Joshua knew what Aragami looked like.
Although in the game in his previous life, he was too focused on opening up new dungeons and did not pay special attention to the information about the God Machine and the Aragami, but after all, this is still a hot topic, even if he has no intention of watching or listening to it. , and will also be involuntarily filled with relevant information by people around them.
The appearance of Aragami is one of them. Compared with other monsters in the Continent of Disputes, that peculiar appearance is absolutely different in style. Once you see it once, you will never forget it and leave a deep impression.
The ferocious shape of the monster outlined on this letter was different from the Aragami he saw in the game forum, but it was undoubtedly the same style, plus the characteristics described by Verdan Scarlet - fighting spirit. The effects of magic and magic are very low. Only pure physical attacks can be effective. After death, they will turn into black smoke...
There is no need to ask anymore about the result. It is obvious that the beast tide that besieged the Moldova Territory this time contains traces of the Aragami.
"How can it be… "
Regardless of the surprised expressions of Yingying beside him and the confused faces of Zolgen and others, Joshua scanned the letter for help line by line, frowned, and twitched the corners of his mouth covertly: "Aragami? Appeared in Moldova? "
This is impossible to happen. You must know that all the time and space channels connecting the polluted other worlds are in Moldavia, and they are all well sealed. Where did these monsters come from
The warrior was not worried about what Zolgen and the others would know based on these words. In fact, in the entire Northland, he and Yingying were probably the only ones who knew the information about the sealed space-time tunnel and the Aragami, and only the two of them knew about it. What does the appearance of Aragami mean
This means that after hundreds of years, chaos has begun to invade again, and the tentacles of the evil god have once again extended into the world.
(Moldavia has three sealed time and space channels. Two are in the main city, suppressed underground by the sealing array cast by the Imperial Mage Group. One is the family cemetery in the Black Forest Fortress. That time and space channel has been suppressed by successive family heads. They are firmly locked with the power of order.)
Although there is no words and deeds from the previous generation of the family head, according to the information in the altar, there are also many ancient classics that can only be viewed as the family head. Joshua does know many things. A subtle expression appeared on his face: "It seems , it should be that a new passage has appeared deep in the black forest, this cannot be determined for the time being... interesting."
As for why Count Verdani didn't know about Aragami, it's easy to explain.
Although the Scarante family is also the descendant of the four heroes who first penetrated into the other world and sealed the time and space passage, they chose to give up this responsibility after many years. In order to eliminate as much information about the evil god as possible, the Scarlet family head of that generation also eliminated all records about the time and space channel and the monster behind it in the family.
Giving up means completely forgetting, which is also a choice.
As more information became known, some of the things that Joshua had been confused about in his previous life made sense. The reason why the ten players who successfully contracted the divine machine disappeared and did not reveal any follow-up content was not deliberately showing off or was it because of the lack of information. He hides his own strength in order to abide by the agreement and not reveal any information about the evil god.
"It seems that I am indeed a person who can't take any time off."
Taking a long breath, the new Chaos Warden shook his head and said: "I was just worried about where there were Chaos monsters for me to kill. I didn't expect so many to appear now."
Although it is very unethical, the warrior still looks forward to the existence of a gold-level god in Moldova who will allow him to complete professional tasks, which can also be regarded as adding strength to resist the beast tide.
"Sir, what's the problem with Moldova?"
Although he couldn't understand some of the words Joshua said, Zolgen could still understand that this urgent letter from the Scarlet family was a request for help. He asked: "Are you planning to support them?"
"Yes, Moldova, like us, is now being besieged by the Black Tide... No matter what the friendship has been for many years, even if it is for ourselves, we must support them."
Putting away the letter in his hand, the black-haired warrior stood up and said: "There are far more monsters besieging them than we are here. Judging from the fact that there are no traces of living creatures near the fortress, I guess that the entire monster beasts in the Aspen Mountains are heading towards They went in that direction."
"If we don't take advantage of this large tide of beasts being attracted to them and wipe them all out, then the beasts will break into pieces and attack everywhere. We, the three remaining Northern Territory leaders, probably won't be able to kill them all." One can escape the ending of being severely injured."
The purpose of the fortress's existence is to attract the attention of the beasts and prevent them from attacking weakly defended manors and villages everywhere.
In Moldova, there are at least hundreds of thousands, or even more than 200,000 monsters besieging them. It’s no wonder that even the golden warriors stationed there can’t sustain it. Even Joshua doesn’t dare to say that he can fight off this level of monsters. , if the Scarlet family falls and the beasts lose their targets and attack in all directions, it will really be a catastrophe for the entire Northland.
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Logically speaking, shouldn't their communications be obscured by the magic of chaos like ours? How come we can receive their letter for help this time?"
But he immediately found a reasonable explanation: "Yes, Veldani is a gold-level mage. She must have a solution to this magic problem."
Although they are also gold-level, no matter how experienced they are, the warriors can only rely on brute force to disperse the fog and use indirect methods to forcibly remove the interference caused by magic. However, gold-level mages definitely have ways to break this shield. This is Different specialization directions.
