Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Hawthorn led a group of trustworthy soldiers from the outside into the main hall of the city in disgrace, and said anxiously to his father: "Run quickly, father, the barrier has disappeared, and the flying dragon is wreaking havoc in the mansion. Now in Xicheng District The enemy over there has also broken through the defense line. If we don’t leave, it will be too late!”

Lu Si'en still refused to give up and asked: "Where is Master Anthony? With Master Anthony here, the flying dragon can be driven out, and the backup spell barrier can also be set up."

Before Hawthorn could answer, the floor of the city lord's hall shook, and the door was blocked by a huge and ferocious black creature. Yaqir lay down, observing the situation in the hall with his golden vertical pupils.

"Father, please take your mother and little sister first..." Hawthorne inspired aether all over his body, pulled out his weapon and slashed at the flying dragon blocking the door.

However, before he finished speaking, the burning dragon's breath filled the entire city lord's hall.

The flag representing General Lu Sien suddenly fell in the sea of ​​fire. White, whose silver armor was stained with the enemy's blood, took back the sword of the Homeless Knight that had cut off the flagpole, and said to himself: "Is this okay?"

At this time, Roland, who was commanding the Allied forces to support the northern city, suddenly received a system prompt:

[Mission 3: Successfully captured Pulin City (completed), mission reward: Stonewell City (8/[-])]

[Mission 100000 (optional): Occupy Pulin City before the Holy Empire of France sends troops to support (completed), mission reward: warrior Neferi Lu (can be summoned), [-] ether points]

Chapter 96: Neferi Lu

At this point, the system announced that three of the four missions related to [Puling City Siege] have been completed.

Mission [-] unlocks the elite unit Lion Guard, mission [-] unlocks the basic unit Storm Eagle, and mission [-] unlocks the warrior Neferi Lu.

For Roland, the most important thing at the moment is the completion of mission one.

Because General Lu Sien, the highest commander in Pling City, had already subordinated General Hawthorne, who was burned to death by Yakir with dragon's breath. At the same time, White, the homeless knight, cut down the flag of the general's mansion, and the garrison in Pling City sprouted. When he decided to retreat, the system determined that Roland would occupy Pulin City.

In other words, he can now set up a blessing teleportation point in Pulin City to shake people, and he can also summon the two newly unlocked remaining Storm King troops.

The price of the Lion Guard is 500 points higher than that of the Homeless Knight, and requires 1500 Ether points.

In the game, these Lion Guards are real elite monsters. After being killed, they will drop eclipse forging stones, beast blood and ancient teeth, and they will not refresh on the map after passing the blessing point.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the discolored forged stone. The description in the ancient tooth text mentions that the ancient tooth is a shape with multiple crowns growing from the root of the tooth. This shape is said to be the product of the "smelting furnace".The seemingly inconspicuous beast blood text also has descriptions such as "beast blood containing golden light" and "blood that does not corrupt".

Perhaps most players' impression of the Lion Guard is the widely circulated "Circus" video: once the player as a mage waves his staff to cast a spell, even if it is not locked, the two lions at the gate of Sol City will be very synchronized. 's leap.This blatant phenomenon of reading instructions also made many mage players at that time criticize the old thief Miyazaki.

The ether required to summon the Storm Eagle is much lower, only 50 points, which is the same as the Grek Soldier.

The talons of these Storm War Eagles are embedded with thin and light claw-shaped swords, which will not hinder the movement of the Storm War Eagles while giving them greater lethality.

Roland sent someone to call back Edgar, who was fighting bravely on the front line, and asked him to temporarily replace him in the central army to command the allied forces. He took Rodel Knight Ikosela back to his camp in the West City District to set up a gift. Fu transfer point.

The transfer of troops through the blessing teleportation point has been well hidden by Roland, so he also does not want other allies to see this secret this time.

Although during the Battle of Leiden City, Roland teleported the newly summoned Big Tree Guards and King Grek's army back to Morn City through the blessing teleportation point to defend, spies from various countries learned from the surviving residents of Leiden City, but They just thought that Roland's Golden Dynasty had a powerful space legendary mage helping him, and they did not expect that the Golden Dynasty could be teleported anytime and anywhere through blessing points.

