Chapter 51: Turns Out He Is One of Our Own
After easily getting rid of the pursuing troops, we quickly arrived at the castle of Haglos and the others. However, Haglos and the others obviously knew nothing about this matter. They were quite surprised to see me suddenly running back with Louise, but When I heard that a large army was moving here, I immediately became nervous.
"No one knows about us here for so long. Why did someone attack us as soon as we made contact with the Dark Temple?" The Roswell Guard Captain was obviously a very suspicious person. Although he did not say this clearly, The meaning is obvious, that is, they suspect that these people are Ditans' people, and they suspect that Ditans wants to deal with them.
The Great Demon King Hagros was about to explain when he was interrupted: "It shouldn't be Ditans. He is the Lord God of Darkness, and your soul marks are all in the core of the divine power of the Dark Temple. If we really want to deal with you, there are many ways, and there is no need to send such an army. Besides, the other party is coming in the wrong direction."
"The direction is wrong?" Attendant Clydia suddenly asked: "Are they coming from the southwest?" I was quite surprised when I heard this. Attendant Clydia knew which way the enemy was coming from before I told her. Yes, but I understood the next sentence. "The enemy must be people from the Temple of Light. People from the Temple of Darkness need to pass through the national barrier if they want to come to our place. Although there is a way to get around it, it is very troublesome. It is impossible for too many people to come. Even if the Lord God Titans really wants to deal with us, he will definitely It’s a small number of elites, not as many people as President Ziri has seen.”
"Temple of Light?" Although I understood the meaning of Cledia's attendant's judgment. But I was quite surprised. After all, the relationship between the Temple of Light and us is a bit like half a subordinate organization. No, it cannot be regarded as a subordinate organization, it should be said to be an affiliated unit. Of course, the original Temple of Light was relatively powerful and did not need to be affiliated with any force. However, since the two goddesses of light split and divided the Temple of Light into the new school and the old school, the overall strength of the Temple of Light has been ranked 51st. It turned out that Zhang was killed by one of his own. It wasn't even folded in half, it just fell down a lot.
It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the strength of the Temple of Light is reduced, it should still be a very powerful force in the region, but this is not the case now. The Temple of Light is indeed very powerful. It had been suppressing the Temple of Darkness in the beginning, and the Holy See of Jehovah was even more afraid to move. But the problem is that now they are divided. After the Light Temple's strength was weakened, it was severely suppressed by the Dark Temple. If it hadn't been affiliated with me, the Dark Temple would have swallowed up the Light Temple long ago. This is just one of the reasons why the Temple of Light insists on finding the front of our guild. Another reason is internal pressure.
The disintegration of the Temple of Light can be said to be directly related to our guild. It is not too much to say that our guild split the Temple of Light in half. Just like the places where the Americans have fought, they will always support a force that is close to us. This is the reason that everyone can think of. Our guild has spent so much effort to destroy the Temple of Light and fell apart. Don’t we know how to support a force that is close to us? power? The problem is that the goddesses of light on both sides know that they are now in dire straits. Only by hugging the thighs of our Frost Rose Alliance can they have any hope of defeating the other side. Therefore, both sides are now willing to show their kindness to me without any hesitation, just to get support. A little more than the other person.
The Temple of Light is indeed divided. But this time did not last long, and there was no obvious gap among the people under his command. It's just that the upper-level forces on both sides are different, and it's not a conflict of faith like the Dark Temple. so. Both goddesses of light thought that they only needed to defeat each other, because as soon as the other party fell, the remaining people of the other party would inevitably return to their side, and then the Temple of Light would be resurrected. Although the reintegrated Temple of Light will inevitably be weaker than before, at that time it was at least internally unified and had enough strength to withstand external pressure. Even our Frost Rose Alliance no longer needs to look at it.
Precisely because they understand the truth, both sides are now following our Frost Rose Alliance's words, fearing that we will suddenly lead to the other side.
"If the other party is really a force from the Temple of Light, it would be easier to handle." Although I was surprised that the other party might be a force from the Temple of Light, it would be easier to handle if this matter was really done by them. The only question is whether this was done by Philindil's people or Marilyn's people.
