A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

The two men fought again, their swords clashing and sparks flying.

This time, Ferdinand finally confirmed that the enemy in front of him was not an ordinary person!

There is no status suppression, and his speed and strength are not much inferior to mine.

A protector of the country? !

How is it possible that the Knights are hiding a protector of the country?

Andrea alone is surprising enough, but who would have thought that the Knights also have a protector of the country?

"Joseph, be careful. That's Ferdinand, the traitor Ferdinand!" Demetrios shouted.

Even he was surprised that Joseph had actually stopped Ferdinand. Furthermore, Joseph was not at a disadvantage in their duel.

The two men were so fast that it was hard to keep up, but in the end Ferdinand was unable to force his opponent to retreat.

He knew that, purely in terms of skill, he was slightly superior. However, even in a simple swordsmanship contest, it would take at least hundreds of rounds for the two to determine the winner.

A few hundred rounds are enough time for the entire Knights' army to surround them!

"Joseph? I remembered you!" Ferdinand was shocked and angry.

He knew who this Joseph was - to put it bluntly, he was the guard sent by the Pope to Thomas.

The Pope did not offer Thomas nothing when he became the Grand Master. He selected a knight named Joseph from his own personal guard to serve as Thomas's bodyguard.

This person's extraordinary ability is the ability to freeze the body.

It's not very useful on the battlefield, but it's an excellent ability as a guard.

If he remembered correctly, Joseph was a guard personally chosen by the Pope for his student. He was favored by Thomas and promoted to lieutenant of the Knights Templar, the same position as Andrea.

This is a very normal operation in this era. It is reasonable and there is nothing special about it.

But no one expected that this knight named Joseph was actually a patriot.

When he thought about it, he suddenly understood.

Things that I had doubts about before now have been perfectly answered.

To be honest, it is still a bit puzzling that Andrea, the only one protecting the country, plus the traps and Thomas, could kill the Wolf God and Herzl.

It’s not that it’s impossible, but that the possibility is not high.

Theoretically, the Wolf God's mind would become less clear, which is fine, but Herzl is a calm and intelligent person.

A normal person would run away if he saw the situation was not good!

A protector of the nation is no small matter. Even if a mission fails and a person chooses to escape, the cult will never hold him responsible. They may even try to appease him.

But if there are two protectors... then the possibility goes straight from "not high" to "quite high".

This is equivalent to combining the fighting forces of three national defenders, three against one.

But why would this little-known Joseph be a protector of the country?

Damn it! Ferdinand cursed softly.

So that's how it is. It was that old Pope who was behind all this!

Not only did he bestow the two artifacts upon Thomas, but just in case, in order to protect the artifacts, he also arranged a national protector to serve as a guard for Thomas!

I didn’t understand this before. I just thought that Leo XI was not in his right mind to easily give this kind of artifact to his student.

Because Thomas does not have the ability to protect these artifacts.

Even though his combat power when using divine weapons is not inferior to that of the Protector of the Country, if he really encounters an unexpected accident and has no time to use the magic items on his body, then he is just an ordinary elite warrior.

If Thomas were killed and the artifact stolen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unexpectedly, the old man was more skilled and arranged a national protector to be Thomas's bodyguard!

"So you are Ferdinand?" said Knight Joseph.

"Tsk..." Ferdinand clicked his tongue lightly.

If he came here alone like last time, all he could do now was run away.

Fortunately, he didn't come alone!

Chapter 310 Assassination 4

"Although I knew you were a traitor, I never expected you to turn from a warrior into an assassin!" said Joseph.

"Ha, there's nothing I can do. This world always forces you to do things you don't want to do." Ferdinand smiled.

"Is it this world? Or your own ambition?" Joseph sneered.

This statement was met with a cold snort from Ferdinand.

The two protectors faced each other for a short while, moving slowly, looking for each other's weaknesses.

Demetrios retreated to a great distance.

Several of the knights who had been knocked down just now were struggling to get up.

Although their fighting power is weak, once they are put back into battle, it will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Ferdinand's lips curled into a grin.

He is indeed lucky.

That idiot Demetrios didn't run away, but watched from a safer distance.

Joseph did not attack immediately, but chose to confront him and delay the attack, waiting patiently for the knights to struggle to their feet.

Both of them made the choice that seemed the most normal and best.

But what they didn't know was that this was the situation that suited Ferdinand best.

Because he didn't come alone.

He glanced at the entrance to the conference room—it had been burned, so it couldn't be called a "door," only an entrance.

Joseph noticed the subtle changes in his opponent and glanced in that direction.

Then he saw a figure rushing towards him.

