Minori's gaze didn't linger on the people at the conference table for long, only a brief glance.
He turned and walked towards Go Gin's position.
He had barely taken two steps.
Whoosh!
A sharp sound of air being torn apart rang out from behind.
"Magic Armor!" The Verdant Witch shouted.
Clang! A sharp weapon accurately pierced at the Verdant Witch's chest, but was blocked by a layer of translucent magic armor, first emitting a crisp sound.
Then, the force on the short cone increased, causing the armor to emit a dull sound, but it was still blocked by the magic armor!
The sudden situation stunned everyone in the hall, or rather, the attacker moved so fast that they were only discovered at the moment of the attack!
Inside the conference room.
The Holy Knight Order members guarding the surroundings all drew their long swords in unison.
The weapon that attacked the Verdant Witch was a short sword, a specialized thrusting weapon called a Rapier, not an easy weapon to use.
Conversely.
Anyone who can use this type of weapon must be extremely skilled.
"Oh, dear, it's blocked."
A light voice, deliberately drawn out, came from the person who launched the attack and held the Rapier.
It was a vibrant woman with fluffy golden hair covering her forehead, and purple eyes full of smiles, giving her cute, feline face a dangerous, carnivorous aura.
When Minori turned around and looked over.
"Yo, cute little brother."
The golden-haired woman was still holding the rapier in one hand and continuing to apply force, while raising her other hand.
She greeted Minori familiarly.
Minori's outward appearance was indeed young, looking only about seventeen years old, while the golden-haired woman opposite him was clearly older, in her twenties.
"Corrosion Burst—"
Faced with the sudden attack, the Verdant Witch was clearly enraged, and coldly chanted to release magic.
If it weren't for the power of the "Wild Transformation Ritual" bestowed by her master, and she gained a certain boost even without transforming.
Otherwise, she might not have been able to avoid the opponent's sneak attack just now!
"Stop." Minori said.
The anger in the Verdant Witch's eyes paused, and the action of preparing to release magic stopped immediately, but she glared fiercely at the golden-haired woman.
Seeing the Verdant Witch, this demi-human in the intelligence reports, behaving so obediently, the eyes of everyone present flickered slightly.
"I want to know, what exactly is going on!" Minori's tone was serious and somewhat cold, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.
Clementine!
How could she be here?
Minori was a little surprised and strange, the other party is a member of the [Black Scripture], the meaning behind this is a bit intriguing.
Looking at her appearance, she hasn't defected yet?
"Don't be so nervous."
"I was just saying hello to your demi-human teammate, really, really."
Clementine also put away the rapier in her hand, pretending to be cute, but her eyes swept over the golden nameplate hanging on Minori's waist, and her cheeks puffed up slightly:
"What, the nameplate is still gold-level."
Hearing this light complaint, Minori's heart moved, puff~
Clementine licked the corner of her mouth.
The strength of the magic defense is not bad, it should be possible to destroy it with martial skills, Clementine quickly analyzed the information obtained in the previous attack in her heart.
The Verdant Witch unceremoniously exposed her: "I don't think that's a way to say hello!"
Bang! "Enough!"
Remedios slammed the table and stood up, her sharp eyes containing a blade-like light:
"Is the only adventurer with courage that the Adventurers' Guild can dispatch a team with demi-humans!"
"And you, woman who appeared out of nowhere, what do you mean by intruding into the war meeting, don't you even have basic etiquette, and the basic quality of obeying orders!"
Remedios scolded loudly and unceremoniously, to express her dissatisfaction.
With one sentence, the atmosphere became solidified.
Kelart's outstretched arm froze in mid-air, she had noticed Remedios's movement to stand up, and was about to reach out to stop her.
This inexplicable conflict is a problem between the adventurer team "Free Will" and the Slane Theocracy.
It would be good for them, the Holy Kingdom, to watch the show.
Moreover, they can take this opportunity to obtain information from both sides, which is beneficial and harmless.
As a result, she was still a step too slow.
After all, the reaction of a magic caster is ultimately not as fast as that of a warrior.
"How lovely." Clementine turned her head, her eyes full of smiles, her voice rising at the end.
Her fiery gaze stared unreservedly at the national treasure of the Holy Kingdom hanging on Remedios's waist, one of the Four Holy Swords.
"Clementine, what are you doing, aren't you not interested in this meeting?"
