Carry the Ring of Elden with you

The shadow of the golden tree high in the sky of Pulin City seemed to have heard the call of a new believer. Following the prayer, a ray of golden blessing fell and blended into the body of the young man.

The young man opened his eyes excitedly and felt his body returning to health. He couldn't help shouting: "This is what it feels like! It's grace, and grace has indeed entered my body."

The guard of the big tree pointed at the excited young man, and then said: "You happened to have seen it too, don't you still believe in our Golden Dynasty?"

Seeing that the residents who were taking refuge no longer resisted as before, the guard of the big tree said: "Since everyone has agreed, then bring your own things and follow the soldiers to Leiden City as soon as possible. In addition, I need two or three people to fight against Pulin City. A very familiar guide, in addition to protecting you, we also have residents in other places that we want to escort."

Chapter 98: Determination of candidates for subsequent summons

The young man whose body was healed by the blessing of gold volunteered after hearing the words of the big tree guard: "I am relatively familiar with Dongcheng District because I often went there for medical treatment before."

After several more residents who had taken refuge raised their hands, the big tree guard waved and asked Knight Commander Greg to lead the King's Army in their respective teams to follow these people to other cities to persuade the residents of Pulin City to relocate and transfer them. Bring it back to Leiden City.

As for Pulin City itself, Roland wants to build it into a military city because its geographical location is too special.

During peacetime, Roland would definitely build it into a prosperous commercial city, but doing so in such a time of war is undoubtedly a foolish approach.But if it is used as a military fortress, it can not only be the front line to resist the attack of the Charles Empire from the south, but also serve as a thorn stuck in the throat of the Holy Empire of France, making the Holy Empire of France an enemy. It's time to weigh it up.

Counting Pulin City, it can be seen from the map that the Charles Empire was originally occupied by the Golden Dynasty at the junction of the western border and the Holy Empire of France.Although the current territory of the Golden Dynasty only has three cities and one military fortress, which looks like a small country in terms of scale, Roland still has the complete Stonewell City in his hands that has not been summoned.

The city of Morn in the game can accommodate a population of nearly [-] in real life, covering a very huge area.Then the area summoned by Stonewell City, which is more majestic and towering than Morn City, must be much wider than Morn City.

After summoning it, the Golden Dynasty has become a medium-sized country, at least in terms of land and territory.

Not to mention that there are many non-city-type living gathering places in Ningmugefu and the Weeping Peninsula that have not been summoned. For example, in Nimgofu Shuihuan Village, the village south of Yakir Lake, when you first met Teacher Serian The inn, as well as the sick villages and demihuman gathering villages on the Weeping Peninsula.

Roland still remembered that from the game map, these living gathering places called villages were only a little smaller than Moen City. Perhaps when he summoned them, they should be a town that could accommodate 3 to [-] people.

When all these are summoned, the land area of ​​the Golden Dynasty can basically be said to be at the level of a first-class country on the Salid Road.

Of course, it was still a little worse than the Holy Empire of France and the Empire of Charles.

However, Roland himself also had to weigh the dangers caused by summoning the Water Calling Village and the Disease Village.

The situation in Shuihuan Village is relatively easy to deal with. This village is only occupied by dead people who cannot return to the tree correctly.Roland doesn't know if those dead ones are part of the Water Calling Village. If they are summoned, he still has [Death Sleeping Girl] Feiya on his side who can help arrange and deal with these dead ones.

Anyway, these poor dead people are all people who cannot return to the tree correctly, so Roland can just let the golden tree he planted accept them.

But the sick village is different.In the game, all the enemies in the Sick Village were eroded by epileptic fire. Roland was a little worried even if he just summoned the building complex.After all, you have to be careful with things related to epilepsy, such as [Bloodfinger Hunter] Yura and Edgar's daughter Irena. The game has not yet made it clear how the two of them were affected. The followers of the god of epileptic fire are parasitized.

