As everyone walked out of the war room,
they saw Clementine still locked in battle with the two Fourth Tier angels.
"This is so much fun, hee hee~"
Her carefree, playful laughter echoed in the night.
Clementine's lithe figure darted between the Peace Authority Angel and the Surveillance Authority Angel, wielding a Short Cone in each hand, swiftly attacking and defending.
The two massive Fourth Tier angels could only manage to suppress the exceptionally agile Clementine.
Clang—clang—clang—
The dense clatter of metal echoed across the plaza like pouring rain.
The elite troops from the Paladin Order, Shrine Priest Order, and Sunlight Scripture, who were stationed around the area to rest, all looked at Clementine with a sense of dread.
Powerful!
Mad!
This was the first impression everyone had upon seeing Clementine's strength and hearing her maniacal laughter.
"So strong!"
"Red" Orland pursed his lips, his horned helmet bobbing slightly as he looked as if he couldn't wait to join in.
"Black" Pabel pressed down on his black round hat, his hawkish eyes sweeping across the scene as he warned, "Don't do anything stupid."
As he spoke,
"Black" Pabel quickly scanned the crowd, taking in everyone's expressions, and then glanced at the ever-calm Tang Zheng, feeling a sudden unease.
He isn't surprised that the two angels haven't defeated their opponent?
Could it be that Team Leader Tang's strength is more than that?
At that moment!
Clementine, who was being besieged by the two angels, also noticed the people walking out of the meeting room.
"The boring meeting is finally over."
Clementine crouched down, then leaped up, somersaulting in mid-air to dodge the angels' attacks, landing headfirst towards the ground, her golden, fluffy short hair falling down as she smirked:
"I was starting to get bored just standing here!"
Thump!
Just as she was about to land, Clementine supported herself with one hand, easily turning and crouching on the ground:
"Little brother, I must thank you for summoning these two little toys to keep me entertained."
Little toys?
The elite troops present couldn't help but freeze at this description.
Boom! Boom!
The Surveillance Authority Angel and Peace Authority Angel flapped their wings, charging towards Clementine once more.
"Snap!"
Tang Zheng raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers, causing both Fourth Tier angels to simultaneously halt, suspended in mid-air.
In the next moment.
Both angels were engulfed in white light, transforming into a multitude of light particles and dissipating.
"Miss Clementine, I'm glad you like it."
Tang Zheng calmly spoke, then continued, "Also, I still hope that Miss Clementine can use her excess strength on the enemies she is about to face."
"Oh, ha."
The smile on Clementine's face grew even brighter as she half-squinted her eyes and stared at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng responded with a smile.
Two level 28 Fourth Tier angels failed to take her down; Clementine's strength indeed placed her in the top tier of human warriors.
Conversely.
Given Clementine's personality, the fact that she didn't destroy the two angels indirectly indicated that her attack strength was weaker compared to her speed.
Among everyone present, besides himself, Remedios was probably the only one who could contend with Clementine in terms of raw strength.
"Tch."
A soft clicking sound, neither too loud nor too soft, came from Remedios's mouth as she crossed her silver-white gauntlet-clad arms in front of her chest, "Are you going to continue wasting time—"
"Clementine!"
"Have you forgotten what the High Priest instructed?" Captain Nigun's face had long since turned black as he suppressed his anger, his expression gloomy.
If Clementine's situation and status weren't so special, he wouldn't want to participate in this mission with her at all.
Among the Darkness Scripture, there were two Quintiass; compared to the other one, this woman was a mentally deranged individual possessing the power of a Hero Domain, it's a pity that Quintiass died.
She even caused the Water Light Scripture, which investigated the matter, to suffer a terrifying near-total annihilation!
This matter was a secret among secrets within the Theocracy, and even he only knew a few trivial details.
Upon hearing the words "High Priest."
"I know, I know."
Clementine retracted her gaze, a bored expression appearing on her fair cheeks as she reversed her grip on the Short Cones and inserted them back into the scabbards on her back.
"Team Leader Tang, Captain Nigun, you two..."
Looking at the scene before her, Quartet's eyes showed solemnity, but her expression remained gentle as she opened her mouth to signal.
The Slane Theocracy actually had such a strong person?
She had never heard of her!
Quartet glanced at Remedios out of the corner of her eye and, noticing the serious look in her older sister's eyes, understood Clementine's strength a bit more.
What is the Slane Theocracy's intention in sending out such mysterious powerhouses?
