"Wright, why are you here?"
Archbishop Duer rushed in with an angry look on his face. He didn't even bother to say hello and directly questioned Wright.
Wright frowned and said: "The Great Demon King Kerrigan of the Abyss has gathered a heavy army of hell and is heading towards the City of Holy Angels.
You can sit there peacefully, I If I can't, I must find every possibility to save Holy Angel City.
Holy Angel City has stood in this world and on this continent for thousands of years.
No matter how the dynasty rises, falls and changes, it has never fallen, and it will never fall now. "
Duer snorted coldly and said: "So you just made your own decision and asked Xu Lai to run to Lion Heart City to die? "
Wright stood up angrily and said: "What does it mean to die?
In terms of level, His Majesty the King's hero level is as high as level 43, which is second only to the Abyss Demon King Kerrigan in the entire empire camp.
As for equipment, as far as I know, His Majesty the King has the super artifact suit Angel Alliance, the super artifact Doomsday Blade, and the holy artifact Holy Blood Bottle.
Needless to say, how much life can a single sacred blood bottle add to the lives of colleagues in Holy Angel City?
In terms of attributes and abilities, after all, the real body of the Abyss Demon King cannot penetrate the sacred barrier, and there is no hero in the hell camp to obtain the Tears of Asha.
No matter how many specializations Kerrigan has, they can only be the ultimate at most. His Majesty the King has erected a statue of the God of War, but he has at least one god-level specialization.
In terms of attributes, His Majesty the King may be slightly worse.
But at this moment of life and death, the Congress and the church came forward together to allow His Majesty the King to take the opportunity to visit a few more attribute points and upgrade points. There was absolutely no problem.
It can be said that after several visits to the entire empire, except His Majesty the King, no one can be found who can stand up to Kerrigan. "
Duer took a deep breath and said to Wright: "Archbishop Wright, I hope you can calm down.
The order given to us by the temple is to exchange space for time. Hell has thousands of years of accumulation, and it is inevitable that we will be at a disadvantage in a short period of time.
But as long as we are given more time and let the new generation grow up, we can turn defeat into victory.
Isn’t it because the temple sent you, the dean of the Priest College, to rebuild the temple in the Eagle Kingdom?
Yes, Xu Lai is indeed the best candidate to fight Kerrigan as the commander-in-chief of the empire.
However, is this time the right time?
There are many troops in Lion Heart City, but will those grand dukes hand over the command of the troops to Xu Lai?
In the final analysis, Xu Lai is just a descendant hero who has nothing to do with the empire.
Let them leave their troops to outsiders to lead, let alone you, even His Majesty the Pope himself would not be able to do this.
It is impossible for the troops in Lion Heart City to be handed over to Xu Lai's command. Will the reinforcements coming from major cities and camps recognize Xu Lai?
I am afraid that by then, except for some people in the temple, Xu Lai will not be able to command anyone.
Not to mention outsiders, even the temple’s own people, how many people can trust Xu Lai.
Is it the few knights who withdrew from the Western Empire, or the first knights who stayed in the City of Holy Angels?
They also all have their own chosen legion commanders. Is it possible for you to go over and ask them to give way at this time? ”
Duer asked several questions in a loud voice, leaving Wright almost speechless.
The reason why it is almost is because no matter what Duer said, even Wright himself admitted that Xu Lai would definitely be ostracized after going to Lion Heart City.
However, Wright identified Xu Lai and believed that only he could save Lionheart City and the Holy Angel City that had stood for thousands of years.
In fact, not only Wright, but Doerr also thinks so.
But so what, no matter how powerful the commander is, he cannot lead a divided army.
As the imperial capital, Lionheart City has a lot of troops, but those are nominally the armies of the Supreme King.
After the Parliament took power, almost all the armies in the imperial capital were dismembered and divided into different noble leaders.
They cannot reach unity among themselves, and it is even more foolish to let Xu Lai, an outsider, lead them.
The Pope had already anticipated this situation, and then threw Duer, Pierce and Lina all into Qingfeng City.
The two advent heroes who grew up from the Western Empire are not low in level, and their equipment is not bad. No matter how bad it is, with the support of the temple, it is still no problem to replace them with a few artifacts.
