Chapter 128: Lineup
"Are you willing to show up when you run out of cannon fodder, you people in the Bright Sect are really ruthless!" Baron Cook said coldly, holding his abdomen stabbed by the fish-man guard trident. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In order to get rid of the two fish-man guards before the people of the Holy See of Light intervened, Baron Cook also paid some price. Especially when killing the first Fishman Guard, in order to ensure a successful kill, Baron Cook ignored the attack of the other Fishman Guard, and as a result, the Fighting Qi defense was pierced and injured in the abdomen.
"Isn't it normal for them to take the benefits of our Bright Sect and have to contribute to our Bright Sect?" Elston glanced at the corpse on the ground and said lightly.
For the Holy See of Light, there have never been any real allies, all they need is useful cannon fodder. Before, Baron Cook was guarding the Snow Dragon Pass, and the Holy See of Light could not make a move openly, and needed the help of barbarians and fishmen, so the Holy See of Light was more generous. Now that Baron Cook has been teleported to the deserted North Continent, the people of the Holy See of Light can do it themselves, and they no longer need the cooperation of barbarians and fishmen, so they naturally use them as cannon fodder to consume Baron Cook.
In fact, after seeing Baron Cook's prowess in a life-and-death battle, Elston was glad that he had decided to use the barbarians and fishmen as cannon fodder. If it weren't for the barbarians and fishmen who had given him a chance to complete the arrangement, Elston doubted that he would have been able to leave Baron Cook alone this time. And once Baron Cook, a master with advanced legendary potential, escapes, even if he takes the Elson Kingdom, the Holy See of Light will be in big trouble in the future.
"It seems that the benefits of your Bright Holy See are really not easy to take!" Baron Cook sneered, turned to the open space to the east and said, "Earl Newman, you have heard the words of Bishop Elston. The second prince is proud now, and in the future, he will probably have to pay the price for the benefits he got before, just like the barbarians and the fishmen!"
"Baron Cook is worthy of being a soldier, and at this time, he still wants to sow discord. However, His Highness Steven is of human origin, which is completely different from these alien races. The cooperation between us is genuine. Elston's face changed slightly, and he quickly explained.
Although the follow-up plan for overthrowing Steven has been prepared, at this stage, the Holy See of Light cannot leave Steven alone. If Steven is provoked by the other party and something happens, it will be very detrimental to the follow-up plan of the Bright Sect.
"I'm sorry, Baron Cook, but I was just acting on orders. I can only obey the decision of His Royal Highness the Prince. Under the gaze of Baron Cook, a figure in black armor appeared on the left side of Baron Cook, and after bowing slightly to Baron Cook, the strongest master under the command of the second prince Steven said very calmly.
Everyone knows the ambitions of the Holy See of Light, but Steven is confident that he can control the power of the Holy See of Light, and as Steven's retainer, Newman can't say anything, so he can only do his best to assist Steven.
"I understand that. It's just that in the end, I have to fight with you for life and death, and I feel a little emotional. After taking a deep look at Earl Newman, Baron Cook held the flaming fangs and said lightly.
was forced to have a life-and-death duel with Earl Newman, the master of the Elson Kingdom, and Baron Cook was actually a little unwilling.
In terms of age, Baron Cook and Earl Newman are not much different, they can be regarded as people of the same era. But the growth paths of the two are completely different, and they rarely intersect with each other.
Baron Cook was born into a noble family, received formal training at an early age, and when he became an adult, he inherited the family business early, controlled the military power, and eventually became a major general of the royal family. In his early years, he had been a mercenary and wandered all over the world, until he became a master of the silver pinnacle, and was recruited by the second prince, and with the help of the second prince, he advanced to the gold level and got the false title of a court earl.
Originally, with the difference in the growth experience of the two and the difference in their respective camps, there should be no friendship between the two, and they should even be enemies of each other. But after two matches with Newman, the two who are not much different in strength have a vague feeling of sympathy for each other. Although the two could not really become friends due to the difference in their camps, they did not see each other as enemies.
However, this hidden tacit understanding in the heart was finally broken by the cruel reality. As a retainer of the second prince, Earl Newman finally appeared on the battlefield to kill Baron Cook and became Baron Cook's enemy of life and death.
"Actually, if Baron Cook is willing to convert to the God of Light, in fact, many things can still be discussed, and it doesn't have to be a life-and-death fight. Looking at Baron Cook and Earl Newman, who were silently facing each other, Elston suddenly smiled and said.
"Do you really think you've won the battle, Bishop Elston?" asked Baron Cook, a frown, with a hint of disdain.
