Chapter 294 An Awkward Encounter, a Token of the Saint [Subscribe]

The number of seven or eighty heads also accounted for two-fifths of the entire gargoyle group.

If it weren't for the uneven distribution of some of the bolts, the number of kills would have increased by at least one or two percent.

Although it was not possible to completely wipe out this group of crypt monsters, Zong Shen was very satisfied.

Most of the crossbow bolts fell to the ground along with the gargoyle, and most of them could be recovered.

The remaining gargoyles were dazed by this wave of hurricane-like attacks. Once again, they began to disperse. They scattered around and eventually disappeared. When they escaped, they encountered another wave. The ranger's arrows and the magic blows of the mages killed several gargoyles that escaped.

Zong Shen put away all the storm crossbow machines that had been fired. At this time, the battle was basically over. This wave of offensive against the gargoyles was still very profitable, and an extra one or two thousand points were obtained, which was really fragrant.

All the soldiers began to consciously pick up the crossbow bolts scattered on the ground, all of which can be recycled and reused. Zong Shen also put away the weight-bearer mecha to help them pick up the crossbow bolts on the ground together.

Although the price of crossbow bolts is not expensive whether they are forged by themselves, purchased through the market or exchanged with points, not to mention that the storm crossbow machine uses the most common white-board crossbow bolts, so the cost is lower.

Howie kept silent all the way, just silently watching Zong Shen and the others fighting. Although no one gave him any hints, he vaguely grasped the key to some problems. The lord in front of him seemed to be Really not the same as those lords.

They don't seem to be from the same world, and the crypt monsters they encounter are also somewhat different from the undead lair and crypt tribes that occasionally appear in the entire continent.

This aroused Howie's curiosity even more. Joining such a magical territory, he might be able to experience things he had never experienced in the first half of his life.

Howie pondered in his heart and wondered why Zong Shen had never thrown an olive branch.

Zong Shen naturally doesn't know Howie's thoughts now. Although Howie is a heroic talent, he can't be included in Zong Shen's tasks at all. He will only wait for the most important tasks and arrangements in front of him to be completed. Will take care of Howie.

Just when everyone had packed up their crossbow arrows and were about to continue their journey to the west, there were two teams of uninvited guests, coming from west to east. These uninvited guests had a very clear target, that is, Zong Shen and the others.

There was a cloud of dust along the way, and as the distance got closer, Zong Shen could already see who it was.

These are two teams of heretical giant knights, the one headed by the knight carrying the Raven Saint.

Just now, Zong Shen was thinking of leading the team all the way to the west to check the situation of the Church of Calamity Ravens in Odo Village.

Zong Shen stood there and looked at the surrounding open space. There was no rain recently, and the land was relatively dry and hard. In addition, the weight-bearer mecha that Zong Shen drove before was empty and had a low weight, so the traces of the tracks were not obvious.

In addition, the crowded crypt monsters stepped on it like this, and the ground was compacted firmly, and there was no trace of the crawler at all.

Only then did Zong Shen feel relieved. The two opposing teams of heretical giant knights were aggressive, but Zong Shen was not afraid. He did everything he could to fight them, and kidnapped the delicate Raven Saintess directly and went home.

The warriors in the front row all gathered. The dragon-shaped spear and shield warriors erected strong shields and set up long spears. The wolf cavalry protected them on both sides, and Luna and the huntresses wandered nearby.

Quickly formed a coping formation, guarding the masters and the ranger sisters in it.

Zong Shen did not take out any weapons, so he waited for the arrival of the other party so calmly.

The speed of reloading the Sharma was very fast. They arrived at Zong Shen's place in more than a minute. The knight at the head stopped in front of Zong Shen with Sapphire, and the rest of the knights moved towards the two wings. It was caught in the past, because of the number of people, this time the two teams of heretic giant knights could not completely surround them.

The leading knight didn't have time to speak, but saw Sapphire jumping off the horse first.

"Hey, it's actually you."

"You are the lord who gave us the goblin thief clue that day."

"I have visited your territory once."

