The number of 70 or 80 gargoyles accounts for two-fifths of the entire group of gargoyles.
If it weren't for the uneven distribution of some crossbow bolts, the number of kills would have been increased by at least one to two percent.
Although he failed to wipe out all these cave monsters, Zong Shen was very satisfied.
Most of the crossbow bolts fell to the ground as the gargoyle fell, and most of them could be recovered.
The remaining gargoyles were stunned by this wave of attacks like a storm, and once again began to show signs of disintegration. They scattered towards the surroundings and eventually disappeared. While escaping, they encountered another wave of attacks.
The Ranger's arrows and the Master's magic strikes killed several more escaping gargoyles.
Zong Shen put away all the storm crossbows that had been launched. At this time, the battle was basically over. This wave of offensive against the gargoyles was still very profitable. He gained an extra one or two thousand points, which was really nice.
All the soldiers began to consciously pick up the crossbow arrows scattered on the ground. These can all be recycled and used. Zong Shen also put away the loader mecha to help them pick up the crossbow arrows on the ground.
Although the crossbow arrows are not expensive whether you forge them yourself or buy them through the market or redeem them with points, not to mention that the Storm Crossbow uses the most common whiteboard crossbow arrows, so the cost is even lower.
Haoyi remained silent all the way, just silently watching Zong Shen and the others fighting. Although no one gave him any hints, he vaguely grasped the key to some problems. The adult in front of him seemed to
It's really different from those princes.
They seemed to be from another world, and the cave monsters they encountered were somewhat different from the undead lairs and cave tribes that occasionally appeared throughout the continent.
This aroused Howie's curiosity even more. By joining such a magical territory, he might be able to experience things he had never experienced in the first half of his life.
Howie was thinking in his mind and wondering why Zong Shen never extended an olive branch.
Zong Shen naturally doesn't know what Howie is thinking now. Although Howie is a heroic talent, he cannot be included in Zong Shen's tasks at all. He will only wait for the most important tasks and arrangements in front of him to be completed.
Only then would he bother to talk to Howie.
Just as everyone packed up their crossbow bolts and prepared to continue heading west, there were two groups of uninvited guests coming from west to east. The target of these uninvited guests was very clear, that was Zong Shen and the others.
There was a cloud of dust along the way, and as the distance got closer, Zong Shen could already see clearly who was coming.
These are two teams of heretical giant knights. The leading knight carries the raven saint behind him.
Just now, Zong Shen thought about leading the team all the way to the west and checking the situation of the Calamity Raven Church in Odo Village. Unexpectedly, the main leader has arrived now.
Zong Shen stood there and looked at the surrounding open space. There had been no rain recently, and the land was relatively dry and hard. In addition, the load-bearer mecha that Zong Shen drove before was unloaded and had a low weight, so the traces of the tracks were not obvious.
In addition, those swarming cave monsters trampled the ground so hard that no trace of the tracks could be seen at all.
Only then did Zong Shen feel relieved. The opponent's two teams of heretical giant knights were coming fiercely, but Zong Shen was not afraid. At worst, he would use all his means to fight with them and directly kidnap the delicate Raven Saint and take her home.
The soldiers in the front row gathered together. The dragon-turned-gun-and-shield warriors put up their shields and set up their spears. The wolf cavalry protected them on both sides. Luna and the huntresses were wandering nearby.
A response formation was quickly formed, guarding the wizards and ranger sisters.
Zong Shen didn't take out any weapons, and just waited for the other party's arrival calmly.
The reloaded Sharma was very fast, and they arrived at Zong Shen's house in more than a minute. The leading knight carried Safuli and stopped in front of Zong Shen, while the other knights headed toward the two wings to pack up.
Because of the number of people, the two teams of heretical giant knights could not completely surround them this time.
Before the leading knight could say anything, he saw Safuri jump off the horse first.
"Hey, it's you."
"You are the one who gave us the clue to the goblin thief that day."
"I have visited your territory before."