"I know that Baron Cook, your strength is amazing, and those barbarians and fishmen have proved your strength Baron Cook with their lives. But Baron Cook, you're only one man, after all, and you're wounded now. Elston said calmly: "Against us, you have no chance of winning. ā
"But what if I escape, only the two of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep me, right?" Baron Cook said lightly as he observed the surrounding spell enchantment with his 'peep into the magic eye'.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Baron Cook and the fish-man to fight before, Elston and other masters of the Holy See of Light had already arranged a magic circle around him, which could not only prevent Baron Cook from breaking through, but also block the surrounding space. Even if Baron Cook now has a spatial teleportation scroll on him, it is no longer usable. If you want to get out, you can only look for the weak point of the circle, and then break through head-on.
"Of course it's not just us. How can we be so big against a master like you, Baron Cook?" Elston smiled, and three knights in white armor appeared to the west of Baron Cook.
"Three Paladins of Light, you are really willing to pay for it!" Seeing the armor with the golden sun mark on the three of them, Baron Cook's eyes twitched slightly, and his expression became more solemn.
The Holy See of Light dominates one side, known as the first force of the human race, in addition to the Pope, who is known as the strongest demigod, the most core force, in fact, there are only two, one is the Cardinal Council composed of Legendary Priests, and the other is the Holy Knights, known as the strongest sword of the Holy See. And these two forces also correspond to the two most powerful professions of the Holy See of Light, the priest and the paladin.
The so-called paladin is a composite class unique to the Church of the Gods, which can be regarded as an evolved version of the warrior. These people themselves are powerful warriors, but because of the blessings of the gods, they can use their own fighting spirit to perform some special magic skills. Like the paladins of the Holy See of Light, while using various combat skills of warriors, they also have the ability to exorcise evil spirits, heal, and bless others, which is very versatile, and their combat power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary warriors.
In fact, if he faced a paladin of the same rank alone, Baron Cook would not care very much. Although the paladin's abilities are comprehensive, there are not many abilities that can be used at the same time during battle. Relying on his superb martial arts, he is enough to suppress the other party.
But when facing a squad of three paladins, Baron Cook didn't dare to be careless. Because the most troublesome thing about the Paladin's profession is actually the mutual blessing they have after forming a team. Each paladin can only use one type of aura, which does not have a big impact on the battle situation, but when three paladins activate three different auras at the same time, the effect of the blessing is enough to affect the outcome of the battle.
And what's even more terrifying is that because of the cultivation of the same kind of fighting spirit and believing in the same god, the fighting spirit between real paladins can be connected to each other. This also means that a truly mature paladin team can pool the strength of its members and play attacks beyond their own rank. And this is also the reason why there are not many legendary-level masters in the Holy Knights, but they are known as the strongest sword in the Holy See.
However, fortunately, although the Paladin profession is powerful, it is very difficult to transfer and promote, requiring not only the cultivator to have an extremely strong warrior talent, but also an extremely pious faith, as well as a fairly good perception talent. There are very few seedlings that can meet three conditions at the same time, so the number of paladins has not been very large all this time. In particular, knights who can advance to the Golden Rank and become the main force of the Holy Knights are even rarer.
Of course, correspondingly, being able to become a paladin of the gold rank is definitely not a weak person in itself. Even if it can't compare to the pinnacle of the Golden Rank like Baron Cook, it will definitely not be weaker than Gultai and their barbarian chieftains. And the three of them joining forces are definitely enough to crush the four of Gurtai. Coupled with Elston, the priest at the peak of the Golden Rank, this lineup is indeed enough to make the vast majority of Gold Rank masters desperate.
"It turns out that you are worthy of this preparation, Baron Cook. And our preparations are not limited to this, there are also people on the side of Xuelong Pass who are specifically looking for Miss Elisa. Elston said calmly, "Now, Baron Cook, do you want to consider my proposal?"
Although he knew that the takedown was unlikely, Elston made a final effort. This is not his personal appreciation of Baron Cook, but the meaning of the higher echelons of the Holy See of Light.
In the context of the rising tide of demons and the beginning of the loosening of the laws, the Bright Sect is doing its best to recruit strong people with advanced legend qualifications. And Baron Cook is undoubtedly a strong man who meets this condition.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Bishop, although I am not the most devout believer in the God of War, but I have no intention of converting to the God of Light. Baron Cook gripped the flaming fangs and said lightly.
"Are you even at risk of your daughter's life for the sake of Elson's royal family?" said Elston, frowning.
"My daughter is taken care of and I am relieved of that person. Baron Cook raised his flaming fangs and aimed them at Elston. "As for the rest, let's talk with knives and guns!"
