighting spirit, although Yu Lina did not directly worship Yun Feng as a teacher, but being able to enter the direct academy of this adult to study was already a great creation in itself, in comparison. The gains they had made on the Silverwind Ice Field before were really nothing.
Old Man Horton and Yulina basically don't need to face the true god directly in their mission this time, so as long as they are careful, the danger is actually not too great, and they just want to complete this task. But it's not so easy, even if he gets Yun Feng's guidance and hints in advance, to be honest, as for how far he can go, even Old Man Horton himself doesn't have much confidence.
But fortunately, Yun Feng didn't have any direct hard requirements for their mission this time, as long as they could achieve the most basic goals, they could actually do it. Of course, if the progress on their side goes more smoothly, the actions on Yun Feng's side will naturally be easier. And since they had already participated in this operation, Old Man Horton and the others naturally hoped that Yun Feng would succeed in slaughtering the gods!
For Green Sea City, Old Man Horton can be said to be extremely familiar to them, after all, they are exploring the Silverwind Ice Field. It's not a matter of a day or two. Although Valerie, the goddess of cold night, has been acting quite low-key for a while. But as a god, if you want to develop your faith, you can't keep it mysterious for so long, no matter what. What's more, Valerie's own divinity and priesthood do not have this quality, but the goddess of mist, Elena. Whether it is the style of acting, or the field of one's own priesthood, it is indeed more inclined to be secretive.
Because of this, Old Man Houghton and them hardly made much effort. It was easy to find the Cold Night Church, the largest station in Green Sea City. It was not the temple that was obvious, it was only for the prayers of ordinary believers, and in such an extraordinary matter now, Valerie herself had scruples, and naturally it was impossible for her most loyal believers to appear in such a dangerous place.
If it were someone else, it would definitely not be easy to find the gathering place of Valerie and other believers, but for the old man Houghton, more than a month was enough for him to find out his target smoothly.
Before this, even Old Man Horton himself didn't expect that the gathering place of these cold night believers would actually be in the City Lord's Mansion. You must know that although Green Sea City is not a strategic location, it is also an important grain production base in the north of the Dark Sun Empire, and Green Sea City has always been directly in the hands of the royal family of the Dark Sun Empire. Although the power of the royal family here may not be too strong, but this kind of situation where even the City Lord's Mansion has been completely infiltrated by people has never appeared before this!
"Sure enough, the current Dark Sun Empire is actually already full of holes inside!" Even the well-informed old man Horton couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, if it weren't for Yun Feng's relationship, maybe he really didn't have to, he could make up his mind and choose to stand on the side of the Dark Sun Empire, in the final analysis, Old Man Horton may not have much confidence in the royal family of the Dark Sun Empire, but for Yun Feng, he has absolutely no doubts! What's more, after so many years in the Dark Sun Empire, Old Man Horton actually knew very well that Empress Laxis, who was now in charge of the power of the Dark Sun Empire, was also not a simple figure! This time the huge changes in the Ari Continent, the Dark Sun Empire may not have no chance of winning at all!
Regardless of sighing or sighing, now is the time to do business, Old Man Horton did not dare to continue to delay, and after confirming that the scheduled time had arrived, he decisively took the lead in taking Yulina and eight other legendary-level mercenaries to quietly enter the City Lord's Mansion.
Although it is the City Lord's Mansion, due to the armament of Green Sea City, it has always been a problem, so the security here is actually not too tight, at least on the periphery of the City Lord's Mansion, it is indeed the case. As for the inside, since this place has now been occupied by the Cold Night Cultists, Old Man Holden knows very well that the danger of this trip is actually quite high, and the enemy they will face next is definitely not comparable to those waste guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
Originally, Old Man Horton planned to avoid the exposure of his whereabouts as much as possible before approaching the innermost residence of the other party, but now, just after entering the inner court, because of the negligence of a secret whistle hidden in the shadows, their whereabouts were finally exposed in advance.
The light of magic shot into the air, illuminating the entire inner courtyard in a transparent light, and Old Man Houghton's face was also very ugly at this time, despite the dark whistle that had issued a warning before. Now they have completely lost their lives, but it is clear that their own whereabouts have also been completely exposed.
"Forget it, if it's exposed, it's exposed, I didn't think about it before anyway. Ability to complete tasks quietly. "Old man Horton is also helpless, after all, they are just a mercenary group, not a thief group or an assassin group or a killer group, this kind of infiltration mission is really not very professional!
