Chapter 120: Priestess Aisha
Carter came out of the tent ten minutes later, followed by the priestess and the chief prosecutor. The chief prosecutor held a small box in his hand, and the sound of metal collisions continued along with her footsteps.
"The loving Mother Goddess Elsa is heartbroken by what happened to us, and specially sent down an oracle to prove our innocence!"
The 21st company of elf soldiers gathered outside the tent did not react immediately after hearing what Carter announced.
They didn't realize it until the female prosecutor personally handed the green leaf-shaped pins brought by Priest Aisha to their hands one by one.
"Oh! Praise the goddess!"
"For Isa!"
Cheers quickly replaced silence and became the main theme of the military camp.
However, what they didn't notice was that when the female inspector handed the pin to their hands, an energy wave that was almost invisible to the naked eye was emitted, and it quickly swept through their bodies. In the end, no problems were found before returning to the pin.
This is a special magic item used to detect chaotic energy. Ordinary elves without strong magic talent can hardly feel this, so they did not notice that the female inspector's body tensed up when she handed out the pins, and she was ready at any time.
She was ready to take action. As long as someone looked strange or there was a slight possibility of being eroded by chaos, she would take action instantly.
You must know that most mages in the Warhammer world have a certain degree of melee combat ability, even elves. The mage's staff is not only used to cast spells, and the sword he carries is not for looking at. Just because they are
Spellcasters who underestimate their melee combat capabilities will definitely suffer.
But fortunately, nothing happened until the last person received the pin, and even the more than forty elves who had once had their minds bewitched did not have any problems.
This made the priestess who came to deliver Elsa's oracle this time relieved.
After kindly communicating with a few elves who were originally Aisha believers, the priestess who came in a hurry also left in a hurry. It seemed that the upcoming battle made the priestess quite busy, which also made Carter feel the goddess.
'Elsa' sincerity.
As soon as the priestess left, a dozen mages who had completed their tasks also left together, and gave Carter a few documents that exuded a faint light as proof. The elves of the 21st Company, who were already very happy, saw this and simply used simple food.
We held a simple banquet with drinks and happily provoked various beautiful and wild dances.
Knowing that they had been holding it in for several days, Carter, who felt very frustrated, did not stop them. However, in order to avoid rumors, it was stipulated that it could only be held for two hours. After that, they had to collect the temporarily detained weapons, equipment and supplies, and officially return to the hero.
Sequence of the Eagle Legion.
However, when the curious elf asked Elsa what kind of oracle had been sent down, Carter said that he could not tell everyone the content for the time being and would have to wait a while.
It wasn't until he left the crowd and returned to his tent alone that Carter couldn't help but recall the content of the conversation just now.
……………………………………………………
"On my own behalf, I welcome you, my child."
The moment he walked into the tent, everything around him changed instantly. The surrounding area changed from a military camp lined with tents to a wilderness. A gentle voice immediately sounded in Carter's ears. He was caught off guard and immediately looked around him on guard.
"I'm here…"
The female voice that suddenly appeared was shrouded in a light that was so bright that Carter could hardly look directly at it. He could only tilt his head to observe with a little peripheral vision.
"You shouldn't be..."
Carter, who guessed the other party's identity, couldn't help but ask.
"You guessed it right, my child. I am exactly the goddess 'Isha' you know. But this is not my real body, and I cannot contact you directly. This is done by my daughter Lilith.
Yes, your body has fallen into a deep sleep, and the place we are in is your dream."
Her words shocked Carter's heart quite a bit. It was good to be received by a true god in person, but being knocked unconscious and fell into a deep sleep made him feel numb in his scalp.
"I'm sorry to meet you in this way, but the rules set by Asuryan are too overbearing and I can't circumvent them, so I can only meet you in this way, my child."
As the goddess shrouded in strong light approached, the dazzling feeling became weaker, and Carter could barely see clearly without squinting.
"No, it's my honor to meet you"
After hearing what the other party said, Carter quickly knelt down on one knee according to etiquette and lowered his head to show respect.
This is an elf god at the level of a main god, and he cannot and should not show any disrespect at all.
"Haha, don't be so formal, sit down."
With a sweet smile on her face, Elsa waved her hand and two seats appeared in the originally empty wilderness.
After a few excuses, Carter sat down obediently and reluctantly looked at the figure shrouded in light, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see a detailed outline, or he couldn't remember it.
"You may be wondering why I want to see you, right?"
