The news of going abroad soon spread throughout the sanctuary. After that, the morale of the entire sanctuary was like a rainbow, and the letters to apply for the expedition almost filled the offices of the relevant departments. The news spread outside the cathedral, and many civilians and even professionals ran over to join in the fun, clamoring to go to the battlefield.
Because according to the practice of the Kingdom of France, every time the lord goes out to fight, in addition to recruiting farmers to become ordinary soldiers, he will also recruit another batch of farmers to be responsible for logistics transportation and cleaning the battlefield.
Most of the people in the sanctuary are believers of the light, and it is their lifelong belief to contribute to the light god religion. In the past, the Temple of Light did not have any major enemies to the outside world. Even if there were, they were very powerful professionals, and ordinary people could not help them.
But in the case of war, the situation is different.
In any case, with a little training, farmers can become soldiers, and they can also become members of transport teams.
Beta was in the sanctuary, watching at least tens of thousands of civilians being armed, and then within a few days, led by teams of holy guards, they left the sanctuary in batches. Behind each army, a group of farmers with fanatical morale followed, pushing wooden carts to help transport food, weapons, and armor.
A few days later, the sanctuary with at least a million people was suddenly emptied. Beta estimated that at least 300,000 people had left.
Tina was the last group to set off. Apart from Beta and Seaman's team, she was accompanied by a fairly elite Holy Guard. Doro is also in this holy guard.
As the future star of the sanctuary, even if Tina goes to the battlefield, she will be protected.
And Beta is also a member of the guards. Normally, magicians are not suitable for guards, but now everyone knows that Cook Green is not a pure magician.
That is a mage who can learn the 'swordsmanship will'. The close combat ability is estimated to be comparable to that of a great swordsman of the same level.
A carriage was in the center, with one hundred Holy Guards in front and one hundred Holy Opponents at the back, and everyone from Seaman's team guarded the carriage.
The sun is very poisonous, even though there are sprouting trees on the side of the road from time to time, after walking for a long time, Ximan feels that his whole body is getting oily from the sun.
"Why do we have to guard outside, so he can stay in the carriage and be alone with the beautiful lady?" Seaman whispered extremely unhappily.
"Because you're not handsome enough."
Bradley is wearing a suit of armor and riding a horse. If ordinary people wear armor in this kind of weather, they will probably faint from the heat, but the fighters have excellent physique, and they have a strong ability to adapt to both heat and cold. Unless the temperature is really extreme, ordinary professionals will not be afraid of the normal environment of nature.
In contrast, it is very difficult for a mage to feel comfortable in such hot weather if he does not know the ice-type shield.
Unfortunately, Seaman is an earth magician.
Generally speaking, when a magician reaches his level, he will have a few tricks to deal with the special and harsh environment.
But he was too biased, and only learned the magic of the earth system. This is a tragedy.
In essence, this is also related to the extreme scarcity of magic modeling. The view of the door is cherished by the broom.
In the carriage, Tina was sitting opposite Beta, talking with her with a happy face.
With the people you like, even the most boring journey will become colorful.
Beta chatted with Tina and was also very attentive. After all, Tina was also his friend, so he couldn't answer without saying a word.
After a while, he suddenly frowned: "Is your Temple of Light obliged to deal with the bear people?"
Ok
Tina had a black question mark on her face.
Now it has been more than 100 kilometers away from the sanctuary, and there are no big cities around, only endless green hills. Joan of Arc hovered high in the sky, and it found a group of black bear-men looming in the forest about five kilometers to the right of the team. Joan estimated that the number was about 2,000.
Beta originally thought that there would only be Hollevin and the bear people near the Starfrost Kingdom, but they didn't expect that they already had a vanguard force and moved to the Farnese Kingdom.
"Where did it come from?"
Beta felt a little surprised. Although there are many mountains and forests in the country of France, almost none of them border foreign mountains, and the lords on the border of France are very strong, so it is impossible for so many bears to jump in. don't know.
Unless, they deliberately put the bear people in... This possibility is relatively small.
Another possibility is even more exaggerated.
The bear people know how to teleport magic circles on a large scale.
Logically speaking, this is less likely than the previous hypothesis, because the orcs are at most playing with shamanism, which is a kind of ancestor worship, totem worship, and there is no complete magic theory. They may be able to use individual teleportation However, the mass teleportation technique is almost impossible to appear in the hands of the bear people.
