Douglas couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but he still gritted his teeth and slowly turned his head, intending to see who he had planted in his hands.

But the scene behind him disappointed him, because there was nothing but a transparent figure that could only see a faint outline......

There is no doubt that Ai Ai is wearing an invisibility cloak at this time.

"Rats with their heads and tails hidden!" He roared unwillingly, and just wanted to swing his shield to smash Ai Ai, but he didn't expect Ai Ai to suddenly pull the sword out of his body at this time!

With a "brush" sound, blood splashed, and Douglas bowed in pain, just as another huge arrow from Fei Fei hit the riding shield in his right hand.

"Click!!"

The golden fighting spirit disintegrated like an exploding fire, and the sawdust flew in all directions, and when Douglas was hit hard, the brilliant armament had dissolved, and the fighting spirit had returned to an energy state, it was just a wooden riding shield wrapped in a thin layer of iron on the surface that was suddenly blown away!

However, the energy fighting spirit and the riding shield still played a somewhat blocking role, and after piercing through them, the giant arrow only broke through Douglas's breastplate, causing a small flesh wound on his chest and losing all strength.

It's just that even so, Douglas, who was injured one after another, couldn't hold on, and his eyes went black and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ai Ai quickly pulled up her cloak to cover her head and face, blocking all the sawdust, but when the sawdust storm was over and she raised her longsword again to give Douglas the final blow, the Templars who had just ducked into the nearby woods to avoid the arrows had already brandished their broadswords and rushed up with red eyes!

"Heresy, don't succeed!"

As a last resort, Ai Ai had to change her moves to deal with them.

At this point, on the treetops on the edge of the clearing.

Fei Fei shook her sore right hand a few times, the death fight with Douglas just now, the price she paid was not small, and now every time she opened the bow, her fingers and arms would be torn.

"Estelle, this guy is really useless!" Fei Fei pursed her lips, helpless, she still had to do the job of ending Douglas.

"Crunch~Crunch!" Fei Fei pulled the bowstring again, but it was lightning-fast and easy compared to before, and she was now struggling.

"Please, you're going to die under this arrow!"

After aiming the arrow at Douglas, who had fallen to the ground, Fifi let go of his fingers.

It's just that things in the world, those who are unsatisfactory are often eight out of ten (harmony) nine times out of ten, and Fei Fei failed to get her wish this time.

A deafening clashing sound of gold and iron sounded, sparks flew, and at this life-and-death juncture, a tall figure wearing plate chain composite armor rushed in front of Douglas, and also held a riding shield to take Fei Fei's giant arrow!

"How is this possible?!" Seeing her giant arrow being knocked away again, Fei Fei couldn't help but widen her delicate apricot eyes and exclaimed.

But you can't blame Fei Fei for being so out of shape, because that person has also condensed brilliant weapons!

Although this person's brilliant armament was still very crude, only the riding shield had been strengthened into a hideous and ugly mass that looked like flesh and blood, but judging from the appearance of the mounted shield that had become extremely thick, and the faint golden light emitted from it, there was no doubt that this was the brilliant armament!

Without waiting for Fei Fei to release the second arrow, the cavalry captain Jerry turned his head and shouted hoarsely at the other cavalry leader, Anderson:

"Anderson, what are you waiting for, order your men to quickly take the Knight Captain and the wounded brothers away, my team will be broken!"

Anderson, who was besieging Ai, jumped out of the battle circle when he heard this, and asked him nervously, "Then what are you going to do?!" ”

"Leave me alone, let's go!" Jerry shouted in tears.

"But ......" Anderson hesitated, knowing how many years old comrades-in-arms they were, how could he not know what kind of person Jerry was?

He said now that he was broken, but as long as anyone with normal intelligence understood that he had actually made up his mind to die, and planned to use his life to buy time for the robes to escape.

But the question is, how could he Anderson do such a thing by exchanging the lives of his comrades for a chance to live?

"Nothing!" Jerry was anxious, "I can't last long!" ”

Anderson glanced at the place where Jerry had stood, where a small discarded porcelain vase lay quietly on the grass.

There is no doubt that the reason why Jerry, who was originally only at the peak of the sixth level, was able to display his brilliant weapons now was because he had taken the holy medicine.

"Take care!"

He gritted his teeth, didn't waste any more time, turned around and ordered in a loud voice with red eyes: "Anderson Squad, take Captain Douglas and his wounded brother, and retreat!" ”

The Templars of Anderson's squad hesitated to look at their captain.

