On a densely forested path on the northern border of the kingdom of Ustan a simple black carriage galloping north.
The driver was a man wrapped in a black shabby robe with a hood on his head, wrapped tightly so tightly that he or she could not be seen. The only thing that can be seen is that the driver looks very anxious.
It stands to reason that there are no high-risk monsters in this forest, and the beautiful and primeval forest scenery has a unique flavor, but he/she didn't even glance at the forest on either side, just vigorously waved the long whip in his hand, whipping the creature pulling the carriage.
As for the weishenme, it is said to be a creature and not a horse, because it is a strange creature with the head of a lion, the body of a rhinoceros, and two long tails - a twin-tailed lion. This is a kind of monster used on the road for transportation or pulling a car, don't look at it with a lion head, the expression is fierce, in fact, it is a gentle herbivorous monster that will not take the initiative to attack others.
Sight transfer carriage.
In the carriage sat a young priest of the Church of the Lord of Order. The young priest had curly blond hair, and his handsome face was slashed with a youthful youthfulness and a strange maturity that seemed to see through the world. Dressed in oversized black clergy's robes, embroidered on the chest with the emblem of the Church of Titar - a scale with a crown directly above the scale - it represents order and justice.
There is no doubt that this is a priest belonging to the church of Titar, the Lord of Order.
The young priest held a parchment scroll in his hand, and looked out the window at the galloping of the carriage - all sorts of trees, flowers, and plants.
The timid herbivorous beasts weaved swiftly through the woods, making the sound of a rope, while the carnivorous aggressive beasts were either chasing the herbivores or staring silently at the galloping carriage, their eyes revealing hunger and murder, examining possible prey.
The view outside the window did not give the young priest any other expression on his face, but only solemnity.
A voice from outside the carriage interrupted the young priest's musings.
"Master, something is wrong ahead, someone is blocking the lane, do you want to take a detour?" It was a middle-aged male human voice, and the hoarse voice asked the owner of the carriage - this should be the driver of the carriage talking, but there was no panic in his voice that ordinary people should show when they were in danger, and the flat tone made it impossible to hear what he was thinking.
When the young priest heard this, he carefully put away the scroll in his hand, opened the front window of the carriage, and saw an old-fashioned scene.
In the lane in front of the carriage, about four or five hundred meters away from the carriage, two groups of men and horses were facing each other.
On the left was a group of mercenaries, several carriages and a few richly dressed men and women - only relative to the mercenaries, of course - and their minions were protected in a half-circle by the mercenaries. It was clear that a caravan had hired mercenaries to protect the border for business, and the young priest had already seen more than a dozen teams along the way, and it was clear that this pair was the most unlucky.
Weishenme said it was bad luck, well, it's obvious, because on the left is a gang of thieves.
This is not the legendary down-and-out peasants who have been oppressed by the class with dung forks, kitchen knives, wooden sticks, and dressed in tattered beggars, nor are they hired by some big nobleman or simply the royal family to deal with some secretly dirty army or "retired" army that cannot come forward directly.
This Shijie's thieves group is a very formal organization, each thief group is a follower of Ms. Dakol, the goddess of assassination and theft and conspiracy, and belongs to Ms. Dakol's church organization in the world, and the church receives tasks - mainly robbery, massacre, kidnapping, abduction, revenge and other tasks, of course, sometimes it also takes on some war missions, and then issues tasks in the churches of churches all over the mainland; zuihou is taken over and completed by the thieves group registered in the church. Belonging to the semi-ecclesiastical armament.
The priest looked at the confrontation in the carriage, looked around again, shook his head, and said slowly to the coachman who was waiting for orders: "Take a detour." ”
There is nothing to pay special attention to on both sides, although there are various weapons, but the strength does not seem to be particularly outstanding, and it is just ordinary.
Although there are only about two dozen people on the mercenary side, they are all veterans, and it can be seen from their position and the way they hold their weapons that the only drawback is that the profession is too single, most of them are warrior professions - berserkers (warriors with offensive weapons in both hands), shield warriors (with a shield in one hand and an offensive weapon in one hand), and only a few stalkers and hunters.
And the bandit is obviously much more reasonable. The boss is a dragon knight.
Please don't be scared, in fact, this Shijie's dragon knight refers to a knight whose mount is a subspecies dragon or other high-level magical beast, and the pure-blooded dragon is the highest intelligent creature on the road, and will not become the mount of a low-level creature.
A set of knights' full body armor, the weapon is a flail hammer, okay, the leader of the thieves group is a knight, don't complain, four knights, seventeen or eight warriors, stalkers, hunters add up to a dozen people, a warlock - naked and covered with all kinds of bewitching magic runes and strange patterns, a magician - as for which aspect of the main attack is unknown, a beast trainer - followed by a few monsters with fierce expressions. Long-range and short-range, meat shield output, and physical spells are all available, and it's simply a protagonist template team, but it's a pity that there are few good players except for the boss knight.
