Chapter 198 The Female Marshal of the Kingdom

The old man in front of him had a kind attitude and did not have the aura of someone in a high position. While he was speaking, the armored woman who had her back to the door also turned around and looked at this side curiously. Hao Ren He found that this was a woman who was much younger than he expected. She looked about twenty-five years old, with fair skin and beautiful appearance, but there was also a faint heroic air in her facial features, as if she had been on the battlefield for a long time. It is not just a flower stand with a beautiful appearance.

When Betsy saw the big shot, she instinctively became a little nervous. She quickly folded her hands in front of her chest to make a special gesture and then bowed deeply. Her voice was hard: "Hello, Mr. Rector, I am Betsy. I am the second grader." Super mercenary, from Rumbell Town, that... ah, there is an important intelligence report!"

"Don't be nervous, I heard," the Rector of Gelton waved his hand to signal Betsy not to be polite. He glanced at the people behind Betsy curiously and found that these people were neither saluting nor nervous, but With a subtle sense of alienation, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but he didn't say anything. He just turned to Betsy and said the key point, "You just came down from the mountain? Do you know about those giants?" ?”

Betsy nodded quickly: "Yes...yes! We saw that they split from a peak south of the ancient mountain road!"

"Split from the mountain peak?" The old man's eyebrows trembled, and a gleam of surprise flashed through his cloudy eyes, "What method of splitting? Tell me the details."

Although Betsy usually seemed carefree and fearless, she was a commoner after all, and a commoner with a deep-rooted sense of awe for the Huiyao Sect. It was the first time in her life that she jumped away from a big shot like the rector. Unable to get up, he quickly told the old man in front of him exactly what he had seen in the mountains, and also mentioned the previous battle at the eastern foot of the mountain range.

"You killed three stone giants? They seem very powerful." The old man looked at the few motley crews around Hao Ren who didn't even have weapons or armor in surprise. He couldn't feel much of the evil spirit of warriors from these people. They didn't even look like skilled mercenaries, but this group of people could quickly find a way to kill that difficult stone giant in their first contact, which surprised him, "Are you also a mercenary group?"

Lily jumped up on the spot: "A good reputation makes a dog become a servant..."

Hao Ren had already restrained the girl immediately, but he was still unable to turn the tide. Lily's action was too strong.

The old rector sighed: "Today's mercenaries... are becoming more and more outrageous. When I was young, I had many silver hands, silver fists, and silver eyes. Now it has become a rare name. Young people these days are really famous. No. Too little attention."

Hao Ren muttered: "The good name is taken by others. Why don't you say that the last mercenary group in the Silver series is the Knees of Silver."

"We just saw the situation outside the town." Vivian didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore and took the initiative to divert everyone's attention. "We also encountered an attack here? How is the situation?"

"The Knights suffered some casualties during the two attacks, but after finding the weaknesses of the giants, they were able to successfully repel them." The old man did not hide the situation here, and gave an overview of what happened this afternoon. Hao Ren said Only then did I realize that the stone giants immediately attacked the town at the foot of the mountain after splitting from the cliff, and attacked twice in a row.

The first attack took place three hours ago. About an hour after the loud noise came from the mountains, more than a dozen stone giants rushed out of the mountain road in front of the town. Most of the casualties of the Knights were there. generated during the first attack. The powerful combat capabilities of those monsters are secondary. The most difficult thing is that they can continuously regenerate as long as they touch the ground. No one knew this at the beginning, and no one could play with them like Yzaks. The stone giant fiddled with the strong men who studied the weaknesses, so the knights experienced a hard battle, but in the end they repelled the stone giant's offensive after paying a certain amount of casualties.

The second attack occurred an hour ago, not long before Hao Ren and the others arrived in the town. A dozen stone giants still rushed out of the mountain path. However, due to preparations, this attack was easily broken down.

"The situation was sudden and almost caused those monsters to rush into the town," the rector said solemnly. "Fortunately, this is the last checkpoint before the Holy Land. There are many knights stationed there all year round, so no major incident happened."

