Dark Shadow Shrine

Outside the wooden fence of the regular army barracks, more than two thousand mercenaries were making noise.

"Give money! Give money! If you don't give money, you will rebel!"

"What about the agreed commission? You are blaspheming the god of contract!"

They held up all kinds of weapons, shouting more and more orderly, and the momentum frightened the soldiers in the regular army barracks to hold the weapons in their hands nervously.

"How much money do we have?" Effie asked the Duke nervously.

"It's been used up long ago." The Duke smiled wryly. To assemble a large army capable of fighting against the coalition forces of the two duchies that had been plotting for a long time, it was simply not something he could afford with the duchy's finances.

When asking other nobles for money, most of them faltered.

"Then what to do?"

The duke was silent.

At this time, Lexus stepped forward suddenly: "Princess, let me help you solve the first problem first."

【Nail line】

Lexus suddenly flicked his hand, and threw a bunch of barbed strings like lightning, across a distance of 30 meters, and pierced into the arm of the leading golden-ranked mercenary.

With a flick of Lexus' dexterous fingers, the barbed iron wire quickly circled the mercenary a few times, each barb getting deeper and deeper. With a wave of his hand, the unlucky guy fell to the ground like a dog eating shit, and was dragged into the gate of the barracks a few times.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Just when all the mercenaries woke up to what had happened and were about to fight, a large pile of mechanical horrors suddenly rushed in outside the arena, and each horror was carrying a huge box on their backs.

Lexus drew out a soldier's dagger casually, and slashed at the box.

"哗啦啦" ground. Countless gold coins poured out.

For a while, the audience was silent.

"You are all mercenaries who signed the contract under the witness of the God of Contract, right? Well, you can choose to break the contract and stand up for this guy." Lexus stepped on the guy's face, and the guy suddenly let out a cry Screaming: "Or take the money, and then prepare to work for the Principality of Corian Pais. You choose!"

Many mercenaries showed hesitation on their faces.

Suddenly, nearly a hundred mercenaries stepped forward. Brandishing weapons, clamoring.

"You still want to act according to the contract? Let our leader go first!"

"We have to pay for soup and medicine!"

"Yes! Give one hundred thousand gold coins first! Otherwise, we will reverse!"

"Yes! It's reversed!"

The faces of Princess Effien and Duke Zenden were even uglier.

Unexpectedly, that Lexus suddenly snapped its fingers.

After one-fifth of a second, countless [Lightning Beams] shot out from the mechanical horror, and the brilliance of the lightning dazzled everyone's eyes. After everything in the field of vision recovered, there were more than a hundred charred black corpses in front of the barracks .

"Ah. It turns out that the guy who even sold his soul to the devil still emits a fragrance after being roasted!" Lexus said teasingly.

only. No one dares to interface.

Clapping his hands, Lexus said loudly: "Okay, choose! Either break the contract, or take the money and prepare to fight."

For some reason, this extremely arrogant warlock gave people a feeling of peace of mind and trust. Even if he just suppressed a possible riot by using carrots and sticks so simply and rudely.

The first mercenary stepped forward, showed the contract to the soldier, took his share of the money, and left silently.

the second.

The tenth……

soon. All the mercenary groups sent representatives to get back their share, and then left silently, preparing to fight.

The princess and the duke breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, thinking to themselves: Where did the rich man come from?

A very non-existent maid who had been following Lexus came up to him and asked him secretly: "Where did you get so much money? At least a few million gold coins here?"

"Just earned it."

It was fine that the maid didn't come forward, but as soon as she stepped forward, Effien immediately felt that the maid looked very familiar.

A flash of lightning broke into Effien's brain, and Effien knew who she was. The little girl dressed as a maid in front of her was her most respected phantom goddess, Laila.

Couldn't believe my eyes.

Why would an incomparably noble goddess dress up as a maid?

Is this Lexus some powerful god?

But you always feel that he is a little familiar?

Another psychic lightning struck down. Effien knew who he was. Although he has changed beyond recognition after makeup, a person's temperament is the most difficult to disguise.

he. It turned out to be the Lei Wen who has been in the limelight recently!

Effien only felt that her world view was collapsing.

Her body was shaking.

I can't tell what's wrong with it for a while.

The identity is completely wrong.

Yes, it is identity!

No matter how poor Laila is. Even if Leila loses the kingdom of God, she is still a god. A god who is located at the peak of tens of millions of humans in the Ultron Continent.

Effie can accept a god being defeated by another god and fall, can accept a god being killed by a powerful alien creature, and can even accept a god being besieged to death by a group of legendary powerhouses.

But Effien just couldn't accept that her most respected goddess Laila ran to be a maid of a mortal boy.

She was almost desperate to order the soldiers to hang the blasphemous bastard.

However, when he saw the hundreds of agile mechanical horrors, she calmed down again.

When she spoke, the majesty and elegance of a princess remained in her voice: "Your Excellency Lexus, please come into my tent with your servants, I have something to ask you."

Raven and the loli maid exchanged glances and followed.

Enter the tent and dismiss the guards.

Effie immediately knelt down on one knee to Lila, but stared at Raven.

