When I looked up at my feet, I realized how majestic this behemoth was. It didn't look like it was created by a mortal at all. It towered up to the sky, as if it was made by gods. Its cold and black walls spread into the depths of the snow and merged with the clouds.
Together, there is no end in sight. This is a cold machine, a wonder forged by the human race on the Tianxing Continent for thousands of years!
"Get up!"
The cavalry leading us roared to the top, and then received a response. After exchanging slogans, a torch shook above, echoing the people below, and soon there was the sound of iron ropes twisting, and the heavy sound full of ancient mottled patterns
The iron gate slowly rose, opening the nearly 100-meter-wide and five-meter-high gate. Suddenly a wave of heat hit us, and many torches were lit on the first floor of the Tower of Babel to keep the soldiers warm.
Stepping onto the first floor, the snow leopard's paws stepped on the cold rocks, and he and Sura walked side by side to the depths of the Tower of Babel.
In the distance, only the tip of the iceberg can be seen from the structure inside the tower, with walkways extending in all directions. There are adjacent school grounds in the center. At this time, cavalry are practicing their sprinting and slashing skills. And further away, there are granaries one after another, with no end in sight.
, the shouts of cattle, sheep, and pigs came from the distance. There were not only grain and grass in this Tower of Babel, but also livestock, which could be slaughtered and eaten at any time.
…
The accompanying knight officer seemed to notice my surprise and smiled slightly: "The Tower of Babel is replenished three times a month, and supplies that can last ten years are maintained all year round. This is a rule of the Xia tribe. On the first floor of the Tower of Babel,
, has a total of 50,000 cavalry, and the supply of food and fodder for the war horses has never been cut off. As long as the demons in purgatory dare to invade the territory, these 50,000 cavalry will definitely make them return in defeat!"
I nodded: "How to get up?"
"Elevator."
He pointed to the distance and said: "Each floor of Babel Tower is twenty meters. If you take the steps, it would be too far to go to the eighth or even ninth floor. Please come with me."
The so-called elevator is actually very simple. It is just a big cage suspended by iron cables from the first floor to the upper floor.
When Sulla and I stood in the cage, the knight officer knocked on the iron rope eight times in a row, and the sling slowly rose, taking us over one level after another, far and wide.
Looking from a distance, many soldiers were resting in each floor of the tower, where tents were set up and they used well water from the first floor to make fires for cooking.
There are many craftsmen who are busy casting ballistae and other equipment. The cavalry of Babel Tower are all arranged on the first floor. The defense on the upper floor mainly relies on ballistae, rockets, cannons and other tools. The number and ferocity of the Purgatory Legion are unknown to us.
We have already seen that without such preparations, it is indeed impossible to stop the infernal army.
Soon after, the elevator slowly stopped at the eighth floor.
"The Commander-in-Chief is on the eighth floor, please come."
"Um."
Sura nodded, and I asked curiously: "Why doesn't the palace commander live on the top floor?"
The knight officer smiled meaningfully: "The top floor... that is the residence of the Templar Knights."
I:"……"
…
After walking down the elevator, a wide avenue leads straight to the commander's command post. On both sides, rows of generals wearing blue armor looked at us with clear eyes. There was a strong sense of oppression, the kind of eyes that can only be seen after a long time.
It can only be possessed by soldiers who kill. It can be imagined that these people are the closest and most capable generals to the palace commander.
At the end, a handsome tiger-patterned chair is spread across the table, with dragon patterns flowing on it, which is indescribably sacred. And just on the chair, sitting a veteran in gray robes, with gray hair and a face full of
Baptized by wind and frost and tempered by years, he held a piece of military literature in his hand, his eyes were old but radiant, he looked up at us and said: "Who is it?"
A war general stepped forward respectfully: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Palace is Sula, the leader of the Bronze Cavalry Regiment from Julu City, and there is also a knight who came from another world, named Ding Muchen. They are carrying the handwritten letter of Princess Qingyi.
Coming!"
"Qingyi's handwriting?"
There was a line of words "Palace Commander Luo Ning" floating above the old commander's head. When he heard Luo Qingyi, his eyes lit up instantly and he said: "Quickly, bring Qingyi's letter."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
Su La stepped forward and handed Luo Qingyi's letter.
The old handsome looked at it carefully and read it almost word for word. Perhaps to him, this was not like a letter of introduction, but more like a letter from home. After reading it, he silently pressed the golden letter on the handsome case.
Under the dagger, he smiled and said: "The adventurers coming from other worlds are the new blood of our Xia clan. Ding Muchen, are you really as powerful as my handsome daughter said?"
I was stunned: "Master, do you want to try?"
"yes."
The old commander raised his eyebrows and said: "Prince General Pei Chong, let's test this boy's strength."
"Yes, Luo Shuai!"
A general came out, his name instantly red, holding a flaming steel gun in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Young knight, you have to be careful!"
