Chapter 0969: Lurking and Plague
The room of the garrison officer Ansera is on the left side of the training camp of the Holy Light Chapel, an extremely simple and plain wooden hut.
When Grimm entered the wooden hut under the leadership of Totti, the garrison officer Ansera was struggling with the piles of documents on the table that were almost piled up to the roof. Hearing the sound of someone coming in, Ansera raised his head covered with eye mucus and dark circles, stared at the two people blankly, and after a long time, his eyes regained focus.
This is a level 2 silver knight!
Although his physical condition has declined a little due to long-term desk work, and he has a big belly, the holy light power overflowing from his body is a real level 2.
"Report! Respected garrison officer Ansera, apprentice knight Totti has been ordered..." The young prospective knight stepped to attention and reported loudly.
Unfortunately, he was interrupted by the impatient garrison officer before he finished speaking.
"Okay, okay... Totti, you have to come to me at least three times a day. I am tired of hearing these boring honorifics. Also, remember, praise the Holy Light before you speak next time!"
"Yes, Sir Garrison!"
"Okay, you can go back to your post. I will personally receive this Holy Light brother."
"Yes, Sir Garrison!"
After standing at attention again, Totti turned and left the wooden house.
The garrison officer Ansela couldn't help but turn his eyes to Grimm.
"The light is with us! Dear Sir Garrison, hello, my name is..."
Grimm didn't dare to be careless at all, and immediately reported to Ansela according to the etiquette of the Paladins. Of course, the words were still the same as before. In this alien world where information flow is not complete, Grimm is not worried that his "lie" will be exposed by the enemy.
Besides, with the Holy Ring of Soden, Grimm can easily transform his elemental power into pure light elements. As long as he doesn't do it, there is no problem in hiding it from these Paladins.
To be honest, I'm afraid no Paladin would have thought that a wizard from another world could sneak into their team. After all, Holy Light, a product of the power of faith, is one of the most hated powers by wizards!
The garrison officer was naturally delighted with this young knight who came from afar and was willing to dedicate everything to the Holy Light. Although the legendary Lord Adkalai will arrive here in a few days, before that, the city of Hesas is still in great danger.
The core city of Hakans in the north of the empire is said to have been destroyed by a wizard invasion.
Two level 3 wizards and witches broke into Hakans and fought, and summoned a large number of terrifying flame creatures. Even though Hakans was guarded by a powerful level 3 golden knight, it still fell without a doubt.
The level 3 knight died in this battle, and Hakans became a ruin.
In this battle alone, nearly 200 Paladins died in the sea of fire, and their souls returned to the embrace of the Holy Light.
The entire northern branch of the Paladins suffered a heavy blow. Without hundreds of years of recuperation, it would be difficult to restore its original scale and quality. The shock it brought to the Zambes Empire was no less than the first invasion of the evil witches a hundred years ago.
With the example of Hakans City, no Paladin dared to assert that the Holy Light Chapel was absolutely safe. Especially as the witch and the witch array materials were transported to Hesas, the atmosphere here suddenly became tense.
Worried that Hesas City would repeat the mistakes of Hakans City, the Holy Light commanders and garrisons here issued a call to the surrounding chapels, calling on them to come here to protect the glorious place of Holy Light.
For a time, many people responded, and the Holy Light Chapel in Hesas was actually overcrowded!
After briefly introducing the situation here to Grimm, Ansela apologized and "requested" him to temporarily stay in a hotel near the Holy Light Chapel, and all accommodation and dining expenses would be paid by the chapel.
For such an impolite "request", Grimm naturally expressed understanding and agreed happily.
So, under the escort of two guards sent by Ansera, Grimm successfully checked into a large hotel just two streets away from the Holy Light Chapel. Here, Grimm also met the Paladins from major cities around Hesas.
Of course, they are all tier 1 Black Iron Knights.
Even if the living facilities inside the Holy Light Chapel are insufficient, it is still possible to squeeze out some for the tier 2 Silver Knights. Therefore, almost all the people who were "assigned" outside were Black Iron Knights.
If it were in other countries, such differential treatment would probably have caused dissatisfaction among the recruiters. But these Paladins are really worthy of being believers of the Holy Light. No one cares about the slight difference in treatment, but instead gathers together to discuss the possible evil wizards.
When all kinds of Black Iron Knights gather together, there will always be some people who are particularly well-informed.
