His strength is unquestionable, and his faith is unquestionable. In fact, Ryuichi retains his own consciousness, and only when needed, Ryuichi will control him with his own consciousness. And he wouldn't realize that it was Ryuichi controlling him at all, and he would always think that it was his own will.

In this way, the Ascended formed an army of their own.

Seeing this happen, Ryder Jon almost wanted to laugh. Ryuichi was a genius, and he would quickly seize any opportunity, and Irma didn't even realize how dangerous it was. As the owner of the Ancient Mage's Tower, he should never allow a second army to appear, especially if this army is not yet under his control.

Of course, Ledjon would never tell Irma about this, and even if he did, Irma might not care.

In the blink of an eye, the agreed challenge has arrived.

One hundred Templars of the Ascendant, one hundred and a half madmen of Rydjon. In fact, at first, Irma meant to let Rydjon go directly to the Sombra mage, but Rydjon shook his head, he told Irma that those Sombra mages were very strong, and if they were sent up directly, if the Ascendant lost, wouldn't it affect the relationship between him and Irma?

Irma thought it made sense, so she didn't interfere.

Here, a hundred and a half mad demons are ready under the leadership of a former bandit leader and current battlefield commander.

On the other side, under the leadership of the chief Templar, the hundred red-robed Templars looked coldly ahead.

Irma gave the order, and the battle began. Originally, he thought he would fight a little for a few rounds. But from the very beginning, the Templars had unleashed mana resonance. Then they raised their hands at the same time, and red light erupted from their palms. The one hundred and a half mad demons in front of them didn't even have a chance to struggle, and they were swept down in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the half-mad demons had become pure mad demons, and these mad demons were just about to rush forward. The Templar chief suddenly roared, and a huge roar shattered all the crystals at once, and then all the Templars fired powerful rays from their palms, crushing all the crystal nuclei that were still trying to reassemble the crystals in mid-air.

Two rounds, a completely crushing victory.

Despite the loss of a hundred and a half madmen. But Irma was very happy, for he could feel the strength of the Templars. And the strength of the Templars is, of course, the strength of his Ancient Mage Tower. Compared to the unsuccessful half-madmen, these Templars were clearly a better fit for themselves.

"Yes, I underestimated you, and I apologize to you. "But then, be careful!"

Ryderjon graciously admitted his defeat, which was in fact the one everyone expected. Because the combat effectiveness of the half-mad demon is not high. This kind of thing is almost obvious to all. In most cases, the half-mad demon needs to gain an advantage by quickly entering the mana resonance state. The characteristic of the Mana Resonance state is that the more units enter the resonance state at the same time, the power that Mana Resonance can provide will be greatly increased. The result was in the battle just now. The Templars were the first to enter a state of mana resonance, and victory was naturally devastating.

What really surprised Irma was that these Templars were able to enter a state of mana resonance. To know. Mana Resonance is a very precise spell that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Long Yi relied on the magic circle in the holy armor to precisely trigger the resonance of mana. The half-mad demon relies on crystal poison to precisely trigger mana resonance. And just now, those Templars actually caused a mana resonance. What is this for? Faith?

Irma suppressed the doubts in her heart, and he must ask clearly. But at least for now, mana resonance means getting stronger, and getting stronger means getting closer to the distance between yourself and Ryuichi, it's just perfect!

The Sombra mages came into play, and this time the commander was well aware of the fate of the other party. So from the very beginning, he immediately ordered all the Sombra mages to enter the state of mana resonance, and this time, at least from the scene, the pressure caused by the two mana forces was almost equal.

This already excites Irma, who knows very well that pure madness plus a Sombra mage in the state of dragon scales. In fact, the combat power is still limited, especially the lack of intelligence is a problem, but the Templars have no such concerns.

The battle began, and the two sides quickly exchanged a wave of spells, and this time neither side was able to take advantage. The Templars had significantly higher attack power, but the Sombra Mages greatly reduced the damage of their spells with their dragon scale armor. The Sombra mages were slightly less powerful in their spells, while the Templars relied entirely on their mana to resist each other's arguments.

Under the first wave of spells, the two sides were completely tied.

And at this time, it is time to embody the tactics of the commanders of both sides.

The Sombra Mage, on his side, still maintains a pirate-style play, using quick spells to consume the enemy, and then attacking when he has accumulated a certain level of advantage. It's a flawless style of play that may not result in a quick victory, but there is definitely time to retreat quickly when things don't go well.

