A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

After getting to know him better, he gradually became less taciturn than he was at the beginning.

After all, as a human being, we need to communicate and exchange.

After eating, they each found a place and wrapped themselves in blankets to rest.

Thomas turned his attention to the magic network.

The energy of the magic net is continuously injected into the body and then spreads throughout the body.

Continuously stimulating the body brings about systemic strengthening and enhances oneself.

He now understood why the strength of national defense-level warriors was judged by age.

This feeling of becoming stronger every moment made him feel quite comfortable.

The dissatisfaction caused by the previous delay was slightly relieved.

Chapter 60: Arrogance 2

Another day passed, and the sun set as usual.

The recent wave of temperature increases has been so rapid that even the nights in the mountains have become lively.

The sounds of insects and birds are already rising and falling.

On the hillside about one kilometer away from the convoy, several dark figures were standing motionless, gazing at the flames on the road from afar.

"Really... unexpectedly lax. It took you so long to arrive... a waste of our time!"

The leader's voice was gloomy and dissatisfied, and he was obviously surprised. At the same time, he was a little anxious and even angry because of the long wait.

"Sir, are we going to take action tonight? They didn't enter the camp we expected, which is a bit tricky."

The convoy camped randomly on the roadside, thus avoiding the ambush zone deliberately chosen by the enemy. It can only be said that it was a lucky coincidence.

"Don't worry, we're in numbers!" said another person nearby. "We've got an insider."

There weren't many people originally, but the other side was slow, which gave us plenty of time to gather people.

There are many masters coming with them this time, and they are a coalition formed by various forces of the Star Moon Sect.

Mainly to deal with the Byzantine prince.

During the long wars between countries, there are few secrets that can be hidden.

For example, many people know that the prince is a half-step protector of the country.

Some say that the emperor purchased a divine revelation for him, while others say that he used a treasure passed down from the emperor's ancestors.

Although there are many people, not all of them are elite.

In fact, there are only about ten real elites, and the rest are cannon fodder.

After all, if you want to act, you have to act realistically, and if you want to act realistically, you will definitely have to pay a price.

"Let's act now, before it gets too late," the leader said coldly. "Remember, our mission is to distract the prince and Thomas's guards, creating an opportunity for the traitor. Unless there's a perfect opportunity, we'll prioritize creating chaos."

"How strong is this Thomas?"

"There's a 50% chance he's a mid-level warrior, and another 50% chance he's just entered the elite level. But I don't know what his extraordinary abilities are."

"If he has just entered the elite ranks, he probably isn't even proficient in using his extraordinary abilities yet. It won't be difficult to deal with him," said the leader.

The two accomplices responsible for the action were both elite fighters.

Two against one, normally one faces the enemy head-on and the other attacks from behind, and the battle can be resolved in a very short time.

"That would be the best. But, sir, how strong is that prince? Can he be led away successfully? What if he keeps holding onto us..."

Although they acted together, they were not part of the same faction after all, so it was normal to ask more questions.

"Why do you think you sent me here?" the leader sneered. "As long as we have bows, crossbows, and muskets ready, the prince won't dare pursue us. Also, get the cannons ready."

There's nothing better than a cannon to create chaos. You don't have to expect to hit anything, just scatter the enemy team.

The chief said this and drew his weapon. His target was the prince.

The others followed closely behind, silently drawing various weapons.

On the other side, Thomas and his companions were having dinner by the caravan's campfire.

Thomas was eating when he suddenly looked startled and looked up into the distance.

The two people beside him looked at Thomas in confusion.

"Who!?" At this moment, someone in the distance suddenly shouted.

Then there was a sound of metal clashing.

"Something's happening!" Andrea was experienced and immediately stood up, picking up his weapon.

Joseph said nothing, but his movements were no slower than his companion's. Both of them had serious expressions.

Thomas finally stood up slowly and looked over there.

The piles of fires in the camp were the only source of light in the dark night, and beyond the firelight, there was complete darkness.

In the darkness, something broke through the air.

It was arrows! However, the camp was built around carts, so the long-range attacks would just harmlessly hit the carts.

Several guards, confident in their strength, rushed out from the convoy. The sound of fighting could be heard from the forest.

But the enemy was not only in that direction. Thomas looked in several other directions and also noticed that there were dark shadows approaching quickly.

The maids and servants who had no martial arts skills screamed and fled towards the center of the camp, while all those who had martial arts skills picked up their weapons and prepared to fight the incoming enemies.

After all, they were the prince's team, so they were not in chaos even if they were attacked.