Before he could figure out this matter, Roland had no plans to summon the sick village for the time being.He is still very afraid of weird foreign gods like Epilepsy in the border area. If he has the leisure to summon the sick village, he might as well summon more underground caves and tombs.Underground caves can produce plants used to make props, and catacombs can also produce cemetery lily of the valley that strengthens soul ashes.

Roland had a hunch that the cemetery lily of the valley might be fatally attractive to the undead in this world.

Speaking of strengthening soul ashes, Roland happened to think of the optional task he completed after summoning Neferi Lu.

Roland's speech to the Homeless Knights and Exiled Soldiers before the siege caused the system to award him the fifth optional task [When the host summoned Neferi Lu, the Homeless Knight "Oleg" , "Ingwill" can be unlocked] and it has been completed.

The description of the lost knight "Oreg" in the game text is: In the past, he was known as one of the wings of the Storm King.Then he was selected by the Blessed King... and hunted countless traitors, so he was rewarded and was able to return home as a hero.

It is not difficult to see that Oleg surrendered to the Golden Tree forces in the border area after the defeat of the Storm King. As for the "traitors" in the text, they should refer to the other demigod armies that attacked the royal city of Rodel after the ring of magic was broken.Because we all know that the [Blessed King] is actually Mengt. As one of the demigods most loyal to the Golden Tree, the so-called traitors in his mouth must refer to these demigods and their followers who have evil intentions against the Golden Tree. .

It's just that when Oleg's life is coming to an end, he may still not be able to fully regard himself as a member of the Golden Tree force.So he did not choose to die at the Aresa Heroes Cemetery near King Rodel. Instead, he returned to his hometown of Nimgofu and chose to sleep in the Border Heroes Cemetery.

Of course, Roland guessed that it was also possible that Menggert felt that Oleg's identity and honor were not enough to support him. A surrendered knight was buried in the Heroes' Cemetery and Vice Cemetery in Aresa.

In the game, players can obtain the Big Tree Guard Set in the Heroes of Aresa Cemetery and the Furnace Knight Set after defeating the BOSS Double Furnace. You can imagine the bones of great figures buried in the Heroes of Aresa Cemetery.

It's just that Mengt's character doesn't seem to be the kind of person who depends on his status. He himself is a bad omen of being hated but he still chooses to love the golden tree.So Roland still felt that it was Oleg who chose to return to his homeland to sleep and return to his tree.

Oleg's performance in the game is not bad either. After all, he is a macho man who kills monsters all the way with his double Homeless Knight swords. His health bar is also very thick. Many players loved him in the early stage before they obtained the Simulated Teardrop.

Another lost knight, "Ingwill", was obtained in Mengliu Underground Cemetery.This lost knight did not exist when the game was first released, but his ashes were added in a subsequent hot patch update. As long as the player clears the Mengliu Underground Cemetery, it will automatically appear in the backpack.

Theoretically speaking, Ingwill is the easiest named special ashes to obtain in the early stage. He uses the weapon module of the Lost Knight's Halberd and has a high desire to attack.Nowadays, many guides will mention that if you start your spell, you must get the ashes of "Ingwill", because his extremely high desire to attack will allow him to steadily attract the hatred of the BOSS, thus giving mage players a better chance. time to release spell output.

After all, to get Oleg's ashes, you need to pass through the dump truck in the Border Heroes Cemetery (all faded people must know how "friendly" the dump truck is), and then defeat the BOSS named "Corrupted Tree Spirit". can be obtained.Compared with the Border Heroes Cemetery, the difficulty of the Mengliu Underground Cemetery can only be said to be the same as that of Fat Orange and Northeastern Golden Gradient.

In terms of plot, Ingwell can be said to be a heroic example of defending a lonely city.Unlike Oleg who accepted the invitation from the Blessed King, Ingwill refused the invitation from the Blessed King and spent countless hours guarding the kingless city──and later became a hero on the border.

If there is anyone who is most looking forward to welcoming a new Storm King in Stonewell City, then it is undoubtedly Ingwill.

