Chapter 267: The Gift of the Torch Goddess

The timing for the Frost Moon Kingdom to hold the Knights' Conference is quite appropriate.

When the Knights' Conference ended and a large number of knights came to the south with funding, the Anti-colonial Committee also received their assistance.

A legendary hero came to the Anti-Development Committee with his own army.

Sea monster cook, navigation pioneer, beast fighting champion - Alex Oroco, this legendary hero is the second prince of the Kingdom of Bollen. He personally defeated a giant sea monster in the water during a voyage, and the strait leading from the inland sea to the open sea was also discovered by him during his voyage.

He also owned a Colosseum in the Kingdom of Bollen, where he personally participated in beast fights and defeated various powerful monsters and beasts.

Alex's mount is an earth dragon and his weapon is a three-meter-long magic spear.

He is two and a half meters tall and weighs half a ton, like a little giant.

He doesn't look like an ordinary person.

His military command ability was not excellent, nor was he able to command the army and achieve remarkable feats like the Snow Fox Countess.

But on the battlefield he was always at the forefront leading the soldiers to charge, like a banner.

He only had to stand there to bring endless courage to the soldiers.

It is estimated that the Southern Kingdom has considered Rand's military command ability and sent a general to see if he can defeat the opponent with force.

In this world, apart from the "King", the strongest people are the top professionals.

Alex is just a top-level professional.

However, there will also be gaps in combat effectiveness between top professionals.

Professional restraint, or the difference in weapons and equipment.

For example, Olenna, who is now holding the Sword of Dawn, which has the ability to break magic, can theoretically easily kill a top-level wizard.

Alex's weapons and armor are not ordinary things.

Moreover, his abilities and his special physique can also bring about a significant increase in strength.

In short, the difference between him and ordinary top-level professionals is equivalent to the difference between the top-level minotaur professionals and the top-level human professionals.

Alex walked at the speed of a dragon and a tiger on the road to the Anti-Development Committee headquarters. The originally arrogant and domineering Burning Land bandits became like well-behaved children and saluted the little giant.

He walked into the meeting room. The original chairman had already sat aside, leaving the first seat free.

Taking into account the person's body size, the first seat has been enlarged and widened.

After Alex sat down, his dull voice echoed in the conference room: "Are you planning to cooperate with the bandits in the Burning Land?"

The chairman of the Anti-Development Committee replied: "Yes, sir, that's because..."

"Well done." Alex interrupted the chairman, "The Kingdom's support will be in place within a month. Be prepared. We will attack in a month."

Alex's plan was simple: to defeat the northern barbarians in one fell swoop before the autumn harvest, and then harvest the crops grown by the enemies.

In this way, perhaps we can make back some of the expenses incurred in this military expedition.

After the meeting, Alex's orders were passed on.

Originally the Anti-Development Committee was still somewhat worried, but when this legendary hero actually appeared before them, they instantly felt relieved.

It was clear that nothing could stand up to this hero.

…

Rand led his guards to destroy the undead in the territory.

The marching route of the undead army does not pass through Rand's territory, and the number of these scattered undead is not large.

But the threat is still significant.

Because there are always some who are irrational but very powerful.

For example, an aggregate of flesh and blood, often called flesh and blood hatred, or some skeletons and zombies emitting green light.

And ghosts that are difficult to be effectively attacked by physical attacks.

The dung forks of ordinary villagers have no effect on these monsters.

Rand commanded the Guards to charge.

The riding skills of his magic steel plate armor guards have now reached a certain level, although they are still not as good as those of units like the White King's Guards and the Torch Paladins.

But the basic charge can be done easily.

Moreover, they have also received an epic enhancement, that is, their mounts have been replaced with cows and horses!

Cattle and horses can fight against other sects, and their qualities in all aspects are even better than those of high-quality war horses.

Perhaps the only drawback is that it eats a lot, but compared to the capabilities of this mount, this drawback is nothing.

Now the cattle, horses and knights are still in the process of running in, and bringing them out to deal with the undead this time is also meant to train them.

"Charge forward," Rand ordered lazily.

The guards then charged at the undead.

Karin, who had been planning to help, was "watching" the scene from the side.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In her perception, these guards did not use any special powers. They just waved their weapons and the undead would be severely damaged or directly destroyed.

Karin knew about this when she eavesdropped on the conversation between Kahn, Fenris and Taner.

But facing such a scene in person still made her feel shaken.

From the moment she entered the Torch Church, she was taught that the Torch Church was sacred and the only orthodoxy.

The rest are cults.

The Torch Church's restraint towards these sects also proves this point.

But now it seems that it is just the mutual exclusion between the powers of the gods.

Perhaps all sects are similar, and perhaps the Torch Goddess is not necessarily so righteous? Sitting on the ox-horse mount, Karin twisted a few stones in her hands. Although she was shaken in her heart, she still paid attention to the battlefield.

If any undead launched a sneak attack on the royal guards, the stone in Karin's hand would shoot out.

The high temperature stones carrying divine power can easily shatter these twisted evil spirits.

"So, you want to prove that the power of the Torch Goddess is no different from the power of your God?" Karin asked in a low voice. She restrained herself from calling the Mother Goddess an evil god.

"No," Rand denied. "On the contrary, I think the Torch Goddess is special. Very special."

Karin had been prepared for Rand to quote classics and combine them with reality to belittle the Torch Goddess as worthless, but she did not expect to get such an answer.

"Why?"

"Her power may not be special, but the goddess is definitely very special." Rand said, "Although sects like the God of Struggle can please the God of Struggle by intensifying disputes, direct human sacrifice is also very common."

But the Torch Goddess can't do that.

“That’s one of the reasons why I’m willing to work with Torch Church.”

Rand specifically went to the altar of the Torch Church and recited the words of sacrifice.

After all, there is a Torch Church chapel in his territory. When he cooperated with Bishop Kahn, he generously expressed his willingness to assist in the construction of the church, and he had this in mind.

But it doesn't work.

The Torch Goddess does not accept living sacrifices.

The Torch Goddess only blesses those who use fire to cleanse evil.

Karin looked at Rand meaningfully. She had not expected that this cult leader who could control such a terrifying evil force would have such an evaluation of the Torch Goddess.

Karin ejected another stone, killing a ghost.
