Mercenaries and Adventurers

Crow Knight muttered, and then became more interested.

To be honest, the harpy is quite difficult to deal with, but it can't cause any danger to his life. No matter it is close combat or long-range attack, these monsters can't benefit, and the thick armor on his body can only be used by monsters. Only by throwing him from the sky can he rely on fall damage to hurt him.

But close combat is not his opponent, these monsters can't do anything to him.

But other people can't do it. Rumi Knight can deal with a small number of harpies, but if there are more, they will definitely be in a hurry. Once they are taken to the sky by monsters, it will be really dangerous.

As for Kiel and other warriors who are not knights, they are most afraid of being attacked by monsters throwing heavy objects. If they do not respond properly, they may be in danger of being defeated by monsters.

Knowing that the battle was at its climax at this time, Knight Crowe immediately released his life energy that changed the nature of the elements. He had been relying on ordinary knight methods to fight, but now he had to go all out.

The knight kept pulling the horse, allowing the unusually strong horse to leap forward in place, passing through the slightly chaotic militia team, and quickly approaching the middle of the army.

Every time his horse hits the ground, the huge impact and tremors can directly knock down the militiamen around the horse to the ground.

Facing such a mighty Knight Crow, the soldiers didn't dare to say anything, not even complaining.

Several monsters that were thrown off by the knights chased after them with screams and fluttering wings. Not only did they want to stop Crowe, the iron man in their eyes, but they also wanted to support the monster trapped in the air by the flashing 'monster' in the middle of the army. leader.

As several vertical leaps approached the group of carriages, a surging khaki halo gradually rose from Knight Crowe's body, and the surrounding ground also trembled slightly as he moved. These ground tremors were not necessarily all It was the shock caused by the knight's heavy horse falling to the ground.

"Ha! Make way for me! Earth! Make way for me!"

Knight Crowe yelled.

As he yelled, several open spaces on the route in front of him suddenly increased the vibration of the ground, and in an instant a two-meter-long square ground rose from the soft grassland soil.

The ground is lifted one by one, at a seemingly slow but fast speed, all the way up.

The raised platform of dirt closest to Knight Crowe only rose to a height of three meters before trembling to a stop, and it continued to condense and strengthen itself.

The next dirt platform a little farther away continued to rise after rising to three meters, and stopped at a height of six meters.

The one farther away, the dirt platform that has been raised in the gap between the carriages, is even higher, a full 12 meters high, and the last dirt platform is directly raised 40 meters high in one breath. It became a towering clay pillar.

This scene shocked everyone around. It was not only the constant tremors on the ground that made human beings inherently fearful, but also the fact that such a powerful ability appeared in front of them.

To be honest, although the previous two divine arts were magnificent, they were somewhat empty after all, the natural emptiness of divine arts.

Even if the militiamen had little knowledge, they could instinctively feel that these magical spells, no matter how magnificent, were supported by constantly consuming power. Once the power was exhausted, they would definitely dissipate.

But what Knight Crowe drives is not false power. He himself—everyone has seen Knight Crowe’s performance in the Angry River before—controls and drives real matter, which is soil and the earth.

The towering clay square pillars rising from the breath, brought shock to human beings, far surpassing the shock brought by divine arts.

Even Baron Kendall gasped and took a deep breath to relieve the earth square pillars that were rising rapidly one after another in the direction of the center of the army. The priests next to him also looked at each other and frowned.

They feel that today's limelight has been taken away by Crowe, a powerful knight. Will the preaching be hindered?

The baron glanced at the expressions of the priests, and the beard on the corner of his mouth was raised a little, but he quickly hid the smile. How could he not know what the priests were planning? Although it was impossible to see what means they used to increase their influence in the hearts of the soldiers, the knowledgeable baron was sure that the priests had tampered with it.

Priests have been waiting for today's opportunity, haven't they?

This is something you know and I know.

As early as when he asked the church in Kendall City to select personnel to go out with the army, this was a tacit understanding between the two parties.

I need your help to give you a chance to increase the influence of the army.

Most of the militiamen who originally believed in the God of Saturn would also change from the dominance of one family to three contending for supremacy in terms of faith influence due to the performance and competition of several churches.

It's a pity that there are other forces in Kendall County, and the baron had originally considered that he would send people to bring them along to confuse the belief in the entire county. In the balance of all parties, continue to develop and grow.

The previous situation where the Church of Saturn was dominant was actually very dangerous. In villages and settlements everywhere, no power can compete with the Church of Saturn for faith, not even the city of Kendal.

