The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

"Father, are you planning to go with them?" Selene was surprised to see her father wearing the armor of the Imperial Guards and carefully selecting weapons.

"Yes." Roy chose a long? handle? ax on the weapon rack and weighed it, and closed the helmet's visor to cover his face, "I am not the original owner of this body. If I haven't been active for a long time, I will There will be repulsion."

As they continue to advance into the Nord Kingdom, the Guards Corps is also absorbing new blood. It is not easy to mix in the Guards Corps. The command is fully handed over to Selene, and the soldiers of the Central Army will not have any opinions. .

"Then, follow Hecate, she will definitely guarantee your safety." Selene suggested, "But still be careful."

Hecate doesn't have to protect her companions anymore, but she is still used to taking care of the recruits on the battlefield, so that they can survive and grow, so that they can truly become the strength of the guards.Moreover, she is always the one with the most agile movements and the most sensitive senses, and will use the fastest speed to eliminate the enemy magician. Selene believes that apart from the slight difficulty in dealing with magicians, her father can still do it on the battlefield. self-preservation.

"I'm just moving my body." Roy patted his daughter on the shoulder, "I won't rush forward."

The Central Legion is the backbone, the Guards Legion and the Legion of the Holy Light are the elites of the team, some priests in the Legion of the Holy Light are responsible for healing and assistance, and Selene is the commander of the entire team.Being able to participate in such a battle, Roy felt that his blood as a Northlander was boiling with excitement. He said to Selene that he was just moving his body, but he was unwilling to back down when he was on the battlefield, and he really followed his teammates Charged.

The Holy Light Legion is still better at fighting on flat ground. In terms of siege, even if the formation spreads out, it will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Guards Legion. It is difficult to surpass. Roy is in charge of the first batch of teams to attack the city wall , and his comrades hurriedly set up the ladder.

The Northlanders are physically strong and are often able to push the cumbersome siege ladders faster, reducing casualties in the process.The infantry accounted for the vast majority of the composition came in handy at this time. With Hecate on the scene, it was even more difficult for the enemy troops on the city wall to organize a counterattack.

When besieging the city, Selene will send a team of people to make noises, telling the northerners in the city that the army of the Nord Kingdom is attacking the city outside, so that the northerners in the city will also start to attack the city wall from the inside Under the attack of the enemy, the soldiers commanded by Selene have fought several consecutive siege battles without any suspense.

Today is no exception, the siege ladder pushed by Hecate is always the fastest to climb the top of the city. She grabs one end of the ladder and jumps up, draws out the crescent blade to deflect the crossbow? , Seeing that she was about to rush to the city wall, a magician hit her accurately with a big fireball that had been brewing for a long time.

At such a short distance, even Hecate couldn't take the blow forcefully. She was knocked off balance and almost fell directly from the top of the ladder to the ground.

Roy withdrew his right foot that had just stepped on the ladder and walked to Hecate.

"Be careful." Roy reached out and pulled Hecate up from the ground, and handed the crescent blade back to her, "Hold your knife steady."

When picking up the crescent blade, Roy could really feel the weight of the knife, which was lighter than any knife he had ever held in his life, but he also saw the sharpness of the crescent blade with his own eyes.

From this point of view, the Crescent Blade really looks like a creation of Penglai. It is light and delicate, but it has a lethality that is completely inconsistent with its appearance.

"Thank you very much." Hecate stood up from the ground, hurriedly apologized to the person in front of him, and then quickly jumped up the ladder.

The moment Hecate stepped into the wall, she took a deep breath and swung the crescent blade at the neck of an enemy soldier in front of her.

Before the crescent blade touched the man's skin, blood spattered in the air.

Before everyone could react, Hecate rushed into the enemy's formation, and turned his head to tell the comrades behind him not to follow up for the time being.The crescent blade in her hand seems to have an invisible and equally sharp part. Sometimes, even without her swinging the knife, as long as she approaches the enemy with the crescent blade, the enemy soldier will already appear with the crescent blade. caused the exact same wound.

In just a few minutes, a position was cleared on the city wall, and the Allied Forces of the Nord Kingdom captured the city with fewer casualties than usual.

