Broad World

Chapter 690: The Faith of the Knights

Standing at the door, Henry hesitated a little, wondering if he should go in at this time. He is well aware of Kaidong's loyalty to his friends and hatred of evil. If he knows that a just battle to defend the capital of elves is about to start in the south, he will definitely give up rest without hesitation and join the battle without hesitation.

You must know that this is a magical war, not a small fight between human lords, nor is it dealing with a hundred and eighty hobgoblin robbers or an orc raiding team of one or two thousand people.

Whether it is Joan Irenicus or the coalition forces, they all have a sufficient number of magical creatures and spellcasters. Once they start fighting, they will inevitably be overwhelming spells. As a soldier rushing to the front line, it is difficult to guarantee that they can survive. It is several times or even dozens of times higher than ordinary wars, and it is not surprising even if the entire army is wiped out.

Henry can't imagine that if Kaidong died in this battle, how should he explain it to his family? And how to comfort the suffering widow?

Headache!

Thinking of this, Henry rubbed his eyebrows involuntarily. Just as he was hesitating, Grand Master Witherland suddenly noticed a figure swaying at the door, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Who is it? Who's there! Come in if you have anything to do. Sir Kedon is not an outsider."

"It's me, Your Excellency the Chief." Knowing that there was no way to hide, Henry had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into the house.

"Bless Tom, it's you, my friend." After seeing who it was, Kaidong immediately stood up and gave him a warm hug. "You seem to have become much younger. Is this the effect of a life extension magic?"

Henry smiled wryly and shook his head: "I am also very happy to see you again, but I have answered this question no less than seven or eight times, and it can only be said to be the effect of a curse, but it will not be life-threatening in a short time, so it's nothing Very worried."

"Oh? Who cast a curse that can make a powerful legendary mage like you helpless?" Grandmaster Witherand suddenly became serious. in his eyes. Any guy who casts a curse on others can be regarded as an evil person. A guy who can cause headaches for legendary spellcasters must be an object of attention and vigilance.

"A curse related to time is very, very powerful, and it is also difficult to explain clearly. However, I can tell the name of this person. I believe you have heard of it. He is one of the culprits who caused a riot in the shopping mall some time ago. Joan Irenicus. He is quite powerful now, so powerful that he can recruit two evil armies to attack the capital of the wood elves in the depths of the Virdas forest. Of course. This is also the purpose of my coming here." Henry Without any concealment, he told the whole story.

When he mentioned the tragedy of the entire peninsula being slaughtered by the dark elves, the two old paladins clenched their fists, their eyes sparkled with anger, wishing they could raise their swords and kill these evil enemies immediately.

When everything was finished, the head of Witherland gritted his teeth and nodded: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, it is the responsibility and obligation of the Knights to fight evil, even if it does not appear on the land of Amn. Tell me, when to leave, I can summon 500 knights and trainees at any time. It is guaranteed to give these crazy guys a fatal blow."

"That's right, Tom taught us to stand up in the face of evil. Otherwise, they will destroy your home and kill your friends and relatives." Kaidong also stood up and echoed enthusiastically. He seemed completely unaware that he had retired and had promised his wife never to risk his life again.

"Thank you, thank the Knights for their great help, and of course thank you, my friend." Henry carefully worded his words, trying to hurt Kaidong's self-esteem and honor as much as possible. "But you're retired. Remember the vow you made to Maria? You can't work as hard as you used to."

But unfortunately, he underestimated the loyalty of the old paladin in front of him to his faith and honor. Perhaps in the eyes of the paladins, being able to die in a battle against evil is a supreme honor, and even some persistent paladins take this as their life goal and tirelessly stand at the forefront of the fight against evil.

As a paladin, Kaidong certainly cannot violate the oath he made, but he can persuade his wife to let him go with family affection. He took a deep breath and said in a firm tone: "No, I must go this time. If I shrink back when my friends need help and evil erodes innocent lives! Then how will I face Tom after death!"

"Damn it. I knew it would turn out like this." Henry cursed in a low voice. He knew that it was useless to try to dissuade them now, all paladins were single-minded creatures, and once they determined something, even a few giant dragons would not be able to pull it back.

Seeing this situation, the head of Wetherland not only did not follow along to dissuade them. Instead, he laughed and patted his old friend on the shoulder: "Hahahaha! Kaidong, it seems that we are going to fight side by side again. I really didn't expect it. Just now we were chatting about those previous battles together, but next time A big surprise came in a second. This is God's will, it seems that we old bones have not yet retired."

