Chapter 1330 Staggered Betrayal

"Ridiculous!!" said a white-haired duke with a big belly, slapping the table again, "I've never heard of the god of the glacier being the goddess of the forest." What kind of drama are you singing?!" I thought that after agreeing to the conditions, you forest rangers should withdraw your troops and get out, leaving a group of mammoth giants who are orphaned by all ages, and sooner or later they can slowly clean up. They were in the same league as the rangers. In this way, these rangers are not going to leave, and they still ~~~ occupy vast woodlands, which have become their strongholds. Damn! It turned out to be a trick of retreating as advance, first raising prices and then discounting! Lao Tzu only saw discounts, but did not see price increases, and they lost a lot!

"It's a joke. Even his ally, the Duke of Rak City, felt that the shape was not good, and sneered: "I have never heard of the two gods being one from ancient times to the present. But he was forced to ask by the aggressive and rough rangers: "What is it from ancient times to the present? How old have you lived? How many things can you know? Even if you add your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, it is only a few hundred years, and it is only a flick of a finger to the gods! How much can you know?!! don't talk about the sacred, be careful of being punished by the gods!"

Whether God will punish or not, everyone knows. However, these victorious rangers will definitely come to punish them! In the face of these victorious barbarians, all the nobles were a little weak-hearted: "Even if you are one, that harmless power is only available to the mammoth giants." You must not be in turmoil. Be fair. Of course, the forest ranger on the other side did not follow: "We are brothers, just like a family, they can understand guò, why can't we?" So another noisy afternoon was made. When the sun sets, they each curse and scatter unhappily.

When the next morning was about to reconvene the meeting, news came that a village in the northwest had been looted by about 200 Frostborn trolls and servant goblins.

The atmosphere of the meeting became solemn, and the wind began to change during the negotiations, especially the nobles with several smaller territories began to say: "If everyone can live together peacefully, it doesn't matter who comes and goes." It's not that we can't trust you, it's just that the mammoth giants are somewhat at odds with us. It is not easy to deal with it in our territory, and if humans are mixed in it again, it will only cause conflicts between locals and outsiders, which will not be good for everyone. If only the goddess of the forest could be strictly controlled. We can also have peace of mind. Instead, it should be changed to: allow the priests of the goddess of the forest and the believers of good character to be harmless. ”

This kind of remark made the Pelo Church, which had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, vigilant: Oh no! These nobles can worship the sun god or the goddess of the forest, and if the situation is not right, they can turn the limelight and invite people in. But the problem is that this negotiation was nominally between the nobility and the mammoth giants, and the Church of Pero was excluded from the beginning and could not be mixed in.

Then they called out to a few young and vigorous paladins: "With all due respect: the people of the forest goddess are rude, and their habits are not in harmony with the local people. Even if they have good character, it can lead to conflict. In particular, they are lax in their control over the affairs of men and women, and in many places they are unethical. How can you trouble us here again?" and a few of the rough senior rangers on the other side also began to shout, "That's because you are overly conservative and discriminatory against women. We have always advocated free love, don't we live the same life?"

So the people on both sides began to quarrel again, and they did not go to the banquet prepared by the Duke of Lac City at noon. The tug-of-war continued until the next morning, when news came that the remnants of Aulur's bear goblins and troll bandits had appeared in the southeast, and about 300 or so had attacked a town, slaughtering all the people there, leaving only a few of the city's countrymen who were selling food to escape. In the middle of the night, sixty or seventy forest rangers descended from the sky and drove away these murderous bandits. ...,

Remember, it's to run away.

"Hmph! You guys are doing a good show!" Several young paladins finally couldn't help but get angry: "Those bandits must have been instigated by you! Despicable and obscene!" Someone even made sarcastic remarks: "I didn't expect the goddess of the forest to be a two-faced old witch!"

"Shut up!" this time it was the nobles who spoke angrily and rebuked: "We are talking about business, what are you talking about? This is the place where our two clans discuss important matters." You want to negotiate something else with the Church of the Forest Goddess. Negotiate separately by yourself. Don't shout here!" and said to the senior pastor of the Pelo Church, "Please take care of your own people, and don't make a mistake." ”

A few young holy warriors were anxious: under the banner of the mammoth giants, they had introduced the power of the Church of the Forest Goddess, and who couldn't see this trick of secretly crossing Chen Cang? Why didn't they let us say it? But the priests and elders next to them really didn't let them say, "You guys step down! We will talk about the matter with the Church of the Forest Goddess separately." ”

A few angry paladins couldn't hold back as soon as they got outside, and ran to the camp on the east side of the castle to greet their companions. There were thirty or forty well-armed priests and holy warriors: "The goddess of the forest first used a trick, and now she has intimidated the nobles. As soon as they negotiated. We have nothing to talk about! Our faith and our followers have been taught and accepted by them privately! How can these traitors be allowed to succeed?"

