Chapter 11: Divine Might
In an instant, Jerry had already guessed who he had bumped into.
There were not many women in this team, and there were not many girls, and among the few girls, the only one he had never seen was the Holy Highness - Catherine!
He never thought that he would see each other in this situation, and he was hit by his own back.
Of course, the current situation is not without benefits, because someone has attacked, and his offense is understandable.
However, what made Jerry stunned for a moment was not the offense to the saint, nor the fact that Lord Catherine did not immediately scold him, but the pair of eyes he saw.
What kind of eyes are that?
Obviously angry, but still clear and transparent. Danger is imminent, but it's so calm that it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.
Clarity belongs to the immaturity of age, and calmness belongs to the sophistication of the mind. This is a conflict that is difficult to appear at the same time, but it is presented in the eyes of the other party.
Especially, such a gaze was still so familiar to Jerry, because he himself - it was like this!
But his own situation is too special, and the two lives of people make him have a mind far beyond his peers at the age of fourteen, so what about the other party?
Jerry couldn't imagine what Catherine had gone through to make her so calm and normal in the face of such a scene, facing a sixth-level warrior with great strength.
And this kind of peace is definitely not something that can be obtained because someone protects you!
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
The voice rang out, and it was the captain of the guard, Andrew, who knelt down on one knee.
There was obviously anger burning in his body, today was the first time he had gone out to explore the road in person, but he didn't expect that as soon as he was sure that there was no problem ahead, the camp behind him was attacked.
Catherine's face was not surprised or happy, but she said calmly: "Go, no more casualties." ”
Andrew's shoulders trembled slightly, and then he replied firmly: "Obey the order!"
Then he stood up and nodded to Jerry before rushing out like thunder, which was clearly a sign of approval.
Andrew's gaze stunned Jerry, he felt that he had done nothing, but instead offended Her Highness the Holy Maiden, until he looked down and saw the big shield that had just fallen to the ground, and he gasped!
Adam's strength was not weak, but he still couldn't withstand the full force of the sixth-level warrior, but when he saw Catherine get out of the carriage and was almost knocked down by the shield-wielding Jerry, he was completely angry.
With a flick of the long sword, the unique silver fighting aura of the Temple of Light almost wrapped him into a ball of light, and Adam actually fought with the sixth-level warrior in a completely offensive posture.
This guy is completely fighting for the death, it seems that the other party is just a sixth-level warrior, even an invincible paladin, and he can't let him back down in the slightest in this state.
Boom -
Another sword fell, and Adam's chest spilled a terrifying rain of blood, slamming into the ground.
Obviously, anger and fighting spirit can't make up for the difference in strength, even if he bursts out with stronger strength than usual, he is still not an opponent of a sixth-level warrior.
But it was precisely because of his sudden outburst that Andrew bought time to rush back in time.
The sixth-level warrior let out a soft sigh when he realized that he had not been able to slash Adam to death with a single sword, and then planned to make up for it with a sword to send Adam back to heaven completely, but suddenly found that he could not find the trace of the target.
Not only him, but the other two attackers with good strength were already about to break into the camp, but they also lost their immediate targets at the same time.
The people who had fought them in front of them were all gone, leaving only an overwhelming white light, and now the only one left that could be seen clearly was a temple warrior with a sword and shield in heavy armor.
If the light of the fighting spirit on Adam's body is as mellow and soft as the moonlight, then the fighting energy he is drumming up at this time is as bright and dazzling as the sun!
"Divine radiance! no! it's a defender!"
The sixth-level warrior was shocked, with his strength, it was easy to deal with Adam, who was only a fourth-level, but if there was a temple warrior of the same level, what he should consider was whether he could run away.
And now the divine light used by Andrew was like the sun rising in the night sky, so that he could no longer see anything else in his eyes, and it also made him instantly understand that the other party had surpassed the rank of warrior and stepped into the realm of defenders.
Confronting a defender head-on, if he dared to do so, it would only be said that his brain was broken.
Run!
The sixth-level warrior actually left his two companions behind, turned around and rushed out in the direction he remembered.
Andrew didn't chase after him, because there was no need for it.
He snorted coldly, raised the long sword he was holding in one hand, and slashed down with a loud shout.
A sword bolt pierced the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with the fleeing sixth-level warrior.
The other party's reaction was also fast enough, and at the moment when he couldn't make a move, he turned around and slashed a sword with a wild scream.