"Based on the time, those stone giants should have rushed directly towards the town after splitting from the cliff," the young woman who had been talking to the rector had been silent until now, her voice was calm and magnetic. , "Your Excellency, Rector, what do you think of this matter?"

The rector lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The Dragon's Back Mountain Range is a blasphemous thing built by the arrogant magic emperor in ancient times. Every stone on this mountain range is a challenge to the authority of the goddess. What happened to it All visions should be attributed to evil motives, and those stone giants that split from the mountains are undoubtedly full of evil - I think their goal should not be this level, but... Beinz Holy Lake .”

"I think so too," the woman nodded. "The Temple Orb disappeared, something strange happened in the Holy Lake, and then monsters appeared in the Dragon's Back Mountains, and these monsters are now trying to attack the Holy Lake - this series of events It was a clear and planned provocation."

The rector was silent. He didn't like the two obvious words "attack" and "provocation", but the facts before him made it difficult for him to make a strong rebuttal, so in the end he could only nod: "Maybe in ancient times Those sinful souls have not given up yet, they are brewing something..."

The armored woman spoke word by word: "Elokan has declared war on the goddess, Your Excellency the Rector."

“It is too early to call this a holy war,” the rector seemed to insist, “the authority of the goddess is not easily challenged.”

"But the ancient magic emperors did successfully provoke once - we have to respond before they provoke a second time, otherwise there is no guarantee that the goddess will be angry a second time."

The rector was silent for a longer time this time, and in the end he could only wave his hands helplessly: "...Your Excellency Ofra, please remember that certain things are taboo and cannot be mentioned frequently near the holy lake. Even without the Holy Temple Orb, the goddess You can also know what happened in this world. Well, I will consider opening the holy coffin, but at least until three months later, I hope you can report this to His Majesty the King."

"Wise move," the woman known as Ofra nodded, then suddenly remembered that there were others present, and smiled apologetically at Hao Ren and the others, "Sorry, I was busy arguing and neglected you."

Hao Ren was confused by what he heard, and was still stunned at this moment, while Betsy jumped up in surprise: "Wait... wait! Your Excellency Ofra?! You, you... you..."

Ofra crossed her arms and seemed to find Betsy's reaction amusing: "I am Ofra, the marshal of the kingdom, what's wrong?"

Betsy thought for a while, slapped her hands and fainted.

Nangong Wuyue stood nearest, and quickly helped the mercenary girl up with quick eyesight and hands. Betsy opened her eyes dizzily and saw the heroic and legendary heroine still standing in front of her, so she was ready to faint again. Fortunately, Nangong Wuyue hit her face with a water ball covered in ice before she fainted this time.

"Are you so surprised?" Ofra smiled heartily, "I've met many interesting guys, but this is the first time I've seen one with such an intense reaction."

"I, I...I admire you!" Betsy jumped up and wanted to pounce on you, but halfway through the gesture, she nervously retracted her hand, stood up in a nondescript manner, and then began to bow and salute, "Your Excellency, Marshal ...Uh no, your highness...uh no, your majesty..."

"Don't be like this, I'm not a royal family, nor a king," Ofra smiled and waved her hands to hide away, as if the title of His Majesty made her embarrassed, "I heard your name just now, it was Betsy, right? ?You have made great contributions this time and are an excellent mercenary."

Hao Ren couldn't bear it anymore and came behind Betsy and asked softly: "By the way, who is this?"

"How come you don't even know this?!" Betsy stared at Hao Ren as if she was seeing a monster. Then she remembered that this was a magician from the "Northern Empire", but it was still a little unbelievable, "The Horner Empire should also know Marshal Ofra, one of the three leaders of the kingdom and a heroine famous throughout the continent! You are too ignorant."

"It's not that exaggerated," Ofra smiled, looking approachable now, not at all the aggressive look she had when she was arguing with the rector just now, "I just happened to have experienced a lot of things."

Then she turned to the Rector: "Your Excellency Rector, I will take my leave first. I will let my knights be responsible for night defense. Tomorrow we will discuss in detail how to deal with the monsters running out of the mountains - if these mercenaries The intelligence is accurate, we have to face more than just those twenty rock giants."
