Warhammer in a box

Chapter 152 Medieval Court

The streets of Terra are filled with the sounds of hawking and people rushing to work.

The notice board was covered with job advertisements, both private and official, and the salary for each job was much higher than anywhere else in the empire.

If we just talk about the vitality of a city, Hodges swore that this was the only one he had ever seen in his life. He had been to almost every Electorate Territory in the Empire in pursuit of Chaos, but there had never been anything like this.

In the few days since he followed Rebecca to Terra, he has completely believed what Rebecca said.

At this moment, he was standing at the city gate waiting for someone. He had changed his original black witcher outfit and put on a combat suit of the same black color, which was more close-fitting and suitable for activities.

This set of combat uniform was also made for him by the craftsmen of the Order. Weapons and equipment were placed in appropriate places for him to use at any time. Although it was not as good as armor, it could also prevent cutting by some cold weapons and even defend against small-caliber bullets. The golden double-headed eagle logo on the black combat uniform also represented that he had joined Terra and was an official of Terra.

Not everyone is qualified to wear the symbol of the Emperor on their clothes.

The double-headed eagle symbol on Hodges' body is the product of the divine symbol.

He came here today because he had contacted some wild demon hunters. These demon hunters were also like-minded people he met in his demon hunting career, and they also gained mutual recognition in values ​​and moral character.

Although witchers have done some extreme things in their normal hunting, Rebecca allows Hodges to contact her as long as he is not a vicious criminal.

While Hodges was waiting, he heard the police shouting and cursing in the distance. At this time, a whole team of police were surrounding a dozen people, and those dozen people were also holding their weapons vigilantly.

"All of you! Put down your weapons! No one other than Terra officials is allowed to carry weapons in the city of Terra!" The captain of the police force aimed his gun at the other party.

But who would have thought that the dozen or so people who were surrounded had no intention of laying down their weapons, and each of them put their hands on the muskets on their bodies.

"I'll give you 10 more seconds. If you don't put down your weapons, you will be shot!" The police also opened the safety on their guns. The passers-by around were all scared and ran away, and the soldiers on the city wall also noticed the movement here.

With a sharp whistle, the regular troops also began to run towards there. Hodges recognized who the surrounded people were at a glance. Wasn't this the demon hunter he had found?
However, these demon hunters remained fearless at this time and even drew their weapons.

They were unwilling to join the church and be bound by it, and were not willing to give up these last guarantees of their lives!
"Wait! Wait! Don't shoot! We're on the same side!" Hodges immediately ran over and showed the soldier a certificate signed by Rebecca. After seeing the certificate, the soldier ordered his men to lay down their weapons.

"Please make sure you restrain these people. Even if it is a document signed by Lady Rebecca, if these dangerous people do anything illegal in Terra, I will definitely tell the Earl. You must be responsible for them!"

The captain returned the documents and gave the demon hunters a warning look before leaving.

"Don't worry! I will!"

The people around slowly dispersed, and Hodges also walked up to a few people. Almost all of these dozen people were young people, ranging in age from 20 to 30 years old. Those older people had completely fixed outlooks on life. They were not willing to change their way of life and were not willing to believe what Hodges said. It was not that Hodges had not contacted these people.

Demon hunters who can live to a certain age are definitely powerful fighters with rich demon hunting experience, but most of them refused, and only some young demon hunters wanted to change. These people were prepared to come and see after listening to Hodges' words, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as they entered the city.

"Hodges, are you treating us like this just after we entered the city?" The demon hunter in the lead was obviously not very happy, but after looking at Hodges for a while, they smiled at each other, and then the two hugged each other.

"Kosi! Long time no see!"

"Brother Hodges! Long time no see!" The two patted each other on the back.

Cosi David, a young man in his late twenties, was a child that Hodges had rescued during a demon hunting mission many years ago. At that time, Cosi was only ten years old. There was a cult hiding in his village that sacrificed the villagers to the evil god. His parents were also bewitched and wanted to sacrifice their blood, but fortunately they were rescued by Hodges.

At that time, Hodges was like a hero in Cosi's eyes. He wanted Hodges to teach him fighting skills and wanted to become a demon hunter, but was rejected by Hodges. After all, the demon hunter would not have a good end. He handed Cosi over to the local officials, took the bounty and left.

However, during a demon hunting mission a few years later, he met Cosi again. At that time, he had become a demon hunter, but his combat skills and experience were only half-baked. Hodges saved his life again, and they spent some time together as a half-mentor and half-friend.

At that time, Cosi was already a demon hunter, so Hodges did not refuse and taught him a lot of knowledge and how to become a demon hunter.

A few years passed after that separation. When Hodges thought of recruiting people, he thought of Cosey first and was lucky to contact him. Cosey also responded to Hodges's call and came here immediately.

"Cosi, who are these brothers behind you?" Hodges asked Cosi after a brief greeting, because these demon hunters seemed too young.

"Brother Hodges, these are the children I rescued during my missions over the years. Their parents are the same as mine. But I accepted them and taught them, and now they are just as determined as I am to fulfill their oath. Brother Hodges, let me tell you, we are quite famous in Wishen Territory!" Cosi seemed to be showing off.

"I'm glad to see that you are doing well!" Hodges was also very pleased. He felt like his child had grown up. What was even more touching was that the other party was doing well and was willing to give up everything to come to him.

"Brother Hodges, the weapons and equipment you have look very powerful. Are they the weapons from Terra that have been rumored recently? When I was in Wesenli, I saw two soldiers of the lord holding several such weapons and easily repelling the attack of the beastmen who attacked the village. My brothers and I also want to get a set, but on the black market, these weapons are shockingly expensive!!"

Kosi exclaimed.

"That's right. Moreover, these are not the common goods out there. They are all high-quality goods. Come on, don't stay here. I will take you to meet Lady Rebecca. You will also have these things!"

The two of them walked towards the city arm in arm.

The group stopped outside the largest church in the outer city of Terra.

Zhang Heng even had some credit for the construction of this church. In order to speed up the construction, Zhang Heng even used a 3D printer, and spent money to find someone online to customize related parts with qualified materials. Only then was this modern 10-story cathedral completed in just a few months.

The magnificent hall in this church can accommodate thousands of people for prayers and ceremonies at the same time. It is also the most sacred place in the hearts of the residents of the outer city.
