Chapter 110, Maxi Caravan
The headless corpse staggered from his horse like a drunken man, and Herman returned to his horse, without saying a word, and rushed towards the circle of the Vortex Knights with his sword in hand, like a wolf into a flock of sheep.
On the battlefield, no one expected that the reinforcements who came over alone could kill three masters in less than half a minute, and both the enemy and us were stunned for a while.
Especially the Vortex Knights of the Guardian Order, they had fought with those three many times, and almost all of the battle dead died at the hands of these three Source Knights, and the image of these people as strong men had been ingrained in their hearts.
But I didn't expect it to be shattered in an instant today.
Wood was the first to react, shouting, "Brothers, it's time to counterattack, kill them all!" β
Although the number of Vortex Knights on the other side was twice as large as them, Wood and the others were like being injected with a shot in the arm, and they turned into an attack and charged in the direction of Herman.
Herman also rode his horse to join the remaining five.
These people were all wounded, the sword holes in the armor were densely packed, and the knight's sword was also cut to the edge, and they were all panting and crumbling, Herman shouted: "Can you continue to fight?" β
Wood's big eyes were shining, and he replied loudly, "Yes! β
"Then follow me."
After saying that, he rushed out first. Wood and the other knights took a deep breath, tightened the reins, and slammed their legs into the horse's belly, and rushed over.
Herman, who was at the edge of the arrow, was the first to break up the opponent's formation, followed by Wood and others to make a death attack on the lone man.
Once the cavalry is left alone, it is still in this narrow terrain that cannot escape, and it is destined to be bled by a knife.
Herman deliberately showed the knights of the Guardian Order the tactics of the cavalry, so he did not use personal force, but led the team through the formation of the opposing cavalry again and again like sharp knives.
Charge, U-turn, charge again.
Each charge did not cause much casualties, but the blunt knife cut the flesh the most, and after five or six charges, there were only six or seven knights left in the Children of Light Sect, and they fled the battlefield in rout.
Wood was going to lead someone to chase him, but Herman said, "You guys are out of shape, and if you chase it again, something will happen." Go help the warbands over there. He was referring to ordinary soldiers.
After speaking, he urged the war horse to chase after him.
The others are out of shape, but he's in good shape.
He won't do anything about letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
Seeing this, the holy brother Gorey, who was still entangled with Bazaar, scolded: "Heresy, you dare! β
Basha's fighting spirit in his hand was like a plain silk match, and he hit the opponent's crystallized armor fiercely, and sneered: "What's the hurry, play with me!" β
These words were what Goray had said to her before, and now Basha did not change a word and returned the full amount, which suddenly made the middle-aged knight feel an unprecedented insult.
But Gray is only a junior earth knight, even if Basha doesn't condense the origin spirit object, he doesn't know many fighting skills, but it is still more than enough to hold him back.
The Holy Brother of the Child of Light could only watch as the mysterious knight slaughtered his own team.
A few minutes later, seeing the last of the Spiral Knight beheaded from his horse, GorΓ© fled to the side of the mountain, even ignoring the barracks on the mountainside.
Basha didn't stop her, after all, she didn't think she could kill the other party.
On the other side, Alice was a little stunned, she was going to make a move, but she didn't expect Herman to change the tide of the battle immediately after joining, which surprised everyone.
Hilda praised from the bottom of her heart: "The Son of God is mighty! β
"The Son of God is mighty!"
The rest of the men happily chimed in, after all, it was one of the few battles they had won since the beginning of the war and could be called a great victory.
Alice didn't have the slightest joy in her heart, Herman was strong, but they couldn't expect him to come to the rescue every time, and this Shenchi Lingwei could not contain much power, if they met a real strong, they would only be slaughtered.
After all, the Holy Fire Cult is too weak.
Alice sighed secretly and decided to follow Herman's advice to train well in the winter.
Without the support of the knights, the battlefield was soon one-sided, and the enemy soldiers in ragged clothes and thin bodies lost the slightest fighting spirit after seeing Herman turn their horses back, and threw away their weapons and surrendered.
Exhausted, the Wood men were still holding on, and Herman said, "Now that the battle is over, you can go down and restβyou, very good, will soon be real warriors." β
Before they fell unconscious, Wood gritted his teeth and asked, "My lord, can you tell your subordinates your name?" β
Herman did not answer him, but ordered the soldiers to carry the unconscious knight back to rest.
"Your Excellency!" In the end, Wood didn't get an answer from Herman, and his eyes went black, and he also fell down.
But when he was about to land, he was held by a hand, which was wearing gloves.
The Holy Flame began to clean up the battlefield, and Basha followed Herman back to the barracks.
The people began to take proceedings.