"That's right, the cause of justice requires my strength. This is Tom's guidance. I believe Maria and the children will agree." Kaidong said with confidence on his face. He knew very well that his wife would never interfere with his choice at critical moments.

"Well, now that you have made a decision, I won't say more. But there is one thing, this operation must be completely under my command. Magical warfare is completely different from ordinary warfare, and the enemy we face is not ordinary either. Humans, orcs, and goblins. I can tell you clearly that Joan Irenicus’s army not only has a large number of golems that cannot be harmed by ordinary weapons, but also trolls, giants, demons, Evil beasts and giant dragons."

Speaking of this, Henry paused deliberately, and then continued to state in a very heavy tone: "I can tell you clearly that this battle will be tragic beyond imagination, and it is not surprising even if the loss reaches more than 70% , especially those warriors who charged forward. Of course, I have also responded. An elite army is starting from Angome Island and will arrive here in less than two days. The Masked Mage Guild has agreed to participate in the battle, and there are also some metal giants Dragons will join us. But none of this is enough to reduce the risk much, so those who attend had better prepare a suicide note."

Regarding this kind of warning, the head of the regiment smiled indifferently: "Haha, if you want to scare us away with this method, then you have obviously come to the wrong place. Every official knight here has written a They have never been afraid of death! They are not afraid of evil! Justice will prevail!"

"Justice will prevail!" Kaidong shouted as he hammered his heart with his fist.

This is the iconic action and slogan of the Knights, a tradition that has continued since its founding, and it can also be said to be a belief. He lost count of how many times he had shouted in battle. But it still feels like the blood in my whole body is boiling.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Henry couldn't help admiring inwardly that he really deserves to be called the Guardians of Amn's Knights of the Fiery Heart. This courageous and never backing down momentum alone is enough to overwhelm the entire Faerun continent. An army of over ninety. He is now looking forward to whether the Solamnia Knights can reach a similar level after being reorganized, even if only half of it is enough to deal with the endless monsters.

Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Henry quickly got up to leave, and Kaidong also saluted and prepared to go home to persuade his wife to support his decision.

Witherland didn't make much effort to keep them, but just sent the two out of the gate. After all, recruiting 500 knights and apprentice knights was not a trivial matter. Not only did they have to greet the six-member council, but they also had to notify those who were on vacation one by one. In short, there are still a lot of troubles.

You must know that this is not an ordinary army. Every official knight has at least five professional levels, and apprentice knights also have two professional levels. Fight head-on. They can completely defeat ordinary soldiers ten times their own size, especially when facing evil creatures, they can also exert greater combat effectiveness with the help of divine arts.

This is why Askatla is next to the Cloud and Mist Mountains, but has never been breached by monsters for so many years. Just a knight order has such a powerful combat power, coupled with the magical support of the masked mage, unless there is a powerful evil force behind it, otherwise these monsters alone will not be able to get close to the city wall in hundreds of years .

Walk on the stone bridge to clean the shrine. Kaidong touched the neat beard on his chin and asked with a smile: "Why, you seem to be preoccupied?"

"Oh? Is it that obvious?" Henry raised his head in astonishment. He was really thinking about how to reduce losses in this tragic magic war just now, especially those various evil creatures, almost every one of them has two-handed talent magic, and countless people will die if they don't pay attention.

"Of course, it seems that the enemy is really difficult to deal with this time. I have never seen you show such a heavy expression when I was besieging the mind flayer. Say what you have to say, don't hold it in your heart, I will He is a good listener." Kai Dong once again entered the role of soul mentor. Attempts to help Henry relieve the tension caused by stress.

Henry first showed a wry smile, and then shook his head lightly: "No, I don't think you can help me this time. This is a magic war, and spells above level 3 that are rarely seen at ordinary times will be overwhelming like a tide .Ordinary soldiers can’t even find their bodies after one round, and countless lives will die. I’m trying to find a way to reduce deaths. But this is really too difficult.”

"There is no way, and you don't have to blame yourself too much. Just do your best. Believe me, anyone who is willing to join this war knows what dangers they will face, so all you have to do is lead us to victory I have to go back and explain to Maria, if you need help, you can come to me at any time." After speaking, Kaidong patted Henry on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, then waved his hand and walked straight towards his home.

Seeing his leaving back, Henry sneered and muttered to himself, "I'm only worried about my subordinates. It doesn't matter how many other people die."

As a person who strictly abides by absolute neutrality, his disregard for death has long been deeply rooted in his bones. Not to mention the death of thousands or eight hundred soldiers, even half of the dead population in the entire Western Continent would not curse their brows. Of course, the premise is that your relatives, friends and territories are not included. Although he is very selfish, but he is such a character...
