Chapter 124: Divine Grace

War fighters, on the other hand, brought together some of the strongest of the nobles, and Shepard was among them.

The flames on the burning fire continued to dance, and from time to time there was the crunch sound of the wooden handle being burned, and the blood-for-blood killing continued, but not only the many soldiers were tired, but the nobles around the priest of the god of war were also very embarrassed at the moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Church has received news that there is unrest in the outer city of Esmirtaran, the capital of King Am, and the cultists who summoned the Void Demon have cursed tens of thousands of innocent inhabitants into twisted monsters! The thousands of twisted things that besiege us are one of them. ”

The faces of the war fighters were solemn, but in the hearts of many nobles, they just wanted to scold, anyone who was besieged by such a group of crazy monsters in the wilderness, the mood was not much better, if it weren't for the magic of the priests to lock up the morale, the private army under his command, which usually mainly bullied serfs and free people, would have collapsed long ago.

However, the Church of the Gods is majestic, although the royal power and the divine power have always been in conflict with each other, but at this time the nobles also dare not speak out, after all, they were pitted by the church to cross the river only to find that they were almost surrounded and annihilated, this kind of life is too exciting, many nobles have not encountered a few times in their lives.

The war fighter also saw the dissatisfaction of the nobles, he was both disdainful and helpless, since the beginning of human history, the conflict between the church and the royal power has never stopped, the desire of the church of the gods to control the believers, as well as the greed and recklessness of the lower priests, instead forced the nobles to gather around the royal power, in order to unite against the divine power, so the nobles who believe in the church are often those who are not powerful in the kingdom, no matter how pious the real power is, they will not stand on the wrong side.

Feeling uncomfortable in his heart, the high-ranking priest's tone was a little cold: "We have been supporting the siege of these twisted monsters for half a day, even with the divine support given by my lord and your highnesses, before midnight tonight, the exhausted soldiers will inevitably collapse!" And the restoration of the magic will not be done until tomorrow, so even if we can survive, this operation will be a failure. ”

As the acting commander appointed by Count Vast, it would be a little inappropriate for Shepard not to speak at this time, but if he came forward directly, it would be equivalent to intensifying the conflict, so he signaled to the people next to him, and Count Locks, one of the representatives of the nobles of Toucheng, saw Shepard's signal, and had no choice but to come forward and say: "However, the six thousand people transported by our three fleets are now only more than four thousand people are still fighting, and their morale is low, and they all rely on the support of your Excellency's divine arts, is there anything Your Excellency can do?" ”

The war fighter looked up at Count Locks, and then seemed to glance at Shepard casually, but His Excellency the Baron's face was as usual, but the Count's face turned pale, as if he had done something wrong.

The war fighter didn't laugh angrily, but the smile was a little sarcastic: "More than that, aren't all your personal guards still there?" ”

At this time, someone stood up without Shepard's signal, and Baron Comili couldn't help but say, "How can this be done!" Without personal guards, who will guarantee our safety?! ”

"I'll promise!" Seeing that the nobles' expressions had changed drastically and were about to start arguing, the war fighters first shouted loudly and forcefully, and held back everyone's words.

"I will draw a total of a hundred from your own soldiers! It is up to me and the priests of the Just One and the Lady of Fortune to pray to the gods so that they can fight their way out of the encirclement, and there must be a command behind the siege of these thousands of monsters, and only by killing the commander who commands many monsters to attack us without stopping, will you have a chance to live! Otherwise, if this operation fails, the army of twisted monsters will destroy the encirclement of the Church of the Gods! When the time comes, the temple will ask you, do you think the queen and the council will be able to keep you? Even the Earl of Doom himself will bear the guilt! ”

The war fighters shouted angrily, and the prestige of the killing made everyone stunned, and the nobles were not all short-sighted, but the life and death crisis was ahead, and it was human nature to save life first, and there was no distinction between right and wrong.

"Your Excellency is right, I am willing to divide half of the personal guards, and be led by the captain of my personal guards, and obey your command." Shepard suddenly spoke up, not only expressing support for the church's decision, but also taking the initiative to divide half of the personal guards, and even his personal guard captain Jeffer was arranged by him.

After all, he was the commander appointed by the Earl of Vast, although he was taken by the war fighters, but now everyone can see that he does have wisdom, and the priest of the War Church can command this encounter, which will inevitably win the joy of the Lord of War, and he wisely relinquished the command, and also prevented many nobles from turning the heartache of heavy losses into hatred for him after the war.