Therefore, many listeners often gather around them to listen to their vivid and vivid "stories" that happened in the north of the empire.
Balrogs... Fire giants... Mechanical witches... Flame creatures... Dragons...
Any one of the many bizarre 'story' elements would make the group of Black Iron Knights feel a sense of danger, not to mention that they all gathered in one place at the same time.
No matter how great a city is, no matter how many paladins guard it, if it encounters such a powerful evil wizard, it will inevitably become a war sacrifice. Unless there is a guardian like a 4th-level holy knight, otherwise, the paladins will need to make unimaginable sacrifices to defeat such an evil wizard.
And in their casual chat, Grimm accidentally got an extremely valuable news.
A 4th-level holy knight is coming here from the north, and it is expected to arrive in Hesas City within seven or eight days.
This news was originally spread by the high-level knights of the Holy Light Chapel to reassure many Black Iron Knights. But they never thought that the legendary terrifying fire wizard would actually infiltrate them and obtain this extremely precious strategic intelligence.
With Grimm's strength, can he fight against a 4th-level holy knight?
This is simply a joke!
If the news says that the 4th-level knight will arrive in Hesas tomorrow, then Grimm will definitely leave here tonight without hesitation. Coming to this Envik plane is just to complete a commissioned task. Grimm doesn't need to risk his precious life.
The most fundamental reason why Grimm was so unrestrained and devoted in the last battle in Hakans was that there was no one there who could threaten his life. Even if he was besieged by several level 3 warriors, Grimm was confident that he could escape with his own strength.
It was precisely because of this confidence that he chose to give it a try in order to maximize his short-term benefits!
And today, after hearing so many broken news, Grimm connected them together and came to a conclusion that made him feel faintly scared.
The sudden appearance of the 4th-level holy knight in the north was probably to strangle him.
It was just that after leaving Hakans City, he was chased by a group of wizard hunters. In order to avoid the pursuit, Grimm suddenly had the idea of escaping thousands of miles, and he accidentally avoided the blade of the 4th-level holy knight.
I don't know if those guys who are chasing me are still in the north? If they hesitated for a moment and stayed there, they might run into the 4th-level Holy Knight.
Although wizards have always looked down on warriors and knights, they still have to pay a certain amount of respect to high-level warriors. Otherwise, they really don't even know how they died!
The situation in Haisas City has been clearly inquired. The one who fell into the hands of the Paladins was none other than the witch Reina who entrusted them to protect. And the most critical teleportation witch array repair materials for this trip also fell into the hands of the Paladins.
For such a situation, Grimm is also scratching his head.
Rescue must be rescued! But how to rescue and who to rescue is very particular!
If only one of the two can be chosen, Grimm will undoubtedly choose to rob the batch of witch array materials.
For nothing else, only by sending this batch of materials and resources to the witch tower and letting them repair the teleportation array can he have the opportunity to return to the wizard world. As for Reina, if you are lucky, you can rescue her. If the risk is too great, just assume she is dead!
Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out the basic situation inside the Holy Light Chapel, find out where Reina is imprisoned and where the materials are stored. Before getting specific and detailed intelligence, Grimm can only choose to lurk and quietly listen to the news.
However, passive waiting is never Grimm's character!
Before the Holy Knight appears in Haisas, he must launch a rescue operation. Otherwise, as soon as the Holy Knight arrives, the Haisas high-level will definitely give him the materials for safekeeping. At that time, Grimm would not dare to rob a 4th-level Holy Knight even if he had the courage of the sky!
Time is tight, and he can't afford to lurk and infiltrate slowly, so Grimm started the peripheral operation on the night he arrived in Haisas City.
Before entering the city, the plague poison spirit Remi was released by Grimm!
The current plague poison spirit is completely different from before. The powerful strength of the 3rd level gives it enough power to protect itself. The resonance between souls made it possible for it to have a magical and subtle soul connection with Grimm even though they were thousands of miles apart.
Therefore, Grimm, who was in the city of Hesas, only had a wave of soul, and he successfully passed the order to Remi, the plague spirit lurking outside the city.
Thus, a sudden plague swept the suburbs of Hesas!
Almost overnight, thousands of patients infected with the disease appeared in dozens of towns and villages around Hesas. Their symptoms were so similar and terrifyingly contagious, so they soon alarmed the paladins of Hesas. nt
