PS: Today's chapter has a total of 4500 words. Isn't that impressive?
"What's impossible?" the half-elf asked in confusion.
"This person … This person is the White Wolf Holy Knight!" Laing showed the pendant to everyone. His face was slightly pale. "There's no mistake. It's the Wolf Fang, the symbol of the White Wolf! This person is the White Wolf Holy Knight! "
"That's not right. Doesn't the White Wolf Holy Knight guard the White Wolf Temple in the Empire's Vollrich Territory for life? Even if he dies, he will be buried in the temple!" Al- Frey said in confusion. "Laing, as a White Wolf Knight, you should know best."
When a White Wolf Knight completely proved his strength, courage, and glory to the White Wolf God of War Yuric, he would win a chance to become a White Wolf Holy Knight. This White Wolf Knight would enter the Holy Fire burning in the White Wolf Temple alone and undergo the test of the fire.
The Holy Fire would use a terrifying method to bestow new power to the believer, reshaping the spirit and body of the White Wolf Knight. Wolf fangs would grow out of his gums. When his body was destroyed along with intense pain, the White Wolf Knight would have to overcome the darkness in his heart to prevent himself from being controlled by bloodthirst and violence.
The White Wolf Knight who failed would be burned to ashes in the Holy Fire. Only the successful White Wolf Knight would complete the transformation and become the most glorious White Wolf Holy Knight, forever guarding the White Wolf Temple. Only the leader of the White Wolf Knights and the White Wolf Archbishop could order him to move out.
For example, Laing's adoptive father, Norman, had always hoped that Laing could become a White Wolf Holy Knight.
"Yes, that's right. For generations, all the White Wolf Holy Knights were buried in the White Wolf Temple …" Laing said in a deep voice. He seemed to hesitate when talking about this secret. Then, he continued, "However, there was an unexpected existence. In the great Holy War 150 years ago, the second Eternal God of Chaos, 'Anointed One' Isaac Kuval, led the Army of Chaos to break through many important towns and defense lines of the Empire. He also destroyed the capital of the Empire and advanced to White Wolf City."
"At that time, the one who guarded White Wolf City was Hedrick Adalbert, the Kurfürst of the Empire. Different from the imperial court and the great nobles of the Empire that had already decayed, this Kurfürst was a noble who had excellent military accomplishments and a firm belief in Yurick. He led the army of the Vollich Domain to resist with all his might. However, the Army of Chaos was endless. In the end, the army of the Kurfürst suffered a glorious defeat in Suke City, which was less than 30 kilometers away from White Wolf City. The Archbishop of the White Wolf Holy Knight died gloriously in battle. They had no choice but to retreat to White Wolf City. Relying on the protection of Yurick's Holy Fire, they defended this metropolis. Except for White Wolf City, the entire Kurfürst Domain fell."
"The commander of this battle was' Iron Claw 'Logan Frings, the former leader of the White Wolf Knights. Although no one blamed him, he still couldn't forgive himself. After the great Holy War ended, he put down his badge of the White Wolf Knight and left White Wolf City alone. His whereabouts are still unknown … He was the only White Wolf Holy Knight who was not buried in the White Wolf Temple."
The implication of Laing's words was very obvious.
The skeleton in front of them was Logan Frings?
The few of them turned pale. If the former leader of the White Wolf Knights had fallen here, then would they be able to leave this place alive?
What secrets did this mine hold?!
"Wait, there's a sound!" Laing was the first to hear the sound coming from the depths of the mine.
"Prepare for battle!" Alfred Frey took down the shield on his back.
The sound from within the mine grew louder and louder. In the darkness, groups of hunched figures appeared.
They were kobolds, groups of kobolds.
These kobolds had scaly skin that ranged from dark brown to black. They had two light-colored horns, bright eyes, straight mouse-like tails, and coarse clothes. Seeing the humans appear, they all shouted, "Humans! Intruders! "
"Kill them!"
"Kill them all!"
"Don't let them invade our holy land!"
A kobold sorcerer who was larger than the other kobolds held a wooden staff and pointed at Laing's group, "Destroy the humans!"
An astonishing number of kobolds surged out from all directions, charging towards Laing's group.
"Stop them!" Laing gestured for everyone to retreat. He stood at the front alone. Many kobolds raised wooden clubs, scimitars, pickaxes, and flails as they charged towards Laing's group. Astaire immediately grabbed a handful of arrows, and after a series of volleys, the kobolds at the front fell one after another. However, the death of just a few kobolds was not enough to make them retreat.
As soon as Alfred Frey raised his shield, he could feel at least three kobolds ramming into his shield. Just as he swung his sword to kill one, more kobolds surged forward, their inferior weapons continuously striking the paladin's shield. Alfred Frey, who felt that he was surrounded, immediately raised his sword and roared, "Divine Judgement!"
