Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 7 Chapter 6: The beginning of the war

Unlike the treasure house handed down by ordinary nobles, the warehouse of the Church of the Seven Gods is, as literally said, a genuine warehouse. . Fastest update

In the huge square underground space, densely packed with many steel containers, simple wooden shelves divide different kinds of things, just like the most common port warehouse.

The church knight who took the lead activated the magic circle, and suddenly a piece of white pyroxene glowed in the dark warehouse. Pyroxene is an unusually common translucent crystal on the Mycroft continent. It seems ordinary, but as long as a trace of energy is injected, it can emit an extremely bright cold light, so it is commonly used as a lighting tool by all races. Because it is really very common, even the homes of poor people will occasionally have one or two irregular pyroxenes. They are placed under the sun on weekdays to accumulate energy, and they can be used as lights in the middle of the night.

The pyroxene used by the church to build underground fortresses is naturally not the kind of ordinary goods. The white light that illuminates the warehouse is bright and not dazzling, because there are some holy light runes flashing around it, which brings out a sacred taste.

Since Joshua had already passed by before that, and he was going to area No. 3, the knight who led the way did not stop, and the warriors also scanned the surroundings at will.

On the way, the middle-aged knight suddenly said, "Earl, although a little rude, I have to admit that there are indeed some people in our church who are causing you trouble."

Wearing a semi-enclosed helmet, the knight’s voice was muffled, and even brought a faint echo in the enclosed warehouse, but Joshua could hear that the other party’s tone was very sincere, and he couldn’t help turning his head, somewhat. Curiously asked: "What's the trouble? The hospitality of the Church of the Seven Gods has always been commendable, and I also think it feels pretty good here."

This sentence is the truth. Although the priests of the church are occasionally unkind, or behave strangely because of the doctrine, they can definitely be called good people. If they are not kind and honest people in the general sense, there is absolutely no way to understand the holy The power of light lives with such a group of good people, but it is not bad.

Hearing the words of the warrior, the church knight’s waist was a little long, seeming to be very proud, but then he shook his head, seemingly a little embarrassed: "Not in this respect... the Lord Earl, it’s those about the rumors. thing."

"Leave a message?" Joshua raised her brows and waited for the answer.

"That's it. Recently, there have been some rumors about you in the circle of middle-ranked priests." When the middle-aged knight talked here, he paused for a while, as if he was sorting out his language, and soon he sank. Said: "Many people have begun to claim that you came to the Holy Mountain purely to satisfy your bloodthirsty**."

"Wait a minute." Joshua blinked. He frowned and said, "What are you?"

"I'm very sorry! But, indeed, many people believe that if it weren't for this reason, no matter how great the benefits, it would be impossible for an imperial nobleman to risk death and cross the entire continent to the Holy Mountain. , The frontline battlefield of this dragon disaster."

When he said here, the knight stopped. He turned his head and bowed deeply to Joshua: "It is our negligence to let this kind of message appear and spread. I'm very sorry!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

At this moment, the middle-aged knight suddenly straightened his back and said solemnly, "But I know that they are all nonsense!"

When he said this, the knight clenched his right fist and held it up to his chest, as if he was really angry about it. He said in a low and clear voice: "My lord, although you do seem to be a real villain, but In fact, we get along very kindly, without any aristocratic airs, and everything fits the way of the Holy Light."

Joshua: "No, please stop."

"Undoubtedly, your lord, you are truly a person who has truly escaped the low-level taste! You are a noble person!" Although the expression cannot be seen clearly because of the helmet, the middle-aged knight is undoubtedly very excited, he said loudly: "You must have resolutely left your hometown and came to the sacred mountain to stop the mad dragon for the innocent people of the Far South. Those who spread the rumors actually don't understand this and wantonly slander you..."

Joshua didn’t listen to the next words, and occasionally one or two words such as “believe in the holy light”, “model of justice” and “example of nobles and lords” floated over. He didn’t hear them all, and waited until the middle-aged knight. After calming down a little bit, the soldier slowly said, "Leave these all aside... You take me to the third area first."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Joshua's instructions, the knight who had become a warrior admirer suddenly said nothing and started to lead the way again.

This group of people...

