While Goron was worrying about what to do with the little loli he picked up, someone was also having intense discussions about more serious and serious matters.
Soul Highland, the territory of Xerxes the Poison Drinker, sits on the edge of its pillar peaks with a group of buildings that are completely different from the desolate, rough, iron-blooded Valkyria style. One of them is completely made of unpeeled The three-story attic built of logs is suspended thousands of feet high in the sky through seven giant trees that can be hugged by five people, like a huge birdcage. The entire strange building is shrouded in a looming mist. It can't be seen clearly from a distance. If you stand on the lower peak of Blood Blade Peak or other pillar peaks, you can't see the slightest clue. It is obviously a secret method. The entire building has been concealed.
If you look down from the window platform of this suspended attic, you will have a tense feeling of being suspended under the sky, helpless. In addition, the entire attic has been swaying greatly in the strong wind of the canyon. , as if it will fall into the abyss at any time, so that people who are timid or not confident enough in their own strength cannot stay in this building, and this magical building named "Sky Villa" has also become the soul The most Amazonian-style building in the highlands. But in addition to testing the courage, this building is also the most secluded building on the entire Blood Blade Peak, and the one that is least accessible to sneak peeks by dark walkers. Of course, it cannot be the safest. Everyone present sat upright, and the aura of strength vaguely emanated from everyone, but no one was under the fourth-level warlord. The fifth-level war king with a distinguished status, who is rare in the entire Blade Tower Continent, does not enjoy any special treatment here, and many people even show a cautious and humble look. It was obvious that there was someone here who had a higher status than them.
A tall, thin, middle-aged man with a gentle temperament stood in front of the round table. He was wearing a well-tailored black mage robe, and the purple magic array pattern embroidered on it gave off an evil and dangerous atmosphere. At the same time, it also announced his distinguished status as a fifth-level legal practitioner. Since the largest magician guild, the Seven Towers Guild, was expelled by the Holy Beast Alliance and the Holy Light, it has been rare to see such high-level magicians on the mainland. This person is none other than a collaborator of the Cool Bear Family, a special expert sent by the Seven Towers Alliance, high-level warlock Wilfred Fizilban. Commonly known as "Soul Hunter". "Isn't this a good thing!" A slightly trembling voice responded: "At least it can be proved that the information obtained by the Holy See also shows that this time the prophecy of the God-Destroying Magic Guide should be true and credible, otherwise Those pedantic, stubborn, greedy and stingy old guys will not take it so seriously. As for the threat of the 'Knights of the Holy Fire', I think there is no need to worry. After all, this is a peninsula rainforest with dense vegetation, complex terrain, and hot and humid climate. It is not conducive to the development of large knights and heavy weapons at all, and the pampered young knights of the Knights of the Holy Fire cannot get used to the harsh environment of the tropical rainforest. I think just mosquitoes, poisonous weeds and sultry eczema can help us solve most of the problems. There are so many enemies, hee hee hee hee hee hee"...
The speech of the dwarf mage Bilbo Baggins was obviously approved by the vast majority of people present, including his mortal enemy the ogre magician. The "Holy Fire" sent by the Holy Light to attack the knights this time is a very famous legion, and everyone here knows its details.
The Holy Beast Alliance attaches great importance to military merit. Even the children of the seven principalities or even the imperial family cannot inherit the family title without going to the battlefield to obtain military honors. This is one of the iron rules of the charter set by the founding emperor that can never be modified in the slightest. It continues to Although it is now somewhat in name only, it cannot be directly violated. The "Holy Fire" of the Holy See's Crusade Knights is the organic army with the best treatment among all the legions in the mainland, and the relatively lightest and safest combat missions. Therefore, it has always been the first choice place for the world's noble ladies and young men to hone their skills. Under the banner of justice of "crushing heretics", "judging natural disasters", and "purifying demons", the annihilation of one or two small villages that are "suspected" of having necromancers or demonic sorcerers is often exaggerated as a "save the world" "The legendary battle, the military exploits can not be more relaxed and comfortable.