The figure held a short sword in his hand, but wore no armor. Judging from his clothing, he seemed to be a laborer hired by the Knights, or a mobilized citizen or sailor. However, his movements were very agile and quick.

He rushed straight towards the clerk who had not yet recovered from his shock.

All over his body, black and red light was faintly visible!

"Assassin?!" Joseph was shocked.

Without having time to think more, Joseph let out a loud roar.

He is a professional when it comes to dealing with Assassins.

He had once been a member of the Pope's Guard and had been trained in how to identify and deal with these assassins.

It was hard to tell what he was shouting. It was a chaotic, unclear syllable that you could hear but couldn't repeat.

The Assassin in the distance was frozen in place, unable to move.

Demetrios, who was further away, also came to his senses, turned around and ran.

The Assassins were not enemies that could be defeated with swords—these guys were not ordinary assassins, but warriors who were determined to die and wanted to perish together with their loved ones.

All the monarchs in this world are troubled by these assassins, but they have no good way to deal with them.

Joseph no longer cared about the enemy in front of him and rushed straight towards the Assassin assassin.

They cannot be given enough time to absorb magic power.

These assassins can cast spells that result in mutual destruction at the cost of their own lives.

The most powerful among them can use the ninth-level spell: Burning Explosion.

Of course, the assassin's version of the spell is definitely not as powerful as the magic cast by the genuine spellcaster, and is much lower.

But it is definitely not something a normal person can bear.

Even Huguo can’t stand it!

He had no time to care about anything else, so he could only deal with this enemy first.

With a full force strike of the long sword, he knocked the Assassin assassin down with one blow, and immediately followed up with another blow to chop off his head.

The magic lost the caster's conscious control, and the black and red light slowly dissipated.

When I looked back, Ferdinand was gone.

But he went after Demetrios.

His immobilization technique was extremely effective against those below the level of the Protector of the Nation. Those with bad luck could be immobilized for tens of seconds or even longer. However, its effectiveness against the Protector of the Nation was greatly reduced.

It only takes a second or two.

Joseph followed the direction of the two people, but unfortunately he was too slow. He chased after them but couldn't find where they were going.

Things like full body armor greatly affect speed.

Although Demetrios escaped one step ahead, he was gradually caught up by Ferdinand.

Before this, Demetrios had just ordered the battle operation for tonight, so all the officers and generals of the Knights Templar returned to their own teams.

There is no use calling out to people in the streets now.

There is no one on the street now. Even if there is, it is the fire department responsible for putting out fires of all sizes.

These people are not warriors at all, and they don’t even have many weapons. They can’t stop the Protectorate or the Assassins at all.

As the supreme commander, Demetrios was very clear about the current troop deployment of the entire Knights, so he ran to the troop point closest to him.

Knight Mansreti, former rookie coach of the Knights, now commander of the Knights' general reserve.

He commanded two thousand soldiers, including lower-ranking knights of the Knights Templar and mercenaries.

They were called the general reserve, but in reality they had already been deployed in battle. They had suffered some casualties, but the loss of manpower was not significant.

In tonight's counterattack, Mansreti is also one of the main players.

To be honest, Demetrios couldn't understand why the Grand Master gave him this important position.

Knight Mansreti, though a veteran, was promoted to elite status after reaching the age of forty. His potential was limited, simply due to his age.

However, the appointment of personnel for the Knights Templar was a key power of the Grand Master, and Thomas would not appreciate anyone interfering in his personnel appointments. So, although many people disagreed with Mansreti's appointment, they knew to keep their mouths shut.

After all, Mansreti is a genuine senior official member. No one can question his loyalty. He has the qualifications.

But as a conscious or unconscious reaction, Dimitrios was quite cold towards the old instructor.

It's not hostility, but it's just a normal attitude towards marginalized people.

But now, he had to go there.

With two thousand soldiers protecting him, even if Ferdinand was unwilling, he had to retreat.

The footsteps behind him were clearly audible, indicating that the pursuers were getting closer.

"Dimitrios, do you think you can run away?" Ferdinand snorted coldly.

He wore light armor, while Demetrios was in full armor.

If he keeps running like this, he will definitely catch up!

No, there is no need to catch up.

As long as they are twenty steps away, he can throw out the sword in his hand and kill people with it!

Throwing shuriken is not a common move and most people have never practiced it.

But Ferdinand happened to be that rare exception.

He carried two swords, a long sword and a short sword, and he had already held the short sword in his hand.

Throw the dagger and hit the opponent, then follow up with a long sword to kill instantly.

In front of him, he saw two figures—two knights. They were obviously arguing about something.

Hearing the noise here, the two turned their heads.

One of them was Knight Mansreti, and the other was a bit surprising.
