Generally speaking, the jackdaw euphorbia warrior and the dragon-shaped spear and shield warrior are both third-level arms, and their attributes are not much different.
The types and emphasis of the arms between the two are different. They belong to one attack and one defense. The other attributes are generally on a stable balance line. They are both the best among the third-level arms.
When Zong Shen saw the attributes of these halberd warriors, his thoughts began to wander again.
If you get a team of euphorbia warriors and a team of dragon-shaped spear and shield warriors, they can definitely complement each other and kill everyone. The euphorbia warriors focus on offense and the spear and shield warriors focus on defense. Both have certain characteristics of resisting cavalry. This combination is simply
Don't be too perfect!
This situation is almost impossible to occur among the indigenous people.
The reason is very simple, the Dragon Transformed Spear and Shield Warrior belongs to a strength called the Dragon Transformation Church, while the Jackdaw Euphorbia Warrior belongs to the Calamity Raven Church.
Even if there is no conflict between these two church forces, it is difficult for them to cooperate with each other due to their different doctrines.
But for lords, the situation is different. In theory, lords have no so-called camps and can recruit all soldiers. As long as they are strong enough, it is completely possible to combine two types of arms that would otherwise not be able to fight side by side.
Create many novel and powerful combinations of arms.
Zong Shen was waving the shovel while thinking about it. He was very powerful. Even after taking off his equipment, his attributes were not comparable to those of farmers.
Because he was distracted, he unknowingly forgot to conceal his strength. The shovel in his hand could scoop up a large piece of soil with each stroke, and his efficiency was at least several times that of the surrounding villagers.
A few minutes later, when Zong Shen came to his senses, he found that the Zima ditch in front of him, which was only half a meter deep and about one meter wide, had been dug a full meter wide.
There was a layer of floating soil at my feet, which made me really stand out compared to the surrounding villagers.
The villagers on the side opened their mouths slightly, and they all looked at Zong Shen's operation in stunned silence.
The movement here also attracted the attention of the Jackdaw and Euphorbia warriors who were supervising the work nearby.
By the time Zong Shen came back to his senses, everyone around him was already staring at him.
He lowered his head in embarrassment, but the euphorbia warriors came over, seeming to have doubts about him.
Zong Shen felt a little annoyed. His lurking was not professional enough, he was a little careless, and he even forgot about the difference in attributes between himself and ordinary villagers.
He grabbed the big shovel and shoveled the dirt blocking the ditch as usual. Behind him were two jackdaw and halberd warriors walking towards him. Zong Shen listened to the approaching heavy footsteps and had already begun to communicate with the storage compartment.
[The Ring of the Floating Sky].
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and the sound of armor scraping together and the sound of kneeling down on one knee came from behind.
"Greetings to the Holy Lady!"
…
The saint is here? Zong Shen was secretly confused in his heart. Seeing the villagers around him turn their heads curiously, he also turned his head.
All the jackdaw and euphorbia warriors behind him knelt on one knee respectfully, with their euphorbias on the ground, holding the euphorbia in one hand and stroking their foreheads with the other. This seemed to be the etiquette in their church.
A woman wearing a black veil and her whole body covered by a loose hooded gown came over, with a strand of crimson hair exposed from both sides of the hood.
Her pace is neither fast nor slow, just like lotus flowers in the wind, with a different charm.
It's a pity that she wrapped herself too tightly, only revealing a pair of deep eyes and crescent-shaped eyebrows.
Behind her were several deacons wearing raven emblem robes.
These deacons are also part of the church's management, but their status is much lower than that of the saints.
"Everyone, get up. The construction speed of Raven Tower is too slow."
"I'm going to recruit a few more people from here to support the construction. It must be completed within three days."
An intellectual and dignified female voice came, and all the jackdaw and euphorbia warriors stood up after hearing the words, and stood there with their halberds in hand.
A deacon behind her suddenly said.
"Saint, why don't we send powerful knights to plunder the population of other surrounding villages."
"According to our previous investigation, there are three or four villages within a hundred kilometers of here, and there is a large village in the south with a population of two to three thousand people..."
Before he finished speaking, the saint raised her hand and shook her head slightly to signal him to be silent.
"Dear Mr. Sweetin, our mission this time is to obtain the demon's remnant soul and blood and awaken the raven spirit, not to plunder the population."