It wasn't until the baron's father, the old baron's generation, relied on the knowledge and influence of the family to support other churches such as the Church of the Forging God, that the situation in Kendall City was completely controlled by the baron family.

Even the aggressiveness and desire for control of the Saturnalia Church is not considered strong among all churches.

-

Knight Crowe let his horse leap forward again, drawing an arc, and his horse accurately landed on the top of the three-meter-high dirt square pillar platform.

"Again! Do it again!"

Sensing the hesitation of the war horse, the knight encouraged it.

So the strong war horse once again jumped forward in place. Without the acceleration of running, this kind of vertical leap in place is very dangerous. Ordinary horses can't make such a move at all, and they can't go so far in one go.

It's all thanks to the transformation of these knights' war horses, and the bloodlines of other powerful monsters are mixed in their bloodlines to perform so well. In addition, every strong rider of the knight rank will rely on the mysterious magic contract, so that the life energy that originally belonged to the knight himself can help their mounts strengthen and improve in battle.

Make impossible combat performances.

Of course, these are skills that ordinary family inheritance knights do not have.

It is usually passed down from the kingdom army, and only the kingdom army has mastered the complicated means of breeding beasts, and handed it over to the knights who were born in the kingdom army.

This ability can no longer be taught to others, because he once made an oath to the gods in the army, and those who violated it will be severely punished, and no one dares to commit it.

Here is an extra digression. The army of the kingdom is not the army of the king or the regent himself, but the main military organization of the kingdom funded by the noble council formed by the nobles of the kingdom and the church of the **** of nobles. They will fight for the interests of the nobles of the kingdom, not the king or regent's own family. They obey the orders of the noble council. The king and regent themselves are only the leaders of the noble council, not the owners.

Boom, the war horse jumped up again and landed on another platform of earth square pillars six meters above the ground.

The height of the next landing point is already about 12 meters. If the horse can run and accelerate, it can jump so high in one breath, but at this time the platform is only about two meters long, and the huge and strong horse stands here. , it is necessary to put the front and rear hooves together so as not to fall, and there is no ability to move forward at all.

"That's it, my friend. Protect yourself."

Knight Crowe explained to his horse, then turned over and stood beside the horse.

He first stomped heavily on the square pillar of dirt under his feet, and after sensing that the thing he controlled was very strong, he squatted down heavily, and then jumped forward on the spot.

With a vertical jump, he jumped from this six-meter-high platform to a twelve-meter-high platform more than ten meters away.

He continued his efforts, made another big jump, and jumped from this 12-meter-high platform to the last platform nearly 40 meters high in one breath.

Knight Crowe drew out the magic gem long sword he had just put away, squatted down on the ground with his left hand and pulled it, and pulled out a dirt stick with a thick wrist directly from the dirt platform.

The knight quickly placed the hilt of the sword on the top of the clay stick, then focused his eyes, and manipulated the earth-yellow life energy to flow into the stick, deforming the top of the stick to wrap around the hilt of the sword.

Then he held the clay stick with both hands, poured a lot of life energy into it, and strengthened the clay stick in his hand with his own life energy.

This thing kept changing, but within two or three seconds, it shrunk several times. After the original soil material touched the Crow Knight's steel gauntlet, the sound it made became crisper.

Obviously, the strength of this thing has become almost like steel because of life energy.

Only then did Knight Crowe heave a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, and the temporary 'spear' in his hand was pulled out continuously. It was only after being pulled out that the long spear showed its full length. It was seven meters long. The blade of the sword, which is more than one meter long, is used as the tip of the gun, which looks very powerful.

Knight Crowe picked up the temporary spear, then looked up to a higher place in the sky.

More than ten meters above the head is the place where the coin monster and the big leader of the harpy are entangled. After the delay just now, the size of the coin monster has been reduced by more than a circle, and it is about the same size as an ordinary harpy size.

If it weren't for its heavy weight, it would have been unable to hold the leader of the monster who was frantically trying to get out of trouble.

Knight Crowe knew that he had to jump onto the coin monster, and there was only one chance. If he failed to catch both, let alone whether he would fall to his death and be injured, there were no more coin monsters entangled with the monster leader. Time for him to do it again.

"Whirring whirring-"

The knight took two deep breaths, without running up, just squatted down and jumped up on the spot.

Boom!

The surface of the earth square pillar reinforced by life energy was trampled into two deep foot pits by the force of Crow Knight's jumping in place.