The amount of ether required to summon Oleg and Ingwell is also exaggerated. It actually requires 15000 ether points, which is a full 5000 ether points more than the tree guard.However, considering that these two Homeless Knights are called the wings of the Storm King and are the bosses among the Homeless Knights, the price of this ether is reasonable.

Roland was in the lounge in the Golden Dynasty camp, immersed in the system interface, and became entangled as he watched the ether rise to 27650 again.

He now has too many powerful people from the border area who need to be summoned, whether it is [Knight] Bernal, [Evil Omen Demon] Malkit, [Golden King] Greg, or they have been unlocked in the Moren City Defense Battle. [Half-Wolf] Blaze.No matter which one of these four comes out, it will bring Roland a great sense of security.

Moreover, there is a furnace knight patrolling near the lower hanging board in Stonewell City, and there is also a furnace knight in the prison outside the city.Roland has never forgotten these two people. Who knows whether Stonewell City will be unlocked after summoning it.

Although the Furnace Knight has a weak rebound, that's in the game, and even if you know it, you need to go through a lot of deaths to be able to rebound skillfully.No matter where the Crucible Knight is in the game, as long as he stands there, the player's heart will thump.

Not to mention his status in the plot. As the personal knight of the first generation King of Elden, Godfrey, who knows how much ether is needed to summon him after unlocking it.

As for [Golden King], after Grik was unlocked, Roland took a look and found that the ether required to summon him was only 5 points, which was half of Neferi Lu, but Roland was not surprised at all.

After all, how can I put it...Grek's weakness is well-known in Nimgofu.

In the game, each map will have a special sword monument erected to tell players what happened here.Other sword monuments were engraved with either epic and tragic battles, but when it came to Grek, they fought "Mikaela's Blade" and were defeated like a mountain.He fell to his knees and begged for his life. 】

In the game, even Kenneth Hyde himself couldn't hold back. He complained to his nominal king, and even said that he escaped disaster by licking Marlenia's feet.

Of course, many faded people will ask enviously when they hear Greg licking Marlenia's feet: Why should he be rewarded?

Roland could only express: respect, understanding, and blessing.

But even so, Greg is still a demigod with golden blood.Roland summoned him because he needed him to intimidate other countries with demigods so that they would not dare to act rashly.Roland thought that Greg's bloodline was just weak. If he had a golden tree in his hand and instilled a lot of blessings into Greg, he might be transformed.Secondly, Greg himself is a die-hard fan of the Golden Tree, so summoning him will definitely be beneficial and harmless.

Greg's life experience can only be described as very tragic. He was born in the royal family of the Golden Tree, and in an era where strength was king, everyone had expectations for him.However, with his thin blood, he was unable to respond to everyone's expectations. Then, after the Broken War broke out, he escaped from the royal city disguised as a woman for unknown reasons. After coming to Nimgofu, he thought about returning to his hometown of Rodel all the time. In the end, because his power was too Being too weak drives oneself crazy and embarks on the terrifying path of limb replacement.

If possible, Roland would prefer to summon the delicate young man who has not yet received the limbs, rather than the hideous and old [limbs].

Perhaps after summoning him, he should provide psychological counseling to Greg so that he would not have to be so stressed.

Just as Roland was slowly thinking about how to reasonably allocate his ether, he suddenly thought of a question and quickly asked the system: "I remember that I have summoned the Homeless Knight to the upper limit. Then I can still summon the Arcane Knight to the upper limit." Are Reg and Ingwill summoned?”

The system replied: [Of course.Oleg and Ingwill are souls who have returned to the tree, and are special ashes among the game items.And although the lost knight you summoned now is unconscious in the border area due to the impact of the broken magic ring, he is still alive after all, which is different from the wings of the Storm King who have passed away. 】

Roland suddenly realized: "That's why you reminded me that to summon Oleg and Ingwill, I need to summon them near the golden tree itself, so that the golden tree can give them new bodies to resurrect. Essentially, what I unlocked is the one with their souls." Ashes instead of a lost knight?”

