Chapter 69: Great Value for Money
After that, the battle ended quickly.
The commander was killed in the first round of bombardment, and the undead legion suddenly lost its backbone, coupled with the weakening effect of the anti-death enchantment and the back and forth bombardment of the holy spear, it was only a short time before the originally menacing undead legion was completely wiped out, and there was not even a bit of scum left. It didn't take long for the battle to come to an end, and with the fall of the last skeleton warrior, there was a thunderous roar of joy on the walls of the defensive line. It was no wonder that these soldiers were so excited, before this, it was clear to any discerning person that this line of defense was almost untenable, and the only thing they could do was to stall for time, so that the rear could prepare for the second wave of attacks from the undead army as soon as possible. Many people were even ready to die here, but with the appearance of that dazzling tide of brilliance, a miracle was born.
Until the end of the battle, some soldiers stood on the city wall in a daze, looking at the white bones in front of them in disbelief, thinking that they were still dreaming. Just now, these overwhelming skeletons of bones were almost about to kill them completely, but now, it is themselves standing here, and those skeletons of bones are completely finished?!
"The Holy Soul is above!"
"Oh oh oh oh!!"
The eager call sounded, and with the call of everyone, I saw that the tide of light and the golden magic circle that originally covered the sky gradually disappeared, and soon, the silver-white pillar of light converged again and disappeared into the night.
Picture perfect.
Rhodes turned the ring in his hand and nodded in satisfaction, which was also a "rehearsal" of the statue of the Holy Maiden, and now it seemed that it performed very well, just like in the Land of Atonement. There is nothing wrong with that. Whether it's the operation of the power of the law or the death-proof enchantment, it looks very normal. This also made Rod breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that what Seven Love said is not wrong, as long as it can be made, then it can be used anywhere.
Thinking of this, Rod nodded. Then he gestured to the captain next to him, who was already stunned.
"Ready to dock, unload."
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Rod's words, the captain was shocked, and then he came back to his senses, and then he hurriedly replied to Rod respectfully. He couldn't be blamed for this, after all, he hadn't seen the boundless power of the Holy Maiden statue before, and now he was so close. Looking at the powerful power released by the artifact, he immediately felt an unprecedented shock and awe. And the thought that he was actually fortunate enough to transport such a powerful artifact, the captain suddenly felt a little more proud and proud at this time, he answered Rode's words respectfully, and then quickly turned to leave.
As a border defense line shrouded in wind and tide, it is naturally indispensable for the air port of floating ships. After the signal light was played, someone soon guided the floating ship into the platform built next to it in Longteng Canyon to moor the floating boat. And there it is at the moment. There are also many high-ranking generals and officers standing densely. As long as they are not blind, they can see that the previous light tide and the terrifying and powerful golden thread circle were released from this ship. Originally, they thought it was some new weapon invented by the Royal Wizard Fleet. As a result, when it became clear that it was only a merchant ship in front of them, everyone was a little surprised. What's going on here?
The old man shook his beard and stared at the huge merchant ship in front of him with wide eyes of curiosity, he could tell that this was the merchant ship of the Shania family, but ............ Why does it appear at this time?
Soon, under the guidance. The float gradually approached the harbor, and then came to a steady stop on the platform. Then, I saw a few people walking out of it. Seeing one of the figures, the old general couldn't help but be stunned, and then strode forward.
"Miss Marlene? Isn't this Miss Marlene? How did you get here? ”
"Hello. General Anton. ”
Looking at the old general walking towards her, Marlene smiled slightly, and then nodded to him gently.
"It's been a long time, and seeing that your body is still so strong, then I'm relieved."
"Oops............ It's really changed............ I used to see that you were still a little girl who was not more than ten years old, and at that time I said that you would definitely be a big beauty in the future, look at the present, tsk ..............."
Looking at Marlene in front of him, Anton couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, but soon, he looked at Marlene curiously.
"But Miss Marlene, what are you doing here? I didn't hear you're coming to Dragon Canyon recently? Is there something wrong with the Shania family? ”
"That's right."
Hearing the old man's inquiry, Marlene restrained the smile on her face, and then she gestured to Rod.
"Let me introduce you first, this is Lord of the Parfield-Glenbel Lord, Mr. Rhodes."
"Oh?"
Hearing Marlene's words, the old man moved his gaze to Rod's body, and was stunned for a moment after seeing Rod's face, muttering that he wanted to say something, but at this time Marlene hurriedly gave the old man a look, and sensing the message delivered by Marlene, the old man could only shrug his shoulders and change what he originally intended to say.
"Hello, my lord. I'm Anton Anton Commander, who is in charge of the defense line of the Dragon Canyon. Haines. Welcome to Longteng Canyon. ”
Although he said very respectful official words on the surface, the old general still looked at Marlene with some doubts, as a relatively close subordinate of the Shania family, he also knew a little about what Marlene had been doing during this time, but they should have come here not only to drink tea and chat.
"That's right, General Anton."
Sensing Anton's doubts, Rod coughed lightly and then spoke.
"We're here to fulfill the reservation deal with Dragon's Canyon."
"Deal?"
