A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

The tall man dropped the child, a dagger already in his hand. He leaped forward and thrust the dagger out. His movements were so swift that they made a whistling sound.

It is indeed in line with the exquisite application of daggers.

This person's elite strength is probably not achieved by taking drugs, but is awakened in a real life-threatening battle.

Of course this is of no use.

Thomas had already dodged the attack by moving sideways, and at the same time, he grabbed the opponent's wrist and pulled it towards him.

He took advantage of the situation and kicked the opponent between the chest and abdomen.

This time, he didn't hold back at all.

The strength of a high-ranking Nation Protector was already far beyond the capabilities of a normal person. Furthermore, because Thomas had grabbed her wrist, she couldn't break free and had to absorb the full force.

With this kick, the opponent's sternum to lumbar vertebrae were all broken in an instant with a crackling sound.

He raised his head and was about to vomit blood when Thomas stabbed him in the face with an unloaded pistol.

Blood spurted towards the open space at an angle.

Thomas then let go of him and let him fall.

As for the rest... well, Thomas didn't need to put in any effort. The soldiers had already rushed forward, a scene of flashing swords and sabers.

The elite soldiers blessed with magic were completely one-sided in dealing with this mob.

To be honest, the biggest loss is the gaps left by swords.

"Little guy, are you okay?" Thomas looked at the boy who climbed up beside him, and squatted down to be at the same height as him.

"Now, young man, tell me, where did you find this fragment?"

After a few minutes, Thomas stood up.

His face looked ugly.

Indeed, a few months ago, a group of pirates who came from nowhere had occupied the entire island and forced the villagers to help them disguise and hide.

Their base for mooring ships is on the other side of the island, built by digging a small canal. Ships can only enter and exit at specific times of high tide each day. Even foreign ships circumnavigating the island would be unnoticed for a while.

This child is the nephew of the knight who went to the island!

The knight was under siege and sent the boy to deliver the message, but he himself might have been in trouble.

Damn, if a knight were to be killed in such a small place, it would be a huge loss! The entire knight order only has about 200 knights!

And this is no ordinary knight.

If the Knights need to set up a forward base here in the future, he will be the best person to stay here!

"Andrea, assemble your forces immediately, and everyone go to the village to rescue! No one needs to stay here!"

"Sir, what should we do with the prisoners?" asked Andrea.

After only a few minutes of fighting, the pirates who rushed out were either killed or surrendered, and only a very small number were able to escape.

"Where are the prisoners? There are only dead bodies here!" Thomas shouted.

Chapter 218: Bandit Suppression 4

On the rugged path, Thomas looked into the distance.

There was an inexplicable hope and interest in his eyes because he saw something he wanted.

A secret haven!

Very amazing terrain.

This island should be the result of crustal movement, forming a small lake.

It's called a lake, but it's actually seawater. The lake is connected to the open sea. Specifically, they're separated at low tide and connected at high tide.

Because of this, if you don't go deep into the island and just observe it from a boat on the sea, you won't notice this.

Someone dug a ditch here.

This allows ships to enter the lake during high tide.

So there is a relatively hidden port here.

This place can really be used as a secret base to ambush a fleet.

It is of little use in normal times, but at critical moments, especially when the enemy army is besieging Rhodes Island, it is equivalent to arranging an army to hide behind the enemy and wait for an opportunity to act.

It can definitely produce great results, at least it can restrain enemies that are far more numerous than itself.

While he was observing this wonderful natural terrain, the battle continued in the forest.

There were already corpses lying in the forest.

The battle broke out on the village side, and then the enemy retreated step by step and retreated to this side.

Fortunately, the knight who was responsible for returning to his hometown to inquire did not die - although he was seriously injured, he survived.

For Thomas now, as long as he can keep his life, it’s fine.

He also easily learned about the pirate situation on the island - the pirates set up their base deep inside the island, near the small lake. They used the natural terrain to hide themselves, and then sent a small number of accomplices to suppress the villagers to avoid outsiders' detection.

It should be noted that these pirates were neither Christians nor Star and Crescent believers, but pure pirates. When they robbed others, they never looked at whether the flags on them were crosses or stars and crescents.

Of course Thomas wants to eradicate all the evil...especially to get the pirates' months of spoils!

At this moment, along with the Knights' charge, there were also bursts of screams coming from the forests on the mountain.

The knights who were blessed with various magics were simply not something these rabble could resist.

All Thomas had to do was follow behind.

Suddenly, there was a hissing sound in the air, and a feather arrow flew out from the woods ahead.

However, Thomas already had the ability to identify weapons by sound, and he casually swung his sword and knocked the flying arrow to the ground.

He picked up the arrow. The tip of the black iron arrowhead had a light blue poisonous coating, making it a sharp weapon.

These pirates are well-equipped.

I guess they are not the poor people from the Mediterranean coast, but from other places.