[Host, I am deeply gratified that you are so understanding. 】The system has a tone of "You finally figured it out."

Roland ignored what the system said and decided not to rush to summon Oleg and Ingwell for the time being.Judging from the current situation, he should summon Greg over after accumulating ether, and then summon Bernal over.

The reason why Malkit was not chosen second was because Greg had already been summoned, and the [-] ether required by Malkit was too expensive for Roland, who had just summoned Neferi Lu.

In addition to his quasi-king-level combat prowess, Bernal was summoned for his combat skills.In the early stages of the game, Bernal appeared as a combat skills teacher and really provided players with a lot of help.

So Roland thought that after summoning Bernal and letting him serve as a combat skills teacher at the Moren City School, it was time for the local soldiers who were devout in their faith in the golden tree to improve their combat abilities.

Chapter 99: Neferi, the innocent warrior

Neferi Rue rides on the back of the Lion Guard.Although there is no saddle chair, the King of Storms still sits firmly on it.She led the homeless knights and exiled soldiers who followed behind her, as well as the eagles flying above her head, to hunt down the direct descendants of General Lu Sien who had surrendered not far from the city.

The siege of Pulin City was coming to an end. Most of the Pulin City defenders dropped their weapons and chose to surrender to the Allied Forces of the Holy Empire of France.Currently, only the direct troops of General Lu Si'en are left in the city, still fighting stubbornly in the Nancheng District.

A heavily armed elite cavalry team of about 100 people covered a carriage in the middle and galloped towards the south city gate.

The soldiers of the Gunther Kingdom pursued the elite cavalry and shouted to each other: "The people in the car are the family members of Lu Si'en, the lord of Pulin City. Stop them and snatch them away to sacrifice to their lord. Let's do this." Sent!"

However, although Gunther's soldiers said so, they had actually suffered a lot of casualties in the process of chasing them.

However, this elite cavalry team responsible for escorting Lu Si'en's family also lost some people in this chase. Lu Si'en's wife was sitting in the bumpy carriage carriage with her daughter, his son Hawthorn's wife and children.

The appearance of Lu Si'en's wife seemed to have aged by more than ten years when her husband died. She held her grandson in her arms and showed a reassuring expression, and then looked at the window covered by the curtains in the north with concern.

In the carriage compartment, opposite the Lu Si'en family members, sat a young warrior with a bright spirit.

Seeing Lu Si'en's wife's actions, the young warrior said calmly, "Don't worry, madam. I will follow Master Hawthorne's instructions and send you to the capital in good health, even if it means sacrificing your life."

The warrior wore a black, close-fitting armor, and an unsheathed sword was placed across his knees. One hand gently held the hilt of the sword. There was an ugly brand mark on his forehead, which represented the domestic slave. The mark is a dead soldier who exchanges his lifespan for powerful force. Such a person can only live to 24 years old.

The young warrior listened to the sound of horse hooves outside the window and the sound of human bodies falling from horses from time to time, his face expressionless.

"Mom, where did dad go?" Hawthorne's innocent son poked his head out of his grandmother's arms and asked his mother beside him in a tender voice.

Hawthorn's wife took him from her mother-in-law into her arms, smiled warmly and made her voice less panicked: "Good boy, daddy is fighting with the uncles from the invading bad guys, waiting for us Dad will come over immediately after arriving in the capital. Isn’t it your birthday soon? Dad also asked someone to prepare a gift for you. When you arrive in the capital, mom will take you to see it, okay? Just be obedient and sleep in mom’s arms first. After a while, when the baby wakes up, the father will come to find the baby with gifts."

The child nodded happily, thinking this was just an ordinary trip.

Lu Si'en's daughter, who was already sensible and able to distinguish things clearly, closed her eyes with a pale face and prayed to her faith. How she wished she could hear the dragon roar belonging to Charles' empire in her ears now.

But she didn't hear the roar of the dragon. Instead, she heard the cry of an eagle that became louder and louder.

