Organize an army...... Carrie's proposal was simply unrealistic. How is he going to organize an army? Recruit soldiers? Not to mention the practical problems of funding, training, and supplies, the mere fact of recruiting troops and horses in other people's territory without permission will probably directly attract the lord's crusade army.

"Carrie, what do you mean...... Let me organize a ...... The Undead Legion?"

"No, master. This is the enemy's control range, and as long as you use large-scale black magic, you will definitely be discovered by them. Before you're able to control enough of the undead, they'll come to your door...... Once you're locked, you're done. And it's hard to organize a sufficient number of undead legions on your own. ”

"And what am I going to do to organize an army!?" Ashrufat was a little mad. Is the army so well organized? He is not a big lord, let alone a king, and he can directly arm an army. Not to mention that this army would have to be large enough to capture a well-defended city like Oron.

"According to my calculations, your best plan is to go to the mountains of the north and organize a green-skinned army. You can use your armor's shapeshifting abilities to disguise as a greenskin...... This option is optimal, and you have a 21% chance of success. ”

"Organize an army of greenskins?" Ashrufat immediately threw away the whimsical plan. He settled down and began to think about it seriously. If he had known such a result, he would not have entered this city if he was killed! But regret is useless, and Ashrufat is not the type to complain.

A patrol of soldiers entered the square from the side street. Since there was only one man and one horse here, the eyes of the patrol were immediately focused on him. However, from the outside, it was just an outsider carefully inspecting the statue of the relic, and although the patrol noticed him, they did not take any action, and just followed the original route.

"Master, we have to leave first. Carrie whispered. The offer was accepted immediately, because on the one hand it was a bad feeling to be watched vigilantly by a group of people, and on the other hand, the sun was indeed scorching.

"Carrie, you said you could destroy this artifact as soon as you came to it?" Ashruphat thought of it as he walked along.

"Master, it takes time. It takes at least an hour to adjust it to an irreversible state. And there is no doubt that they will definitely arrange strong guards. ”

"Who do you mean by 'they'? is that what you said earlier...... The guy who killed Qin Xin? Now I should know who they are. ”

In her mind, Carrie was silent for a moment. "Yes, master, you should know who they are. Carrie replied. "In human terms, they are the gods of the astral field. They are the real behind-the-scenes forces behind the Church of the True God, and they are also the instigators behind the murder of Lord Kotoshin. I warn you that they are very formidable enemies, and they have the strength and knowledge to be worthy of Kotoshin-sama, and it would be extremely unwise to confront them head-on. ”

Shen, Qinxin, and Ashruphat were stunned for a moment. What kind of nonsense? He remembered the last time he sent an envoy to the sacred mountain of the god of nature, wasn't the god like that?

"They are real flesh and blood...... Just like you, just like Kotoshin-sama. It's just that because they have power and knowledge far beyond the level of mortals in this world, they call themselves gods. ”

Ashrufat suddenly felt a strong feeling of dizziness, and his eyes were foggy. A strange image instantly conjured up in his mind, an old man with gray hair, dressed in rudimentary leather armor, with a spear and a chain tied around his waist, smiling at him, his smile full of weariness and exhaustion...... The next moment, he felt a strong tingling in his head, and the image disappeared.

This is just now...... Ashruphat immediately realized that this was his memory before he met Kotoshin. Carrie said that Qin Xin erased his memory, but obviously not completely, and he occasionally remembered some unknown images, sometimes because he saw something, but more often it was just a word that someone else didn't want to say, but he didn't know what these pictures meant.

No! I don't have that kind of time now! Ashrufat banished what he had just done from his mind. "Carrie, if we sneak in and quietly kill the guards, can we just destroy this thing?"

"Theoretically possible. But master, the risk is high, and it is impossible to confirm what kind of guards the enemy will arrange, so I advise you not to do this. ”

"It's better than what you suggested...... War ......" Ashrufat snorted inwardly. He didn't know what he was talking about, but he remembered a sentence from Thomas's diary: "Use all your compassion to stop the war, and never bring it to war." ”

"Okay, let's try it in the evening. Ashruphat suddenly wanted to lament. He began to understand the meaning of the so-called philosophical saying "When you are unlucky, you will stuff your teeth with cold water". This is a good analogy for his current situation.

Ashrufat left the square and walked into the first inn he encountered. Ma Tong came to lead his horse, but he only asked Ma Tong to lead the way to the stable.

"My horse is very violent, be careful not to touch it, it will bite anyone who approaches. Before he left, he admonished Ma Tong. His advice was effective, because the boy was careful even when he put material into the manger. For one night, no one should notice the abnormality of this horse.

