Chapter Ninety-Five: The Power of the Paladin
On the plains outside Leighton.
Agner was taken aback when he saw me appear with a pair of big panda eyes, and in order to show his great respect for the friend of the God of Light, he immediately came up and asked with concern, "Is it because I arranged a place for you to rest well?" โ
In his opinion, a ruler of a powerful civilization who can sit on an equal footing with the gods is quite normal to live in a mortal palace, but he can't understand why I am the only one present with big dark circles under my eyes, while the other girls all look full of energy.
"It's okay," I said, looking up to the sky and waving my hand, "I'm just a little insomnia." โ
Insomnia, I haven't slept well all night!
Maybe it's the sudden gift caused by the spike in favorability.,The little bubble, which was already very sticky, showed a more sticky character after playing with the crystal decoration for a long time.,That night I made an amazing decision to sleep with her.,This decision naturally got a shallow strong opposition.,But no one thought that the most well-behaved little bubble once he made up his mind to become the most difficult little guy to deal with.,No matter how much you persuade you, you won't sleep obediently as usual., After the end, considering that Little Bubbles was just a little child who had left his mother, it was also understandable to do so, and he finally reluctantly agreed, but he didn't expect that Little Bubbles' side had just been resolved, and the second trouble appeared again.
It turned out to be Pandora......
It turned out to be the most unlikely Pandora!
This feeling is like in a shoddy and brain-dead film and television drama, a perennial passer-by A character who is unknown in the first half and inactive in the middle half suddenly transforms into the ultimate villain boss who makes the world change color and shake the world and heroes from all walks of life gather to fight against it, from the audience to the protagonist.
If there was anyone in this world who could make Pandora, a little guy who was indifferent to everything, jealous, it was the little bubble that suddenly appeared and snatched half of her allotment and half of her brother's arms.
With a rather tough attitude, Pandora forcibly carried her bed to my room and went straight into "prevention and dissuasion mode" without receiving any outside information.
In this regard, even Asa and her sister feel helpless.
None of them are willing to speak ill of Pandora or Little Bubbles, in other words, the only one they are willing to bully is me......
Although both of them are little Loli who have not developed at all, although they are only the existence of my sister to me, although the mind of one of them is not even much stronger than that of a three-year-old child, although ...... Even though there are so many of them, I still can't sleep all night!!
It's not that I really have any evil thoughts about them, it's that Pandora and Bubbles kept tossing and turning all night, first Bubbles pestering me to tell her stories, and then Pandora pestering me to tell me stories (military...... Then they had a disagreement over who should get more lollipops, and then they ...... It's just fighting each other for no reason, and even though it's just a little conflict between two little girls, it's enough to kill my sleep completely......
So now I'm going to appear in front of you as a national treasure.
Little Bubbles and Pandora also seemed to realize the consequences of their momentary frustration, and now they stood behind me honestly, looking like good babies, but to be honest, I didn't care at all, and was overjoyed that Pandora suddenly showed the childishness of a normal little girlโof course, it would be perfect if they could play in a different way in the future.
Hearing that I was fine, Agna couldn't ask anything, so he ordered his various masters in this area to prepare.
Before this, Agner had already done a good job of keeping the scene secret, not only sending troops to disperse the civilians who might pass nearby, but also letting a dozen Magister-level court mages release a huge illusion enchantment that enveloped the entire small plain, so he was not worried that this military exercise would disturb the civilians at all.
However, I doubt that the rudimentary illusion barrier can withstand the onslaught of space cannons and various Xiling energy weapons......
It is said that it is an exchange of strength, but the main purpose is to show their strongest combat power, and to facilitate the combat cooperation between each other is on the surface, in the final analysis, it is actually the ruler of the Odo Empire who hopes to witness the strong strength of the Apostle of Xiling with his own eyes, anyway, as long as he does not see it with his own eyes, the ruler of the Odo Empire cannot fully believe that we can really block tens of thousands of demonized creatures and a demonic source that can destroy a small country, even if Agna himself is willing to trust us, If we don't show that we're strong enough, I'm afraid his generals and ministers won't agree to put the future of the entire country in the hands of a group of strangers with suspicious identities.
Under the command of a few heralds, the Iron Cross Holy Knights, the proudest royal guard of the Odo Empire, quickly assembled and formed a neat phalanx in front of us.
