Chapter 723 Troop Training! Training!
Although demons have not brought any harm to humans in the past nearly ten thousand years, it is known from the few rare occasions when warlocks accidentally summoned demons from the abyss that demons are definitely the life and death enemy of humans.
The devil is also very harmful, but at least it is much better than the devil.
The difference between the two sides can probably be described like this:
Devil: Are you corrupt? Master, just show me how corrupt you are. Oh, why are you so serious? Can you give me your soul? Today is the 5000th anniversary of my opening. I will give you a special treat after signing the contract~
Devil: Ha (kill), ha (kill), ha (kill) them all...
Well, that's right, compared to the devil, the devil is a retarded person who only knows killing and destruction.
According to the relevant records still left in Purandar, at least three major disasters in human history were caused by accidentally summoned demons.
Those three disasters, or the three world wars, affected the entire Purandar. Each time, the number of surface races in the entire world was reduced by one-third, and it took hundreds of years to recover.
The cause of those three disasters was also very simple, just because the devil was summoned and wanted to satisfy its own desire to kill.
These are only the ones that have been recorded, there are more disasters that have not been recorded, so as soon as he heard the news of the devil's appearance, Pope Jesolini XXIII took action immediately.
"Did they suddenly appear because there were warlocks there deliberately summoning them?"
Tang En was a little troubled by such evil enemies, because there was absolutely nothing to communicate with them.
"No, in fact, no trace of the summoning circle was found there."
The Pope shook his head and whispered: "Due to the boundary between the gods, there is a special barrier between purgatory and the surface to prevent devils and demons from crossing there. General power cannot directly cross at all, only specific summoning spells Or the power of the gods can penetrate that barrier."
"But the strange thing is that the people from the Mercenary Guild discovered a bottomless rift near there."
The Pope looked at Tang En meaningfully: "You know, half a year ago, there was a plain with nothing there. How could a rift valley suddenly appear?"
A flash of lightning flashed in Tang En's mind, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Damn it, it can’t be such a coincidence, right?
The Pope looked at him directly: "Some interesting news came from the surrender of Alexis. For example, Lord Tang En of Ellington stabbed him with a sword, and then the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked..."
Oh, you are really my fault! ?
Tang En was in a mess, and he couldn't pretend to be stupid now even if he wanted to.
How could I have thought that the sword I stabbed for show would actually poke out a big hole!
Originally, the gods had divided the territory of each race. Purgatory belonged to the devil (the devil had other reasons that will be explained later). In order to prevent mutual influence, a special protective layer was even set up in the earth's crust. Mortals The power cannot break through it at all.
But what a coincidence, the weapon Tang En used that day was the super buggy "World Will".
The power of the world's will probably tore that barrier apart, and nothing happened at first. But as time went by, some demons accidentally discovered the passage and got to the surface.
It is foreseeable that the longer the gap exists, the more devils and demons will discover this passage, and the more dangerous it will be nearby.
"His Majesty the Pope asked me to send troops to seal off the Great Rift Valley and search for traces of demons. But as you know, the current soldiers of the Illus Empire are simply not strong enough."
Alleria sighed and said: "They met the demon, and it was just a one-sided massacre. As for sealing the rift, it was also very troublesome. According to incomplete measurements, the rift was up to a hundred meters wide. It is more than 600 kilometers long and bottomless. The current bridge used for trade still relies on the power of wild mages to build it. With our current military strength, it is impossible to block the rift valley of more than 600 kilometers. "
Of course Tang En knew that Alleria was not telling lies. Even though there were a lot of soldiers in the Illrus Empire, their combined combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Ellington Guards, or in other words, now Pulan Dahl had no army that could match the fighting prowess of the Ellington Guards.
"So we came to a conclusion after discussion."
His Majesty the Pope said: "The Knights Templar will carry out dispersed patrols and provide mobile support. The Empire will send several troops to station at fixed locations to block the surrounding arteries, with the Ellington Guards as the core of the main force to eliminate the demons that appear!"
"What do you think of this plan?"
"I have no opinion."
Tang En said: "If necessary, they can leave at any time."
Opportunities to deal with the Chaos army are not always available, and it is of course great to have the opportunity to practice with the troops in normal times. They just took a break recently, so they can practice with the demons.
"Although the Ellington Guards have strong combat effectiveness, their strength is based on special equipment. Their own strength is not strong, so they cannot be allowed to have close contact with demons."
After several battles, Tang En's tireless training, and the powerful effect of Ellington's magic source, the overall strength of the Ellington Guard has now steadily increased. The newly recruited members have taken the magic awakening potion. , and after receiving a long period of systematic training, he has been fully promoted to bronze level.