Walking on the path of the warehouse, Joshua couldn't help sighing in her heart.

Recently, he has indeed been helping the Church of the Seven Gods to defend against the mad dragon. According to his **** combat tactics and negative charm, it is not surprising that such a message appears. The believers of the Holy Light will not lie, but their guess is true. According to the truth, Joshua didn't even take this kind of message that would disappear in a few days.

What really surprised the warrior was this middle-aged paladin. His charm would still have admirers. It was incredible!

At this point, Joshua herself was a bit arrogant. In the eyes of many knights in the church, an Extremely Prominent Warrior who is less than 30 years old is enough to be called a genius among geniuses. Even the most proud people have to admit that this strength is enough to make most People are ashamed, but this kind of genius, a field aristocrat of the Northern Empire, a legendary powerhouse destined in the future, is willing to leave his territory and come to the holy mountain to help the church and help the entire far south to resist the mad dragon.

If this kind of spirit is not noble, then no spirit is noble. Just as the middle-aged knight said, this is the way of the holy light.

After thinking about it, the two came to the third area.

Most of the warehouse areas of the fortress are connected. Area 3 is located closer to the center. Most of the storage areas are the alchemy and divine creations developed by the Church of the Seven Gods.

The protective measures here are obviously much better than those on the periphery of the food and ordinary weapons. Although they are still huge steel cabinets and wooden frames, they are all engraved with the magical array of dust removal, waterproofing, and element erosion. Seeing the runes flashing, a circle of crystal-like translucent energy cover on the outer layer of the steel cabinet was looming under the light of the pyroxene lamp.

The middle-aged knight was originally responsible for the management of this warehouse. He knew very well about the objects in it. He slowed down and introduced the treasures stored in each cabinet to the warrior.

Located on the right side of Joshua, is the energy core of twenty silver pinnacle divine magic puppets. The magical puppets of the Church of the Seven Gods have always been named after the constructs of the Eastern Plains military divisions. They are more than that of similar puppets in the hands of other forces. At least the Northern Empire has no way to mass-produce battle puppets of the same level. The core of these puppets each cost more than eight thousand Yuannan gold coins, enough to buy a small manor in the outskirts.

You know, if ordinary silver-level warriors don’t risk their lives to hunt for beasts, they will work hard for a year in the city guard and only earn two or three hundred gold coins. This set of puppets is worth 160,000 gold coins, which is enough to kill One or two thousand soldiers were armed to the teeth.

However, Qiao Xiuya didn't care much. For the first time there was a rune factory in his territory. With the help of Miss 3, one day he could also produce magic puppets. The strength of this silver pinnacle would be more embarrassing. Now his subordinates do not lack the backbone of combat power, what he lacks is the gold-level leader.

Because the entire Northern Territory is close to the Black Forest of the Ice Plains, after years of fighting, there are hundreds of Silver Knights. If you count the city guards and the militias in each village, there are basically a thousand Silver ranks in each territory. Because the Northern Territory has a small population and insufficient resources, there are many casualties under the Kuroshio.

There is so much silver, but not gold. It is estimated that it will take at least seven or eight years for the elites in Wintergarden to grow up. At that time, the warriors are all rushing, not to mention the Dragoons. Even if it is a crash, the time for the dragon to fully mature is enough for Grandpa Joe Xiu Adam. .

Seeing that the warrior was not interested in this, the church knight turned his head again and introduced Joshua to other alchemy products.

The technical reserves of the Church of the Seven Gods are not inferior to any large-scale power. Even the tall-eyed wizards in the Eastern Plains may not be able to beat it everywhere. In fact, the alchemy level of the church is firmly in the forefront of the world. Can build underwater fortresses in the deep sea, and drive the fortresses to explore the seabed with divine art, hunting giant ocean beasts.

Unfortunately, the church’s alchemy style is very different from that of the Eastern Mages. Most of their creations are giant war machines. They are extremely large and require the cooperation of many clergy to drive them. The Guantian White Pagoda does have a development structure. The war colossus, but the overall style is miniaturized and popularized.

