Chapter 42: The Warden

Sauron hung far behind.

The strength of the other party is not what it used to be, and if you get too close, you may be discovered.

The paladin had just left the city, and Sauron noticed that someone was hurrying outside, he had openly killed the skeleton sand thieves in the city, and it seemed that he was still at the level of a leader, and it was almost impossible to leave the city without retribution. Desert bandits are ranked first among the bandits and robbers in various places, and the fierce Cheng dΓΉ is not too far behind the pirates. The pirates' desire for revenge is strong, and since the city has harbored sand pirates to sell their stolen goods here, it is absolutely impossible for only one member to be here.

The paladin left alone.

The probability of being caught up by them outside the city and retaliating can be said to be more than eighty percent!

That's why Sauron quietly followed.

He didn't really like helping people, but he didn't want the paladin to die here like this, so he decided to follow and see, and if the other party wasn't the match for the sand pirates, then he would meddle in the matter.

But.

Seeing the paladin leave so calmly, it seemed that he was also a little sure.

The wind and sand have become a little bigger.

The paladin's speed wasn't fast, which made Sauron wonder if he was deliberately slowing down and waiting for the sand thieves to catch up with him.

Really!

After about an hour.

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, followed by dozens of masked sand thieves approaching from the flanked sand dunes, and they formed into two groups to surround and block the paladin's retreat.

"Kill!"

The cold-blooded and fierce sand thieves did not have the slightest superfluous words, and there was basically no possibility that they would sit down and talk with the orderly and kind paladins. For under the command of a sand pirate who seemed to be the leader, the other desert bandits shouted and rushed forward, some of them speeding up and sprinting down, others taking out their bows and arrows to aim at their targets. With nearly forty or so in number, it looks like a bandit bandit, and even a legend can feel a little tricky with that number.

"Looks like he's in trouble." Sauron's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't make the slightest movement.

He had to determine if the paladin was sending him to his death.

If he didn't even anticipate the situation in front of him, then he was completely sent to death, and such a person was not worth his rescue at all.

Because in the end, they will still die.

- "Charge!" ”

With a sonorous sound, the young paladin raised his hand and threw away the corpse of the sand thief he was carrying, and then rushed towards him with the giant sword in both hands, roaring, "You are guilty! Eradicate the evil!! ”

If there is a real holy radiance.

The holy warrior's whole body seemed to be enveloped by some kind of energy, and he swung his two-handed giant sword to rush towards him, and in an instant, he swung his sword horizontally, accompanied by the wailing of the horses, directly slashing a sand thief and his horse under the sword.

- "Justice is with me!" ”

- "Hand of Tyr!" ”

The paladin's palm pressed down on the two-handed greatsword, and then the seemingly ordinary two-handed greatsword actually separated from the middle and turned into two one-handed greatswords, he held the hilt of the sword and soared into the air, and in an instant, two more sand thieves were killed on the spot.

- "Dance of Death!" ”

The whirlwind of one-handed greatsword is even more amazing than Sauron's sword power [Whirling Dance], which can be said to directly split all the enemies involved in half.

Blood, corpses, stumps and severed arms.

At this moment, the violence displayed by the young holy warrior seemed to have a tyrannical aura!

This is the 'Holy Avenger' in Sauron's memory.

Bell Block!

The arrow struck the paladin's body, but it failed to penetrate his silvery-white broken armor, and he used his fish-scale arm armor to block an oncoming arrow, and then suddenly accelerated towards the archers in front of him.

"Justice! Sacred! Guts! ”

The young paladin pressed his hand to the sand, and the cunning sand thief turned his horse's head and retreated as soon as he saw him approaching, and it was difficult to catch up with these enemies on his legs alone. However, the next moment, the holy warrior seemed to have activated some special ability, and with the holy white light, it turned into a summoning circle, and a tall white horse rushed from it.

- "High Summoning Mount!" ”

- "Celestial Horse! ”

The white steed rushed out of the summoning circle, and the paladin turned over and jumped on the horse's back, without his guidance, and the celestial horse automatically chased after the enemy with telepathy. This is a war horse from the upper plane, which only a very few professionals can summon, and the Paladin happens to be one of them. They are stronger and more intelligent than the horses of the physical plane, and are a creature of the upper plane with a creature level of 10 or higher.

Blood splattered!

The paladins rushed into the sand bandits, and soon one by one the enemies were cut off their horses.

Bell block.

The young paladin was like a ruthless reaper, without the slightest mercy from the other paladins, and his moves were fierce and ruthless, even more domineering than Sauron's attack when he harvested his enemies.

Barely a single enemy who died under his greatsword was alive!

