After visiting Salorian, Griffiths returned directly to the front from Fort Tuyan. The Hand of God is chasing Isius, and the rebels are attacking Macdonald's Army. No battle is something he cannot miss.
His purpose in coming to Tuyang Castle was, on the one hand, to see if he could get intelligence support from Salorian and understand his enemy before the battle began; on the other hand, and more importantly, he needed to know about this demigod wielder. What's the position?
The local teleportation circle in Tuyang Valley is set up outside the demigod's castle and can quickly send him back to the front line. Griffith was waiting for the teleportation in the lounge. He took some tea and wrote on the table to clear his mind.
Start from scratch…
The intertwined destinies of Griffith and Galadia are due to the guidance of the oracle. Miss Elf came to Manisa Village to look for clues to help her complete the promotion trial. They were destined to meet on that day.
Someone is waiting for them. First came the attacks from goblins, mage apprentice Isis and living zombies, and then the orcs trained by Rudias appeared. According to the investigation, these people and monsters are all related to Homemon Watts, and the orcs, chaotic and evil alchemical creatures, point to Salorian.
In several incidents, Griffith obtained the "Potion Preparation Notes" and the bone ring Minos.
When he returned to Neopolis Island to perform his mission, the Deathrattle Order was trying to resurrect Krista, but it was destroyed by the followers of the Creator of the Void Realm; The power left by the thread of life is related to the families of Isius and Aaron.
After Griffith and Galadia were involved in the territorial sealed object "Black Domain", they discovered that a strong orc had caused massacre in Xiluo Village in Tuyang Valley and also killed an earth-burrowing demonic insect.
Salorian, Roland, the counts, and the Holy See at least knew that the extraordinary swordsman Lancenis participated in the rebellion in Verona and destroyed the army of the local nobles. Among the local rebels, there is a fallen wizard with the pseudonym Reed Siri who was once a student of Salorian. He carries the emblem of the Deathrattle Order and is running to contain Beyelan.
Shortly after the Rebellion in Verona, an army of the undead attacked the city of Raven. In that battle, the death knight used an earthworm. It was this battle that resurrected Krista.
Subsequently, evidence found in the Bellomont ruins in Tulan Swamp showed that Salorian was the author of "Notes on Potion Preparation" and that he had a close relationship with the ancient creature "Miss Lover" hidden in the Silver Moon Tower.
Through his partnership with Roland, Salorian is building an army. Using firearms and new tactics, this army was very similar to the Rebels and was of the same lineage as the Confederate army.
Without Salorian, Griffith would not have interfered with the Rite of the Chosen, nor would he have become one of the Chosen Ones.
So, what does this demigod want? What was the nature of his action?
First of all, without strong financial and technical support, the rebels in Verona would not have been able to establish such a new army to threaten the Bayeran Army. In this way, rebel patrons were promoting the composition and ideas of the new army. With the situation in Verona so critical, no matter who wins the next battle, the new army will expand at an accelerated pace until it shakes the world order guarded by the Byeran Legion.
Secondly, it became increasingly difficult for the Bayerland Senate to cope with the crisis at hand. They need the Hand of God and new armies to deal with Isius and the rebels. This upcoming battle of the new army is destined to be commanded by Griffith, facing other God's Hands on the battlefield where he is best at it.
The warriors of the gods have been sent to the arena, and the final stage of the Sacrifice of the Chosen leading to the miracle will surely be initiated.
Salorian expressed his support for Griffith with practical actions... But why? What's the benefit of him doing this?
Like Roland, are you looking forward to starting a new era? This makes sense, but are there other motives driving this demigod?
Could it be that this would allow him to get back together with his lover, and if Griffith won the miracle, he would be able to make a wish? Or is it going to take him, who is already the Supreme, one step further and reach the throne of God?
It can’t be because of interest...
Salorian is still friendly to this day, but if you can't understand his appeal, you can't be wary of possible dangers.
Griffith was thinking when someone came to remind him that the teleportation circle had been activated and he could return to Harmanli Town at any time. He immediately stepped into the magic circle, let the bright light embrace him, passed through the bizarre fantasy tunnel, and once again stood on the mage tower in the town of Harmanli.
"Come back so soon?" Lana sat in the open space outside the magic circle and asked his companion who had just returned with a puzzled look on his face, "Are you alone?"
"Should I bring someone else here?" Griffith tapped his dizzy forehead. The continuous use of space transfer made him dizzy and his stomach was churning.
"I thought you would bring Galadia back? It would be great if Captain Valkyrie could come to support us," Rana said with some uneasiness in his expression, "Iseus has at least one dragon under his command. Those rebels can even shake up the Legion, and the few troops we have on hand are not enough."
"Garadia will come, and she will bring us the necessary long-range firepower," Griffith replied. "As for the dragon, if it is really a dragon, it will definitely go down in the history of Verona." Leave a name. I suspect it is the result of Westeros soldiers losing control."
"If that's the case, it would be interesting. I will contact Fiona to try to find out the details of Westero's troops. With the support of the Archon, we should be able to find clues," Lana waved, "Come on, Miu La, Russell, and Desai in your team are preparing to interrogate the captured harpy. She has returned to her human form and can speak."
…
The Banshee Loper was captured in the battle and imprisoned in the wizard's tower in the town of Halmanli. The facilities here can not only conduct necessary inspections on mysterious creatures, but also receive timely intelligence support from the administrative authorities. Coupled with Murat's knowledge of the local area, Beyeland could get the information he needed even if Loper didn't speak.