Countries like the Holy Empire of France also have space teleportation spells, but they won't use them unless absolutely necessary.

One is that space mages who can reach the legendary level are very rare, and the other is that the materials required to teleport thousands or even tens of thousands of troops to a distant place are very painful even for the Holy Empire of France.

Therefore, regarding Roland's behavior of teleporting soldiers back to Morn City in Leiden City, other countries could only express that the golden dynasty that emerged from the endless forest was indeed wealthy.

Moreover, the spies all zeroed in on the suspected target of the legendary space mage, Melina, who was behind Roland and had been hiding her appearance under the hood in front of outsiders.Roland laughed out loud after learning this information. If any country really tried to attack her in the same way as the space mage, Melina would let the assassins sent by the other party experience what it means to be desperate.

Roland closed his eyes in the house where he had rested before, and set the golden blessing transmission point on the ground.

If it was the same as in Moren City and Leiden City, the golden tree body in the Endless Forest had regained contact with Roland, and a massive amount of golden blessings poured out like a river through the blessing point that Roland had just set up, turning this house Dyed a dazzling gold color.

Then these blessings gradually spread from the house to the camp. First, a faint golden light appeared on the exiled soldiers who stayed in the camp.The blessings quickly spread to the streets. In the panicked eyes of the residents of Pulin City who had taken refuge, the blessings rushed along the ground towards the soldiers of the Golden Dynasty who were fighting on the front line.

There were also some blessings that tentatively attached themselves to the residents who were taking refuge, but the Golden Tree soon discovered that these residents were not people who believed in themselves. They only cured their mental fatigue and then removed the blessings from their bodies. Take back.And the bodies of the residents of Pulin City who had been touched by the golden blessing just felt an unprecedented lightness and contentment, as if all the diseases and fatigue in their bodies were far away from them.So they showed a sense of loss after losing the blessing in their bodies.

Some of the troops in the central area of ​​the city who were still holding their positions to resist the Allied attack suddenly discovered that the morale of the soldiers wearing dark red shawls in front of them had increased visibly after being covered by a layer of golden light. The battle line that was already retreating was suddenly increasing in strength. , the reaction speed also increased, and the retreat was even more severe in front of the exiled soldiers.

The exiled soldiers on the battlefield naturally felt the blessing of the golden tree, and those who were more excited than them were the mountain demon knights holding high the golden swords.

The Troll Knights held one hand in front of themselves and always charged at the forefront of the Allied forces.They ignored the enemy's arrows and sporadic attack spells, and tore apart the enemy ground troops trying to form a battle formation into pieces.

At this point, except for some of the die-hard troops of General Lu Si'en, the rest of the troops in Pulin City began to surrender or run away.

The golden blessing continues to cover. If Pulin City is compared to a human body, then the blessing of the golden tree is like the golden blood spreading in the blood vessels, filling Pulin City from the transfer point set up in Xicheng District. Every street corner.

In the end, the golden blessing climbed from the ground to the sky, gradually condensing into the shadow of the golden tree, emitting a constantly rhythmic golden light, reflecting in the eyes of every living creature in Pulin City.

The light was so dazzling that even the brilliance of the sun hanging high in the sky was obscured.

After the shadow of the golden tree was formed, the souls of the soldiers who died in Pling City and the souls of civilians who unfortunately lost their lives were involuntarily attracted to the golden tree, causing the system interface in Roland's mind to beat crazily with the measurement numbers showing the ether.

Soon the crazy growth of Golden Tree Ether stopped at 122980, and then began to grow slowly.

Among the 12 ethers, apart from the contributions from the Allied Forces and the Pulin City defenders, there were even more residents who unfortunately died in the war.

General Lu Si'en, who had died in the dragon's flames, did not order the residents in the civilian area to evacuate to a safe location in the center of the city, but just let them stay in their homes.

The residents of Pulin City near the Golden Dynasty camp were undoubtedly lucky, but many more residents had no idea which countries were attacking their homes, and their heads were chopped off by soldiers who broke into their homes.

