Hao Ren now really regrets why he didn't insist on naming the mercenary group at the beginning, and now he thinks that even if he names his team Pink Hairy Rabbit, it is better than the current name, and when Gerton said the words "A good name makes the dog a dog" seriously, everyone at the scene was gray, but Lily could still be elated, and she also took the initiative to jump out and introduce herself: "Yes, yes, yes, I am the deputy head of the mercenary group......"
Hao Ren decided to really let her be the deputy head of the regiment in the future, Although I really don't have such a position in my team......
Gerton mainly inquired in detail about the origin of the mercenary team in front of him and the process of rescuing the four dervishes in the first place, firstly, to understand the information, and secondly, to check whether the whole thing was true.He did not hide anything about this investigation, and as the rector of the place, it was normal for him to be cautious in this matter.However, Hao Ren had already arranged the whole thing back and forth with the bearded man several times, of course, it was exactly what he said."
Then I don't have any doubts, a few of you have a lot of credit for this trip," Gerton exhaled after a detailed inquiry, the wrinkles on his face relaxed, and he finally glanced at Hao Ren curiously, "But I wonder why you didn't come directly to Layton Town, but ran to the edge of the holy lake, so that it would be more troublesome to escort the orb back to town?"
I heard that you were teleported from space, and there was a problem with the landing point?
”Hao Ren looked serious: "Without him, only his hands are slippery." ”Vivien tapped him next to him and helped explain, "We weren't very familiar with the terrain around the Blood Lake, and Leighton Town had a lot of magical powers, so we chose an open space to teleport in.However, we didn't expect that Golem had infiltrated the area around the Blood Lake, and we thought that we would only need to deal with the monsters in the twisted woodland. ”Gerton nodded solemnly: "That's it......
That makes sense.Thankfully, nothing happened to you. ”The bearded man asked at this time: "I know that the defense line here has been broken through once, but why haven't you purified all the monsters that broke in now?"
”Gerton glanced at Hao Ren and the others, but considering that these things were no longer secrets, and the person in front of him was also a witness and participant in the whole thing, he did not hide it: "Now we only block the gap here in Layton Town, and the monsters have other ways to bypass our defense...... " Then the old rector explained the situation roughly, and he said it more accurately and more accurately than the previous knight captain: "......
There has been nothing wrong with each other before, although there are monsters splitting from the mountains from time to time, but there are not many of them, and the path of progress is very simple, so it is not troublesome to solve, we set up fortifications on the main official roads, and after mastering the weaknesses of those monsters, we easily blocked them.Then I began to study ancient books about ancient magical civilizations, trying to find out why the Dragonspine Mountains split into these giants, and I was ready to continue to stalemate with the monsters until the research progressed, but the research did not progress......
More than half a month ago, there was a major collapse on the main peak of the Dragonspine Mountain Range, and soon after that, the news of a strong attack came from the northern defense line, and the main force here went to support as usual, but soon after, the front of the defense line was attacked by a large group of monsters......
That was the first time that those stone monsters had shown planned action, and there were several times more than before......"
Gerton paused, and continued: "After the defense line here in Leighton was breached, the southern part of the mountain also collapsed, and this collapse was even more bizarre: the whole mountain changed form like a living thing in the collapse, twisted and extended a path, this new mountain directly crossed the ridge of the defense line and penetrated into the twisted woodland, and now the monsters that infested around the sacred lake basically invaded from that evil mountain road.If you go south, you can easily see it: a new mountain stretching out of the Dragon's Back Mountains, right over our defensive line. ”Gerton told Hao Ren these things in detail and easily, and it seemed that he had no pretension with the recess, because he knew that the four ascetics in front of him would sooner or later return to the royal capital to report the current situation to the pope, so he simply took advantage of the situation to explain the situation a little now."
Mountains change shape on their own?"
The bearded man looked serious, "This is not a good sign......
Can't you stop it?
”Gerton closed his eyes slightly: "Manpower is limited, it is difficult to shake nature - although I don't want to admit it, but the power left by those evil magic emperors in ancient times is beyond our comprehension to this day, that mountain road is indestructible, full of miasma, and will even suddenly collapse to prevent outsiders from approaching, the knights have suffered heavy losses there, and the Magister reinforcements sent by the kingdom have no way to take it."
