Chapter 485 Let mortals return to mortals
Another month has passed, and the scope of the altar influence has continued to expand, and the diameter of the purification light shield has reached one hundred kilometers.
Within the holy land light cover, there are gorgeous vitality, sunshine, misty rain, or thunderstorms, reflecting the beauty of nature's various shapes and order.
Outside the light shield, the sky is gloomy and white mist is everywhere, and the whole world is dark. Life is huddled in the dark corner and struggles to survive, and it is filled with the breath of decay and death.
One side is heaven and the other side is abyss.
On this day, on the border on this side of heaven, the giant Leonardo led nearly five hundred warriors who belonged to the giants, confronting a group of faceless people opposite the border.
The holy land continued to expand, and there were more and more such small conflicts. From time to time, there were no fear of death abyss creatures rushing into the holy land houses to make trouble. Therefore, the goddess messenger formed a guard team, and the brave and warlike giant Leonardo became one of the leaders of the guard team.
Compared with a month ago, the number of residents in the holy land has increased significantly. A large number of abyss creatures were purified when the holy land expanded. The guardians will also catch some powerful monsters and enter the holy land to purify, which makes the number of residents exceed 5,000.
Most of these five thousand people are giant clans purified by lizard men, accounting for more than 98%. The reason is very simple, because lizard men are the most in the abyss. They like to live in groups, are good at cooperating, and their single combat power is not bad. They can be regarded as winners in the abyss survival competition.
It can be said that in the current holy land, the giant clan occupies absolute dominance.
The confrontation at the border continued. Leonardo looked at the faceless person opposite and said disgustedly: "When did these damn cowards have the courage?"
The faceless person is a middle-level hunter, and when the giant is still a lizard man, there is never a faceless person in the place where the lizard man lives, because the latter is no match for the lizard man at all.
Perhaps the faceless person's body is stronger, but the lizard people are very good at cooperating and like to use tools. Their warriors gather together and can burst out with terrible combat power.
In the abyss, faceless people always turn around and run away when they meet lizard people, so today's situation is very unusual.
At this time, a tall faceless man opposite him roared, walked to the front, and shouted loudly in the common language of the abyss: "Leonardo. Don't think that you have changed your appearance and I don't know you anymore. There is a way for you to come out of it and fight me!"
Leonardo frowned. He was not angry. He just felt that what happened today was a bit strange. The faceless person's reaction was too abnormal.
The faceless man on the opposite side had to speak, and at this time a giant warrior took action and threw the solid stone spear in his hand out as a spear.
Although they became giants, their strength did not decline. The gun roared towards the faceless man who was talking. The other party did not investigate and his chest was penetrated by a stone spear and he was nailed to the ground.
Leonardo's adjutant, named Voretza, was purified by the leader of another lizardman's nest. In terms of power, he was comparable to Leonardo. The reason why he was an adjutant was because his purification time was several days later than Leonardo.
After killing the Faceless Man, Voretha grinned and smiled at Leonardo: "Captain, he's too noisy, isn't he?"
There was no respect for this smile. In fact, both sides had never looked at each other. If the envoys of the Goddess of Life had not always emphasized the need to cooperate, they would have fought first according to the tradition of the lizardman and decided who would be the leader.
Leonardo snorted and looked at the faceless man outside: "They dare not come in. The reason why they dare to stand there should be someone supporting them."
"You mean there was a powerful lord behind him. They wanted to irritate us and lead us out." Woretha was able to be the leader and his mind was also very smart.
"Yes." Leonardo nodded: "But our duty is to protect, not attack. As long as we stand on this border, they dare not come in. The holy land is expanding, and they will keep retreating."
"This sounds like a shameless thing." Worrecha muttered dissatisfiedly.
Leonardo looked at the adjutant beside him coldly and said coldly: "I am the captain, don't provoke me again and again! Otherwise..."
"What else?" Voretcha did not give in. He took a new rock spear from a warrior next to him who originally belonged to his nest, and smiled with a squinted eyes: "Leonardo, do you think that if the God Envoy makes you the captain, you have the power? Joke! Don't try to command me unless you can beat me in the duel!"
The lizard men in the past and the giants now respected force. If a leader could not show strong personal force, no one would obey him.
This is the rule selected in the cruel environment of the abyss, and it cannot be changed in a short while. At least this generation of giants cannot be changed.
This provocation of Voretha made Leonardo furious. The leader of the giant was never afraid of challenges. If it were before, he would have been on the battlefield, but today the situation was different.
Leonardo suppressed his anger and looked at Voretha: "I accept your challenge, but not now. Now, our mission is to defend against the invasion of the faceless and protect the holy land behind us!"
At the end, Leonardo looked around his warriors: "I know that everyone comes from different nests, and everyone has different leaders, but Ms. Gracedy rescued us from the abyss and allowed us to enter this paradise-like holy land. Shouldn't we be rewarded first? Are our giants, a ungrateful race, wanting to let the goddess down?"
Leonardo immediately grabbed the key point. The soldiers who had begun to estrange each other because of the provocation of Woretha, were motivated by him. The soldiers held their spears and roared: "I will never let the goddess down! Guard the holy land!"
