Chapter 306

When everyone walked out of the battle meeting room...

They saw Clementine still entangled with the two 4th-rank angels.

"Too interesting, hee hee~"

The playful laughter, calm and unhurried, rang out in the night.

Clementine's agile figure constantly moved between the Peace Authority Angel and the Surveillance Authority Angel, holding a short cone in each hand, carrying out offense and defense quickly.

The two massive 4th-rank angels, facing the unusually agile Clementine, could only achieve a suppression effect.

*Ding—ding—ding—*

The dense sound of metallic collisions, like pouring rain, played in the square.

The elite troops of the Paladin Order, Priest Order, and Sunlight Scripture, who were resting around, all looked at Clementine with fear.

Powerful!

Crazy!

This was the first feeling of everyone seeing Clementine at this moment, showing her power and perverted laughter.

"So strong!"

"Red" Orland licked his lips, his head with the horned helmet shaking slightly, looking like he couldn't wait to join in.

Pavel, the "Black," pressed the black round hat on his head, his eagle-like eyes horizontal, and reminded: "Don't do anything stupid."

While speaking...

Pavel, the "Black," quickly swept across everyone present, taking in everyone's expressions, and then observed Tang Zheng, who had been calm all along, his heart skipping a beat.

Not surprised that the two angels didn't take down the opponent?

Could it be that this Team Leader Tang's strength is more than that?

At this moment!

Clementine, who was being besieged by the two angels, also noticed the people walking out of the meeting room.

"The boring meeting is finally over."

Clementine pressed her legs down, then jumped with force, flipped in mid-air to dodge the angel's attack, landed head-first towards the ground, her fluffy golden hair hanging down, the corners of her mouth curling up:

"Staying here, I was about to be bored to death!"

*Pop! *

Clementine supported the ground with one hand the moment she was about to land, turned around, and landed in a half-squat easily:

"Little brother, I have to thank you for summoning these two little toys to keep me company."

Little toys?

Hearing this description, all the elites present couldn't help but stiffen their expressions.

*Boom! Boom! *

The Surveillance Authority Angel and the Peace Authority Angel flapped their wings and rushed towards Clementine again.

With a "pop!" sound...

Tang Zheng raised his palm and snapped his fingers lightly. The two 4th-rank angels stopped and hovered in mid-air at the same time.

The next moment...

White light surged from the bodies of the two angels, turning into a large number of light spots and dissipating.

"Miss Clementine, as long as you like it."

Tang Zheng said calmly, then added: "Also, I hope Miss Clementine can use her excess energy on the enemies we are about to face."

"Oh, ha."

Clementine's smile became even brighter, squinting her eyes and staring at Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng responded with a smile.

The two level-28 4th-rank angels couldn't take her down. Clementine's strength was indeed in the first tier among human warriors.

Conversely...

Given Clementine's personality, not destroying the two angels also indirectly showed that her attack intensity was weaker than her speed.

Among the crowd present, except for himself, in terms of hard strength, the only one who could contend with Clementine should be Remedios.

*Tsk. *

A light tsk sound, not loud or soft, came from Remedios's mouth. Her arms in silver-white bracers were crossed over her chest: "Do we have to continue wasting time—"

"Clementine!"

"You forgot what the High Priest told you." Captain Nigun's face had long since turned black, suppressing his anger, his face gloomy.

If it weren't for Clementine's situation and status being truly special, he wouldn't want to participate in this mission with her at all.

There were two Quintias in the 【Black Scripture】. Compared to the other one, this woman was a mentally abnormal person possessing Heroic Realm power. Unfortunately, that Quintia died.

It even caused the terrifying situation where the 【Water Scripture】 investigating this matter was nearly wiped out!

This matter was a secret within the Theocracy, and even he only knew a little bit of information.

Hearing the words "High Priest"...

"Got it, got it."

Clementine withdrew her gaze, a bored expression appearing on her fair cheeks, and she gripped the short cones with both hands and inserted them back into the scabbard on her back.

"Team Leader Tang, Captain Nigun, you two..."

Looking at this scene, Kelart's eyes were solemn, but her expression remained gentle as she signaled.

The Slane Theocracy actually had such a powerhouse?

Never heard of it at all!

Kelart glanced at Remedios with the corner of her eye and found that her sister's eyes were serious, and her heart already understood Clementine's strength.

Sending such a mysterious powerhouse, what is the Slane Theocracy's intention?

