Chapter 507 The Witch Trail

He gathered a few coolies in the Retribution Team. Xu Yichen was in a good mood. After Yang Yuefan passed the round of trial, he would throw his identity to Knight Bart directly for training.
These dozen people looked much stronger than the malnourished refugees. Even after eating for a month in the Retribution Team, those people's foundation was still too bad.
Since a lot of pollutants have been discovered, for the sake of convenience of management, Paladin commander Dell issued the first order.
All members of the Expeditionary Force put down their weapons, picked up shovels, and began to work hard in the contaminated areas, piled up the grayish-white corrupt substances from the edge to the middle.
The selection mechanism of paladins is very excellent. Those who can successfully become paladins are mentally tenacious. Even if they occasionally fall, they will be strongly stimulated by the outside world or directly corrupted by chaos.
No one complained, almost everyone got down and started working, which was related to chaos, and the paladins had no choice but to do so.
Since you are unable to take care of such a huge area of ​​polluted areas, then you should concentrate these pollutants together and take care of them in a unified manner.
The paladins worked for five days, and a large amount of daily necessities were sent to the Black Forest. For convenience, the demon hunter directly organized people to build a simple highway from the edge of the polluted area to the castle.
When professionals are willing to put down their weapons and devote themselves to construction, the productivity that bursts out is no less than that of engineering machinery.
For all men, they need to cut down giant trees for several hours, and paladins with power attributes exceeding fifteen points only need three axes and can be dragged away by one person.
The road was quickly opened on the third day. In a straight line, the trees along the way were cut off and processed into logs. The roots were dug out and exposed to the sun, and they would soon become fuel.
Savin took a few local paladins and used war horses to drag the logs back and forth to compact the sand and soil.
The blacksmith shop of the dwarf Groyin has started construction almost day and night recently, constantly forging various tools into shapes, and has also created a lot of armor and weapons in their spare time.
If the iron ore stored before had not reached the bottom, the militia who had not completed basic training would have been better equipped than the city guards of Anthony Harbor.
After the hard work of the paladins, the scope of the polluted area has been reduced countless times, and the gray-white corrosive pollutants accumulated into more than a dozen hills appear to be very well-behaved without contacting the holy light.
In the original polluted area, the paladins were excavated until the soil that had not been corroded was exposed, and there were also priests who used holy water to sprinkle them to check whether there were any residual pollutants.
The off-white pollutants were surrounded by wooden walls by Xu Yichen and others, and three simple towers were specially built to facilitate the guards when they were stationed.
"We carried five tons of holy water to solve the problem here. Unfortunately, holy water cannot directly purify this inert pollutant." After several experiments, Paladin Dale and the priest in the Legion were helpless to find that this pollutant could hardly react to any force other than the power of the holy light.
The only exception is the blood of the demon hunter himself. The blood of the other party has been proven to cause direct damage to chaos, but the reaction of this pollutant is not very severe.
And the only good news is that this substance really doesn't seem to have any effect on mortals.
"In any case, I will not regard this substance from chaos as a harmless thing, even if it does not corrupt mortals now." Paladin Dale said firmly: "There must be a conspiracy of chaos in it!"
A squad of fifteen paladins was left in the shrinking polluted area, and their mission was to ensure that no one could approach these pollutants.
No one is willing to take the risk of transporting these things into Anthony Harbour City or other places where humans live, so it is also a good choice to keep them in place.
Since chaos eroded the world, there have been too many similar things that cannot be properly handled and have to be blocked and contact is prohibited.
"Since the pollutants here have been properly handled, what are your plans for the future?" The Demon Hunter felt that it seemed a bit unnecessary to make various defenses against the Paladin team before leaving. These Paladins should get along better than they imagined.
"We plan to start with your territory, carefully clean up the Black Forest, and then try to solve the land affected by the Corrupted Tree you mentioned." Paladin Dale sighed: "The Far South Continent is too big, and the previous local forces did not welcome us."
Just as the two were talking, a paladin on horseback rushed over from the direction of the castle and whispered beside Dale Sheews: "Mr. Sheews, Lord Landes discovered the trace of the witch and had not returned for a day with his four brothers."
"I get it, let Cohen lead his squad to search along the way, ready to send signals at any time." Dell calmly gave the order and shrugged at the Demon Hunter: "It's really lively around Anthony's Port, greenskins, pirates, chaos, witches. If there are wizards of the Witch King coming to join in the fun, we can fight a world war."
"Haha, yes." Xu Yichen's mouth twitched for a moment, and he smiled at the paladin with some stiffness: "I'll go back first to see if there are any other losses around the castle."
The demon hunter felt that he was really a crow's mouth. He just sighed that he had nothing to do with the paladins, and an accident happened immediately.
Xu Yichen contacted Yang Yuefan on the way, trying to understand the latest situation and see if the witch group hiding in Yueying Village had exposed their whereabouts and was followed by the paladins.
Pastor Richard is a rare enlightened faction in the church. He is willing to turn a blind eye to the witches because of his personal wishes. The Paladin Expeditionary Forces will not show mercy to the witches.
For some reason, Xu Yichen could not contact Yang Yuefan. The other party seemed to be no longer within his contact scope, so he could only wait for Yang Yuefan to contact him on his own initiative.
The Demon Hunter returned to the castle with great speed and entered the secret room as soon as possible, notifying Nangong Yujun that if an accident occurs, he would take [Mechanical Heart] to Yueying Village.
He turned around and contacted the Ranger Ji Wanbing and sent him to Yueying Village to warn the witches hiding there and the strange movements of the paladins.
Xu Yichen was not too worried that the paladins would have conflicts with him, and they had no direct evidence to prove the cooperative relationship between him and the Witch Federation.
