A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

The effective killing range is not very far, probably only two or three times larger than the attack range of Qi Lifting Slash.

Incidentally, using vacuum waves to attack was something he couldn't do at the elite stage. In fact, at that time, although Andrea named his extraordinary ability "Sonic Speed", he didn't actually reach the speed of sound.

At least it wouldn't make the kind of sky-tearing explosion that's happening now.

He took a step forward and swung his second sword.

The speed is unimaginable.

This is no longer a sword move, but an extraordinary ability.

A sword that can exceed the speed of sound cannot be wielded by humans relying on their arm strength, not even to protect the country.

Even Huguo's naked eyes could only see a blurry sword shadow.

Ferdinand retreated quickly, out of the range of the longsword's attack, but the vacuum wave that followed still cut off a corner of his robe.

It is completely unblockable and extremely difficult to dodge.

He was horrified.

"You are..." He stared at his former colleague, his expression no longer showing the arrogance and confidence he had just shown. "Protector of the country?"

This kind of extraordinary power, this kind of situation without any intuitive warning...

It can only be to protect the country!

"That's right!" Andrea replied.

But how could it be possible? There seemed to be only one answer... I never expected Andrea to have made a breakthrough in the past few years!

Chapter 303: Persuading Surrender 8

Ferdinand waved his hand and seemed to throw something out.

Andrea was also wary, after all, his opponent was also a patriot.

Although they had worked together before, he did not understand Ferdinand's extraordinary abilities.

So at this moment, he chose to avoid it.

Ferdinand turned and ran.

Andrea dodged an opportunity, and after realizing that the opponent was just feinting, he immediately chased after him.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, chased each other in the corridor of the City Lord's Mansion.

However, Ferdinand was completely focused on escaping, while Andrea always had to leave some room for maneuver. He had to guard against his opponent's extraordinary abilities and counterattack.

As a result, the two people gradually distanced themselves from each other.

Ferdinand leaped over the wall.

A wall that blocks ordinary people is of no use in protecting the country.

After landing, he instantly tore off his conspicuous burqa, threw it away, and rushed into the street.

Andrea was a step slower than him, and when she jumped out she only saw the torn burqa.

Although it was midnight, a fierce battle had broken out during the day, and the aftermath had not yet been dealt with. Quite a few soldiers in armor were walking to and fro on the streets.

But Ferdinand's whereabouts were lost.

He looked left and right but couldn't find the traitor for a moment. He had no choice but to return in disappointment.

As soon as I returned to the gate of the city lord's palace, I ran into Dimitrios head-on. The clerk had already summoned a whole group of soldiers, and more people were coming.

"Andrea?!" Demetrios was very surprised.

He originally thought that Andrea was fighting desperately to hold the opponent back, and now he was either dead or seriously injured.

Unexpectedly, Andrea was not only intact, but also ran outside the City Lord's Mansion.

"You took that traitor..."

"It's a shame I didn't catch him!" Andrea shrugged. "He ran as fast as a mouse!"

Demetrios's expression changed. "What kind of deal did you make with that traitor?"

He didn't believe Andrea could drive Ferdinand away.

Ferdinand is the protector of the country!

Demetrios was very clear about the difference between the two. They were two completely different levels of existence!

"What kind of deal can I make with him?" Andrea gestured at Demetrios, and the soldiers around him gathered around him, facing him in a vigilant posture. "Okay, Secretary... don't look like you're going to kill me. I just drove him away."

"Tell me, how did you get rid of him?!"

Andrea smiled, then suddenly drew out her sword and unleashed a sonic sword move.

The sword tore through the air at supersonic speed, making a loud explosion like a gunshot.

The aftermath of the long sword directly created a vacuum blade, which passed through the gaps in the crowd and cut into the distant wall.

Leaving a deep mark.

"Just drive him away like this!" He smiled and looked around, then sheathed his sword.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone has seen extraordinary abilities before, but this level of power is indeed rare.

Not only that, the attack just now was obviously not Andrea's full strength.

"Andrea...you..." Demetrios's face changed drastically. "Did it work?"

It has come to this, how could you not understand?

"Yes," Andrea said, and inwardly mourned for the secretary.

For some reason, the Grand Master looked down on Demetrios.

Now that I think about it, the Grand Master still has a clear bias... He doesn't consider civilian knights. Not even Demetrios.

The Grand Commander would rather leave the opportunity to defend the country to the brave warriors who charge into battle.

After saying this, he went straight back to his residence without stopping.

