Chapter 1064 Expedition(1/2)
Chapter 1064: Going to the Battle
Two months later, July 2546, the New Calendar.
Salta.
The uppermost layer of the city has been expanded and has a three-fold area than in the past. The temple, which has been renamed the Temple of Glory, stands in the middle of the square. On the top of the temple, a huge cross-shaped holy emblem shines brightly under the sun, with golden blood flowing on the cross structure, emitting a sacred light.
This is the holy emblem of the Lord of Glory!
Bang! Bang! Bang...
In the square before the temple, the huge war drum was beaten by two high-level paladins.
They stood on both sides with wooden hammers in hand, one by one, and took turns to beat the drum surface. The sound of the drums that shook the sky spread throughout the city and resounded throughout the sky.
Korsaro stood at the entrance of the temple, with the high priest Tusur and Zanjin standing on the left and right, and the two trolls were full of excitement.
Finally, this day has come!
Today is the day when the Glorious Tribe officially set out to fight against the Loa gods outside Inhenero.
Amid the drums, the paladins rode the horoscopes from all over the city. They entered the square and controlled their mounts to stand in an orderly manner. Each paladin exuded a strong aura, their armor was more sophisticated and their weapons were stronger. These were the achievements of the chief.
After a moment, a total of 30,000 paladins gathered in the Temple Square.
And this is not the end.
Corsaro waved his hand, and strong energy fluctuations came from the side halls on both sides of the temple, and the paladins looked at them one after another.
The side hall is also newly built, extremely wide, but has no walls. It only has stone pillars to support the dome, and you can see the scene inside.
Mysterious runes lit up on the ground in the hall.
Gradually, the air rippled like the water surface, energy gathered into a vortex, and the center quickly expanded into a tall portal, and you could see the scene opposite, and teams of fully armed paladins rushed out of the portal, ran out of the palace, and joined the glorious legion in the square.
The paladins have seen it many times, and many trolls have also experienced teleportation in person, but every time they see the portal open, they will always be amazed.
Teleportation array, portal, teleportation hall!
More than a year ago, when the Chief announced that the Teleportation Hall had been built and told the Paladins about its function, all the trolls were shocked.
Just take a few steps forward and you can reach another troll city hundreds of miles away in a blink of an eye!
This is a miracle!
Even more than two months ago, the chief led his army to conquer the entire land of God's abandonment, and the shock and boiling brought by him were not as good as the portal.
No matter how dull the troll is, he can think of how important the role of the portal is.
If the paladins had a little doubt on whether the tribe could conquer the entire Gulaman Empire, now that they learned about the existence of the portal, they had no doubts anymore. Almost all the trolls of the tribes who had just been conquered had their unfaithful intentions, and not only did they successfully submit, many trolls expressed their loyalty to the paladins.
The seven major cities of Inkhnero have built shrines of glory.
Moreover, the temple also has a teleportation array, which can directly reach Salta, but cannot teleport between each other, making Salta the teleportation center of Inkhnero!
At the beginning, the high priest Tusur strongly opposed the construction of teleportation arrays in other cities. He suggested that he would build them a few years later after the situation of various tribes was completely stable, so as to prevent the temple teleportation array from falling into the hands of the rebels and take the opportunity to counterattack Salta.
Tusuer's considerations are very thoughtful and mature.
But Colzaro refused.
These teleportation arrays are driven by the energy of the ancient saint altar, and the holy warriors guarding the teleportation array are actually all thunder-cast divine weapons.
No rebel can seize the teleportation array.
In fact, the teleportation arrays built by themselves were far more than seven. In the forests outside the major cities of Inkhnero, hidden teleportation arrays were built in each major transportation route and some important places, which were only used by Thunder Crown Heavenly Soldiers and Glorious Warriors.
This teleportation network covers the entire land of God’s abandonment. With just one thought, you can mobilize an army to arrive at the battlefield in five minutes.
At this moment, Tusuer shook his head secretly.
He watched the paladins deployed in the major troll cities and quickly returned to Salta to assemble through the teleportation array, and he was immediately convinced.
The Chief is right again!
There were 40,000 paladins in the square, which was not the whole of the entire glorious legion. There were 20,000 paladins left at the base to prevent the city from becoming empty and the situation would occur.
The drums stopped.
Colzaro ascended into the air and looked down at his army. The paladins also looked up at the chief, their eyes full of worship and awe.
"The glory is above!"
Corsaro prayed loudly and declared: "Everyone, we gathered under the glory of San Gilles, with only one goal: conquer!"
"Everything I see, I believe in glory."
"In the past half month, the pseudo-god Usok has sent troops to invade Inkhnero many times, and even attacked 'Farazash'. Although there were no casualties, this was a contempt for the Lord of Glory. We believe in the Lord of Glory and will never tolerate such behavior."