Roland also knew that soldiers from other countries were different from his own soldiers.Since the soldiers of the Golden Dynasty were very devout in their belief in the Golden Tree and the treatment given to them by Roland was very good, they did not need to vent their desires on the residents of Pulin City like soldiers from other countries did.

Just like the soldiers of the Gunther Kingdom, they had neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm, and they were completely driven by their general's desire to claim that they could loot at will after breaking the city.

If it weren't for those Troll Knights under Roland's command that allowed Gunther's soldiers to still have some sense to know that they really couldn't defeat them, otherwise the residents hiding near the Golden Dynasty camp would have been enough to make them turn against Roland's soldiers. The swords faced each other.

But Roland would not be so naive as the leader of the alliance and order the general of Gunther to stop the behavior of his soldiers.

The fat noble obviously looked down upon him. He would definitely not obey the order given in the name of the leader of the alliance, and it would even make Gunther's army uncooperative in the next battle.Although Roland didn't know where he got the courage, there are always some people in the world who are as arrogant as the fat noble.

Moreover, his main purpose is to capture Pulin City. For the residents of Pulin City, no matter how much help they provide, they cannot change the fact that they are the intruder and the enemy who destroyed their homeland.To rescue the people can only be done after the war. To do it during the war is to be irresponsible to the soldiers under your command.

Roland was in the lounge and spent 10 ether points to summon Neferi Lu without thinking.

Under the gaze of all the creatures in Pulin City, the golden tree became extremely bright, but at the same time, the shadowy trunk was also entangled in the storm of silver-gray airflow.

The homeless knights and exiled soldiers who noticed the phantom vision looked excited, and they had already guessed what happened.

On Roland's side, a storm that was even more violent than when he summoned the Homeless Knights sounded in the house with the cry of eagles. However, this storm seemed to be conscious and quickly calmed down, obediently following the guidance of the golden tree and forming a path in front of Roland. A humanoid light group composed of blessings.

"This is really what Mr. Bernard said, you have found a new world." A calm and sassy female voice came from the mouth of the light group. As the golden light dissipated, Nephili Lu appeared in Roland before.

She has bronzed skin and wears a savage warrior costume. She has eight tight abdominal muscles on her exposed abdomen and two storm axes at her waist.

"We haven't seen you for a long time, Roland. Perhaps I should call you His Majesty the King of Elden?" Stonewell's new king's face was full of joy at being reunited with his friends. The female warrior from the wild land generously came up to hug Roland and hugged him. He raised and put it down, then frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something, he patted Roland on the shoulder and said, "Why did the power in you disappear? No, it didn't disappear, but it was sealed. I can feel Elden The dharma ring is on your body, what’s going on?”

From the mouths of Yakir and Melina, Roland had long known that he had the Elden Ring hidden in his body.So Nephili Lu's words did not surprise Roland. He just shrugged and said, "It's still a bit troublesome to explain. Let's just consider it as the price for me to travel to this new world."

Neferi Lu nodded slowly, and then showed a hearty smile: "It doesn't matter, no matter whether you are as powerful as before, warrior Neferi Lu will always be your friend."

"It won't always be like this. I speculate that if Greg is summoned, the big runes contained in him should relieve part of my strength." Roland expressed his speculation: "As the leader of Elden, I can’t rely on my friends for the rest of my life, can I?”

Neferi Lu nodded: "Well, that's right. If your strength cannot be restored, I'm afraid there will be many people who are eager to take the position of King of Elden and challenge you one after another. At least the first King of Elden, Godfrey I won’t let you go so easily.”

Roland showed a toothache expression. Based on Godfrey's performance in the game, he might really challenge himself as Nephili Lu said.Even if he summons all the demigods and gathers all the big runes to restore his strength, Godfrey will definitely challenge his position.

Looking at the expression on Roland's face, Nephili Lu comforted her: "If Godfrey really comes to challenge you, I will still stand by your side and fight alongside you."

Then the new Storm King looked out the window of the lounge and said, "There seems to be a war going on where you summoned me. Did you summon me because you need my power?"

Roland nodded, and then quickly explained the general overview of Pling City to Neferi Lu, who had just been summoned and didn't know anything.

