Chapter 69 Value for money
After this, the battle ended quickly.
The commander was killed in the first round of bombardment, and the Immortal Legion lost its backbone. Coupled with the weakening effect of the destruction barrier and the back and forth bombing of the Holy Spear, in just a short while, the originally aggressive Immortal Legion was completely wiped out, not even a little bit of scum left. Not long after, the battle came to an end, and with the fall of the last skeleton warrior, the defense line and the city wall suddenly burst into joy. No wonder these soldiers were so excited. Before this, any discerning person knew that this line of defense was almost impossible to defend. The only thing they could do was to delay time so that the rear could prepare for the second wave of the Immortal Legion as soon as possible. Many people were even ready to die here, but with the emergence of the dazzling tide of light, a miracle was born.
Until the end of the battle, some soldiers were still standing on the city wall, looking at the bones in front of them in disbelief, thinking that they were still dreaming. Just now, these overwhelming bone racks were almost completely killed, but now, they are standing here, and those bone racks are completely finished?!
"The Holy Soul is above!"
“Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!”
A eager call sounded, and with the call of everyone, the tide of light that originally covered the sky and the golden magic array gradually disappeared. Soon, the silver-white light column condensed again and disappeared under the night.
Perfect.
Rhode turned the ring in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. This was also a "rehearsal" of the Saint Girl. Now it seems that its performance is very outstanding, just like in the Land of Atonement, without any problems. Whether it is the operation of the power of the law or the destruction barrier, it looks very normal. This also made Rhode breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that Qi Lian is right. As long as it can be made, it can be used anywhere.
Thinking of this, Rhode nodded, and then made a gesture to the captain who had been stunned by the sight.
"Prepare to stop and unload."
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Rhode's words, the captain suddenly shook. Then he came to his senses, and then he hurriedly answered Rhode respectfully. It's not his fault. After all, he had never seen the boundless power of the Saint Girl before. At such a close distance, looking at the powerful power released by the artifact, he immediately felt an unprecedented shock and awe. When he thought that he was lucky enough to transport such a powerful artifact, the captain suddenly became more proud and proud. After he answered Rhode's words respectfully, he quickly turned around and left.
As a border defense line shrouded by the tide, it is naturally essential for the air port of the floating ship. After the signal light was turned on, someone soon guided the floating ship into a platform built next to it by Longteng Canyon, specially used to park the floating ship. At this moment, there were also many senior generals and officers standing there. As long as they were not blind, they could see that the previous light tide and the terrifying and powerful golden line magic circle were released from the ship. Originally, they thought this was a new weapon invented by the Royal Magic Fleet, but when they saw clearly that it was just a merchant ship, everyone was a little surprised. What was going on?
The old man shook his beard and stared at the huge merchant ship in front of him with curiosity. He could tell that it was the merchant ship of the Shania family, but why did it appear at this time?
Soon, under guidance, the floating boat gradually approached the port and then stopped steadily on the platform. Then, a few people walked out of it. When they saw one of the figures, the old general was stunned and then walked forward with big strides.
"Miss Marlene? Isn't this Miss Marlene? How did you come here?"
"Hello, General Anton."
Looking at the old general who was walking towards him, Marlin smiled slightly. Then nodded slightly to him.
"Long time no see. Seeing that your body is still so strong, I'm relieved."
"Oh... it's really changed... In the past, you were still a little girl who was only in her teens. At that time, I said you will definitely be a great beauty in the future. Look at it now, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk……………”
Looking at Marine in front of him, Anton couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, but soon, he looked at Marine curiously.
"But Miss Marin, why are you here? I haven't heard you are coming to Longteng Canyon recently? Is there something wrong with the Shania family?"
“That’s how it is.”
After hearing the old man's inquiry, Marlene then restrained her smile, and then she made a gesture to Rhode.
"I will first introduce you to the Lord of Parfield-Glenbel, Mr. Rhodes."
"oh?"
Hearing Marin's words, the old man turned his gaze to Rhodes. After seeing Rhodes' face, he was stunned and muttered something to say, but at this moment, Marin hurriedly gave the old man a wink. When he noticed the message Marin conveyed, the old man could only shrug and change what he originally planned to say.
"Hello, Lord Lord. I am Anton Hines, the commander in charge of the defense line of Longteng Canyon. Welcome to Longteng Canyon."
Although he spoke very respectful words on the surface, the old general still looked at Marin with some confusion. As a relatively close subordinate in the Shania family, he knew a little about what Marin had been doing for a while, but they should have come here not just to have tea and chat.
"That's right, General Anton."
Recognizing Anton's doubts, Rhode coughed lightly and then spoke.
“We are here to fulfill our reservation deal with Dragon Teng Canyon.”