The Templars, on the other hand, used a very classical tactic, employing entirely positional warfare, abandoning individual flexibility and relying on group superiority to concentrate on the opponent's lone enemy.

"Ascendant, I don't know how it was tens of thousands of years ago, but positional warfare is no longer popular. Ryderjon said suddenly.

Beside her, Irma immediately pricked up her ears, waiting for the Ascendant's response.

"I don't know what tactics are in vogue right now, but this kind of positional warfare is the most suitable for them. Long Yi said with a smile.

"I heard that the Ascendant is Ryuichi's teacher?" Ryderjon asked again.

"Yes, he used to learn from me. Long Yi said.

"So does Lord Ascendant think that Ryuichi is so powerful because of your knowledge, or is it because of his own genius?" asked Ryderjon suddenly.

"That's an interesting question. Ryuichi shook his head and said, "Ryuichi is a rare genius, I must admit that. But without my knowledge. Even a genius can't become a strong man on his own, right?"

Ryderjon nodded. He said, "Your words are really wise words, so what do you think of Master Elma's genius?"

Long smiled: "Elma's genius level is slightly inferior to Long Yi. ”

Irma was immediately dissatisfied. Is it better for Long Yi to know you earlier? How can you say that I am inferior to him?

"But there is one thing about him that Ryuichi can't do. Ryuichi continued.

"Oh, what is it?" asked Rydjon.

"Diligent. Long Yi said seriously.

"Diligent?"

"Yes, the Ryuichi I know is a genius, but it is precisely because of his genius that he has lost his diligence. He studied with me for many years, but he didn't really learn much from me. If he had learned all my knowledge, he might have destroyed me before you even met me. ”

Hearing this, Elma's eyes lit up.

It turns out that Long Yi hasn't fully learned the abilities of the Ascendant! But even so, he is already so strong! If I can learn all his abilities, wouldn't it be even stronger?

The battle on the battlefield is still inseparable, and no one can help anyone for a while, with completely steady tactics and pirate-style tactics. But a discerning person can immediately see that the Knights Templar seem to have more stamina. And it seems that their power continues to rise as time goes on.

"Is this the power of faith?" asked Ledjon then.

"Yes, they believe in me, and my power can be applied to them in turn. Long Yi said.

"Like a contract?"

"No, it's the rules, the rules of the Ascendant, and the rules powerful enough to challenge the authority of the giants. Long Yi sighed, raised his head at a forty-five degree angle and looked up at the sky, a look of loneliness and nostalgia appeared on his face.

"So. Can I get that kind of power, too?" said Ledjon, who seemed a little moved.

"Of course, as long as you truly believe in me. Long Yi lowered his head and said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'm free. Ryderjon said.

At this time, the battlefield changed again. The Sombra Mage of Pirate Tactics has significantly decreased its combat effectiveness. Movement began to be less flexible, and the fighting style of the Templars in positional warfare remained steady and hardly unchanged.

"We surrender. It's you who win. Ryderjon said.

"How, do you know what you want to know?" said Ryuichi with a smile.

"Yes. I think I know. Ryderjon said.

"You're an interesting person, and I think there's a lot of bond between you and me. Will you be my apostle?" asked Ryuichi.

"No, I don't think so, I have a lot of things to do yet, and I don't have time to preach the faith for you. Ryder Jon refused.

"No, it doesn't matter, I have time. Ryuichi smiled mysteriously and left.

He's Ryuichi! That's right!

Now, Ryder Jon can be completely sure of the guess in his mind!

Irma looked at Ryderjon excitedly, and the victory just now confirmed that Irma's judgment was correct from another side. Rydjon nodded and said, "I must admit that the Ascended Lord is temporarily stronger than me in terms of wisdom and strength. But that doesn't mean I really fully recognize his place in the Ancient Mage Tower, and the commander of the army can only be me. ”

Irma laughed, "So you're worried about this? I think you could have put all your worries back in your stomach, because the Ascendant is not interested in these things, as he did to all the believers." ”

Ryderjon was stunned, "What did he say to the believers?"

Irma thought for a moment, and then said in the tone of the Imitator Ascendant, "I don't ask you to believe in me, and the power you have gained by believing in me has not been given by me, it is only the power of ascension that you have received in exchange for your faith. ”

Irma laughed, and Rydjon laughed too. (To be continued......)
