Chapter 370 Holy Sword
After the sun rose the next day, the remnants of the Southern Sixth Army began to appear in the outskirts of Bamblore one after another.Unlike the Royal Guards, which were responsible for guarding the front line of the Sword Castle, the Sixth Army was responsible for a line of defense on the undefended plains, just like the line of defense established by El in Bambolo.

Because the line of defense was too long and the troops were scattered, the Sixth Army was about to collapse in front of the undead army.However, for the same reason, the undead army failed to completely encircle and suppress this legion.

So there was this ridiculous scene of deserters all over the ground. Driven by fear, the human soldiers ran with their legs and defeated the black knight riding the skeleton horse, and the latter was also helpless in the face of the fleeing target— — This cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.

In order to obtain the latest information, El ordered to contain the deserters of the Sixth Army. Fortunately, he had already picked up a remnant of the Sixth Army on the way. establishment.Letting these soldiers who have regained their composure gather their comrades in arms should be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

As for the cowards who have been scared out of their courage and the idiots who want to take advantage of the fire, they are given only butcher knives.Bamblore doesn't need this kind of scum now, and he doesn't have the energy to show mercy, so he simply hacked him to death.In order not to provide materials for the coming undead army, these corpses must also be collected and burned to ashes.

As for whether this will work, El is not sure in his heart.After all, those undead troops on the opposite side are backed by the Lord of Death behind the scenes, and the trick of resurrecting from the dead is not uncommon.Even the troops that were once confirmed to be wiped out can climb out of the pit again. It's hard to imagine whether the Lord of Death still has a bottom line.

Al was now eagerly anticipating the surprise that Ron would bring to him.

Out of a cautious attitude, Ron did not reveal the location of the paladin's tomb in the end, and insisted that he could only retrieve the holy sword by himself.Seeing the old man trembling on crutches, Al was really afraid that he would fall into a small ravine and never return.

Fortunately, Ron did not disappoint him. The old man's body was much tougher than it looked, and it was effortless to travel dozens of miles alone. He delivered a roll of linen wrapped package to El hands.

After ordering their subordinates to disperse the idlers, Al and Ron sneaked into the room like thieves, closed the doors and windows and drew the curtains, and carefully untied the linen.

As soon as the edge of the metal was exposed, a holy light radiated out, instantly illuminating the entire room.El now finally knows why Ron has repeatedly warned himself to be cautious. This thing is a natural light source. If it is as conspicuous as a torch in the dark night, I am afraid that those undead can see it clearly on the other side of the horizon. clearly.

It is said that paladins are fanatics with a single mind. In their eyes, the world is either black or white, and there is no neutral option.They have devoted their lives to the cause of expelling evil and demonstrating justice, never compromising with the evil, and never compromising.

When hearing this kind of story in the tavern before, El always sniffed subconsciously, because this world needs mutual tolerance and compromise. If the legendary paladin is really so stubborn, it must be a mental illness with psychological problems .

But when he saw the sword, he couldn't help but change his opinion all along.Perhaps only the kind of psychopath who persists in the belief of justice can save the world will use such a sacred weapon that shines all the time to challenge the evil.

The whole body of the long sword wrapped in linen is made of Titan steel. The streamlined sword spine is engraved with ancient inscriptions on the front and back, and the blade is coated with sacred mithril, which is full of elegance at first glance. sense of power.El picked up the long sword and weighed it in his hand, and found that it was heavier than it looked, and its weight was no less than that of a two-handed epee made of ordinary steel.

"The Holy Sword Ainris is a sacred weapon handed down from the beginning of the establishment of the Hand of Justice. It was infused with divine power by Tyre, the God of Justice, and bestowed on his paladins to expel evil and defend justice." Ron stared at the sword. With the radiant light, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in his eyes.

He sighed in his heart and continued: "This holy sword has three blessing magic spells of 'detect evil', 'expel filth' and 'power of justice' on it. Now that you see it glowing, it means that there must be With the existence of evil forces, it seems that the undead army is indeed not far from us."

"I do have a question..." El tested the sharpness of the blade with his fingers, and asked a little puzzled: "Since this is a holy sword that has been passed down, why did it have to be buried with its owner back then?" Woolen cloth?"

