Although Volgograd is a city with beautiful scenery, pleasant climate and abundant resources, it does not mean that there are no people living outside the city.

There are still many villages along the Volga River. After all, only with the nourishment of the Volga River can plants grow better.

Moreover, the fish in the river are abundant, and it is common to occasionally cast a net to catch fish for a snack.

This country, which has the largest land area in the world, has a total population of only about 1.46 million, so "vast land and sparsely populated" is the best description of it.

Not everyone is born into a city life; rural life is the main theme for most people.

This situation is even more common in the country of Lucia.

A small village built along the river.

The total population of the small village is just over a thousand. It is not far from Volgograd, just in the lower reaches of the Volga River, and is engaged in apiary breeding, fishing and animal husbandry.

Although it is not far from the big city, this small village still leads an ordinary and simple life. After all, it takes capital to live in the city.

Moreover, the small village is self-sufficient, and the store here can be run for about a year or two with the occasional purchase of goods.

A blonde girl was walking towards the apiary, carrying a basket and a glass jar of honey in her hands. The main source of income here is the apiary and fishing and animal husbandry, so the daily work is pretty much the same and there is nothing new.

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

As Goldilocks walked towards the bee farm, she suddenly heard a strange popping noise in the sky.

The sound was similar to that of a bomb explosion, but it seemed heavier and was a sound she had never heard before.

This kind of wonderful phenomenon occasionally occurs in a monotonous life.

Chapter 316: The Pond Fish

minutes ago.

The Corpse King ran and leaped wildly in the direction where Alexi left. The continuous explosions were the shock waves generated by stepping on the ground. In just a short while, the terrain had changed.

Strange holes and large spider-web cracks suddenly appeared in the wasteland. Even Alexei, who had stopped thinking, was awakened by the noise.

"This is a bit too exaggerated..."

Alexei, who was buried deep underground, felt the vibration above his head. The Corpse King was running not far away, but fortunately he did not notice him.

Alexei then calmed down again. Since the Corpse King didn't notice him, it meant that this method was effective. He just had to wait quietly for the Corpse King to leave.

If we go out now and provoke the Corpse King, we will kill 10,000 enemies and lose 12,000 of our own. It's not worth it.

I hope the Corpse King can leave soon after he can’t find him.

The Corpse King, who was still running and searching across the wilderness, naturally didn't know that the person he was looking for was underground. He still didn't realize that Alexei had hidden his breath.

A moment later, near the village.

The corpse king fell to the ground with a bang, and the surrounding ground and flowers were rustling in the wind and waves. The vegetation here was obviously much better than that in the wasteland.

Compared to the desolate plains, the land near the river is not only liked by humans, but also by other life forms.

But the picturesque scenery in front of him could not change the mood in the Corpse King's heart. After all, he was just a humanoid creature, not a real person.

"Damn, one person's efficiency is really too low."

The Corpse King sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling the touch of the cold soil, while also sensing everything nearby.

He had been running in this direction for more than ten minutes. It was impossible that he had not caught up with the other party. There was only one possibility: the other party had hidden himself in some way.

And it even hid from his perception!

"Hehe, did you think I couldn't find you if you hid?"

There was a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth, and the expression on the face of the Corpse King was slightly mocking. He was not alone, all the dead were his eyes and ears.

Life and death have always gone hand in hand.

As long as there is life, there will always be the dead.

"Resuscitate!"

The corpse king was sitting cross-legged on the ground, leaning forward with his hands on the ground, communicating with all the lives buried underground.

Whether they died accidentally or naturally, they were all his subordinates, and he has been resurrected. Even if the resurrection was not complete and the power he should have possessed was not fully restored, it was ultimately not comparable to the leaked black air.

Unless it is completely corroded by time and turned into a pile of yellow earth, even if only a skeleton is left, it will respond to his call.

"Crack!"

In the nearest cemetery, a skeletal arm suddenly broke through the ground, then propped up its crackling body and pulled itself out of the mud with difficulty.

This scene was happening all over the land at the same time, and was discovered by people living nearby almost instantly.

The zombie crisis happened again, but this time the zombies did not madly bite and devour the lives around them, and this time there were not only zombies.

Classic Western fantasy monsters, the Skeleton Soldiers, also appeared in this land.

No one knew why the dead came back to life, they just knew that there would be trouble again.