Mimilu had already sneaked off the horse. When Ashrufat walked into his room, he was not surprised to see that Mimilu was already waiting for him here.

"Mimilu, are you hungry?" he asked. However, this question is a bit redundant, because Mimilu's expression has already given the answer.

"Wait a minute, I've got them to bring food. This time I asked for two roast chickens and a melon. ”

"She must have discovered the secret of your Nightmare Pony. Carrie snapped. "Master, you should test it. ”

"Tempting what!" replied Ashrufat, somewhat depressed. "Anyway, according to what you said, I will die in the temple tonight, and it doesn't matter what she knows at all. ”

"Master......" This time it was Mimilu who spoke. "You're always ...... In a daze, what's on your mind?"

"No, no. Ashrufat did his best to put a smile on his face—he did look like he was in a daze when he spoke to Carrie. But Mimilu has a very strong ability to observe, and Ashrufat's disguise has not yet reached home, so every detail of his expression falls into the eyes of the other party. The doubts on Mimilu's face not only did not decrease, but greatly increased. She had seen that Ashrufat was hiding some secrets from her.

Fortunately, the innkeeper came in and brought them roast chicken and melons, sweating profusely. The cooking technique of this chicken is very good, and when the guy goes out, Mimilu immediately jumps on the table and gnaws on the chicken. Compared to Mimilu, Ashrufat had eaten almost nothing, and in fact, the few bites he ate were just pretending. It must be said that his sense of taste has hardly changed, he can still taste the freshness of the chicken and distinguish the types of spices, but this food does not stimulate his appetite at all.

Blood! You should drink some blood! Enjoy the thrill of the vitality surge...... The thought suddenly occurred to Ashrufat, and then his reason forcibly suppressed it.

The two roast chickens quickly got into Mimilu's stomach (to be honest, Ashrufat could barely tell that Mimilu was so good at eating), and she began to enjoy the melons again. Ashrufat also took a symbolic bite of the melon, and again, he could remember the taste, but his body had no interest in the food at all.

"Have you eaten enough, rest in the room for a while, I'm going to go out for a while." Ashrufat looked out the window. The sun was still high in the sky, and it was still a few hours before it got dark. This is a good time to look at the exterior of the Great Temple and check how the guards are doing their rounds. He stood up and tried to leave the room.

"Master!" Mimilu suddenly grabbed Ashrufat from behind and stopped him from leaving.

"Mimilu, very, very trusting master!" Mimilu jumped in front of Ashrufat and looked up at Ashrufat's face. "So the master should also trust Mimilu very, very much!

"Of course not......," Ashrufat replied with a smile, and then he found himself unable to meet Mimilu's gaze. "I'm going to sneak into the Grand Temple at night. He avoided Mimilu's gaze and whispered. "Very dangerous. I don't know what's there. ”

"So why doesn't the master tell Mimilu?

Ashruphat looked at Mimilu's serious face, and suddenly a strong urge swelled up.

"Mimilu...... I'm not a knight anymore. He ran his hand over Mimilu's head, rubbing it back and forth behind her ear. "And, I'm not human, I'm actually a vampire, you know?"

"But, I've known this for a long time!" Mimilu replied seriously. "In fact, when I was in the tribe, I already knew that the master of the Dao was not a human. All the elders knew the truth. Because the aura on your body that day is the exact opposite of the forest. ”

"Ah......h

However, even though they knew this, the elders still gave Mimilu to their master. Mimilu knows that the owner of the road is a very good person, so no matter what the owner is, Mimilu will always support the master. Mimilu looked at Ashruphat with a determined gaze. "So the owner shouldn't hide Mimilu. If the master wants to go to the main temple, Mimilu should go with her! If she can, Mimilu can go in place of the master. ”

"I'm not just going to take a look, I'm going to do something important...... Very dangerous thing. And that's something that only I can do. Ashrufat replied. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Mimilu's words made him feel a burst of warmth in his chest. Maybe he shouldn't be so wary.

"Mimilu is going too, Mimilu will definitely be able to help. Mimilu said resolutely.

"Master, take her there. Her talent is just right for this, and at least it can help us look at the wind. In her mind's eye, Carrie suggested. "And you don't need to worry, even if something happens, she should be able to escape safely. ”

"Mimilu, I can take you along. But you have to promise me in case something happens...... You have to make sure that you can escape safely. As for me, you don't have to worry, even if something goes bad, I can use my sword to kill me. ”
