Chapter 10: The Spear of Fate
Elena laughed loudly for a moment, gradually retracted her smile, looked at the sea in front of her, covered her flushed cheeks with her flared sleeves, and said with some distraction:
"I know what you've been up to lately. ”
"I'm not surprised at all, after all, you're a witch-queen who is proficient in prophecy...... That prophecy last time really pitted me so badly. The black-haired knight looked indignant.
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Miss Witch continued to hide half of her pretty face, looking away from the sea, and looking at him with a pair of sapphire blue pupils.
"Didn't you tease me?" Areley looked into the other's eyes, looking at her with a reproachful look.
"Forget it...... Anyway, it's been a long time since I've been in Celtic, and I was going to stay here to help you out, but some guys have noticed my presence...... So, I have to settle my own problems first. ”
Elena waited for the blush between her cheeks to dissipate, slowly lowered her arm, her delicate face showed a solemn look, her eyes were fixed on the other party's eyes, and she said word by word:
"Beware of men with short guns. ”
"Short gun, why?" the black-haired knight was once again confused by her.
"Because ......"
Miss Wu Wong tightened her eyebrows, her pretty face turned white for a while, and she quickly covered her thin lips with her slender hand, and said vaguely:
"Because I saw some strange fragments, it was a blood-stained short gun that pierced the hearts of many warriors, and one of them was you. ”
"Heart?" Yalei subconsciously poked his right hand to his chest, and then smiled easily:
"Piercing my heart won't kill me. ”
"Do you think I'm joking?" Elena put on a cold expression, her blue eyes glowing with a cold silver glow in the setting sun.
"Okay! I believe you!" Although the black-haired knight felt that this prophecy came a little inexplicably, for the sake of the previous generation of witch queens, he still wrote down the other party's words.
"Remember!" said Miss Witch. Only then did he remove his right hand from his thin lips, and earnestly instructed again:
"It was a bloodstained gun. ”
"Yes, I'm sure I remember. Yalei replied solemnly.
"Looking forward to seeing each other next time. ”
Elena finally smiled with relief, grabbed his grip, and before the other party could respond, her entire body was swallowed up by a sudden black cavity.
......
Achaemeni Papal State. Temple of All Nations.
Hundreds of bell-shaped stone pillars form a magnificent forest of columns, and the golden throne towers above the hall with vertical grooves carved into the body, and the pillows and pillars are intricately carved on the base. The dome is full of frescoes depicting heavenly scenes, in which countless angels spread their snow-white wings, and the light of the setting sun shines through the cross-shaped hanging windows in the sky, leaving a cross of light on the white jade floor of the temple, the largest of which is in front of the Holy Cross behind the golden throne.
The cross of light coincided with the gold-cast Cross of Radiance. So that the whole throne is shrouded in light, and it looks solemn and holy.
"The new governor of Celts has cut off the trade routes, and is gradually integrating the strongest types of demons in the region, and is currently preparing an army, and the king of the highlands wants us to increase our assistance. ”
Cardinal Joseph stood directly below the golden throne, his eyebrows lowered, and recounted respectfully.
"The attitude of the Rosevians towards the southern Celts is just a buffer zone. Even sending a Knight of Origin to become a Governor is nothing more than a play to stall for time. And the population of the northern Celts is a hundred times greater than that of the south. It stands to reason that even if we don't give any assistance, the Fannon family still has an absolute advantage. ”
The voice coming from the throne was full of majesty, a temperament that can only be cultivated after a long time at the apex of power.
"But our goal is to expand southward, and only the integration of the whole of Celtic by the Free Alliance can form a coercion over Gaul. Thus disrupting the positions of the Rosavians...... We need a strong Highland kingdom, even if their bodies are full of ambition and greed. ”
He narrated unhurriedly until he had fully explained what he meant, and then he turned his gaze to the golden throne and bowed slightly:
"This is also a situation that you are happy to see, Holy See. ”
View the entire Polis Plain. The only person who is qualified to sit on the throne of gold is the current Pope, King Halivan III.
At this moment, the ruler of the Supreme Heaven wears a triple crown on his head, holds a cross in his hand, and is dressed in a sumptuous black robe, which is somewhat close to the cardinal's robe, but more delicate and luxurious. More than the most expensive silks, indescribable fabrics, piping embroidered with gold thread, like the hem of a cape, with two streamers hanging down the back.
"Therefore, I will send Etrir to overthrow the rule of the Orthodox heresy in the southern Celts"
The Pope's face covered with a silver mask showed a hint of a smile, and his eyes fell on the gauntlet cardinal, and he said unhurriedly:
"And you, Cardinal Youssef, will reverse the heretical beliefs of Orthodoxy and re-spread the Gospel of God. ”
"It's a great honor. ”
Yusuf was just rightly grateful, he knew very well that this was the reward promised by the Pope, as long as he took the southern Celts, he would be able to obtain the entire Celtic property.