"Okay!" Leonardo praised loudly: "Brothers, our giants have noble glory."
The giant raised the spear in his hand, held it tightly, and looked at all the warriors under his command, with enthusiasm and sincerity in his eyes. He shouted loudly: "Now, because of the duty to protect the holy land, I, Leonardo, have been appointed as the temporary leader by the God's envoy. This is the will of the God's envoy, but the God's envoy does not understand us, and she does not understand the tradition of my giants. But this time, the Faceless One is present, and I ask for help from my brothers. When this mission is completed, we will fight with glorious traditions and prove who is the final leader!"
The last sentence. Leonardo shouted out with all his strength, and the sound was like thunder. The soldiers were silent for a moment, and then they all raised their spears and yelled in response: "Leonardo! Leonardo!"
Whether it was the warriors of Leonardo's own tribe or the warriors from other nests, they were impressed by the personal charm of this giant at this moment. At least at this moment, their hearts recognized the chief status of this giant.
Voretha felt this, his face darkened and he gritted his teeth, but this time, he didn't dare to choke because he found that even the soldiers in his nest were calling Leonardo's name.
He knew that this mission he could not challenge Leonardo, and as long as he completed this mission, Leonardo's reputation would rise to a point where he could hardly resist it.
His only chance is to defeat him in the duel after the tradition. Yes, duel, Worre looked at Leonardo's body and had already made up his mind.
Afterwards, the Giant Guard followed the calm Leonardo method and waited for the holy land, and no matter how the faceless person provoked, he remained unmoved.
Three days later, facing the glory that kept moving forward and squeezed over, the faceless man had to give up provocation and flee in a panic.
The Guardians also retreated to their frontier camp and as they agreed before. Leonardo agreed to begin accepting the challenge the day after the rest.
The whole process. Allen and Rollin were watching. Seeing this, the moon god said to Rollin: "You won, my appointment is not as effective as you imagined. What do you think of this Leonardo?"
"Not bad." Rollin commented on two words concisely.
"Is it just good? I think he is the perfect leader, taking the overall situation into consideration, and he can easily convince people's hearts. He has the temperament of a king." Allen smiled.
"It's just because he's in that position. Your appointment still gives him a lot of help. In fact, if you appoint Vorrecha, he can do something similar." Rollin's analysis is very neutral.
In a large group, whether a person is dazzling, talent and ability is not that important, it is whether he has a stage to show.
As a messenger, Allen had great prestige. She appointed Leonardo as the leader of the guard and gave Leonardo a big stage. Although this appointment did not have absolute control due to the tradition of giants, it still had great help to Leonardo.
To put it another way, the giant Voretza is actually not worse than Leonard, he is just not lucky.
"Oh." Allen thought about it and felt that what Rollin said was not unreasonable, but she already had a great impression of Leonardo because the giant's previous performance was really eye-catching.
She is a very frank god. She said whatever she wants: "According to their own agreement, the duel will begin tomorrow. I intend to let Leonardo become the leader, and give him some strength, which may help him become the king."
Rollin sighed. Although this Moon God has changed a little, her thinking foundation is still controlled.
But she didn't understand that even God could not completely control the direction of the fate of mortals, and the results obtained after forcibly controlling were often not the first ones.
"What, do you disagree?" asked the Moon God. She now attaches great importance to Rollin's suggestions.
Rollin looked at the moon god standing beside him and whispered: "If Leonardo is the real king, he will naturally become a king. If he is not, you help him up. In the future, he will lose his virtue and your majesty will be damaged."
"Then let's watch, do nothing?" Allen fell into deep thought.
"Why don't you do it? We have done the most important thing. You have established a holy land, and I am fighting against the abyss monster and maintaining its continuous expansion. This is already a supreme master. As long as it is a creature in the holy land, no one can deny it or no one can forget it."
Seeing Alan pondering and silent, Rollin said the last sentence: "Let the mortals return to the mortals, and the gods return to the gods."
This is Rollin's own insight. He had heard similar words in later generations. At that time, Troll had a rule that the immortals would not become the true king, otherwise they would die suddenly.
At this time, Luo Lin observed the operation of a holy land by himself and truly realized some of the profound meanings of this rule.
"Being able to formulate this rule must be a powerful person with wisdom and understanding." Luo Lin sighed.
Allen seemed to figure it out too. She smiled and shook her head, "It seems that I was indeed wrong before. In Nordashill, I was thinking about controlling it, but I had the evil consequences of the great magician Emil, and even Nordashill was ruined."
Luo Lin smiled and said, "It's not that you do nothing. You can open a college, impart text and knowledge, and let all kinds of talents spread throughout the holy land, which will then be transformed into huge power."
Alan thought that this was indeed very necessary. The rock spear in the hands of giants could not protect the holy land. They also needed more and more powerful weapons, more and more powerful armor, and even terrifying aircraft like goblins.
It has to be said that the goblin invasion battle gave Allen a very deep impression.
"This is a good idea. I don't involve the battle of leadership of these giants, I only impart knowledge, haha." Allen laughed. (To be continued)
