Chapter 873: The First Cry of Pure White (I)
"You're saying that you were attacked by the Abyss Demons and your lives were already in danger, and then the traitors of St. George suddenly appeared and saved you?"
In the conference room of the Supreme Command, several high-ranking members of the Salvation Army had almost arrived, and standing in the middle of the conference room was the head of the Advance Knights, who had just arrived in Stein City.
"That's right, if there are a few other people who may recognize the wrong person, St. George will never admit it."
"Does St. George owe you a lot of money?" A tall, thin-looking Salvation Army executive told a cold joke, but no one laughed.
The advance team failed to find out the truth on the side of the abyss demon, but was almost wiped out by the other party, which is already bad news, and as a result, his side has to rely on the help of the guy who has betrayed the Salvation Army to escape and come back to report the news, which is even more solid to give the Salvation Army senior management who agreed to send the advance team a slap in the face.
If it weren't for the fact that the regimental commander still understood, didn't go around publicizing it, and gave gag orders to the members of the Knights, the whole Stein must have been occupied by rumors by now, and the city was full of storms...... Although because of the defeat of the advance team, the current situation is similar.
"No, because St. George was the head of the knights who served under the Imperial Sword before he joined the Imperial Sword Knights."
Even if he knew that the chief was just joking, the knight could only answer honestly.
At this time, Alexander VI, who had been sitting in the first seat and had not spoken all this time, suddenly asked: "What do you think of the mysterious organization to which St. George and they belong now?" β
"Pretending to be a ghost. Not well-intentioned. The legendary Grand Mage Theraz snorted coldly, maintaining his prejudice against St. George as always.
In fact, because of Sivi's obstruction, he has not been able to catch Dawn and his party so far, which has made the old man very unhappy. Now that this kind of thing is happening again, it is natural that he will not say anything good.
"It's a strange rate of growth in their strength."
Another high-level doer touched his chin and said something different from other high-level people.
Alexander VI looked at him and gave him an encouraging look to continue.
"It's clear to all of us that both Sandler and Giraud are products of the Hero Project, and St George's is the template for the Hero Project. I think everyone here should know the truth about the hero's plan, right? β
"Erect a heroic image for some young people with good strength. Use the idol effect to boost the morale of the lower-class soldiers. Alexander VI was very cooperative in pointing out the essence of the heroic plan.
"That's right. So although there is a strengthening of the Heroic Treasure, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the heroes is not as exaggerated as advertised...... According to incomplete statistics, among the heroes that have been established so far, the average level has reached the level of a great magician. I'm afraid there won't be more than one hand. β
True. Heroic treasures such as the Ground Rust Armor and the Divine Bow and the Bird of Paradise are indeed very powerful. But in fact, the ability improvement for the holder is not as strong as imagined.
For example, Junes is already powerful, and the Rust Armor only gives him a little more protection at best - many enchanted armors can also provide similar defense, at most one less self-healing ability than the Rust Armor. And Sandler was a famous archer before he got the Bird of Paradise. Compared to the jungle rangers in the elves, the Bird of Paradise's ability to hit is very weak for him, even if it is the ability to enchant arrows, there are many enchanted arrows on the market that can be purchased, but they are a little more expensive......
"Before leaving Stein City, the true strength of Giraud and Sandler was a gap between the real strength of the Great Magician, and St. George was slightly higher than the ordinary Great Magician. If they don't get stronger, they will definitely be annihilated by the enemy who can destroy the advance team. β
"But listening to this knight leader, St. George did not have the slightest fear when they were surrounded by many powerful enemies, and easily fought their way out! Those were abyssal demons, not stupid orcs! This is obviously far beyond the Cheng dΓΉ of ordinary great magicians! β
The Salvation Army's top brass spoke impassionedly, and the spittle flew around with his impassioned speech.
"You mean, in the few days they've been away, those guys have all gotten two notches stronger?" Alexander VI furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief.
"It's not really certain yet, but honestly, based on what the head of the Order has to say, it's very likely."
The Salvation Army senior replied unhurriedly.
"Without evidence, speculation will not work!" At this time, another high-level executive who had been listening to the other party for so long suddenly objected: "Unless there is a more accurate battle report now, it proves that the strength of those guys is really the same as what this guy said." He pointed to the knight commander who was standing in the center, a little bewildered, and said, "Otherwise, I won't believe what you say, no matter how convincing it is." β
He had just said this, when suddenly a dove flew into the room through the crack in the window, circled over the head of Alexander VI several times, and finally fell into his hands.
Alexander VI twisted the white bird lightly, and the pigeon screamed miserably, turning back into white letterhead.
After reading the above information, the expression on Alexander's face became very strange.
"You have the evidence you want," he waved the letter in his hand at the student who had just objected, "Just now, St. George's team saved our last grain line, and with just four of them, they crushed a team consisting of a great demon, three hundred-eyed giants, and thousands of kobolds. Tirtz, the undead transport officer, was full of praise for them. β
ββ¦β¦ So even so, what do we do? The high-level who spoke out against it just now and was instantly slapped in the face muttered.
"Instead of discussing how to influence the other person here, why not just find out where the other person is first?" Others were involved.
"Nonsense, of course because I can't find it. Don't you see that even Old Man Thelas can't find it? β
But his question was quickly answered.
"In that case, then ask Miss Caterina to do the divination...... As a non-combat legend, although her divination is more restrictive, her credibility is still very high. Alexander VI was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized that Miss Caterina was not there: "Well, where has that young lady gone?" β
"Report...... It seems that a woman dressed as a man slipped out to play. β
"......" (To be continued......)