No wonder Captain Nigun remained so calm and unconcerned when Team Leader Tang and Clementine clashed.
And this Team Leader Tang.
The level of these two angels is definitely not that of ordinary Fourth Tier angels!
"The situation is urgent!"
Captain Nigun, still with a gloomy face, coldly said to Quartet, then turned to look at Tang Zheng, a forced smile appearing on his stiff face:
"Team Leader Tang, Clementine's personality is a bit erratic, please don't take what happened just now to heart."
This attitude surprised Tang Zheng.
Because of Clementine, his first contact with the Slane Theocracy couldn't be considered pleasant, and this was his first meeting with Captain Nigun, yet the other party's attitude was relatively friendly.
"I won't."
Tang Zheng responded simply.
"There's one thing."
Remedios suddenly spoke at this moment, her gaze falling on Anri, who was standing behind Tang Zheng, looking somewhat uneasy:
"Before we set out, I would like to ask Team Leader Tang, are you sure you want to bring this ordinary person?"
Towards Clementine, whose personality was clearly problematic but whose strength was great, Remedios didn't particularly like her, but she wouldn't say much.
With her power, she could play a significant role in the upcoming fight against the Undead, but this ordinary girl from "Free Will"...
Remedios had a rather strong opinion about her.
"Anri."
"Yes, Captain!"
"You'll die, you know."
"Anri isn't afraid!" The girl clenched her fists, her eyes firm, her earnest voice ringing out under everyone's gaze.
Tang Zheng turned his head, smiled gently, and said, "This is her will, and it is also the will of the 'Free Will' team."
"Hmph."
Remedios stared at Anri, then looked at the smiling Tang Zheng, her sharp gaze gradually softening, and she snorted coldly, turning her head away: "Don't blame others for not reminding you if you die."
"Hoo ha ha ha!"
Go Gin let out a hearty laugh, raised his hand to pat Anri's shoulder, but stopped in an instant, realizing that his strength might hurt her if he patted her, and grinned:
"I admire you, human girl."
"Don't worry, even if your captain can't protect you, I won't let you get hurt."
Anri puffed out her cheeks.
The brief interlude quickly ended, and the three parties... no, it should be four parties.
The Holy Kingdom, the Slane Theocracy, the Adventurer's Guild represented by Tang Zheng, and the Demi-humans represented by Go Gin were all keenly aware that the relationship between the parties was more fragile than imagined.
If there wasn't a common enemy, the four parties would never have gathered together!
Under the urging of their respective leaders and captains.
The rested elite troops quickly assembled, with Quartet, Remedios, and Captain Nigun returning to their respective units.
"Black" Pabel, "Red" Orland, Go Gin, Clementine, Tang Zheng, the Emerald Witch, and Anri gathered together.
Their fighting styles varied, independent of the three units, playing a certain role in assistance and supplementation.
Tang Zheng, who was previously unaware of the identity of the Paladin middle-aged man, now understood the other party's identity.
Another vice-captain of the Paladin Order—"Peach" Isadro.
Remedios was also one of the Nine Colors, bestowed with the title "White".
"Four of the Holy Kingdom's Nine Colors are gathered here."
From this lineup, Tang Zheng could sense Holy Queen Calca's determination to eliminate the Undead in the Hills area.
The nine people in the "Nine Colors" are not all granted titles based on the strength of their power. Those who have made great contributions in cultural and national aspects are also granted titles.
The people in front of him could be said to be the strongest four of the Nine Colors!
Lower Water Moon.
March 28th, 4:59 AM.
Only sparse stars dotted the night sky.
A total of nearly 600 absolute elites left "Calinsha" and arrived at the fortress wall first.
The gate of the central stronghold, which had not been opened for decades, opened, and everyone passed through the gate of the fortress wall, heading straight to the Abelion Hills!
The scorching sun baked the earth.
Dry air and withered yellow grass entered everyone's vision.
At this moment, the sky was already bright. After several hours of rushing, the group finally entered the Hills area after dawn.
Although it was not far from the Holy Kingdom, the climate difference between the two places seemed like heaven and earth, causing many people to be surprised and puzzled.
"The climate here is indeed problematic."
Captain Nigun looked up at the sky, his heart sinking. This was not much different from the previously speculated information.
The location where everyone was at the moment was a somewhat desolate forest. Due to the lack of water or the influence of excessively hot temperatures, the leaves of a large number of trees were extremely sparse or even yellowed.