Captain Nigun frowned, speaking for the first time.
He knew that Clementine would not honestly obey his arrangements, and with his status, he naturally knew Clementine's situation.
The selection of members for the [Black Scripture] prioritizes those from the other Five Color Scriptures, and as the captain of the [Sunlight Scripture], he is also one of the candidates.
However.
Nigun is very clear that he has no way to compare with these real monsters, whether in terms of strength or talent.
Because of this,
Nigun was very strange, why Clementine would participate in this incident, and those high-ranking priests above would actually agree.
"I told you."
"Just saying hello, this fortress is very boring." Clementine shrugged her shoulders,
Speaking casually.
This nonchalant attitude.
Made Kelart's eyes suddenly change, and she looked at Clementine seriously.
Watching the scene in front of her.
"So."
Minori raised his head, his usually peaceful expression completely disappeared, his eyes revealing a trace of indifference: "There's no explanation, right?"
"Then I'll say hello too."
Minori straightened his back, suddenly smiled, and the sleeves of his naturally hanging white priest robe moved.
Bang! Bang! In an instant, dazzling and sacred white light gathered in the hall, and a powerful aura suddenly appeared.
Kairat, Captain Nigun and others' faces changed.
The air vibrated.
The Surveillance Angel and the Tranquility Authority Angel, two 4th-tier angels, simultaneously appeared above Minori's head,
Sprinkling specks of white light.
"Double Angel Summoning?"
Captain Nigun widened his eyes, with his strength he could only summon one fourth-tier angel.
Kelart leaned forward, her slender hand pressed on the table, her eyes equally surprised.
The information provided by the Adventurers' Guild was not very detailed, she only knew that this team had the strength of "Adamantite" adventurers.
Even "Adamantite" has its strengths and weaknesses, not to mention that according to rumors, the other party is also a genius alchemist.
One of the important reasons for inviting "Free Will" to participate is to borrow the "Regeneration Potion" from the other party's hands.
Right now!
Two fourth-tier angels - this is simply the power of the Heroic Domain!
Boom!
The Surveillance Angel flapped its wings, and its massive figure appeared in front of Clementine, who was not far away, as if teleporting.
A silver short hammer appeared, heavily swinging up!
The bottom of Clementine's eyes also showed dumbfoundedness, followed by an excited look, the movement on her hand didn't slow down at all, she raised the rapier, and also swung it out: "Unbreakable Fortress!"
However!
The short hammer wielded by the Surveillance Angel didn't crash down; instead, it halted halfway, causing Clementine's defensive technique to miss its mark.
With a whoosh!
The Tranquility Angel flew out from behind the Surveillance Angel, a long spear-staff appearing in her palm, which she swung down immediately after.
"Strike Against Evil!"
Clementine's expression changed. The 'Unbreakable Fortress' had just been released, leaving her no time to dodge. She could only reluctantly twist the short cone in her hand and hold it in front of her chest.
Bang!
A heavy thud echoed.
Clementine's body was uncontrollably blasted out of the war council room, flying towards the courtyard outside.
Minori watched this scene calmly. Clementine's sudden sneak attack earlier clearly contained killing intent.
This killing intent wasn't just directed at Verdant, but also at him.
"Is it related to the Alliance Master?"
"Has Clementine already secretly joined [Zurrernorn] at this time?"
Minori had this thought and waved his arm.
The Tranquility Angel and the Surveillance Angel vibrated their wings and flew out of the war council room simultaneously, rushing towards Clementine, who had just been blasted away.
Immediately afterward.
Exclamations arose from the elite troops of the Holy Knight Order and others who were resting outside, along with the intense sounds of Clementine battling the two Fourth-Order Angels.
Minori ignored the suddenly quiet and strange atmosphere in the room, and walked towards the conference table with Verdant and Enri.
Under Go Gin's gaze, he sat down next to him.
"Can the meeting begin now?"
Minori calmly swept his gaze over the various expressions on the faces of the people at the table.
Remedios rested her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, about to speak.
"Remedios, sit down first."
Kelart kicked Remedios with her foot, then stood up, the corners of her eyes slightly curved, and smiled gently:
"This is the leader of the Holy Knight Order, Remedios, who has been troubled by the undead in the hills recently, and is a little anxious and agitated in her emotions."
"On behalf of the Holy Kingdom, I thank you all for your support!"