Sapphire has a 20-point favorability toward Zong Shen, so she naturally didn't forget what happened that day.

That day, the church's secret material point was stolen. She chased all the way to the vicinity of Zongshen's territory through the track traces left by the load-bearing mecha. Unfortunately, due to the influence of the rain, the clues were interrupted. Later, she went to Zongshen's territory to ask him about it. situation.

Finally, at the outpost camp in the mountain, I found the group of goblins. Although the cunning guys tried their best to deny it, Sapphire didn't believe it at all. In the end, due to the influence of the Church of Calamity Raven, the goblin merchant Boswell chose to surrender. , compensated Sapphire for a sum of materials, but the goblins did not admit that they stole the church's secret material point from beginning to end.

Although there are still some doubts, after all, Sapphire did not see the batch of supplies in the goblin camp, nor did she see the baggage box belonging to the church, but since Boswell has compensated, the final result is not important. .

Also because of this incident, Raven Saint Sapphire left an impression on Zong Shen, and had a good impression of this helpful and polite lord.

Zong Shen nodded with a smile, but didn't say anything too enthusiastic.

He looked around, looked at the heretical giant warriors, and then looked at the Raven Saint Sapphire with a smile.

"It turns out that Lady Saintess didn't forget it."

"It's a pity that we meet again, but it seems a little embarrassing."

"So many powerful church knights surrounded me, do you want to start a war?"

Zong Shen said unceremoniously, the position of these heretical giant knights is obviously an encircling formation, and the intention of the other party is self-evident.

Hearing Zong Shen say this, the Raven Saint's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and she quickly waved her hand to let the heretical giant knights disperse.

"It's all scattered, this lord is a friend of the church."

"He used to help us."

The Raven Holy Maiden spoke in person, and the heretical giant knights naturally would not disobey, and they disbanded the formation one after another, detoured to the rear of Sapphire on both sides, and re-lined up.

Zong Shen could feel that the hostility of those heretical giant knights instantly decreased, and their previous behavior was full of aggression.

"My Lady of Saintess personally led the team this time, did you encounter any trouble?"

"If Lady Saintess needs me, please speak up."

After the hostility was lifted, Zong Shen did not continue to investigate, but only explored the purpose of her going out this time by asking Saffrey if she needed help.

As the war draws near, Zong Shen is also very concerned about the current situation of Odo Village, especially the situation of the Church of Calamity Raven.

The church side chose to garrison the hard-hitting crusade in situ, so it must have a certain degree of confidence and confidence.

As the church executive and commander of this operation, Saint Sapphire must have the core secrets.

As long as Zong Shen has some fur clues, he can directly dig deeper through the strategy tips.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Saint Sapphire's face was embarrassed.

She led the team on this trip not because of some secret mission, but simply because of the strong people. Whether it is the aborigines or the lords, they came to capture one and bring them back to Odo Village to work.

In the past few days, they have encountered some small troubles, been attacked by some lords, and robbed a small number of farmers. These guys don't know what lords are or not, and they are all classified as mysterious forces.

These mysterious forces are cunning and cunning, with a large number of people. They launched night raids several times. Although some of them were killed by the soldiers of the church, they really succeeded in their raid once and robbed about a hundred villagers.

This has made the labor force in Odo Village stretched, and recently, many fortifications have been temporarily added, so solving the labor problem has become the first problem that the church in Odo Village needs to solve.

All the people passing through Odo Village are their targets of looting. If the labor force is not enough, they are ready to go to other nearby villages to rob people.

However, this kind of blatant looting of the population is still not suitable for speaking out in person.

"Well... there's no big deal, it's just going out for patrol."

"And what about your lord? Is there anything we can help you with?"

Sapphire changed the conversation and threw the question back to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen scolded the little fox secretly when he heard Sapphire's answer.

When she answered, Zong Shen had already inquired about the strategy tips, and learned about the lack of manpower in Odo Village. When he learned that the lords had kidnapped more than 100 farmers, he couldn't help but sigh the courageous people. Still a lot.

