It's not the harvest season yet, but in the past few days, the residents of Haisas have been as excited and happy as if they were celebrating a festival every day.
When the paladins with bright armor and majestic expressions escorted the rattling prison cart and wooden cage through the streets, the whole city was boiling.
Witch...it turns out this is a witch!
Ever since the alien witches invaded the Enverk plane, the Zambis Empire has been suffering from the witches' poison.
They rob mines, seize high-level resources, and treat the entire Enver plane as their own back garden. Sometimes, in order to punish some places that refuse the entry of witch forces, they even release plagues there without any scruples.
Casualties of ordinary people.
It is these evil deeds and horrific crimes in the past hundred years that make the people of Zambis hate these foreign witches to the core, and they are filled with endless hatred from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, when the fair and strict Paladins, who were the incarnation of light and justice, successfully captured the terrible witch from the dark forest, and stuffed her into the wooden cage of the prison car, and when she rumbled through the streets of the small town, all the seas and seas were shocked.
The residents of Sars poured into the streets and welcomed the witch with tattered vegetable leaves, cold dirty water and sharp stones.
People chased after the prison car, cheered and threw stones at the shivering witch hiding in the wooden cage. It can be seen that this witch was once an extremely beautiful woman, with a proud figure and
Exquisite and perfect face.
Unfortunately, her deep-seated hatred caused her to be tortured at the hands of the Paladin. Now she is locked in a cage like a wild beast and allowed to be reviled, attacked and insulted by ordinary people.
This extreme injury and fear of death have made Lena no longer as radiant and charming as before. Her hair is disheveled, and the cloth robe on her body is broken into bunches of rags, completely unable to cover her body.
body.
The exposed skin was covered with dense scratches and bruises. The once smooth and white skin had begun to wither, and wrinkles and scabs appeared like dead tree bark.
Reina let her hair down and glanced numbly at the cheering crowd surrounding the wooden cage. She let the torn vegetable leaves and sharp stones hit her, but she didn't even bother to block or dodge.
"Burn her to death..."
"Send her to the stake..."
Whenever similar loud shouts erupted from the crowd, Reina's body couldn't help but twitch violently.
Her heart was filled with hatred, and her heart was filled with boundless hatred.
Unfortunately, she also wears terrifying demon prisoner shackles on her wrists and ankles. They are made of metal and are made of special magic metal. They are difficult to be destroyed by corrosive spells such as acid. And there are countless fine metal spikes on the inner edge of the shackles.
It pierces into the flesh, and the slightest movement will cause severe heart-wrenching pain.
A special mouth mask was worn on Reina's cheek, and a metal walnut the size of an egg was stuffed into her mouth. With these, Reina lost the ability to chant spells and use gestures to guide spellcasting, even without guards.
As for those instant low-level witchcraft, they cannot be cast in this wooden cage covered with all kinds of strange runes. Although the Enverk plane is a low-magic world, the research on magic has not relaxed at all.
They can still research this kind of anti-magic barrier with holy light as its source of power!
The cage holding Reina was sent directly to the Holy Light Chapel in Haissas City. There, more and more paladins came from all directions, including five third-level golden knights alone.
Of course, so many golden knights are not to guard a rookie witch who is no more than level 2, but to protect the core materials of the witch formation that were found from Reina.
The attack on the Witch's Tower in the Dabire Highlands has been going on for half a year. Although the Zambis Empire has suffered heavy losses, the Witch's side is also at the end of its game. If the current trend continues, the Paladin of a powerful empire will be supported.
As long as the coalition forces grit their teeth and are not afraid of necessary sacrifices, they will be able to break through the Witch Tower in three or four months.
If the Witch Tower is allowed to obtain this batch of witch formation materials at this time and repair the internal cross-dimensional teleportation witch formation, it means that the huge casualties that the Zambis Empire has suffered in the past year will be in vain. Therefore, even if the frontline
The battle was so intense, but the allied forces of the Paladins and the Empire still sent back three powerful golden knights to join the Paladins near Haisas City to protect the witch and the witch formation materials.
And the fourth-level holy knight Ad Kalai, who was heading to the northern part of the empire, also began to turn around and head west, rushing to join the paladins in Haisas City. Once there were fourth-level holy knights in the battle, they would be able to draw out enough
The manpower escorted the witches and materials directly back to the imperial capital.
Only in the imperial capital, there is nothing to worry about in terms of safety!
Therefore, on the third day after Witch Reina was escorted into Haissas City, and seven days before the arrival of the fourth-level holy knight, Greem in disguise also sneaked into Haissas City with the crowd.