"It seems that this place is not very friendly to our visit." Thomas said casually to Radagast beside him.

This old magician is quite shrewd. Although no one knows why he went to the island, he has been by Thomas' side since he got there.

"Exactly," Radagast laughed. "So the Grand Master should teach them more about hospitality!"

We learned from the villagers that these pirates had made great gains in the past few months and their treasures were piled up in their lair.

"Grandmaster, these pirates... are putting up a pretty strong resistance," a knight approached from behind. "They don't look like pirates, but more like... regular troops?"

"Regular army? Interesting!" Thomas thought about it and found it quite interesting.

In this situation, facing the overwhelming advantage of the enemy, most of the pirates chose to fight to the end.

Not surrendering would have been fine, but not even fleeing was truly worthy of praise.

Of course this doesn't help!

The pirate's lair is high up on the hillside, where a rather crude wooden castle is built. Of course, it would be more appropriate to call it a "stockade".

It was not high tide, so the boats could not leave. The remaining pirates retreated into the village.

Thomas and others quickly went up the mountain along the path and arrived at the entrance of the village.

The stockade did not stop the Knights; in fact, it was so crude that some had already rushed in.

Possessing the finest equipment and magical enhancements, the Knights' soldiers were extremely powerful. The elite knights, in particular, were like war machines, charging headlong into battle.

Even standing outside the door, you can hear all kinds of fighting sounds inside.

Someone opened the door from the inside.

A group of soldiers outside rushed forward.

Thomas waited patiently until all the soldiers rushed in before going in.

The builders of this village were quite ambitious and built a large fortress, a typical three-story castle structure. It was precisely because of this that it could not be considered completely completed, making it easy for the Knights to attack.

The ground was littered with corpses, blood, and broken swords. It was clear that the pirates were fighting desperately.

Several people passed through the outer layer of the village and entered the inner layer.

There is a building here, or what might be called the long hall of the castle.

Dozens of remaining pirates gathered here.

These pirates were also well-equipped, all wearing heavy armor that was no less impressive than the Knights, and much better than the average, poor pirate.

"You... finally made me angry!" A man walked out of the long hall.

He was wearing a set of armor with a strong religious ritual flavor. It was shining with gold, but it was impossible to tell which religion it belonged to.

"General! General!" Seeing the man coming out, the pirates seemed to have found their backbone, and their expressions changed from fear to fanaticism.

No, more than just fanaticism.

Thomas clearly felt the fluctuation of magical energy.

He immediately took out his eyepatch and put it on himself.

That’s right, there is a golden light shining from inside the long hall... No, that’s not golden light, but a halo?

The halo is centered inside the long hall, but a large area around it is within the halo's range of influence.

This halo also impacts the magic of the knights, making the magical aura unstable.

This feeling... is very similar to the Wolf God's domain, except that it's far less powerful.

The pirates were no longer nervous or fearful, but relaxed, even beginning to smile nervously. Then, at the leader's command, they charged out fearlessly, engaging the Knights in a head-on confrontation.

Their speed increased and their strength increased greatly. Although they were inferior to the Knights' warriors, the gap was not that big.

Not only that, they were clearly in an unnatural state, completely irrational and mad, attacking without regard for their own safety, seeking only to kill, not to protect themselves.

The leader known as "General" transformed into a ray of golden light and rushed forward at high speed, engaging in a battle with Knight Andrea on the front line.

He was armed with twin swords, one silver-white, the other crimson, seemingly magical. Their interlocking attacks forced Andrea back. Andrea could only defend herself, unable to fight back.

The two swords slashed continuously, leaving behind afterimages and slashing on Andrea's shield.

Andrea was lucky to have his sword and shield, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand so many blows. But in the end, he was slashed by the layers of powerful blows, and his shield couldn't hold on, leaving him wide open.

"Hahahahaha!! Go to hell!" The leader swung his sword, which grazed Andrea's helmet. The force was so strong that it directly broke the strap of the helmet and knocked the helmet away.

Another sword followed, slashing towards his face.

Chapter 219: Bandit Suppression 5

Just as he was about to lose the sword, a spear suddenly came from the side and hit the leader's side accurately. It failed to break his armor, but the force was enough to push him away.

Andrea escaped death and retreated again and again.

"How dare you stop me!" The leader was furious and turned his target to Thomas who was holding a spear.

Under the slashing of the sword, cracks appeared on the solid hardwood spear handle.

This is based on the premise that Thomas used the force-releasing technique.

This guy's feeling is very strange. In the spiritual field, he is obviously only at the elite level, but he makes Thomas lose the effect of status suppression.

When fighting with this person, I no longer have that extremely strong intuition.

However, without personal suppression, it won't have any impact.

Because Thomas has an overwhelming advantage in both speed and strength. This is another way for the national defense to suppress the elite.