Having made a decision in his heart, Joshua nodded to the three people in front of him and said, "Thank you for the announcement. Otherwise, according to my habits, it would have been a long time before I found these letters... What else can we do now? Let’s speak out together here and solve it as soon as possible. It is best not to delay the matter of supporting Moldova, and we need to prepare as soon as possible.”
“…”
Zolgen, Kili and Feng looked at each other in silence. The three of them seemed to have decided something. Then the blond knight took a step forward, looked directly into their lord's eyes, lowered his head and said solemnly: "Maybe it's a little hasty. But coming here today and sending a letter is just a matter of convenience..."
Before they finished speaking, the three of them knelt down on one knee at the same time. They put their left hands across their chests and their right hands touched the ground. They said in a deep voice together: "Before, because of the busy affairs in the fortress, there was no chance, but now everything is on track. Then, now is the time to swear allegiance to you, Your Excellency.”
-Kneel down on one knee, put your left hand on your chest, and hold a weapon or touch the ground with your right hand. This is a posture that has been used for thousands of years by subordinates to swear allegiance to their lords in the Continent of Disputes.
Joshua felt surprised at this sudden allegiance.
But he did not behave awkwardly. The black-haired warrior just stood in front of the three people with his eyebrows slightly raised and said in confusion: "I originally thought you were loyal to me... Could it be that you didn't recognize me as the head of the family before? Become lord of Moldavia?”
"it's not true."
The half-elf warrior kneeling on one knee took off his helmet. His long blue hair was tied into a ponytail and placed on his shoulders. The magic lines on his face flashed with the light of magic. His expression was extremely serious and he spoke in an extremely serious tone. Said: "Suppose Zolgen and Feng don't know you very well, young master, but I am different. As your martial arts teacher when you were young, I can see the true quality in your heart."
At this point, Keely raised his head and looked directly at Joshua: "Probably because of the death of the master, you changed your slightly gentle personality and became so fierce and decisive, but no matter what, in my heart , you are the rightful heir and the only lord of this land. It is my honor to serve you."
"Yes. However, no matter what, before that, we were all knights loyal to Beruo Radcliffe, Earl of Winter, rather than subordinates to Joshua Radcliffe. "
The person speaking at this time was Feng. As a young mage, he still had a strong figure. The white-haired mage robe could not hide the outline of his muscles. Explosive strength and wisdom existed in this white-haired old man at the same time. He looked calm and said as if he were chatting normally: "My retainers' retainers are not my retainers. This saying has been circulating for many years, and it is the same here - as your father's subordinates, we are not your retainers."
"Now that the old earl has passed away, you are our new lord."
Finally coming to a conclusion, Zolgen's face was still pale, but his voice was full of energy: "In this case, he should receive our formal allegiance."
At this point, the three of them took off the long swords and staffs from their waists at the same time, held them on the ground with their right hands, made a fist with their left hands, and hammered the center of their chests. They said at the same time in a solemn voice: "Therefore, I am now respectfully In the name of the blood and fire in the north wind, Lord of Moldavia, who bears the sword hand as heraldry, please accept this oath and respect from your father's knight."
"With our lives and glory as evidence, we will become the sharp blade and scepter in your hands, carry out your will on this earth, and eliminate those who are enemies of you."
The sound echoed in the conference hall, which was neither narrow nor spacious, and Joshua looked at the three people in silence, seeming to be thinking about something.
It was really unexpected, the sudden formal oath of allegiance.
There was nothing to hesitate. The black-haired and red-eyed warrior stepped forward, simply took the weapons in their hands, and then gave them back to them. They also took the weapons that were given to them again with both hands, and solemnly put them back on their waists. between.
Sheathing the sword and bestowing the sword are the most orthodox rituals in the Continent of Dispute to grant knighthood to retainers.
After the ceremony, the black-haired warrior solemnly said: "I accept this oath... Zolgen Colclough, Kiri Ouranos, Von Lawrence, from now on, you are my sword and shield. I guard the glory, and I am your lord and protector, proud of your loyalty."
"Get up."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately stood up.
But Joshua, who was standing in front of them, turned around, shook his head, and said calmly: "Having said that, I am not a good candidate for loyalty... You should know that I am not proficient in managing territory, nor do I know how to manage finances or business. I can’t even promise you that your life will be richer and richer in the future.”
Speaking of this, he laughed: "However, as your lord and the object of allegiance, I can at least promise one thing."
"I can lead you to victory."
As evidenced by the glory of the legendary warriors of the past who have gone through countless battlefields without defeat, I will lead you to battle and win again and again.
"My lord..." After hearing this, the blond knight couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then he laughed softly as if he was infected by Joshua, while the half-elf warrior and the white-haired mage seemed to be similarly affected. Contagious, they laughed together in a low voice: "That's enough."
For the Knights, that was enough.
Next Wednesday...I will try my best to update twice...
Friends, don’t forget to get your Sanjiang ticket...