The Great Demon King Hagros and others looked at me in surprise when they heard what I said. Finally, Captain Roswell couldn't help but asked: "Do you have people in the Temple of Light? I heard that the Temple of Light has split into There are two parts, which one do you know?"
"I know both sides, but now I don't know which side this person is from. It's really hard to handle."
"Why?" Louise was relatively simple and didn't understand the reason.
Cledia explained helpfully: "Because if one of the parties did this, it must have been hidden from the other party. If President Ziri asks the wrong person, it will be tantamount to exposing the matter. In this way It would be a harm to the other side. If you want the other side to retreat, you have to ask for help. If you ask for help, you have to hurt them first. How can you ask for help?"
Louise understood as soon as she heard this, and then asked anxiously: "But we have to help here! President, you must help Sister Hagros!"
"I will help you even if you don't tell me this. Otherwise, why would I come back?"
“But now I don’t know where the people are from, how can I persuade them to stop?”
I thought for a while and said: "Actually, this matter is simple and simple."
"Huh? What should I say?" Demon King Hargros asked aloud. (This chapter was uploaded by a friend) She is very anxious now. After all, the Dark Temple has just recognized their identity. Something happened less than a day after they came back. What do you think Ditans will think?
Hearing the question from the Great Demon King Hargros, I said, "I definitely can't ask about the situation at the Temple of Light, but if I don't ask them, can I tell them myself?"
"Huh? Let them speak for themselves?"
I nodded and said: "There are not just one or two people who know me at the Temple of Light. It's impossible for such a secret operation to be all small soldiers, right? There must be senior personnel commanding it. I want to be able to command an operation of this level. The opponent's level is definitely high enough to know my situation. As long as I let him see me, the opponent will definitely not attack me."
After hearing this, the Great Demon King Hargros and the Attendant Clydia thought this method was good. However, this is a major accident after all. Even if I guarantee that I can handle this matter, they cannot really throw it away. Give me. It's like if a country said to another country: "As long as someone attacks you, I will help you kill that country." But even if that country really has that strength, does this small country really dare to hand over its own national defense? They didn't make any effort at all? Therefore, although the Great Demon King Hargros and others believe that I can do it, they still feel that it is necessary to take precautions.
Their discussion on how to defend had nothing to do with me. I just said hello to the Great Demon King Hargros and the others, and then I left here and rushed to the direction of that army.
Naturally, the marching speed of a large army cannot be fast, let alone this is a forest. Moreover, it is a fairy tale forest with monsters running all over the place, and so many people cannot get around it even if they want to. We can only fight all the way over. Naturally, this speed cannot be increased.
When I went back to the Great Demon King Hagros and his companions, they were riding flying birds. It didn’t take long to come back and forth. When I rediscovered this troop, they were still not far from where we had encountered them before.
The flying creatures that were chasing me before stopped chasing after seeing us flying away. The situation in the sky was relatively simple. The speed of the flying birds was clear at a glance. When the other party saw our speed, they knew that chasing us would be in vain, so they simply returned. . By the time I get back, there won't be a single flying creature in sight in the sky.
"Damn it. That guy in the sky is here again." I was discovered as soon as I arrived above this unit. Asuka is indeed fast, but he is not a stealth fighter. There is no need to consider concealment or anything like that. There are so many troops below, and they were just discovered by me from the sky. They were keeping an eye on the sky. Of course, I was immediately discovered as soon as I appeared.
Several air cavalrymen heard the shouts of the observers and began to climb on their mounts without waiting for the commander's order. The creatures that looked like Archaeopteryx were obviously impatient. Before the knights had even climbed up, they had already begun to grab the ones next to them. The trunk climbed up to the treetop.
