People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

"of course it's true!"

How could an honest young man like him, with loyalty written in his left eye and kindness written in his right eye, possibly lie?

Besides, what about magicians? That's called admiration, okay? Appreciation!

122. The Holy Tree Army Wants to Get Back at the Ground (6K)

"Lady Marennia, Knight Reinhardt and the others have been brought here."

Fenlei said respectfully in front of the tent, then lifted the curtain and walked in with a few people.

The space inside the tent was large, but also very empty, with basically nothing furnished except for a few chairs and pyroxene lamps placed around as lights, emitting faint light.

And Marennia sat at the main seat at the back, with her head down, writing something in the dim light.

Behind her hung a huge map, which showed the distribution of various forces in the border area, interlaced like jagged teeth.

Below the map is a prosthetic hand made of gold and a holy sword made entirely of gold.

He always thought that these two things were one, but he didn't expect that they could be separated.

"Lady Marennia, the person has been brought here." Finlay walked forward and bowed respectfully.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Fenlei. Go down first."

"Yes!"

Fenlei immediately turned around and left the tent without any intention of staying.

During this process, Marennia didn't even raise her head. She was still concentrating on the table, as if what she was writing was more important than them.

They didn't care and had no intention of being polite. They just walked to the side, sat down, and waited quietly.

Reinhardt leaned back in his seat, silently observing Marlenya, who was writing furiously on the table.

The dim pyroxene lamp illuminated her delicate profile, and her long, flaming red hair spread out casually, cascading down her shoulders.

I have to say that she and Michaela are worthy of being Marika's children.

If Michaela inherited Marica's wisdom and beauty, then Malenia inherited Marica's figure and strength. Not only does she have a perfect figure that is difficult to conceal even when wearing demigod armor, but she also has the strength to rank among the best in the border area just by relying on her superb swordsmanship.

It’s a pity that a demigod can’t hold on to this position solely by relying on swordsmanship.

Whether it is Lakkad or Latan, they all have unique powers, such as the pyroxene magic transformed by Miguel's spell and the gravity pyroxene magic that is rare in the border area.

Even in a one-on-one duel, King Mongget used the Golden Clan's Prayer and Crucible.

Therefore, this is why he said that once Marennia loses the power of the law, she will become a low-level demigod. The so-called demigods are all a group of aliens.

As for people like Greg, they can be ignored.

thump—

Suddenly, a faint muffled sound was heard in the tent.

Turning around, he saw Teacher Se Lian, who was sitting next to him, put his backpack on the ground, and the things inside made a rattling sound, like the sound of metal rubbing against each other.

Seeing this, Reinhardt's eyelids twitched and he felt a little confused.

What on earth did the teacher bring? Why does it look so important?

Could it be that he took out all the family property in the basement?

Given Se Lian's personality, it might really be like this.

If she hadn't been imprisoned by the academy, Teacher Se Lian would probably have found a way to move everything out of her room before leaving.

despair--

At this moment, Marennia finally stopped writing, put the pen aside, slowly raised her head and glanced at the three people. Her golden-red eyes were filled with indifference without the slightest surprise, as if she was not surprised by their appearance.

But in the end, her eyes fell on the half-naked Reinhardt.

"Long time no see, Reinhardt." Marlenya said slowly.

It is very rare that this woman would actually greet others, even though she is a straightforward person.

But since the other party had spoken, he naturally could not lose his manners and responded respectfully: "Long time no see, Your Highness Marennia, I wonder how you have been recently?"

"No," Marenia replied bluntly. "Reinhardt, what's your purpose in visiting? Are you planning to plead for that cowardly loser Greg?"

He went straight to the point and asked questions that made Reinhardt stunned.

But he immediately reacted and smiled slightly, saying, "Haha, I think Her Highness Marennia has misunderstood. Do you think I am that kind of person?"

"..."

Marennia didn't respond, but just stared at him, waiting for his answer.

That look seemed to say, "Answer me, I need you to give a direct answer."

"Okay, I get it. Please don't look at me like that. I'll answer you."

Seeing Marlenya's serious look, he was quite helpless. This woman was really too stubborn and more difficult to communicate with than Gu Long.

"Your Highness Marennia, I'm here to help you."

"help me?"

There was a subtle change in Marenya's eyes.

There was doubt and sneer, not taking Greg seriously at all, and sneered with disdain.

Reinhardt naturally noticed this and explained, "I understand. Your Highness, Marenia, would certainly not take the likes of Greg seriously. However, I see that your march this time was very hasty, and even the accompanying troops are only your close associates. I imagine this march is very important and urgent to you, right?"

When he came, he took a quick look at the Holy Tree Army's camp.

Rather than calling them the Holy Tree Army, it would be more accurate to say that they are Marennia's private army.

Apart from a small group of Lost Home Knights, there are very few Holy Tree soldiers stationed here. Basically, all those coming and going are the Honored and Corrupted Knights, with only a small number of mountain goblins following as logistical supplies.

It looks like a forced march.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Nothing, I just want to make a deal with you." Reinhardt sat in his chair, legs slightly crossed, and spoke freely. "I know your knights are all incredibly brave, and Greg is a disgrace among demigods, ranked at the bottom of the heap. But there is one thing you can't change."

"What?" Marenya frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Reinhardt smiled again and said, "That's how strong Stonewell City is."

"This city of Stonewell is a crucial fortress connecting Nimgefor and Lienia. Even when First King Gefulei conquered this place, it took considerable effort. How do you and your men compare to First King Gefulei and the Crucible Knights?"