After learning about it, Neferie Lu said to Roland: "I have understood the general situation. What are you going to do with Pulin City? You are now a subsidiary alliance of the Holy Empire of France, and you will attack and occupy it together with other subsidiary countries. The city theoretically belongs to the Holy Empire of France."

Roland replied without hesitation: "Of course it is for myself. The reason why I swallowed my anger and signed an alliance with the Holy Empire of France was because my side was not strong enough. Now that you are here, plus Stonewell City, I can take advantage of it at any time." If you call me from anywhere, I will have the capital to compete with the Holy Empire of France. The city of Pulin is located on the main transportation route in the Charles Empire, and there are many merchants coming and going. If you manage it carefully, you can make a lot of profits. Frans It is impossible for the Holy Empire to take it away from me."

"I also guessed that you would answer like this." Neferi Lu patted Roland's shoulder again: "I will turn into your wings waving the storm, and use my power to your heart's content."

Chapter 97: Stealing people!

"Mom, look, there are many eagles in the sky."

On the street near the Golden Dynasty camp, a little boy about seven or eight years old was in the warm embrace of his mother, pointing curiously to the sky.

The mother holding the little boy was looking warily at the exiled soldiers who were patrolling back and forth. After hearing the child's words, she looked in the direction pointed by her child and found countless large eagles with their gray eyes open. The wings took off from the camp of the Golden Dynasty.

Before the mother could see the big eagle clearly, she heard the panicked screams from the neighbors who had come to seek refuge together.

The unique low-pitched snoring of wild beasts sounded, and the mother was horrified to discover that at some point three huge black lions jumped from the tightly guarded Golden Dynasty camp onto the street, baring their ferocious fangs at the crowd.Moreover, there were several silver chains wrapped around the body of the black lion. Looking along the chains, we discovered that there were sharp, bloody machetes tied to the lion's two thick front paws.

"These people are not enemies, let's go." Neferi Lu walked out from behind the lion. She patted the strong rear of the lion guard in the middle and said.

The three lion guards became well-behaved after hearing Neferi Lu's voice. These big cats happily rubbed their heads with silver manes against Neferi Lu.The limbs at the middle end were slightly bent, and Neferi Lu turned over and sat on it. Then the Lion Guard on her body straightened up its limbs, let out an excited roar, and ran towards the battlefield with Neferi Lu.

The gate of the camp was also opened, and more exiled soldiers who had just been summoned followed their new king to the battlefield.

The Storm Eagles, which had been circling and soaring, screamed and flapped their wings high in the sky to follow Neferi Lu.

After Roland summoned Neferi Lu, he spent 4500 points of the remaining ether to summon three lion guards, and another 5000 points to summon 100 war eagles.Then all the remaining ether points were used to summon the exiled soldiers, but only 200 could be summoned.Although the quantity is small, it can temporarily solve the urgent need.

After the silver-armored soldiers wearing dark red shawls left, a group of gold and emerald-green troops once again walked out of the Golden Dynasty's camp, led by the majestic knight in golden armor.

In the eyes of the residents who were taking refuge in Pling City, the knight in golden armor rode directly in front of them and said loudly: "We are the army directly under Lord Roland of the Golden Dynasty. Under Lord Roland's order, we are here to take you to take refuge in Leiden City. . However, our country’s teleportation array has some minor flaws, and looking directly at it will damage your vision. So for the sake of your eyes, please cooperate in wearing a hood and follow the soldiers’ guidance to step onto the teleportation array.”

"Please don't worry, you can go with people you know well. If there are still things at home that have not been moved yet, please inform these soldiers with the tree and beast emblems tattooed on their armor, and they will help you."

This knight in golden armor is none other than [Big Tree Guard] Fernandi. After helping Neferi Lu summon the Storm Eagle and Lion Guard, Roland immediately returned to Moren City through the blessing teleportation point and asked the Big Tree Guard to He led the royal army that had been lowered from the city wall and abducted the residents of Pling City who had taken refuge in Leiden City.

You must know that this is a great opportunity to increase your city's population base.Roland has always been troubled by the number of residents in his territory. Even Moren City is not full yet, let alone Leiden City, which is almost the same size as Pling City.

