The Paladins' Gratitude, a Trump Card One Step Away

The casualties were to be expected!

But the manner of their "death" moved even the most elite [Sunlight Scripture] troops.

These Holy Knight were caught in the siege of the Undead or exhausted did not die at the hands of the Undead.

Instead, they resorted to self-harm, severing the arteries in their necks.

Vibrant blood transformed into blooming blood flowers!

Faced with imminent death, the Paladin of the Holy Kingdom displayed a will and spirit far beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.

In the midst of this fierce battle.

Enri stood behind Tang Zheng, covering her mouth in disbelief, and took a step back from kneeling, her eyes red and confused.

These Paladin had been laughing and joking with her before, but now—this left Enri with an indescribable sense of shock.

"Captain, why did they do this—" Enri's voice trembled, and even her hands shook uncontrollably.

"Enri."

Tang Zheng's expression was solemn. While continuing to direct the Peace Authority Angel to attack the Gray-robed Magic Caster, he remained silent for a brief moment.

He spoke softly:

"Because they are Paladin, whether out of faith or out of inner pride, they would never want to become one of the Undead and attack their former comrades."

Enri then remembered that during the war council, several adults had mentioned that those who survived being killed by the Death Knight would also be transformed into Undead.

"Cocoa--.-

Enri's voice inexplicably carried a hint of a sob, "As long as they don't turn into the Undead, there's still hope." Tang Zheng's gentle yet earnest voice came through.

"Hope?"

"Among the Fifth-Tier Divine System magics, there exists a spell that can Resurrection of the Dead, as long as the corpse is preserved intact—..."

Tang Zheng hadn't finished speaking.

"Captain, I need to help too!" Enri's brown eyes lit up with hope as she rolled up her sleeves and ran off.

Seeing Enri's actions.

"Blackie!"

Tang Zheng Zhengyi was pleased and immediately spoke.

"Awooo!" The Barghest growled, and its massive black form leaped out, catching up with Enri in the blink of an eye.

He opened his mouth and bit down on the back of Enri's collar.

"Blackie, put me down!"

Enri flailed her arms, her voice trembling with even more sobs. "Captain, I want to help too."

"Like Miss Cuiye, I am also a member of [Free Will]."

I'm not a child!

"Roar~"

The Barghest panted, not hearing Tang Zheng's next command. It tossed its head upwards, launching Enri into the air before landing precisely on her neck.

It swelled its limbs and pressed them against the ground.

"The Barghest barked loudly, seemingly telling Enri to hold on tight, and then ran towards the outermost edge of the battlefield."

"No--, thank you, Blackie."

Enri then realized what was happening, bursting into tears of joy, and tightly clutching the Barghest's thick, black fur with both hands.

A rapid charge.

The Barghest first reached the corpse of a Paladin, then rammed into a group of Low-Tier Undead, sending them flying.

Bone Chains swing!

She wrapped the Paladin's corpse in chains and placed it on her back, quickly grabbing Enri to prevent it from falling.

Not far away.

"Ah, ah!!"

Another member of the Holy Knights, seeing the Barghest and Enri suddenly charge into the battlefield, paused in his heavy breathing, then roared and charged towards the Undead in front of him:

"Thank you, Miss Enri!"

On the battlefield of fierce fighting.

Each faction has its own enemies to face, and it seems that only Enri, an ordinary person, and the Barghest, which has no combat power whatsoever, are suitable for doing things that require no manpower in this situation.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Barghest and Enri's black figures moved continuously across the battlefield, carrying the bodies of the fallen Paladin back to safety.

Wherever they went.

The Paladin all turned their heads in gratitude, and the title "Miss Enri" echoed around the battlefield.

"Things have gone a little wrong."

Seeing Enri's lively figure, Tang Zheng said with a hint of helplessness, "The result is not bad."

His plan for Enri was originally to have her follow the "Commander" system, and his initial memory was that Enri should follow Lainas.

However, the war between the empire and the Kingdom begins every autumn, which takes too long, so Tang Zheng simply included Enri in his immediate plans.

The famous "Commander" among humans in the New World wasn't explicitly mentioned, but the "Beast General" among the Demi-Human...

Hector, however, explicitly mentioned that he possessed the command ability to "take on ten men."

Seeing that Enri was protected by the Barghest and was temporarily out of danger, Tang Zheng looked up at the Gray-robed Magic Caster in mid-air who was being attacked by a group of Angel.

"Damn it, Lightning Strike!"

The Gray-robed Magic Caster roared and shouted in mid-air as he cast a spell.

The blue lightning bolt shot straight towards the Flame Archangel, and the "Lightning Strike," with its penetrating effect, dealt more damage to the Angel than the "Fireball."