The knight himself even jumped up in an instant, and approached the two who were turning and entangled.

However, contrary to the expectations of all the people on the ground who were paying attention to the situation at this time, Knight Crowe did not reach out to grab the coin monster that was trying to keep his body as stable as possible. The monster's body was kept as stable as possible, so that Knight Crowe could catch it and climb up to fight.

Knight Crowe boldly flicked the seven-meter spear in his hand, and pierced the blade of the sword at the tip of the spear into the body of the big leader of the Harpy.

"Sip!!"

The big leader of the painful monster couldn't see it, but relying on the direction of the attack, he flapped his wings and hit him right away.

"Hmph." The knight snorted coldly, and through the gun shaft full of life energy in his hand, he manipulated the magic blade on his sword to stimulate it.

Hum-hum-poof.

The sword as the tip of the gun emits a blue light of magic power, and a one-meter-long magic blade directly radiates from the tip of the sword, penetrating the entire monster's body fiercely and abruptly.

Even though the big head of the harpy was four and a half meters high, and his body was extraordinarily strong and bulky, the two-meter-long attack length of the front and rear magic blades and the sword body still pierced it directly.

After the blue-white magic blade even penetrated from the other end, it sprayed out a large number of magic sparks that came into contact with the blood in the monster's body.

These highly corrosive and destructive magical sparks burned and tore the body of the harpy in the monster's body, causing it great pain.

"Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!"

I don't know what the sharp cry said, but all the harpies around who were originally driven away by the coin weapon, and the other harpies on the battlefield in a wider range around them heard it.

Some of them were magically blinded, some were not, and all turned their feathered heads in the direction of the wounded leader.

Then they put down everything around their paws, and eagerly flapped their wings and flew up to support their leader.

-

"It's now, two priests, use your magic!"

The baron ordered heavily, and at the same time raised the magic gem short staff in his hand, aiming at all the harpies that were constantly gathering in the air.

"Yes, my lord." The two Saturnalia priests, one old and one young, responded in unison.

The two of them are different from the other two priests from other churches who came alone with the army. The two of them can do far more than one person can do in terms of battlefield magic that requires more people to perform together.

At least two people can control many more things together than one person.

This is generally the case for normal human beings. Other things that can be involved with magicians such as one body and two minds, polycephaly, megacephaly, and conjoined twins are beyond the scope of ordinary people's imagination.

The two priests of Saturn faced each other at a distance of two meters. One was at one end of the carriage and the other was at the other end of the carriage. They both raised their arms and faced each other with open palms.

Immediately began to pray from the older priests: "Evil is established, and life is difficult."

The young priest followed after him: "It's not easy to travel far, but leaving behind soil is also difficult."

Then the two prayed loudly alternately: "He bullied me, you bullied me."

"Who knows, peasant Zhaofan."

"Swear by clapping hands and ask God to fight."

"The **** of agriculture bowed his head and was quite pitiful."

"Send me to wait, come today."

"You wait for the battle, we wait for the rescue."

"The blood flow is endless, and the life is endless."

"It's just because of the power, it's in the earth element."

"Turn the soil and plow it to make a field."

"It has its own strength, you and my heart."

"It has its own strength, you and my heart!"

The two sang one last sentence in high spirits, and the divine power of the **** of agriculture poured out from their bodies and converged towards the space between them.

The old priest has a lot of divine power, but the young priest has much less, because he has given Kiel a lot of support before.

The two actually had a slight disagreement on this matter. The old priest wanted to use more magic on the army to consolidate and strengthen the influence of the Saturn belief in the militia, at least not to allow the other two to occupy too much.

But the young priest was inspired by the God of Saturn along the way, suggesting that he should try to send the divine power into the body of the young man Kiel in the following journey.

Help the seeds of the **** of agriculture in Kiel's body to germinate, and further let the **** of agriculture help the young man Kiel.

The young priest didn't understand the god's intention at first, but later felt that the **** of agriculture might have deliberately turned Kiel, who had risen rapidly into a knight warrior, to fall to the church of **** of agriculture due to the influence of power.

To be honest, the Saturnalia Church has the largest number of believers, and of course it has a large stall. However, as the brothers and sisters of the gods, the church cannot distance itself from other churches in terms of strength.

Just last year, the sun **** seemed to reach the top in one fell swoop, surpassing many human gods, and sitting on the throne outside the sky that other powerful gods can only sit on.

Since last year, the sky has been gradually revealing a human sun **** orb, with the emblem of the sun **** hanging on it at any time.

