A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

More than a dozen knights collapsed into the stream, powerless to resist, their blood almost dyeing the stream red.

The Knight Commander was hit by a javelin and nailed to the stream. His body twitched and he soon died.

But Polei didn't care, because he had seen Darissa gasping for breath. Now, she couldn't even hide it.

Killing an elite warrior is not that easy. In addition, she had suffered some rare injuries in the previous round of battle.

These knights are indeed much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Although they still couldn't stop the Protector of the Country, it would take even more effort to kill all the knights.

"You, come on!" Polei turned his gaze to Thomas.

Thomas felt heavy in his heart.

That woman still had at least three javelins on her body! Those javelins were not something a normal person could dodge.

If we rush forward now, we will die.

"Sir, are we going to charge forward like this? We should at least get a giant shield. Otherwise, we will be seeking our death," Thomas suggested.

"I told you to charge!" Polei didn't even look at Thomas, but just stared at the flying rocks coming from afar, estimating the frequency.

The woman was indeed tired, and fewer and fewer stones were flying towards her.

"If we cross the river and she attacks us now, won't we just die in vain?"

When crossing the stream, there was no room to dodge. Facing the javelin that was as powerful as a cannon, it was simply suicide.

"This is a battle, and I'm the commander now!" Polei turned his gaze and stared at Thomas. "Even if it means death, you must fight!"

"...Sir, are you forcing me?" Thomas was furious. This was definitely a suicide pact.

"When I count to three, you can either be killed by the enemy or executed by me. You choose one." Polei said coldly.

With a clang, he drew his scimitar and pointed it at Thomas!

Chapter 88: Protecting the Nation 9

The tip of Polei's knife was pointed directly at Thomas and the others.

Not only him, but also several members of the supervisory team around Polei turned around and faced Thomas and others with grim expressions.

Thomas glanced at his men.

Everyone's face was either pale or red, and they were obviously extremely nervous.

Polei was alone, and even if you counted all the other trusted subordinates who were supervising the battle, there were only three or four people.

But a little further away, there were hundreds of elite soldiers.

If they disobeyed orders... Although those hundreds of elite soldiers were here to capture the little prince, if Polei really turned against them, these troops would immediately besiege Thomas and the others.

Thomas couldn't defeat the Protectorate, so he would die if he went up.

He couldn't defeat so many hundreds of elite soldiers. Even if he could escape now, the end result would be disgrace and he would be wanted and hunted down. In the end, he would still be in a life-or-death situation.

This is a life-and-death game. If you go in, you die. If you don’t go in, you also die!

Thomas took a deep breath, calming himself. This was the terrible backlash of fate.

Suddenly, he had an immense desire to be strong.

If he was protecting the country, who could force him into this dead end? If I am not welcome here, I will find another place to stay. If I am not welcome anywhere, I will join the Eighth Route Army!

"Sir..." Thomas suddenly said again. "I'm afraid we've fallen into a trap!"

Polei narrowed his eyes and stared at Thomas.

Originally, he planned to take action directly to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and see who else dared to disobey his orders.

He just said to count to three, and now the "one" is already at his lips.

But when he heard the other party's suggestion, his heart moved slightly, but he swallowed the "one" back.

"Tell me about it!" He remained rational after all, and if there was a better plan, it wasn't impossible to adopt it. "If you want to deceive me, you're overthinking it!"

Thomas said sternly, "Sir, I'm afraid we've been seduced by this cunning woman and have forgotten our original intention. You know, our target is the little prince, not this woman!"

"Ah?" Polei was slightly startled.

"This woman is holding her ground here, seemingly hiding the little prince behind her. But," Thomas emphasized the word "but," "this might all be a scam!"

"The little prince is probably not here right now, but somewhere nearby, or even running away!" he said. "This woman is just distracting us! She's making us lose sight of our real goal."

"If that's the case, we don't even need to fight this woman now. We can just send a small force to capture the little prince, and everything will be over. On the contrary, if we stay here and fight her to the death, the little prince will only escape far enough away. If this woman finds an opportunity to break through the encirclement and escape, we will be completely defeated."

"But you also said that this is just a guess, a possibility!" Polei replied. "What if you guess wrong?"

"If we guess wrong, it'll just be a waste of a little time," Thomas said. "If the little prince is right here, then she can't escape! Besides, we'll know if we just take a little action."

"If the little prince is here, then no matter how we move, it will not affect her defense."

"If she breaks out and escapes as soon as we mobilize, it means the little prince isn't here at all!"

What Thomas said does make sense.

At least from Polei's perspective now, it is indeed reasonable.

Although he didn't mind exchanging human lives for the other party's fatigue, it would be a different matter if the little prince was not here.

After all, his target was the little prince.

If the other party is just bait, there is no need to waste your own combat power in vain.

A moment later, Polei quickly gave orders. Soon, the surrounding troops split up, some still surrounding the city, while others clearly moved in other directions.

Especially the hunting dogs, which barked constantly.

Suddenly, a shout came from the flank: "The enemy has broken through!"

Darisa, however, had already broken through the side of the originally difficult-to-climb slope. This woman had indeed practiced her skills! Ordinary terrain couldn't restrict her at all.

