Legendary Hero

Another month passed, and the scope of influence of the altar continued to expand, and the diameter of the purification mask had reached a hundred kilometers.

Inside the shroud of the holy land, there is a splendid vitality, whether it is sunny, misty and rainy, or thunderstorms, reflecting the beauty of nature in various forms and full of order.

Outside the mask, the sky is gloomy, filled with white mist, and the whole world is dark. Life is huddled in dark corners struggling to survive, and it is full of decay and death.

One side of heaven, one side of abyss.

On this day, at the border on the side of heaven, the giant Leonardo led nearly 500 warriors who belonged to the giant clan, and they were confronting a group of faceless men on the other side of the border.

The holy land continued to expand, and there were more and more such small conflicts. From time to time, abyssal creatures who were not afraid of death rushed into the houses of the holy land to make trouble, so the goddess messenger formed a guard team, and the brave giant Leonardo became the guard team one of the leaders.

Compared with a month ago, the number of residents in the Holy Land has increased greatly at this time. A large number of abyssal creatures were purified during the expansion of the Holy Land, and the guardians would also capture some powerful monsters to enter the Holy Land for purification, which made the number of residents exceed 5,000.

Most of these 5,000 people are giants purified by lizardmen, accounting for more than 98%. The reason is very simple, because there are the most lizardmen in the abyss. They like to live in groups, are good at cooperation, and their individual combat power is not bad. They can be regarded as the winners in the competition for survival in the abyss.

It can be said that the current holy land is dominated by the giant family.

The confrontation at the border was still going on, Leonardo looked at the Faceless Man on the opposite side, and said in disgust, "When did these damned cowards have the guts?"

The faceless man is a middle-level hunter. When the giant was still a lizard man, there had never been a faceless man in the place where the lizard man lived, because the latter was no match for the lizard man at all.

Perhaps the bodies of the Faceless Ones are even stronger, but the lizardmen are very good at cooperation and like to use tools. Their warriors gather together to unleash terrifying combat power.

In the Abyss, the Faceless Ones would turn around and run away when they met the Lizardmen, so today's situation is very unusual.

At this time, a tall faceless man on the opposite side screamed, walked to the front, and said loudly in the lingua franca of the abyss: "Leonardo, don't think that I won't recognize you if you change your appearance. I want you to come out and fight me Tangtang!"

Leonardo frowned, he wasn't irritated, but felt that what happened today was a bit strange, the reaction of the Faceless Man was too abnormal.

The Faceless Man on the opposite side was still talking. At this time, a giant warrior made a move and threw the stone spear in his hand as a javelin.

Although they became giants, their strength didn't drop. The throwing spear roared and flew towards the talking Faceless Man. The other party didn't check, and the stone spear pierced through his chest, and he was nailed to the ground in one fell swoop.

Leonardo's adjutant who shot was named Vorecha, who was purified by the leader of another lizardman's lair. In terms of strength, he was on par with Leonardo. The reason why he is an adjutant is that he was purified a few days later than Leonardo.

After killing the Faceless Man, Vorecha bared his teeth and smiled at Leonardo: "Captain, he's too noisy, isn't he?"

There was not much respect in this smile. In fact, the two sides had never seen eye to eye. If the envoy of the Goddess of Life hadn't been emphasizing the need to cooperate, they would have fought a battle in accordance with the tradition of the Lizardmen to decide who would be the leader.

Leonardo snorted and looked at the Faceless Men outside: "They dare not come in. The reason why they dare to stand there should be someone backing them up."

"You mean there is a powerful lord hiding behind. They want to provoke us and lure us out." Vorecha can be the leader, and his mind is also very bright.

"Yes." Leonardo nodded: "But our duty is to guard, not attack. As long as we guard the border, they will not dare to come in. The Holy Land is expanding, and they will keep retreating."

"That sounds very mean." Worecha muttered dissatisfiedly.

Leonardo glanced at the adjutant beside him coldly, and said coldly: "I am the captain, don't provoke me again! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" Worecha did not back down. He took a new solid stone spear from a warrior who belonged to his lair beside him, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Leonardo, do you think the envoy made you As the captain, you have power? Joke! Unless you can beat me in a duel, don't even think about ordering me!"

The lizardmen in the past, and the giant race now respect force. If a leader cannot show strong personal force, no one will obey him.

This is a rule selected under the cruel environment of the abyss, and it cannot be changed in a short while, at least this generation of giants cannot be changed.

Leonardo was furious at Vorecha's provocation. The leader of the giants was never afraid of a challenge. If it had been the case before, he would definitely have taken the spear to fight, but today the situation is different.

Leonardo suppressed his anger and looked at Vorecha: "I accept your challenge, but not now. Now, our task is to defend the invasion of the Faceless and protect the holy land behind us!"

At the end, Leonardo looked around at the soldiers under his command: "I know, everyone comes from different lairs, and everyone has different leaders, but Ms. Gracedy rescued us from the abyss and let us enter this Heaven-like holy place, shouldn’t we give something back first? We giants, are we an ungrateful race, are we going to live up to the goddess’ favor?”

Leonardo grasped the vital point. The soldiers who had been alienated from each other because of Vorecha's provocation were encouraged by him. The soldiers raised their spears and shouted: "Never fail the goddess! Protect the Holy Land!"