No wonder this Captain Nigun, seeing Team Leader Tang clash with Clementine, had always been so calm without any worry.

And this Team Leader Tang.

The level of these two angels is definitely not an ordinary 4th-rank angel!

"The situation is urgent!"

Captain Nigun still had a gloomy face, said coldly to Kelart, then turned to look at Tang Zheng on the side, a hint of a smile squeezed onto his stiff face:

"Team Leader Tang, Clementine's personality is relatively jumpy. Please don't take what happened just now to heart."

This attitude surprised Tang Zheng.

Because of Clementine, his first contact with the Slane Theocracy couldn't be considered pleasant, and it was his first time meeting Captain Nigun, yet the other party's attitude towards him was relatively friendly.

"I won't."

Tang Zheng responded simply.

"There is one thing."

Remedios suddenly spoke at this time, her gaze falling on Enri, who was somewhat uneasy behind Tang Zheng:

"Before setting out, I want to ask Team Leader Tang, are you sure you want to bring this ordinary person?"

Remedios indeed didn't like Clementine, who clearly had problems with her personality but possessed powerful strength, but she wouldn't say much.

With her power, she could play a big role in the upcoming crusade against the undead, but this ordinary girl in "Free Will"...

Remedios had a relatively big opinion.

"Enri."

"Yes, Team Leader!"

"You might die."

"Enri is not afraid!" The girl clenched her fists, her eyes firm, and her earnest voice rang out under everyone's gaze.

Tang Zheng turned his head and smiled gently: "This is her will, and it is also the will of the 'Free Will' team."

"Hmph."

Remedios stared at Enri, then looked at the smiling Tang Zheng, her sharp eyes softened, and she snorted and turned her head away: "Don't blame others for not reminding you if you die."

"Ho ha ha ha!"

Go-Gin let out a hearty laugh, raised his hand wanting to pat Enri on the shoulder, but stopped instantly, realizing that with his strength, she would probably get hurt if he patted her, and grinned:

"I really admire you, human girl."

"Don't worry, even if your Team Leader can't protect you, I won't let you get hurt."

Enri puffed out her cheeks.

The short interlude ended quickly. The three parties... no, it should be four parties.

The Holy Kingdom, the Slane Theocracy, the Adventurer Guild represented by Tang Zheng, and the demi-humans represented by Go-Gin all clearly knew that the relationship between the parties was even more fragile than imagined.

If it weren't for the existence of a common enemy, the four parties would never have gathered together!

Under the urging of their respective captains and leaders...

The elite troops who were resting gathered quickly. Kelart, Remedios, and Captain Nigun returned to their respective units.

Pavel, the "Black," "Red" Orland, Go-Gin, Clementine, Tang Zheng, the Cuiye Witch, and Enri gathered together.

Their combat styles and methods were different, and they stood independently outside the three elite units, playing a role of assistance and supplementation.

Tang Zheng now also understood the identity of the middle-aged Paladin whose identity he was the only one not clear about.

Another Vice-Captain of the Paladin Order—"Peach" Isadoro.

Remedios was also one of the Nine Colors, granted the title of "White."

"Four of the Holy Kingdom's Nine Colors are gathered here."

Tang Zheng could perceive the Holy Queen Calca's determination to eliminate the undead in the hilly region from this lineup.

The 9 people in the "Nine Colors" were not all granted titles based on the strength of their power. Those who made great contributions in culture, national level, etc., would also be granted titles.

The few people in front of him could be said to be the 4 strongest among the Nine Colors!

The month of the falling water.

March 28th, 4:59 AM.

There were only sparse stars in the night sky.

Nearly 600 absolute elites left "Kalinsha" and reached the fortress wall first.

The city gate of the central stronghold, which had never been opened for decades, opened, and everyone passed through the fortress wall gate, heading to the Abelion Hills in a straight line!

The scorching sun baked the earth.

Dry air and withered yellow grass entered everyone's field of vision.

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and after several hours of travel, everyone finally entered the hilly region after dawn.

Although it wasn't far from the Holy Kingdom, the climate difference between the two places was like heaven and earth, making many people feel astonished and puzzled.

"The climate here really has a problem."

Captain Nigun looked up at the sky, his heart sinking. This wasn't much different from the intelligence estimated before.

The location where everyone was currently was a somewhat desolate forest. Due to the lack of water or the influence of the overly hot temperature, the leaves of a large number of trees were extremely sparse or even yellowed.