Simple words glossed over Remedios's offense to both sides, while simultaneously regaining the initiative.
Remedios glanced at her sister's face full of fake smiles and sat down in silence.
She knew that her words had caused a bad influence, and in this regard, she was indeed not as good as her sister at handling things.
"Captain Nigun, what about your side…?" Kelart asked with a smile.
"Let the meeting begin."
Captain Nigun glanced at Minori, but didn't make any other moves, simply nodded and responded calmly.
"Is that so."
Kelart was a little surprised. The conflict just now and the battle outside didn't seem to have any effect on this Captain Nigun.
Or perhaps this reaction of his was what made people surprised.
Kelart had a few thoughts flash through her mind, sat down again, and then her expression became serious:
"Then, let the meeting begin!"
She had a feeling that the performance of these people was a little different from what she had expected.
Minori leaned back in his chair, his gaze briefly lingering on Remedios and Captain Nigun.
Remedios didn't show the excessive, thorny, and stubborn feelings that she had in the original work.
This had a certain relationship with the fact that the Holy Queen Calca and her sister Kelart had not died, but Captain Nigun's side was strange.
"The legendary undead Death Knight, estimated difficulty above one hundred, can create follower zombies, and use these follower zombies to create more zombie undead."
"Based on the currently known information, the number of undead in the hills should have exceeded thirty thousand."
"Faced with such a large number of undead and the terrifying abilities possessed by the Death Knight, ordinary troops are useless and will become members of these undead after being killed."
"Therefore! We must rely on absolute elites to quickly clear and eliminate these undead."
Pieces of information were quickly thrown out, making the expressions on everyone's faces even more serious.
The strength of ordinary undead is not high, but when the number reaches tens of thousands, it becomes very terrifying. The undead are tireless, but humans are not!
"In addition, a large number of undead gathered together will trigger the natural birth of stronger undead." Captain Nigun said coldly and seriously.
"The Holy Knight Order has 300 people, the Priest Order has 200 people, and the [Sunlight Scripture] has 80 people, totaling less than six hundred people."
Kelart pondered and said: "The other problems are not big, the key is supplies. 'Calinsha' is indeed a fortress city of our country, and it does have a large number of supplies."
"But in the absence of logistical support, the supplies that each person can carry are very limited."
The Abelion Hills are vast, and the annihilation of the undead is unlikely to be completed in a few days. In the absence of logistical support, food becomes the biggest problem.
If we only rely on local materials, there will be too many variables.
"Heh."
Go Gin, who had a low sense of presence and was being ignored by everyone, suddenly sneered in a strange tone.
In the next moment!
Kelart and the others all looked over.
Go Gin felt the undisguised disgust and resistance in everyone's eyes, sighed inwardly, and gave Minori, who was sitting next to him, a slight warning glance.
He really didn't like this black-haired kid before.
But after contacting this group of humans, he found that these people were even more annoying!
"It's just a matter of food, no need to worry."
Go Gin's rough voice rang out, and he said lightly: "Some time ago, we demi-humans just traded a large batch of food with you humans, have you forgotten?"
The air froze!
The faces of the people in the Holy Kingdom all showed embarrassment.
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
Minori pretended to be surprised, raised his hand and patted Go Gin on the shoulder, and said with a surprised smile.
"Yes." Go Gin nodded in a muffled voice.
Captain Nigun's face was a little dark, and he scolded without concealment: "Stupid!"
No one expected that the food trade at the beginning would now become their most important supplies, but this made the people of the Holy Kingdom even more embarrassed.
Remedios's face was flushed and angry, and she stared at Go Gin fiercely.
"In that case, the problem of supplies is solved, and we will have to trouble Go Gin when we get to the hills."
Kelart held Remedios's arm with one hand, and still opened her mouth with a gentle smile.
"Next is another problem, about the terrible magic chanter behind the Death Knight who can manipulate him."
The discussion speed of the entire meeting was very fast.
In addition to exchanging information, it was the anticipation and planning of the action. There was no dispute in the whole process. Obviously, the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy had plans in advance.
Clap!
"Then everyone!" Kelart pressed on the table, stood up, and said seriously: "In order to prevent more powerful undead and unexpected situations from appearing."
"Set off immediately!"
"Does anyone have any other opinions?"
No one responded.
"Then—depart!" Kelart said.