!

!

!

Three Flame Archangel were pierced through in succession, turning into white specks of light and dissipating.

"Strike Evil"

The Peace Authority Angel swung his magical Lancer, radiating Holy Light, and slammed it down heavily on the Gray-robed Magic Caster.

Buzz- Buzz-

The Jet Black Insect Swarm transformed into a shield in front of him. Under the attack of the magic Lancer, the Insect Swarm was scattered, but it blocked the attack of the Peace Authority Angel.

"An eyesore of Angel!"

The Gray-robed Magic Caster quickly retreated, creating distance again, and continued to unleash magical attacks, his face showing signs of exhaustion from excessive magic consumption.

Captain Nigun stared intently at the sky, continuously directing the [Sunlight Scripture]'s offensive.

"This shouldn't be a problem."

Tang Zheng thought to himself, controlling a Fourth-Tier Angel to launch attacks would be quite an energy-consuming task for an ordinary person, but it was very easy for him.

Faced with the combined attack of eighty Flame Archangel and a Fourth-Tier Angel, even Magic Caster from the Hero Realm was somewhat outmatched.

Even Gazef almost died in the future under the dense Angel offensive of the [Sunlight Scripture] forces. Although the strength of this disciple in front of him is stronger, he has the support of Fourth-Tier Angel, so suppressing him should not be a problem.

"Magic" is the lifeline of Magic Caster.

Given enough time, the Gray-robed Magic Caster will inevitably be defeated if he doesn't flee.

"What about Remedios... hmm?"

Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked at another part of the battlefield, where Remedios was fighting a black-armored knight, a look of surprise in his eyes:

How could that be?

And there it was!

Remedios's shoulder armor was damaged and bleeding profusely, and it wasn't just in that spot.

Other wounds also continued to bleed, staining large areas of the silver armor crimson!

"We've completely fallen into a disadvantageous position."

Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised.

Putting aside Remedios's personality, she is quite strong in terms of raw power. Even if the Funny Sis were to go head-to-head with her, she might not come out on top.

Of all the human Paladin.

The first place goes to the sixth seat of [The Black Scripture], followed by Remedios in second place, and the third place goes to Sera Burea, the leader of the "Crystal Tear" Fine Steel Squad from the "Draconic Kingdom".

Remedios also wields Holy Sword Paladin, she possesses abilities to buff and heal injuries, making her extremely resilient.

"Continuous bleeding -?"

"The [Dark Knight]'s class ability only reduces healing effects by half. It shouldn't have a continuous bleeding effect. The sword in the black-armored knight's hand—"

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, noticing the divine light that occasionally emanated from Remedios's body, yet it remained unable to effectively control the bleeding from his wounds. "Rotten Sword - Crocodile."

His [Cursed Knight] class also possesses a continuous bleeding effect that causes injuries that cannot be healed, similar to the ability of that "Rotten Sword".

Such low-level Healing Magic is probably insufficient to heal this kind of damage!

"No wonder they were completely suppressed." Tang Zheng frowned even more deeply.

To heal this kind of injury, one would need at least the Sixth-Tier "Greater Healing" spell, a spell that Tang Zheng had not yet mastered.

Even if it involves using a "Magic Boost Ritual".

His strongest Healing Magic is the Third-Tier "Severe Wound Healing," and even after increasing two tiers, it only reaches level 5.

The order is not up to the Sixth-Tier.

"Ah--!

Suddenly, a scream echoed across the battlefield.

"Crimson" Auland coughed up mouthfuls of blood and flew backward, a thick arm flying through the air before falling to the ground.

"Auland!"

"Auland!"

Go Jin and "Black" Pabel cried out in alarm, immediately unleashing their full power to briefly repel the Death Knight who was about to finish him off.

Puff!

Blood gushed uncontrollably from the severed arm, and the tender, red flesh around the wound was visibly Negative Energy Corrosion and began to rot.

Intense pain!

A mixture of saliva and blood spilled from "Crimson" Auland's mouth as he forced himself to stand up from the ground, his mouth agape.

"It hurts like hell!"

"Crimson!" Auland gasped, his face bloodless and weak, but his eyes held a ferocity like a wild beast on its deathbed.

"Don't worry about me! Stop it, or the entire defense line will collapse!"

The encounter with the Death Knight made Gojin and the others truly realize the power of this Legendary Undead.

Faced with a tireless monster that couldn't cause any harm, even with the composure of Gojin and the others, a sense of despair inexplicably arose within them!

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered. Go Jin and the other two were no longer able to suppress the Death Knight, Remedios was also at a disadvantage.

