Pastor Richard did not return to Anthony Grand Harbour until the sun went down, which was the first time Xu Yichen saw Richard's mount.

An earth dragon, as Richard himself said, with a swaggering countenance.

In the eyes of the Demon Hunter, it looked like a crocodile with elongated limbs, with hard scale armor and sharp bone spurs on its back.

In order to make this thing mountable, Richard didn't know how to smooth the bone spurs on the opponent's back, so he fixed a special riding saddle on it.

"Has your church never investigated the corruption of the clergy?" The demon hunter patted the earth dragon in the face: "I guess the monster can eat a cow at every meal, and his salary will definitely not be able to afford it!" ”

"Little bastard, the mount that Lao Tzu captured with his ability is the head dragon, and the church has to pay for me to raise it!" Priest Richard scolded with squinted eyes, ignoring the demon hunter's jokes, and walked away with the others without looking back.

The young native Paladin, Severn, and a small team of ten men were left behind to act as liaison officers between the Church and the Paladin Expeditionary Force.

Of course, this was also a kind of training, and the expeditionary force was composed of the most experienced paladins of the Church, and Richard hoped that these young men would learn something useful from them.

By the way, just in case, if there is a conflict between the demon hunters and the paladins of the expeditionary force, Severn is the firewall for both sides.

For all the above reasons, Severn feels that he is under a lot of pressure.

I don't know if it's the legendary paladin Stannis who I've never met has always had such a style of governing the army, or if Dale Seaworth is a resolute character-

When the paladins finally settled down completely, he immediately asked Xu Yichen to get a closer look at the chaotic contaminated area left behind by the battle between the Demon Hunter and the Sadistic Champion.

It has always been semi-blocked, because the area is too large, neither the ecclesiastical forces of Antony Grand Harbor nor the Retribution Warband can completely block that area, so they can only leave a few paladin groups to patrol the area every day.

As for the secular power of Antony Grand Port, no one has any confidence in them anymore.

Reverend Richard didn't even dare to let the city guards enter the Black Forest, let alone penetrate into the contaminated area.

Under Antoine's governance, the economy of Antonio Port continued to improve, while the combat effectiveness of the city guard army also plummeted, with corruption at the top, long-term absences from junior officers, and soldiers at the bottom receiving military salaries.

Entering the Black Forest, they can't even beat the wild wolves in the forest, and if they accidentally encounter the green skins, they can't even maintain the formation, and they will disappear as many people as they enter.

It is for this reason that the white ash material in that particular polluted area has been secretly circulated in the area of Antonio Grand Port.

On the black market in the Old World, the price of this gray-white substance, which can isolate the power of magic to a certain extent, has soared to a level more expensive than the same volume of gold.

And this kind of thing is almost everywhere in that polluted area, and the only thing that needs to be paid is to avoid the extremely sparse patrols of the holy knights and the militia of the Retribution Warband, and then put it in your pocket.

So far, there have been no cases of physical or mental mutations caused by exposure to this substance, possibly due to long incubation periods, or due to the abusive disdain for these machinations.

In general, this easy-to-store, seemingly harmless substance has not become a major problem for the church for the time being, but the future market is already obvious to all.

This time, one of the major tasks of the Paladin Expeditionary Force is to completely purify that land, and if it can't be done, to completely seal off that area.

To this end, the expeditionary force carried more than five tons of high-grade holy water by warships.

When those oak barrels were first brought in, Xu Yichen thought that they were filled with wine or something, but there were more than ten holy warriors guarding him all the time, so he felt that it was not so simple.

Xu Yichen did not refuse Dell's request, and he was always at ease with the gray-white contaminated area, but he was unable to solve it, so he could only let it be placed there.

Soon, the Demon Hunter set off with the Paladin Dale on a horse borrowed from the Paladin.

He was accompanied by a team of twenty paladins, and Severn was accompanied by a team of five local paladins.

The members of the expeditionary force all summoned their celestial companions, and in the bursts of white flashes, the demon hunters and the few local paladins were a little shabby.

Only Saiwen also rode the same celestial warhorse, making the local forces seem less miserable.

Although several local young holy warriors couldn't help but show envious eyes, after seeing the strange but extremely popular war horse of the demon hunter, Saiwen no longer felt how awesome the celestial war horse he had summoned was.

However, during the last battle against the Corrupted Tree, the Demon Hunter's horse was killed by Nurgle's family with a Psionic Storm.

At this time, less than half of the one-month recovery time has passed, otherwise Xu Yichen will be able to show up again and pretend to be forced.

Of course, with the shape of the thick chaotic wind of the Apocalypse, it is likely that these battle-hardened holy warriors will directly use the Evil Breaker Slash to send it away with the demon hunters.

Night, in the eyes of mortals, is the time of evil forces, and many transcendent species that feed on humans like to haunt at night.

As the first professional among the human beings to stand up against the world, most of them will gain the ability or talent to see at night on their own exemplary path.

For example, demon hunters who have been enemies of various transcendent species all year round, the moment they become demon hunters, they gain the night vision talent of [Shimmer Vision].

And the holy warriors also have their own way, most of the brothers and nobles of the God of War Temple will obtain [Shimmer Vision] or further [Dark Vision] on the path of exemplary like Demon Hunters, and at the extreme, they will choose the talent of [Blind Fight].

But the followers of the Lord of the Dawn are unwilling to submit to the night, and their gods represent the power of the rising sun and possess the power of the sun.

Therefore, the holy warriors of Loshanda, the Lord of Dawn, the believers in the procession, lit up their armor and weapons, illuminating the space under the night.

The demon hunter subconsciously stayed away from these tin cans that glowed like candles in the dark.
