Tang En brought Eluri back to the camp in the Great Rift Valley.
As soon as they arrived, Eluri subconsciously covered her nose.
"Your Holiness," Leon said.
"The 'smell' is a bit unpleasant. Please bear with it."
"Okay."
Eluri nodded helplessly.
"Is it unpleasant?"
Tang En wrinkled his nose. Although there was the smell of rotting flesh in the air, it was not unpleasant.
"It's not because of the smell of blood in the air, but because of the rancid smell of purgatory in the air," Leon explained.
"I am the agent of Yerbil, and Eluri is the Saintess, so we are very sensitive to this smell. Tang En Majesty, you are a mage, so you must be more concerned about the changes in magic power."
Tang En nodded. What Leon said was somewhat reasonable.
"There are a lot of wounded people … Are they all here?"
Leon shook his head with a heavy expression. "No, I haven't met up with Olar, Shikaling, and I. I can't guarantee how many enemies they will encounter."
"I see."
Eluri pondered for a moment, then took out the Canon of Blessings and opened it. After finding a page that recorded healing magic, she held the Canon of Blessings in her left hand and raised her right hand high. With a wonderful rhythm, she recited the prayers in the Canon of Blessings. Rich holy light descended from the sky, with Eluri as the center, covering the whole camp. All the wounded people were bathed in the holy light. The corrosive power of the shadows was instantly purified by the powerful holy light. Then the holy light began to stimulate the flesh of the wounds, and the wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Come to think of it."
Tang En, who was standing next to Leon, whispered to him, "Why don't you treat them?"
"Are you kidding?"
Leon turned his head to look at Twain, wanting to make sure that he was not joking with him. "I'm a Paladin who specializes in combat magic, not a priest who specializes in healing magic. Although I have dabbled in auxiliary magic and healing magic, I'm not proficient in them. I can barely use them."
Tang En was speechless. "He can't even be omnipotent, and he's still the Agent of God?"
"If I had used God's Descent, I would have been able to do what the Saintess has done. However, the Agent of God has very strict requirements. I cannot use God's Descent as I wish."
Tang En curled his lips. "You don't have much power, but you do have a lot of restrictions."
"That's normal."
Leon thought for a moment and added, "Think about it. If you have a child and he fights with the children next door every day, he will ask you for help. How would you feel?"
Tang En was shocked. "F * ck, what you said makes sense!"
"Is that so?"
Leon spread out his hands innocently. "That's why I'm in a dilemma."
A minute later, the strong holy light began to fade, and finally broke into little bits of light that disappeared into the bodies of everyone present. The warm holy light nourished every cell in the body, and the tired bodies were fully recovered.
The wounded lying on the fur mats were alive and kicking again in the blink of an eye.
Tang En, who had witnessed the whole process, could not help but sigh. No matter how many times he saw this, he felt that this ability was too unscientific.
The recovered Paladins knelt on the ground on one knee and offered the highest praise and gratitude to Eluri.
"It's already noon. Let's get ready for lunch. During lunch, we can decide on the action plan in the afternoon."
"No problem."
Leon motioned for the knights to start cooking, and Tang En also ordered them to eat on the spot.
Then, an interesting scene occurred. The Paladins began to collect firewood, and then went to the forest to get water to boil. Leon was lazy, and simply took out a piece of dried meat and a piece of bread that was as hard as a rock from his luggage, dipping it in water and planning to eat it.
On the other hand, on Ellington's side, once they heard the order to eat, they all gathered in groups and queued up to receive their lunch from the team leader. Lunch consisted of delicious potato stew, juicy fruits, and freshly baked bread. The stew and canned fruits could be eaten directly, or they could be heated up with a portable military heater.
By the way, they also had delicious after-meal black tea and refreshments in their meals.
"Gulp."
Seeing the rich lunch of Ellington's guards, and then looking at their own dried meat and bread, the Paladins could not help but swallow their saliva.
Leon raised his head with a blank expression. "What's that sound?"
"Captain …"
A few Paladins could not help but whisper, "Why don't we go out and get some prey …"
They had never felt that having roasted meat to eat during a mission was a very happy thing.
"No."
Leon shook his head decisively. "We are very close to the rift valley now, and no one knows what dangers are nearby. We can't act alone."
"But …"
"No buts … Huh?" Leon was suddenly startled. "Why did Her Holiness the Adoratrice go to Tang En Majesty's side?"