At this time, I saw a middle-aged man who was neatly dressed and rarely wore silk clothes broke in from outside, and complimented Alice: "The holy woman really deserves to be the favor of God, and there are even divine soldiers who have descended from the sky, and as soon as they come, they have helped your sect fight a great victory." β
Although he was complimenting Alice, his eyes fell on Herman behind him.
What Herman didn't expect was that he actually had the fighting spirit level of a high-level source knight, and his physical qi and blood were not weak, obviously, he was a strong man.
It's just that he is definitely not a master recruited by the Holy Fire Sect, because he has not just participated in the war.
It's just that he was able to enter the tent directly, and it was obvious that he had a lot to do with the Holy Fire Cult.
Alice was not familiar with this person, but she was very polite: "Your Excellency Maxi said with a smile, this battle is all thanks to the desperate killing of the enemy, and it has nothing to do with me. β
The middle-aged knight named Maxi smiled, he was watching the battle on the edge of the battlefield, of course he knew the real factors of victory in the battlefield battle, his eyes stayed on Herman behind her, but he didn't expect him to be surprised by the light leaking from the hole in his clothes, but praised it: "This is your sect's Shenchi Lingwei, tsk, with such a divine soldier, you should take advantage of the victory to pursue it." Counterattacking in one fell swoop and regaining the lost territory is not considered to be a violation of the oracle of the Lord of the Holy Fire. β
"Your Excellency actually knows about Shenchi Lingwei?" Alice was surprised.
Maxi smiled slightly and said humbly: "After all, I am a businessman, and I have seen a lot of knowledge when I go south and north, and I will know it." β
The two of you went back and forth and began to test each other's identities.
Herman's eyes froze, and he immediately contacted the maid and asked, "Bazaar, who is this person?" β
Basha couldn't use her spiritual power, but fortunately, her soul fragment was in Herman's spiritual sea, and she immediately responded through the fragment: "Back to the master, this person's name is Maxi, who claims to be a merchant from a trading house, and suddenly appeared near the battlefield more than ten days ago, saying that he wanted to teach me to do business. β
"Doing business?"
Herman was puzzled, "Then how did he get to the meeting?" β
Basha replied: "Because we fought unfavorably before, and when we were about to be defeated, the other party offered to accept the hire, in order to save the situation, Hilda and I chose to take a risk, relying on him and his guards, and then the rout was stopped, plus Maxi is very understanding in tactics, and we sometimes want him to help with ideas, so we acquiesced to his involvement." β
"Then why didn't you hire them just now?" Herman wondered.
Basha replied, "Because the Holy Maiden has come, there is no need for them." Coupled with the fact that they cost a thousand C-grade power stones every time they make a shot, we can't afford it. β
It is not too expensive to exchange a thousand C-level energy stones for a group of powerful knights, but the Holy Fire Sect is now eating its old book, and it is obvious that it has to be careful with its calculations.
Herman wondered, "Alice? What can she do? β
The corner of Basha's mouth smiled slightly, and said, "Master, don't you know?" The Holy Maiden is the only one who is not bound by the forbidden magic rules of the Forsaken Lands, and she is now a secondary spirit envoy who is more powerful than ordinary talents, unless the other party's Pope and Holy Brother appear at the same time, the Holy Lady will be in control of the battle. Even if you don't make a move today, the outcome won't change much. β
Herman was amazed that the little girl in front of her, who was still very jerky with her back to him, was already so powerful?
He was well aware of the gold content of the only wizard who was not affected by forbidden magic.
"And what about Maxi, what deal did they want to do in the first place?" Herman asked again.
Basha said: "Like other forces, they are all weapons, medicine and food. They accept gold coins as well as barter, and of course, power stones are the first currency. β
Herman thought for a moment and said, "What does the Holy Fire Sect lack now, and what is the financial situation?" β
Bazaar shook her head slightly: "The situation is very bad, now the number of believers in the Holy Fire Sect is increasing day by day, the stock of grain I brought last year has been exhausted, and there are not many new wheat planted this year, even if it is all harvested, many people will starve to death, so we currently have a very urgent need to trade with Maxi, but I don't know what price the other party will offer...... As for finances, you should know that the Holy Fire Cult has no finances at all. β
After being silent for a while, Basha continued, "At the beginning, I brought 150,000 C-grade energy stones, but fortunately, there are not many Holy Fire Sect knights, and so far I have only consumed more than 20,000. A portion of the purchase of supplies can be set aside. β
More than half of them were consumed by Bazaar, the Earth Knight, and the rest consumed very little.
With the current situation of the Holy Fire Sect, it will only take a long time to cultivate the Origin Knights, and these energy stones are enough to support five or six years, so Basha only thought about transferring some energy stones to tide over the difficulties.
Herman glanced at Maxi and the others who were talking eloquently, and said: "The floating wealth is eye-catching, and their origin is unknown, don't reveal the matter of exchanging energy stones for materials for the time being, let's see if they have anything else that interests them, it's really not good." β
Basha quickly understood what her master meant, and replied, "I will convey your meaning to Hilda." "She's in charge of logistics, and it's been her reception Maxi these days.
