Chapter 1957: Chapter 629: Temple Knights (Part 2)
After the Demon Clan and the Underworld Clan were stunned by the “Divine Realm War in the Southern Cross Star Forest,” the Beamon regular army, scattered across the borders of the Donau Wasteland relying on the number of magic teleportation arrays, seized this opportunity to fully support the two major provinces in the Northern WasteLand, resisting the powerful offensive from the Sea Clan.
After assigning the task of guarding the Red Earth Highland to a group of wounded and second-tier mercenaries, under the directive of His Majesty the King, Liu Zhenhuan led the Summer Palace Guard to Witherspoon, preparing to deliver a head-on blow to these invaders.
The Beamon Kingdom’s Northeast Province has a permanent population of about four to five hundred thousand. Due to the “Purple Hibiscus Recruitment Order” issued some time ago and the war that ensued, the Beamon civilians, already prepared, immediately implemented a scorched-earth policy and moved into the main city with their weapons and families. Currently, Witherspoon City roughly houses about seven hundred thousand Beamons, mostly from the Piegel race.
Witherspoon, the foremost stronghold in the Northeast WasteLand, has been managed by Fawkes for many years. Whether in defensive structures or troop deployment, it is fairly complete, and with recent assistance from a human military advisory group that improved the entire defense framework, Liu Zhenhuan made no significant changes or adjustments upon arrival as there was no time to redesign and arrange a perfect defense structure for Witherspoon.
His arrival serves mainly as a spiritual backbone.
His Majesty Sal specifically assigned Liu Zhenhuan to assist the Northeast Province rather than aid the defense of the royal capital Sabak for this very reason: the Piegel warriors of Witherspoon are far less battle-hardened than the royal capital’s Imperial Guard, and lacking a hard-nosed spiritual leader might lead to chaos before the battle even begins.
To Liu Zhenhuan’s surprise, Cardinal Brut arrived on the same day in the Northeast Province, ready to participate in the battle against the invasion by the Sea Clan. Accompanying the high priest to Witherspoon City was the newly-formed “Sunset Glory” Temple Knights, a religious force belonging to the Bimon Temple, which has rapidly developed since its decision to form before last year’s Desert War.
From the perspective of troop quality alone, the newly-formed “Sunset Glory” Temple Knights is undoubtedly among the elite throughout the kingdom; organized into five regiments, the Temple Knights primarily consists of powerful Beamons with robust statures, excluding the Taige Clan Tiger Men warriors, and includes a regiment of Puma warriors, indicating even reclusive Leopard brave warriors intend to serve their country in dire moments of existential crisis.
It’s undeniable that the sweeping success of the Summer Palace Guard significantly impacted the Beamon army, as Cardinal Brut’s “Sunset Glory” Temple Knights has almost replicated the entire military structure of the Summer Palace, especially in terms of the archer units, which rivals the bloated scale of the Summer Palace Guard—recently returning Muskox hybrids, totaling two thousand people, serve in this Temple Knights along with five hundred Snake-men divine servants from overseas Medusa support, known for their strong melee capability and ability to summon Skeleton Archers.
Additionally, this Temple Knights also consists of a large number of mutant Phantom Beast cavalry, and sixty thousand portions of “Nau Platinum” were entirely handed over to the king by Liu Zhenhuan, along with half of the Mudfoot Giants being loaned to help the royal capital, indicating His Majesty Sal prioritizes the greater situation over overtaking these strategic resources entirely.
What most captures Old Liu’s attention is the twenty or so Pile-Beret Rabbit Head Men in the Temple Knights, under the close protection of Golden Holy Temple Knights, which according to His Majesty Sal’s previous disclosure, these Rabbit Head Men Nation’s true treasure: possesing the racial superpowers of “Three Cave Ground Fissure”; merely seeing these Rabbit Head Lords is not that impressive to Old Liu—the intriguing aspect is the leader of this superpower Rabbit Head Men, a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a Turban and long hair, with his strongly ethnic-looking attire showing that this young handsome man must be from the Eastern Silk Continent.
Looking at this Eastern lad’s crimson purple priest robe and the Medusa Badge and Guoguo Badge on his chest, then seeing his confident, unflappable gaze and the fluttering beauty from the Pile-Berets, Garfield’s beauties and a Prairie Elves beauty surrounding him, Liu Zhenhuan involuntarily thought of himself from last year.
As Liu Zhenhuan observed this Temple Knights, likewise, the entire Temple Knights robustly scrutinized the Shaman of Divine Songs and the silent, formidable Summer Palace Guard standing behind him; although facing imminent threat now, the first meeting of these two major religious armed forces still carried thick, explosive tension in their exchanging glances.
As the two strongest factions in the Beamon religious system, the Temple couldn’t lower its leader status, but the Summer Palace already disregards anyone, thus the ingrained pride pushed both sides’ religious arming into competitive positions.
Looking at these Temple Knights clad in exquisitely crafted Misolly armor, uniformly wielding Uzi Fine Steel Weapons with cloud-like gorgeous patterns, the Summer Palace warriors viewed them as a bunch of monkeys wearing crowns; while the Temple Knights brought with inherent pride and undisguised envy, complex eyes stared at the Summer Palace battle flags embroidered with super-level warcrafts and the portraits of top-tier masters dripping blood.