As a priest of Titar, the god of order and justice, Weishenme did not go up to organize the conflict, not because the young priest was greedy for life and afraid of death or disregarded life.
There are deep reasons for this.
All chaotic factions (whether they are righteous or evil) are Titar's enemies, and all lawful factions (whether righteous and evil neutral) are allies of Titar, which is determined by the priesthood of Titar Bixia.
As the god of justice and order, no matter how you look at it, she is in a hostile relationship with Lady Dakle, the goddess of assassination and theft and conspiracy who belongs to the evil and chaotic camp, so the thieves are enemies.
Looking at the mercenary side, as mercenaries, most of them are lawless guys, don't look at these guys now performing bodyguard tasks, in fact, mercenaries will also take on some other tasks - such as exterminating some displaced people and preventing them from rebelling, or receiving some military tasks to go to the enemy to rob villages and even massacre civilians or prisoners of war, there is no order at all.
The main god of the mercenaries is Elfman, the god of travel and adventure and freedom, who belongs to the chaotic neutral camp and is also a hostile shili.
As for the merchants under the protection of the mercenaries, although the goddess of commerce, Winternemon, is a neutral and orderly deity, the followers of Lady Winternimon clearly do not like to act in a proper manner. The Lord of War, Fanteomir Bixia, said before igniting the divine fire: "Without financiers, there would be no war on Shijie." "Merchants are unscrupulous in their pursuit of profit, so they are also one of the groups that are not favored by Titar Bixia.
There is nothing happier and more enjoyable for enemies and enemies to fight each other for their lives.
The coachman did not speak, but raised the whip in his hand high, and "snapped" once again struck the two-tailed lion, bypassing the "battlefield" in front of him and driving into the woods.
――――――――――――――――
The leader of the bandits sat on the back of his mount, a swift leopard, staring closely at the mercenary on the opposite side while listening to a report from a stalker behind him.
"Boss, just now there was a carriage coming from the south, which stopped more than four hundred meters away from us, and it must have spotted us, and after stopping for a while, it took a detour from the forest. The half-kneeling stalker whispered to the leader.
"What do you think, Ranch, Hollid, Zado?" the leader was silent after hearing his men's report, and turned to the painmancer, magician, and beast tamer standing nearby.
"Boss, there should be a master in that carriage. "It was a sorcerer with a naked upper body who spoke. He had the exotic beauty that almost all warlocks had, "He can observe us from four hundred meters away, and neither I nor Hollid has noticed that he is at least two or three professional level masters above us." ”
"Agreed. "The magician who spoke belonged to the type of man who spoke little, a typical magician. He was dressed in a dark purple robe, with a hood on his head, revealing only his mouth and chin. Contrary to the magician, who can cover everything except his underwear, the magician covers everything except his mouth and chin, and even wears gloves on his hand holding his staff.
"Zado, what do you think. The leader asked the third man, Zado, the animal trainer.
"Ten days ago, the priest of the Church of the Lord of Order died. Zado crouched on the ground, stroking a wolf with a translucent mouth that occasionally protruded some sparks, the Darkfire Wolf, and said something completely irrelevant nonchalantly.
But as soon as the words came out, the expressions on the faces of the other two people changed completely, and the magician could not see the expression in his hood, but his gloved hands trembled.
"Forget it, let's finish the task at hand first. The leader looked at the forest beside him, the expression on his face kept changing, he looked at his subordinates and the mercenary on the opposite side, and said with a dejected sigh.
"And the carriage...?" asked Warlock Rankie, hesitantly.
"We don't have enough men," said the chief, smiling helplessly, "and as for the carriage, leave it to the fellows of the town." ”
Lan Qi looked at the two sides, nodded, recognized the leader's words, faced the mercenaries, chanted the spell, and the surrounding magic began to fluctuate visibly with the naked eye, and the thieves knew that this was a signal to attack, and rushed towards the mercenaries.
For a moment, the sound of all kinds of gold and iron rang out, and then the blasting of magic, the sound of weapons entering the flesh, the roar of wild beasts, the shouts of killing and screaming all intertwined into a beautiful music.
Listening to the sound behind him, the carriage re-entered the driveway and faded away.
――――――――――――
After about half an hour, some voices gradually came from the front of the carriage, and the young priest was attracted to these voices, and gradually, the voices grew louder and louder, and became louder.
Looking at the crowd of people coming and going in front of me - it can't be called a crowd, because there are many intelligent humanoid beings, green-skinned orcs with muscles all over their bodies, slender, well-proportioned dark night elves, tall barbarians, short but strong bearded dwarves, goblins and gnomes who are shorter than dwarves, and even very rare half-giants.
The priest looked at the scene in front of him, slightly distracted.
Another twenty years have passed.
This will be the place where a legend begins, a legend that belongs only to him, Kellius.
On the side of the road stands a wooden sign that is at least 100 years old, with a basic text written on it.
Banki - is the meaning of these words.