The previous reserve members have generally reached the Black Iron level through continuous training, and some have even reached the peak of the Black Iron level. The main members of the Guard have fully broken through the ninth level of the Black Iron level and entered the Black Iron level. At the silver level, a small number of elite members have even exceeded the gold level.
This happened in just one year.
As I said a long time ago, among the various races in Purandar, human cultivation qualifications are not only not bad, but are actually extremely excellent. It is precisely because the overall talent is extremely excellent that they can achieve greatness in just a few decades. It can be promoted from zero to legend, reaching a state that other races can reach in hundreds or thousands of years.
And what about here in Ellington?
Within a year, many people went from ordinary people who didn’t know how to practice to gold-level apocalypse—no matter how exaggerated the rhetoric is to describe their talents, it’s not an exaggeration, because they are real geniuses, and all they lack is a chance.
And Tang En gave them this opportunity.
"Of course we know."
The Pope smiled and said, "If you feel sorry for those soldiers, why don't you provide us with some of the equipment?"
If the Templars could obtain the equipment of the Ellington Guards, wouldn't their combat effectiveness be improved just a little bit? That is simply a qualitative change!
It's a pity that the Pope got the news from Iluli. He knew very well how valuable the equipment was.
"Let's talk about it later."
Tang En smiled and didn't say anything. If a war really breaks out in the future, the equipment must be openly supplied, but that's not possible now. Openly providing it now will only lead to the expansion of some people's power and desire. In the end, The only outcome is the outbreak of war.
The Pope spread his hands and did not continue to press: "If we agree to send troops, we need to formulate a relatively complete plan now."
Tang En knocked on the table, pondered for a moment and then said: "Oli, don't mobilize the garrison for the time being. It will attract a lot of people's attention. Just leave the devil's matter to us."
Alleria was startled: "You guys?"
"Yes, the Ellington Guards. They need a lot of practical combat experience, and the Templars can provide combat assistance and protection. Their power has a restraining effect on demons and can greatly improve safety."
When Tang En said this, he slammed the table and said, "Yes, this is an excellent training opportunity."
Training, training?
The muscles on the pope's face were pulsing. The devil was famous for its evil reputation, and many people avoided him. He actually wanted to use the devil as a sparring partner for military training?
Looking at the entire Purandar, which king dares to do this?
No one but him.
After finalizing the details of mutual cooperation with the Pope, Twain hurried back to Ellington.
"You're back? What does the Holy See of Light want from you?"
"event."
Tang En said a little embarrassedly: "The devil has appeared...and it may be related to me."
He was really embarrassed to say that it was his pretentious behavior that led to the unexpected appearance of the devil.
Fiona raised her eyebrows: "So?"
"I'm going to inform the Ellington Guards now and head to the Great Rift Valley in the middle of Taris and Alyinx."
"In such a hurry? Set off immediately?"
"Yes, the Templar Knights have already set off. Our people will go to Taris through the teleportation array, and then ride motorcycles from Taris to the Great Rift Valley to join the Templar Knights."
As Tang En spoke, he walked towards the window: "Pay more attention to the institute's affairs, especially Justice's needs. You should try your best to resolve any requests she has - except for particularly unreasonable requests."
When the words fell, Tang En had already passed through the window and landed on the street outside.
"..."
Fiona sighed: "If you don't go through the door, you always go through the window. That's not how you behave."
Elsa, who was doing sword swing exercises on the training ground, was suddenly startled. Tang En's voice sounded in her ears: "Elsa, lead all the main members to gather in the central square immediately. We have a mission."
Task!
Elsa was refreshed and excited, and she crushed the heavy stone sword in her hand with a bang.
"Yeah! It hurts!"
"Dizzy! Sister is excited again!"
"So I told you to stay away from my eldest sister during training!"
"Hey! Stop talking nonsense!"
Elsa scolded, waved her hand, took out the chain sword, thrust it into the ground, and shouted energetically: "Brother...well, His Majesty sent word that I have a mission!"
"Did you hear that..."
"Well...where's 'brother'..."
"I didn't expect to be able to show off my face during training..."
"What I didn't expect was that it was the eldest sister who fed the dog food..."
When Elsa heard their whispers, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she tensed up and said, "Are you guys itchy?"
"No!"
"It's okay if you don't. Now everyone gathers immediately and goes to the central square to listen to the order!"
"Understood!"
The soldiers immediately lined up in neat lines and marched towards the central square.
When Danny passed by Elsa, he couldn't help but glance at her: "Um, eldest sister..."
"Um?"
Danny pointed to the ground under her feet where the chain sword was cracked: "If you damage public property, your salary will be deducted..."
Elsa: "..."