It was obviously a premeditated cooperative action, but I don't know how many people were happy and how many people were sad. More than 100 farmers, thinking about Zong Shen's mouth is drooling.

Odo Village was the wool he ordered, but now someone else forcibly licked it first, which made him somewhat unhappy.

Don't the members of the Calamity Raven Church know to be careful?

Zong Shen groaned in his heart for a while, but there was nothing else he wanted to say to Sapphire.

He just waved his hand calmly.

"I'm just out on patrol."

"Since the Holy Maiden has nothing to do, then I will not disturb you to continue patrolling."

Zong Shen decisively made an excuse and wanted to lead the team away.

He was going to continue westward, hunting the crypt monsters along the way, while taking a look at Odo Village.

Although he met Sapphire the Raven Saint on the way, he still wanted to check the situation.

"Sir, please wait..."

Saffrey shouted suddenly, and Zong Shen looked at her suspiciously.

"I see that you are heading west, and there is a good chance that you will encounter other church warriors."

"Here is my token. If you encounter obstacles from the church soldiers along the way, show them the token."

After Sapphire finished speaking, she took out a long black feather from the sleeve of the saintess robe she was wearing and gave it to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen heard the words and glanced at the black feather.

[Sapphire's token (special)]

【A Raven Feather with Sapphire's Breath】

(With this Raven Feather, those church warriors will not intercept you, even if you enter Odo Village, unless you are trying to enter a critical area)

Seeing this feather, Zong Shen's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded his thanks.

"Thank you for the token of the saint, just as we are going to go to the west to see."

Zong Shen took the feather, and with this thing, Zong Shen's plan has another layer of cover.

The Raven Saint smiled sweetly, and her amorous feelings burst forth. She is also a beautiful woman, with both talent and beauty. She is also a high-ranking church member and a saint. She has a cold temperament, but the smile at this time makes the two of them feel good. The sense of alienation subsided a lot.

[The Raven Saint Sapphire's favorability for you has increased by 5 points, and the current favorability point is 25 points (a general friendship)]

The favorability level has increased by 5 points, but it can still only be regarded as a level of familiarity.

"If you have the opportunity in the future, you can come to the Jackdaw Valley in the north as a guest."

"Just rely on this token."

After Sapphire finished speaking, she also turned over to the back of the heavy armored Sharma, put her arms around the waist of the giant heretic knight in the lead, blinked at Zong Shen, and led the team away to the east. .

It's not known how many hapless lords will be their "trophies" along the way.

After Sapphire sent the token, she seemed to be in a better mood and left gracefully.

Zong Shen was holding the Raven Feather in his hand, and after watching the Raven Saint Sapphire leave, he continued to move forward with his soldiers.

There are still more than 20 kilometers away from Odo Village. Sapphire's hand is longer than before this time. Zong Shen only hopes that this guy will not take away the members of his legion, and don't go oh Hositano Village.

However, Zong Shen is obviously overthinking it. Even if the combat effectiveness of ordinary village-level units is poor, there are still some first-order militia soldiers.

And there are still so many villagers, just relying on the second team of heretical giant knights, it is really not necessarily able to overcome such a large gap in the number of people. Back then, the Church of Calamity Ravens brought a team of hundreds of people to achieve this. Easily take down Odo Village.

So Sapphire has no idea of ​​occupying other villages, but although these troops are not enough to capture Sitano Village, they are more than enough for harassment and looting.

Zong Shen shook his head and threw the messy thoughts out of his head. He couldn't stop Sapphire's actions. This area was so big, maybe she would go home if she caught one or two lords in the east. .

Zong Shen rode on Bajie, still took out the weight-bearer mecha, and let the wolf cavalry team sweep the tail in the rear to remove the traces left by the weight-bearer mecha, and at the same time alert the surrounding situation.

No way, only the load-bearing mecha can satisfy the travel of the exploration team without riding a horse.

Although it is somewhat risky to use the weight-bearer mech near Odo Village, as long as you handle it carefully, there should be no major problem.
