Chapter 915: Guardians

In a hilly area with many mountains, a team is marching.

This team was huge, with men and horses, and several chariots of unusual shapes. They moved in a mighty manner through the valleys of the hills like a winding centipede.

From a distance, the team looks very impressive, but if you get closer, you can see that it is not very orderly:

The members of this team were of all shapes and sizes. The hundreds of people at the front were relatively neat, with a height of about seven to ten feet. Although there was a difference of about three feet, it was not so conspicuous from a distance. The six knights at the front were riding mounts of the same height, so they looked almost the same height.

But the large group that started later was already uneven to a certain extent. The tall warriors who were inserted in the team almost like symbols were several feet tall, like moving mountains, and in front of them there were dwarfs less than three feet tall. It seemed that if those tall demons raised their feet a little higher, they would easily step on them.

Although the composition of this team is so mixed, they are arranged in order and move at a moderate speed, allowing these tall and short demons to move forward at a constant speed. This shows that they are very disciplined and are by no means an ordinary mob.

The members of the team, whether knights, infantrymen, or charioteers, all wore different styles, some wearing armor, some wearing robes, and some wearing nothing on their upper body or even thighs. But they all had one thing in common: large areas of green.

Even the almost naked Great Demon had a green scarf around his neck, making him look like he had a green neck. The knights in the front had a layer of green on their armor and a bright green cloak on their backs, which looked like they had just grown out of a vegetable garden.

There is a flag erected on the head of the horse in the front. It is also mainly green, with a big word "圣" written in white.

That is a sign of the Holy Spirit.

This slightly strange-looking army is none other than a division of the "Holy Spirit Guardian Army" that is feared and renowned in the spiritual world today.

This team had made outstanding achievements in battle. Just a month ago, as one of the three main divisions, they attacked the base camp of the traitorous spirit world priest Haotian, almost annihilated the remnants of the Left Upper God, and finally escaped unscathed when Haotian angrily launched a counterattack. Now, after a month of replenishment, their number has expanded to 3,000, and their strength is even better than that day.

  But today they were not going to conquer, on the contrary, they received an unprecedented mission - rescue!

Rescue the Holy Spirit's Temple Skyfall Island!

It was ridiculous to say that the Holy Spirit was so majestic that they had always been the only ones to fight others, but no one else had fought them. They chased the remnants like dogs chasing rabbits, and they ran everywhere, hiding in their caves and dared not come out. However, just when they saw the dawn of completely destroying the other side, they received a signal for help from the island.

Those remnants actually dared to launch a sneak attack on Skyfall Island?

  How is that possible? How could they have extra strength?

The demons of the Crusader Army simply couldn't believe it, and even questioned whether it was a fake, a plot by the other side, who wanted to escape when they returned. However, the general of this army, the "Heroic Sage", found out the news through his own means and told everyone:

"This is not fake news, it is true. Haotian and other spiritual world humiliations used despicable means to sell out the interests of the spiritual world and exchanged an army from the human world. They took advantage of the emptiness in the center of Tianjiang Island to launch a sneak attack and killed several priests. Now they have surrounded the docks and islands around Tianjiang Island and blocked all the priests and priests on the island."

Upon hearing this, the demons in the sky became furious and accused Haotian of being shameless. He actually dared to resist, did not believe in the Holy Spirit, and yet refused to die. This was simply too abominable.

There was a knight who asked, "Even if they ask for help from the barbarians, what can they do? What are the barbarians? They were defeated by us back then. We have several high priests and Holy Knights on our island. We don't even need to do anything. We would have destroyed them long ago. At least we still have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can blow them apart with just a breath. Do we still need to rush to their aid from thousands of miles away?"

Without waiting for the demons to agree, the wise man severely criticized them, "This is not something you should think about! The priests have their own reasons for what kind of power they have, whether they will take action, and what kind of strategy they arrange. Since they asked us to go back, it is naturally necessary for the battle situation. How can you think about it? Do you still want to disobey? As for the Holy Spirit, it is of course effortless for the Holy Spirit to take action, but what do we need to do? Our duty is to defend the religion, to protect the Holy Spirit and the temple. Only when we fall can the Holy Spirit take action. If the Holy Spirit has to take care of everything personally, what use are we? Turn around and go back!"

So the army turned around and headed straight for Tianjiang Island.

They were originally active near Haotian's base camp, which was deep in the heart of the Pantheon and very far away from the Skyfall Island. If a few Templar Knights were allowed to rush back at the fastest speed, it would only take a day or two. But since they were going back with a large army, they had to consider the marching speed.

So they set out three days ago, traveling day and night, moving at full speed while maintaining combat effectiveness, and in just three days they saw the "Coral Hills Area" on the side of the Holy Sea where the Skyfall Island was located.

After crossing these hills, you can see the temple!