Carter just nodded silently.
"Although I cannot come to the real world in person, my eyes have never been far away from my favorite children. Chaos is threatening the entire world, and I am also looking for a redeemer who can bring a glimmer of hope to the elves. You follow Ali
When Siannar's troops entered the forest to exterminate Chaos, that was the first time they noticed you. You did a good job and your power was amazing."
The smiling Elsa avatar didn't know whether she didn't notice Carter's stiff expression or didn't care, and continued talking.
"Since that time, I have attached special divine power around you. As long as the Four Gods of Chaos don't cast spells in person, it will be extremely difficult for ordinary demons to spy on you, and it will also make it easier for me to keep an eye on you...
I have to say that your performance is beyond my expectations. Ordinary Chaos Warriors have almost no ability to fight back against you, but your body is still in the category of mortals and it is easy to be seriously injured.
Your flame is very special. You may not have noticed it, but I have inspected the piles of corpses you left behind. The corpses burned by your special flame have almost no trace of chaotic energy left, and the purification effect is quite powerful.
…”
Listening to the goddess in front of her reveal little bits of her own deeds, Carter, who thought she had hidden it well, felt a huge wave of emotions in her heart, because this meant that she knew that Carter was no longer a native of this world.
"The scale of this Chaos invasion is unprecedented. The elves need all the power they can use. I believe your power can play a far greater role than you think.
An army led by a Slaanesh demon named En'kari is surrounding 'Tal-Drowdel'. They will arrive in two days at most. By then, you will have to face an army of nearly one hundred thousand people.
A huge army, Aris Anar and his Eagle Legion have shown great fighting power, and the number of mages living here is also objective, but no matter what, my children will suffer tremendously.
I love all the elves deeply, and I feel sad every time one of them passes away."
As he spoke, the avatar in front of Carter actually shed two lines of tears, and strangely floated into a crystal bottle.
"The elite troops sent by my most powerful God-chosen Eternal Queen 'Astariel' have arrived here. They proposed to Aris-Anar a plan to behead the Great Demon of Slaanesh, and finally convinced Aris-Anar to serve as the
They provided assistance and prayed to me to bless them with a successful assassination, at least to defeat the Great Demon of Slaanesh, so that the assembled Chaos army would lose a powerful commander and fall apart.
This Slaanesh demon forcibly integrates several troops who believe in different evil gods. Once it loses its suppression, gaps will appear within the chaos. If this plan succeeds, then the crisis of 'Tal-Zrowder' will automatically be lifted.
.
...A dozen or so of them are very powerful in combat. If they can deal with the Great Demon of Slaanesh alone, they may not be able to kill it, but it is still possible to defeat it and repel it."
After saying this, she suddenly stared into Carter's eyes and said:
"I am willing to support them and give them a little blessing of my divine power to protect them from the corruption of Chaos. But this is still not enough. Carter, I need you and the soldiers of the 21st Company who have proven themselves to help them. I will also
Bless you..."
……………………………………………………
Carter, who was sitting on his bed, was lost in thought. He felt distraught when he thought that he was about to face a Slaanesh demon who had fought against the original Phoenix King.
What can he do if a true God entrusts him personally?
The love of this Elf Mother Goddess for the elves is real. She does not want to see a tragic offensive and defensive battle that causes huge casualties to the elves of 'Tal-Zrowdel'. This is why she responded.
The prayers of the dozen eternal guards and maids.
But it was obvious that she had made a choice: Carter, the 21st Company and that small group of eternal guards became the small part that could be sacrificed for the overall situation.
Carter, who agreed to participate in this operation, received a powerful rune and the priests of the Elsa Temple would temporarily enchant everyone's armor and weapons with mysterious magical power, but Carter still attacked hundreds of elves.
There is not much confidence in the plan to kill a great demon of Slaanesh in the midst of nearly a hundred thousand troops.
The upper and lower limit of the combat power of the big demons are very high. Some can be killed by ordinary soldiers with halberds, and some can slaughter an entire city with one person.
And Enkali, the great demon who had fought against the first Phoenix King in Carter's memory, obviously belonged to the latter.
It was not until the banquet was over that the soldiers received their weapons and equipment that Carter told everyone the contents of the 'oracle'. He was afraid that announcing it during the banquet would bring huge psychological pressure to them.
However, the imaginary scene of "feeling abandoned" did not appear. Instead, the elves under the podium showed excited expressions, which shocked Carter.
Chapter completed!