Hearing this, General Anton frowned, as if he was a little confused. At this time, his adjutantant, a young man, quietly ran to his side, lowered his voice and said to the old general: "General, you forgot, just before, didn't there be news from the rear that this side of Longteng Canyon was going to be repaired...............
"Oh ............!!"
Hearing this, General Anton suddenly realized. Only then did he remember that he had indeed received news from the rear base camp more than ten days ago that they would spend money to buy a secret weapon that would be enough to ensure that the defense line could not be defeated by the undead legion, and the reason why the old general remembered this was entirely because he heard that the thing was worth three million gold coins, and the old general was angry at the time and slapped the table angrily and scolded the group of idiots in the rear for not having the brains to spend three million to buy any things, and it was better to invest this money in the defense of the front line and the equipment of the soldiers. And now............... Come to think of it. The old general's eyes lit up.
"Do you mean ...............?"
"That's right, General Anton, the first statue of the Holy Maiden has been built, so we have just brought it here, according to the prior consultation, this statue of the Holy Maiden will be placed in the center of the first line of defense, as for the exact location is still up to you. As for its power..............."
At this, Marlene paused slightly, then smiled lightly.
"I think you've seen that."
"Miss. You said that the one we just did was what we wanted? ”
Hearing this, General Anton's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Marlene and asked. As a soldier, he certainly understood how powerful the tide of light and the huge pillar of light that fell from the sky just now. Standing on the city wall, he saw with his own eyes that under the bombardment of the white pillar of light, thousands of undead creatures were wiped out, and there was not even a single scum left! And it only takes a few seconds to do it! The Holy Soul is above, such a powerful force. Are you going to be your own now?
Thinking of this, even if it is an old general who has always been calm and steady. At this time, I couldn't help but act like a child who was about to get a new toy, and I was excited.
"Where? Where's that thing, Miss? ”
"Please come with me."
Seeing that General Anton looked impatient in front of him, Marlene and Rhodes looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then they led General Anton to the statue of the Holy Maiden erected on the deck. At this moment, the statue of the Holy Maiden, which had been shut down, no longer radiated a dazzling silver-white light like before. Instead, it was a faint light like a firefly, and a little bit of light dust was wrapped around it, giving the whole statue a sense of holiness and tranquility.
Seeing the statue of the Holy Maiden in front of him, not only General Anton, but even his subordinates widened their eyes in surprise. They gathered around the statue of the Holy Maiden and carefully examined the stone statue in front of them. If it weren't for the power experienced by himself just now, no one would have imagined that such a stone statue would have such a powerful force.
The old general stood in front of the stone statue and looked at it carefully. At the old man's side, An, who was in charge of serving as Marlene's deputy, was talking to the old general about the performance, coverage, advantages and disadvantages of the statue of the Holy Maiden. This is not a difficult thing, on the one hand, she also knows something about the statue of the Holy Maiden in the fortress, and on the other hand, before leaving, Rod also specially wrote a manual according to the system instructions, and there are detailed records of most of the functions of the statue of the Holy Maiden, so this is naturally not a problem. Merely............ Rod felt that something was not quite right when he listened to it, although Ann said that these came to the head of the road, which was simple and easy to understand, but he didn't know what the Tao was for, Rod always felt that this young lady seemed to be engaged in pyramid schemes......
"That's what you taught her?"
Rod frowned, looked at Ann, and then tilted his head to Marlene. He was sure that it wasn't taught at least, and that the instruction manual was entirely in the official language, not as fanciful and heartwarming as Ann said it was now. Could it be that this young lady's business talent has finally blossomed? But that's a little too much of an industry.
"This ..............."
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Marlene showed a slightly embarrassed expression.
"This ......... It was Miss Seven Love who taught her, and she said that it was a compulsory course for business..............."
I see.
The two whispered in the back, but at this moment the old general was in no mood to entertain his distinguished guests, so he stood in front of the statue of the Holy Maiden, stroking the stone statue while listening to Ann's introduction. Especially when I heard that the death-proof enchantment of the statue of the Holy Maiden could envelop the surrounding area for dozens of miles, and it could greatly weaken the power of the undead creatures. And after being able to turn all the water sources into holy water, the old man was already so excited that he could only make a "whoosh" sound and couldn't say half a word. The Holy Soul is above! There is such a powerful thing in this world! With this in his own line of defense, what else does he need for the second and third lines of defense, with this, the old man can guarantee that those bone frames will not even be able to penetrate the first line of defense!
If the words were changed before, maybe the old general would have to give a discount to An's explanation, but just now, after personally experiencing the powerful power of this holy girl statue, the old man no longer had the slightest doubt about it! Thinking of his own complaints, and looking at the sacred stone statue in front of him, the old general couldn't wait to punch his head out. At the beginning, I actually disliked those stupid people and spent three million to buy a useless thing back. Now it looks, let alone three million! It's 30 million, and it's worth it!
Not only the old general, but even the other generals also showed happy and relaxed expressions after hearing Ann's explanation, and taking the scene in front of him into his eyes, Rod nodded with satisfaction.
All the best. (To be continued......)