Of course, this hilly area is also very vast, the road is difficult to walk on, and they have to guard against sneak attacks. After the army entered, they walked for another whole day and did not see an exit, which made them even more tired.

Seeing this situation, the wise man knew that they could not just march blindly. They had to maintain their fighting power and not be at the end of their strength when they arrived at the battlefield. Instead, they had to launch a wave of attacks like a tiger coming down from the mountain. It would be best if they could directly disperse the enemy and lay the foundation for victory. So he decided:

"Rest for half a day when we get to the Holy Bud Valley ahead."

When the order was passed down, the three armies cheered and even their steps became lighter.

At this time, the deputy of Ying Xianzhe, Tubu, stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "There should be a teleportation array in that valley, right? Can we teleport directly back? Although it is a small teleportation array, it can reach the palace directly. What if we can send a few people back to report the news first? I have been a little worried because I have not been able to communicate with the headquarters recently." Ying Xianzhe said helplessly: "The array is broken."

"Ah? What happened? He was fine when we came out."

Sage Ying frowned and said, "I'm also surprised, but a message came from the temple saying that the teleportation array suddenly broke down a few days ago. Our temple doesn't have the technical background in this area, and we can't find anyone to repair it. Now we're recruiting skilled people and technical officers from the Hundred Clans, and there has been some progress, but it will take a few days to repair it."

Tubu said with an "oh" sound, "Isn't this... just a coincidence? Will there be any problems?"

The sage Ying asked, "Do you suspect that it was the remnants of evil who were behind this?"

Tubu sighed, "I can't help but doubt it. The messages I received these two days are one after another, each one more urgent than the other, but many of them are contradictory and very strange. It's like several heads and hands are sending messages at the same time and fighting with each other. The way of transmitting messages and the code words are all secrets known only to the insiders, so there should be no mistakes. I think the situation in the temple at this time may be..."

Yes, the soldiers in the team were full of enthusiasm, and they wanted to go back immediately to destroy the enemy in no time and make great achievements. However, the top military officials were not so optimistic. Just by looking at the news release, they knew that the Temple had suffered something.

Moreover, the high-level officials knew more information and knew that the Holy Spirit did not come out to suppress the rebellion, not just because he was unwilling to take action, but because he had been sleeping all the time and only issued orders occasionally. It should be that the injuries from the last Ten Thousand Gods Conference have not fully recovered. Even if he can take action, his strength is discounted, and it will affect the subsequent recovery of injuries. Now is really the weakest time for the Holy Temple.

If my house is robbed, I'll be doomed.

The Sage was silent. He was not without doubts, but he felt that it was not that serious. Coral Hills was actually the territory of the Holy Temple. The fact that they dared to build a teleportation array there meant that it was absolutely safe. If someone attacked it, it meant that Coral Hills had been completely lost, and there should not even be any news of its destruction.

"If it was really destroyed, doesn't it mean that we are now surrounded by others?"

The English sage was startled and immediately said, "Send someone to investigate. Send someone smarter!"

Tubu stood up and said, "Why send anyone? I'll go. I can only feel at ease if I go."

The Sage Ying nodded. He really trusted this old partner the most. They had been partners before they believed in the Holy Spirit. He said, "Okay. You go there in person. If you encounter danger, don't take risks. Quietly withdraw and I will personally pick you up."

Tub nodded and walked away.

He had been gone for most of the day, and the team was still moving forward slowly. Except for the top leaders, no one knew what they might encounter ahead.

The Sage Ying was worried and looked ahead. After a long time, he saw his old partner's mount running towards him.

"How about it?"

Tubu, who had just returned, smiled and said lightly, "I was too careful. It's okay, they are still repairing the place. But when they heard that our large group was coming, they were a little unhappy. They said they were working hard and it would be too much of a disturbance for us to go over there, so they asked us to take a detour and go back directly."

Sage Ying was very dissatisfied after hearing this and shouted, "Why is their work hard? Isn't it hard for us to travel a long distance? A bunch of idiots can't repair a teleportation array in a few days and they still deserve credit? It's not their place. We are going there, so we will camp in front of them. Why do we care what they say? Go and pass on my order, hurry to Shengya Valley! Go to the valley to eat!"

The team sped up a bit and saw the valley right in front of them. The entrance to the valley was very narrow and curved, like a young sprout.

The team entered the valley, and Sage Ying saw a group of people in the distance gathering around a place, probably repairing a teleportation array, and was about to go over and give them a few shouts.

Sudden--

He felt something was wrong and stopped. The people surrounding him also turned around and stared at him.

  They are all about seven or eight feet tall, with black hair and black eyes. They are a group of... barbarians?

"Boom boom boom——"

The sound of drums rang out, and countless figures suddenly jumped out from the surrounding hills, overlooking the demons in the valley.

The British Sage suddenly turned his head, stared at Tubu, and said, "Is this what you mean by okay?!"