If he can't stop it, he will die, but if he can block it, he will live, and maybe he can escape faster because of the collision of forces.
But apparently, his resistance was only in vain!
The sword glowing with holy silver destroyed his weapon in the blink of an eye, and exploded his chest in his death-fearful gaze.
Thump!
Heaven and earth were clear, the dazzling brilliance disappeared completely, and the pierced corpse of the sixth-level warrior also fell to the ground with a bang.
Watching Andrew walk back, Jerry's eyes looked like two kerosene lamps had been lit.
Whether it was the dazzling divine brilliance of that move just now or the subsequent sword slashing of the top warriors, it was an eye-opener for him. Before today, he had never thought that the martial arts of the Warrior series could be so powerful and gorgeous, and it didn't seem to be much worse than the divine magic he longed for!
If he had to give Andrew an evaluation, all he could think of was four words - Shenwei is invincible!
Of course, just Andrew's gorgeous performance didn't make Jerry change his ambition, and he still set himself the goal of "the most powerful priest". It's just that he now feels that it doesn't seem so unacceptable to practice the skills of the warrior line well...... Except for that one trick of divine brilliance.
Light himself up to blind the enemy's eyes, or is there some deeper mystery that makes the enemy temporarily lose their attention? Jerry doesn't have the eyesight to see the real and the false, he just thinks that if this trick is used on another battlefield, the only result will be to lure all the enemies over and beat him up.
From this point of view, it is more appropriate to call it a battlefield group mockery technique than a divine brilliance, which is unacceptable to him who takes never suffering a loss as his creed.
As for playing handsome alone...... That's a different story.
Unbeknownst to Jerry, Jerry was disparaging one of his proudest moves, and he was looking at the other two corpses in silence.
The two attackers were also affected by the divine light, but it was not the direct cause of their deaths.
The temple warriors who arrived broke their hands and feet when the two of them lost their minds, clearly intending to capture them alive, but they did not expect them to be so decisive, and at the same time they gritted their fangs and committed suicide by poisoning.
Sitting next to the two corpses was the bright silver shield from before, but the shield, which had been shining not long ago, had now turned completely black. In the middle of the shield, a large pit has been corroded, and the thinnest part is only a little bit to penetrate it!
Jerry was the only reserve standing here, having used the shield and coincidentally blocking the vial they threw at Catherine.
It can be said that, at least in the result, it was he who protected His Highness. And if it wasn't for his mistake at that time, even Andrew, who hurried back, would not have had time.
Even the heavy shield was almost corroded to the point of penetration, and if it exploded on a person's body, the consequences would be absolutely conceivable. That's why Andrew gave him a thumbs up and why he deserves to stand here.
"How?"
"It's a terrible poison, it should be the same group last time!"
Listening to the discussion of several temple warriors, a similar assassination had already occurred once before, and Jerry, who was still a little afraid, couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Who are they?"
The warriors of the temple all shook their heads, and Adam, who was sitting on the ground bandaging his wounds, said, "I don't know, and no one knows. ”
"How so?" Jerry exclaimed, but when he saw the two corpses on the ground, he suddenly came to his senses again.
If these people are so ruthless and commit suicide immediately after a failed attack, then it is indeed not easy to find out where they came from. People who can even commit suicide so decisively are even less likely to find any valuable clues in them.
However, there is one more thing that Jerry can't figure out, the other party will obviously not assassinate these reservists they picked up from the street, and it is unlikely that it will be Andrew them, after all, before Andrew showed his strength, the other party did not know that he was an extremely powerful defender.
The only possibility is that the other party intends to assassinate Catherine, the Holy Maiden of the Temple, but how serious is the assassination of the Holy Maiden?
If it's the first time I've encountered it, it's understandable because I'm not prepared.
But this is not the case, the same assassination has happened before, and it is still the same group of people, Andrew They don't know vigilance, don't know how to beware?
Even if they were rough men who could only fight, didn't the temple say anything about it? Jerry really didn't believe that in this country where divine power was more powerful than royal power, the temple couldn't even do such a thing.
In his opinion, if the temple was really willing to do it, no matter where those people were hiding, no matter how well they hid, there was absolutely no possibility of escape.
Andrew didn't answer Jerry's question, his face was ugly.
But another voice rang out, unfazed and crisp and pleasant.
"Because ten years have passed since that incident, and the temple will not interfere until I become a true saint. ”