But it doesn't matter, anyway, their goal this time would have been to make a certain amount of noise, otherwise, if they could really solve the target quietly. Of course, it is possible to complete the tasks assigned by Yun Feng, but in this way, at most, it can only meet the most basic requirements, and it can be said that it will not be of much help to Yun Feng's actions.
Now that they have all decided to really participate in this operation, Old Man Holden naturally doesn't want to be as simple as just making soy sauce once. It's not necessarily the best, but at least. You have to do your best, or else. At that time, no matter whether they succeed or fail in the end, I'm afraid they won't be able to meet Yun Feng.
Although it was discovered in advance, Old Man Horton, Yulina and the others did not want to retreat at all, and seeing that strong people continued to pour out, the mercenary group glanced at each other. Then, without saying a word, he directly launched an extremely fierce attack on these Cold Night Cultists!
If you want to talk about large-scale battles, the loose mercenaries really can't compare with those elite legions. But if it's just a small-scale battle, these mercenaries who have been on missions together all the year round can definitely be said to be unusually close to each other! And those who can participate in this operation are at least the powerhouses of the legendary realm, although there are many cold night cultists in the City Lord's Mansion, and there are indeed many strong people among them, but for a while, they may not be able to help this powerful mercenary team!
Although Old Man Horton is still in the Sacred Realm Realm, since he absorbed some of the dragon blood of the demigod wurm in the Silver Wind Ice Field, the threshold of the demigod realm can almost be said to be no longer existent for him, although it is still the peak realm of the Sacred Realm, but the real strength may not be worse than those other demigod low-level powerhouses!
It can be seen that this City Lord's Mansion is indeed a very important stronghold of the Cold Night Church, otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be high-level priests and holy knights in the Holy Domain realm, and looking at it like this, it is obvious that there are more than one or two, but even if several high-level priests and holy knights of the Holy Domain realm join forces, they still can't help Old Man Horton, a strong man at the peak of the Holy Domain, but under the suppression of Old Man Horton, these Holy Domain powerhouses of the Cold Night Church are actually faintly at a disadvantage.
At this time, not only these Sanctuary powerhouses were shocked in their hearts, but the other Cold Night Sectists were also not much better, although in addition to Old Man Houghton, including Yulina, the nominal head of the regiment, there were only nine legendary mercenaries who really participated in this operation, and the legendary powerhouses of the Cold Night Church had obviously exceeded this number, although there were not many more, but these high-level priests who had mastered divine arts, or Templar knights who themselves had divine grace, were originally much stronger than other powerhouses of the same level, and it stands to reason that no matter how you look at it, Yulina and they should not have much chance of winning。
But in fact, it was Yulina and her group of mercenaries who had the upper hand. Although Yulina has also gained a lot of benefits from the Silver Wind Ice Field, these benefits are difficult to truly transform into combat power in a short period of time, so she is still only at the peak of the legend, and she has not even reached the realm of the Holy Realm. Even if Yu Lina's current real strength is already comparable to some low-level powerhouses in the Holy Domain, in the face of so many legendary-level Cold Night Cultists, just her strength alone is still unable to truly control the situation.
What really made those Cold Night Cultists feel extremely mad was that the overall strength of these invaders was obviously not comparable to them, but with the help of that strange "Portable Divine Array", they were stunned and forcibly suppressed them! And if the strength of the disciples did not reach the legendary realm, there was no way to even get too close to the battlefield at all, otherwise, just the continuous influx of Cold Night Cultists from Green Sea City would be enough to completely overwhelm Yulina and their mercenary team.
The so-called "portable divine array" in the eyes of these Cold Night Sectists, there is no doubt that it is naturally specially prepared by Yun Feng, although Yun Feng's own divine attainments are indeed not very good, but after combining the theoretical knowledge of his original world, this kind of Yun Feng's original divine array, in some cases, is really quite useful!
It's like the divine array that Yulina and they are using now, although it is basically difficult to play a big role against those really strong people, such as those above the demigod realm, and even if it is only against the strong people of the holy realm realm, the effect may not be too good, but if the opponent is only a legendary realm, or even a legendary realm has not yet reached, then the result is actually very clear now.
And more importantly, this kind of divine array, in addition to being easy to carry, the most important thing is that it does not need to consume too much divine power, when necessary, even if it is fighting energy and magic power, it can be reluctantly urged, although the effect may be much worse, but if it is only used as an auxiliary, the effect is definitely still very obvious.