Like the knights who came back from the Western Empire, after working with Xu Lai, Lina and the others were only willing to trust Xu Lai.
Rather than leaving them to fester in Holy Angel City, it is better to send them out and leave a seed of hope for the temple.
The temple mobilizes more than one million believers, or more than one million young and strong believers, at least one out of ten.
The influence of these believers in the future will be huge.
No matter what industry they are engaged in, they will become the vanguard and backbone members of this industry, thus affecting more people.
Believers are the most basic. With a huge group of believers and Wright, the dean of the Pastoral College, it is only a matter of time before a sufficient number of pastors are trained.
As for what is missing, the Cathedral of Holy Angels, which is like a city, can actually be built at a small cost as long as you have money and land.
On the contrary, Qingfeng City also possesses something like the God of War statue, which is considered a sacred object to everyone in the temple.
This is unmatched by even the City of Holy Angels.
With these conditions in place, even if Holy Angel City in Lion Heart City was destroyed, the temple would not be destroyed.
The Pope had already anticipated this situation after using the divine descending technique.
The damage he caused to Kerrigan and the hell camp was too great.
And he himself also suffered extremely serious damage to his body due to long-term use of God's Fall.
Such a good opportunity is really impossible to let go even if you beat the opponent to death.
After more than half a year of rest, even if Hell has not completely recovered, it can’t wait to go to the temple for revenge as proof.
"Yes, everything you said is right, but I just can't sit back and watch the City of Holy Angels be destroyed.
His Majesty the King, our temple has spared no effort in supporting you for more than a year.
Isn’t this level of support enough for you to take a risk and go to Lion Heart City?
I can guarantee it with my life. If something goes wrong, or Lion Heart City is about to be destroyed, and I and all the clergy in the temple will escort you out of the city at the risk of our lives."
"Bishop Wright, do you want to disobey the Pope's order?
Have you forgotten why His Majesty the Pope brought us here?
Do you still want to go back at this time? Do you know that once you go back at this time, there is a high possibility that you will never come out again.
When the time comes, who will preach to His Majesty the God of War, and who will train priests? "
After a moment of silence, Wright said: "I don't know, don't ask me.
I also want to answer you, but I can’t.
No matter what, I must go back. Mr. Xu Lai, will you follow me? "
Xu Lai, who had been silent, interrupted Duer and Yu Lan, who were trying to continue to defend Xu Lai, and said to Wright:
"What I must admit is that along the way, , the temple has been of great help to me. But what I must also tell you is that I don’t owe you, nor do I owe the temple.
I think back then, High Priest Ryan just helped me resurrect some knights, gave me a chance to study in a military academy, and also gave me a pair of precious knight gloves.
Then I took the less than a hundred knights with me and ran into the wilderness to take risks, regardless of the danger to my life.
You may not be interested in knowing what kind of risks I, a little hero who was not over 100 years old, experienced in the wilderness at that time.
You probably don’t want to know that even though I have nothing to do with you, I plunged into the Northern Empire and lived in the Emerald City with you.
Trapped Sellon with the shackles of war, and engage in a life-and-death battle.
Yes, your temple has been of great help to me, but I think I have never taken advantage of you.
When His Majesty the Pope first met me, he gave me an extremely precious gift.
So when Bishop Duer came to me and said that he would send over one million believers, I agreed without saying a word.
In order to prevent so many people from being wronged, do you know how many times the price I have to pay to buy food that will prevent people from starving to death?
In order to accommodate so many people, I asked the herdsmen from the grassland to move here. They suffered a lot of grievances when they moved here.
The Congress Scroll is very precious, but I can still establish a country without a Congress, just like the four great empires of East, West, North and South.
But without the food I bought at a huge cost, you would have starved to death. How many people would have froze to death?
Now, Bishop Wright, I can tell you very clearly that I do not owe you the temple.
Even if I owe you, it’s not your turn to ask for this favor from me.
I am willing to go because I cherish my friendship with you. If I don’t go, that is what I should do.
And I can answer you now, I will not go. It is impossible for me to agree to such a meaningless and risky thing.