The city of Haysas is now under martial law. The Holy Light Chapel is closely guarded by the paladins coming from all directions. The guards of the city of Haysas are responsible for the peripheral security and inspections, but only at the city gates and passes.
There is still a small team of Paladins holding down the battle at key positions.
In order to prevent the witch's companions from sneaking into Hesas City, military control has been implemented here. The inspections entering and exiting the city gate are extremely strict. Ordinary business trips and convoys are refused entry and can only temporarily stop in several nearby towns.
Greem, who had just arrived from the dark forest after hearing the news, had to intercept and kill a level 1 black iron knight on the way. Then he put on the armor standard of the paladins, mounted a tall horse, and came to Haisas in a swagger.
City gate.
Seeing Greem's signature paladin armor, the city guards who gathered at the city gate to strictly check people coming in and out immediately saluted and some people quickly ran to inform the paladin who were stationed here.
In a moment, three paladins and a dozen trainee knights poured out of the city gate and quickly came to Grimm's horse.
"The light is with us! This brother from far away, I don't know which chapel you come from?" The three leading paladins are all first-level black iron knights. The leading one is nearly middle-aged and has a full beard.
, and enthusiastically kowtowed to Greem’s chest.
Greem jumped off his horse and also kowtowed to his chest and said in return: "The light is with us! Hello, my name is Jedrick. I come from Bardan City on the edge of the Avery Mountains. I am traveling near the dark forest. I heard that Haysas is here
We are summoning the power of the Holy Light, and I came here specially, hoping to contribute my meager strength!"
"It turns out that you came here from Avili. Why do you look so unfamiliar? Welcome, brother, Haisas welcomes you!" The leading paladin asked with a smile on his face: "My name is Hailit.
, is on duty at the city gate today. By the way, I remember that the person in charge of Baldan was old Christopher, and he and I once drank together. How is he doing now? "
Greem followed him slowly towards the city, while shaking his head and smiling: "Christopher is too old. He was disbanded and returned to his hometown of Winterspring five years ago. Now the person in charge of everything in Baldan is Alamand.
"Sir Greythorne, but seven months ago, he also brought a large number of brothers to Dabiley..."
How could Greem, who had already obtained key information from the memory fragments of the intercepted Paladin, be fooled by the other party's little tricks? He resolved the other party's doubts in a few words and made the other party feel relieved.
After sending Greem into the inner city, the leading knight smiled regretfully and said: "I'm sorry, brother, I can only send you here. I still need to receive the Holy Light Brothers from all over the place here. Let Totti take the lead.
Go to the chapel! When you get there, you need to report to Defense Officer Anthera first, and he will assign you specific tasks!"
The two of them kowtowed to each other again, and Greem slowly walked towards the Holy Light Chapel, the tallest and most majestic church in the city, led by a trainee knight Toti.
Although Haysas City is under martial law, there are still nearly 60,000 residents in the city, so people are coming and going on the streets, and the lively and noisy atmosphere is no less than usual. However, when I saw two saints wearing bright armor,
As the knight passed by, all the residents stepped to the side of the road and bowed.
Greem could tell that they all sincerely admired and respected these believers who represented the power of the Holy Light. Their respect did not have any compulsion, it was all from the bottom of their hearts.
It can also be seen from this that in the Envik plane, the strange power of the Holy Light has indeed penetrated deeply into people's hearts and become the embodiment of light and justice!
The sincere admiration and reverence from the people also infinitely inspired the trainee knight Totti's sense of professional honor. He walked beside Grim, his young and immature face full of unconcealable excitement, and secretly glanced at Grim.
The eyes of the exquisite and gorgeous armor became more enthusiastic and envious.
As a trainee knight, Totti only wears ordinary stainless steel armor, with no complex and exquisite light runes engraved on it. Paladins of level 1 and above wear armor with the power of holy light.
Every time they gather the power of Holy Light, the Holy Armor will merge with the power of Holy Light and interact with each other to form a kind of Holy Light protection.
Greem has tested that the level 1 Black Iron Knight Holy Light Protection can resist elemental magic damage of about 140 degrees. When Greem was a level 1 wizard, the strongest single-target bursting fireball he could inspire was only about 115 degrees.
power.
This means that a level 1 black iron knight can completely withstand Greem's fireball attack, rush to his side and chop him down. Of course, the longest time Greem can cast a level 1 bursting fireball is only 3
seconds. Therefore, if a level 1 wizard and a level 1 black iron knight fight, the paladin will undoubtedly have the advantage in a small indoor space.
However, if the field is open enough and the level 1 wizard has strong mobility, the black iron knight will be kited to death. After all, no one wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor can be as fast as a thief.
