Chapter 43: Guarding

As if to confirm the situation in front of her, Alice stared blankly at Alexander unscathed in front of her, and then turned her gaze to the oracle beside her.

Lord Eliot's smug eyes made the female knight's heart sink suddenly.

"This can't ......," the female knight gritted her teeth and whispered, not so much asking the Divine Envoy as she was asking herself, "The Heavenly Sword just now should be able to penetrate any defense...... How come?"

Alexander silently put away the Heart of the Sea, and the blue shield around him suddenly disappeared.

Mistress Eliot, the divine envoy on the side, looked at Alice with a playful expression.

"Dear Captain Alice, I know that the Sword of Heaven has always been known for its excellent defense-breaking ability...... "Lu Chen said with a smile, "But you don't think that with your holy arts, you can penetrate the absolute defense of the Heart of the Hanhai, right? You know, in history, this necklace has even been carried by Dragon Flame!"

Alice looked at Lu Chen blankly, and the hand holding the "White Warbler" trembled.

"What's more, haven't you noticed that your holy magic power today is far less powerful than in the past?" Lu Chen looked at the female knight viciously, "I've heard that a paladin's holy power is directly proportional to her devotion to her faith, so is it your negligence in practice that has led to the decline in the power of holy arts, or-"

The divine envoy looked directly into the eyes of the female knight with a penetrating gaze:

Or is it because deep down, deep down, you have long realized that your actions have deviated from the Holy Spirit, and that only by persistently resisting like us can you truly obey the will of the Holy Spirit?"

"No!" Alice roared like a wounded lioness and swung her two-handed sword sharply.

A blade of holy light qi erupted from the blade of the White Oriole and shot straight at Alexander.

However, after using the Sword of Heaven, the female knight was already at the end of her power. With a single swing of his sword, Alexander blocked the opponent's air blade attack invisibly.

"Give up, Captain Alice. Lu Chen persuaded in a seductive voice, "Isn't it clear who will win this battle?"

Alice was silent for a moment, then raised her head and smiled miserably at the oracle:

"Protecting the Pope is my ...... as a paladin Even if it burns my life force, I will defeat this guard and thwart your plans......"

"That's enough, paladin!" Lu Chen roared a little impatiently, "Save your vitality against the Wehrmacht! what is it that gives you the illusion that I will be so big as to bring only one guard to attack the Pope?"

Alice and His Majesty the Pope were stunned.

Lu Chen sneered and clapped his hands.

The red curtain on the stage swayed again. From behind the curtain, a full eleven young guards rushed out, each armed with a divine sword, and each wearing holy armor.

The young guards raised their weapons and pointed them at the Pope and Alice. Using weapons to coerce the top leaders of the church, this group of young guards had hesitation and helplessness in their eyes, but they still did not hesitate.

Now, loyalty to God's ambassador and to the Holy Spirit is everything.

Alice stared blankly at the guards who were gathered around her, her face pale. Just one Alexander has already made her so embarrassed, but there are eleven more enemies with similar levels of equipment!

The numerical advantage is not much, but the top-notch equipment carried by this group of guards is something that Alice can't compete with no matter what.

"Surrender, Captain Alice. Lu Chen said coldly on the side, "The reason why I only sent Alexander to fight just now was just to test your combat ability - after all, there will be a heavy task against the Wehrmacht in the future, and I always have to understand the combat effectiveness of my subordinates, right?"

Alice looked at Lu Chen in a daze, and there seemed to be something shining in her eyes.

"I lost, didn't I?" she murmured.

"Yes, you lost, and so did His Majesty the Pope. Lu Chen raised his head and said, "But you didn't lose today - many days ago, your defeat had already laid the groundwork." I owe my victory to my loyal guards, to the treasures of the Church, and to the long hours of preparation and planning, which you are clearly not capable of. ”

Alice remained silent. Just when Lu Chen thought she was going to be restrained, the female knight suddenly stretched out her right hand.

A round of full and brilliant golden aura appeared out of thin air from nothingness, and immediately enveloped the Pope's crown on the side. From this golden aura, a faint ray of light stretched out and connected to Alice.

Holy Technique "Holy Shield Guardian"!

This rare holy spell can generate a holy light shield for targets other than oneself, defending against all attacks on the target! There are only two ways to undo this holy spell: either the caster can undo it on its own, or kill the caster completely!

This is the "Last Guardian" that the Paladins are known for!

"Paladin!" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said sharply.

"As I said, it is my mission to protect His Majesty the Pope. Alice laughed miserably, "Although I was defeated, my mission has not disappeared. I won't take the initiative to revoke the Holy Shield, so come and kill me, Your Majesty, Divine Envoyβ€”kill me, and then you will be against His Majesty the Pope!"

That's right, the female knight used a move "Holy Shield Guard" to block her life in front of the Pope.

This is the final dedication of Alice, the deputy head of the Holy Knights and the chief of the first knight, to her mission!

Lu Chen was almost so angry that his nose was crooked: This girl makes herself like a martyr, how do you feel that Lao Tzu and I are the villain?

The young guards on the side were also stunned, and many of them looked at the Divine Envoy blankly.

Although they had decided to pledge allegiance to the oracle, the young men were clearly not determined enough to kill a paladin. In the current situation, they can only wait for the instructions of the Divine Messenger.

"Captain Alice, do you know what you're doing?" Lu Chen roared through gritted teeth.

"Of course I do. Alice smiled indifferently, and the holy light connecting her and the Pope also trembled, "I probably don't have a long life, right? Although your personality was not like this before, I can see that you can sacrifice everything for your own vision now, what is it to be a mere deputy head of the Paladin?β€”β€” this change of yours is a good thing, our church needs a strong leader." ”

Lu Chen looked at the female knight without saying a word.

"Finally, I want to tell you," Alice said, looking at the Divine Envoy with a teardrop rolling down her cheek, "I have always supported your decision: the Holy Spirit did not establish the Holy Church to make us surrender. I hope that the church in the future will be able to stand out under your leadership, but now, I will do my duty. ”

The female knight closed her eyes softly, waiting for her fate.

Alexander stood in front of Alice with the sword of Eternal Flame, and turned his head to wait for the command of the Divine Envoy.

Lu Chen looked at the scene in front of him angrily, but didn't say a word.

In the end, it was an unexpected person who broke the silence.

"Remove your shield, Captain Alice. Gregory said softly, smiling weakly at the Divine Envoy in the shield, "Today, I lost completely. ”