What's more, I no longer live alone for myself, and the responsibilities I bear no longer support me in taking risks. "
After that, Xu Lai no longer gave Wright and Duer a chance to talk, and stood up directly and said:
"Let's see the guests off. ”
A long time ago, after taking over the Knights, Xu Lai had refused the temple’s funding for him.
He didn’t want to be like Christine, who owed money to the temple that could never be repaid. Clear the debt and lose your independent personality
This made his struggle along the way much more difficult than that of Christine and the others, but it also allowed him to say these words today without any guilt or pressure.
Of course he still has friendship with the archbishops and knight commanders in the temple.
But this friendship is really not enough to support him to take such a huge risk.
Once he fails to come back, the newly established Eagle Kingdom will inevitably fall apart.
Leina owed him a huge favor, so she was willing to be loyal to him. It was not Xu Lai who imprisoned him.
As long as Xu Lai is gone, it can be expected that Reina will not be able to sit back and watch the elves being ravaged by the undead.
Without Reina, the huge Eagle Kingdom would be surprised to find no one who could hold up the situation.
Su Ya is capable and loyal, but in the end she is just a general, not a hero.
If Xu Lai is alone, there is nothing to worry about.
However, he is no longer alone now. He is married, has a wife, and will even have his own child in a while.
At this time, Xu Lai really couldn't afford the price of failure.
What's more, just as Duer said, even if he arrives in the imperial capital, he will not be recognized by others.
Xu Lai had never even seen those big nobles in person. Even if they gave him all their soldiers and generals, he didn't dare to really trust them.
If he can bring the entire Qingfeng Legion and Knight Wind into the imperial capital together, then he might still have some confidence.
However, although he can persuade others, he himself is always a little conscience-stricken.
No matter what, this time, it was Xu Lai who owed the temple a favor.
The believers sent by the temple are expensive to relocate, but these are young and strong, and they are the best source of labor and reserve troops.
In the future, they will be able to provide a large amount of tax revenue and food, but it will still be him, Xu Lai, who takes advantage in the end.
Coupled with the congressional drawings and the obelisk map, Xu Lai was able to convince others, but he could never deceive himself.
After seeing off Wright and Duer, Yu Lan rushed over with a sad look on her face and said to Xu Lai:
"Lang Jun, are you really thinking about going to Lion Heart City?"
Yu Lan knew Xu Lai relatively well. Seeing him standing by the railing and looking at the river with a sad look on his face, I knew there was definitely something going on in his heart.
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, I am with you now. I live a fairy life every day. I have been very afraid of death for a long time."
Yu Lan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It's best for Mr. Lang to be like this. If you continue to take risks like before, Elena may not be able to even raise a baby with peace of mind."
After a pause, Yu Lan added: "I know you feel uncomfortable, Lang Jun. I think you are still thinking about the temple that helped Lang Jun.
Does Lang Jun want to do something? "
Xu Lai was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Land and said: "What did you guess again? "
Yu Lan stuck out her tongue, squeezed into Xu Lai's arms and said:
"After seeing off Wright and Duer, you quietly climbed up to the tower of the castle to blow the river. Feng, do you have any thoughts about the land south of Hanjiang River? ”
Xu Lai looked into the distance. The smell of sulfur became stronger and stronger, and he saw more and more volcanoes.
Obviously, the land south of Hanjiang is gradually transforming into the lava terrain of hell.
Now and in the past, not only can we prevent the complete transformation of the terrain in time, but we can also take advantage of the empty time when Hell's troops are gathering to recapture more land and cities.
And this area is on the verge of hell's control. There may be many people hiding in the countryside or in hidden corners.
If we don’t seize this opportunity, there may really be nothing left for Xu Lai by then.
The most important thing is that maybe he can launch an attack on Hell at this time, and maybe he can really contain some of Hell's troops.
I don’t dare to say how much confidence I can gain for the temple, but I can always gain a little more hope.
“Originally I wanted to wait for Emilia and her mother to arrive, but now I can’t wait any longer.
I leave Hantan City to you. All construction projects are not progressing at all. Fallen.
In addition, we will mobilize a batch of resources from Qingfeng City. The cruiser must continue to be built and the shipyard cannot be stopped." (End of Chapter)