I have to admit that the Iron Cross is indeed a well-trained elite force that can be called the first military strength of the Odo Empire, and the two thousand people gathered in front of us are wearing heavy silver full-body armor that only shows a pair of eyes, holding a half-body shield completely made of Arcane Iron in their left hand, and a silver Arcane hammer with a length of one and a half meters in their right hand, because the density of Arcane Iron is greater than that of ordinary steel, this full-body equipment is said to weigh half a ton, if it weren't for the fact that every warrior of Iron Cross has the power of Holy Light, Being able to use the strengthening of the body by the Holy Light to greatly increase one's physical strength, it is simply impossible for a human to use this powerful but amazingly heavy equipment.
This is also the strength of the Iron Cross, and each of them holds the Light.
Although the healing power of the Holy Light on life is far less than the divine power of life, it is also enough to bring the dead back to life after all, although the warriors spend most of their time exercising in the flesh, and it is impossible to master too advanced light magic, but even if they can only use the simplest strengthening and healing techniques, it is enough for an ordinary warrior to exert amazing strength on the battlefield.
Think about it, a warrior who is fully equipped with plate armor and a giant hammer and heavy shield, each of them has amazing melee offensive and defensive abilities, and when you finally pass through their armor made of steel plates to cause them a little damage, they can use healing techniques to quickly recover their injuries, and when you plan to fight a protracted battle with them, they can use the Holy Light Power to restore their physical strength for themselves, and what's more, the Holy Light Power is a power derived from faith, and the consumption of magic is almost negligible, an Iron Cross warrior with strong faith, It is even possible to fight continuously for three days and three nights with high intensity under the blessing of the Holy Light......
Can fight can add can resist, dps nurse tank trinity, how obscene will it be...... Ahem, mighty troops!
At the signal of the herald, the paladins first demonstrated the simplest formation and fighting skills, the heavy equipment with a weight of half a ton did not affect the actions of these knights at all, the huge hammer and shield waved in their hands, as light as a feather, and the white light formed by the holy light floated on the armor, making these tall warriors as powerful as the gods of war.
Then, thousands of captured demonized creatures were released.
Thousands of demonized creatures, although there are no strong units such as corrupt dragons in them, but all of them are mid-level monsters, placed in front of other armies, without the assistance of city defense buildings and magicians, it is enough to wipe out tens of thousands of elite warriors, but in front of these paladins, they only lasted less than 30 minutes!
Every swing of the heavy hammer would cause a demonized creature to be severely injured, and then the ensuing powerful Holy Light Power would enter their bodies through their wounds, completely purifying the Abyssal Power from the inside, causing these demonized creatures to turn into black ash in the wail.
At the same time, the Abyss Heavy Armor, which was originally able to resist the erosion of the abyss, combined with the blessing of the Holy Light, also completely resisted the attack of demonized creatures, and the abyssal energy that could corrode the opponent from the body to the spirit could not affect the paladins of the Iron Cross at all, if more than a dozen demonized creatures played together, it might be possible to make a paladin be corroded, but these monsters that have burned out their brains obviously do not have such intelligence.
When all the monsters had been destroyed, Agner nodded to me with a proud expression.
No wonder the Odo Empire can resist the attack of the abyss, compared to the life divine power of auxiliary nature greater than the offensive nature, the holy light is indeed more suitable for use in this kind of frontal battlefield, I roughly analyzed it, these powerful paladins already have the qualifications to compete with ordinary Xiling warriors, but that's all, they are still not comparable with the army of the Xiling Empire, after all, the training of paladins is quite difficult and time-consuming, while ordinary Xiling warriors can be produced from the assembly line, more importantly, The paladins can already be said to be the top combat power in this world outside of the saint-rank monsters, and those ordinary Xiling soldiers who have no sanity are consumables like bullets to the empire.
Despite this, the strength of these paladins is still worthy of recognition, they are already enough to resist the ordinary abyssal power, and the abyss that requires the army of the Xiling Empire to dispatch is still very small after all.
Even more gratifying, because of Alayer's "teachings" to Pope Mellon (which still feels unnatural to me...... The stubborn old man finally agreed to unite with the Goddess of Life Cult to resist the invasion of the abyss, and finally it was not in vain that a bug profession like a paladin was not wasted.