Everyone raised their swords and staff angrily and scolded: "They are treacherous, and we are not easy to provoke!" first find an opportunity to surround and annihilate these dozen forest ranger leaders, and then mobilize the masses to expel these barbarians in the barren forest~~~" and then ran to the castle together to mobilize the soldiers guarding the castle: "The Maykelly Church colluded with the Frost Witch to slaughter my people, and now they want to invade us under the banner of suppressing bandits." These immoral fellows want to turn us and our descendants into a race of beasts who do not know how to be honest and honest! If we don't eradicate the traitors and defend the good now, when will we wait?" After some mobilization, many guards and even some mage retainers followed the rebellion, holding swords and sharp spears as dense as a forest and rushing to the outside of the negotiation hall.

The rangers in the hall who heard the movement had already begun to draw their knives: "Lord Duke, what do you mean by this, do you think that your little soldiers have destroyed the Frost Maiden?" More than double the weight of a regular two-handed sword. It is suitable for exerting the power of Rokko Lingwei far beyond ordinary people. And their skin began to harden and condense, giving themselves the supernatural power of ironwood bodies.

This ability originated from the natural magic bark technique, but it was adjusted on a large scale according to the pattern of the iron cloth shirt, and after activation, the protective layer penetrated deep into the muscles and bones, becoming the divine version of the iron cloth shirt. The effect of swords and guns is better than wearing iron armor, but the movement will become slower. However, with the addition of the hard body of the hard rubber that was halved after the transformation of Rokka, it can barely be called a copper-headed iron arm. The holy warriors of the same rank basically can't break the defense.

The Duke and the priests of the Church of Pero hurriedly ran out to suppress the crowd, and after the Duke reprimanded the guards and dispersed, the two priests also took the paladins with them. The camp that had been brought back to the outside of the city scolded angrily: "What are you yelling about? This time they are all middle and high-level forest rangers, and they have practiced strange skills, so you can kill them with just a few of you?!" Not to mention a few of them, even if you add up the territory of more than a dozen big nobles in this area. There are only 3 high-level priests and four high-level holy warriors, and they are completely beyond their power to deal with one or two hundred masters of the Venerable Master's family!

Although everyone knew that it was powerful, they were still unconvinced: "This is really driving away the evil wolf and attracting the tiger." Do you just let them come unchecked?" the old priest was silent for a while: "In the past, the wolf who did not follow the rules is now a tiger who talks about some rules. For the sake of the peace and tranquility of the people, let's just bear with it. As long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary. ”...,

The crowd was still unconvinced: "They are so reckless now, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do anything out of the ordinary in the future!" Seeing the old priest's face sank: "Of course I will kill their prestige." They are sloppy, and we are not stupid. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After two days of tug-of-war negotiations, the matter of the mammoth occupying the forest and the guerrilla remnants was finally negotiated in the snowy winter. More than a dozen large nobles, including the king of a small country, although the face was not very good. But he still attended the celebratory banquet held by the Grand Duke of Lac City. I've long been tired of eating roast chicken, roast goose, deer liver and walnut juice, but ~~~ The rice wine, honey wine, and green fruit wine brought by the rangers are not bad.

Locally, the church prohibits alcohol, even low-alcohol beer, turbid wine, etc., because it is a matter of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and everyone should make an appearance. But this time it was a banquet for the mammoth giants, and the wine brought by them could be tasted by the way. Once tasted, it tastes good. It's just that the degree is very low, and it's probably like beer. Ask them if they have any spirits, and they will be told: Those who practice Rokko Lingwen. Do not drink strong alcohol, only low alcohol, and not in excess. However, you can smoke a special hookah, which has the special effect of invigorating the mind and relaxing the mind, and sometimes it can also be used as an aid when practicing Jinggong Qi. There are also some interesting things on display - a beautiful bronze incense burner with a hollow carving. The floral scent is particularly charming, including chic gold and silver bracelets made of earth and natural gemstones, which are set with rustic and extravagant conspicuous figures, and intricate wargame of Warcraft. There are many kinds of chessboards, each marked with different natural environments, and it is quite interesting for the opposing sides to choose from magic beasts such as flying dragons, giant centipedes, four-armed apes, shadow spiders, and ferocious sharks, and there are several female rangers performing stepping drums, etc. Well, their figures are very good~~~

As they went, the whole banquet hall became a noisy bazaar, and the rangers got out cockfights and so on, and then several nobles gathered around and began to gamble for money—gambling was a vice, and the church strictly forbade gambling of any kind. There was also a half-drunk ranger who said to the king of the small country, who was also half-drunk, "What is cockfighting? Two strong bulls fight each other, it's much more exciting than this! There is a chance to get a few to come over and open everyone's eyes. ”
