The army led by Ahmed not only included a full number of 500 mountain hunters, but also nearly 100 guards at the three outposts of the Gray-headed Eagle, the lark, and the white falcon, as well as three high-ranking priests of the Temple of Life, reaching the size of a complete army in terms of quantity and quality. (Starter)

Even El noticed a noticeable change in the smoke of the village in the distance, but the exhausted robbers turned a blind eye to this, and were bent on burning and looting, which could only be said to be their own death.

If the three high-ranking priests were to say that they had a mission, Ahmed actually gathered all the forces of the three outposts in the region in a frenzy, and if you add the three hundred cavalry brought by El, this force is enough to wage a war against the other border lords. What treasure is worth such a big deal about Isttalen?

"Now that we're back at home, there's no need to hide it. Seeing the cavalry brought by El, Ahmed's cautious attitude finally relaxed.

He led El and Timmy to the pack horse parked in the village granary, opened the sealed box on the back of the pack horse, and a warm green light suddenly emanated, El subconsciously took a deep breath, only to feel that the fatigue of his body was swept away in this green light.

It was only when this layer of green light gradually dissipated that the true face of the goods in the box was revealed. Among the sawdust used as a buffer, there were neatly arranged pieces of green translucent gems the size of a fist, and El carefully touched them, and found that the surface of these green gems was very cold, and the green glow was actually a mist of water that had condensed and then volatilized on the ore.

"This is the Origin Stone, also known as the Primordial Essence of Life, which contains abundant life energy and is one of the rarest magical minerals. Legend has it that this ore has been mined since ancient times, and all that remains is scraps. It wasn't until half a year ago that we discovered a vein by chance during our exploration of the Black Forest. These are the first ores to be excavated. ”

"It's a good thing at first glance, and it's definitely worth a lot of money. El nodded and said, this sentence was immediately met with an angry glare from the high-ranking priest of the Temple of Life next to him.

"These are the tears of Anastassa, a gift from the goddess to mortals, how can it be measured in money!" The high-ranking priest screamed excitedly like a fried cat, looking at the bloodshot eyes of the three of them, I am afraid that they have not had a good night's sleep until now for this batch of gems.

"Yes, yes, it really can't be measured in terms of money, it's an insult to the goddess of life. Ahmed closed the box, walked out with El, and squeezed El's eyes while the three high-ranking priests were not paying attention: "So they can only exchange one Holy Nun." ”

Have you all been eaten by dogs?" scolded El in his heart. He knew a little about the affairs of St. Sister Mary Vienne, but he didn't expect it to be such an exchange of interests.

The Holy Sister is the chosen people of God, and it can also be said that she is the embodiment of the gods in the mortal world, and what a revered status. The Cult of the Gods of Kanillas contended with hundreds of schools, and among them, the Holy Nun born in the same era could be counted on one hand, and the Holy Sister of the Temple of Life was the only one.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is conceivable how precious this batch of life primordial ores is, so that the Temple of Life does not hesitate to tear off its old face to buy and sell people. If you think about it further, I am afraid that the goddess of life has already been acquiesced in behind this business, otherwise how would ordinary sacrifices dare to use holy nuns as a negotiating condition?

"Why are you marching in such a hurry when this ore is so important?" asked El, puzzled. According to Palanti's estimate, the hunters' brigade will not be able to return to the White Falcon post until at least today, and now it seems that Ahmed not only returned early, but also deliberately gathered all the forces of the surrounding posts, and I don't know what trouble it is.

According to the regulations of the Istaron military, the troops stationed at the reconnaissance posts must not be easily mobilized unless there is a particularly serious emergency, and the duty of this unit is not only to detect and monitor the intelligence situation in the surrounding area, but also to be a reserve force in case of trouble.

"On my way back, I heard that Isttalon had gone to war with the invaders of the underworld. Ahmed said.

"The war is over and not for long. El said truthfully, even if the Landwalker returned, Isttalen's existing forces would be enough to sustain the war, and Ahmed must know this better than himself, so why did he make such a move?

"We caught a little guy who was chattering before this, and I was very concerned about his words. Ahmed led El to a small mud hut outside the granary, motioned for the vigilant soldiers to leave, and pushed the door open himself.

As soon as the light in the room lit up, the short figure squatting in the corner holding a rice bowl and eating Hesai raised his head vigilantly, and when he saw that it was Ahmed coming in, he snorted coldly and lowered his head and continued to eat.

"Archer...... Nasty archers, there are archers everywhere......" The man muttered as he ate, small but audible, but with a strange accent that sounded more like a curse.

El's eyes widened in surprise and he was speechless for a moment, for he realized that he actually knew this guy - the kobold Apache! Didn't this wheather slip away with his own tribe long before the landwalker invasion?

"On the way back, we met a migrating tribe of kobolds, and we wanted to kill them out of secrecy, but this guy came forward and convinced me," Ahmed shrugged and said noncommittally, "Kobolds are born miners and can help us dig that vein." Employing city laborers carries the risk of leaks, but such a small sub-tribe is easier to control. ”

"You need industrious workers, and my tribe needs survival and shelter, it's all fate, archers. Apache shook his head.

It's a match made in heaven for an adulterer, El slandered in his heart, but this can't be the reason why Ahmed gathered troops, I'm afraid that this god stick once again made an alarmist prediction.

"Is it for such a simple reason?"

"Of course not. Ahmed shook his head.

"My people have been given the right to live, and your homeland will be destroyed. I saw the apostles descend with the heavenly fire, the bustling city turned to ashes overnight, and you were the only hope for survival. Apache swallowed the food in his mouth and said word for word, "Therefore I advise you to slow down and not to kill yourself and waste the favor that Gaia has bestowed." ”

"What is he talking about?" Elle pursed his lips and looked at Ahmed, who was standing next to him with a serious face, and although he had always been skeptical of the old wand in his heart, he keenly grasped one of the key words in this passage - apostle!

"I thought he was making things up when he was well fed, but ......" Ahmed gave El a deep look and whispered, "Three days ago, he foresaw the appearance of the thieves and your army. At the time he said......"

"I saw the thugs destroy the white goshawk's lair, and the young human archers followed closely with the black knights, who did not yet know that he would be the last leader. ”

"The Last Leader......" Apache looked up at El with burning eyes, repeating in his hoarse and strange tone.

"That...... That's not why you're putting me in charge, are you?" the smile on El's face stiffened, and he asked Ahmed in disbelief.

"At first, I thought he was talking about GLP, but I didn't expect it to be you, a little ghost who came out of nowhere. Ahmed shook his head in annoyance: "I don't know why, my heart has not been quiet these days, and I always feel that something will happen." So it's better to believe it, and it never hurts to be careful and prepare with both hands, and besides, what's the harm to you?"

"Mr. Ahmed, you think too highly of me!" said El, who had no experience in commanding an army before, and had been exhausted from commanding a cavalry unit last night, and now the number of people had been directly expanded to the size of a brigade.

The bigger problem is that the other leaders of this force don't have a person who looks reliable, and the Lori Knight who is surging forward is just that, and now there is an extremely superstitious middle-aged uncle...... El saw no hope at all.

"Captain El, I believe in your abilities!" Ahmed said solemnly, patting him on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I don't have that confidence. El smiled wryly.
