Don't call me evil god

Chapter 846 Then play music and then dance

The border defense of the Earldom of Kalezi has always been the most reassuring.

Because there is a powerful main force of the Crusaders responsible for guarding it.

When it comes to dealing with monsters.

The Crusaders are a perfect match for the profession.

Especially the "holy warrior" profession unique to the Cult of the Light.

Paladins, strictly speaking, are a type of priest, but they are a kind of "heavy armor priest" who masters special divine magic.

Only a Radiant Priest who has reached level 3 has the opportunity to become a Holy Knight. This is the most basic threshold.

A few priests who can successfully pass the "Sealing Ceremony" and gain the approval of the gods will have their first "Holy Seal" of their own.

They can become powerful paladins.

This ceremony is similar to the bestowal of [Divine Healing], but the conditions are more stringent, and it must be performed at the Holy Land of Glory, the church headquarters, southwest of the royal capital Starosh.

Therefore, even the Radiant God Cult cannot hold a seal ceremony for any priest at will.

Not to mention the priests in the Church of Knowledge, they have no chance to go to the Holy Land of Light at all.

Therefore, although there are already a large number of priests among Nowen's believers, the number of paladins is still zero.

This powerful profession is still exclusive to the Cult of the Light.

A group of powerful glow spells that must consume the energy of the Holy Seal when cast.

The simplest way to use it is to use divine spells such as [Seal of Justice], [Seal of Oath], [Seal of Vengeance], [Seal of Judgment], etc. to activate the idle seals you hold, adding powerful buffs to the paladin and his companions.

The effect of the Seal of Justice is that it can cause a large amount of additional holy damage when attacking a life with the power of an evil god.

The Seal of the Oath provides significant damage reduction and purification protection. Even tier 3 monsters will find it difficult to cause damage to a paladin blessed by the seal, and the pollution effects of the attack will be quickly purified.

In addition, the holy warriors can also use the magic of [Judgment] to pour out the energy of the holy seal they have activated.

The more Void-tainted the target is, the greater the damage caused by Judgment.

Not only that.

The weapons used by the holy warriors are also unique equipment specially customized by the Cult of the Light.

Although they usually use melee weapons such as swords, hammers, and axes, after blessing them with the holy warriors' unique divine magic, every time their attack hits, a strong [Holy Storm] will be centered on the target.

The majestic sacred energy will sweep across an area ranging from a few meters in radius to tens of meters or nearly a hundred meters in length, causing serious damage to all things in the void!

It is clearly a "melee profession" similar to a warrior.

The normal attack can be a combo, a critical hit, and a straight cleave, and even has the effect of clearing the area.

For an experienced paladin, in a battle like the Red Tide of Monsters that emphasizes group attack capabilities, it is not a problem for him to easily destroy thousands of low-level monsters.

This is the foundation of the Glowing God Cult and the greatest reliance of the Earldom of Kalezi.

Since the monster red tide broke out, the border defense line of Kalezi Territory has been almost unbreakable!
Whenever a monster approaches the defense line, a group of holy warriors will ignite the dazzling golden light of the holy seal activated, jump off the city wall without hesitation, and rush into the pile of monsters to fight unstoppable.

Low-level monsters can't even survive the [Divine Storm];
Even high-level monsters that pose a slight threat would find it difficult to withstand the fatal attacks of a paladin.

The chubby Count Kaleze even directly handed over the command to Archbishop Harris Eugene, who came to assist the border defense line. However, his "delegation of power" was declined by the latter. Archbishop Eugene explained that he and the Five Saints had more important things to do on this trip and could not spare the extra energy to command and dispatch multiple defense lines.

Count Kalez had no choice but to settle for the second best and, as he had done in previous years, handed over the command to the senior legion commander of the Crusaders.

In short, the main point is to save trouble and make it easy.

While Countess Ceylon and Marquis Nochima were on high alert, their spirits tense at all times, and constantly collecting and analyzing intelligence from various defense lines, Count Carlez had already returned comfortably to his own Count's castle.

What? What if something goes wrong with the defense line?
joke!

Count Carlez was not worried at all.

He has handed over command to the Crusaders for several years, and there has never been any problem with the defense line!

Not only that, sometimes the battle situation is better than when he is commanding!
Not only did Count Kalezi return to the castle himself, he also organized a small-scale cocktail party and invited several royal nobles with whom he wanted to deepen his relationships and build relationships.

Normally, he was restricted by his duties as a lord and could not leave his fiefdom easily.

Only in times like the Red Tide of Monsters would those royal capital nobles who could show up and say a few words in front of His Majesty the King come to the border areas.

Count Kalezi planned to build up good relationships with them, take the aristocratic route, and find a way to get His Majesty the King to transfer him to other places, or simply transfer him to the capital to enjoy a comfortable old age.

Although he holds real power on this side of the border, but... this power is all trouble and not many benefits!
There is no entertainment, no way to make money, and all I have to worry about is dealing with refugees, roaming monsters, and cultists all day long.

It is his duty to handle it well;

If you don't handle it well, you will be scolded by the king and fined!

Their lives are far worse than those extravagant nobles in the royal capital!

Compared to iron-blooded border nobles like the Countess of Ceylon and the Marquis of Nochima, Kalezi is more like a royal noble who likes to stay in the rear and enjoy life.

When talking about the transfer of command, Count Carlez also had his own explanation:
"This is not dereliction of duty, let alone shirking responsibility."

"I am clearly handing over professional matters to more capable people!"

"The Crusaders have extensive experience in fighting monsters and cultists, so they will definitely find it easy to deal with something like the Monster Red Tide. No one understands monsters better than them!"

"If you ask me, His Majesty is too old-fashioned. He insists on following the so-called thousand-year covenant and doesn't know how to adapt."

"It would be better to entrust the border defense to the Glowing God Cult. They are the professionals who are best at exterminating monsters."

"I think everyone has heard about it!"

"The Archbishop promised me personally."

"They are going to reinforce the [Past Glory] barrier this year to strengthen the effect of the magic!"

"And—it's free!"

"The entire ceremony is carried out by the Glorious God Cult themselves, and they prepare all the materials for the ceremony themselves. The kingdom does not need to pay them even a single gold coin!"

"Leave the border defense to the Glowing God Cult, everyone can rest assured!"

"Let's play music and dance!"