Golden energy surrounded Alfred Frey and rumbled, suppressing all the kobolds. Seeing this, Alfred Frey protected Weasley and the guide as they fought and retreated, "Retreat quickly, we're finished if we're surrounded!"
"Mr. Paladin! Thank you very much! "Weasley and the guide's strength was average, so they quickly retreated.
"Ugh!" As soon as Laing pushed away the kobold army, more kobolds immediately surrounded him. They did not care about their losses, and many of them directly pounced on Laing's body, biting with their teeth and claws.
Of course, these kobolds' claws and teeth could not do anything to Laing, but Laing could not use his full strength. He could only wave his warhammer horizontally, once again sending a large group of kobolds flying. Then, the flaming warhammer fiercely slashed through the air, "Retreat! Don't fight these kobolds in an open area! "
Underground, he did not dare to use too strong a battle skill, such as Thunderstrike, which released energy when smashed into the ground. If he was not careful, it would cause the mine to collapse, and then they would be buried alive.
Psionic Storm was also difficult to use. The kobolds were too close to them. He himself was not afraid of Psionic Storm, but this did not mean that his teammates were not. This was reality, not a game, and there was no friendly force!
Laing could only release Psionic Storm in the direction of one of the kobolds, and then led a few people to retreat as they fought.
"There's too many of them!" Astell drew his bow. The gnomes felt like there were kobolds everywhere, constantly attacking their small circle. They quickly shot out a few arrows, but they could not stop the kobolds' attacks. The gnomes were not good at close combat, so they were in a difficult situation, "What do we do?"
"Let's retreat to the place where only one person can pass. Alfred and I will block the entrance. Once we've killed enough of them, they'll retreat automatically!" Ryan swung his warhammer and smashed five Kobolds in a row. Then, with a Horizontal Sweep, he sent another four Kobolds flying. However, there were simply too many Kobolds, especially those on higher ground. Some of the smaller Kobolds wielding short bows appeared in Astaire's field of vision.
"Everyone be careful! It's kobold archers! Poison arrows! "Astell immediately shouted. Kobolds would put poison on their arrows, this was common knowledge.
The gnomes' reactions were too late.
The poison arrows flying over had limited killing power. After all, the kobolds' arm strength was limited, and the arrows were crudely made. Alfred Frey had full body armor and Laing had extraordinary vitality, so this kind of poison arrow could not harm them at all.
The guide was the one who was hit by the poison arrows. He was only an ordinary guard, and after being hit by the poison arrows, he immediately collapsed from the numbness. A group of kobolds swarmed over and dismembered him. Leon couldn't even save him in time.
"Roar ~ ~"
"Wa la, wa la!"
The normal kobold miners excitedly shouted. Kobolds did not like to eat the flesh of intelligent creatures, but they found joy in killing intelligent creatures.
At the same time, the kobold shaman in the distance ordered all the kobolds to surround the company's director, Weasley.
He could see that this human was the weakest, and the other three humans were too strong.
Countless kobolds received the Shaman's orders and charged towards Weasley without any regard for the cost. They advanced one after another, some grabbing onto Weasley's feet, some grabbing onto his legs, and some pulling on his clothes. The director of the Chamber of Commerce screamed, "Save me! Mister Laing! Mister Alfred Frey! Save me! Ah ah ah!!! "
A kobold jumped on his shoulder and bit down. Blood splattered everywhere.
"Damn it! If Veronica or Teresa were here, we would not be so passive! " Ryan noticed the kobold shaman. He thought that if he had a spellcaster with him, he could have killed the weak shaman with a single spell. That way, they wouldn't have been in such a passive situation. The geno prototype swung its hammer, and all the kobolds in front of him were sent flying. "Astell, attack that kobold shaman!"
The gnomes had won a little time to breathe with the help of Laing. He had just drawn his bow when he found that many kobolds had already protected their shaman. The gnomes had to put down the longbow. "I can't shoot. My arrows can't penetrate the kobold's body."
"Damn it, it's Arcane Missile!" Laing noticed that the kobold shaman had finished casting. Five energy beams had formed. It was a third-circle spell, Quintuple Arcane Missile.
Five missiles were shot directly at Laing and the others. Alfred Frey saw this and finally used Sacred Shield. A golden ring wrapped around the paladin's body. He bravely stood in front of everyone and said, "Leave this to me. You guys retreat!"
Arcane Missile was useless against Sacred Shield. The group finally retreated to a place where only one person could pass. Alfred Frey stood in the middle of the road with a tragic face, blocking the oncoming kobold army. It looked like he was going to sacrifice himself to bring up the rear.