A short while later, Andrea was taking off her armor in her room when there was a knock on the door.

He also had a few followers, but unfortunately, there were too many things to do today, and all the available personnel were transferred to deal with the aftermath of the battlefield. Almost all the knights' followers were taken away.

When Andrea opened the door, she was not surprised to see the secretary Dimitrios.

"Andrea, you... are already the protector of the country?" Demetrios came alone without anyone else.

“Yes,” Andrea replied.

"Does the Grand Commander know about this?"

"Of course. He asked me to keep it as secret as possible," Andrea replied.

"When did you succeed... Wait, I remember. You suddenly fasted for several days at that time... Was it that time?" Demetrios asked.

Andrea always seemed normal, except for that one time when she inexplicably had to go on a fast.

Ascetics might practice this, fasting and meditating from time to time, but few of their knights practiced this. So Andrea's last outrageous behavior left a deep impression on Demetrios.

"You are very perceptive, Secretary." Andrea smiled.

"Excellent," Demetrios said, beaming with joy. Now the Knights had two protectors of the kingdom.

This is great news!

Apart from anything else, given the current situation, this means that Smyrna's defense has been strengthened.

A national defender-class soldier is a match for a thousand men. In fact, using a national defender to fight the enemy in a head-to-head battle is the most foolish use of it. Used properly, a national defender-class soldier is far more powerful than a thousand-man army.

……

Outside the city, in the besieging army's camp.

Ferdinand returned to the tent and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, you're back?" The young attendant who stayed in the tent came out to greet him. "Your face..."

There was a bloody gash on Ferdinand's forehead. It wasn't a serious injury, but the blood oozing from the wound and trickling down his head looked quite horrifying.

"It's okay, just a minor injury. Help me take care of the wound!"

The attendant immediately produced various medicines and bandages. "Sir, your attempt to negotiate in the city failed?"

"Failed, and still fought." Ferdinand laughed. Not only did he fight, but he also didn't win!

Although the "Lucky Balance" is an extraordinary ability that is almost like cheating, it is not a direct combat power after all.

So even though Ferdinand was a protector of the country, he still couldn't defeat those protectors who were specialized in combat. He knew this very well.

"Luck" is a cheat-like ability, but the power of luck has a limit.

Just like he couldn't become a protector of the country just by luck.

"But... I finally know Thomas's trump card!" said Ferdinand.

The attendants had already begun bandaging his wound, although the wound was so shallow that it hardly needed bandaging.

Although this attempt to persuade the enemy to surrender failed, he did gain something: he finally completed the last piece of the puzzle.

Thomas's plan was now clear.

This is Thomas's trump card.

A protector of the country!

Moreover, he is a high-ranking member of the Knights Templar, loyal to the Knights Templar, to Thomas, and to Christ.

There is no way he would withdraw halfway, but would fight for the Knights to the end, shedding his last drop of blood!

This is a really powerful card.

"What a pity!" Ferdinand touched the small wound on his head and sighed sarcastically.

One protector of the country cannot stop an army of 200,000!

Section 304 Stalemate

Ferdinand came to his table and sat down.

He mentally sorted out all the information he had. News from various channels flowed through his mind like water.

The time point should be not long after Thomas took office.

According to the intelligence we have, Andrea was serving as Thomas's bodyguard during that period.

Although the Knights suffered heavy losses at that time, Adjutant Andrea did not hold any important position, nor was he responsible for any specific work - to be honest, the Knights did not even have a navy at that time, so there were really no vacancies.

Perhaps Thomas's bloody cross flag played a role in the impetus, or perhaps Andrea finally got his chance.

He relied on his own strength to become a protector of the country.

Thomas must have known about this matter and immediately asked Andrea to keep it secret and suppress the matter as the Knights' trump card.

Thomas's two artifacts are already very powerful, but the value of a national protector should not be underestimated!

This also fully explains why the Star-Moon Sword had failed in several previous operations.

The deceased Grandmaster of the Star-Moon Sword was older and more experienced, so there was no reason for him to make mistakes so often.

But no matter how experienced the Grand Master is, he can't imagine something like "the Knights have one more protector of the country"!

It is extremely rare to be promoted to the Protector of the Nation by one's own strength. It can even be said bluntly that there are only a handful of such examples in the past few hundred years!

Divine enlightenment is king. Of course, the same goes for magic nodes—but magic nodes will be exhausted, while divine enlightenment will never be cut off.

It can only be said to be the grace of Christ.

The grace of Christ is useful.