Every year the Holy See recruits troops, the world's nobles must pay huge "donations" to the Holy See in order to send their children into the "Holy Fire". This is also an important source of filling the private treasury of the senior elders of the Holy See. Although the apparent harmony between the imperial family and the Holy See has become increasingly difficult to hide in recent years, and discerning people have begun to choose one side to stand on, the status of the "Holy Fire" has not been affected at all, precisely because of its unique function for the world's nobility. They are indispensable to the higher-ups of the Holy See.
As for the combat effectiveness of the "Holy Fire", because every young master has a large amount of resources from the family, and the sacrifices are very sufficient, they can basically reach the limit of strength limited by their talents and qualifications. In addition, each of the equipment is excellent, and some people are even more capable. He has the family's secret combat skills, so in terms of the "strong" individual combat power of a "soldier", no legion can compare with it. The average seal level mentioned can often scare people to death. One-on-one combat in the arena The record is also very good, even a low-level soldier is often stronger than the soldiers of the main regular army or even the squad leader.
But similarly, the Knights of the Holy Fire also have the worst combat discipline among all legions and have almost zero fighting will. Since forming an army, their actual results often show two extremes, either a crushing victory or a complete victory. It was because of some ridiculous reasons that they lost to some ridiculous opponents. There was a battle that was blocked by the Holy See in every possible way, but was listed as a classic battle example by the Imperial Military Academy. It was a team that had some relationship with the God-Destroying Equipment. The mercenary group that was classified as a heretic by the Holy See sent the "Holy Fire" to crusade. Facing the Knights of the Holy Fire, which was a thousand times more powerful, the mercenaries with less than a hundred people actually used terrain traps, guerrilla warfare, psychological warfare and other methods to continuously defeat them. After three weeks of dozens of battles, the Knights of the Holy Fire were defeated and dispersed. The leader of the Knights of the Holy Fire was captured alive by mercenaries, and even the sacred regiment flag was taken away and desecrated. Although the mercenary group that had performed miracles was eventually completely annihilated after the Holy See's ace force, the "Templars," arrived, their once-splendid achievements were regarded as a slap in the face by those who were disgusted with the Holy See. The best weapon of light.
Thinking of the glorious achievements of the "Holy Fire Knights", many people present laughed with disdain. They come from many tribes, guilds, and even countries. Although no one's individual strength can compare with the Holy See Knights, together they are a force that cannot be underestimated. The total military strength is not mentioned for the time being. The level of combat power, especially the number of King of War warriors, can definitely be called a luxurious lineup even in large-scale battles, and there is also an absolute home field combat power like the Amazon Centaur. There is no way to face a vase army. Reason will defeat.
Seeing everyone's gradually relaxed expressions, the high-level warlock who served as the general staff of the temporary alliance, "Soul Hunter" sighed softly and told the second important piece of information.
"With credible information, we have found traces of the 'Judgment Priests', and there are at least ten of them. They have now separated from the large army and entered the rainforest. The specific purpose and whereabouts are unknown. The dark walker of our side who discovered them has already Killed."
Hearing the name "Priest of Judgment", the venue that was still laughing and joking just now instantly became silent, and even the dwarf mage, who was born with a smiling face, became very ugly. If the "Knights of the Holy Fire" are the shame and laughing stock of the Holy See, then the "Judge Priests" and the "Templars" are the two indestructible supreme holy swords used by the Holy See to exercise God's justice and display the power of God. The "Templar" is in the light, while the "Judge Priest" hides in the shadows. Whether it is a large-scale battle or a kidnapping and assassination, these two sharp swords can solve almost any trouble for the Holy See and kill any enemy. Including the emperors and royal families of the Holy Beast Alliance, no matter what race camp they are in, almost all those in important positions have "templars" and "judgment priests" on the list of opponents they are most afraid of.
If they could freely choose their opponents, everyone would rather fight an army of thousands of well-equipped knights than face a mere ten or so "Judgment Priests." Not because of their actual combat power, but because of their terrifying near-invincible record and the determination of the Holy See they represent...
However, the soul hunter seemed not satisfied enough and wanted to completely shatter everyone's unnecessary self-confidence, so he threw another "bombshell".
"In addition to the Judgment Priest, the auxiliary officer responsible for assisting in commanding the battle in the empire seems to be the very famous Agathios."
