Volume 5 The Return of the King 164 Great Goals
That ditch really appeared out of nowhere!
The place I passed through was called Cowling, and Cowlin was a very important place in Talonshire, where I met some resistance when I passed with the Alsatian army. When Master Terosus told me about that place, I remembered that time, and I even remembered how Nathanos had been killed, but the appearance of this great ravine was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Well...... I guess it wasn't expected at all.
Who would have thought that Mr. Marduk's weapons would be so powerful? But that is true, but now the question is how to stop it from spreading.
They tried a lot of ways to fill the ditch, and even sent troops to fill the ditch, but it didn't work at all, and the soil filled in it fell like melting snow the next day and the third day. No one knows what's going on under the dirt and what's happening.
Some say it's because the East Wilder area is contaminated with fungal spores, and those giant mushrooms are eroding the ground and making it soft, while others say it's because of the giant maggots.
The maggots were really large, and there were quite a few maggots near and below the ditch. So some people said that it was because the insects ate the soil.
If you've ever seen an earthworm, you know that this thing can eat dirt, but the point is that it's giant maggots! Not earthworms. And even if you eat these things every day and every night, you can't eat so much, can you? Besides, don't you just eat it?
So there was a suggestion to dig up the ground to see what was going on, and the result was ...... Nothing was found! There were no spore hyphae, no maggots and no earthworms, and on the third day after digging, the dug place began to sink, and they continued to dig, but nothing came out, and the soil just sank.
This matter gave the leaders here a headache, not only because this ancient building, temple, and holy place might be destroyed, but more importantly, it caused panic and suspicion among the people.
This place is called the Chapel of the Wish of Light, and it is called the Chapel because it existed here thousands of years ago, and it was indeed a chapel at that time, but it is called the closest place to the gods because of the practices, especially the superordination, which is said to be very good, and this is not far from the most famous holy place in East Wild, Tyr, which is the place most related to Tyr, the founder and guardian of the human world, so it is a holy place in the northern human world.
For nearly a thousand years, countless people have made pilgrimages here to pray for blessings. Many people in Stormgard have crossed mountains and risked their lives just to sublimate their souls.
It's no wonder that the East Welder region is the richest place in Lordaeron.
Because this place is sacred, there are countless people who want to bury their bones here, and there are countless people who are willing to pay for their bones here. And around the Chapel of the Wish of Light and under the core church are the bones of countless rich people and various heroes and warriors.
And the appearance of one person who made this temple even more sacred: Master Alonsos Fao. Master Fao was allowed to practice here at a young age because of his intelligence, and his extraordinary talent soon made him the most famous apprentice here, and he understood the path of light more than almost anyone else.
However, theory can only be edified, preaching is always pale, and practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, so at that time, Master Faao began to pray for blessings and heal people in his own way, and even give people excess.
Whether it was for his medical skills or for some other reason, his fame grew, and later he left here and was invited to become the bishop of the city of Stratholme, as for the reason why Master Fao was transferred, it is not known why, but after he went to Stratholme, in order to show respect for him, in addition to making him the bishop of the Cathedral of Stratholme, a church was built for him in his name.
As many people know, Master Fao was transferred to the Grand Monastery of Tirisfa, where he transitioned for a while, and then went directly to the royal city of Lordaeron to serve as the bishop of Lordaeron Cathedral. Later, shortly after I arrived in Lordaeron, he was also elevated to the rank of Archbishop of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, for he was the Summoner of the Light, which is well documented in the history of mankind.
This achievement made him famous in history, and from the moment he became the Archbishop of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, he became the leader of the Holy Light Sect of the entire human world. He is the incomparably powerful representative of Lordaeron, the core representative of all human kingdoms, and the greatest saint of the Holy Light Sect since its inception.
The Chapel of the Wish of Light has become even more famous because of the enlightenment of Master Fao, and has even been deified. And now...... The temple was in danger of collapsing due to corrosion.
In fact, I also know, and these bald generals also know that faith must not collapse.
Once this place collapsed or was destroyed, it was not only the mistakes and incompetence of the fledgling armed forces that occupied the good place, but also the closest place to the gods and the Light...... Finished.
It is finished, it is the failure of the Holy Light, the Holy Light is healing, but the Holy Light cannot resist corrosion, it cannot resist corrosion, that is, the power of death is more powerful, and one step forward is that there is no hope for mankind, and the end of the world has come. This will bring a devastating blow to the people at the bottom, who are already worried and destitute.