The number of Undead surging in from all directions was dense and showed no signs of abating.

"Should we wait for these two any longer?"

Tang Zheng noticed that Kelart's expression was becoming increasingly tense, and Captain Nigun's face was equally gloomy and unpleasant.

Neither of them are fools; they should understand the danger of the situation and seem to be waiting for the other to make the first move!

Since you dare to march into the Abelion Hills!

Both sides must have the confidence to defeat the Death Knight, and this "confidence" is the trump card that the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy have given.

"This might also be why the alliance leader hasn't shown up yet."

"Beware of being directly targeted by both sides." Tang Zheng was interested in the trump cards of both sides, and the alliance leader was probably equally interested.

To rashly venture out without any intelligence would be an unwise choice.

"It shouldn't be long before we have to wait any longer."

Tang Zheng looked towards the Death Knight.

With "Red" Auland injured, Go and his two companions were completely out of control.

Location of the Cleric Corps!

Kelart unconsciously clenched his fists. Seeing the exhausted breathing of the Cleric behind him, he glanced at his sister's direction and then at the Death Knight.

"Hateful!"

"Is the Slane Theocracy still waiting?"

Kelart was restless and uneasy. With her intelligence, she could naturally understand that she was currently engaging in a psychological battle with Captain Nigun.

But she couldn't wait. The Holy Kingdom had the largest population, the Holy Knights were suffering increasing casualties, and her sister's situation was also unfavorable.

Wait a little longer.

Kelart's slender, pale fingers reached for the magic belt at her waist. This was a chance to completely annihilate the Demi-Human; if she used it, she might not have another opportunity.

"Ha, ha, I never thought I'd actually be troubled by something like this one day."

"The Holy King from His Majesty Calca."

Kelart spat out a breath, a hint of helplessness flashing in his narrow, ugly, and sinister eyes, and his hand gripped the magic pouch tightly.

Just as the ugly thing was about to be taken out!

Dong Dong Yi-

A loud thud, like an earthquake, followed by intense shouts of battle from the south.

"Beast General" Hectowaizes led a group of Demi-Human, charging forward at an incredibly fast speed. The dust that followed the Demi-Human' charge was like a giant wave crashing down, smashing and crushing the Undead that blocked their way.

The Demi-Human ugly suddenly appeared.

Like a shot of adrenaline, it revitalized the oppressive atmosphere and the disadvantaged human forces.

"Those bastards!!"

Kelart loosened his grip on the magic belt, watching a large number of Demi-Human approaching from afar. His face showed resentment, and he gritted his teeth.

"The silence created by so many Undead couldn't possibly have gone unnoticed by these Demi-Human, yet they've only just arrived!"

"It's clearly an attempt to harm our human elite."

Kelart's narrow eyes flashed with coldness and glint; she didn't believe that these Demi-Human couldn't notice the numerous Undead creatures who resembled Jing.

If they couldn't even reach this level, all the Demi-Human would have been wiped out long ago!

In mid-air.

The first to notice the demi -Demi-Human was the Gray-robed Magic Caster.

"These Demi-Human really came at the right time!"

The Gray-robed Magic Caster, Zhixi, was clearly weakened. Seeing the arrival of the Demi-Human, he realized their mission had failed.

Fourth-Tier Magic: "Swarm Rampage!"

A dense cloud of flying insects swiftly swarmed from the Gray-robed Magic Caster's ugly sleeves, entangling the closest Angel of shame, Ning Quan.

The Gray-robed Magic Caster quickly retreated, flying down from the sky.

"Rotten Sword! Time to go."

The Gray-robed Magic Caster roared at the ugly, black-armored knight below, who was excitedly fighting him. His figure flew over the heads of Remedios and the other ugly knight, arriving in front of the Death Knight.

"Fireball!"

A Fireball flew out, struck in front of Go, Jin, and the other two, and exploded, creating a shockwave that forced them back.

On the other side.

That's enough for now.

The black-armored knight sheathed his longsword, gave Remedios a cold laugh, and his fiery gaze swept over the Holy Sword.

"You won't be so lucky next time you move in."

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Remedios shouted, wanting to give chase, but due to excessive blood loss, his movements became somewhat stiff.

Bang!

The black-armored knight moved swiftly, leaving his original position and rushing towards the location of the Death Knight.

"If the mission fails, I will inevitably be punished by the alliance leader."

The Gray-robed Magic Caster, with a headache, spoke, placing one hand on the ugly Death Knight and the other on the black-armored knight, and chanted softly:

"Teleportation!"

As space distorts.

The three figures of the Death Knight vanished into thin air.