The reason why these guys can fly up from the forest floor depends on their ability to climb trees. The forests in the game are not like in reality. The forests here are almost all extremely primitive forests. Those big trees can easily grow to 70 or 80 meters high. The trees are very close to each other. The branches are stacked and nested between the trees, densely blocking the sky of the entire forest. This kind of place does not mean that you can fly if you know how to fly. Of course it's okay for a giant dragon to just ram it out like an aerial tank without caring about anything, but the question is whether any creature has the terrifying defense and power of a giant dragon. The physical strength of most flying creatures is not as good as that of ground creatures. After all, flying requires lightweighting, and the cost of lightweighting is a decrease in body strength. After all, there are only a few abnormal creatures like giant dragons, so ordinary creatures fall to the forest floor. It would be difficult to fly again, unless you are small enough to shuttle between the branches of trees, but these Archaeopteryx-like creatures are all huge, not to mention between the branches, just between the tree trunks on the ground. They sometimes have to make appropriate detours. But these guys also have their own methods. Although they are not as perverted as the giant dragon and can force their way out of the branches with brute force, they have their own method, which is to climb trees.
Branches are not very hard, and most monsters can easily break them. The reason why flying creatures are blocked by branches is because they cannot flap their wings freely between the branches, so they cannot fly. It does not mean that they can't break them. branches. But climbing trees is different. As long as you go up the big tree, the branches will become sparser and sparse, and when the distance between the trees is widened, a blank area will appear. As long as they see enough space, these big guys will jump into this blank area and then After flapping its wings a few times, it took off.
I was looking for a place in the sky where I could go down to look for their leader, but I saw the trees below shaking, followed by several Archaeopteryx-like creatures rising into the sky and chasing me.
"Damn, do I have a grudge against you? Do you deserve to keep a close eye on me?" He looked at the Archaeopteryx flying below. I didn't run away, but did the opposite, collected the flying bird, and then smashed it into the forest below.
As soon as the flying knights below took off on their mounts, they saw something like a bomb falling into the forest. They were so depressed that they were going crazy. Their mounts were too big and it was very difficult to get on and off them. It took a lot of effort to fly up, but they didn't expect to get off again. It would be strange not to be depressed.
Several people over there were hesitating whether to go down immediately. Suddenly they heard a burst of shouting and fighting below. They couldn't think about it anymore and had to command their mounts to sneak into the forest again.
Just as the air cavalry above was preparing to return, I had broken through the dense tree branches and landed on the forest floor below. The group below was originally waiting to see if the air cavalry could stop me this time. Unexpectedly, suddenly A person fell down from the top. Landed directly in the middle of the team. This time the gang was in chaos. They were on a secret mission, and it would be embarrassing to be discovered once. Someone actually fell into the middle of the team. If someone runs away again, he will definitely be sent by the goddess to work as a doorman in a temple in the countryside.
As soon as I landed on the ground, I saw the people around me were stunned for a moment, and then a large row of weapons were handed over to me. I had to take a step back and hit a big tree, but the other party showed no intention of stopping. , the weapon was immediately forwarded again, forcing me to jump onto the tree. As a result, more than half of the tree trunk under my feet was cut off by the sword energy in an instant.
I came to the person in charge here to persuade them to retreat. Of course, I can't just kill them when they come up. It would be inconvenient to talk if this was the person who killed them.
Since you can't hurt anyone. After I jumped on the branch, I simply couldn't get down. Anyway, the branches crisscrossed the trees like a trail. It was much more convenient to run back and forth directly on the branches than below.
When the group of people below saw me climbing up the tree, they naturally couldn't let me run around above their heads. However, although the people here are still elite, most of them are orthodox professions such as knights, and they can do things like climbing trees quickly. It doesn't matter if it's too low. When the time comes, the enemy won't need to cut you. You can knock yourself half to death as long as you step on the air. Therefore, even though they knew they couldn't let me run around above their heads, not many of them really caught up with me.
Those who climbed the tree were not ordinary people. They were either talented people with extremely high attributes, and even if they were not agile, they could still meet the needs of fighting and walking on the branches, or they were high-agility personnel such as full-time assassins. After these people got into the tree, they all chased me. Suddenly I saw people jumping up and down among the branches. It felt like a large group of monkeys were migrating.
