Chapter 92 Shocking Effects of Divine Grace

The effect of Xilude's perfect answer was beyond Su Li's imagination.

For the first time, the miracle was so clearly displayed in front of every soldier and every slave in the territory.

The miracle that appeared at this moment was worth more than a thousand words. The morale of the entire army suddenly soared. It seemed as if countless courage and strength surged in every soldier's body, and their training became extremely active.

This scene had an even greater impact on the Sun Goddess's Combat Pilgrimage Group. Immediately, two apprentice knights and six mounted armed attendants knelt on one knee in front of Hildreth, expressing their willingness to follow her in pursuit of the Goddess's will.

These knights all believed that Hildreth, bathed in the glory and grace of the Sun Goddess, would surely become a holy chosen knight and carry out the Goddess's will among the mortals.

What made Su Li's heart beat even more was the transformation of Xilude. Against the backdrop of the golden light, Xilude closed her eyes, her delicate face heroic, holy, and beautiful, making his heart beat faster and his blood surge. At this moment, she was truly beautiful and radiant. Such a beautiful woman was his, and she always gently met all his needs. Su Li felt a sense of blasphemy at this moment.

Besides the changes in her appearance, Hildreth had also grown considerably taller, now standing at at least 175cm tall, with her round, beautiful legs exceptionally long. She wielded a sharp rune sword, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight, the patterns on her armor burning like flames. In that moment, she was practically the embodiment of the goddess's will on earth, incredibly beautiful, divine, and noble. Though not yet at the level of a Chosen Knight, her appearance and demeanor already possessed the grace and elegance of a Chosen Knight.

Then she slowly opened her eyes, and a sharp and bright light bloomed from her eyes. She swung the sword with her right hand, and a blazing light flashed on the cold blade. Then air surged around her body, and golden light flickered on her sophisticated armor.

She looked at Su Li, a faint and confident smile on her lips: "My Lord, I have broken through to the initial stage of Apprentice Knight. I will recover my strength as soon as possible in the next few days."

hiss~
Su Li took a breath of cold air. What kind of terrifying talent did Xilude have now?
The baptism of divine grace had just reset her cultivation to zero, leaving her with only the strength of a mortal, and all her bloodline energy had been washed away. However, with just a wave of her sword, she broke through to the level of an apprentice knight!
Is this doubling the qualifications?

For the first time, Su Li doubted the accuracy of the intelligence system. It felt like the quality had improved by at least 3 to 5 times!

When Hildreth broke through to the level of an apprentice knight in just two hours, it was already shocking and amazing.

Now she can break through and awaken to the extraordinary with just a simple wave of her arm. Can this speed be explained by doubling it?
But soon, Su Li realized that the shock he had just experienced was nothing!
After Xilude finished her lunch, she had just finished three pounds of fire velvet rabbit meat. The glistening oil on her lips had not yet dissipated when she slowly raised her head and stared at Su Li, saying calmly, "My Lord, I have broken through and returned to the official knight stage."

Su Li was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair. Is this the terrifying qualification of the God-chosen Knight?!

But soon, Su Li's shock turned into ecstasy. He excitedly stepped forward, cupped Hildre's cheek, and forcefully kissed her rosy lips: "My baby, you really gave me a huge surprise! Perhaps you will break through to the elite level faster than before the baptism of divine grace!"

Xilude gently responded to Su Li's kiss, and at the same time carefully used her hands to block the corner of the table to avoid bumping into the excited Su Li.

After Su Li finished the excited kiss, she slowly spoke with determination, "My Lord, I will strive to break through to the elite level before the green tide arrives. Perhaps one of the three giant Anarric plants will be my prey."

Cross-level battle?
Su Li couldn't help but feel excited and said, "I believe you can do it. Maybe I can give you some help. Follow me to the east side of the castle."

Xilude let Su Li hold her wrist and take her all the way to the ranch in the northeast of the territory.

At this time, a large number of halfling archers and the territory's elite troops had gathered in the ranch.

These two squadrons of elite troops are the absolute main force of the territory. After mobilization and alliance, although this battle can gather a team of nearly 800 people, it is actually these 200 elite soldiers who can truly determine the direction of the battlefield.

Even if the other temporarily recruited freemen, workers, and slaves were trained, their greatest use was to help maintain the front line. Only after the main force decided the outcome could they follow and chase the enemy or suffer a crushing defeat.

Among these more than 60 elite soldiers, at least knights were wearing sophisticated heavy plate armor, the remaining hundreds were wearing chain mail, and most of those wearing leather armor were archers and a small number of spear-armed attendants.

