The Light Guard riding on the Giant Griffon rushed back to report as fast as he could.
The two Light Guard captains turned pale.
They could not hide the horror in their eyes.
Before this.
The arrogance of the guards of the Holy Land was nowhere to be seen. All that was left was a complex mixture of shock, confusion, and helplessness.
Fortunately, they still had a basic sense of confidentiality and did not completely lose their minds. After jumping off the Giant Griffon, they did not speak immediately. Instead, they first looked at Remyer, and after receiving the latter's signal, they quickly entered the Griffon Castle to report the information they had received before.
Remyer first entered the Griffon Castle alone to listen to the report from his subordinates.
Then he sent someone to invite Nero and the other leaders of the Eden Legion to enter.
After a long time.
Remyer came out again and asked the human exploration team to stay near the Griffon Castle. He also offered to provide food and water for everyone.
"What happened in the Holy Land? Can you let us know? If it's something within our power, we'll be happy to help! " Thomas knew that the Holy Land of Eternal Light had suddenly turned dark, so there must be a lot of trouble. However, before the specific situation was known, he did not mind putting on a good front for the Holy Land. After all, it did not take any effort to say empty words.
"Everyone, the Holy Land has indeed encountered a huge test that has not appeared for thousands of years, but we are 100% confident that we can safely overcome it, just like the sages of ancient times did." Remyer did not immediately tell them the details of the situation, but let them rest and adjust their state of mind.
In the Griffon Castle.
Four Giant Griffon carried the Light Guard and flew into the sky again, flying in all directions to inform the nearby Light Outpost.
Six Gray Griffon also flew into the sky with the letter.
They quickly flew away.
"The Holy Land is in big trouble." Big Ivan could not see the situation in the dark area, but he had a certain hunch.
"There might be trouble, but it should be fine." "According to the Sacred Valley's guide, Lemaire, there are a total of 300,000 people in the Holy Land. There are 50,000 Light Guards alone, and 10,000 Light Warlords who are even stronger than the Light Guards. There are also close to 30,000 Giant Griffon and Grey Griffon that can be used in battle. Not to mention the bonus HP that the Light Guards will gain in battle in the Holy Land, just their apparent strength alone is enough to wipe out the invaders from the Land of the Fallen. Everyone in the Holy Land has the ability to fight. At the very least, they have the ability to protect themselves. They are completely different from the ordinary people on the surface. "
"50,000 Light Guards and 10,000 Light Generals? That's indeed not bad! " Thomas and the others nodded inwardly when they heard this. With so many troops, even if they couldn't get rid of the invaders in a short period of time, they would have no problem protecting themselves.
Besides …
This was their home ground.
Due to the favorable timing and geographical location, the Holy Land's guards were all present.
The only problem was how big the Holy Land was. The bigger the Holy Land, the more places it needed to be guarded, and the harder it would be to defend against the invaders.
"Lemaire doesn't seem to be panicking. There are probably two possibilities. One is that he's hiding his true feelings, and the other is that he feels that the situation is under control and is optimistic about the sudden change." Philip had been paying attention to Lemaire's expression.
"If they don't need our help, why do we have to force our way out? We've been fighting all the way here, and we haven't had a good rest at all! " Hairy Bear Zhao Daniu felt that it was better not to take the initiative to fight if possible. Ever since they entered the Land of the Fallen, they had been killing all over the place. If this continued, the exploration team would reach their limit sooner or later and collapse.
"Now is not the time to fight. The Holy Land doesn't have such a requirement." Hugo thought for a while. "If the Holy Land isn't safe, the Sacred Valley might not be able to protect us, right? Why don't we send someone back and bring in the people who stayed behind? "
"No!" Thomas refused without hesitation.
Most of the people who stayed behind were injured.
They might survive if they didn't come in.
Come in.
Once they encountered an enemy.
Unless the human exploration team won a complete victory, they would be dead for sure.
"Mr. Wood, what do you think?" Chino looked at Lin Dong. He wanted to know how Lin Dong was thinking and how to deal with this situation.
"I think everyone should prepare for defense!" Lin Dong's expression was a little serious. "If everyone hopes that the Guardians of Light and Warlords of Light will be able to clean up the invaders, then it might take some time. During this time, our first priority is to protect ourselves."
"You think the invaders from the Land of the Fallen will attack Griffon Castle?" Chino was surprised. The two places were dozens of kilometers apart. The invaders couldn't possibly advance that fast, right?
"I don't know. I only know that if we prepare for defense, we will have more initiative."
"Mr. Wood has a point!"
"Let's do that!"
"The problem is that Griffon Castle is built on a small hill. Other than the high ground, there's no place for defense at all. What should we do?"
"Dig ditches, cut trees, build walls, and use all the tools we brought! We, the Eye of God, are willing to defend the northwest of Griffon Castle and deal with possible attacks from the southwest and northeast! "
"Pfft, the northeast is too far. It's impossible to come over. Your Eye of God is too cunning!"