The Storm War Eagles were flying in the air, and naturally they had already discovered the convoy that had been fleeing towards the south city gate. One of them, a giant eagle that was larger than the other Storm War Eagles, flew down and appeared in front of Neferi. Flying at low altitude next to it made a few chirps.This is the war eagle that belongs exclusively to the Storm King, and is also the king of storm eagles.

After hearing her partner's cry, Neferi Lu nodded immediately: "I know, you led the Storm War Eagle to intercept that convoy, and I will arrive soon."

The Storm Eagle King let out a loud cry and flew back into the sky again, and then the entire Storm Eagle Legion imitated their king and made an eagle cry.Their wings would move faster, and even the storm was helping them fly, and they soon flew above the convoy.

"Where did so many eagles come from?" Lu Si En's direct soldiers outside the carriage made a confused voice.

But when they saw the shining blades embedded in the talons of the eagles, they showed horrified expressions.

"Hurry up and fire the arrow! That's not an eagle, that's the enemy's aerial war beast!!" Under the command of a commander, the soldiers skillfully took off their bows, bent their bows and nocked arrows, and aimed them diagonally upward at those who were getting closer and closer. The Storm Eagle loosened the tight bowstring.

The three storm war eagles that were sprinting downward were unable to dodge and were hit by sharp bows and arrows. They screamed and fell to the ground.

But more Storm War Eagles folded their wings to reduce air resistance, while keeping their balance with their tails facing the ground, and pounced on their chosen prey with lightning speed.

Eagles are the dominant species in the sky. Their diving speed can reach 240 kilometers per hour, which means that it only takes a few seconds for eagles to reach the ground from an altitude of several hundred meters.

In other words, before Lu Si En's elite direct soldiers could take out the second arrow from the quiver, the storm war eagles let out a sharp scream and arrived above their heads within a few breaths.

They are like thunder and lightning, as fast as the wind, and their flying speed seems to tell the fragility and power of life.

The Storm Eagles, who have no weapons on their talons, open their curved and hard claws, which is as powerful as pulling out a beautiful and sharp weapon.The eagle claws can catch any targeted prey within one second. They grab onto the shoulder armor of Lu Si En's direct soldiers and quickly take them to high altitudes and then drop them at will, allowing these soldiers to fall to the ground in a free-falling motion. , the armor on their bodies became their tombs.

Some Storm Eagles did not choose to do this, but relaxed their wings and tails, re-opened their wings, flew on the faces of these soldiers, and killed them with their sharp talons and beaks, spurting out blood. The white feathers of the Storm Eagles were dyed red.

The Storm Eagles with claw-shaped swords inlaid with them are not as powerful as their companions without weapons on their claws, but the damage they cause is even more terrifying.

The sharp blades made of fine steel from the border area can accompany the speed of the storm war eagles as they sprint and fall. With just a slight stroke, they can cut through the armor on these soldiers and the strong bodies protected by the armor, and cut the soldiers apart. They cut into pieces as easily as cutting a cake.

The soldiers escorting the convoy were almost wiped out the moment the Storm War Eagle pounced. Even the war horses did not survive the attack of these sky overlords.The carriage, which had lost its driver and packhorse, overturned and fell to the ground. A sword aura directly opened the window door of the carriage. The figure of the young warrior flew out, and threw out several more sharp sword auras to kill several people surrounding the carriage. The Storm War Eagle beheaded and then said loudly: "Madams, please quickly hide in a nearby house and never come out!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the young warrior felt a darkness in front of him, then his neck felt cold and painful, and he lost consciousness.

The king of the Storm War Eagle killed this powerful young warrior. It didn't care about the blood spurting from the warrior's neck that was broken by its own claws. It just looked at those young warriors who had just been killed by the young warrior with regretful eyes. Killed Storm Eagle.

Then the movement in the carriage made the Eagle King freeze his eyes. It looked coldly at the woman who poked her head out of the carriage without any other movement.

