After Cortina Xiaoyu finished speaking, Li De felt a very magical feeling.
Unexpectedly, the cave hydra entrenched here actually has something to do with Gazrilla. What Li De didn't expect was that the Hanhai Protector unconsciously influenced the fate of these harpies during the development process.
Li De guessed that the power that Cortina Xiaoyu mentioned to summon demigods might be worth Stonehenge, but Li De wondered why harpies, as a mortal race, could sense energy fluctuations that can only be felt at the demigod level.
.
These questions are obviously not the focus at the moment. The top priority is to rescue Van Cleef.
"Dear human leader, the evil and power of the hydra are far beyond your imagination. The harpies are willing to help you save people and eliminate the threat of the hydra to all of us."
Although he knew that the harpies were more interested in achieving their own goals, Li De was not averse to cooperating with them. They were more familiar with the situation in the Snake King Cave than he was, and the operation would be much smoother with them leading the way.
This time, the lineup for exploring the Serpent King's Cave can be described as luxurious. In addition to the harpy who led the way, Tavish Stormpike was the first to enter the cave. He believed that he was responsible for causing Van Cleef to be in danger, so he had the obligation to rescue him with his own hands.
After Tavish is Brian Bronzebeard, who has a strong interest in all types of adventures. Muradin has long been accustomed to his brother's character, and just told him to pay attention to safety and be careful of those harpies after going down.
.
After these two, those who entered the cave one after another were Kel'Thuzad, Benedictus, Chen Stormstout, and a battalion of 250 soldiers.
Five heroes lead an elite infantry battalion with sufficient weapons and various types of troops. Such a lineup is still capable of dealing with a giant dragon, let alone a multi-headed monster snake?
As for Li De, he stayed on the ground. This was forcibly decided by Lao Chen and others before he could speak. Although this operation was a sure thing, after all, it was an underground place full of uncertainty. As a leader, Li De
There is absolutely no room for error.
This was also a chain reaction after Li De was injured in the last naval battle. Although it only took half a day to recover from the injury, the appearance when he was injured was too scary.
Therefore, even if he is a powerful heroic warrior, Li De is now protected. Li De expressed his understanding of this arrangement, and he needs to be responsible for the people of the entire Hanhai Protectorate.
However, in the process of gradually withdrawing from the front-line combat sequence, Li De was inevitably a little hesitant. He was an idealist, but in the process of practice, he discovered that there was a huge gap between ideal and reality.
Whether Li De can cross this gap is unknown.
"Queen Cortina, I hope that you will not betray our trust in the Screaming Harpy. If I know that you have deceived me, I believe that no one will want to see such a result."
Standing outside the crypt, Li De said these words to Cortina Xiaoyu.
Facing Li De's warning, Cortina Xiaoyu smiled back. The harpy, who was avoided by many people in Kalim, looked very beautiful when he smiled - this was reasonable, because
Harpies all have the face of an elven woman.
"I can understand your concerns. Please rest assured that the Harpy is sincerely cooperating with you. I will not bet on my tribe."
Xiao Yu said it sincerely, and Li De nodded and said no more. Even if these harpies really had the sinister intention of deceiving people underground and harming them, the team that entered the cave was not something they could easily handle.
. This team includes both the hero-level veteran Chen and Kel'Thuzad, who is unparalleled in resourcefulness.
What is even more threatening is that compared to those who entered the cave, those who stayed on the ground were no less impressive: Li De, Fording, Muradin, Talanji, Ashkandi...
Watching the Harpy Queen disappear into the cave, Li De and the others began a boring wait on the ground.
"Tirion, are you interested in staying in Tanaris? The people of the Vast Sea Protector need the teachings of the Holy Light. You know, I will always regret not being able to invite Archbishop Faol to come here."
While waiting, Lid sent an invitation to Tirion. He had mentioned a similar invitation to Benedictus before, but as the bishop of the Kingdom of Stormwind, Benedictus would have
It was impossible to stay outside for a long time. In the end, he only agreed to the status of an honorary bishop and could only visit the Hanhai Protector once every two months.
Tirion Fordring did not have any objection to staying in the Protector of the Vast Sea, but he did not hesitate to reject the idea of teaching the Holy Light in the Protector of the Vast Sea.
"I'm sorry Li De, whether as a friend or a member of the alliance, I can help you fight without hesitation. But the only thing I can't accept is becoming a teacher of the Holy Light.
Now, I feel more and more that my understanding of Holy Light is too simple. What you just mentioned about Teacher Faao makes me feel ashamed.
I plan to return to the countryside of Lordaeron after this war is over and restart my practice.
During his lifetime, the teacher showed deep concern about the faith in the Holy Light in Lordaeron, where there are the largest number of farmers in the human race. They are the group of people who desire the Holy Light the most, and they are also the group of people who live the most difficult life.
I think maybe by practicing there, I can truly understand the true meaning of the Holy Light."
Li De couldn't help but sigh after listening to Fording's voice. Fording is a man of high moral character. He has a heart that is truly devoted to the Holy Light and will not be moved by his noble and prominent status.
He didn't care how high the appointment was given by Li De. What he cared about was that his lack of understanding of the Holy Light led him to mislead the people of Hanhai Protector.
More importantly, in Fording's view, the people of the Hanhai Protector are living relatively happily now. To put it bluntly, the Hanhai Protector lacks the foundation to spread the Holy Light faith.
Because the people living here have a complete belief system, and can really obtain a prosperous life through hard-working hands. Perhaps as far as the current Hanhai Protector is concerned, their civilians may be completely different from the civilians of Lordaeron.
People from two worlds.
Staying in the Vast Sea Protector and not being exposed to the hardships of more people may not be a good thing for Fording at this stage when it comes to understanding the Holy Light.
While the two were talking, something suddenly happened inside the cave.
An extremely shrill and terrifying roar came from the cave, and then the people standing outside the cave felt an extremely huge suction force in the cave, as if it was trying to suck them all in.
Same inside.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared and did not fall into the cave.
At this moment, Gani Projection, who had been watching outside the cave entrance, spoke.
"That's right, this power has the smell of a demigod. Unfortunately, it only has a little smell. In terms of strength, it is probably at the level of a high-ranking hero. It seems that I don't need to take action."
With Loa making the assessment, the stone in everyone's hearts was finally settled.
While everyone was talking, the battle in the crypt also entered its most intense state.
In order to fight against the hydra, the harpies once conducted reconnaissance on the Serpent King's Cave. After descending inside, the spells of Kel'Thuzad and Benedictus were able to provide light for the team.
However, the moment the two of them released their spells, the Harpy Queen screamed to stop them. Unfortunately, her stoppage was a step too late.
Then, in the light of the two men's spells, everyone in the team saw a scalp-numbing scene. Countless venomous snakes were densely packed together, rubbing and entangled with each other.
After feeling the light shining on them, the snakes immediately began to stir, and they all turned their heads towards the people entering the cave, hissing and spitting out messages.
Seeing such a scene, Cortina Xiaoyu sighed helplessly.
