Chapter 212 Waiting for You

"The caravan of the Holy See of Light is coming."

Zhang Jingyi sat on the top of a tree, looking at the official road in the distance through a telescope.

He doesn't have the [Eagle Vision], but he has a telescope.

Elizabeth next to her has a magic crow, and Antonio also has a white owl.

The three of them knew exactly what the Vatican's transport team was doing.

However, Elizabeth and Antonio were a little surprised by the telescope in Zhang Jingyi's hand.

Elizabeth: "Husband, what kind of magic prop is this? Can it allow ordinary people to see so far?"

Antonio couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that His Majesty the King had to wear the clothes of the [Magic Monk] and release the reconnaissance eagle to see the enemy in the distance. I didn't expect His Majesty the King to take out another magical prop."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with magic. This is an optical prop."

"Optics?" Elizabeth was surprised: "What is optics?"

Zhang Jingyi: "It is the study of light!"

Antonio: "Studying the science of light? This is incredible. If your Majesty reveals this knowledge, the people of the Church of Light will worship you as a great scholar or archbishop."

Zhang Jingyi: "I don't need their worship. Besides, optics is a science, not theology. After they hear about optics, I'm afraid they will burn me to death, because the more optics is understood by the world, the more it will undermine the authority of the God of Light."

"They are getting closer." Zhang Jingyi: "It's best for the three of us not to show up in this battle."

Antonio and Elizabeth also agreed with this point, and the three of them retreated into the jungle. There were more than a dozen old guards in the forest who had been waiting here for a long time.

The clothes the guards were wearing were a set of "Destitute Knight Armor" custom-made for them by Zhang Jingyi. It was obviously a brand new set of armor, but the dwarf had it newly enchanted to increase strength, damage, defense and other attributes, and then it was deliberately made "old".

It is not too simple to make a piece of armor old with modern technology. It is rusty and dilapidated. At first glance, it looks like a lost dog.

Zhang Jingyi handed the telescope to an old guard.

Elizabeth said, "Here, this is your [Eagle Eye Technique]. My husband, Antonio and I are all unable to do anything. We have to rely on you."

The old guard bowed deeply and said, "Please leave it to me. If I still lose the fight even though I'm wearing such good equipment, I won't be worthy of being called a royal knight."

Elizabeth nodded.

The old guard, along with a dozen other guards, came out of the woods, climbed to a high place, and looked through a telescope. They saw ten transport trucks slowly approaching along the official road.

"Do they really think that such an obvious trick can fool us?"

The old guard laughed and said, "We robbed this transport team on the way to Xihuang Town. They must have strengthened their defenses when they returned. But now they look exactly the same as when they came. Even a fool can see that there is something wrong. It seems that Glass's intelligence is still not enough."

The guards behind him laughed: "He is a great priest of the Holy See of Light. He must be intelligent enough. It's just that he has too little experience in actual combat, so he doesn't pay attention to details."

"Okay, get ready to kill them!" The old guard said, "Pay attention to those cars. They are definitely not carrying goods. Her Majesty the Queen just said that they are most likely carrying ambushes."

Guards: "Let's do it together with the ambush troops."

"Hahaha!"
-
The transport team crossed the official road and walked foolishly to the woods.

Everyone in the team was mentally prepared. As expected, a group of old bandits emerged from the woods on both sides of the road tree.

The word "old" does not describe that they have been bandits for a long time, but rather describes their age.

The youngest bandit was already forty years old, and the older ones looked to be in their sixties. The armor they wore was rusty and it was obvious that they were not doing well in their lives.

The people in the transport team were a little nervous. They knew that this guy was very powerful, after all, he had just been beaten up. However, the Temple Knights who were hiding in the transport vehicle and looking out through the holes in the oilcloth were laughing in their hearts: Where did these crappy and down-and-out knights come from?
It seems that they are a knight order from a family that failed in a political struggle. After the destruction of the family, they became bandits and now look like human beings.

The old guard in the lead spoke: "I planted this mountain...ah...cough...I said the wrong line, let me start over...I opened this mountain, I planted this tree..."

"Why waste time talking to them? Let's fight!" The oilcloth on a transport vehicle was suddenly lifted up, and a temple knight jumped up from the vehicle. He waved his hand, and the [Holy Hammer], the divine power condensed into a sledgehammer in mid-air, and flew towards the old guard with a whoosh.

The next moment, the hammer hit the old guard's chest.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

A faint golden light suddenly appeared on the armor, offsetting the golden light of the hammer and disappearing without a trace.

The Temple Knight was shocked. "Huh? The enchantment of [Divine Defense Enhancement]? You...what's wrong with this broken armor of yours?"

The old guard chuckled: "Sure enough, there are ambushes on the car, right? Don't think that just a few dozen ambushed soldiers can deal with us. Let me show you how powerful the Sunset Red Army is."

He waved his hand, and the old guards rushed forward with a roar.

The tarps on the transport vehicles were lifted up one after another, and twenty Knights Templar jumped out, along with a dozen transport soldiers. In the blink of an eye, the Holy See of Light had more than thirty soldiers.

On the other hand, the old guards had only a dozen people and they were obviously at a disadvantage.

but……

When the two groups fought together, the situation was completely different.

A temple knight swung his sword and hit a guard on the breastplate. A red light spread from the breastplate. It was the light of [Defense Enhancement]. The armor generated an extremely powerful defensive force, which bounced the temple knight's sword away with a "snap".

The Temple Knight was completely stunned.

The guard took the opportunity to strike back with his sword. A red light emanated from the old dragon slayer in his hand. The effect of [Damage Enhancement] easily shattered the armor on the temple knight's body and stabbed into his flesh.

"Ah!" The Temple Knight let out a shrill scream, fell backwards, and blood instantly flowed all over the ground.

The Temple Knights next to them were a little confused. What was going on?

When their weapons also hit the guards, they finally understood.

However, it is too late to understand now.

In a short while, the Temple Knights fell to the ground, but the dozen or so people in the transport team ran very fast. Those who had been engaged in transportation for many years were often attacked by bandits and road bullies, so they did not dare to be as arrogant as the Temple Knights. When they saw the situation was not good, they ran away and ran a long distance in a blink of an eye.

I only heard the old guard's laughter behind me: "Holy See of Light, we are waiting for you to come again."