"My lord, I don't understand, why do you dress up like this, my lord?"

"Uh, this..."

Lila was embarrassed, she couldn't say it: I put on the maid outfit to save you.

"Laila, she accidentally got a curse from the Goddess of Cats and Dancing, so she had to wear a maid outfit." As soon as Raven opened his mouth, he put the shit bowl on the head of a goddess he had never met.

Well, there is the Mist Curse anyway. Charis couldn't hear it.

Lila gave Lei Wen a blank look, and sent a spiritual message: Why do I think you have the potential to replace Cyric as the god of lies?

Lei Wen replied: Thank you. So, would you rather tell the truth? Or would you rather I lie for you?

Laila was speechless.

After hearing Raven's explanation, Effien didn't quite believe it. Shares had such a chance to run into Lyra who was hiding? But her feelings wanted to believe it was a fact.

She decided not to go any further.

"Thank you my lord and Your Excellency Lei Wen for your support. The most urgent problem has been solved. But our army is still at a disadvantage. I wonder if my lord can bestow divine spells..."

"This..." Laila faltered. In fact, she rushed to the street very thoroughly. After falling into the form of a saint, Lyra lost the ability to bestow divine spells on her priests. Divine power does not come easily. A large number of believers are required to pray day and night, and it takes a long time to obtain such a standard unit of divine power.

Even if she had just obtained a fragment of godhead, it was to increase her upper limit of divine power, not to increase divine power. Her only recent income from divine power came from Tyr. But she turned around and gave Lei Wen another enhanced blessing, which used up a lot.

Now it is impossible to even create a thick fog.

Raven interrupted suddenly: "Ms. Mist has already arranged the magic spell. If you initiate a decisive battle, you will see Ms. Mist's army."

"Really!?" Effie looked at Lila in surprise.

Laila secretly gave Raven a white look, and nodded bravely.

Effie happily went to arrange a decisive battle, but Laila almost went into a rage: "Where did I get the army?"

"I said yes. You don't believe me?"

Lila bared her teeth: "You'd better not disappoint me and Effie, or I will settle with you for forcing me to be a maid. Be careful, I will bite you to death!"

Here, Effien and Duke Zenden were planning to risk their lives to attack the opposing camp. After all, they were the weaker side, and it was a mortal act to attack the other party's camp.

Knowing so. But there is no way.

Now I heard that Leila has strong support here. Cenden and other lords were overjoyed.

Wanting to ask in detail, Effien refused to say anything, only said it was a secret. In fact, Effien himself didn't know.

In this way, in the weird atmosphere, Effien almost forced Cenden to pass the proposal for the decisive battle.

"Well, Your Royal Highness, as a loyal subject of the Principality of Corin Pais, I have to remind you at the end. Once we fail, the Principality is almost doomed to destruction. Your Highness, are you sure that even so, a decisive battle will be launched."

Effie had no way out, bit her lower lip, and slammed the table hard: "Yes!"

So, the decisive battle was decided.

Send envoys to fight against the two dukes.

The opposite side seemed to be happy to deal with this King Qin army in the field, and readily agreed.

The next day, on the Chega Plain, fifty kilometers north of Wangcheng, the two sides deployed their troops.

Qin Wangjun is here. The flags are in disarray, if not for the King Corinpais flag. You say that this is the peasant uprising army, and some people believe it. The morale of the miscellaneous troops is extremely low. You can even see peasant soldiers wearing sackcloth and carrying a pitchfork on the battlefield.

It just depends on how many silver-ranked masters in Duke Cenden's formation are in town.

On the opposite side, there are bright helmets and bright armor. The two-color army is clearly separated, and the military appearance is neat. There are more than 30 mages in a row wearing uniform dharma robes. You can tell at a glance that they belong to the same mage group.

What made Effien even more desperate was that she saw a lot of steel golems in front of the opposite formation.

This method of constructing creatures that stand twice as tall as an ordinary person has been lost for many years. In theory, there are only a very small number of iron golems wandering in some remote corners of the world, ignorantly carrying out the orders of a long-dead empire.

Why can I see a full twenty fairly new steel golems standing in front of the rebels today?

The black steel golem shaped like a black guard holds a two-meter-long giant broadsword in each arm. When forming an formation, its heavy footsteps easily make the ground tremble like a mournful cry.

Just by imagining it, you know what kind of devastation it will be to face the miscellaneous soldiers of King Qin's army after the war begins.

You should know that the challenge level of any standard steel golem is as high as 52, and the rating is silver. But on this kind of battlefield, their performance is definitely at the golden level.

Because there is no silver-level sophisticated weapon above +2, it is impossible to even break the defense.

The battle has not started yet, the morale of King Qin's army is already low, and deserters have been appearing in the rear.

"What's going on? How could there be this thing on the other side? I haven't received any relevant information at all." Effien screamed, and behind her were nobles looking at each other.

Raven suddenly said, "Oh, I sold them to them."

"What?" Whether Effien, Laila, or Cenden, no one could believe their ears.

Raven, who was dressed as a warlock, shrugged and asked, "Otherwise, where do you think the money came from?" (To be continued~^~)
