193 Another Scheme
Early in the morning, Fang Ping saw a large number of wild beast corpses laid out on the black ground in front of him. There were probably hundreds of them, and there were many huge wild beasts that did not look weak.
In comparison, only a dozen or so Lord’s Guards had died. It was simply a super victory.
However, looking at the shrinking cavalry team, he felt a little sad.
Especially for those who were alive, if the battle casualty rate exceeded half, the psychological pressure would be very great, because the next person to die was very likely to be him.
There were no deserters or mutinies. It was a good way to govern the army.
It was still related to the environment of this world. Humans were not the protagonists of the Xiluo Continent. Where could they run to? Leaving the army and Humans would only die faster.
The sun had already risen, but the team still had no intention of setting off.
Many people in Fang Ping’s team started fighting with each other. Fang Ping had nothing to do. He lay on the hill and basked in the warm morning sun to accumulate energy.
If only there was some soft grass under his body, it would definitely be more comfortable. Unfortunately, it had been burned, leaving only grass ashes on the ground.
The surrounding voices became noisy. Were they going to set off?
He sat up and patted the dust off the grass. He stood rooted to the ground and had no intention of leaving. However, they all looked in the same direction.
Fang Ping stood up to see what they were looking at.
In the distance, a team was approaching, shining with golden light.
It was the Human army.
“The Vatican is here too.”
Qing Niao stood at the side.
The Vatican? Fang Ping looked at the leader at the front. It was not the leader of the Holy Light, Shockley.
“Fao, Qing Niao. Have you ever heard that name?”
“Archbishop Fao? I think I’ve heard of him, but I don’t remember him.”
There were not many people in the Vatican’s team, only a few dozen people. There were three carriages behind them, walking steadily.
At this speed, it would take some time to come over.
Chen Long also walked to the side and looked at the Vatican’s team.
“Why is the Vatican here?”
“What’s wrong with the Vatican? I don’t think I’ve heard of the Vatican very often. The first time I heard of it, it should be the leader of the Holy Light, Shockley, leading a team to the Dark Forest.”
Fang Ping actually did not have any feelings for the Vatican. While this organization seemed to be quite big, he could not come into contact with it at all in his life.
“Commander Shockley is relatively easy to get along with. The Vatican’s power is relatively large in the cities in the east, and the voices in Elf City are relatively quiet.”
“Isn’t the Vatican a faction? Didn’t they say that Humans are no longer powerful and have to unite? Didn’t the nobles cancel it because of this?”
“Of course, the Vatican listens to the King’s commands. It’s just that… Of course, in the face of danger, the Vatican will send troops and fight bravely. They won’t take the spoils of war, but their actions make it impossible to see the reason. They always feel that they have other motives.”
Fang Ping could not comment on it.
A greedy person was naturally the safest because they only did it for money.
However, if a person did not do it for money, his motives would be suspicious. What was free was the most expensive.
“Actually, it’s not all about the spoils of war. You’ll know after interacting with the Vatican more. However, there’s no need to worry too much. They’re Humans after all. Their ultimate goal is the same.”
Fang Ping did not have much of an impression of it anyway. He would just take a look.
“By the way, Chen Long, what level is Archbishop Fao?”
“It’s really useful for you to be able to see other people’s names with your characteristics. Is Archbishop Fao the one leading the Vatican’s team this time?
“She’s a genius of the Vatican in recent years. It only took her three years to advance from a Deacon to a Bishop. Others can’t become a Bishop in ten or twenty years. Moreover, after becoming a Bishop, it only took her five years to become an Archbishop.”
“Does the Archbishop mean Epic?”
“The advancement of the Vatican not only requires levels, but also faith. However, generally speaking, the lowest level of an Archbishop is at the Epic grade. Fao advanced to the Legendary stage two years ago. She’s only in her early thirties. She also has a chance of trying to be above the Legendary grade.”
Above the Legendary grade?
Fang Ping thought of Chen Long’s father, Grand Duke Du Wei. It was said that he was the person closest to Legendary.
Seeing Ivan approach them, the team waited for a while and began to move forward.
The Vatican’s team brought up the rear, walking more than a hundred meters behind Fang Ping’s team. Now, Fang Ping only felt an overwhelming sense of security. He no longer needed to use the special characteristics everywhere. He wore the Tranquil Heart Necklace and accumulated energy by the roadside.
Ivan the Silver Heron Tiger, Demon-Hunter General Van Helsing, Archbishop Fao.
Three Legendary-level people were present. Such a luxurious lineup. Even if a Magical Beast came, it would only be for practice. Threats? That did not exist.
…
“Silver Heron’s Voice, Teacher Elsa, long time no see. Your aura has become much stronger.”
“Archbishop, you must be joking. I’ve been running around and haven’t had the time to cultivate. Now, there’s a student whose situation is special. I need to trouble you to take a look.”
Fang Ping saw Teacher Elsa walking over with someone. It was Archbishop Fao.
Her long black hair draped over her shoulders, and her facial features were exquisite. She was wearing a purplish-red armor that revealed a portion of her lower abdomen. She was wearing a purplish-red battle dress. She held a golden metal book in her hand, engraved with complicated patterns.
She was graceful and slender, looking like a girl next door. She smiled and walked past him.
However, she was filled with the confidence of a superior, making people only dare to look at her from afar. It was difficult to profane her.
If he had not heard from Chen Long first, Fang Ping would not have been able to tell that she was more than thirty years old. This could not be explained by the fact that she had taken good care of herself. She had not aged at all.
Elsa led her forward.
Gran was still lying on Ya Bo’s back, still not awake. He didn’t know what was wrong with him.
...
Fang Ping was still very concerned about Gran’s condition. After all, he had used an Armor Forbidden Spell on him and two Silver Dragons. This money could not be little.
Elsa had come to take a look, but for some reason, she had specially invited Archbishop Fao.
“It doesn’t seem to be a curse-type characteristic. Some people will suddenly awaken in battle. I wonder if this is his situation.”
Elsa stood next to him. “Awakening characteristics? I’ve thought about it, but he’s already awakened.”
“Second Awakening, do you have a Mage who knows Group Amnesia?”
“I don’t have Group Amnesia, but I do have Amnesia characteristic. William, come here for a while.”
William walked over from the front and bowed. “Miss Elsa, Archbishop Fao.”
Fao returned the greeting slightly.
“William, we haven’t seen each other in a long time.”
Elsa pointed at Gran. “Try to make him lose his memory.”
William walked to Ya Bo’s side and covered his eyes. Then, he lowered his hand and bowed to Elsa before walking towards the front of the team.
...
At this moment, Gran moved.
He struggled to get off Ya Bo’s back.
“Where am I? Where am I? What happened?”
“As expected, it’s a second awakening. Congratulations. Since there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
Archbishop Fao passed through the group and walked towards the Vatican at the back.
Fang Ping looked at her back and felt that the Vatican was doing quite well.
Gran quickly understood his situation, and the people around him came over to congratulate.
