.News (IV)

From the end of the holiday and then I started working, I found that after a year, I had messed up my work routine, and now I'm in a mess. My mind is a little confused~~

Sad days

"This is the only combat priest in the temple and the leader of the priest regiment. You can call him Pastor Mark Twain." The great priest Lockhee Rather, who led Chen Kai into the priest hall, pointed to a priest sitting on the left in the center and said. Chen Kai could feel the rich sacred power emitted from him, and of course, there was a similar fragrance that he almost forgot. At this moment, Chen Kai recalled that he seemed to have asked this on Bishop Rong's body.

The smell is the incense used by the combat priests to cover up the bloody smell on their bodies. Of course, this is not the incense of the combat priests, but they do not want to pray in front of the gods with the smell of blood all over their bodies. Moreover, the targets of their battle are evil heretics, and the smell of blood on their bodies is not very pleasant. But then again, when fighting against heretics and terrifying creatures, the Templar Knights do not use incense much, so Chen Kai does not have that smell.

"There is also a moment of silence for our brave Knight Lillsard, hoping that he can return to the great kingdom of the Dawn Lord." The great priest said in a very regretful tone, then took out a helmet with dirty blood and a broken sword from the space ring and inserted it into the empty seat of the right hand in the center. According to Chen Kai's understanding of the seat arrangement of the Temple Priest Hall, that position should be the position of the head of the Temple Knight who guards the Temple. However, now the group obviously has gone to see Antolo, and it is estimated that the two master gods will have to negotiate until he returns to the kingdom of the Dawn Lord.

Looking at the broken helmet and the broken sword placed on the chair, Chen Kai once again had a new estimate of the strength of Nokbe's ghoul. At the same time, he felt that the form was probably more difficult than he thought. After all, a ghoul who could kill at least the eighth level knight commander was definitely a terrifying existence, and forced the leader of the Templar Knight Commander to escape without even being able to escape. Obviously, the other party's strength was much stronger than that leader.

"Sorry, Lord Grand Priest, I want to ask when the reinforcements will arrive. According to the information I received, Sanolaser's troops are now difficult to resist those ghouls." After everyone was seated, Chen Kai couldn't help but stand up and ask. When he didn't stand up, it was already very conspicuous. After all, the entire priest hall except for him, the Templar Knight, who was standing. Moreover, it was an unusual thing to be able to enter the priest hall to discuss matters as a traveler.

"I don't think we will have reinforcements, in fact, there is even more unfortunate news here. This is at least thirteen places of ghouls appearing on the entire Golden Plain that have just been conveyed from the main temple of the City of Dawn through the inner magic circle, and they have begun to spread out. The most important thing is that these areas are all places marked with filth, that is, after our temple personnel are expelled, they are completely occupied by ghouls. Therefore, I have reason to believe that the nobles in some areas have completely fallen." Pastor Mark Twain said loudly, waving his fists. When he began to say the unfortunate news, he was a little low, but the more he got to the back, the more intense the sound it became, as if he wanted to kill the depraved nobles with his own hands.

"Okay, Pastor Mark Twain, please pay attention to your emotions. At this time, I should not criticize the mistakes of those nobles, but should unite more people to overcome this difficulty. The most important thing is that we must hold Sanorass before we assemble enough troops in the temple. Because we have reason to believe that the main attack direction of those ghouls is definitely the Temple Holy Mountain, not the imperial capital with a large number of defensive troops." The great priest knocked on his chair, and the crisp voice interrupted the words of Pastor Mark Twain, but his words behind him made all those who participated in the meeting silence. Everyone knew how much the situation was now. From the map shown by the spell, Chen Kai could see that at least three small towns with ghoul disasters were around Sanorass, and the closest distance was only fifty-six kilometers.

"It's really unfortunate news." Chen Kai looked at the west gate of Sanolaser with three black arrows pointing toward Sanolaser. He seemed to see tens of thousands of pale-skinned ghouls appearing outside the gate. The situation was definitely not inferior to the battle of Zera Fortress that ended not long ago.

"I think we will have great difficulties. Now Sanolaser's strength is seriously insufficient. We not only lack enough guards, but also enough spell casters and clergy. Although this should actually give the lord a headache, we have to consider these things. After all, we are also one of the founders of this city." Sitting next to the seat of the Knights of the Templar was Ramolasern, the deputy commander of the Knights. He is a serious person, at least that's what Chen Kai thinks.

"In addition, our scouts got even worse news. Two ghoul lords appeared among the ghouls attacking the lords' troops and the Knights of the Temple, and our Lillsad commander died in the hands of the two ghoul lords." Sitting on the lower left hand was the scouts of the temple, of course, belonging to the non-staff, but at the same level as Chen Kai. Because at least they have seats, Chen Kai can only stand.