"Good!" Leonardo applauded loudly: "Brothers, our family of giants has noble glory."

The giant raised the spear in his hand, held it tightly, looked around at all the soldiers under him, his eyes were full of enthusiasm and sincerity, and he shouted loudly: "Now, because of the duty of guarding the Holy Land, I, Leonardo , was appointed as the temporary leader by the envoy. This is the will of the envoy, but the envoy does not understand us, and she does not understand the tradition of my giant family. But this time, the Faceless One is present, and I ask for the help of my brothers. Wait until This time the mission is completed, we will rely on the glorious tradition to duel in an upright manner to prove who is the ultimate leader!"

The last sentence, Leonardo yelled out with all his strength, the voice was like thunder, the soldiers were silent for a while, and then they all raised their spears and roared in response: "Leonardo! Leonardo!"

Whether it was the warriors of Leonardo's own clan or the warriors from other lairs, they were all overwhelmed by the charisma of this giant's personality at this moment. At least at this moment, their hearts recognized the giant's leader status.

Worecha felt this, his face darkened for a while, and he gritted his teeth, but this time, he didn't dare to choke, because he found that even the warriors in his lair were calling Leonardo's name .

He knew that this time, he would not be able to challenge Leonardo, and as long as he completed this mission, Leonardo's reputation would rise to the point where he could hardly resist.

His only chance is to defeat him in the following duel according to tradition. Yes, a duel, Walley took a look at Leonardo's body, and had already made up his mind.

Afterwards, the giant guards followed the calm Leonardo's method, and could not stay at the Holy Land, no matter how provocative the Faceless Man was, they would not move.

Three days later, the Faceless One had no choice but to give up the provocation and fled in embarrassment in the face of the brilliance that was constantly advancing.

The guardians also retreated to their forward camp. As they had agreed before, Leonardo agreed to accept the challenge the next day after resting.

The whole process was watched by Luna Allen and Luo Lin. Seeing this, Luna said to Luo Lin: "You won, my appointment is indeed not as effective as imagined. What do you think of this Leonardo?" ?”

"Not bad." Luo Lin succinctly commented on two words.

"Is it just good? I think he is the perfect leader. He takes the overall situation into consideration and can easily conquer people's hearts. He has the temperament of a king." Allen laughed.

"It's just because he's in that position. Your appointment still helps him a lot. In fact, if you appoint Worecha, he can do similar things." Rowling's analysis is neutral.

In a large group, whether a person is dazzling or not, talent and ability are not so important, what matters is whether he has a stage to show off.

As an envoy of God, Allen has great prestige. She appointed Leonardo as the leader of the guards, giving Leonardo a big stage. Although due to the giant's tradition, this appointment does not have absolute control, but the help to Leonardo is still very great.

To put it another way, the giant Vorecha was not worse than Leonard, he just had bad luck.

"Oh." Allen thought for a while, and felt that what Rowling said was not unreasonable, but she already had a good impression of Leonardo, because the giant's previous performance was really eye-catching.

She is a very frank god. Whatever she thinks, she will say it directly: "According to their own agreement, the duel will start tomorrow. I intend to make Leonardo the leader. Giving him some power may help him become the king."

Luo Lin sighed. Although this Luna has changed a bit, her thinking foundation is still controlled.

But she didn't understand that even gods couldn't completely control the fate of mortals, and the results obtained after forcible control were often not what they originally wanted.

"Why, don't you agree?" Luna asked, she now attaches great importance to Luo Lin's suggestion.

Luo Lin looked at Luna standing beside him, and said softly: "If Leonardo is the real king, he will naturally become king. If he is not, you help him up, and if he loses his virtue in the future, your majesty will also damaged."

"Then let's just watch, why don't we do anything?" Allen was lost in thought.

"Why not? We have already done the most important thing. You established the holy land, and I fought against the abyssal behemoth and maintained its continuous expansion. This is already a great virtue. As long as it is a creature in the holy land, no one can Denied, no one can forget."

Seeing that Alan was deep in thought, Rowling said the last sentence: "Let the mortals be mortals, and the gods be gods."

This is Rowling's own perception, and he has heard similar words in the later generations of Troll. At that time, there was a rule in Troll that the immortal could not become a real king, otherwise he would die.

At this time, Rowling observed the operation of a holy place by himself, and only then did he truly understand the deep meaning of this rule.

"The ability to formulate this rule must be a great power of wisdom and understanding." Luo Lin sighed.

Allen seemed to have figured it out too, she smiled to herself, shook her head and said: "It seems that I was indeed wrong before. In Nordrassil, I wanted to control, but I had the evil result of the great magician Emile. Even Nordrassil is ruined."

Luo Lin smiled, and he said: "It's not like doing nothing. We can set up academies, impart words and knowledge, and let all kinds of talents spread across the Holy Land, and then they will be transformed into great power."

Allen thought about it, this is indeed very necessary. The holy land cannot be protected simply by the stone spear in the giant's hand. They also need more and more powerful weapons, more and more powerful armor, and even goblin-like monsters. Scary aircraft.

It has to be said that the battle of the goblin invasion left a very deep impression on Allen.

"This is a good idea. I don't get involved in these giant leadership battles, I just impart knowledge, haha." Allen laughed.