Roland originally wanted to deal with the remaining soldiers in the East and Nancheng districts of Puling City, and then go to appease the civilians who had suffered unreasonable disasters.But he suddenly thought that if the siege battle was completely over, then he would have no reason to stop Gunther soldiers from massacring and looting the city. Even the Allied forces from other countries would definitely react after seeing the actions of Gunther soldiers. Follow suit.In this case, it is doubtful whether the nearly 30 to [-] people in Pulin City can survive. After all, the Holy Empire of France has not said that it wants these civilians to live.

Since these residents are waiting to die in the city anyway, it is better to bring these civilians back to their own territory.

One is because Roland really can't bear to see such a heartless act of massacring a city. He understands that this is a way for other generals to boost their morale, but it doesn't mean that he will just sit back and watch this happen.

The second is that these civilians are ready-made labor and productivity. Those short-sighted Allied generals who only allow their soldiers to burn, kill, and plunder have no idea what population represents in this era.

If Roland digests all the civilians in Pling City, then his logistics will be more worry-free, and Kenneth Hyde will no longer cry to himself with a sad face every day about not having enough manpower.

So Roland quickly teleported to Leiden City with the big tree guards. After finding Kenneth Hyde who was very busy, he explained his plan to him and asked him to prepare for a large number of Plings in Leiden City. Preparations for city dwellers.

Kenneth Hyde beamed with joy after hearing the news. He said that he had recently cleaned up a batch of urban areas contaminated by the undead natural disaster, and he begged Roland to take as much as he could.

"Sir Roland, you don't know how fast Leiden City has developed after it was opened to the outside world. Now there is a shortage of manpower everywhere." Kenneth Hyde breathed a sigh of relief: "With so many civilians you have brought, Coupled with the preferential policies of our Golden Dynasty, I am very confident that Leiden City will become a prosperous big city."

Roland patted Kenneth Hyde on the shoulder to encourage him. After not seeing him for a few days, he obviously felt that he had lost a little weight, but he still looked good.

Before leading the King's Army back to Pulin City through the Blessing Teleportation Point, Roland turned back to Kenneth Hyde and said: "This time I summoned an old friend from the border area, who is also very familiar to you. Don’t be too surprised then.”

Then, without waiting for Kenneth Hyde to ask who it was, Roland, together with the big tree guards and the king's army behind him, turned into golden light and disappeared.

So now there is the scene where the big tree guard shouted to these residents.

Some of the residents of Pling City who were hiding from the massacre by Gunther soldiers on the streets saw that the attitude of the big tree guard was quite gentle, so they boldly asked: "What if we don't want to go to Leiden City? We have lived here for so long. , for us to abandon our hometown and go to the distant city of Leiden, it is really difficult to let go emotionally."

The guard of the big tree noted down the resident who was hiding among the crowd and spoke out, then looked at the other residents who looked moved and said: "I will only remind you of two things. First, although Pulin City has been captured by Lord Roland, Come down, but it does not mean that you are safe. Only the kind Lord Roland will let his army protect you civilians who are taking refuge. Then when Lord Roland leads our army back to the court, you will have to face the other allies on your own. Soldiers. Think carefully about what you came here to seek refuge from. Secondly, I believe that everyone who has lived here for many years should know better than me about the location of Pulin City. Now France The Holy Empire and the Charles Empire have officially launched a decisive battle. Pulin City, which is located on the main transportation road, must be a battleground for the military strategists of the two huge empires. You will be reminded all the time to live in fear of war and worry about your own house. Will we be crushed by trebuchets tomorrow or will we be forced in by soldiers?"

"And the city of Leiden that Lord Roland arranged for you to go to has been successfully rebuilt, and the geographical location of Leiden City will not be the best choice for an army attack in any case. You can avoid the war by settling in Leiden City. Live and work in peace and contentment. If you are willing to live in the war-torn Pulin City in the future, we will not dissuade you. But if you are willing to join Lord Roland's golden dynasty, clean housing and hot food are waiting for you."

