Shaman from Afar

I didn't even wait until the third day, just before dawn, the entire Ranger Banner Regiment was ready to go.

Just like at the time of the legion meeting, the entire corps of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain was composed of two fully-equipped heavy infantry corps and a large number of auxiliary soldiers, and the most important one was the church knights in the name of the Holy Cross Church And light infantry from all over the empire who volunteered to join.

In Brandon ’s words, it ’s actually more appropriate to call this group of "crazy believers"-in the history of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, they often read that they shouted the slogan "for the Holy Cross", waving different shapes. Weapons, using the flesh and blood to launch a tide-like attack on the army of monsters, and firmly believe that their piety can make them glorified into the kingdom of heaven.

In the north, where raids are frequent, these "crazy believers" are simply the best source of soldiers, and they can tolerate all hardships. Rarely are they defeated and they are not afraid of death.

The only drawback is that they often do not listen to the command and see the enemies slogan rushing up, causing a lot of unnecessary casualties-only the church knights of the Holy Cross Church can restrain them a little.

The large number of insatiable fanatics and the rare but elite church knights are the basis of the Holy Cross Church ’s right to speak in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain and the entire empire.

This is also why Brandon will select church knights to join himself, rather than the more efficient and obedient legionnaires. The Holy Cross Church in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain is almost semi-independent and uncontrolled like other places. Organization, Connord is difficult to intervene.

So no matter how tired of the Holy Cross Church, these people are Brandon's best choices-they are better than a group of soldiers who have sworn allegiance to Connold, and they have taken control of the team halfway.

Most importantly, the chief knight of the church knight, Zena, since he dared to hit Connold in front of everyone in the legion meeting, proved that he was not the dogleg of His Royal Highness Prince Sackland ... or at least Not on the bright side.

that's enough.

"His Royal Highness, your team is ready to be ready at any time!"

On the wall of the fortress roared by the north wind, the church knight Naze, with a holy cross pendant on his chest, stood in front of Brandon, followed by the still indifferent but Edward who had become the captain of the Brandon Guard.

Following the eyes of everyone, the dark-haired wizard also slowly turned his head back and looked down at the wall-under the banner of the three dragons holding the crown of iron, there were three hundred fully armed and determined soldiers standing neatly Them.

The forefront is still the guards mobilized by Brandon from Ebden, and the 130 army soldiers who have experienced the camp encounter and are still intact;

After that, there were nearly two hundred church "light infantry"; although they use this name, they still have quite good protection, and they are equipped with the halberds and epee that are like the legionnaires. The huge zigzag shield was replaced with a smaller skinned round shield; in addition, many people were equipped with war bows.

There are workshops like Furnace Town, and the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain can of course be equipped with heavy crossbows in large quantities, but the problem is that such a cold crossbow machine and crossbow are not useful at all, and they will freeze after a few triggers. , Hard and absolutely unmovable-by contrast, although the bow has a short range, it can at least perfectly adapt to the northern environment.

In addition, there are twelve well-equipped church knights who came from the church knight Naze, as the backbone of this trip.

As far as Loren knows, there are less than fifty church knights in the whole Fortress of the Boundary Mountain. The other party directly sent twelve to join Brandon. A full quarter of elite is enough to prove that the Holy Cross Church is doing this. Attention.

Under the banner of the hunted iron crown, the persevering soldiers remained motionless from beginning to end, and the flying snow almost dyed them all over the body; if it was not the fog exhaled in the mouth, it is almost doubtful whether these are Really alive.

The dark-haired wizard on the city wall raised his eyebrows. Such qualities and disciplines are not to mention Eboden ’s mercenary regiment, even the Knight Guard of Rotel Ruwin.

What about the elves of the ancient wood forest?

Indeed, the war dancers in the ancient wood forest are equally brave and not afraid of sacrifice. Even in the case of one-on-one or even one-on-ten, they can absolutely easily destroy these ordinary soldiers who can only advance with the formation and shield wall.

But if the number rises to one hundred to one hundred, or even the level of the legion against ... it is another completely different kind of ravages.

Moreover, there are at most 3,000 elven warriors that can be collected in the entire eastern forest; and the empire is not counted as the armies of the various princes, but there are ten legions alone.

"After hearing that His Highness Brandon is about to leave the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain and head north, these brave and pious believers are all happy and excited, and want to join yours!"

Perceiving the wonder in the eyes of Brandon and the others around him, the faintly proud church knight Naze blushed and spoke generously with that bell-like voice:

"After my careful selection, the remaining two hundred people are all elite among the fortresses. The veterans who survived at least one battle and survived will definitely not be inferior to the legionnaires of the Empire!"

"Even if you encounter an unexpected raid by the army of monsters, there are twelve church knights protecting you. They have vowed that even if the battle is the last one, they will let you return to the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain safely and safely!"

After all, the church knight Naze raised his chest proudly, standing back half a step like a sculpture, and lowered his brick-like head heavily.

"Really ... thank you so much, Your Excellency Naze, there are church knights, I believe this trip will be a smooth journey and a triumphant tribute!" Feel the other party's enthusiasm like "Sacran fellow" Deng still showed his bright smile as always:

"In addition, if you offend you during the Legion meeting, please forgive me for the rudeness of this young man. I still have great respect for the Holy Cross Church and the devout people!"

"It's nothing. It's the first time you have seen me. It's human nature to be alienated." Although the words were very comforting, Naze's expression was very serious:

"But please forgive me for being rude-there seem to be a lot of irrelevant people in your team, which is likely to cause a lot of trouble in this trip!"

The dark-haired wizard standing behind remained unchanging, and with a crooked head, Brandon looked at the church knight "curiously":

"Sorry, do you have any concerns about my wizard advisor and his friends?"

"We certainly don't have any doubts about the descendants of a Turin family and his friends-although his ancestors once betrayed the glory of the Holy Cross, no one can question Roland Turin's loyalty to the empire! "

"As for this Isaac ... Although the wizards are ungodly believers, at least the knowledge they possess can help you a lot!"

"Then you want to say ..."

"All I want to say is this deserter!"

Without waiting for Brandon to speak, Naze suddenly raised his finger to Lucien next to the black-haired wizard, and the gray pupil who was pointed at bit his lip slightly, without opening.

"It's him who killed the previous search team going north and a loyal and brave church knight, and caused the attack on the outpost to be destroyed!" Church knight Naze said bluntly: "How can you bring such a man Go north ?! He will definitely kill you again, even all of us! "

Luisen, who bit her lip, stared at the unwilling look, inadvertently met Loren's glance, and quickly lowered her head.

He knew he could not at this time, and he was not qualified to speak.

"Lucien is innocent."

Loren shrugging a step forward. Www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The illegitimate child of the Wurz family was behind him, facing the church knight Naze in front of him: "If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness Connold has already Officially proclaiming his freedom, that proves his innocence-he is not a deserter, he just temporarily executed a special order! "

"A lot of nonsense!"

The excited Naze hurriedly said indignantly: "Please don't pretend to be stupid, Lord Loren Turin! Everyone in the fortress knows that it is you who stood up to give him a guarantee, and His Royal Highness Connor took him ..."

"His Excellency Lord Nazer!"

Aside, Brandon smiled and interrupted him: "I think my wizard advisor has just explained clearly, and Lord Lucien is innocent."

"but……"

"No. But, I have agreed to let him join the team as a Loren guard, and as a descendant of the DeSalyon family, I must be confident."

"Or did you forget ... who is the leader of this team?"
