The three ordinary adventurers who were only slightly outstanding originally were plunged into dire straits since tonight.
Leit continued to stay in the city-state of Fanet and developed a new "hobby". He would occasionally look for some story-telling books similar to "The Biography of Degoni", which might be other parts of this biography or other similar books.
Although Leit knew very well that the "Sword Saint" himself should be educating new disciples inside or outside the city, he was able to resist the urge to peek once because he was a man of credit. After all, the other party did not seem to want to reveal too much of the "skill inheritance" to outsiders that day.
This made Qin Xiaoxia somewhat distressed and surprised that a warrior who was so obsessed with improvement could actually endure such temptation.
Perhaps if it were someone else, he would speculate whether the person was restrained because he was afraid of being discovered by the "Sword Saint"'s powerful perception, but Qin Xiaoxia, who already had a certain understanding of Leyite, knew that Leyite was not like that.
Well, this is not important for the time being. Besides, given the Paladin's loyalty to the church and his piety to the Supreme God, he still needs to be tempered.
And these are ultimately a kind of insurance back-up plan, insurance against accidents. Although the main accident is likely to occur, it hasn't happened yet, so there is no need to be so anxious.
Anyway, Qin Xiaoxia has temporarily found a very good new source of fun, which is to torture, no, to educate his three cheap disciples from the Ridgetop people.
Putting aside the changes on this side, as time passed by neither fast nor slow, things that were enough to change the world were gradually fermenting in the Qinggele Empire.
…
At the edge of the forest outside Nolan City, Blantai, wearing a well-fitting armor, rode a camel horse and galloped with a large group of people.
In addition to the family's personal cavalry, he was also accompanied by his father Heno.
It had rained heavily a few days before, and the galloping horses' hooves splashed up a lot of mud and water.
"Pay attention to the formation, keep in long lines! Archers, get ready, they're coming soon!!"
Heno's loud voice exploded beside Blantai, making this biological son almost want to cover his ears.
All the soldiers controlled their camels and horses to run. They responded to Heno's order with practical actions. Nearly half of them took the bows and arrows from their backs and held them in their hands, while some spearmen had already taken out the long spears from the sides of the horses' backs and held them steadily.
If you have aerial photography equipment, or look down from a high altitude, you will find that on the two sides of the western side of the forest, two long dragon-like cavalry teams are converging around the outskirts of the forest.
Inside the forest, gongs and drums were beating loudly, and a large number of soldiers carrying metal utensils and weapons were advancing southward from one side in an extremely noisy and exaggerated manner.
Most of the animals and beasts in the forest were in a state of panic, running towards safety without knowing where to go.
To be precise, the cavalry outside the forest were like two flowing whips, driving the animals that wanted to escape from the gaps on one side back inside, forcing them to run in the direction they designed.
Heno kept a close eye on the movements in the forest, while on the other side of the cavalry there were also civilized people responsible for observation.
"Get ready!! It's Sharptooth and Clawmon and Mudmon! Archers, raise your bows and prepare to fire the whistling arrows!"
Well-trained cavalrymen put special arrows on the bowstrings and bent their bows.
"Ready...release!"
Brush, brush, brush...
Hundreds of special arrows were fired from the cavalry in the distance. The whistling arrows were only for scaring people and not for killing animals.
“Woo~~~Squeak~~~~~” “Woo~~~Squeak~~~~”…
The design of the whistle arrow is bundled with a circle of sharp whistle structure, which will produce an extremely sharp whistle when the arrow is flying at high speed, which is extremely harsh to any animal.
Normally, whistling arrows are used to convey orders in military formations during battles. A few whistling arrows can make a large section of the army hear the order clearly. At this time, hundreds of whistling arrows at the same time are very stimulating to the already timid beasts.
Coupled with the already noisy and terrifying wall of knights and the gleaming spear team, the instinct for survival made the animals subconsciously avoid the direction of the knights' column and flee forward in the hope of avoiding them and escaping from other places.
But in fact the procession itself followed the forward movement of the beasts, so it was like an alternative ping-pong paddle, scaring the waves of animals back into the woodland again and again, and moving forward in this tortuous way.
"Father!!! Great Rift Valley!!"
Blantai put down his bow and arrow and yelled at his father Heno on horseback. The latter turned his head and looked into the distance. The great rift where they had set up an ambush together with the Imperial Army to annihilate the Church's Demon Hunter Legion was not far away.
That is also the end of the journey, or the end of the animals' escape.
About ten minutes later, the left and right teams of cavalry stopped at the entrance of the Great Rift Valley, forming an alternative funnel shape.
Most of the fleeing animals ended up in the Great Rift Valley as expected.
Some soldiers on the Great Rift Valley saw animals pouring in like a tide, and commanders immediately waved flags.
Some strong soldiers immediately untied the ropes around them.
"rise!!"
“Hey, hoo!” “Hey, hoo!”…
Several soldiers held a long pole of hard wood together and inserted it between the prepared stones and wood, using the principle of leverage to pry open the prepared door trap.
“Boom…”
On both sides of the entrance to the Great Rift Valley, a large number of logs and stones rolled down from great heights, and the entrance was filled with smoke in just over a minute.
In addition, the other end of the rift valley had already been blocked by a long dam, and a large number of animals were now trapped in the long and narrow rift valley.
Twenty minutes later, Blantai and his father reached the top of the Great Rift Valley.
Below, at the entrance to the Great Rift Valley, many soldiers had already started a charcoal fire after calculating the wind direction, and then sprinkled a kind of herbal powder into the fire.
A thick yellowish smoke immediately began to spread from the vent, and thick, wet masks were tied around the mouths and noses of the surrounding soldiers.
The thick smoke produced by roasting this herbal powder has a strong knockout effect. Normally, it only takes a dozen minutes for the animals in the Great Rift Valley to fall into a coma.
Of course, perhaps many people will never wake up after falling down like this.
"Father...what does His Majesty the Emperor want to do? If he wants furs, there is no need to go through so much trouble."
Heno looked meaningfully at the howling beasts in the Great Rift Valley, and then looked at his son who was almost as tall as him.
"To be honest, I don't know either, but according to the information from our family's spies and friends in the imperial capital, it should be related to the sacrifice to the gods as stated in the emperor's order."
Heno watched the wild animals, big and small, fall down in the thick smoke, not knowing which ones were knocked unconscious and which ones were choked to death by the smoke.
"We need living beasts, and the more species the better. Although there are records of offering livestock to gods, this is not the way to do it..."
As time passed and the altar formation gradually took shape, the repressed emotions of Emperor Vogfu of the Qinggele Empire began to become increasingly difficult to control.
He had tried to be as cautious as possible before, but now, in order to catch up with the overall progress, he had not hesitated to frequently issue imperial decrees to ask capable ministers and nobles to help him collect materials.
