After eating and using Stratholme's food, Carlos was too embarrassed to go too far and decided to do something practical.
The trolls that infiltrated south into the Stratholme region were only a small branch, and twenty centurions were dispatched to carry out a large-scale clearing. Carlos still had an army of more than 4,000 people, plus Turalyon's 1,000. manpower, the Alliance has taken absolute military initiative in the Stratholme region.
Looking back at history, fortification has always been the only way to deal with guerrilla warfare. Although the guerrillas seem to be sneaking around to take advantage of the fortress at any time, they are doing so at the risk of their lives. Not wanting to go around in circles with the trolls, Carlos directly started building the fortress at the location of the Northland Post in his memory from his previous life.
By fooling the nobles and wealthy people of Stratholme, Carlos boasted the benefits of building the fortress to the sky.
You see, the terrain of the Northland Outpost is steep. It guards three levels. It invests once and produces permanent output. Then it cleans the surrounding woods. There is a crossbow on the wall. If the troll dares to come, shoot holes all over his body. Moreover, it is not good for us to cheat His Majesty Terenas like this, right? How big a project it is to build such a fortress, how much rebates can we get, no, how much money does it cost! Isn’t this problem of reimbursement solved? Finally, you see, Stratholme City has such an outer fortress, how many troops can be saved, don't you think about it?
Thanks to the collusion or infatuation between Carlos and Stratholme's powerful people, in less than a week, a medium-sized fortress that could accommodate 500 people had begun to take shape.
What? Unscientific?
Carlos's heart was not dark, so the four thousand soldiers at least paid half of the cost of the project. After a period of deception by the officers, the soldiers felt that it was right to help others fight. You don’t have to risk your life, you can still get money for your work, you just have to get it!
And hundreds of holy knights cut mountains and rocks, euphemistically called it to exercise their holy power.
Anyway, now Carlos is eyeing the title of the strongest Paladin, while other Paladins are still studying how to infuse holy light into weapons. When it comes to how to cast the Holy Shield and the Blessing of Protection, Carlos has already played with the Holy Light.
According to Carlos, pouring holy power evenly into the weapon and cutting the stone into a smooth cross-section is also part of the practice. The other paladins are either the backup of the Silver Hand, or they are the domestic slaves of the National Knights of the Royal Religion. Anyone who dares to fight Carlos can only work honestly.
As a result, with the participation of the Holy Light humanoid stone crusher and the self-propelled humanoid woodcutter, a medium-sized fortress rose from the ground at an extremely unscientific speed.
Today's paladins generally have a misunderstanding of the Holy Light, believing that the Holy Light is a gift from the gods. It is a brilliance that cannot be touched lightly.
However, Carlos discovered this huge fallacy after investing a lot of experience in the Way of Holy Light, combined with his knowledge from his previous life.
The holy light is godless!
According to the knowledge from the previous life, the Holy Light is the manifestation of the supreme energy of the universe corresponding to evil energy. If evil energy is the ultimate embodiment and power foundation of the twisted void, it is the power of chaos. Then the holy light is the source of light of the order of the universe and the foundation of order.
Therefore, Holy Light has a strong assimilation effect. The more you use it, the more energetic you will become, and the more you use it, the more disciplined you will become. The more you use it, the more you can improve the affinity of the Holy Light. Simply put, users of the Holy Light will naturally shift to the order camp, and this change is subtle. Unstoppable, unless you give up the Holy Light and use other powers. In other words, Holy Light is not afraid of you stealing it, not afraid of you using it, but it is afraid that you will not use it, or that you will use it less!
Therefore, those Paladins who feel that the Holy Light is a gift from the gods and cannot be abused will not understand it, and they are in awe of it. On the contrary, it is what they hope for and what they insist on. Not necessarily correct.
Carlos used this theory to openly exploit his labor force, and the exploited felt that they were making a lot of money. Great progress has been made on the path of Holy Light.
What? You ask, shouldn't the Holy Light correspond to the Shadow?
