Chapter Forty-Eight: Familiar Steps
At this time, the members of the Storm Guardian are conducting group confrontation combat training.
The sword and shield men led by Brad and Jaxon split into two groups, with Pumilo's archers and Varian joining Brad's group, and Fairbank's pikemen joining Jaxon's group.
Armed with a shield and sword, Varian stood in front of the archers along with Brad and his sword and shield men, blocking the onslaught of the face team.
Pumilo constantly commanded his archers to shoot blunt arrows for training, suppressing Jaxon's team from a distance.
The strength of the four captains of the Storm Guardian is actually about the same, they are all elite warriors who have been in the battlefield for a long time, and there is still a certain gap between Varian and them.
However, after the experience of the previous dungeons, Varian has accumulated a lot of combat experience, and his level has also increased by several levels, and the current strength of Varian is still much more powerful than the recruits under him who have just trained for more than a month.
After the two teams went head-to-head, the sword and shield soldiers at the front of the team began to engage in close combat.
Brad found Jacques and pinned him down, while Varian took the opportunity to lead the rest of his sword and shield men into the enemy line, relying on his own strength to outrank them.
Varian's previous talent for protection was to learn the "Shield Barrier" and "Shield Mastery", which made it easier for him to use his shield to block attacks from nearby enemies without taking heavy shock to his hands.
Not only that, but Varian also activated the Piety Aura, and the soldiers near him became more resistant to the aura.
Of course, since they are only training and fighting, there is no use for various damaging skills such as "Dedication", "Hammer of Sanctions" and "Judgment", and Varian can only rely on the combat skills that Hill once instructed him to slash, at most, when he occasionally sees his soldiers accidentally injured, he finds time to make up for him a "flash of holy light".
Wen Lesa and the rangers of her team have been standing on the sidelines watching the battle, and through observing Wen Lessa, they found that although this human prince is very young, his strength is already very powerful at his age.
"Fortunately, this little prince is much stronger than I imagined, even if he does go to the battlefield, he will have a certain ability to protect himself......" Judging by his own vision, Wen Lesa felt that this escort mission should not be too hard.
"And that pure white energy...... That's the Light, isn't it? I didn't expect him to be able to use the Holy Light like a priest even as a warrior, it seems that this Varian prince is really not simple. ”
Wen Lesa and the others had just arrived at the Lordaeron Alliance's camp not long ago, and they had never seen the Paladin profession, but they were no strangers to the Holy Light.
As early as a thousand years ago, when the High Elves first formed an alliance with the humans of the Arathor Empire, the High Elves came into contact with the power of the Holy Light through humans, and also gave rise to the profession of priest.
However, the source of the High Elves' energy is the Well of the Sun, which is filled with magical energy, so most of the High Elves are more interested in arcane and magic, and there are very few priests who are committed to the path of Light.
And due to the influence of the Well of the Sun, the physique of the High Elves is generally more likely to have affinity for arcane energy, and there are few elves who are friendly to the Holy Light energy.
But compared to arcane energy, the Light has its own unique place. For example, in terms of healing and purification, the Light is far more powerful than the Arcane Power.
Therefore, the king and council of the High Elves have more respect for these few priests, and the priests also have a certain status in Silvermoon City.
Originally, a few High Elves later joined the Knights of the Silver Hand and became paladins (such as the Myra Dawnblade who had been looking for someone to desecrate Uther's tomb at the Fortress of the Dead).
It wasn't until Arthas, who later became a Death Knight, led the Scourge to bulldoze Quel'Salas and capture Silvermoon City, and even the Well of the Sun, the lifeblood of the High Elves, was used by him to bathe Kel'thugad.
The High Elves priest and paladin were furious that the Light had turned their backs on them, and they stopped believing in the Light.
Even those extreme blood elves, in order to take revenge on Arthas and the undead scourge, captured a Naru named "Muru" and created a "Blood Knight" by extracting the holy light energy in its body.
However, that's all for later, the current High Elf priests still believe in the Light, and Winlessa, who comes from the Windranger family, has seen how the priests of Silvermoon City use the Light for healing and purification.
Out of curiosity about Varian, Winlessa observes more closely, which leads to new discoveries.
"Huh?" Winlesa noticed that when Varian was fighting, his dodging steps were very similar to those trained by the High Elf rangers.
It's just that since Varian didn't fully grasp this pace, and he didn't face too many enemies when he first started fighting, Winlessa didn't notice it just now.
By the time Varian penetrated deep into the opposing formation, there were more and more enemies around him, and Varian had to use all his feet to dodge, which made Winlessa see it.
Winlessa was a little confused, she pulled the ranger next to her, pointed in Varian's direction and said, "Bellonis, look over there......"
The High Elf, Belonis, looked in the direction of Winlessa's finger, and soon she spotted the problem as well.
"Wen Leisa, who is that human boy you are pointing to? Why would he dodge our High Elves? Belonis asked curiously.
"He is the one we want to protect, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Kingdom of Azeroth, Varian Ureon." Wenlesa shook her head and continued, "As for why he did our pace, I don't know very well. ”
After hearing about Varian's identity, the High Elf rangers around him became interested in him and began to whisper in private.
"Oh, that's the prince we want to protect......"
"He's really young, but he's quite tall......"
"And he looks quite handsome, a little handsome guy......"
"Look at the way he fights seriously, how cute he is......"
Winlessa didn't participate in the discussion of these rangers, she just stared at Varian on the training ground, she always felt that Varian's combat moves were somewhat familiar, as if they were ...... It's like her sister Sylvanas......
