Chapter 1162: Canduras Needs to Make a Choice!
After Johanna left the High Heaven with Aidan and Leoric, they did not go to a certain place.
They just stopped at a barren land surrounded by mountains!
"Are you going back to Khanduras or going to Harrogath with me?"
Johanna turned around and asked Aidan and Leoric who were a little embarrassed behind her.
They were dragged to this place by the warhorse, although Johanna did not deliberately hurt them when dragging.
But this experience is really not good.
"I can probably imagine what it was like for the demon that you dragged and was ground into pieces.
Perhaps this is more desperate than facing Lacanos."
Aidan let out a long breath, and then sorted out his image.
The speed of Johanna's driving the God's Warhorse is a bit insufficient to be described as lightning speed. At that speed, even a strong person like Aidan felt a strong discomfort.
"Haha, I have to wait a while before I can act.
At least until my broken ankle recovers."
Leoric's tone was not without sarcasm.
He is not as strong as Aidan, even if Johanna did not intend to hurt them.
Leoric still suffered some injuries in the process.
The damage suffered by the warhorse during the dragging process is largely caused by the terrain.
If it is just a simple drag, then this move is more like a means of torturing the enemy rather than a decisive move.
"I didn't spread caltrops on the road I walked."
Johanna said helplessly.
"It seems that all this is not as beautiful as you imagined, right?"
Aidan asked suddenly.
His question made Johanna stunned for a moment.
"Are you talking about the high-level heaven?"
Johanna's tone was a little doubtful, and she didn't understand what Aidan was talking about.
"Of course.
In the past, the High Heavens once became the only hope for humans when facing the threat of demons.
But we all know that the angels did not destroy the demons for us.
This is just a necessity in their existence, and we as beneficiaries are actually just an accident.
Even before the Nephalem appeared, who could really shake their position, they looked down on us."
Aidan said with some deepness.
"Aidan, did you have such an idea a long time ago or was it because of the influence of the authority of justice!
If it is the former, you are not worthy of your legendary life!"
Johanna frowned.
Johanna did not quite understand Aidan's performance.
Aidan did not look like a guy who would think like this!
As a hero, if he puts his hopes on other beings.
Then his will is definitely not indestructible!
And Aidan's will is among the best among all the known Nephalem!
Even if he was eventually corrupted by Diablo's will, it was not easy to maintain his self in that situation!
At least the blind nuns who guarded the Dark Soul Stone back then did not act like Aidan after being corrupted!
"I just have some feelings.
Now I plan to return to Khanduras!
The Nephalem cannot have only the Holy Mountain of Harrogath!
If a full-scale war breaks out, then Harrogath should be the last pure land.
Instead of directly becoming the front line for angels and demons to fight against Nephalem."
Aidan said so.
"I don't mind Khanduras becoming the first line of defense against demons.
It's just that the number of Nephalem is still too small.
And the time we exist in this world is too short.
If everything goes to the worst situation, Khanduras can't even share much responsibility for Nephalem."
Leoric said.
He didn't mean to oppose Aidan.
He was just stating a simple truth!
"Do you know what the authority of justice really means to Nephalem?"
Aidan said, looking at his father who had changed a lot.
He respected his father, but he also hated the mad king!
Aidan's emotions were always a bit complicated when facing Leoric.
Although he knew that it was not Leoric's fault that Khanduras had reached that point of destruction.
It can even be said that in the situation Leoric faced at that time, there were not many Nephalem who could do better than Leoric.
"Paladin."
Johanna said this word with some indifference!
There are also differences between Templar Knights and Paladins!
Templar Knights exist more as a kind of guard, they guard their beliefs.
Paladins are another kind of existence, their beliefs are themselves.
So compared with Templar Knights, the probability of Paladins being corrupted is also greater!
To corrupt Templar Knights, just destroy the things that their beliefs are placed on.
But most Templar Knights will die before the demons complete this step.
Paladins only need to shake their beliefs, and they may harvest a powerful corrupted Paladin.
The difficulty between the two is also completely different.
And if you want to make the Paladin profession reappear, it requires a little guidance!
After all, the Paladins who can truly turn their will into faith have already stepped into the realm of legend.
Before that, they need a reason and a firm belief to fight on!
For the current situation of the Nephalem, there is no better belief than justice as this enlightenment.
Pursuing justice is not always bad, even if there are guys who always make trade-offs for justice.
That is better than guys who indulge themselves recklessly.
"Kanduras already has the Necromancer's Enlightenment Book left by Lasma.
Are you going to let the Necromancer apprentices and Paladin apprentices in Kanduras fight each other?"
Leoric asked.
Necromancers are indeed not very popular guys.
Although their position has not been loosened at all.
But that kind of fighting style has already made normal people feel uncomfortable.
Although Necromancers are rich in handsome men and beautiful women, their reputation among the crowd is even similar to that of the seemingly ugly witch doctors.
After all, some people are not afraid of insects, toads and bats.
But he shuddered at the living skeletons and the souls of the dead.
Although the Paladins who could step into the legend could distinguish the positions of the necromancers.
But the apprentices influenced by justice might not be able to do so.
It is not a bad thing to insist on justice, but it is easy to go astray if you are superstitious about justice.
"I am there, I am justice itself now."
Aidan said like a sigh.
Leoric instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he could not give any reason for a while.
"Tyrael has lost the most important judgment in the authority of justice. I don't think you can fully represent justice.
Don't forget, the justice you can do is something abandoned by a barbarian named Rorschach!"