Several people rushed out from the darkness and headed towards this side, but Andrea had already taken the initiative to meet them.

His swordsmanship was extremely fast, like a violent storm. He fought one against two enemies and actually managed to block both of them.

Two elite...

No, not two.

The perception ability of the spiritual field is much stronger than that of the mental field. Not only is the perception ability stronger, but the "bandwidth" is also enhanced.

Because Thomas found that he could sense everyone within a certain range at the same time without any effort.

Not just one person, but everyone, able to detect every movement of them.

Of course, this must be done when he is fully focused on the spiritual field.

So he noticed the battle on the other side, and the prince was actually fighting with a half-step protector of the country!

The fight between the two half-step protectors of the nation... was extraordinary. No matter their speed or strength, no ordinary person could match them.

The prince had the upper hand, but the opponent fought and retreated, slowly leaving the range of the spiritual field and disappearing into the forest.

Aside from these two, the others were also caught up in the melee. Thomas should have taken action, but he had no desire to do so.

These assassins who rushed out were not as impressive as imagined. In fact, most of them retreated while fighting after a brief exchange, retreating into the forest and taking the guards with them.

It's more like covering than fighting.

Thomas felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what.

He has two guards protecting him, so there is no need to rush.

Andrea and Joseph will not be easily led away. Their main goal is to protect the Grand Commander.

For a moment, there were sounds of fighting and killing everywhere.

Thomas turned his attention away from the spiritual field and looked around.

Otherwise, standing there like this would easily attract attention and even lead to misunderstanding.

This group of people came suddenly and strangely. What was their purpose? Was their trajectory directed at the prince or at him?

To be honest... it doesn't look like...

He looked neither like a bandit nor an assassin. If anything, he looked more like a drill.

Of course, the blood and screams at the scene proved that Thomas' idea was absolutely wrong.

At this time, a little behind Thomas, a man and a woman in attendant clothes were leaning against the carriage, staring nervously at the two warring parties fighting outside.

The only difference between these two and the others was that although they appeared to be looking outside, their feet were unconsciously moving closer to Thomas.

The two of them occasionally exchanged glances, obviously agreeing on a secret code.

The distance is gradually getting closer.

Ten steps... eight steps... five steps...

Suddenly, a roar was heard in the distance.

A loud noise that makes the whole person's ears vibrate slightly.

"Be careful, it's artillery!" Someone let out a shrill roar.

Chapter 61: Arrogance 3

With a loud bang, the shell came over.

A little away from Thomas, the ground was bombarded and exploded, splashing out countless mud, sand and gravel.

Amidst exclamations and screams of fear, the people gathered in the convoy completely dispersed.

In this situation, if they still gather together, they will become sitting ducks.

Everyone automatically dispersed and found a place to hide, while the cows and horses growled and neighed, spreading their hooves and galloping away.

Thomas also rushed into the nearest forest immediately.

Although artillery is powerful, it is useless in the forest.

Thomas was also surprised. He never expected that these assassins would dare to use artillery!

Could it be that they were using the idea of ​​"infantry harassment and artillery bombardment"?

This is not impossible. After all, when Thomas was in Kiev, he knew that there was a knight whose extraordinary ability was to control artillery.

His artillery never misses a target.

But...it seems that is not the case.

Thomas looked up and around.

It was dark, but… I could see just fine. Even with Thomas's eyesight, he couldn't see beyond twenty paces. But the spiritual field didn't care about that.

“Who’s there?” Thomas shouted.

Just now, there was a lot of flying gravel and dirt in the air, and everyone could only take care of themselves. Thomas also took the opportunity to get rid of the two guards.

Because he had long noticed that someone was following him.

It is not convenient for me to perform well with guards.

Two figures appeared, one in front and one behind, in two directions.

The two people, one male and one female, were dressed as servants. Although Thomas couldn't pronounce their names, they looked familiar. They were indeed the prince's attendants.

He didn't just change his clothes to get in.

I could clearly feel the murderous intent, which was beyond words.

"Can you tell me why you attacked me?" Thomas took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry," the man said coldly, looking around carefully, as if to make sure there was no one else around.

"The Prince's order? No, it's not!" Thomas narrowed his eyes. Reasonably, the Prince wouldn't do that, or rather, he didn't need to.

It must be an insider lurking in the team!

Is this what the teacher wanted to achieve? Fishing? Two fish took the bait.

The fishing effect is unexpectedly good.

However, it was a bit of a waste to only catch two small fish with the bait that I prepared with great effort!

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for becoming the head of this group!" the man growled, "Do it!"