"Because," the Paladin next to him said with grief and indignation, "the lunch at Tang En Majesty's side is better!"
Only then did Leon notice the rich fragrance floating in the air. The tempting smell of food even dispelled the unpleasant smell of blood from before. Leon turned his head to look at the lunch in the hands of Ellington's guards, and then looked at the dried meat in his hand. Even the strong-willed Leon could not help but mutter in a low voice, "Is he out for a picnic or to fight …"
"Captain …"
The Paladin looked at Leon with a bitter face.
"Don't look at me."
Leon said righteously. "As a Paladin, you must have the strong willpower to resist all temptations. As a messenger of God, will you be tempted by the desire for good food?"
Seeing the firm look in their captain's eyes, the Temple Knights lowered their heads in shame.
Compared to their captain, we are still so far behind … Our willpower is really too weak!
"Captain Leon."
Eluri happily came over with Tang En. "Tang En Majesty heard that the Paladins' meals are not very good, so he decided to provide you with some food."
Leon immediately put down the dried meat and bread in his hand, stood up and extended his right hand to Tang En. "Thank you for your help, Tang En Majesty. I am very grateful. I have had enough of this disgusting dried meat!"
"…"
The others next to him were just fooled by Leon's righteous face, but in the blink of an eye, they found that their captain, who had just righteously told them not to be tempted by the desire for good food, had immediately "bent his back to serve the rich and powerful" for the sake of food.
Their worldview was completely destroyed!
Eluri's shoulders trembled as she covered her mouth and laughed lightly. When she went to the underground world, she had eaten a lot of hard meat and bread. These two kinds of dry food made by the kitchen of the Church of Light were notoriously disgusting. Of course, there were also benefits — they were anti-corrosive, moth-resistant, and self-protective.
For a period of time, the Paladins were so bored that they even put these two kinds of dry food in the insect's nest just to test whether the insects would eat them or not. Of course, they did not get any results because they were discovered by a black-robed Grand Priest, who severely reprimanded them for wasting food.
In the end, he made them eat the dry food that the insects had crawled over.
Well, the insects almost walked into their diet in the future.
Twain took out a large amount of delicious food for the Paladins to share, which naturally won them a great deal of goodwill. The two teams gathered together. Although there was no wine because they were on alert for the battle, they still chatted happily with each other over tea and delicious food.
In such a dangerous world and holding such a dangerous job, no one could guarantee that they would not live to the next day. So, these people were very straightforward. They would not always be sad, because that would only make them die faster.
Look at Danny and the others. At this moment, they had already put away the sadness of the three companions who died in the morning.
"You don't have to eat dry food tonight."
Tang En smiled and said, "I have already ordered Lord Nitro in Taris to send food for 5,000 people from Taris to the Rift Valley every day. They will build a temporary supply camp near the official road between the Rift Valley and Taris. Our people can go there directly to receive the supplies."
Leon was overjoyed. "That's great. If the logistics problem is solved, we can fight here for a long time without any worries until the demons are dealt with."
"Logistics has never been a big problem. The Rift Valley is also not a problem."
Logistics could be solved with spatial equipment, but would the demons escape from the Rift Valley? That was not a problem. He could just seal the Rift Valley (in fact, it was not as simple as he thought).
Tang En asked, "The key is how to deal with the demons that escaped. Do you have a way to track them?"
Leon shook his head. "Although I can detect the aura of demons to a certain extent, it's still difficult to track them directly."
Demons were not as cunning as demons, but their whereabouts were unpredictable and aimless. It was difficult to track them according to a specific pattern. The only thing that could be done was to disperse the people and cast a wide net to screen them.
"I see …"
Tang En frowned slightly. "Can you get in touch with the other two teams? After lunch, let's meet up with the other two teams and exchange information. Then, we can decide on the next step of the plan. "
Leon looked at Eluri. Eluri nodded and said, "Yes, we can contact each other with divine spells."
"That's good."
Tang En was a little envious of the clerics. Look at them. Divine spells had solved the problem of mobile phones. What about spells? They were still using such a low-level method like magic letters!
Couldn't those seniors have developed some kind of point-to-point communication spell?
Now, he had to study mobile phones from scratch. It was really annoying.
After lunch, Eluri contacted Shikarin.
Then, she received terrible news.