Therefore, Joshua’s introduction to the church knights is not that those things are bad, but that they are not suitable. Whether it is the elemental crystal resonance core that can activate the elements within tens of kilometers and make it easier for people to perceive the magic, or it can be subtle, Relying on sunlight and free energy to purify the environment for hundreds of kilometers, the "cleanliness ring" is a genuine and good thing, but these creations are too large, so large that their core is more than ten meters high, and hundreds of people need to be sent by the church. Professionals go to the local to manufacture parts, and then spend more than half a year assembling them.

The church knight also seemed to know that these things were not reliable, so after a brief introduction, there was nothing to say, and the warrior also patiently scanned the surrounding.

Luckily, after a few minutes, Joshua found something he was very interested in.

"Floating circle..." Looking at the magical creations made of steel and crystal that showed a sense of science fiction, Joshua turned her head and looked at the middle-aged knight: "You made this kind of thing for What is it for?"

"Huh?" The church knight looked up, glanced at this huge ring that occupies a large warehouse space, ten meters in diameter, and then pondered for a while: "It should be an auxiliary accessory placed on the giant steel puppet. Some magical puppets have no flying ability, especially large puppets, so some people in the church want to make some flying puppets."

"The results of it?"

"It fails completely. Instead of loading accessories, it is better to inscribe a few floating arrays on the puppet, and it saves more materials... Of course, this floating ring actually has the ability to allow the user to float freely, that is It’s too big, it’s a waste of materials."

The church knight glanced at Joshua a little strangely, and he kindly reminded him: "Lord Earl, you are an extremely strong person. You can fly without this thing. Even if you want a flying car, I would compare it. It is recommended that you engrave the floating array instead of using this...Its output is too great, enough to make your house fly, and it is really overkill to make things like horse-drawn carriages fly."

Joshua naturally knew that the other party was right. This floating circle is indeed tasteless and a pity to discard. General carriages, even tanks and artillery can’t use such a big thing, while floating fortresses or battleships. He has an engraved magic circle himself, no external accessories are needed.

But... there is a sea dragon in his house that can't fly!

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help feeling a moment of suffocation.

A domineering dragon is used as an aerial mount, but it is the romance of any man. He had tried his best to make the black bloodline to cultivate her into the current fort. But the ghost knows that the black bloodline is a sea dragon, although it has wings, but Can't fly!

This time in the Abyss of Anos, the black performed very well in defending against sea beasts and detecting ocean currents, but it is a real flaw that cannot fly. The reason why dragons are powerful is because they can pouring dragon breath and condescendingly. Magic, like if it weren't for the protection of the chaos rune, Mandagal could drag Joshua to death by flying a kite alone.

The black dragon's breath is terrifying. If there is no preparation, even Joshua doesn't want to insist on it. The only drawback is that he can't fly.

But now, with this thing, can you fly in the dark?

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but jot down a sum in his heart, and he included it in his shortlist.

At this moment, a violent shaking came from under the soldier's feet.

"What's going on?" The church knight on the side immediately showed an expression of uncertainty. He raised his head to look at the crumbling pyroxene lamp above his head: "Earthquake?"

"No." Joshua shook his head, his expression was calm, as if he had expected it: "It seems to be the same as Pope Eagle guessed, it's ahead of schedule."

"What's in advance?"

"Offensive." Qiao Xiya turned her head and walked towards the exit of the warehouse: "The general attack of the five-color dragon clan is about to begin."

With the sound of the sirens, the two walked out of the warehouse and swiftly walked towards the exit of the underground fortress along the solid stone passage. Many priests walked with them to the surface, and there were many pure fighters without combat effectiveness. The clergy stayed in the fort calmly, waiting for the next step, which was a step that had been rehearsed dozens of times a long time ago.

The underground fortress has been specially reinforced by magical runes~www.novelmtl.com~ As long as the holy mountain does not collapse, it is impossible to collapse, and even an earthquake cannot destroy the structure of the fortress.

Joshua left the underground fortress and walked out of the temple as the entrance and exit.

He looked up at the sky and the sea.

The clouds gather, the wind swept through, the huge waves came one after another, the communication line between the sea and the sky was shrouded in darkness, lightning straddled the sky, bringing the sound of thunder.

Everything did not exceed his expectations.

Starfall 833, August 26th, a stormy night.

The five-color mad dragon officially attacked the Seven Sacred Mountains.