Now we can only keep the situation afloat by constantly clearing out monsters in the Twisted Woodlands, the former by the Knights of the Church, and the latter by Marshal Oprah's Knights of the Kingdom, or by blocking the Dragon's Back Mountains. ”Hao Ren listened silently on the surface, but in his heart began to think about how to explore the secrets of the Dragon's Back Mountains, which were becoming more and more strange, and he believed that the mountains must be hiding the secrets of the Magic Empire more than 10,000 years ago—and this secret might help him decipher the aliens on Earth, and even the ultimate answer to the Dream Plane itself.His first priority now is to prevent the Dream Plane from continuing to merge with the Surface World, so all the slightest clues related to it cannot be missed.And when he was discussing with the data terminal whether it was time to apply for a miniature observation satellite, the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful woman with a heroic posture broke in: "Your Excellency, I heard that the Templar Orb......
Well?
”Hao Ren looked back and found that the person who came was a female soldier in women's close-fitting armor with long maroon curly hair, heroic and majestic, it was none other than Marshal Ofrah, the legendary heroine of the Kingdom of Holletta, a magical figure who had guarded this country for hundreds of years.As soon as the female marshal entered the room, the first one to jump up was Becky, and the mercenary girl's eyes were stunned, and her jaw trembled when she spoke: "Ao......
Lady Oprah is here!!
Yuan......
Hello Marshal, Marshal, you have a long life, Your Excellency Marshal, you are auspicious......
I......
I'm Becky, do you remember me?
I......
I'll look for the temple orb......"
Hao Ren was really tired of this girl, and reached out to press Betsy down: "Your Excellency Marshal, I am ......
Captain of the Mercenary Regiment, we have returned the orb safely. ”Ovra looked at the group of people in front of her with some surprise, because of the presence of a jumping Becky, she was deeply impressed by these people, and at this time she had already remembered the previous fate: "It turned out to be you......
I heard the news outside the town, and I didn't expect the treasure hero to be your newly created mercenary squad.Very well done. ”Betsy immediately tugged at Hao Ren's arm with a dizzy look: "Hehe......
Hey, hey, didn't Marshal Ophra praise me just now......"
Vivien pressed her hand to her head, remembering something that she couldn't bear to recall: "God, it's really hard to communicate with brainless fans...... " Ophra quickly stopped paying attention to these strange and unreliable mercenaries, and she greeted the four ascetics one by one: "Four masters, long time no see, I'm glad to see that you are still healthy."
Is the orb on you?
”Ophora looked like a resolute person, and when she opened her mouth, she asked directly about the orb, and the bearded man nodded: "Here I am."
However, we have not yet decided what to do next.According to the rules, the orb should be stored in the Holy Lake Church after its return, but it seems that it is not safe there now. ”"It can be stored here," Gerton said beside him, "This is the closest sanctuary to the Holy Land, the current situation is special, it is also in line with the doctrine to store the orb here, we can ...... after dealing with the monsters" "May I say a few words," Ophra found a random place to sit down, and looked at Gerton majestically, "Your Excellency, I don't distrust your knowledge, but you should still not be able to find the reason for the division of the mountains in the short term, in this case, it is really inappropriate for the orb to be placed in the Beinz area, I suggest that the elites of the Kingdom Knights and the Church Knights escort the orb to the royal church, which can also stabilize people's hearts - the recent news of the war in the Beinz region has been frequent in the royal capital, and those who are pampered are already panicking. ”Gerton didn't say anything, and Ophra waited for a while with an impatient expression: "Also, Your Excellency the Rectend, I once again suggest that my Kingdom Knights 'help you' clean up the area around the Holy Lake?"
Half a month has passed, and those stone monsters are still wandering in the Holy Land, and I can tell that the warriors of the Church Knights are quite tired and need to rest, while I am only circling the mountains with several reinforcements from the interior of the kingdom - my side is already overarmed.This is not the time to save face, and the warriors of the Knights of the Kingdom are also devotees of the goddess, and although they do not have a seal, they can also fight in the Holy Land, which is in line with the teachings. ”Gerton stood up tremblingly: "It's not a matter of face, Your Excellency Marshal.But I really should seriously consider your proposal.Before that......
Let's let these guests come from afar to take a break.Masters, please wait a moment, Lord Aufra and I have some things to ask. ”Hao Ren knew in his heart: it seemed that the next thing to be discussed was not something that "outsiders" like himself could listen to.