"In the name of San Gilles, today we will fight against the false god, and we will definitely pay the price."
"This way, we can live up to the blood of San Gilles!"
Corsaro roared out with his last words, and suddenly, tens of thousands of hallows shouted in unison: "Don't let down the blood of San Gilles!"
"Remain the blood of San Gilles!"
"Remain the blood of San Gilles..."
After shouting over and over again, the paladins were in awe of emotions, the fire of faith was burning fiercely, and the huge light of the incarnation of San Gilles appeared above the temple, sprinkling sacred light, blessing the believers, and immediately pushed the atmosphere to the peak.
"Set off!"
With the order of Corsaro, the Glorious Legion quickly entered the teleportation hall and stepped into one of the portals that had been opened.
This portal leads to Farazash, which is a troll city located in the easternmost part of Inkhnero. It originally belonged to a jungle troll tribe with a population of about 200,000 and is not large in scale. However, dozens of miles further east from Farazash, you will enter a territory of Loa.
Usok, God of Power!
More than two months ago, Korzaro conquered Farazash and cleaned the city, he sent two thousand paladins to control the overall situation.
Half of these two thousand paladins were glorious warriors. Not long after, glorious warriors noticed a spy sneaked into Farazash. After arresting them, they were questioned. They came from the Fengzhi tribe and believed in Usok, the god of power.
Korsaro had long discovered the situation around Ingeniro.
The main altar that he controls is connected to five ordinary altars, two of which are damaged, and have found a location for rebuilding.
The first damaged altar is in the north, part of Inkhnero, and has been conquered.
The other three altars are controlled by three Loa.
One is in the east, Usok, the god of power; Usok's territory further east is also a land of abandonment by gods, and it is the second damaged altar.
The remaining two Loa were in the south, Bergyaen, the god of fire, and Akunda, the god of lightning.
The six ancient saints altars formed a system that just covered the south of the Southern Continent, with an area of roughly a triangle, accounting for about a quarter of the entire Southern Continent.
In Colzaro's plan to conquer the Southern Continent, the first step was to destroy the three Loa gods and take down the entire south. No matter which Loa starts from, it is okay to attack first. The three Loa actually sent spies to sneak into Inkhnero to cause trouble.
To be honest, the most hostile and the most damage caused is actually Bergiaen, the god of flame located just south of Incheriro.
But Colzaro had no choice to attack it.
The reason why he chose Usok, the God of Power, as his first goal was that as long as he took Usok's territory, he could continue to go east and conquer another land of abandonment. The three territories merged, blocking the interference of the northern forces in the southern continent, closing the door and fighting dogs, creating more abundant time and space for eliminating the other two Loa.
A quarter of an hour later, all 40,000 brilliant legions had entered the portal and arrived at Farazash.
A scream came from the sky above Salta.
The troll civilians in the city looked up and saw white figures flying from the peaks of the Klera Mountains, roaring violent winds.
"Ice Winged Dragon!"
"When will I have an ice-winged dragon mount?" Many young trolls said with envy.
The troll next to him replied: "Just join the Chiefs' Guard."
“That’s too difficult…”
Now in the Glorious Tribe, young trolls most yearn for joining the Chief Guard and becoming the Chief Guard, so that they can get an Ice Winged Dragon mount. However, the selection requirements for the Chief Guard are too high, and at least they must be an elite paladin with outstanding talent. They must have half the chance to become a high-level paladin in the future, and they must also accept the chief's personal selection.
In pairs of envious eyes, the ice-winged dragons slowed down to fly to the square, and they hovered in the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
The Ice Winged Dragon entered the portal in an orderly manner and appeared in the Temple of Glory in Farazash.
Farazashi was built in a forest and was not large in size. At this time, the trolls in the city were shocked and watched teams of paladins come out of the temple and rush out of the city gate.
In the sky, huge ice-winged dragons soared into the sky.
Colsaro also rode an ice-winged dragon. It is the strongest among more than a thousand ice-winged dragons. After six soul transformations, his bloodline has returned to his ancestors. He is very close to the white dragon. His body is covered with blue and white scales like ice crystals. His wings are more than 20 meters wide, and it is only half a step away from being promoted to the holy level.
The members of the Chief Guard remained within 1,000, half of which were Thundercast Divine Soldiers, all equipped with an Ice Winged Dragon mount.
Shortly after leaving the city.
Colzaro suddenly ordered the army to enter a remote valley about twenty miles from Farazash, which was very inconspicuous. The paladins of the Glorious Legion soon saw a portal standing in the valley and immediately understood.
This portal is taller than the temple's portal and can transport troops faster.
The paladins quickly passed through the portal.
Then, not far away, I saw a troll city built at the intersection of two rivers. The city was twice as large as Farazash. It built a tall wall and attracted the river to form a wide moat.
"Zuanke!"