At this point, the believers of the Sun God no longer need to go to the holy place to pray and worship every day, and just pray directly to the emblem of the **** in the sky.

Because the gods are there so far.

You can see it when you look up.

You watch him.

He is watching you too.

-

After the prayers were finished, the divine power flowing from the two of them was concentrated in the divine power sphere facing each other between their palms.

After the divine power was provided, the two priests did not complete their work. Their spirits were already connected to the divine power sphere, and they were constantly active in the divine power sphere, building up the chaotic and disordered divine power according to the teachings of the church. .

The center of the sphere is naturally the emblem of the **** of Saturn, and at this time it is spring, and they build a second emblem of the **** around the emblem of the **** of Saturn-the goddess of spring-Joy.

Although there are some auxiliary gods under the God of Saturn, but because the God of Saturn is an extremely powerful god, there is no need to do anything more.

The help they needed just now has been integrated into the prayers. Hearing the divine power and the emblem of the gods in the prayers, they will control the surrounding divine power according to the prayer needs to form the necessary battlefield healing magic.

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, the divine power ball that was originally in the shape of a ball quickly changed into a huge seed that radiated blue light.

The image of this seed is translucent and semi-illusory. It looks like a certain kind of seed, but when you look at it again, it seems to be another kind of seed.

In any case, it is the appearance of grain seeds that farmers often deal with.

Inside the translucent seed, there are two heart-like emblems of gods moving around. Various light filaments are quickly exchanged between the two emblems of gods, and they are constantly swinging in the translucent seeds.

Afterwards, the seed swelled and pumped like a heart, and dozens of blue light spots exploded from its surface.

After these light spots were blown out, they didn't just fall on the ground in a disorderly manner, but directly drilled into everyone around them.

If you can observe these light spots carefully, you will find that each small blue light spot is a smaller translucent seed image.

Within each of the smaller seeds also resides a Saturn, a divine emblem of the Goddess of Spring.

Of course, the tiny cyan seeds thrown at the two other priests of the surrounding church did not succeed in reaching these two priests. Directly on the surface of the body, it aroused the divine power response of other gods, and immediately shot this harmless tiny seed with healing ability to the ground on one side.

The tiny cyan seeds that fell on the ground suddenly drilled into the soil, and instantly turned into a plant, growing rapidly. Even the plants that look like some kind of crop are translucent, not real crops.

And other people who don't react very much, like Baron Kendall. A nearly transparent magic shield suddenly appeared on the baron, trapping the tiny cyan seeds that wanted to approach in the middle of the magic shield.

Neither bouncing off nor letting it in, just being so trapped, letting the seeds dissipate on their own.

The other seeds that exploded flew up and touched everyone around them, blended into their skin and bodies, and instantly bloomed in the human body, sprouting and growing. And in the process~www.readwn.com~by means of divine power, a healing ability that can be said to be strong or not, or weak or not.

The soldiers whose ears were injured and deafened by the screams of the monsters felt itchy in their ears, and a burst of vigorous physical strength emerged from their bodies. All the physical strength consumed by marching, panic, and fighting before seemed to have returned. The previous exhaustion was more like an illusion, only the abundant physical strength at this moment was real.

Seeing this, the baron directly opened his mouth to let the magic amplify his voice and shouted: "All soldiers, obey the order to gather in the carriage. Repeat again, all soldiers obey the order to gather in the carriage. Get closer quickly."

And the huge translucent seeds between the two priests are constantly releasing dozens of tiny blue light seeds outward every second. These seeds spread outward rapidly, neither being affected by gravity nor the surrounding grassland. The influence of high winds.

Continuously enter the body of the surrounding Kendall militia, and quickly heal them, and provide them with abundant physical strength powered by divine power.

The militiamen whose ears healed quickly were delighted to be able to hear the noisy voices around them again, but before they could say a few words excitedly, they were immediately suppressed by the huge baron's order.

Upon hearing the order, most of the soldiers approached the center of the army, while some soldiers who wanted to pick up the broken coins on the ground were dragged away by their companions.

"Let me pick up another one, just one!"

"I've picked up so many, when will it be the first time? Listen to the order and defeat the monster first."

"Stupid, where is the chance to pick up these coin fragments after defeating the monster?"

"You are an idiot. If you pick it up, can it still be yours? Isn't it all the money of the nobles? Do you really think that if you pick it up, it's yours?"

So the greedy militiamen were dragged away dejectedly.