Safuli has a 20-point favorable impression of Zong Shen, so naturally she has not forgotten what happened that day.
That day, the church's secret supply point was stolen. She pursued it all the way to Zong Shen's territory through the track marks left by the loader's mecha. Unfortunately, the clues were interrupted due to the rain, and she later went to Zong Shen's territory to question him.
situation.
Finally, the group of goblins was found at the outpost camp in the mountains. Although those cunning guys tried their best to deny it, Sally didn't believe it at all. In the end, due to the power of the Calamity Raven Church, the goblin merchant Boswell chose to succumb.
, compensated Safuri with a sum of supplies, but the goblins never admitted that they had stolen the church's secret supplies.
Although there are still some doubts in it, after all, Safuri did not see the batch of supplies in the goblin camp, nor the baggage boxes belonging to the church, but since Boswell compensated, the final result is not important.
.
Because of this incident, Raven Saint Safuri left an impression on Zong Shen and had a good impression of this helpful and polite lord.
Zong Shen nodded with a smile, but didn't show any enthusiasm.
He looked around at the heretic giant warriors, and then looked at Raven Saint Safuri with a smile.
"It turns out that the Holy Lady has not forgotten me."
"It's a pity that when we meet again, it seems a little awkward."
"So many powerful church knights have surrounded me. Do they want to start a war?"
Zong Shen said unceremoniously that the position of these heretical giant knights was obviously an encircling formation, and the intention of the other party was self-evident.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing what Zong Shen said, the Raven Saint showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and she quickly waved her hand to let the heretical giant knights disperse.
"Everyone disperse, this lord is a friend of the church."
"He has helped us."
The Raven Saint spoke in person, and naturally those heretical giant knights would not disobey. They disbanded their formations, went to both sides and went back to Safuri's rear, and reorganized.
Zong Shen could feel that the hostility of those heretical giant knights instantly decreased. Their behavior before was full of aggression.
"Did the Holy Lady run into any trouble when she personally led the team this time?"
"If the Holy Lady needs me for anything, please feel free to ask."
After the hostility was lifted, Zong Shen did not continue to delve deeper. He just asked Safuri if she needed help to find out her purpose of going out this time.
As the war approaches, Zong Shen is also very concerned about the current situation of Odo Village, especially the situation of the Calamity Raven Church.
The church side chose to station its troops in place and forcibly attack them, so they must have a certain degree of confidence and confidence.
As the church's senior leader and commander of this operation, Saint Safuri must have mastered the core secrets.
As long as Zong Shen grasps some superficial clues, he can directly dig deeper through the strategy tips.
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Saint Safuri's face became awkward.
She led the team on this trip not because of any secret mission, but simply to recruit young people. Whether they were aborigines or lords, they came to capture one by one and brought them all back to Odo Village to work.
In the past few days, they encountered some minor troubles. They were attacked by some lords and robbed a small number of farmers. They did not know whether these lords were lords or not, and they were all classified as mysterious forces.
These mysterious forces were cunning and numerous. They launched night attacks several times. Although some of them were killed by the church's warriors, they actually succeeded in one attack and robbed about a hundred villagers.
This has left the labor force in Odo Village stretched thin. In addition, many temporary fortifications have recently been built, so solving the labor problem has become the primary issue that the church in Odo Village needs to solve.
All people passing through Odo Village are their targets for robbery. If the labor force is not enough, they are ready to go to other nearby villages to rob people.
However, this kind of blatant robbery of people is still not suitable to be mentioned in person.
"Well...no big deal, just patrolling."
"What about adults? Is there anything you need our help with?"
Safuli changed the subject and threw the question back to Zong Shen.
When Zong Shen heard Safuri's answer, he secretly cursed the little fox.
When she answered, Zong Shen had already asked for strategy tips and learned about the lack of manpower in Odo Village. When he learned that the lords had kidnapped more than a hundred farmers, he couldn't help but sigh at the courageous people.
Still a lot.
