Chapter 340: The Archbishop’s Request
Sixth Knights, most of the knights have been resurrected, regardless of rank.
This news did not spread very much. Only a few crimson archbishops and archbishops knew about it.
When the Sixth Knights returned to their base, it was already late at night, and no one had counted how many people had returned.
What's more, this is not a secret that needs to be kept secret, it is just to give the bishops a step forward.
After running around for several days in a row, Xu Lai had no interest in going out to level up as the new January arrived.
The wild monsters near Aiweike were easily killed by the knights patrolling nearby as soon as they were born in the middle of the night.
Wild monsters cannot gather together, and of course they cannot collect any precious treasures.
Farther away, there might be a group of wild monsters, but Xu Lai was not interested.
The new January is called the Wind-Chasing Moon.
The attributes are very simple. The movement speed of all troops is increased by 10%, the attack speed is increased by 10%, the damage of air spells is increased by 25%, and the number of air elements (summoned air elements) is increased by 50%.
Because of this attribute, there are many air elements born in the wild.
The air element is a relatively basic elemental creature in the elemental camp. It is only level 2 and its attributes are not very good.
But after the air element is upgraded, it becomes more powerful when it is advanced into the thunder element, and it directly becomes a long-range weapon.
As you move up the level, you will advance from the thunder element to the wind element. After the intermediate level, it becomes even more exaggerated, becoming a unit that is fast and can shoot lightning.
The wind element at level 4 is already very strong, and people can continue to evolve to level 5, which has the group-accelerating storm element.
In the elemental camp, all basic elements, except spiritual elements, are basically not powerful no matter how high their level is.
But as long as they advance a little, most of them will come up with some tricks.
For example, after the water element evolves into the ice element, it also has long-range capabilities and can slow down enemies.
As long as there are a little more air elements in the wild, a lot of thunder elements will inevitably be generated. Thunder elements are only at level 3. Even if there are many, they will probably only be black iron or bronze level treasure chests at most.
Xu Lai can now see a little bit of the treasure chest, which requires at least a silver-level treasure chest. If the gold-level treasure chest is estimated to be guarded, the target becomes the Storm Lord.
If these things are physically attacked, Xu Lai will not be afraid even if there are more of them.
Elemental creatures, except for earth elements and stone elements, basically attack with spells.
The most annoying thing for Xu Lai right now is spell attacks. He would rather take a rest in Ai Victor than bother to trouble these elemental creatures.
What's more, with continuous fighting, the knights also need to rest.
Xu Lai himself wanted to rest, but he had many things to do and had no time or energy.
First, Nofa helped him purchase materials. He traveled to several nearby cities and helped Xu Lai raise a large amount of stones.
If these stones have to be transported back by hiring a mercenary group, the cost will increase by who knows how many times. It is hard to say when or whether they can be transported.
100,000 gold coins of stone is not a small number. Even if Xu Lai takes out all his supply trucks, it will not be enough.
There is destined to be a lot of stone, which must be transported by large transport vehicles.
The empire does not have beasts like the orc Kodo, but high-level bison pulling carts can still be purchased, but they will not be too fast.
If there was nothing he could do before, Xu Lai might ask Nofa to help him find a mercenary group and a transportation team. Now that he is back, the worst he can do is open a time and space gate.
Of course, it can’t be opened now, otherwise there will be no way to come back. Lina and Archbishop Wright will probably have to jump in a hurry.
There is no way, Xu Lai has proven his strength.
Sweeping with the cavalry on the advantageous terrain of hell, the opponent could not catch up even if they dispatched flying troops that ignored the terrain and obstacles, and even used magic acceleration.
Relying on his speed advantage, Xu Lai had the opportunity to take advantage of the fire.
Otherwise, if someone else leads the team, even if the apprentice knight's horse is level 5, others can easily catch up and surround them.
Then there is the improvement in combat effectiveness. Wearing the forbidden magic ball to fight the mage hero is like an adult bullying a child.
Without the bonus of offensive and defensive skills, the troops of mage heroes will be reduced by three or four levels on average. Even if there are many, they will only be beaten.
The combat effectiveness of an army is not only related to quantity, but quality is also extremely important.
After Xu Lai joined the Sixth Knights, the knights of the Sixth Knights quickly adapted to this bonus. If they were to return to their previous state to fight, it would probably take a long time for them to adapt.
Therefore, he cannot leave so irresponsibly, he must first create his own territory.
This kind of thing should be dealt with by the nobles of the Northern Empire. However, Xu Lai has no friendship with them and has grudges with several big nobles.
Of course, it is not Xu Lai who is anxious about this kind of thing, but it should be the temple bishops who need Xu Lai more and more at this time.
On the one hand, it comes from Xu Lai's terrifying bonus, and on the other hand, he now holds a powerful weapon to restrain the hell camp.
