Chapter 173: The Holy See's Hole Cards

After the unification, the Blood Clan did not take the initiative to attack the Holy See, but at Wang Yu's request, most of the members gathered in a dark holy place located on an island in the Atlantic Ocean and began the process of collective retreat and cultivation.

The reason why Wang Yu had this request was mainly to see if the exercises modified by himself were suitable for each blood clan, whether they would change the form of energy in their bodies after cultivation, and whether they would be able to condense Jin Dan and Yuan Ying. In addition, it is also considered that the number of members of the blood clan is relatively small, the strength is generally low, and there is no regular army of its own. Therefore, in addition to seeing how effective the members of the Blood Clan were in cultivating the exercises modified by themselves, Wang Yu also wanted to take this opportunity to improve their overall strength, so that they could be invincible in the future battles with the Holy See, and at the same time reduce casualties.

After all, in Wang Yu's understanding, the Holy See has two regular legions, namely the Teutonic Knights and the Guardian Mage. These two regular legions, each of which had about 2,000 men.

The members of the Teutonic Knights' Legion were all knights. The knights among them are different from knights in the ordinary sense, these knights are orphans specially searched by the Holy See from all over the world, and they have been cultivated for decades.

Each of them practiced the chivalric recipe taught by the Holy See, which was different from the Eastern cultivation method, and the cultivation of this method required the absorption of both the aura and the power of people's faith. Moreover, the aura absorbed from the air cannot be stored in the dantian like the Eastern cultivators, let alone used to condense the golden pill and the Yuan Infant. These spiritual energies that they have absorbed into their bodies have been integrated into their physical bodies together with the power of faith, so that the strength and strength of their physical bodies have continued to increase.

Since the knights emit a holy white light when they use a new power that combines spiritual power, the power of faith, and the power of the flesh, they call this new power "holy power."

"Holy Power" can be released to injure the enemy, and it can also be integrated into the weapon, which can greatly increase the lethality of the weapon after being integrated into the weapon.

And when a knight is promoted to the rank of Golden Knight, he can rely on the "Holy Power" for a short flight.

According to the different cultivation and strength of the knights, the knights can be divided into seven levels: trainee knight, iron knight, silver knight, gold knight, earth knight, sky knight, and paladin.

In terms of the strength possessed, the trainee knight is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the foundation building period, the ironclad knight is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Bigu period, the level of a cultivator in the silver knight rotation period, the level of a golden knight is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Jindan period, and the earth knight is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Yuan Infant period. The Sky Knight is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Distraction Period, and the Paladin is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Merge Period. (Note: Compared with the Yuan Infant Period, the power stored in the body does not increase much compared with the Yuan Infant Period, the difference is that the out-of-body stage cultivators are much higher than the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators in terms of the fit between the soul and the Yuan Infant, and they are much more skilled in the grasp and application of strength, so in terms of actual combat effectiveness, the out-of-body stage cultivators are one level higher than the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators.) Therefore, in terms of the strength in the body, it is not the out-of-body period that is really one level higher than the Yuan Infant Stage cultivator, but the distraction period. Therefore, the reason why the Earth Knight is equivalent to the Yuan Infant Period, while the Sky Knight is equivalent to the Distraction Period. )

However, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, since cultivators generally have their own magic weapons. Moreover, the cultivator's attacks are flexible and the means are diverse, so compared with the knights and cultivators of the same realm, the combat effectiveness of the cultivators is obviously higher than that of the knights. Of course, if hand-to-hand combat is or if the cultivator is fixed in a small space with a knight of the same realm, since the physical strength of the knight is greater than that of the cultivator, then the knight's combat power is significantly greater than that of the cultivator of the same realm, unless the cultivator has a powerful spiritual weapon-level battle armor. However, battles often take place in open areas, so under normal circumstances, the combat effectiveness of cultivators is significantly stronger than that of knights of the same realm.