Laing thought to himself, What era is this? They are still playing the game of bringing up the rear. Plus, it's not like they can't beat the kobolds. So, Laing signaled for him to switch places with Alfred Frey. "I'll go in front and hold them off."
Astell desperately pulled Weasley's body back. The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce was a bloody mess. The gnomes quickly took out some ointment and applied it to him. Laing and Alfred Frey each blocked the front and back of the passage. The kobolds could not move an inch forward.
Especially Laing. The geno prototype stood alone at the narrow entrance of the tunnel. Any kobold that dared to come close was smashed into meat paste by the warhammer. No matter how the kobolds tried to attack Laing, they could not hurt him. Again and again, only corpses were left behind.
Hiding behind Laing and Alfred Frey, Astell kept shooting arrows. The kobold archers standing on high ground fell one by one.
Gradually, the kobolds began to hesitate. The kobold shaman saw this and was very anxious. He waved the magic staff in his hand and shouted, "Go! Go! Go! Go! "
"Get rid of those humans! We cannot let them discover the holy land of the kobolds! "
Now is the time! Astell realized that because of the kobold shaman's nonsense, the kobolds' formation was in chaos. The gnomes immediately took out the few remaining arrows in the quiver and aimed at the kobold shaman. "Laing, cover me."
"Okay!" Laing immediately reached out his hand and touched the warhammer. Golden lightning replaced the previous flames. The flashing lightning made the kobolds close their eyes. Kobolds were a race that did not like light. When they saw light, they would subconsciously avoid it.
But that did not mean they were afraid of light. They just did not like it.
"Do not retreat! Do not retreat! " The kobold shaman screamed. He immediately signaled the strong kobolds that were protecting him to go forward and supervise the battle. "Do not retreat! Those who retreat, kill! "
Before he could finish his sentence, an arrow flew over and hit the kobold shaman's throat. The kobold shaman opened his mouth, took a few steps back, and died.
"The leader is dead!"
"The leader was killed by Pointy Ears!"
It didn't take long for the hordes of kobolds to disperse. Without a leader, these ignorant and evil creatures had completely lost their organization. They left a ground full of corpses and disappeared into the depths of the mine.
"It's finally over." Laing put down the warhammer and looked at the messy mine. He let out a long breath. "I thought I would have to keep killing these kobolds until they were all dead."
Laing, who was a mid-legendary and had the geno prototype, was invincible against the kobolds. His body was strong enough to ensure that he would not be hurt by the kobolds' inferior weapons. The powerful holy grail mark and extraordinary body made it difficult for him to be tired from such a low-intensity battle. So, the main thing was that he had an advantage in the terrain. He could not lose.
But this kind of battle was meaningless. It was a waste of time.
"Laing … Mister Weasley is badly injured. He has been poisoned." Astell was panting. Compared to Alfred Frey, who was still full of energy, half-elves were not known for their physical strength.
"How bad is it?" Laing immediately turned around to check on Weasley's injuries. He noticed that the director's injuries were very serious. There were many wounds on his body. Especially since he had been poisoned, the director's breathing was weak.
Alfreid chanted a Holy Light spell, temporarily stabilizing his injuries. However, a divine spell like Holy Light could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It could stop the bleeding, but it could not heal the wound. Alfreid was very clear on this point. The paladin immediately said, "Mr. Weasley must be treated immediately, otherwise his leg will have to be amputated."
"No, I do not want to be amputated!" Weasley howled. The middle-aged man did not want to lose his legs. "Please, gentlemen, save me. I will repay you. Please!"
The sacred samurai and half-elves did not want to leave him in the lurch. Laing also felt that it was necessary to save the director of the Luigi Chamber of Commerce. So he said, "How about this? Alfred Frey, Astell, you guys take Mister Weasley back to the surface."
"What about you?"
"I will explore this mine and then return to the surface."
"Then be careful." Alfred Frey and Astell did not have any objections. After going through a bloody battle, the chances of Laing encountering a strong enemy were greatly reduced. They were also confident in Laing's strength.
The sacred samurai and half-elves left with the heavily injured Weasley.
Laing continued forward. He had already guessed what the so-called holy land of the kobolds was.
Following the direction of the kobolds, he continued forward for another ten minutes. In the process, he heard more whispers.
"All things come from me, and they will be destroyed because of me."
"The Battle of Heaven is the beginning of everything."
"The so-called resistance is futile. The predators of the subspace will return one day. Victory is just a continuation of the survival of the species."
When Laing followed the source of the voice and pulled out Nemesis to completely cut open a thick rock wall, a tall, shining golden figure was already waiting inside.
"You are much faster than I expected, Laing."
"You are also much faster than I expected, father."
