Rhodes walked through the ruins of Erengrad, wearing armor made of bear bone and cold iron, holding a Mithril weapon in his hand, and iron plate armor in his hand, many of which were new, but had been baptized by war. The armor of Ersun is already covered with potholes and scars, and no one knows how many wars this equipment has gone through since its inception. Only know that it ended up in the hands of the King of the North.

And the Mithril Battle Axe, which once cut off the head of the leader of the beastmen, and once fought against the strongest orc of the Middle Ages, Grimg Ironskin.

North of Kislev, the temperature in early autumn is already very low, and snow has begun to fall in some places, stepping on the ruined land and looking at the devastated city, Rhodes is full of emotion. The last time I was here was five years ago, when Errengrad was suffering a brutal massacre. Five years later, when I set foot on this land again, I am still hungry and poor. In this land, the war never seems to have stopped.

In the distance, the dome of the Great Temple of Thor is faintly visible. During the last Battle of Erlengrad, the Temple of Thor, the Temple of Fire, and the Temple of Bear sheltered many people, and as the Chosen One, Rhodes felt the need to go in and worship. Without the favor of the gods, he is just an ordinary person.

On the way, a large number of knights appeared at the end of the scorched earth city avenue. Rhodes knew that it was the Knights of the Black Rose in Alves' letter. Presumably, after the capture of Erengrad, they sailed south and landed at the old port to join them.

To be honest, although the Knights of the Black Rose are powerful, it is really not something that Rhodes expects to join this war. Because, although this knight order belongs to the Moorish sect, it is still part of the official background of the empire. The upper echelons of the Order and the Empire were more or less connected. Regardless, they had helped him defeat Errengrad's naval fleet, and he had to thank him.

When this knight troop came to the front, Rhodes realized that some of these people were familiar faces - Dafert.

Moorish believers, Dafert the Night Raven had excitement and pride written on his face. He had fought alongside the White Bear Lord, now the King of the North, and Rhodes was arguably one of the few lords in the dark land of Kislev who supported the Moorish Religion. Daft will never forget that when there was a massive rebellion in Old Erengrad and Queen Catalina purged the Moors from the country, it was Rhodes who covered them to leave the country and leave the land.

And now, they are back again, with gratitude, with troops and armor. Despite the Battle of Blackhammer Bay, their fleet losses were not small, but this was only the first step in their re-landing in Kislev. The High Priest of the Moorish Empire means that the Knights of the Black Rose will re-establish the protection of the Moorish religion in Kislev. And the first goal they had to unite was Rhodes, who was good for Moorish......

Rhodes couldn't guess the specific purpose of the Knights' landing in Kislev, but in any case, without the help of the Black Rose Knights, Erengrad would not have been so easily defeated. It can be said that the victory in the Battle of Blackhammer Bay and the capture of Erengrad turned the entire tide of the battle, and the originally weak northern forces were suddenly strengthened a lot. to the point where it can be equal to the regular army of Kislev. Of course, if the southern lords join the war and completely side with Caterina, the northern border still has no advantage. After all, after two wars, Errengrad is no longer the most prosperous city in the north, and its economic strength after the siege is even inferior to Blackhammer Castle......

"We meet again, brother. ”

Daft hugged Rhodes, who was cloaked in a manticore, and on the vast ruins, they hugged like old friends they hadn't seen for many years. It is also true that the Ice Queen arranged for Rhode to hunt down the Ghoul King back then, and if it weren't for Dafert's help, I'm afraid she would have become the Ghoul King's dinner at that time.

Although he is not the most combat-ready warrior, Dafort is undoubtedly the knight with a good character.

Rhodes noticed that behind his old friend stood several tall knights in gray armor, who had been staring behind him as Daft hugged Rhodes defenselessly. Rhodes guessed that this was the famous Knights of Oath in the Moorish order, specializing in protecting important clergy in the Moorish order. Cool text

And the samurai in the distance, wearing black chain mail and holding various weapons, should be the Moorish Black Guards. Unlike the Moorish order that roamed Kislev in the past, the vast Order of Knights has the most formal configuration, and these battle-hardened warriors and knights are skilled at dealing with all kinds of undead creatures.

"I didn't expect you to come back. The land of Kislev is full of evil and darkness, carnage and blood. Every year. ”

Rod sighed.

"That's why I'm coming back. ”

Daffert replied with a smile. The wolf smoke in the distance had not yet dissipated, and the sky over the harbor was smoky and yellow. The Moors began to wander around, clearing the city.

"Tell me about your experience since you left Blackhammer. ”

Rhodes asks that four years ago, Dafert, a Night Raven, had sailed from Blackhammer Castle to the Empire. In order to cover the Moorish cultist, Blackhammer was also searched by the Frost Witch.

"From Baker Harbor to various Moorish strongholds throughout the Empire, he finally arrived at Aldolphe. "Finally I met with the archbishop and relayed to him what had happened in Kislev. ”

"So your archbishop agreed to organize the Knights to protect the Moorish Church from Kislev again?"

Rod asked.

"It's not that simple. Even the archbishop could not raise the Knights alone, and we had many discussions at the headquarters. Traveling to Kislev again, the cost is bound to be enormous. As you said, this country, this land is almost every year in war, and in a turbulent situation, it is very risky to dispatch the Knights. At the very least, the money is huge. ”

Dafert said, squinting his eyes and looking around, as he said, there was a lot of war, wolf smoke everywhere, and death was happening all the time. In such war-torn countries, the average life expectancy of civilians is no more than 30 years.

"However, there were so many people who died, and the winds of death prevailed in Kislev, so the end result of the discussion was - we must land in Kislev again, and where there is death, there are Moors, and this is our mission. ”

Daffert turned his head and said seriously.