"Is there any worse news?" Chen Kai squatted on the ground depressedly towards the temple scout who stood up and talked. Even as a non-staff member of the temple, the scout was still wearing the temple's battle robe, and the pure white and gold cloak covered his head, making it impossible for people around him to see his face clearly.

"It should be considered bad news for you, because according to their route, the Xicheng Gate is definitely their first attack point." After the scout leader said that, he looked at Chen Kai with pity, because he knew that Chen Kai was the leader of the swordsman regiment guarding the Xicheng Gate, and facing the two ghoul lords head-on would be a life-and-death ending.

"Don't be too pessimistic to Knight Berkner. I think the two ghoul lords should be solved by the senior personnel in the territory when the battle is over. As for you, just guard the city gates well," said the great priest comforted Chen Kai. In fact, everyone in his heart knew that this sentence was absolutely unreliable, because the city was too big. The entire Sanorath level above the eighth level was only a few hundred people, and there were only two at the Santa Realm level, and they were still old old mages, and they were almost touching the grave. Although their strength could kill the two ghouls directly, the premise was that they had the chance to get close to those two guys.

When Chen Kai walked out of the temple, he was full of bad news, because when the meeting was about to end, the people from the scout group of the temple suddenly broke in, bringing bad news again. The ghouls from the other two towns were also moving quickly towards Sanoras, and had moved to the northwest and southwest borders of the city. In addition to the ghoul lords, there were several dark mages. The faces of these mages were very similar to those of the guardians and lords in the towns in the past. After hearing this news, I read the whole hall of the council.

Chen Kai's eyes were full of expectations and mercy, and of course there were more sighs. In the end, Chen Kai got ten military priests, and two of them were higher healing priests in the Temple of Life. There were only four temples in the entire Sanorather, the first was the Temple of the Dawn Light, and the second was the Temple of the Goddess of Life. The third was the Temple of Antoluo Shen without any guards, and the last was the Temple of the Goddess of Earth. However, now the Archbishop of the Goddess of Earth has fallen, and the entire temple has begun to decline and there is no enough power to help guard the city.

However, when Chen Kai returned to the hotel, he met the Swordsman Training Officer who helped him train soldiers. The other party informed him that his troops had increased, from one Swordsman to two. Obviously, the lord also received news about the action of ghouls in the other two directions, so he added manpower to Chen Kai. But what surprised him was that the newly added members of the Swordsman were all players, which made Chen Kai more depressed. He had no problem subduing a group of indigenous people, and at most he showed his strength, but he wanted to use force.

Chen Kai had a headache by subduing a group of players. So Chen Kai directly threw the training of players to the training officer who came to report the news, and specifically pointed out that the training intensity of the players was twice that of the indigenous soldiers. Only in this way can the players not have the mind to make trouble for Chen Kai. Of course, this is just a solution. After all, the speed of players recovering their energy is much faster than that of the indigenous people, but at least they will not have too many complaints during training. After all, training can increase experience value and the speed is not slower than fighting monsters.

After sending the training officer away, Chen Kai closed the door again and planned to go offline to search for some information, but before he could climb onto the bed, the door that had just closed was knocked again. He felt extremely helpless and could only get up from the bed and prepare to open the door, but when he opened the door, the figure he saw was a little girl, and the kind he was more familiar with.

"Wife, why are you here?" Looking at the familiar little girl in front of you, Chen Kai felt very strange, because in his opinion, this little girl who had lost her relatives should be sent to an orphanage set up by the lord or an orphanage set up by the temple.

"Sanorass' orphanage is stuffed with children. We really don't know where to send her. You know, with us mercenaries, she will only be an ordinary mercenary material for the rest of her life. I heard that you have arrived here and I brought her here. I hope you can adopt her for the sake of Lord Luhanard." Standing in front of Chen Kai was the mercenary commander Nosadri. His cheek was left with a black scar. The black scar was the trauma left by the ghoul's claws. But he was lucky, and after he was treated with divine magic, he got rid of the danger of corpse transformation.

"Come in and sit down, I'm sorry for his death." Chen Kai led Nosadri into the room and picked up Weif with tears on his face. However, he found that the little girl was obviously suffering too much danger, and her voice temporarily lost its voice. Therefore, he could not hear the little girl's sweet voice, and could only hear her sobs slightly.