"Are you deaf? I said take Captain Douglas and the wounded brother and retreat! Anderson yelled again.

The knights of Anderson's squad didn't hesitate any longer, they left Ai Ai and rushed towards Douglas and the robes who still looked alive, then picked them up and placed them on their mounts, turned over their horses, and followed their captain Anderson into the forest path that Douglas had opened up earlier.

During this process, Jerry kept his shield to cover Douglas, who was already unconscious, and no matter how sore the hand holding the shield was by the giant arrow, he did not take a step back.

It's just that he can't take care of the others......

But in fact, Fei Fei really has no intention of attacking others, this girl seems to be on the same page with the brilliant shield today, just desperately firing arrows at Jerry, trying to shatter his shield!

After seeing that Douglas and the wounded had left unharmed, Jerry shouted to his subordinates:

"You guys go too, leave it to me here!"

The Templars, who had already suffered heavy losses, looked at each other for a moment and said:

"No, we're not leaving, Captain Bartlet, we'll be where you are!"

Jerry wiped his slightly moist eyes, and shouted again: "If you don't leave, I will die in front of you now!" ”

As he spoke, he slammed the great sword in his right hand to his neck.

The Templars had no choice but to jump out of the circle and charge towards their mounts, while Jerry held his shield and sword in front of Ai Ai, who was trying to chase him.

"Heretic, if you want to hunt down my robe, you have to step over my corpse first!"

"Shh Ai Ai glanced at the backs of the Templars behind Jerry with regret, knowing that if she was given three more minutes, she would be able to finish them all!

"You're looking for death!" She stared at Jerry with cold eyes and said in a cold tone.

"Haha!" Jerry grinned and said freely: "As long as I can save the lives of the robes, I, Jerry Bartlet, will have no regrets even if I die!" ”

With that, he swung his sword and pounced!

Ai Ai gritted her teeth, and had to pick herself up to deal with Jerry's attack.

Although this person concentrated most of the fighting energy in his body on the riding shield in his left hand in order to resist Fei Fei's giant arrows, condensing it into a thick brilliant shield, but after all, he now has the level of seventh-level fighting energy, and he is not an opponent who can be ignored!

A quarter of an hour later.

With a "click", after hitting Fei Fei's more than 30 arrows, the thick brilliant shield was finally shattered!

Fragments of golden Dou Qi burst out in all directions, dissipating before they lingered in the air for long.

Jerry was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground, he looked up at Ai Ai who was slowly approaching, but a smug smile appeared on his face:

"I made it!"

Ai Ai looked at him with a sinking face, although this person was an enemy, but he was awe-inspiring.

"Do you have any other wishes?" She asked faintly.

Jerry shook his head, "I can't say yes, I can't say no, I just want to be in charge of my own life." ”

"You mean?" Ai Ai frowned.

"That's right." Jerry slung his broadsword across his neck. "Is that okay?"

Ai Ai took a step back, turned her head, and motioned for him to take care of himself.

It's just that before committing suicide, Jerry said something more.

"Girl, I don't know how old you are, so let me call you girl! I don't understand why we and you elves are both believers in the goddess of creation, so why do we have to kill each other? Can't you give us the forbidden spell? We want to get it, and we just want the gospel of the goddess to spread throughout the world as soon as possible! Isn't that what you want? ”

Hearing this, Ai Ai turned her head suddenly.

Only by this time, Jerry had already wiped his neck with his sword.

Looking at Jerry, who was already lying on the ground, with red blood gushing out of his neck, Ai Ai shook his head and sighed softly:

"You are wrong, we elves are not believers in goddesses, but only servants. Let the Gospel of the Goddess spread throughout the world? We wouldn't do that unless it was commanded by the goddess herself, as for your teachings? ”

She glanced at the bodies of the Templars lying lying on the ground in the small clearing, a hint of pity on her beautiful face.

"That's just your own words, not the will of the goddess.1 ――

Note 1: In the minds of most people in the Open Heaven Continent, the elves and the humans of the Western Continent are followers of the Messiah, the goddess of creation, but in fact, they are not. The elves have always claimed to be the most loyal servants of the goddess, not believers. They never believed in the teachings of the Holy See in the Western Continent, but only obeyed the orders of the goddess. And the last command that the goddess left them nearly 5,000 years ago was to make the Origin Mountains their home and recuperate. Of course, it is precisely because of this that they are regarded as [heretics] by the Creation God Sect in the Western Continent.