As expected, before Xu Lai had time to finish chatting with Nofa, the archbishop over there sent someone to invite him, and it was jointly sent by three crimson archbishops. In order to meet with Xu Lai, Kemiller and Neil all stopped what they were doing. Of course, Xu Lai couldn't put on airs.
Let Nofa rest in the camp first. He took his personal bodyguards Elvi and Tahan, as well as Lina, the current deputy commander of the Sixth Knights, to the cathedral. Go.
The venue for this meeting is no longer a loose chapel, but a very formal meeting hall.
The person standing guard at the door was upgraded from a knight to a paladin, and all the waiters of the Crimson Archbishop were blocked outside.
The two people following Xu Lai, Tahan, were also turned away. Only Level 9 Elvi was allowed to enter.
Tahan doesn’t know invincibility spells anyway, and it’s impossible to switch to being a paladin now. If there really is any danger in it, one more Tahan will have no effect.
In the meeting hall, there was only a long table and several rows of high-backed chairs. On one side of the long table, three archbishops in crimson robes were already sitting.
The other side of the long table was empty.
A row of tall, handsome men and beauties wearing cloaks with bulging backs stood behind the archbishops.
There is no doubt that they should be seraphs affiliated with the temple, but Xu Lai didn't know why the higher-level seraphs didn't take their seats.
There is a seat at the top and bottom of the long table, but the top seat is empty. Sitting on the bottom seat is the angel Xu Lai saw last night. Long Gilad.
When Xu Lai came in, Archbishop Wright, who had met Xu Lai once, stood up first and said:
"Your Excellency Xu Lai, you are here, please take your seat first."
< br>Speaking, Wright pointed to the top position on the opposite side.
Xu Lai glanced at it. The long table was very long, so long that 12 chairs could be placed on one side, and there was a lot of space between each seat.
However, opposite the 12 chairs, there are only eight seats. Compared with the 12 chairs here, they look a bit empty.
Without anyone else's explanation, Xu Lai guessed just by looking at the arrangement of the tables and chairs that this should be the highest-standard conference room in the temple.
The top position is obviously reserved for the Pope. Apart from the Pope, the temple is basically filled with 8th-level clergy. Naturally, they are not qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Pope.
Therefore, the person sitting opposite the Pope can only be one of the two archangels in the temple. The angel legions in the temple are also led by these two archangels.
Of course, under normal circumstances, these two archangels do not participate in temple meetings, and the position below is vacant most of the time.
Seeing this position, Xu Lai couldn't help but think, if the two archangels want to attend the meeting together, should they be allowed to sit together at the bottom?
Judging from the width of this table, I either can’t sit down on it, or it’s a bit unsightly.
The 12 positions on the left side are obviously prepared for the 12 crimson archbishops, and the right side should be for the 8 knight captains.
According to Wright's instructions, Xu Lai sat down at the top on the right side, while Elwe refused to sit and insisted on standing behind Xu Lai.
Seeing that Elvi refused to sit, Lina sat down next to Xu Lai. Since the other knight captains were not around, she could sit anywhere she wanted.
"Your Excellency Xu Lai, let me introduce you."
Archbishop Wright sat in the middle, on his left, sitting on the first chair at the top. Yes, it’s Archbishop Kemmel.
To his right, sitting is Crimson Archbishop Neil from the capital.
The three of them are all old men. Kemel is thin and has no expression on his face. He looks like he is not angry and has a strong sense of authority.
Wright has a gentle expression and the most balanced figure, neither fat nor thin.
Archbishop Neil, who came to support from the capital, is the fattest of the three, but he can't be called fat.
The face is more fleshy, the eyes are a bit small, and the smile is pretty.
This scene was quite strange. Xu Lai resisted the urge to complain and said hello to these three people one by one.
Actually, Xu Lai was coming even if they didn't call him to come. The task list Wright gave him could only count the merits he gained by killing the demon. The merits of completing the task still needed their second confirmation.
"We heard that Your Excellency Xu Lai's operation went very smoothly, and the forbidden magic ball was replaced two days ago."
The first person to speak was Kemmel, who was responsible for overviewing the overall situation.
Xu Lai nodded and said: "When I have collected enough merits, I will redeem them first. I don't like being in debt to others."
Kemele asked again: "Then "Excuse me, have you used the forbidden magic ball in the past two days?"
Xu Lai frowned and replied: "What does the archbishop mean by asking this?
Could it be that my own treasure was only taken care of by the temple for a few days, and I am no longer qualified to use it? "
Before Kemler and Wright could explain, the fat Archbishop Neal smiled and said:
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Xu Lai, the forbidden magic ball belongs to you, of course it is you. Use it however you want.
It’s just that the Forbidden Magic Ball has a huge effect on today’s humans.
Once this secret is exposed and Serron is alerted, our subsequent actions against him will have a high probability of failure. ”