"trade?"
Hearing this, General Anton frowned, as if he was a little confused. At this time, his adjutant, a young man, quietly ran to him, and lowered his voice and said to the old general: "General, you forgot, just before, there was no news from behind that Longteng Canyon needs to be repaired..."
"oh…………!!"
Hearing this, General Anton suddenly realized. He then remembered that he had indeed received news from the rear base more than ten days ago that they would spend money to buy a secret weapon that was enough to ensure that the defense line could not be defeated by the Immortal Legion. The reason why the old general remembered this was entirely because he heard that the thing was worth three million gold coins. The old general was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed the group of idiots in the rear who had no brains to buy something broken. It would be better to invest the money on the front line's defense and soldiers' equipment. And now... Thinking of this, the old general's eyes lit up.
"Does it mean…………?”
"Yes, General Anton, the first statue of the Holy Girl has been built, so we have transported it. According to prior discussion, this statue of the Holy Girl will be placed in the central position of the first line of defense. As for the specific location, please decide. As for its power…………”
Speaking of this, Marlin paused slightly, then smiled softly.
"I think you've seen it."
"Miss, what you said just now are the things we want?"
Hearing this, General Anton suddenly shone with his eyes and stared at Marin and asked. As a soldier, he certainly understood how powerful the tide of light and the huge light column falling from the sky were. Standing on the city wall, he saw with his own eyes that under the bombardment of the white light column, thousands of undead creatures were destroyed, not even a single scum left! It only takes a few seconds to complete all this! The holy soul is on top, such a powerful force. Is it your own now?
Thinking of this, even the old general who has always been calm and steady could not help but act like a child who was about to get a new toy.
"Where is that? Miss, where is that thing?"
"Please come with me."
Looking at General Anton in front of him, Marlene and Rhode looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Then, they brought General Anton to the statue of the Holy Girl standing on the deck. The Saint Girl, who had been closed at this moment, no longer emitted dazzling silver-white light as before. Instead, it was a faint light like a featherworm, with spots of light and dust surrounding it, bringing a holy and tranquil feeling to the entire statue.
When he saw the statue of the holy girl in front of him, not only General Anton, but even his subordinates widened their eyes in surprise. They surrounded the statue of the holy girl and carefully looked at the stone statue in front of him. If it hadn't been for experiencing its power, no one could have imagined that such a stone statue would have such a powerful force.
The old general stood in front of the stone statue and looked at it carefully. A beside the old man. An, who was responsible for Marlene as deputy, was talking to the old general about the performance, coverage and advantages and disadvantages of the Saint Girl statue. This is not a difficult thing. On the one hand, she also had some understanding of the Saint Girl statue in the fortress. On the other hand, before leaving, Rhodes wrote a manual according to the system instructions, which had detailed records of most of the functions of the Saint Girl statue, so it was naturally not a problem. But......Rhodes felt a little wrong as he listened. Although An said that these came were very informal and simple, he didn't know why, Rhodes always felt that this lady seemed to be doing pyramid schemes...
"Is this what you taught her?"
Rhode frowned, looked at An, then turned his head and asked Marlene. He was sure that this was not taught by him at least, and that instruction manual was completely in the official language, not as scattered and touching as An said now. Could it be that this lady's business talent finally bears off? But this is a little too much.
"this……………"
Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Marlene showed a somewhat awkward expression.
"This... was taught by Miss Qilian, and she said it was a business compulsory course..."
I see.
The two were whispering behind, but the old general was completely unhappy to entertain his distinguished guests at this moment. He stood in front of the statue of the Saint Girl, stroking the stone statue while listening to An's introduction. Especially after hearing that the destructive barrier of the statue of the Saint Girl could cover the surrounding area of dozens of miles, and could greatly weaken the power of the undead creatures. As well as turning all the water sources into holy water, the old man was already excited and could only make a "scream" sound and couldn't say a word. The holy soul is on! There is such a powerful thing in this world! With this on his own line of defense, what else does he need to have a second and third line of defense? With this, the old man can guarantee that those groups of killing bones cannot even pass through the first line of defense!
If I had changed the previous words, maybe the old general would have to give An a discount to An's explanation, but just now, after personally experiencing the powerful power of this holy girl statue, the old man no longer had any doubts about it! Thinking of his complaints, and looking at the sacred stone statue in front of him, the old general wanted to make a hole in his head. At that time, he actually disliked the group of idiots who spent three million to buy a useless thing. Now it seems that not to mention three million! Even 30 million is worth the money!
Not only the old general, but also other generals also showed a happy and relaxed expression after hearing An's explanation. After putting the scene in front of him into his eyes, Rhode nodded with satisfaction.
all the best.