Herman was about to explain a few words, but suddenly found that Alice's back was already soaked, and his body couldn't stop trembling slightly, and he realized that it was just too much to consume, and this unbearable situation appeared less than twenty minutes after he arrived.
Herman immediately sent a message to Bazaar and asked her to take care of Alice, and ended the summoning directly.
Ding.
The sound of the sword falling suddenly sounded, along with a pile of tattered clothes on the ground.
Miko left.
Everyone bowed their heads to the clothes in silence, and Bazaar, who was standing next to Alice, quietly stopped the little girl's waist, only to find that her back was completely soaked, and now she was struggling to hold on.
"Alright."
She spoke immediately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the deliberations are over, we will go our separate ways, and I have other important matters to discuss with the Holy Maiden."
Hilda and the others looked at Alice and saw that she nodded slightly, so they retreated.
Alice and the others all left, and then suddenly collapsed into Bazaar's arms, and sweat soon appeared on her forehead.
"Thank you, Captain Bazaar." Alice said softly.
Basha hugged this little girl who was the same age as her brother, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, sighed and said: "It's okay, the holy woman has a good rest, everything is with me." β
Alice then fell into a deep sleep.
Maxi returned to the camp, and his henchmen immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, is that little girl really a secondary spirit envoy, and is the knight who just emerged really a spirit guard of the divine pool?" β
Having just hidden on the edge of the battlefield, the group witnessed Herman killing the three without fear of the sword, not at all like humans, so Maxi hurried over after the battle was over.
To Maxi's particular surprise, the knight's unscathed appearance after being stabbed with his sword skills was indistinguishable from the Shenchi Lingwei he had been lucky enough to see, which made him take a keen interest in this nascent sect.
Because he knew very well that it was very difficult for a sect to cultivate a secondary spirit envoy who could give birth to the Divine Pond Spirit Guard, not only did it need a sacrificial weapon to collect the power of believers' faith, but it also had to have a sufficiently pious faith wizard to bear the weight of the Faith Divine Pool. Even those great sects in the depths of the Forsaken Lands would take decades and nearly a hundred years to cultivate one.
"Unless ......"
Maxi couldn't help but think of a possibility.
"It's indeed Shenchi Lingwei, it's just ......," he thought of what Hilda and the others had just done, and felt a little strange.
The henchman servant asked, "Just what?" β
It should be a tribute to that holy woman, Maxi guessed, after all, in this abandoned land, the secondary spirit envoy who can summon the spirit guard of the divine pool can be called sacred, and he said casually: "It's okay, this holy woman has been promoted to the second spirit envoy." After a pause, he asked again, "Did you say before that this sect has only been around for a little more than a year?" β
The confidant replied: "Yes master, this sect was founded around September last year, and according to the legend that has been circulated in their hinterland, the believer of the one they serve has come down in person, performed miracles, and said, 'Whoever believes, there must be an answer', and the core members of the sect are basically the natives of the original mill village that have been renamed the Holy Capital. β
"Really? What about the Earth Knight named Bazaar? She obviously has the fighting spirit level of a peak-level earth knight, but she has not even condensed the power of the origin, she is obviously a major in spiritual power, and no wizard can be promoted successfully in this kind of place. Marx mused.
The henchman shook his head and pleaded, "I'm sorry master, our spies also discovered this sect just now, and they can't find out more detailed information for the time being." β
Maxi waved his hand and suddenly smiled: "Hehe, it seems that this sect is more mysterious than I imagined, it can cultivate secondary spirit envoys in such a short period of time, and the one they serve is obviously not those who have just begun to ascend to the gods......"
The confidant servant asked, "Master, should we inform the sects in the central part of the country and attract them to come and suppress this secondary spirit envoy?" In this way, those righteous spirit envoys will not have time to make trouble inside. β
Maxi smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "No, we will block the news and not let them know." Hehe, a secondary spirit envoy can't relieve the internal pressure, and when this holy woman dominates the periphery and is promoted to a positive spirit envoy, then they can be anxious. β
"Is it possible to dominate the periphery?" The henchman servant wondered.
"Didn't you also see the weapons and equipment of the Tempest Knights on their bodies, those armor and swords are brand new, as if they were sent as soon as they were baked, if it weren't for the approval of the wizards behind the Knights, no one would have been able to break through the defenses of that magic fortress and seize these equipment. It is very likely that they have reached some kind of cooperation with the Night Feather Wizards, and the potential is naturally much greater than that of other sects. Besides......" Maxi smiled faintly and said confidently, "Even if there is no wizarding society behind the Holy Fire Cult, as long as we take action, nothing is impossible." β
Since this holy woman was able to become a secondary spirit envoy on the periphery, it was naturally worth his investment.