Johanna said very seriously.
Her words were unpleasant to hear, but there was no malice.
"I have no intention of discussing with you the actions of the barbarian named Rorschach.
It's just that he has his reasons, and I have my persistence.
Sometimes we need some foolish persistence, without thinking about the cause and effect, just a rush of blood."
Aidan looked at Johanna carefully, he was particularly serious, maybe this was the most serious time since he revived.
Perhaps only when he chose to embed the dark soul stone that sealed Diablo into his head was he as serious as he was now.
"Aidan, who is so excited, what are your other plans?
It's not a bad thing to have a preliminary idea and be determined to stick to it, but it doesn't do much good for what you are going to do.
Do you have a preliminary candidate?
Do you have a training plan?"
Johanna asked.
She never likes to act without a plan when her head is hot!
In Johanna's view, before things come to a point where it is too late to make plans, you should think more about it.
For example, how to complete your plan step by step.
Or where to start the action.
"I am the prince of Khanduras, although it may be irresponsible to say so.
But I think there are many smart people in Khanduras who can make a careful plan based on my initial idea."
Aidan looked at Johanna without giving in.
Leoric felt that the atmosphere was a bit bad at this time.
Once things reach a stalemate, it will be very troublesome!
For the Nephalem, a stalemate will soon turn into a battle.
The winner moves on, and the loser will naturally be unable to stop.
But Leoric does not want Aidan to fight Johanna!
Aidan is very strong, and it is certain that he is stronger than Johanna at this time!
But Johanna is not a simple armed hedgehog!
Any crusader with the name of Johanna is a guy that most beings are unwilling to face!
The power of thorns has been developed by Johanna to a degree that is even a little scary!
The strength of Johanna's opponent and Johanna's own vitality will not be exactly the same!
Johanna even used her stronger vitality to defeat countless demons in a rough way by sharing the same injuries!
But what really made all beings avoid Johanna was the soul connection!
The essence of the soul is equally noble for all beings!
And the real trump card of Johanna is to transform the competition of vitality into the consumption of souls!
It can be said that any existence that gave Johanna a fatal attack can disappear with the other party as long as Johanna is willing!
This is the reason why the archangels seemed helpless when facing Johanna!
The essence of the soul was severely damaged or even disappeared, although an archangel with a similar image and even the same name would be born.
But that is not the original one!
Even with the same memory and the same behavior.
But it is different after all!
"Johanna, I want to invite you to Canduras.
As a protector of those ordinary people and as a mentor of the paladins."
Leoric's voice was even a little weak.
He didn't know whether his decision would be effective.
But he was willing to do anything to prevent a fight between Aidan and Johanna!
"I refuse."
Johanna said.
She habitually shifted her gaze while speaking.
This made Leoric feel much more relaxed.
It was a good thing to interrupt the eye contact, although he had now become the one in Johanna's eyes.
But Leoric would not mind bowing his head.
Johanna's threat to him was the same.
Although the Skeleton King was immortal, Leoric could not!
If his soul essence was also completely worn out, there would only be a truly crazy Skeleton King.
"Then what about separating the positions of the necromancers and paladins?
If only Canduras existed to share the pressure of Harrogath, it would obviously be better to have multiple places to share the pressure.
Maybe we can find more places in this world to build fortresses.
Just like Sescheron back then."
Leoric said again.
There shouldn't be only one line of defense.
Although there is only one line of defense that can concentrate all forces to face difficulties.
But when the crisis comes, there is not even time to think!
Although the former Sanctuary was also harassed by demons everywhere, the degree of danger in the front and rear is obviously different.
Even the complex underground palaces of the fortresses on the front line are full of demons!
And if you are lucky, you only need a cellar to hide in the villages behind until the demons leave.
"The demons are not stupid!
The most magnificent fortresses in those days have been breached!
They will find a way.
But I agree with you. We need more than just Canduras."
Johanna said.
When Johanna said this, Leoric even had the illusion that he was sweating coldly on his head.
"Canduras needs power, but only one necromancer and paladin can be kept."
Johanna said.
This is suspected of dispersing the power of the Nephalem.
But it is indeed a kind of protection!
The Nephalems have to consider the possibility that the recruits they trained were wiped out by the demons!
So the inheritance of the Crusaders has become the current scattered model of passing down from generation to generation.
After the mages have a certain strength, they will leave the Xiansai Academy and spread all over the world!
The demon hunters have become countless strongholds!
Even the barbarians and witch doctors who were bound by blood ties, they also split into multiple tribes.
Even though many of these tribes have completely died out, the barbarians and witch doctors still exist!
Spreading the seeds is undoubtedly a form of protection.
"If it were me, I would choose the necromancer.
Although I am not the king of the skeletons, it is still a good experience to command a large number of skeletons."
Leoric told his somewhat outdated joke.
"I choose the Paladin!"
Aidan said decisively!
He did not make the same choice as his father!
He simply chose the Paladin as the power of Canduras unswervingly!
"Before encountering possible corruption, the Paladins can undoubtedly bring more hope!
For ordinary people, even if they are protected by the Necromancer, they will be afraid of the protectors!
But the Paladin will not, the Paladin will make them relax!
Canduras needs Paladins, especially when most of the residents of Canduras are criminals!
The Paladin can better influence them!"
Aidan gave his reasons.
Leoric seemed to want to say something, but finally gave up.
He still couldn't be cruel when facing Aidan!
Aidan paid even more for Khanduras than Leoric!