At this time, his statement also made others wake up, whether they want to or not, what the war fighters said is the truth, and everyone can see the situation at the moment, if you don't bet on this, there is really not much chance of survival, even if you let the fleet come to pick them up and escape, then the morale will collapse and the defense line will completely collapse, and you will have to drown in the chaotic army before you get on the ship.

So after Shepard made a statement, in less than half a minute, others also expressed their agreement.

The war fighter looked at the nobles with satisfaction, and said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as your own soldiers can survive and receive the blessings of your highnesses, their potential will be at least one level higher!" ”

As soon as this sentence was said, some nobles suddenly felt that they had less points, and their potential was increased by one level, even if they couldn't become high-level epics, even if they could have one or two more high-level professionals, that was the cornerstone of the family's stability.

At the sound of an order, everyone also went to select their own guards to participate in this death squad, some nobles such as Shepard had a lot of personal guards, half of the twenty people were divided and there were ten people to protect them, and some of them had a total of just a few personal followers, all of whom were cultivated by smashing pots and selling iron, at this time, even if one was divided into the bottomless pit, it was distressed to cry without tears.

Shepard didn't bother with them, but asked Jeff to pick out ten of the guards, all of whom were the second sons of the family or had heirs, and called him aside, and took out the things he had taken out of the half-plane in advance, which were originally in the collection of the Salibota family.

He handed the package to Jeff and instructed: "You put these things away, there is a set of leather armor inside, it is made of two layers of demon sideburns after tanning, the material is fine, although it is a little heavier, but the defense effect is very good, you will put it on first, and wait for the divine grace of your highnesses to descend, it should be nothing to you." ”

"In addition, there are three scrolls here, namely [Spider Web Technique], [Stone Skin Technique] and [Stone Wall Technique], you can put these three scrolls away, or find a clever person to send them down, and it can save your life at a critical moment!"

He patted Jeff on the shoulder: "They're all a bunch of awesome guys, including you, try to bring them all back to me!" ”

He casually handed Jeff a well-made one-handed cane, and this series of things moved his personal soldier captain to almost cry, and choked up: "My lord! My lord, your safety is more important. ”

"I'm protecting in the army, I don't need these, you have these things, and the chances of completing the task and saving your life are much greater, so put them away." Shepard smiled and motioned for Jeffer to lead the people to the meeting place, and seeing the moved young man leave with the other ten soldiers who were not very old, Shepard's face smiled, and he was calm.

In terms of combat power, Sidney is ten times more suitable than the intermediate Jeffer, but Sidney's value is not worth spending in this nine-death breakthrough, unless it is possessed by the protagonist's aura, anyone who dares to take on the task of death no matter how you look at it, but wealth is in danger, if Jeff can really come back alive, then a high-level professional, even if he is just the most popular [warrior], is also qualified to let Shepard give him a manor, and be promoted to [Knight] and be called the master.

This group of eleven people is like this, after this battle, Shepard's territory will inevitably be comparable to any county, as long as these people can have the qualifications to be valued, he will naturally give them the corresponding status and benefits, not to mention that he didn't tell these people the truth of the matter, even if he says it, these people will only rush to do it!

You must know how many nobles in the realm of the people have worked hard for two or three generations just to become free people.

……

The team of 100 people gathered, and the leaders of several priests of the gods really valued this mission very much, and the coin messengers of the Lady of Fortune were not suitable for this kind of breakthrough battle, but the priests of the god of war and the god of justice did not hesitate to select people to join them, and also serve as the sharp knives and commanders of the team.

"My lord Nicholas, the power of war is in your hands, I call your name between blood and fire, and I will be invincible because of your protection......"

The prayers of the war priests are low, and so are the rest of the priests, even if they have exhausted the divine arts, joining the prayer can increase the success rate of the ritual and the divine power that descends, you must know that the gods also have their own likes and dislikes, so the priests should carefully prepare the rituals and sacrifices when they pray, so as to increase the chance that the gods will pay attention to the prayer and give it a response.

Fortunately, the probability of the good god responding is always much higher than that of the evil god, and there has been a fight here for most of the day, tens of thousands of people have been killed, and the breath of war has been so strong that everyone can feel it, so at this time, there is almost no possibility of failure in the prayer of the god of war.

Twenty minutes later, the prayers of the priests suddenly stopped, and then the different divine powers of the various gods lit up, especially the divine power bestowed by the god of war, and the divine grace fell from the sky and fell on the heads of the hundred noble soldiers who had been waiting nervously.