Because I couldn't really fight them, I didn't stop to deal with these guys, so I led them back and forth over the team. In fact, I was looking for their leader.
In fact, if such a big thing happened, it was impossible for the team leader not to be involved, so I quickly discovered the other party. To be precise, I didn't discover him, but he discovered me. According to the report of his subordinates, the leader of this team quickly ran over from the front of the team. When he heard that I had climbed a tree, he naturally followed him immediately. As a result, he finally found me after running for a long time.
"Everyone stop it!"
Just like I guessed, the person leading this kind of action will definitely not be a rookie, but must be a senior person. Not all the people in the Temple of Light know about me in the Temple of Light. After all, the Temple of Light is also about face. No one would make the world laugh about hugging someone else's lap. Those who really do this must have something wrong with their heads. of. However, the soldiers and generals below did not know that the middle and high-level people in the temple must know the inside story, and the person leading the team in front of them happened to be a person who met the middle-level and high-level standards.
Hearing the leader's roar, all the people chasing me over there stopped immediately. I saw that they stopped naturally. Although I didn’t know that guy, when he arrived, instead of organizing people to intercept me, he shouted stop. That must have meant he recognized me, otherwise he should have been the first to rush in.
"President Ziri, don't do it. It's a misunderstanding...a misunderstanding!" After the guy stopped his people, he immediately put on an expression like a traitor in an anti-Japanese movie and ran towards me while shouting.
Seeing the guy stumbling on the branch and running this way, I pointed directly below, and then jumped off the branch. The other guy also landed on the ground knowingly and walked towards me.
"President Ziri, why are you here?" This guy is obviously a very capable master. He asked me as soon as he came to me, and his tone was as if we were familiar with each other.
"Whose subordinate are you?"
The other party was stunned by my directness, but he quickly reacted and quickly explained: "We are the subordinates of the goddess Philindil."
"People from Philindil." I said first, and then asked: "Are you going to clear out the heretics in that valley?" The guy was about to ask how you knew, but when he spoke, he said He held it back, then looked at me doubtfully, and didn't say anything after thinking for a long time. I knew what he was worried about when I saw him like this, so I said directly: "I'll ask Felindil and she'll still have to tell you. Do you think she will hide it from me?"
My words are definitely a trap. People who accidentally fall to death don’t know how they died.
I asked him if he thought Philindil would hide something from me. If he answered yes, he thought that Philindil was hiding something from me. Who am I now? I am the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, and the Frost Rose Alliance is the backer of the Temple of Light. Now Philindil is hiding something from me. What is going on? What are the reasons for independence? and. This guy is Philindil's subordinate. He said that Philindil was trying to hide the truth from me. Doesn't that mean you're suing your boss over the top? Who can tolerate this kind of thing from you? If he could take the opportunity of defeating Philindil to climb up and obtain actual benefits. That's okay, but the problem is that it's impossible for him to get such an opportunity.
Although the Temple of Light is affiliated under the name of our Frost Rose Alliance, they are still an independent organization. Our management of the Temple of Light is also laissez-faire. We only give directional opinions on special matters and will not directly interfere with their actions. . In other words, this guy even flatters me. It won't do him any good either, because I can't possibly bring him to our Frost Rose Alliance. It is even more impossible to replace Philindil and make him the main god for this reason.
You can tell from this that all he has to do is nod and say yes. Then basically his life is over. Of course, if you shake your head, it just suits me. My purpose is to know what they are here for. If he denies it and thinks that Philindil will not hide it from me, then he himself will not be able to hide it from me. Even his immediate boss, Philindil, didn't intend to hide it from me. If he dared to hide it, then he could only tell me their purpose.
Therefore, what I said is a trap. No matter he nods or shakes his head, he will actually fall into the trap. It's just that one is deceived by me into the truth of the matter, and the other is throwing his own future into the trap.