A preliminary report on her identity, family and background was quickly sent.
"She's not from Westeros?"
Before starting the interrogation, Griffith quickly glanced at the report and asked doubtfully.
Desai immediately reported: "No, sir. She is a local shepherdess and has no military experience."
"Then how did she get this ability?" Lana, who came with her, was also surprised. "We have to let her speak. If the thousands of shepherdesses in Verona are so powerful, we should end it ourselves."
The cell at the lower level of the mage tower was cold and cold. Loper, who had returned to his human form, was trapped on the ground by chains. Murat and Russell sat behind the interrogation table, staring at her.
Griffith was the one who captured Loper alive. However, when he saw the shepherdess in the cell, he did not recognize her for a moment.
This little girl has a completely different form from a harpy. She is as thin as a bamboo pole. She is only twelve or thirteen years old at most, the same age as Murat's fiancée and Iseus' sister.
Loper bit his lip, watching the menacing knights entering the cell one by one, and then looking at the densely packed torture instruments on the wall, his face was whiter than paper.
Griffith sat down on the chair and asked calmly:
"Tell me about your family and experience. When did you join the rebels? Who gave you the ability to transform into a harpy? Where is that person? Where is the rebel camp?"
Loper seemed to have thought about it, and his words were coherent and calm:
“My family has a father, mother, and four brothers and sisters. Because we are poor, our home is a mud house covered with thatch, with a wooden table for eating and a bed for my parents to sleep on. The others make bunks on the floor, which is far worse than here.
"My parents and brother farmed the land for the lord, and I took care of the sheep. The entire village's land belonged to him. It turned out that the harvest was 40% of the grain left by the family, and the lord took 60%. At this time, the food was still enough for the whole family. Later, the lord took away 70% of the food, and life became difficult. The family could only eat sweet potatoes and some radishes, but it is not surprising that this is the case for poor people.
"Then there was a war. I heard that Beyelan's army was coming. But I was in the countryside. I didn't know what was going on. The rent had increased to 80%. My father and the people in the village went to the lord to beg him. People would starve to death. Lord lord There are knights who beat everyone out.
"The food started to turn into soup and leaves. Sir Knight, if you ask me about my past experiences, I have to say that I don't remember anything else except hunger.
"People kept dying in the village because there was no food. The older people died first, and then the children. My brothers and sisters and I were so hungry that we were dizzy. Master Knight, you know that we can't feed five children. , I just don’t know who will die first, or whether the whole family will starve to death together.
"We looked for leaves and berries, but soon these were gone. We lay on the ground holding hands, hungry for five days, without the strength to move, and just wanted to free ourselves.
"At this time, a group of soldiers suddenly came. They hanged the lord, opened a warehouse to store grain, and then said that the land belongs to everyone and needs to be divided again. The rent is 37 cents. My family is 7 cents and the rent is 3 cents."
Loper wiped his eyes with his hand. The three knights, officers and sergeants just looked at her and said nothing.
"Our family survived. My two brothers also joined the rebels. They said the goal of the rebels was to give land to all the poor.
"This happened last year. Since then, I have helped the rebels take care of their livestock. The troops taught in the village and taught us how to write. We learned about the world situation and the purpose and discipline of the rebels.
"Later, the battle became more and more difficult. The wizard from Beyelan burned our warriors to ashes with a wave of his hand, and twenty of the bravest men could not stop the knight in full armor. Brothers in the battle sacrificed.
"Master Knight, you asked me when I would join the rebels, and I have to tell you that it was that time.
"I joined the rebel army and found out that the people in this army were all children of poor people, even the officers. Everyone trained, ate and rested together. I met Xia Boyang, the great commander-in-chief. He and his officers ate together with me. Potatoes. There is no oppression of subordinates by superiors. The superiors take care of the soldiers, and the soldiers fight desperately for victory.
“The battle has been tough.
"Gulam's eldest brother said that my physique is special and can adapt to their power. Do you want to join them? Of course, it is also very dangerous. I did not hesitate for a minute. If my efforts can save more people's lives, If you can make the masters suffer, then why should you hesitate?"
At this point, several people around the interrogation table began to look at the whips, soldering irons and pliers hanging on the wall, and Russell began to grind his teeth. The shepherdess looked at them and stopped. It was obvious that she was trembling.
Griffith stood up and walked towards her. Every step of the majestic knight is frightening.
"Where are the people who gave you the medicine and your troops?"
Loper was shaking. She hadn't experienced it, but had heard about what happened during interrogations, more than once. What she just said made her brave for a brief moment, but the moment she stopped to face the knight, she felt like she was going to collapse, and she was scared to death.
"Generally speaking, I don't ask questions directly." Griffith took off a whip and handed it to Murat.
Murat decided to try harder: "Tell me, little girl, as long as you name your superior, I will ensure that you can live the life of a lord, and your family will be protected."
"Thank you, Lord Knight," Loper tried to curl his lips, "But, I refuse.
"The army is full of poor children. Everyone in Gulam is my comrade-in-arms. If I live, they will die. Everyone will go back to the life of paying rent to the landlord, and wait to die because of hunger. They are worse than pigs and dogs. The days will come back.”
Griffith's expression had changed, and he knew he couldn't ask anything. Furious, Russell snatched the whip and gave Loper two lashes.
The girl's body curled up like a shrimp. The two blows almost killed her and left her breathless.
She took a deep breath and shouted to the knights:
"Fuck you, if you greet me casually, if you say a word, I'm not a human being!"