"Then let's change?"
"Stop arguing. We, the Eden Family, are willing to defend the southwest of Griffon Castle. At the same time, I hope that if there's no pressure on your own side, you can send elite combat teams to help us! In return, we are willing to share any spoils of war obtained from the defense equally with everyone. The specific division will be decided according to each party's contribution, and the contribution will be proportional to the share! "
"We, the rear army, are also willing to defend the southwest and form a combat system with the Eden Army!"
"The leaders of the six teams, the Viking Tempest, and the Black Uniform Swordsman, have discussed and decided that we are willing to defend the southeast, east, and northeast of Griffon Castle for everyone! Not only are we willing to prepare the best logistical work for the team, but we are also willing to send the most elite genetic warriors to participate in the battle in the southwest. Of course, if our line of defense is under fierce attack, we hope that you can quickly support us to ensure the integrity of our human exploration team's line of defense. "
"What about the enemies in the sky?"
"Each party will send a team to deal with the sky … It's best if it's a genetic warrior, and at the same time, be equipped with the best equipment!"
As the leader.
No one was a fool.
Everyone understood the principle that if the lips died, the teeth would feel the cold.
To be honest, if the Holy Land did not have more than 50,000 Light Guards, Thomas might have led his men back home. However, with this number of Light Guards, and with the help of geographical and other favorable factors, the Holy Land's final victory was almost certain. He was reluctant to give up this opportunity.
Moreover, they had just entered the Holy Land and had not gained anything, so they were reluctant to leave.
This was the most important reason.
At first.
Some Light Guards wanted to stop the human exploration team from cutting down the trees on the mountain, but Lemaire quickly approved and let the Light Guards join the logging team.
The ditch was not easy to dig. The hill did not look big, but when it was dug, it was a huge project.
There was no way to dig a deep and wide trench.
They could only make use of the terrain to dig a small trench that was convenient for burying sharp fences.
When all kinds of sharp fences were first erected in the southwest, the Light Guards came to support them from afar.
Three hours later, close to 200 Light Guards had arrived, and more than 50 Giant Griffon and Gray Griffon had arrived. They could come from further away. If it was not for the fact that Griffon Castle was not the most important and frontline defensive position, the number of Light Guards and Giant Griffon who came to support them would be even more.
Another two hours passed.
A Guardian of Light riding a type of extremely sturdy Holy Land warhorse arrived.
There were about thirty of them, and their leader was a red-haired man in heavy armor with a greatsword on his back. He seemed to be acquainted with Raymer, but he did not greet the leader of the human exploration team. Instead, he led the exhausted team into the Gryphon Castle to rest and reorganize. Not long after the red-haired man entered the Gryphon Castle, another group of Light Guards galloped over. They were obviously shocked to see a large number of humans bustling around the small hill. The leader was a handsome man with a green crown on his head. He reined in his Holy Land warhorse and mumbled something incomprehensible.
The Light Guards of Griffon Castle hurried to greet him.
Another series of explanations.
A handsome man with long hair finally led the team into Gryphon Castle. He found that among the human team, there was a group of black-haired and black-eyed humans looking at him with a very strange look, and the focus was on the top of his head. He was very puzzled. Had these country bumpkins never seen anything good?
But think about it.
How could lowly humans from the outside world know about a holy item like the Emerald Crown, so it was normal for them to look at him with curiosity!
"Did you see that, Griffon? Treasure, I dare say that it's a treasure! By the way, that hat suits you very well! "Enoko Kazama pointed at the handsome man's head, indicating that the color was a perfect match for Griffon.
"Do you think I don't know what that hat means?" Griffon was furious.
No matter what, I have lived on Dong Mountain for two years.
You're hurting my heart too much!
I don't want the hat, but I can consider the giant bow on that guy's back.
The handsome man with the green hat and the Light Guards he brought were all archers with bows from the Holy Land. The griffin was not interested in other bows, but it was very envious of the silver bow on the captain's back … If it could bring this bow back to the Surface World, even if the Heavenly God did not want it, it could still be auctioned. As long as it could be auctioned for a few hundred million, it would be able to barely solve its long-term poverty!
"Griffon, he's not dead yet, don't be too obvious!" Jonathan could not stand Griffon's "poor" eyes.
"He will die sooner or later!" Griffon was very sure.
Another two hours passed.
A group of Light Guards with broken armor and wounded bodies retreated from the southwest direction. Following closely behind them was a black mass …
Everyone was stunned when they saw the black mass of beasts.
Damn.
He said that the invaders would not come from dozens of kilometers away. How long has it been?
"Invaders, demons!" The leader of the Light Guards who was in charge of guarding suddenly turned pale. Although he tried his best to control himself, his voice could not help but tremble.