"Actually... there is no need to hide this matter." Ron hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The paladin who died that year was not actually killed in battle, but was eroded by the power of death and degenerated. Became a minion of death. This is not a glorious history, even a disgrace for a paladin. The real reason why this holy sword is left here is to purify the body of that paladin and free his soul .”

"Why not burn his body, like we're doing now?" El asked suspiciously.

"I don't know the specific reason. Those paladins had promised to come back to retrieve the holy sword in half a year, but there was no news of their visit, leaving me here to wait for a full 20 years. years." Ron rubbed his forehead, sighed and said with a wry smile: "Now that evil is coming, the holy sword should be delivered to the hands of the heroes who fight against evil, so as to exert its true power. Only in this way will I be worthy of The trust of those paladins has finally been released."

"Very good, now is the time to use it. I remember you said that you can use this sword to make holy water?" El had a look of reluctance on his face, but he still carefully put the sword back on the table , wrapped in linen cloth intact.Although this holy sword sounds very domineering and cool, it is not to his liking.

Or that no normal person, except paladins and narcissists, would walk around with such a lighting stick.

No matter how powerful a weapon is, it cannot change the outcome of a war.In addition to lighting, he had to discover the added value of the sword, such as the holy water that Ron had mentioned.

"Put the holy sword in the water for 3 minutes, and you can turn the clear water into holy water. The longer the time, the stronger the effect of the holy water. You can understand it as a piece of ice, put the ice in a water glass, and the hot water in the glass will become It will cool down quickly, and it will take more time to change to a larger cup."

Seemingly seeing that El didn't know much about it, Ron explained it in great detail.

"Aside from the paladins of the Hand of Justice, can followers of other gods drive this sword?" El asked.

"As long as it is a god belonging to the orderly and good camp, it can be used. If there is justice in the heart, no matter what faith you have, you can get the approval of the holy sword." Ron thought for a while and said affirmatively.

"That's really...too generous." El pouted, turned his head and said loudly towards the door: "Would you like to try it? It seems to be a weapon specially prepared for you!"

Hearing El's words, Ron couldn't help but be startled, he didn't realize that someone was eavesdropping outside the door at all.In other words, when El specifically ordered his subordinates to be on guard outside, someone still approached silently.Judging from El's tone, it doesn't seem like an enemy?

The door was gently pushed open, and Ron saw a girl in a dark blue robe walk in, and took the package from El directly without a word of politeness.Although the girl was wearing a veil, there was a faint divine aura on her body.

Ron's eyes widened and he held his breath. He would never forget the familiar feeling. It was the oppressive feeling he had felt in the paladin—holy and inviolable enough to make the ignorant worship.

I don't know if it's an illusion caused by his aging. Ron felt that the girl in front of him was even more refined than the paladin he had followed. Just who is she?

Tiana took a deep look at the old man, and turned her attention to the package in front of her.El may be relatively slow in this regard, but she can clearly feel the divine power hidden in it even through the package.

She took a deep breath, reached out and took out the long sword from the package—the weight of the holy sword Ainris made the girl's wrist slightly sink.If she hadn't received a gift from the wild walker Dukan before this, which strengthened her delicate body to a certain extent, I am afraid that the sword would come out of her hand and hit her foot.

Even though such a young girl's face was flushed abnormally, the weight of the holy sword was still too heavy for a spellcaster.She subconsciously wanted to let go, but at this moment a pair of warm big hands pressed against the back of her hand, helping her to pull out the long sword little by little.

"Be careful, this sword is very sharp." Erxu held the girl's hands holding the sword and whispered in her ear.

There was a suspicious blush at the base of the girl's ears, and her body tensed up suddenly.Although it was not the first time that he had intimate contact with El, nor did he take the opportunity to eat tofu, but that was when the two were alone.And now there was an elderly elder in the room staring at him with reverent eyes, and the temperature on Tiana's face rose sharply at that moment.

Fortunately, at this time, the holy sword Ainris bloomed ten times brighter than before in her hands, almost blocking everyone's sight, and slightly easing the embarrassment in the girl's heart, but what followed was is surprised.

"This is one of the twelve holy swords inherited by the Hand of Justice?" Tiana obviously knew more about the history of this holy sword than Ron.

"It's going to be a huge surprise," El laughs.