That woman was Lu Si En's wife. The carriage had just overturned, which made her face red. Fortunately, the people in the carriage did not suffer any serious injuries. This was also due to the fact that the young warrior had just protected them. .

However, Lu Si'en's wife, who had just plucked up the courage to poke her head out to check the situation, was soon frightened to the point of speechlessness. Whoever came out and saw a group of giant eagles larger than herself staring at her fiercely would definitely not think that the other party was there. It was a friendly greeting to myself, more like checking which piece of meat on my body was more fragrant and easier to eat.

"Drive, drive! Where did the broken eagle come from! It's blocking the way of the brothers. Oh, boss, the carriage crashed!"

"Okay, God is really helping us. Please keep your hands and feet clean later. They are all the city lord's family members. If they are tied to our general, they can be exchanged for a lot of good things." The voice of Gunther's soldier sounded inappropriately. .

Dozens of soldiers from the Gunther Kingdom came here. Following the traces of the corpses of Lu Si En's direct soldiers on the street, they found this place surrounded by storm war eagles. They impatiently waved their weapons to drive away these war eagles that emerged.

Of course they knew that these war eagles were probably flying war beasts released by their own friendly forces, and were most likely the mysterious Golden Dynasty.But the great achievement was right in front of them, and they wanted to give it a try, just in case these storm war eagles couldn't understand human speech and make way for them.

If the Golden Dynasty asks, it will be their business how to explain it.After all, humans can speak, but eagles cannot.

Moreover, they have indeed paid a lot of sacrifices to chase this team, and they cannot give up easily.

However, the Storm War Eagles remained unmoved, clasping whatever they could grasp with their talons, and silently watching the Gunther soldiers in front of them brandish their weapons. There was even a hint of a fool in their eyes.

It would be better to say that Neferi Lu's Eagle King partner was already looking at these soldiers as if they were fools.

"If I were you, I would not provoke these proud overlords in the sky." Neferi Lu's voice sounded behind these Gunther soldiers. The Gunther soldiers who turned around saw three huge and ferocious heads. When the black lion roared toward him, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back and sat on the ground.

The coercion exuded by the female warrior from the wild land was too strong, and coupled with the intimidating appearance of the Lion Guard baring his teeth, Gunther's soldiers did not have to voluntarily make way for the Storm King.

"What are you going to do?" Although the captain of these Gunther soldiers was also intimidated by the aura exuded by Neferi Lu, he still asked bravely.

Neferi Lu jumped down from the Lion Guard, glanced at him and said: "Collect the bodies of these soldiers who fought bravely until the last moment. Although they are enemies, their performance deserves my respect."

When the captain heard this, he said happily: "Okay, then you go and sort out the bodies of these soldiers. The people in the carriage belong to me."

"Of course the prisoners in the carriage belong to my friend, Roland." Nephili Lu looked matter-of-factly, and then said in an impatient tone: "Look at the armor on your bodies, the massacres I saw in the city along the way All the evil deeds are caused by your colleagues. Get out of my sight before I unleash my anger on you."

"Roar!" The three lion guards on the side were very smart. When Neferi, Rushang and the others rolled away, they roared and threw themselves in front of the Gunther soldier captain, making him say "Oh~" in fright. He quickly retreated with his soldiers.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say a few harsh words: "It's the people from the Golden Dynasty who ruined our good deeds again! Remember this!"

However, under the threat of the homeless knights and exiled soldiers who followed Neferi Lou by banging their weapons, they fled faster.

"I will keep you in mind and make you pay for the massacre of the city." Neferi Lu took a deep look at the direction in which the Gunther soldiers fled, and said meaningfully.

Neferee Lu is different from most people. This female warrior from the borderland wilderness and the same hometown as Godfrey, the first King of Elden, will swing the ax in her hand at her enemies on the spot.

And along the way, the behavior of Gunther soldiers massacring the city that she saw happened to hit her own bottom line.If it hadn't been for the discovery of this convoy of the city lord's family members, Neferi Lu would have led her storm army to kill all those who massacred the city.
