Hadro, Archbishop of the Chongbai Church, has been secretly observing.
Well, it is a bit wrong to say that it is a secret observation. The Silver Eagle Principality is a very small principality, and legally it is still a part of the Valla Empire, so it itself has not received much attention. The Chongbai Church is stationed in the Silver Eagle Principality. The church doesn't have many powerful crusaders.
The Crusaders sent to Sotimi were wiped out by the Undead Orc and his subordinates, and after he also learned about the corpse dragon from the Temple of Glory, Hadro directly ordered the remnants of the Crusaders to shrink. , the order to defend the city of Tunaya as the main command highlighted a word of "counseling".
When the players appeared in Tunaya City as "reinforcements invited by the heir of the Fat family, Angela", he didn't pay much attention.
After all, their appearance is really too low.
The variety of equipment highlights that they are not a regular army, but a miscellaneous army like mercenaries. Not only that, some of the equipment seems to be defenseless.
Could it be that the monkfish headgear that looks like a sand sculpture has any other special abilities
Archbishop Hadro also suspected that he was the elite crusaders of other churches, deliberately pretending to be a miscellaneous army, to make himself take it lightly, and the church they belonged to could take the opportunity to occupy Tunaia, a place that is not easy to look at the entire continent. The main position of the humble city—in fact, there are many churches in small cities that are in a similar crisis situation. Those small churches save the city, so as to gain the support of the city people and even the nobles, and finally from Chongbai The church and the glorious temple have changed hands in the hands of such a large church.
However, after carefully observing those people, the archbishop gave up the idea.
Because the temperament of those people is not to mention compared with the elite members of the church, and even completely different from the regular army. At first glance, it is the kind of people who have not received professional training, and they will not be able to help but laugh out loud when they hear the strange confessions of some believers. Come the layman.
Comparing such a guy with his own elite is simply belittling the elite believers in the Chongbai Church!
Angela probably wanted to use these people as cannon fodder to delay the corpse dragon's attack on Tunaya City as much as possible, and to give time for several big churches to dispatch strong men from other churches to come to the rescue.
This made Archbishop Hadro couldn't help but look at the future Duke with admiration.
For him, compared to a benevolent but indecisive lord who did nothing in the face of all kinds of horrible disasters because he cared about the life and death of a few civilians, he was obviously able to be ruthless and use the names of mercenaries as cannon fodder. The lord who bought more time and a higher chance of winning in this way would be better off.
After all, religious personnel are different from politicians and ministers, and there are very few ways to get promoted, and Hadro is probably tied to the city of Tunaia in his life, otherwise the holy city of Chongbai Church would not readily give him one. The title of the Archbishop.
In the Chongbai Church, if one is canonized as an archbishop in another territory, unless there are special circumstances, he will never be able to return to the holy city to serve. This is almost an open secret.
You must know that even in the Holy City, there are not many archbishops, so it is impossible for outsiders like Hadro to return to the Holy City and cause trouble for other archbishops.
After all, compared to other territories, living in the holy city is obviously closer to the gods you believe in, and it is easier to get the gifts of the gods...
Therefore, the current cities of Hadro and Tunaia belong to the situation where all are prosperous and all are damaged. And Angra's behavior style is quite suitable for the archbishop's appetite, and even the idea of coaxing Angra into the Chongbai Church reappeared in his mind. If necessary, he could even accept the other party as his personal disciple!
It's just that Angra's attitude is very ambiguous now. Hadro thinks that the people from the Temple of Glory are probably blowing a lot of evil wind in the ears of the future Lord Silver Eagle. If necessary, it can also let him see the "true face" of the Glory Temple, and it will not be so difficult to include him in the teaching at that time.
Back to those motley crews that look ridiculous.
Hadro didn't know what Angela had promised these motley troops, so that even if they had to face the terrifying dragon, they were still eager to try with a smile on their faces (Hadro felt that from this point, it could be seen that these motley troops were all without vision idiot), but what is certain is that they should all die under the dragon's kiss.
I thought it would be enough for these miscellaneous troops to win for about half a day. After all, even among the superhuman races, giant dragons belong to the exceptional level, even bone dragons, rotten dragons, and corpse dragons. The existence of the clan itself is also extremely powerful. Without the help of the mage group or the choral team, if the general elite army does not reach an order of magnitude, it is still not their opponent.
And the Cliffs Mountains are very close to Tunaya City. For flying dragons, it is equivalent to a short distance away, and it only takes less than half an hour to get here.
However, according to the news from the believers who I sent out to serve as scouts, those seemingly weak miscellaneous troops actually forcibly tripped a red corpse dragon in the Cliffs Mountains for a whole day. Even failed to leave the whistling corridor!
Even the records of the crusaders dispatched by the Temple of Glory are nothing more than that!
—Actually, he didn’t know that the crusaders of the Temple of Glory were about to change. They were unprepared and they didn’t last long after encountering the red corpse dragon before they were wiped out. It was just that the red corpse dragon Sakaski at that time Still investigating the situation in the modern world through spell-like abilities, it took a long time to set off for Tunaia, otherwise the players would have to fight the corpse dragon in the city.
This record made Hadro confirm his previous guess:
It seems that this group of motley troops are indeed crusaders of other churches, and they should be the elite of the elite. Compared with the Chongbai Church, it is probably the legendary "Pure White Courtyard-Eradication Organ" composed of devout ascetics or Existence at the level of 'Underground Sanctuary - Floor 13 - Heresy Inquisition'—of course, the 'best of the best' of the small church must not be able to compare with the two extraordinary institutions of the Chongbai Church.
Even so, those members should be rare powerhouses. Unfortunately, their church leaders made a wrong decision and buried all these powerhouses in Kerry for the sake of the position of the bishop of a small town like Tunaia. Forth Mountains.
Hadro showed a sneer: Even if they finally succeeded in seizing the position of the bishop, but without these strong men, the position of the bishop might not be stable, right