"Get to the point. I don't want to hear any nonsense."

"Alright." Reinhardt spread his hands and shrugged. "Actually, I came here to help you capture Stonewell City."

"..."

Marennia's emotions fluctuated slightly. She looked at him deeply, as if weighing the pros and cons. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What's the price?"

She was a smart person and knew that Reinhardt couldn't be so kind as to help her for no reason. He must have some ulterior motive.

"The price is actually quite low. I don't think your destination is the land of Nimgefu. There doesn't seem to be anything worth pursuing in this area. I suspect, Your Highness, Marennia, that you intend to head to Galid, governed by [Starshattering General] Latarn."

"So, I hope to go with your army."

"can."

Without any hesitation or doubt, he agreed on the spot.

Even Reinhardt was a little surprised by this decisiveness.

"...Don't you want to ask me what I plan to do in Galid?"

"...Not interested. Go out. Finlay will arrange a tent for you."

Seemingly impatient, Marennia waved her hand and drove them out of the camp like flies, then she continued to write at the desk.

Reinhardt walked out of the tent in a daze.

He thought for a long time and finally came up with an excuse, but it turned out to be just like that?

But then again, given Marennia's personality, she really wouldn't care what he planned to do.

For that woman, the only person she cared about was her brother/sister Michaela.

But soon after he walked out of the tent, the Holy Tree Army held a grand welcome ceremony for him.

Some distance away from Marennia's main camp, the Knights of Honor and Corruption and the Knights of Lost Homeland surrounded them, just like the simple gladiatorial arena in the Middle Ages, but in fact it was indeed the case.

These knights were full of fighting spirit and were ready to move, as if they wanted to compete with them.

Seeing this, Se Lian frowned slightly and reached for the pyroxene staff hanging on the side of his backpack, while Lance Shanks also glanced around with an unfriendly look, and there was a faint fluctuation of dragon thunder on his body.

For a moment, the air was filled with gunpowder smoke, as if a war was about to break out.

At this moment, Finlay stepped out of the crowd and explained with an apologetic look, "Sir Rhine, I'm sorry... When you were discussing matters with Lady Marenia, I told them about your past with Lady Marenia. So, in order to save Lady Marenia's face, they wanted to challenge you."

"..."

Reinhardt looked at the crowd around him, then stared at Finlay standing in front of him for a while.

This matter was probably not instructed by Malenia, but was done on his own initiative. He wanted to avenge Malenia and deliberately told the knights what happened in the royal city.

You know, strength is respected in the border area, and these corrupt knights gather together because they admire Marennia's strength and regard her as a god.

So, after learning that the invincible Valkyrie had suffered a defeat, they naturally gathered together to seek revenge and reward Marennia.

Of course, if I'm not mistaken, Finlay also has this purpose.

But it was also a good thing this way, as he just wanted to stretch his muscles and prepare for the attack on Stonewell City. By the way, he also wanted to establish his authority over these corrupt knights to avoid any trouble in the future.

"Confucius said, 'It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar.' Since you have challenged me, I naturally cannot refuse. But who will you send out? Or will you all go together?"

Reinhardt's expression was very calm, and his tone was slightly sarcastic, which made the knights present even more eager to take action.

"How about I come and meet you?"

But at this moment, the old general O'Neill, who had attacked them before, came out carrying the military flag. With a thud, he pushed the flag to the ground. The crimson flag fluttered in the wind, looking quite imposing.

"Of course. It's you I most want to fight out of all of you," Reinhardt said apologetically, showing respect for the old general. He then looked at the crowd again, "Anyone else?"

"Sir Rhine, please forgive Fenlei for his rudeness."

Fenlei also walked to the center of the venue, holding a spear in one hand and a halo sickle in the other, and spoke respectfully.

It wasn't a surprise that she would join the battle, or rather, he had guessed from the beginning that Finlay would join.

"Well, is it just the two of you? Is there anyone else?"

"Just the two of us."

"Okay, in that case... let's get started."

Reinhardt took out the pyroxene weapon "De" from his waist and put it on his hand, standing there with a relaxed look on his face.

Competitions like this are not uncommon in the Holy Tree and occur almost every day, but challenging a being like Reinhardt who possesses laws is the first time.

So, even though Reinhardt looked like he was full of flaws standing there, neither veteran O'Neal nor Finlay, the strongest among the Knights, dared to attack rashly.

"What? You're not going to make a move? Or are you waiting for me to make a move? If that's the case, you won't have a chance."

Reinhardt spoke slowly as if stating a fact.

But in fact, what he said was true. Finlay and O'Neill were also well aware of this. Since there was someone who could defeat the Valkyrie Marennia, they must be extra careful.

After a moment, the two looked at each other, and after confirming each other's communication with their eyes, Fenlei said, "Sir Rhine, I'm sorry!"

The moment the words fell, Fenlei suddenly moved.

The spear in his hand suddenly stabbed towards Reinhardt's face.

"So fast!"

In just a moment, Finlay's spear had reached the tip of his nose, just a hair's breadth away from touching it.

He is worthy of being Marennia's guard knight. He is a ruthless man who can carry the unconscious Valkyrie through the border area and bring her back to the Holy Tree. This fierce attack is estimated to be able to defeat about three Gregs.

But...it's not enough!

Reinhardt's eyes flashed, and his body began to move.

His waist suddenly leaned back, and the spear hit nothing, cutting through the air with a faint sound of breaking wind.

But Finlay seemed to have anticipated this, and immediately raised the halo sickle in his other hand and slashed towards his chest.