"It's okay that you have done well enough. It is very normal for us as mercenaries to die in the mission. And this time we can survive so many people thanks to the help of Lord Luhanard. If it weren't for our drag, he would probably not have died." Nosadri was very depressed sitting at the table. In the battle against the ghouls, no matter how powerful his fighting spirit was, he could not stop the invasion of the injured corpse poison. In the end, he was spared by Luhanard's magic, and it was precisely because he helped them release too many magical skills that Luhanard was besieged and died because of exhaustion. The mercenaries who have been helping their employers solve the problem felt that their people were useless and seemed extremely depressed.

"Is your people good now?" Chen Kai brought out a coffee pot and poured a cup of hot coffee for the mercenary leader. Of course, he also prepared a creamy snack and a cup of hot cocoa for the little girl. He hoped that the sweet things could help the little girl get rid of her sadness, but it made him regret that he had no appetite for the tight sweet food in front of him.

"Not very good! In fact, we have all received the order of the lord, but we who escaped from Nocoby almost lost the courage to fight those ghouls. We are afraid, do you know? As mercenaries, we are afraid of fighting, which means we can no longer eat the mercenary, but we are really scared. We are afraid that like those poor people of Nocoby, we will become monsters that have no consciousness and only know how to eat meat, and will become ghouls that cannot be recognized by relatives or even their own children can kill them.

I was afraid of being hurt and could only wait quietly for death. Those damn dark mages attached terrible corpse poison to the ghoul's claws. These corpse poisons have very powerful darkness and death power. Ordinary fighting spirit cannot resist this corpse poison at all, and the antidote is simply ineffective. If it weren't for the power of the magic, we probably wouldn't have come back." Nothadri said in a silence. Chen Kai found that his hands holding coffee were trembling when he spoke. Obviously, None of the fights lost the old mercenary.

"But you should know that there is no way to leave Sanoras, and where can you go even if you escape? At least thirteen towns on the plain have had a disaster of ghouls. They are now expanding and gradually oppressing towards the Holy Mountain. Maybe as long as you leave the protection of the city, you will immediately fall into endless ghouls attacks, so even if you don't want to fight, you must draw out your weapons, or die if you close your eyes." Chen Kai looked at the mercenary commander, and his words made the man opposite a little surprised, of course, more shocked, because the coffee cup in his hand was scared. Originally, he thought that the ghoul disaster was only Nocobe, but now the news he heard was like the end of the world.

"I was also shocked when I heard this news, but the difficulties I encountered were even more serious than you, because I was about to bring a group of newcomers who had never been to the battlefield to fight against those ghouls. These little guys may not have seen what ghouls look like. The only thing I hope is that they will not wet their pants when they see those moving corpses." Chen Kai sighed. To be honest, he was really afraid that the new recruits who had not been to the battlefield would not act as deserters, because in that case, Chen Kai would have to set up a law enforcement team to kill them, which was what he least wanted to see.

"Then what do you want me to do for you? Help you train soldiers? Or help you fight?" Nosadri looked at Chen Kai helplessly. Obviously he knew Chen Kai's plan. Obviously he hoped that their mercenaries who had fought with ghouls would join the newcomers. They might act as law enforcement teams, or as reserve teams, and of course they might act as the final shield.

"The Lord will do the training of soldiers. In fact, I am about the same as you, but you just want to complete this task earlier for gold coins. Of course, you have more one more thing now, that is, to survive in this battle." Chen Kai knew that the person in front of him had agreed to his request. Of course, Chen Kai could not pass over the lord and hire him gold coins, because that was not his authority. After all, the lord was recruited.

"But do you think you have the opportunity to transfer me to yours?" Nosadri expressed his last question, because they were conscripted by the lords, and the mercenaries who were conscripted during the war were unable to accept employment from others. Any employment agreement or verbal agreement is not recognized, and they will also be considered as contempt of the lord or intentional rebellion.

"Of course you can just wait." Chen Kai smiled at the other party, then stroked the poor Weifu's hair. The poor little girl had just eaten a little sweets and fell asleep on the bed. The poor little dragon Donnie has now become a little girl's pillow, and is being hugged tightly by the other party. However, what made Chen Kai more depressed was that he didn't feel that the little dragon, whose body was cold and whose scales were hard, had the potential to hug her pillow.

On the afternoon of that day, Nosadri appeared in Chen Kai's swordsman camp, and behind him were all the remaining members of the mercenary group. They lost a swordsman and a scout in the battle where Nokbi escaped, but their overall strength was still preserved. Although they were very surprised by Chen Kai's vast magical behavior, they were more at ease when they saw the ten temple priests in the swordsman camp. At least they didn't have to worry about not having any divine skills to heal after being injured.

Originally, Chen Kai wanted to hold a welcome meeting or speech to adjust the atmosphere after entering the camp in Nosadri. At the same time, he could also check the team's training progress, but what made him depressed was that he had received very bad news as soon as he arrived at the Swordsman Camp.