Even if one or two sand thieves were so frightened that they fell to their knees and begged for mercy after being shot off their horses, he did not hesitate in the slightest, and directly swung his sword and cut off the enemy's head.

The fierce fighting continues.

The paladin gradually developed some wounds on his body under the siege of the sand thieves, and even the extremely strong Celestial Horse was a little out of breath at the moment, because it was hit by an arrow in the abdomen.

- "Healing Hands!" ”

The Holy Light emerges, and the Paladin can use it to heal injuries after invoking the divine energy, but the healing effect is not comparable to that of the priest, this ability is only once a day, but the healing divine energy can be used separately. The paladin healed not his own injuries, but the Celestial Horse under him, and he himself let out a low roar and suddenly jumped off the horse and swung his sword and slashed.

His strength was a little exhausted.

Without advancing to the Legendary Realm, he would not be able to master the powerful legendary specialties such as [Armor Skin], [Legendary Robustness], [Legendary Combat Skill], [Perfect Physique], etc., which made his explosive power unable to obtain sufficient support.

The sand pirates suffered heavy casualties, but when they found that the paladins were exhausted, they rushed back again.

- "Sacrifice, glory, indomitable!" ”

The young paladin still had a resolute face, and he put his two one-handed greatswords back together, then took a deep breath and roared, "Judgment! ”

- "Sword Momentum [Cross Slash]! ”

A ruthless and domineering sword light emerged, and the enemy who rushed in front of him was instantly cut into four neat pieces.

Sauron's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression suddenly became a little surprised.

Advanced swordsmanship!

There are not many abilities in this world that can be called high-level swordsmanship, and the complete white crow tactics are one of them, but Sauron has not been able to really master it until now, because he has not obtained a complete learning program. Sword Momentum [Cross Slash] is another high-level swordsmanship, the origin is a crusade against heretics, and the full version should be called [Silver Cross Swordsmanship]. This kind of sword momentum has gone beyond the scope of mortals, and it can even touch the realm of 'qi' like a sword master.

This 'qi' is difficult to describe in words, but it can be roughly illustrated by examples.

The Sword Master, who was close to the legendary level, swung his sword at a distance of five meters from the wooden stake, obviously not hitting the wooden stake, but he was able to split the wooden stake in half in an instant.

If you insist on saying what it is, it may be understood as 'sword qi'.

This ability is very difficult to cultivate, and basically anyone who has mastered it has gone through a long period of hard cultivation. Basically, the difficulty is similar to that of a Juggernaut Sauron once saw swing a sword to cut through flowing water. The young paladin did not perform the full version of the [Silver Cross Swordsmanship], but the power of each blow was as fierce as the sword master who activated the 'Qi Lifting Slash'.

The more powerful the move, the greater the consumption of the body!

Sauron could tell that he was nearing the end of his crossbow, but just as he was about to secretly help the paladin, he suddenly felt something and retreated into the shadows.

- "Judgment! ”

Another burly figure appeared, it was a very tall man, close to two meters four tall, looking like a little giant.

Holding a war hammer in one hand, he rushed in like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and corpses were scattered everywhere he passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen sand thieves were killed by his men. Carrying a heavy warhammer in one hand and a heavy, metallic codex in the other, this tall man slaughtered the sand thieves in front of him with a blank face but with a fierce and brutal face. Hardly any of the sand thieves present could resist a single move under him, and all of them were killed with one blow without leaving any alive.

Sauron shuddered.

His eyes were fixed on the burly man in front of him, and he muttered in his heart, "Warden?!" ”

- [Warden]!

A legendary-level paladin, the mentor of the Holy Avengers, and also their training instructor.

"Good."

The warden glanced at the corpses all over the ground, and then his gaze fell on the young paladin, and said slowly, "Although it is a little worse than I expected, it is not bad that you can do this with your strength." ”

"Young man."

"You've gotten through my trials here."

A holy warrior with a professional level of about sixteen can deal with a desert bandit group alone, and also kill two-thirds of the enemy, this record can already be said to be brilliant.

The young paladin knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, Warden. ”

The burly man glanced at him, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, "Your Excellency the Wanderer is nearby?" Please come out and see you! ”

Discovered?

Good and powerful perception.

Sauron retracted the steps he had just prepared to retreat and slowly walked out from behind the dunes.

The Holy Avengers have been hiding in the Gobi region, and they are often active in the desert, because they also belong to the Orderly camp, and the holy warriors of this organization have also adopted some of the training skills of the Eastern warrior monks.

Maybe that's why he was able to discover Sauron! (Listen to the wind and discern the position.) οΌ‰