And the armies of the South did not crush the undead and orcs with great force...... Yes! It's scary.
Looking at this circle of people, the expressions on the faces of each of them were lifeless, and this kind of seriousness showed that everyone had no choice.
"The Scarlet Crusaders must do everything in their power to help remove the corrosion." Father Innigo Montor stressed again.
But as a consultant, Ms. Marlan's face was like water, and there was not a trace of wave on her face.
As I said just now, after the quarrel, the leaders of the Scarlet Crusaders did not attach the same importance to this matter, and Saidan Dasohan, one of the five holy knights of the Silver Hand, was very unimpressed by this situation. He insisted on his belief that the power of the Holy Land of the Chapel of Light's Wish could hold back the corrosive force on its own.
His claim was not unreasonable, as the chasm did spread more slowly after reaching the vicinity of the Chapel of Light's Wish. But slowing down doesn't mean that it doesn't spread, and it's still not reassuring.
As the Grand Crusader, Saidan has spoken, and everyone's voices have basically been set in the tone, and there are not so many voices that continue to demand investigation and healing, and Gavin Rad, one of the living paladins, is in Hillsbrad who is dragged down by the war and can't take time to care about other things.
And after arguing for a long time, although Lord Maxwell Tairosos was from the perspective of protecting the Holy Land and preserving the faith, I realized from their conversation that he actually had another purpose...... It's brushing up on the sense of presence.
I noticed that this guy was a little different from the last time I saw him, he suddenly talked a little more, and he didn't open his mouth to talk nonsense, but I had the impression that this guy's words were much denser than before.
He repeatedly emphasized the matter of manpower, the threat of the undead, the problem of resuming work and production, and the unshaking of the Templar, and I found that the organization he presided over and established called the Silver Dawn was one of the many resistance groups in this land, the Scarlet Crusaders were the largest and strongest religious armed forces, and the Silver Dawn could not even reach one-twentieth of the Scarlet Crusaders.
Lack of people, no strength means that there is no right to speak in many things, there is no right to speak, what you get, you will get less benefits, even the territory will be very small, and it is definitely not a good place.
The Scarlet Crusaders can allow him, Lord Terosos with these hundreds of people to occupy such an important place, I feel that the Scarlet Crusaders have two reasons, one is that Maxville Terosos is not nothing in the Orc War, and he is also a person who has made great achievements, of course, it is categorically incomparable with those leaders, but it is also somewhat face-saving.
The second reason is that he is also a nobleman, and his identity is here, although the Duke of Andohal lost the protection of the lord because of the disappearance of the city, but he is still a baron. What's more, Lord Nicholas Zverenhoff, Duke of Andorhar, is not dead, although he has been seriously injured for so many years and has not recovered, but he is still there! Cultivate here now. Although the Scarlet Crusaders wanted to occupy the place, they did not reach out directly, but sent a few representatives.
The Scarlet Crusaders in Hedong and Hexi are different, the leader of the Scarlet Crusaders in Tyre and Haven is Duke Charles, and General Abydis in Hexi, but now that General Abydis has died in battle, Miss Brigitte Abydis, as the heir, is now able to stabilize the power in Hexi, not to mention that Hexi is still at the forefront of the war against the undead and the Forsaken.
It is said that the building near the water gets the moon first, and the fat on the side of his own mouth, if Duke Charles doesn't worry about it, it is absolutely impossible. And Marlan, a woman who looks like a vase, is here, whether she really has the ability or just to let Silver Dawn know her identity.
There wasn't much going on in Tyrossos last time I came, and now that the Alliance was re-established and the army was in full swing at Hillsbrad, there seemed to be a little bit of something else on the mind.
The purpose of Tairossos standing up at this time seemed to be for this, for that, but he was trying to brush up his presence at this time so that the alliance could see him, after all, the Holy Light's Wish This place is a holy place, a place guarded by their Silver Dawn. And this organization, which claims to be the successor to the mantle of the Silver Hand founded by Master Fao and Uther, not only guards the Holy Land, but also the faith, the original intention of the Silver Hand, and the hope in the hearts of mankind.
And once the Alliance Future defeats the Orcs and the Undead Scourge, then their status must not be what it is now.
That's why he's so active, and he's been emphasizing that the idea of support and expansion coincides with the previous situation.
So...... When someone has something else in mind, the best way to hide one's thoughts is to find a lofty reason, so that even if someone says something, it will be backed up by that great goal, and all those who oppose him will be labeled saboteur and rebel.
And he invited me to join in.