The next moment, his name turned blood red, and with a scolding, he jumped up and charged to kill me. With a "swish" sound, the steel gun penetrated the air and turned into a ray of light that directly pierced my throat.
Seeing it clearly, my body sank slightly, I held the handle of the Pear Blossom Falling Rain Gun tightly with both hands, and lifted it up with all my strength, and sparks suddenly burst out with a "clang" sound. Although I lost a bit in the strength confrontation, I still managed to stab the spear.
After successfully parrying, just as Pei Chong jumped back, I charged directly and locked, with a "peng" sound and a heavy impact, and then the pear blossoms flew over, hitting all seven consecutive attacks of breaking the barrier at once, and Shanghai suddenly
The most densely packed flying objects in the city include special effects of pear blossoms and critical effects.
In just a moment, the general's name changed from blood red to orange friendly color. It seemed that the challenge effect had been achieved. He suddenly shot me away, and then respectfully said to Luo Ning: "Luo Shuai, this kid's skills are amazing."
He is indeed very strong and strong, and is a good young man for fighting and killing, so why not just leave him in the army to be called upon!"
The old commander smiled calmly: "He is a knight who came from another world. He has his own path. How can I oppose him? Ding Muchen, are you willing to join the Temple and become a Templar Knight?"
I was stunned, then nodded: "Yes, I do!"
"good!"
The old commander said in a deep voice: "The Templar Knights are the symbol of our Xia Clan's most elite cavalry. You are the person introduced by Qingyi. I will not make you swear allegiance to me, but you must always be loyal to the Xia Clan and to the Xia Clan."
People of the Xia Clan.”
"Yes." My voice became slightly lower.
"very good!"
The old commander smiled slightly and said, "Come here, take Ding Muchen to the ninth floor. Deacon Haifeng will arrange everything."
"yes!"
Pei Chong, the brave general who was sparring with me just now, smiled at me: "Let's go, young knight, I will take you to the Temple of Babel branch!"
"Thank you."
Sulla was also about to leave. He smiled at me and said, "When you return from your studies, I will naturally wait for you in Julu City."
"Okay, see you in Julu City!"
"Um!"
Su La left, and I followed Pei Chong to the ninth floor.
…
"Keng~"
The elevator stopped at the edge of the ninth floor. Not far away, two Templar knights were almost completely covered in armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed. There was milky white fighting energy flowing all over their bodies. One of them said: "Master Pei Chong,
How did you come?"
Pei Chong said: "This knight was personally accepted by Luo Shuai to join the Temple. He will become a member of the Templar Knights. Please guide him on your behalf."
"Yes, General, please come back."
Pei Chong turned around and left, seemingly without wanting to say another word to the Templars.
"Young man, come with me."
A pair of proud eyes appeared under the Templar's armor, and he said: "It's not that easy to be a Templar. If you don't have enough strength, I'm afraid you'll still have to go back outside."
I frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense and take me to see the deacon."
"snort!"
NND, I am a player, how can I still be angry with you? I still have to fight, the spring breeze blows, who is afraid of whom in modern society!
…
The ninth floor of the Babel Tower is already the smallest floor according to the law of shrinking the tower from the bottom to the mountain, but it is still extremely vast, with no end visible at a glance. There are densely distributed rooms like secret chambers, and there are some holy places in the open space.
The knight is sitting on the ground with his feet off the ground, and the sacred fighting energy is swirling around him, as if he is practicing.
In a spacious hall, an old man wearing red armor on the inside and a white cloak on the outside stood quietly. The deacon of the Babel branch of the temple is called Haifeng, level???, and he can't even see the introduction.
Seeing this, he looked at me with burning eyes and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the people who came from the other world have grown to such an extent. Young man, your strength has reached the requirements of the Templars. Are you really willing to leave the giant?"
Join the Knights Guild in Lucheng and become a member of the Templars?"
"Yes I do!"
"good!"
Hai Feng stepped forward, pulled out his sword with a clang, slowly placed it on my shoulder, and said: "Now, kneel down and take an oath."
It stands to reason that the announcement of Tianxing's server launch has made it clear that players do not have to kneel during the entire game system. They have immunity and do not need to kneel even when they see the emperor. After all, human dignity is priceless and players are all citizens.
, has the right to choose oneself, but the knight's oath is an exception, because it is more about faith.
"Keng!"
The armor protecting my knees lightly hit the stone bricks. I knelt on one knee, looked at Deacon Haifeng with clear eyes, and recited the knight's declaration word for word——
I vow to be kind to the weak;
I swear to stand up to*;
I vow to fight against all wrong;
I swear to fight for the defenseless;
I swear to help my brother knight;
I swear to be true to my friends;
I swear that I will stay with the one I love until death.
I will protect you until the end by betting on the glory of this sword.
Live with honor, die with honor, your heart is such a sword, it would rather break than bend!
…
"Ding!"