Then the big tree guard raised his finger and pointed at the majestic golden tree in the sky and said: "I think you all experienced the relaxing feeling after the blessings of our golden dynasty entered the body, right? This is every one of us golden All the people of the dynasty can enjoy this gift for free. There is no need to donate the money you have earned through hard work, you only need to be pious in your faith, and the blessings of the golden tree will be given to everyone equally, freeing you from the troubles of disease."

"Otherwise, after we leave, only death and suffering will accompany you. Can you still count on the soldiers of the Charles Empire to protect you?" The guard of the big tree put down his hand and said disdainfully: "Think about it carefully. If they really will protect you, why didn't your supreme ruler in Pulin City evacuate you to a safe place in the center of the city before the siege began? The purpose is to let you attract the attention of soldiers from other countries and use you lives to delay their attack."

"And do you think it will be safe if you run to the center of the city? Naive! Lord Roland just accepted a Lulan Chamber of Commerce businessman who fled from the center of the city not long ago. He said that the defenders of Pulin City began to occupy the city under the order of General Lu Si'en. The houses of those who have no aristocratic status. He also saw that his neighbors were killed by the soldiers of Pulin City after just protesting a few times. Even if this fact is in front of you, you still believe in the power of the Charles Empire Will soldiers protect you civilians?"

The civilian's voice sounded again: "What you say sounds nice, but who knows what it will be like after arriving in Leiden City. Everyone, calm down, let's not be fooled."

Now the guard of the big tree could 100% confirm that this person should be a spy who was arranged to come in to cause trouble. He pointed the golden halberd in his hand at the hiding resident and ordered: "Please come out of this person who has been talking. , please come to me if anyone stops you. I should also get to know this kind of good person who cares very much about the lives of others."

The two Knight Commanders of Grayk followed the orders of the big tree guards and walked over. Others in front of the resident quickly got out of the way, fearing that they would be misunderstood.

The resident still wanted to struggle to escape, but was immediately subdued by Knight Commander Greg and brought him to the guard of the big tree.

The spy who had infiltrated the civilian population of Pulin City swallowed his saliva and watched as he was getting closer and closer to the big tree guard. He rolled his eyes and was about to open his mouth to shout, but the knight on the left, Grek, with his sharp eyes and hands, quickly put his mouth in his mouth. With a rag stuffed in it, it could only make a "wow, ow, ow" sound.

The guard of the big tree looked at the spy and said coldly: "If you want to stay, stay by yourself. Don't replace others. Lord Roland once told me that guys like you who like to incite others' emotions are very dirty." If you see any scum, kill them immediately."

Under the panicked eyes of the spy, the guard of the big tree paused and said, "But enough blood has been left today. You said that you have deep feelings for Pulin City and don't want to leave. Okay, then I will ask you to leave here." A street protected by a golden dynasty."

After saying that, the big tree guard waved his hand: "Drive him out without harming his life."

Then he looked at the other residents who were taking refuge and said: "Is there anyone else who wants to stay in Pulin City like him? If so, please leave here immediately. Of course, we will escort you back to your home. But we will not be responsible for your personal safety after that.”

The other residents who took refuge were not stupid. After carefully thinking about what the big tree guard said, they could naturally tell whose words they believed in order to survive.

"Such as...if I believe in the Golden Tree, will the blessings really come to me equally?" A weak voice sounded, and the guard of the big tree called out. It was a young man with a sickly flushed face. .There were friends beside him who kept tugging on his sleeves to keep him quiet.

But the young man who was suffering from the disease ignored the dissuasion of his companions. Instead, he came out from the crowd and looked at the big tree guard with burning eyes and asked: "Even if I believe in the golden tree of your golden dynasty, it is just to heal myself." Illness, will it also bestow favor on me?”

He had experienced the feeling of the golden blessing entering his body just now, the pain disappeared and his limbs became light.But after the blessing left his body, the pain returned again and his limbs began to become weak. This young man, who had been troubled by physical illnesses for a long time, wanted to experience the previous feeling again no matter what.

It was precisely because he had experienced it that he was particularly eager.

The big tree guard nodded: "Of course, the Golden Tree never asks you what the purpose of believing in it is. It only cares about whether you will betray the oath you made when you believed in it."

After hearing this, the sick young man immediately clasped his hands on his chest and muttered something.