"Everyone, rest first!"

Kelart gave the order at this time.

The Slane Theocracy dispatched the 【Sunlight Scripture】 as an assisting party, so on the surface, Kelart of the Holy Kingdom served as the overall commander.

According to the pre-planned layout...

All members of the Paladin Order dispersed, forming a circle, protecting the magic casters of the Priest Order and the Scripture units inside to guard against any sudden situations!

Abelion Hills, southern region.

Corpse Pit.

Densely packed raised mounds of earth were spread all over the land, even though the scorching sun was hanging high in the sky at this moment.

But the entire area carried an inexplicable chill!

Under the mounds and the entire piece of ground, a large number of undead were sleeping. The rich negative energy and death aura that could not be observed by the naked eye were constantly flowing and gathering in this area.

At the edge of the huge corpse pit...

A rotting, foul stench, as if it had been fermented for decades, constantly surged from the deepest part of the corpse pit. It was a stench that would cause an ordinary person to faint after smelling it once.

The sky-high mosquitoes and flies gathered together, like black clouds covering this area, making a "buzzing" sound that made one's scalp tingle.

"I said I would give you a chance."

The Alliance Leader, wrapped in pitch-black negative energy, stood quietly at the edge of the stone pit, a pair of pale eyes that appeared and disappeared looking at a figure inside.

Khajiit!

The other party was currently in a state of coma, placed in the center of a pile of rotting corpses.

Turn around.

The Alliance Leader ignored this stench and walked outside. The thumb-sized mosquitoes and flies flew past from all around but never dared to approach the area where the Alliance Leader was.

*Boom! *

Heavy footsteps followed.

That was the tall Death Knight, following the Alliance Leader step by step. The terrifying aura and pressure seemed to have become even stronger than when it was just born.

In the eye sockets and limb joints, faint black energy overflowed, and even the red patterns on the armor became more scarlet and terrifying!

When the Alliance Leader left this area and reached the outer perimeter, he saw two figures sitting on a raised mound of earth.

An old man wearing a dirty dark gray robe, with somewhat gray hair, looking to be over 60 years old, with a dry and hard face.

Around him were some black insects floating, and in front of him stood a special demi-human stiffly—a demi-human race called the Blade-Armor Insect.

Another one...

Was a middle-aged man wearing full black armor, his face covered with finger-thick long scars, looking unusually ferocious. The pitch-black armor was engraved with some kind of beast image, very rough, carrying a sense of violence.

The other party exuded a cold aura, with a pitch-black long sword inserted beside him, the blade glowing with a faint yellow magic light.

These two were none other than two of the twelve apostles in 【Zuranon】.

Excluding the dead one and Khajiit, there were 10 high-level disciples, each of whom had things to do, excluding those too far away and other arrangements...

The Alliance Leader only summoned these two high-level disciples.

"Alliance Leader."

"Alliance Leader."

The gray-robed old man and the black-armored warrior spoke respectfully at the same time.

"How are those resisting demi-humans being handled?" The Alliance Leader's hoarse voice rang out.

"The old man has solved a part of them."

The gray-robed old man's expression was slightly embarrassed, "The demi-humans are now huddled in the corner. The leader is the Snake King known as 'Seven-Colored Scales,' which is a bit troublesome."

The Alliance Leader didn't speak.

The air went silent. An invisible pressure seemed to radiate from the Alliance Leader, making a trace of cold sweat appear on the gray-robed old man's forehead.

*Roar! *

Suddenly, the Death Knight, who had been quiet behind the Alliance Leader, had its scarlet eyes light up, letting out a roar with a dry, flat voice as if it had lost its vocal cords.

"Huh?"

The Alliance Leader turned his head slightly to look at the Death Knight, "It seems the guests we were waiting for have finally arrived."

Undead were most sensitive to the aura of the living. A large number of undead corpses had long been buried in this land.

Once the living approached, the Death Knight could feel it.

*Click* sound.

The black-armored knight raised his head, a twisted smile appearing on his scarred face: "I heard the Paladin Order Captain of the Holy Kingdom holds one of the four holy swords, Safalicia!"

"I don't know if she will come here!"

As he spoke, the black-armored knight pulled out the corrupt sword inserted on the side: "I really want to know, is her holy sword stronger, or is this corrupt sword of mine stronger!"