Fortunately, this guy reacted very quickly and immediately realized that he must not nod, otherwise it would be useless no matter what he said. After thinking about it, he decided that it didn’t matter if he told me. Anyway, I had already guessed it myself, so he simply said: "President Ziri, you are right, we went to that valley to clean up the heretics. However, you suddenly appeared. Is there something going on here? Do you also want to participate in the cleanup work? "
"Purge you big-headed devil." After the other party confirmed the purpose, I immediately scolded: "Where did you get the information? You actually put your idea on my head? Those people are all my friends, and you will purge them as you say. ?”
"Ah? This, this, this... I don't know about this!" The guy said innocently and frightenedly: "The goddess just asked me to bring people here to clear out a gathering place of heretics, and then gave a rough outline of the enemy. Information, I don’t know anything else!”
"Okay, okay." Seeing that this guy was about to cry, I quickly interrupted him and said, "This is not a big deal in the first place. You haven't started the cleanup yet. The mistake hasn't happened yet, and it's still too late to remedy it. Bring us immediately. Those who come to you must return to the Temple of Light and do not touch my friend’s place again.”
"Ah?" Although he knew that I couldn't move, the guy was still stunned for a moment when he heard my words, and then looked at me very embarrassed. I understand what he means. Philindil asked him to lead people to eliminate the heretics, but he ran out for a walk and went back without doing anything. What do you think Philindil would think of him? Although after he went back and analyzed the situation to Philindil, Philindil might also think that he did the right thing, but as the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The Lord God is much more powerful than the King, so working for the Lord God is definitely better than accompanying him. It is much more dangerous for tigers to spend the night. Although there seems to be a reason for this, it really depends on Philindil's mood. If Philindil is in a bad mood and says you are guilty, you are guilty, and you have violated military orders. This kind of crime cannot be ignored, and then you will be in big trouble.
Understanding his dilemma, I didn't intend to make things difficult for him, and said directly: "That's it. You order your people to rest where they are, and then you go back with me to see Philindil, and I'll ask Philindil to give it to you. Give the order to withdraw the troops, and you can come back and take them back when the time comes. Is that okay?"
The guy looked worried just now, but now he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away."
Seeing that he was running to arrange troops, I was not idle. I walked around the nearby teams a few times to confirm the strength of these people, and then ran to take a special look at the creatures that looked like Archaeopteryx.
The reason why I want to observe these people is to find out the combat effectiveness level of this unit. The fact that this unit can be sent out to do work definitely belongs to Philindil's secret power, and being able to master more information about Philindil will also be beneficial to our control of her in the future. Therefore, information such as the combat effectiveness of these troops is very useful.
After the guy arranged for the team to rest, I also learned about the general situation of the team, and then we left the forest together and returned to the headquarters of the Temple of Light from the air.
Some of the guards at the Temple of Light headquarters knew me, and of course some didn't, but the man next to me was a big shot here, and all the guards knew him. I followed him, and the guards naturally didn't say anything.
Philindil naturally has complete control over information in his temple. As soon as I walked through the hall, I saw Philindil taking the initiative to greet me. After she saw me, she first saluted me, and then started to signal to the guy next to her with her eyes, trying to find out from him why he suddenly ran back and came back with me.
That guy was also a human spirit. As soon as he saw Philindil's eyes, he immediately began to explain: "Filindil Lord God, it's like this. Our action team met President Ziri when they were about to reach the target location. After that, we I learned from President Ziri that the people living in that valley are actually friends of President Ziri. So..."
Who is Philindil? Now that we have said it all, of course we understand. But that guy is also a bad guy. He didn't say that my team was discovered by me, but that I came to him after we got close to the target. This shied away from his own responsibility. Originally, they were operating in secret, and it was his responsibility to expose the target halfway. But if he was discovered when he arrived at the target location, he would have no responsibility. After all, you were already there, so of course you would be discovered before attacking. Just by moving the place where we met slightly forward, this guy picked himself clean. He is indeed a talent.
Philindil obviously didn't notice the other party's little trick because she was considering other more important information. The content of the report from her subordinates was very clear, that is, the people she originally planned to deal with were my people, and she could not touch these people. If you want to touch them, you have to turn against me. When he thought of the consequences, Philindil immediately made a decision. (To be continued.