Standing before the archers was Hartzklin, leader of the Balandonborn family. The elderly halfling, holding a pipe, tapped the ash on the greaves of the ogre bull warrior guarding her. She asked fearfully, "Is there really a terrifying wyvern roaming around? I don't think this is right. Although the Hessen Territory is fertile, it seems more dangerous than we imagined."

She was a halfling, so she was naturally timid and not as tough as her human comrades, so her voice was trembling.

When she first saw this territory, the sight of so many knights in dazzling armor gave her immense confidence, leading her to believe that such a powerful lord would surely be able to protect the territory. But now it seemed that while the lord's army was powerful, the potential threat was even greater. In response to Hatsklin's question, Su Li didn't directly answer, but instead said calmly, "You'd better pray it comes here. Killing it will greatly reduce future risks. Otherwise, if it discovers our territory from elsewhere, it will pose an even greater threat to us in the future."

Su Li left Schwartz and Ron to lead the Battle Pilgrims to train the army in the territory, while he personally brought a large number of elite troops and halfling archers here to ambush the wyvern and ensure that it could not fly away!
The wyvern is also known as the stepping stone of the knight master and the whetstone of the champion knight. This is because basically all the champion-level knights with names have killed a wyvern.

But don't underestimate these flying dragons. They can be regarded as powerful flying monsters among the dragon's followers, whose strength is second only to that of the dragon.

Each wyvern is as powerful as a champion knight. The powerful wyvern king even has the ability to hunt and kill young dragons, and can compete with the chosen knights.

These ominous beasts lurk high in the mountains, usually inhabiting dark caves but also hunting in the foothill plains when driven by hunger. They are winged reptiles that feed on carrion and bear a tenuous resemblance to dragons.

Their appearance is almost the same as that of a dragon, except that they lack forelimbs and are much smaller.

It is a large, scaly bull with poor eyesight and a vicious temper.

The most dangerous orc warlords sometimes ride wyverns that they have personally raised, or at least tamed.

The Dwarves have many amusing stories of wyverns betraying their riders at inconvenient moments, such as during a duel.

Human legends about it are more about its curse. It is said that the shadow of the wyvern can bring destruction to everything it covers.

Of course, many farmers were saddened by this, as the shadow inevitably meant their flocks would soon be short of a sheep or two. Some claimed the "Curse of the Wyvern" was real, as Wyverns were particularly fond of sheep, and so in many places the sight of a Wyvern's flying shadow became a particularly bad omen.

Su Li wanted to use this characteristic of the pterosaur to attract it.

At this moment, it was soaring in the sky searching for potential enemies for its mistress. Nothing on the vast plains around it could attract it more than the flocks of sheep in the Hessen Territory pastures.

As long as it flies westward and reaches the foothills of the Heisen Mountains, it will definitely pounce on the more than 400 sheep that Su Li has specially gathered to graze in this pasture.

Su Li said to Hirud beside him, "If the wyvern swoops down, I plan to let Knight Orstein fight it alone. You can take this opportunity to learn how to fight at the champion level. It might be helpful for you to fight at a higher level."

"If the wyvern shows any signs of trying to escape, you must immediately lead your men to attack it. Don't let it escape at any cost."

Upon hearing Su Li's plan, Knight Orstein excitedly grasped his warhammer and said boldly, "Hilde, please don't act rashly. This wyvern is my prey. Cutting off its head will be a significant deed of mine, and the bards will sing of it."

Hirud gripped the hilt of his sword and planted it in the fertile grass before him. He spoke calmly, "Rest assured, our Lord Commander, I will not easily interfere with your honorable battle. We will only attack if it is about to flee the pasture. But be careful, too. Wyverns have poor eyesight and can easily mistake a powerful opponent for a weak one, launching a ferocious attack. This allows them to consistently achieve incredible victories in battles where they have absolutely no chance of winning."

"Haha, great." Knight Orstein showed no fear and laughed heartily, saying, "I trust your judgment, Hilde. From now on, the soldiers will be under your command."

After Knight Orstein gave his orders, he approached the flock of sheep with his war hammer in hand. He was lucky because just as dusk fell, a cry of surprise came from the team.

"What's that huge shadow on the eastern horizon?"

"It's the wyvern! The wyvern is really here."

Following bursts of exclamations, everyone looked up at the sky. The blood-red light of the setting sun shone down, illuminating a ferocious and majestic flying monster. It spread its huge wings, like a shadow covering the sky, and came roaring towards them swiftly.