Please, shadow and the power of shadow are natural forces with no right or wrong. Just because humans cannot defeat the devil in the way of shadow, the power of shadow must take the blame. It’s so frustrating for the shadow to take the blame!
Obviously the development of the Paladin is a good thing, but the only thing that makes Carlos feel surprised and unhappy is Turalyon's unscientific Holy Light talent.
Carlos even traveled through the rebirth zone and cheated to develop the Holy Light skills. Turalyon only asked a few seemingly related questions and followed Carlos through the mountains and plains, and actually understood the use of the Wings of Holy Light. method.
"Boy, just learn how to learn. We have a good relationship and I won't charge you tuition. What do you mean by going around in the sky twice?"
What should have been words of praise and congratulations turned into vicious threats in Carlos' mouth.
Turalyon didn't take it seriously, and said with a silly smile: "It feels so good to fly, but I am very tired. I estimate that the power of the Holy Light in my body now is only enough for me to fly for less than thirty seconds." of."
After Turalyon finished speaking, Carlos slapped him on the head.
"What do you think the Wings of Holy Light are used for?!"
Realizing that the sound was a bit loud and attracted the attention of others, Carlos lowered the volume and called the other paladins around him to gather around.
"That's good. The Wings of Holy Light are not...not just for showing off! The power of the Holy Light is released outwards and forms a controllable embodiment like wings behind it, which itself has very important practical significance. You also I have realized that guiding the Holy Light from the body is a test of willpower and skill. Many rookie Paladins cannot even infuse the Holy Light into their weapons to strengthen them. On the one hand, it is because they are novices, on the other hand It's also because of the difficulty. The Wings of Holy Light solve this problem perfectly. Perfection does not mean injecting the power of Holy Light into something, but wrapping the object with the controllable power of Holy Light. It can be a weapon or an armor. , or it can be ourselves. Therefore, during the duration of the Wings of Holy Light, the Paladin's combat power defense and recovery power are more than three times that of usual. Although it is indeed handsome, don't think that this move is A sacred flower display during a ceremony or a temporary flight technique used to escape. Sooner or later, a paladin who cannot open his wings will be embarrassed to say that he is a paladin!"
After Carlos finished speaking, everyone nodded sharply, and an unprecedented bright road seemed to appear in front of them.
"Then Your Excellency Uther..." After Turalyon thought about it, he wanted to ask something, but he couldn't formulate the complete language.
"That human-shaped Holy Light Battery is a special case. Don't use him as a reference." Carlos directly blackmailed Uther.
"Lightbringer, if you have the powerful power of Holy Light like Lord Uther, and now you have learned the Wings of Holy Light, I can lift twenty of them!" Turalyon said with admiration.
"Young man, chop down trees and stones, don't daydream. Okay, you've had enough rest. Let's go to work. I am a king who does it myself. What are your ink marks?" Carlos clapped his hands and motioned to the people gathered in a circle. It's time to leave.
"Carlos, what do you want to do? There is absolutely no need for us to build such a fortress. Even if we build such a fortress, there is no need to rush the work, right?" Seeing everyone around him disperse, Turalyon whispered in Carlos's ear asked.
"Escape." Carlos said two words softly.
"The city of Stratholme cannot be defended. It's not that this city is not strong, but if something unexpected happens and we retreat to Stratholme, the situation in the entire region will be completely destroyed. Now that there is such a fortress stuck here, no matter what happens Whatever, we all have a way out." Carlos thought for a while and felt that there was no need to hide anything from Turalyon, so he stated his intention.
"It makes sense. You can exchange stones for life, and it's not bad to suffer a little and be tired." Turalyon nodded and agreed with Carlos's statement, "Then what are you going to do next?"
"wait for news."
"what news?"
"On the one hand, we are waiting for news from your goddess, and on the other hand, we are waiting for news from Mr. Bad Teeth."
"Um, Mr. Nasty Tooth?"
"That's our human's best friend!"
After speaking, Carlos turned and left, ignoring Turalyon. (To be continued)