However...... It is naturally important to spread the faith and coerce Gaul, but if it is because of this, an angel of the level of Etrir will be dispatched...... It's too risky.
After thinking seriously for a moment, the cardinal said with some hesitation:
+
"Sending angels to participate in earthly disputes may cause wrath on the part of Rosevia...... It is even possible to trigger a full-scale war between the Alliance of Liberty and the Union of Order. ”
"The dispatch of Etrir is only the last weight to ensure victory. ”
Hailifan III raised the power ring of the index finger of his right hand, shot out a pure white pillar of light, and then projected it onto the altar under the throne, and whispered in a fanatical voice:
"Legend has it that in the most distant ancient times, when the world was still one, there was a world tree in the center of the earth that supported the heavens and the earth, and it had seven branches, which turned into the sword of domination of the supreme heaven, and correspondingly had seven rhizomes, which turned into a spear. ”
With the echoes of the ups and downs in the space, a white flame of light burned in the center of the altar, and in the center of the flame, a branch of strange shape slowly rose.
The branch looked like two twisted rhizomes intertwined, like a strange tree with a deformed growth, but it was obviously woody, but it was covered with rust, especially at the point of the point, and there was actually a trace of blood.
"This ...... This one...... Could it be ......!"
Joseph stared at the branches in the flames, his eyes rounded, and his body could not contain the trembling of the flame.
"Adhering to the power of the World Tree, that spear has the power to shatter fate, and all defenses of all natures are meaningless in front of it. It's a pity...... It was permanently damaged in the collision of the Sword of the End of Everything, and the Ending Sword shattered half of its body as a result. Later, the emperor of Rosevia copied it into the Spear of Eussius, which he used to slay a powerful pagan god. ”
As he spoke, the Pope stretched out his other hand to draw the flames into his palm, then gripped the middle of the branch, and the two twisted rhizomes suddenly moved, spiraling and tightening and merging, condensing into a short spear the size of a human arm.
The flames in the center of the altar slowly rose and wrapped around the spear, sealing it in the shape of a scroll.
"Come here, my bishop. ”
Holding the scroll of the short spear in his hand, Khairefan III beckoned to the cardinal, who had completely lost his composure and composure beneath the throne:
"Accept this divine mission that is yours. ”
"Holy See, how can I usurp the glory that belongs to you. Bishop Joseph prostrated himself on the ground with a frightened expression, his body trembling on the white jade floor.
"There is no need to panic, this is the choice of reason and divine will, and we must take advantage of the rare advantage now to achieve real results. ”
The face under the Pope's silver mask was calm, and he said calmly and calmly: "Even if you are an immortal warrior, you can only drink hatred and fate. ”
......
Glamorgan, the ruins of nightmares.
In this new-style army training camp, the sound of neat footsteps stirred up the dust, and groups of recruits clumsily formed several horizontal formations to slowly advance under the sound of officers' orders.
"Fool, tell the difference between the left and right feet and keep the same pace!"
"Hold up the rapid-fire cannon in your hand, flat, do you know what it means to be flat?"
"Kid in the third row, don't always look left and right, look straight ahead, and pay attention to your teammates left and right with the corner of your eye. ”
Two hundred instructors constantly shuttled back and forth in the squad under their command, scolding and scolding the recruits, and using the simplest and most effective method to make them learn to advance in a horizontal formation.
On the high platform in the distance, Yalei watched all this silently, everything was going well for the time being, the new army he conceived was actually not very difficult, it was nothing more than the need for rigorous training, coupled with rapid-fire guns and horizontal jumps.
It is much faster than the traditional way of training, and the reason is simple: the skills of white-knuckle combat cannot be practiced in a few months, at least a few years are decades of hard labor.
It will take at least a few years for such an army to take shape, and the military will certainly not let go easily after it is formed, and it will often hold them for decades.
And the salary can't be low, otherwise a fool will join the army.
This kind of training camp-style legion can indeed train a large number of high-level soldiers, but unfortunately the efficiency is really low, and without the national strength of Rosevia's level, it simply cannot withstand such a waste.
And among them, a large number of soldiers who are stuck in the second order have become ruffians, because they are not needed in big battles, it is useless to fight small-scale battles, and there is no hope of advancing to the ranks, so it is better to live in the legion with peace of mind.
The idea of the future of the Celtic military reform is to use this part of the soldiers who cannot break through and are forced into ruffians by reality, so as to greatly increase the military power of the empire. (To be continued.) )
