Rhodes was walking in the ruins of Elengrad. He was wearing armor made of bear bones and cold iron. He was holding a mithril weapon in his hand. He was also wearing iron plate armor. Many of the equipment were new.
, but it has been baptized by the fire of war. The Armor of Esun has long been covered with pitted scars. No one knows how many wars this piece of equipment has experienced since its birth. All they know is that it finally fell into the hands of the King of the North.
There is also the mithril battle ax that once cut off the head of the beastman leader, and also once fought against the strongest orc in the Middle Ages - Grimgor Ironhide.
In the north of Kislev, the temperature in early autumn is already very low, and it has begun to snow in some places. Stepping on the ruined land and looking at the devastated city, Rhodes was filled with emotion. The last time he came here was five years ago.
At that time, Elengrad was suffering from a brutal massacre. Five years later, when I set foot on this land again, the people were still hungry and poor. In this land, the war seemed to have never stopped.
In the distance, the dome of the Great Temple of Thor is vaguely visible. During the last battle of Elengrad, the Temple of the God of Thunder, the Temple of the Vulcan and the Temple of the Bear God protected many people. As the Chosen Son of God, Rhodes felt the need to go in and worship.
Ichiban. Without the blessing of the gods, he is just an ordinary person.
On the way, a large number of knights appeared at the end of the scorched city avenue. Rhodes knew that they were the Black Rose Knights in Alves' letter. They must have taken a boat to go south after Erengrad was captured.
Land at the old port and meet up with yourself.
To be honest, although the Black Rose Knights are powerful, Rhodes did not expect it to join this war. Because, although this Knights belongs to the Moorish sect, it is still part of the official empire background. The top brass of the Knights and
The empire has more or less connections. But no matter what, they helped him defeat Elengrad's naval fleet, and he still has to thank them.
When this knight troop approached, Rhodes discovered that some of these people were familiar faces to him - Daft.
Moorish believer, Night Crowman Daft's face was filled with excitement and pride. He once fought side by side with the white bear lord, who is now the King of the North. In the dark land of Kislev, Luo
De can be said to be one of the few lords who supports the Moorish religion. Daft will never forget that when a large-scale rebellion broke out in old Erengrad and Queen Catalina wiped out the Moorish believers in the country, it was Rhodes who protected them.
Leave this country, leave this land.
Now, they are back again, bringing troops and armor with a grateful heart. Although their fleet suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Blackhammer Bay, this was only the first time they landed in Kislev again.
According to the intention of the High Priest of the Moorish Cult of the Empire, the Black Rose Knights will once again provide protection for the development of the Moorish Cult in Kislev. And the first goal they must unite with is Rhodes, who was pretty good for the Moorish Cult at the beginning...
Rhodes could not guess the specific purpose of the Knights' landing in Kislev, but in any case, without the help of the Black Rose Knights, Elengrad would not have been conquered so easily. It can be said that the victory of the Battle of Blackhammer Bay
The capture of Oerengrad reversed the entire war situation, allowing the originally weak northern forces to suddenly strengthen a lot. It reached a situation where they could be evenly matched with the Kislev regular army. Of course, if the southern lords joined the war, it would be completely
On Katarina's side, the North still has no advantage. After all, after two wars, Elengrad is no longer the most prosperous city in the north. After the siege, its economic strength is even worse than that of Black Hammer.
Fort...
"We meet again, brother."
Daft hugged Rhodes, who was wearing a manticore cloak. On the vast ruins, they hugged each other tightly like old friends they had not seen for many years. Indeed, the Ice Queen arranged for Rhodes to hunt down the Ghoul King.
command, without Daft's help, I am afraid that he would have become the Ghoul King's dinner by then.
Although he is not the most powerful warrior, Daft is undoubtedly the knight with good character.
Rhodes noticed that behind his old friend, there were several tall knights in gray armor standing. When Daft hugged Rhodes unpreparedly, these knights in heavy armor kept staring from behind.
Rhodes guessed that this was the famous sworn knight in the Moorish sect, who specialized in protecting important clergy in the Moorish sect.
The warriors further away wearing black mail and holding various weapons should be the Moorish Black Guards. Different from the Moorish organization that roamed Kislev in the past, the huge knights have the most formal configuration.
Warriors and knights who have experienced many battles are experts at dealing with all kinds of undead creatures.
"I didn't expect you to come back again. The land of Kislev is full of evil and darkness, killing and bloodshed. It doesn't stop year after year."
Rhodes sighed.
"That's why I will come back."
Daft replied with a smile. The wolf smoke in the distance had not dispersed, and the sky at the port was smoked gray. The Moors began to wander around, cleaning up the city.
"Tell me about your experience after leaving Blackhammer Castle."
Rhodes asked, four years ago, Daft, a Night Crow man, took a boat from Blackhammer Castle to the Empire. In order to protect this Moorish Christian, Blackhammer Castle was also searched by the Frost Witch.
"I traveled all the way from Baker Port, rested at various Moorish strongholds in the empire, and finally arrived at Altdorf." Daft said, "Finally, I met with the Archbishop and relayed to him what happened in Kislev.
"
"So your Archbishop agrees to form a knightly order to protect the Moors from landing in Kislev again?"
Rhodes asked.
"It's not that simple. Even the Archbishop cannot launch the Knights alone. We have had many discussions at the headquarters. The cost of going to Kislev again must be huge. As you said, this country, this country
The land is at war almost every year, and in such a turbulent situation, dispatching the Knights is extremely risky. At the very least, the expenses are huge."
Daft said, squinting his eyes and looking around. As he said, wars and smoke are everywhere here, and death happens every moment. In such a war-torn country, the average lifespan of civilians will not be
Over thirty years old.
"However, too many people have died, and the wind of death is prevalent in Kislev. Therefore, the final result of the discussion is - we must land in Kislev again. Where there is death, there are Moors. This is