Not all knights can join the Teutonic Order, and the minimum standard for joining the Teutonic Order is the Silver Knight. And the Cadet Knight does not have any duties. Their task is to cultivate. Ironclad knights can only serve as ordinary city guards, and they only have two tasks, one is to cultivate, and the other is to maintain the security of the city. In general. In the Teutonic Knights, the Silver Knight served as a regular soldier, the Golden Knight served as a squad leader, the Earth Knight served as a squadron leader, the Sky Knight served as a captain, and the paladin served as the chief and deputy captain.

In the Teutonic Knights, there was one captain, two deputy commanders, four captains, twenty squadron leaders, and one hundred squad leaders. In other words, there are at least three paladins in the entire Teutonic Knights who are equivalent to the strength of a cultivator in the Merge Period. There are four Sky Knights with the strength of the Distraction Stage, twenty Earth Knights with the strength of the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators, and one hundred Golden Knights with the strength of the Jindan Stage Cultivators. The other more than 1,700 people were all silver knights who were equivalent to cultivators in the Rotation Period.

Although the number of such a war legion composed entirely of monks is not very large, its combat effectiveness is very amazing. According to the information obtained by Wang Yu, the actual combat power of such a war legion was equivalent to the entire attack power of five mid-tribulation cultivators. Of course, in order to exert such combat power, it is necessary for them to form a battle formation and attack in the form of a battle formation.

On the other hand, the Protector Corps is made up of mages from the Holy See. The Mage is a special being in the Holy See. They are not clergy in the Holy See, they do not generally appear in the Holy See, they are orphans specially collected by the Holy See from all over the world, and they have been specially trained to specialize in combat.

As combatants, they also practice a special kind of exercise, which is called the Divine Power Technique. It is said that this practice was transmitted from the angelic world and was modified by the God Jehovah on the basis of the practice of the angels. Like the exercises practiced by angels, the process of cultivating this practice is also a process of absorbing the aura in the air and the power of faith, and then fusing one's own consciousness to form a new power, that is, "divine power". However, this exercise mainly focuses on the absorption of the power of faith, and absorbs relatively little aura, and the role of aura in it is to promote the fusion of the power of faith and awareness, so the cultivation of this exercise cannot stimulate the cultivators to produce wings, so the divine power generated by the mages when they practice is stored in the dantian like the cultivators, forming a sea of "divine power".

According to the amount of divine power stored in the monk's body, the Holy See divides the monks who practice the exercise into seven levels, namely, first-level mage, second-level mage, third-level mage, fourth-level mage, fifth-level mage, sixth-level mage (also known as Dharma saint), and seventh-level mage (also known as Dharma God).

In terms of the amount of divine power stored in the body, the first-level mage is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the foundation building period, the second-level mage is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Bigu period, the third-level mage is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Xuanzhao period, the fourth-level mage is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Jindan period, the fifth-level mage is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Yuan Infant Period, the Dharma Saint is equivalent to the level of a distraction cultivator, and the Dharma God is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Merge Period.

Since this kind of divine power cannot condense the golden pill and the yuan infant at the dantian, the highest state that can be achieved by cultivating this kind of exercise is the "Dharma God". Anyone who exceeds this realm will explode because the physical body cannot withstand too much divine power.

The Pope in the Holy See is a Dharma God in the Great Cheng Period, and he has the strength to merge with the cultivators in the late stage, plus the Pope has the Inheritance Holy Weapon, so the Pope's actual combat power is comparable to that of the cultivators in the early stage of the Tribulation. And the eight cardinals are all early or middle stage Dharma gods, and they have the strength of cultivators in the early or middle stage of the merger.

The combat structure of the Guardian Mage Regiment is almost identical to that of the Teutonic Knights, with three cardinals (i.e., Dharma Gods) as the chief and deputy commanders, four Dharma Saints as the captain, twenty fifth-level mages as squadron leaders, and one hundred fourth-level mages as squad leaders. A third-level mage as an ordinary soldier. The overall combat power can also reach the full attack power of the five mid-tribulation cultivators.

The functions and battle modes of the Guardian Mage Regiment in battle are different from those of the Teutonic Knights, with the Teutonic Knights focusing on melee combat and defense, and the Guardian Mages focusing on long-range attacks and blessings. It is said that if two legions work together, the combat power of both legions will be increased exponentially. So for the Holy See, the real hole cards in their hands are these two battle legions.