Of course, the encirclement was very tight and there were many soldiers over there, so there was a lot of shouting for a while.

On the contrary, Thomas and others who were in the middle position could only mobilize troops for support while waiting for battle reports from the other side.

A few minutes later, someone came to report.

"Sir, that demon girl named Darissa charged into the team from the side and killed more than half of the hound team's men and dogs."

Polei's face turned grim, Thomas guessed right.

The little prince was not here at all. This was a trap. The woman chose this advantageous terrain to consume the enemy troops.

"But we hit him too. She was shot twice."

"Where did it hit?" Polei asked.

"One hit the back, and another hit the thigh!"

Polei thought calmly, it was obvious that now was the time to make a decision.

Should we pursue them relentlessly and achieve our goal in one fell swoop, or give up and wait patiently for reinforcements to arrive from the rear?

This loss, especially that of the hounds, will soon be made up.

This time it was not a failure, and it had greatly weakened the woman.

But on the other hand, the woman had been here before, obviously waiting for someone, or some people, to pick her up.

But in this dire situation, she might give up waiting here. Or perhaps, someone would arrive?

If we give up and choose to escape, or if the rescuers arrive, it will be difficult to deal with the situation here.

"How many more dogs are there?"

"There's only one injured one left, but it should still be able to move!"

"Chase!" Polei made up his mind. The longer the night, the more trouble there is. Now that the woman was so weakened, he didn't believe he couldn't handle her! "Everyone, follow!"

Things have come to this point. We have come a long way and cannot afford to fail at the last moment!

He strode forward, his movements very agile and quick.

Over there, his men were still tightly stalking their prey.

Although that woman was powerful and could literally defeat a thousand enemies with one horse, she was just occupying the advantageous terrain.

It would be different if we were truly freed from being besieged from all sides.

Apart from anything else, she couldn't really withstand bullets and arrows after all - no matter how good she was at dodging, she would still be hit by bullets if she stayed there for a while.

Polei followed the sound.

It is important to note that his attention never left Thomas.

Thomas was stared at by him, but he had no choice but to follow him.

Darissa ran fast, but she had no luck.

The forest terrain is complex and not flat. While running, there may be no road ahead, and you can only turn back and take a detour.

So even though she was fast, she was still unable to escape the pursuit.

Chapter 89: Fierce Battle 1

The chase in the forest is intense from the start.

Battle cries could be heard in the distance.

Someone else was engaged in a fierce battle with Darissa. They were from the other squads.

Darisa's physical strength has obviously decreased a lot now, and her leg injury has slowed down her speed.

Although it is still faster than the average person, the injury will get worse over time.

But you can’t help but think she is really amazing.

Before, I saw her fighting with a battle axe from the front, but now it feels different from the side.

The battle axe in her hand was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, with an extremely abnormal rhythm. Just watching her swinging the axe from a distance, one could feel a strange and uncomfortable feeling in their heart.

When you look at her from the front, you can only see her killing people with one axe at a time, as if she were chopping melons and vegetables.

But now, she could sense a strangeness. Sometimes, just when she'd be expected to attack quickly, she'd suddenly slow down, even switching to attacking another enemy. Just when she'd assumed she'd slow down, she'd suddenly burst forth from an unimaginable angle, catching the enemy off guard.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten people were chopped down.

The sounds of fighting grew farther and farther away, punctuated by the screams of soldiers.

In fact, not all of them were fatally injured.

Thomas saw several soldiers lying on the ground. Although they were not injured, they were still lying there unable to get up.

This was not caused by any sword energy, but everyone was frightened and timid.

The power of protecting the country is really terrifying. Going up there is like seeking death!

The other soldiers in the distance did not dare to approach again, and could only watch her fight her way out and escape again.

The pursuers, on the other hand, were unable to pick up speed. This was because of Polei's previous high pressure, which made everyone afraid to speed up, lest they be dragged along and used as cannon fodder.

Even with the full efforts of Polei and a few of his closest associates, it was of little use. In fact, more and more people were falling behind.

Everyone saw and remembered what happened just now.

On the other side, Darisa found that there was a dead end ahead and had to turn back and take a detour, which led to a battle with the pursuers behind.

Facing dozens of pursuers, he easily broke through the encirclement, and broke through from the front. The battle axe killed everyone in all directions, and screams rang out one after another.

There is still this kind of combat power now... It's simply shocking!

Thomas looked carefully and saw that teams of soldiers over there screamed and fell to the ground before they even got close to the enemy.

Even with a casual swing of Darisa's axe, a soldier ten meters away dropped his weapon and fell to the ground, covering his chest with his hands, as if he was injured by the sword energy.

But there is nothing we can do. We can only say that everyone has a desire to survive.

Facing a national defense, the morale of the soldiers was actually very low. No one cared about getting promoted or getting rich, but only wanted to stay alive.

All those who still had fantasies of achieving great things are dead.

Polei no longer had time to worry about these trivial matters, because he also realized that the woman was really dying. From the situation of the previous few battles, anyone could see that her movement speed was much slower than at the beginning.