"Everyone, take a rest first!"
Quartet issued the order at this time.
The Slane Theocracy dispatched the [Sunlight Scripture] as an assisting party, so on the surface, Quartet of the Holy Kingdom was the overall commander.
According to the pre-planned arrangement.
All members of the Paladin Order dispersed, forming a circle, protecting the Shrine Priest Order and the Magic Casters of the Scripture troops inside, to prevent any unexpected situations!
Hills, southern area.
Corpse Pit.
Densely packed, protruding mounds of earth cover the entire landscape, even as the scorching sun hangs high in the sky.
Yet, the whole area exudes an inexplicable chill!
Beneath these mounds and the ground itself, a vast number of Undead slumber, with rich negative energy and Death Qi, invisible to the naked eye, constantly flowing and converging within this area.
At the edge of the massive Corpse Pit.
A putrid, fermented stench, as if aged for decades, continuously emanates from the deepest depths of the pit, a stench so potent that a single whiff would cause an ordinary person to faint.
Swarms of mosquitoes and flies gather together, like dark clouds shrouding the area, emitting a "buzzing" hiss that makes one's scalp crawl.
"I said I would give you a chance."
The Alliance Leader, his entire body enveloped in pitch-black negative energy, stands silently at the edge of the pit, his pair of faintly visible pale eyes gazing at a figure within.
Khajiit!
He is currently in a state of unconsciousness, lying at the very center of a pile of rotting corpses.
Turning around.
The Alliance Leader ignores the stench and walks away. The dense swarm of thumb-sized mosquitoes and flies buzzes around him, yet they dare not approach the area he occupies.
Thump!
Heavy footsteps follow closely behind.
It is the towering Death Knight, following the Alliance Leader step by step, its terrifying aura and pressure seemingly even more intense than when it was first created.
At the sockets of its eyes and the joints of its limbs, faint black energy overflowed, and even the red纹路 on its armor have become even more scarlet and terrifying!
As the Alliance Leader leaves the area and reaches the outer perimeter, he sees two figures sitting on a protruding mound of earth.
One is an elderly man with somewhat graying hair, a gaunt face, and dressed in a dirty, dark gray robe, appearing to be over 60 years old.
Black insects hover around him, and a special Demi-human, a Sword Armor Bug, stands stiffly before him.
The other.
Is a middle-aged man clad in black armor, his face covered in finger-thick scars, giving him an exceptionally ferocious appearance. The pitch-black armor is engraved with the image of some kind of beast, extremely crude, exuding a sense of brutality.
He emanates a cold aura, and a long sword, equally black, with a faint yellow Mana glow on its blade, is stuck in the ground beside him.
These two are two of the twelve apostles of Zuranon.
Excluding the one who died and Khajiit, there are still 10 high disciples, each with things to do to some extent. After excluding those who are too far away and other arrangements.
The Alliance Leader only summoned these two high disciples.
"Alliance Leader."
"Alliance Leader."
The gray-robed old man and the black-armored Warrior turn their heads simultaneously and speak respectfully.
"How have those resisting Demi-humans been dealt with?" the Alliance Leader's hoarse voice rang out.
"This old one has taken care of some of them."
The gray-robed old man's expression was slightly awkward. "The Demi-humans are currently huddled in a corner, led by the Snake King known as 'Seven Color Scales,' which is a bit troublesome."
The Alliance Leader didn't speak.
The air stilled, and an invisible pressure seemed to emanate from the Alliance Leader, causing a trace of cold sweat to appear on the gray-robed old man's forehead.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the Death Knight, who had been standing quietly behind the Alliance Leader, brightened its scarlet eyes and let out a hoarse roar with a voice as if it had lost its vocal cords.
"Hmm?"
The Alliance Leader slightly turned his head to look at the Death Knight. "It seems the guest we've been waiting for has finally arrived."
Undead are most sensitive to the aura of the living, and a large number of Undead corpses have already been buried in this land.
Once the living approach, the Death Knight can sense them.
With a "crack,"
the black-armored Knight raised his head, a twisted smile appearing on his scarred face: "I heard that the Holy Kingdom's Paladin Order Captain wields Safalizia, one of the Four Holy Swords!"
"I wonder if she will come here!"
As he spoke, the black-armored Knight drew the black longsword stuck to the side: "I really want to know, is her Holy Sword stronger, or is my Rot Sword stronger!"