It was obviously a premeditated cooperative action, but I don't know how many people were happy and who were sad. There were more than a hundred farmers, and Zong Shen was drooling just thinking about it.
Odo Village was the wool he had reserved, but now someone else was forcibly grabbing a handful of it first, which made him somewhat unhappy.
Don’t the people from the Calamity Raven Church know to be more careful?
Zong Shen lamented in his heart for a while, and had nothing more to say to Safuli.
He just waved his hands calmly.
"I'm just here to patrol."
"Since there is nothing wrong with the Holy Lady, I will not disturb you and continue patrolling."
Zong Shen decisively made an excuse and wanted to lead the team away.
He planned to continue heading west, hunting the cave monsters along the way, and at the same time go to Odo Village to take a look.
Although he met Raven Saint Safuri halfway, he still wanted to see the situation.
"Sir, please wait..."
Safuli suddenly shouted, and Zong Shen looked at her doubtfully.
"I see that as you move westward, you will most likely encounter other church warriors."
"Here is my token. If you encounter any obstacles from church soldiers along the way, show them the token."
After Safuri finished speaking, she took out a long black feather from the sleeve of the saint's robe and handed it to Zong Shen.
Zong Shen heard this and glanced at Black Feather.
【Safuri's token (special)】
[A raven feather with the scent of Safuri]
(With this raven feather, those church warriors will not intercept you, even if you enter Odo Village, unless you attempt to enter the key area)
Zong Shen's eyes lit up when he saw this feather, and he quickly nodded his thanks.
"Thank you for the saint's token. We are going to visit the west just in time."
Zong Shen took the feather, and with this thing, Zong Shen's plan had another layer of cover.
The Raven Saint smiled sweetly, and her charm suddenly came to life. She was also a beautiful woman, with both talent and beauty. She was also a high-ranking member of the church and a saint. She had a cold temperament, but her smile at this time made the two of them...
The feeling of alienation immediately subsided a lot.
[The Raven Saint Safuri’s favorability towards you increases by 5 points, and the current favorability is 25 points (a casual acquaintance)]
The favorability level increased by another 5 points, but it was still just a bit familiar.
"My lord, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can come to the Jackdaw Valley in the north as a guest."
"Just rely on this token."
After Safuri finished speaking, she also climbed onto the back of the heavily armored Sharma, hugged the waist of the heretic giant knight who led the team, winked at Zong Shen, and led the team away towards the east.
.
No one knows how many unlucky lords will become their "trophies" along the way.
After Safuri sent the token, she seemed to be in a much better mood and left gracefully.
Zong Shen held the raven feather in his hand and watched the raven saint Safuri leave before continuing to move forward with his soldiers.
This place is still more than 20 kilometers away from Odo Village. This time Safuli stretched out her hand longer than before. Zong Shen just hoped that this guy would not capture the members of his army, and he would not go there.
Hositano Village.
However, Zong Shen was obviously overly worried. Even if the general village-level units had poor combat effectiveness, they would still have some first-level militia soldiers.
Moreover, there are so many villagers. It is unlikely that the two teams of heretical giant knights can overcome such a huge gap in numbers. The Calamity Raven Church brought a team of several hundred people to be able to do this.
Easily capture Odo Village.
Therefore, Safuri had no idea of occupying other villages. However, although these troops were not enough to capture Sitano Village, they were more than enough to harass and plunder.
Zong Shen shook his head and got rid of those messy thoughts. He couldn't stop Sha Fuli's actions. This area is so big. Maybe she would go back home if she caught one or two lords in the east.
.
Zong Shen rode on Bajie, still took out the loader mecha, and asked the wolf cavalry team to sweep up the rear, clearing the traces left by the loader mecha, and at the same time, alerting the surroundings.
There is no way, without riding a horse, only the loader mecha can satisfy the exploration team's travel.
Although it is somewhat risky to use the Heavy Bearer near Odo Village, as long as you deal with it carefully, there should be no big problem.