But for some reason, Beta felt that the possibility of the second hypothesis was very high.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the bear people appear here.
"Bear people?"
Hearing this, Tina was also a little surprised. Ordinary French people don't know the dangers of the bear people, but Tina knows it.
In the hidden mountains and forests of these bear people, there may only be hundreds or thousands of people in the beginning. But they are very fertile, and as long as food is available, they can give birth to a litter a year on average. There are 3-6 per litter.
The bear people grow up very fast, and the human beings have to grow up to about fifteen years old to be qualified for combat. But the bear people generally only need eight years.
In a sense, the bear people are more able to live than humans. But the survival rate of their cubs is lower than that of humans, but even so, if the bear people live in the mountains and forests for decades, the population of hundreds may become tens of thousands.
The only thing that restricts the upper limit of the bear people's combat power is that their average intelligence is very low, and they can't make tools. At most, they can make some stone sticks, wooden sticks, or bone sticks.
They don't know how to smelt iron, let alone build iron equipment.
Therefore, even if the bear people have extremely high reproductive capacity, they are not opponents of human beings.
But if a mountain forest is occupied by the bear people, then humans must pay a high enough price if they want to clear them out.
Beta told Tina about the aspects and numbers of the Bearmen, and Tina immediately stuck her head out of the fixed window and shouted to stop.
Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Tina said rather wisely: "I feel that there is an evil spirit in the forest over there. I plan to go over and investigate."
"Ms. Tina, will this affect the time we reach the front line?" The nominal adjutant of the team asked from the side.
"Don't worry, with our speed, we can reach the front line at least four days in advance, and there is no problem in wasting some here." Tina smiled: "But we can't leave the evil breath alone."
A paladin is synonymous with piety in the sanctuary, and Tina said that there is an evil aura over there, so other people will naturally have no objections.
She waved her hand and asked the Holy Guard to station on the side of the road, and then the thieves in Heman's team, as well as several Holy Guards who were good at scouting, set off in the direction Tina pointed.
Around the evening, they came back, and their faces were not very good-looking.
"The Black Bear tribe has about 2,000 people, and there is more than one shaman."
Two thousand is indeed a lot. And the Holy Guard only has more than 200 people, and the mountains and forests are the natural hunting grounds of the bear people. Logically speaking, they are not the opponents of those bear people.
But Tina said: "The bear people have poor eyesight at night, much more blind than us humans. I think they can attack in the middle of the night."
It's not that Tina is serious about murder, but that the bear people, as long as they appear in any human mountain forest and are discovered, they must be wiped out as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when they grow more and more, if you want to get rid of them, the price you pay will be too high.
In Winterwind City, Kyle personally led the army and suppressed it for several months before clearing out the bear people near Winterwind City.
Anyone who knows the dangers of the bear people will not sit back and watch the bear people survive in the mountains.
It's just that Tina's revelation made the other Holy Guard a little helpless.
It is true that the bear people have poor night vision, but their humans are not much better, and two hundred to two thousand, isn't it too exaggerated
However, the next words shocked the entire Holy Guard to the point that their jaws dropped.
"You divide into three teams and seal here, here, and here." Tina pointed to the terrain on the map: "When the bears are defeated and flee, try to intercept them as much as possible, and don't let any of them escape."
"Wait, Ms. Tina." The adjutant sitting next to him was anxious: "Are you planning to deal with two thousand bears by yourself?"
"It's not me alone, and Cook." Tina smiled, looking at Beta's eyes full of trust.
"I object." The adjutant stood up: "I must be responsible for your safety."
"The objection is invalid." Tina looked at the adjutant indifferently: "I order you as the supreme commander in the team, to act according to the plan I made, otherwise you will be dealt with by military law."
The adjutant gritted his teeth and sat down resentfully. Then he turned his gaze to Beta, with the intention of praying, as if he hoped that Beta would also persuade Tina.
Beta shook her head at him.
The adjutant immediately became anxious.
Tina stood up: "Okay, that's it, everyone eat something and get ready for the upcoming battle. Cook, you and I will act together."
"Wait, what about us." Seaman jumped up.
Tina shook her head: "Act with them."
Then Tina picked up her great sword and walked into the forest, followed by Beta.
"They are too arrogant." The archer in Seaman's team was a little puzzled: "At least we have to bring Alili over there."
Alili is the thief in the team.
Bradley smiled and said: "I don't think they are arrogant, but confident. Geniuses are different from us, you have to understand the meaning of this sentence."