"We can occupy this place and eliminate the crusade or local knights at the same time, but we cannot loot all the villages in this place."
"Although these villages are not worth mentioning to the entire Kingdom of Avalon, if the Avalon royal family or those giant city nobles feel offended, I am afraid they will immediately launch a full-scale attack on the church stronghold."
"In the eyes of those people, poor dignity trumps everything, and this is the measure we have to grasp now."
"When the Demon Soul is attracted, some changes may occur in the Boneyard, so we need to occupy Odo Village to attract their attention to prevent situations beyond our control in the Boneyard.
"
The saint spoke slowly and explained the stakes involved.
The power of the Calamity Raven Church is not weak. It has giant city-level strongholds in several surrounding countries. However, after all, it cannot go head-to-head with kingdom-level forces. There is no problem in bullying local forces. If it launches a full-scale war against the kingdom-level forces
If so, they are no match at all.
It doesn't matter whether it's like plundering a village, destroying a state army or a large city's crusade. It doesn't touch the bottom line of the kingdom. After all, those knights often go to suppress church heretics. This kind of small-scale friction can't rise.
The extent of total war.
But if you go too far and offend the upper echelons of the kingdom, then things will be different.
After listening to the saint's words, the deacon didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and slowly returned to the queue.
Then, the saintly lady walked lightly with lotus steps and walked to Zong Shen's side. Zong Shen smelled a strange light fragrance.
"All of you, follow me."
She raised her finger and pointed, and her loose sleeves slipped down, revealing half of her white lotus-like arm. The back half was densely covered with tattoos, including runes and various strange emblems.
Among the people she pointed to, Zong Shen was included. They obediently walked out of the queue and followed the saint towards the village.
The jackdaw and halberd warriors stared at Zong Shen, but in the end they didn't say anything.
Among the farmers in the village, there are occasionally one or two talented guys whose innate qualifications have reached an excellent level, and their corresponding physical abilities are stronger than those of ordinary farmers.
Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief. This [Transformation Potion] was so effective that the natives couldn't detect anything strange.
However, if he wants to hide the truth perfectly, Zong Shen still needs to strengthen his acting skills.
The first time he infiltrated, there were many details that he didn't do well enough, but it also provided experience for future infiltrations.
Fortunately, these church heretics don't have much doubt about this. They are fully prepared for the possible arrival of knights and crusade from the Kingdom of Avalon.
Zong Shen took a shovel and followed several farmers into the village at the end of the queue.
Sentries were set up on the main roads in the village, and Zong Shen even saw several traps such as horse tripping ropes and razor hook nets on the roadside.
There are longbows on the roofs and windowsills of the houses on both sides, and armed archers in light armor are stationed on guard.
Zong Shen now roughly knows the cause and effect of the matter.
It seems that this group of people from the Calamity Raven Church are already prepared to face the crusade. A large number of traps and fortifications have been arranged in the village, just to delay as much time as possible so that they can successfully collect the demon souls and demons.
of blood.
Odo Village is just a bait and a cover, a delaying strategy, all just to cover up the action.
Of course, now it seems that the ritual to attract the demon soul must be very complicated, and may even cause a lot of noise. Otherwise, they would not need to prepare for so many days, and they would even need to use Odo Village as bait to disperse the kingdom.
The attention of the forces.
While Zong Shen was thinking, he looked at the layout of the village, keeping all the sentry posts and trap positions in mind. Five minutes after entering the village, they walked to the original small square in the village.
This place is located in the center of the village. It was originally the village square, but now it has been cleared and a high tower has been built in the middle.
There are more than a dozen people in gray robes working on some strange bones to form runes on the foundation.
These skeletons were those of some small birds, with bright red flesh and blood on them, so they were obviously killed and released.
There were many wooden barrels on the side. Some barrels contained thick dark red blood, and some wood contained jet-black feathers.
Obviously these birds should be the ravens hovering over the village.
The Church of Calamity Raven seems to be able to construct some kind of strange rune formation using the flesh and bones of ravens.
This time it really had the flavor of some evil ritual.
In addition to the rune foundation made of raven flesh and blood, the main body of the tower is made of mithril and wood. The mithril is also engraved with runes and becomes the beams and supports of the tower. The wood is high
The main body of the tower.
The whole tower is like a large battle formation.
Zong Shen and the villagers were brought in and were responsible for carrying the wood up.
While following the villagers, he looked at the tower intently.