The crescent blade in Hecate's hand also returned to its original shape, and it needed to touch the enemy with the blade to cause an attack. The jaw-dropping supply method just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Only Selene, who was watching from behind, knew that it was not an illusion, but the power exerted by the "Kingdom of God" established by Hecate last night.

In the beginning, all the divine spells of light required the god of light to brew for a long time. The reason why they could be used quickly by the priests was because the god of light constructed these spells in his kingdom of God and allowed his own Believers directly "copy" the constructed spells from the Kingdom of God.

The patron saint Hecate is not without the ability to carefully manipulate the power of faith, but her divine kingdom is closed like the spiritual world of human beings, and her followers cannot "copy" anything from it, and these spells can only be done by herself use.

Phoebe once told Selene that humans cannot actually learn how to construct divine arts. Their learning of divine arts is essentially to learn to communicate directly with the Kingdom of Light God, and copy a sample of divine arts from there. It is projected by the world, and the real method of using divine magic has not been taught to humans.

Hecate also couldn't pass on the Nord magic she used to anyone. She could only copy the sample from her own kingdom of God and project it on the human world after constructing it in advance.

But the fact that "Hecate can use divine arts" is like a heavy weight, which will instantly change the situation of the battle.

Just now, Hecate conducted the first experiment in actual combat, and Selene could feel her joy at the moment through the connection between the two—they had a little more confidence in defeating Hussein.

"That's - magic?" Phoebe hurriedly opened the curtain of the military tent and rushed in, "Can Hecate use magic?"

"Yes, it seems that only believers of the Patronus can't use divine spells, not the Patronus itself." Selene smiled and answered her, "Hecate doesn't have any name he wants to use, so I'll just name this one. Nord magic."

It wasn't until Hecate tried to modify her spiritual world last night—that is, the prototype of the "Kingdom of God" that Selene realized her specialty in this area.

According to Phoebe, she hasn't really learned how to use divine arts like the God of Light, but the years of studying divine arts have at least allowed her to better control the power of faith.

For example, when Hecate creates fine objects, she can help to modify them. When Hecate's creations cannot be accommodated by the space, she will also gather them before the power of faith splashes and make them return to normal power of faith.

It was also with the help of Selene that Hecate really began to build in the snow-covered Kingdom of God.

Her idea is very simple, that is to follow the appearance of the Nord Kingdom and build the Kingdom of God into a replica of the Nord Kingdom.Even leaving aside Selene's selfishness, she still thinks this is a good choice, and Hecate doesn't have to work hard to figure out a new set of laws.

Before that, Selene had never imagined that Hecate could go so fast and so far on the road of the gods.

A newly born human baby needs the careful care of the elders and the teaching of other mature human beings, so that he can learn the survival skills that belong to human beings and integrate into human beings.

God is actually the same.Newly born gods also need protection and teaching, but they often don't meet such kind-hearted seniors, so they have to explore alone. Some are lucky and become real gods, and those who are unlucky have long been due to various reasons , Even the ashes of the godhead can't be found.

Just when Selene was immersed in joy, the solemn Roy came to her alone.

"Hecate used... what? I was very close to her and could see it clearly."

"That's a divine technique, I think you should be able to guess it. When she really crosses the threshold between humans and gods, she can construct more and more powerful divine techniques..."

"Selene, divine spells are not a problem." Roy reminded her in a low voice, "The problem is that not any weapon can carry the power of faith, let alone complete divine spells. You should be better at this than me. clear."

There are many precepts in the Holy Code of Light, for example, lower-level priests are not allowed to wear armor, for example, only scepters can be used to use the magic of light.Because every time you use magic, you have to enter the Kingdom of Light to copy samples of the magic. No follower of the God of Light can bypass these precepts. The priests in the Holy Light Legion who major in martial arts will also wear a short scepter of.

"No, we can't just draw conclusions like this. These commandments are not necessarily created by the gods themselves, otherwise why Hussein does not allow magic to be attached to weapons? Magic is more suitable for this than magic, which will make his army such as It is several times stronger today." Selene thought of the key to this matter, "I think there must be a higher law above the laws of gods, which imposes restrictions on gods, maybe as long as they exist in this world, You can’t really do whatever you want. And the restrictions on Hecate’s divine arts don’t include this aspect.”

Seeing that Hecate was walking towards here, Roy quickly closed his mask and walked in another direction.

"I hope so." He dropped a sentence hastily.