………………

The City of a Thousand Peaks, Danilov Monastery.

The testing of the Holy Blood is still ongoing, but now the monastery has almost mastered it.

The Patriarch is not a pedantic person, and Empress Lucia is also a pure Orthodox believer, so the fastest way is to use the National Academy of Sciences to analyze the Holy Blood.

Science does not blaspheme the glory of the Lord. Rather, it is because science and technology have developed to their present stage under the guidance of the Lord. Everything that exists is permitted by the Lord.

Everything has a meaning of existence, and this meaning is given by God. This is a perfect religious logic.

After testing together by the Academy of Sciences and the monastery, it was actually mainly the Academy of Sciences that played a role, and the role of the monastery was to provide testers.

The Academy of Sciences discovered that the role of holy blood is equivalent to a key, a key to unlock the divine power. When holy blood enters the body, it will transform the human body into a holy light physique.

The Holy Light Physique is a body that can use the Holy Light, although the Holy Light obtained by drinking the Holy Blood seems to be somewhat impure in color, it is a sandy gold color.

But the two Lord's Warriors from Romania also had different colors of holy light. It could only be said that there seemed to be slight differences between the holy lights.

Although unified in gold, there are still differences between individuals.

In addition to transforming the body, the holy blood can also enhance the holy light energy in the body. The saint from Romania has also cooperated with their Academy of Sciences.

Until now, researchers from the Academy of Sciences have reached some definite conclusions.

Record 1: Holy Blood is the key to transforming the Holy Light Constitution and is used to open the door to contact with the Holy Light. People who already have the Holy Light Constitution can increase the Holy Light in their bodies by drinking Holy Blood. One drop of Holy Blood is enough to increase the Holy Light in the body several times.

Once you have a Holy Light Constitution, you can increase the Holy Light energy in your body through daily prayer and asceticism. This was discovered by the captain of the original six-member team.

The specific amount of Holy Light gained from one day of hard training has not yet been determined, because the amount of Holy Light gained by the initial six people during their daily training was different, which may also be a kind of individual difference.

Record 2: The holy light obtained by drinking holy blood seems to be very suitable for attachment. Although it is not as good as the holy device made by the saint in Romania, its advantage is that it is fast and does not require skin contact.

It is even possible to attach holy light to the bullets in the magazine for a short period of time when changing the magazine of a gun.

But the disadvantage of the fast speed is that the attachment time is short. After the bullet is attached with holy light, it can only exist for about a few minutes, and then the holy light will dissipate.

The Romanian saint can directly turn bullets into holy weapons and keep the holy light alive, but the process of relying on the holy light takes too long and is not very useful on the battlefield.

Well... an ordinary battlefield naturally does not need to rely on holy light. The battlefield here is the battlefield for preparing to fight against vampires later.

The Holy Light has a very good adhesion to both liquid and solid substances, but it failed when trying to attach the Holy Light to the missile.

I don’t know whether it’s because the missile cannot serve as a carrier of the Holy Light, or because the cultivation of the Holy Light is not good enough.

This is a suspicious point, record it.

Record 3: Through communication with the Archbishop, we learned that they were planning to create the Knights of the Holy Light. Emperor Lucia also gave her approval, but she only proposed an idea.

The Knights of the Order certainly need weapons, and what are the weapons of the knights? Guns!

Although this gun is different from that gun, since it can attach holy light to the bullets when changing the magazine, isn’t this a natural advantage?

Afterwards, Emperor Lucia transferred a large amount of arms and weapons to the monastery, and suggested to the bishop that the members of the Knights of the Holy Light should learn to use firearms as soon as possible. He had already sent a large number of firearms instructors.

These instructors are all firearms experts, and their teaching abilities are guaranteed. They can definitely enable someone who has never touched a firearm to learn how to use an ordinary firearm within a week.

Emperor Lucia said that it is imperative that every member of the Knights Templar is a good gunner.

The bishop hesitated for a moment and readily agreed to the proposal.

Chapter 317 Sword Skills Training

Monastery, gun practice range.

The most important thing in learning about guns is not useless textual knowledge, but a lot of practice. Memorizing theoretical knowledge a thousand times will never be as good as one practical practice.

Therefore, the archbishop agreed to the proposal and took great action to open up a special area in the monastery for practicing guns.

Gun practice is not limited to pistols. Rifles and submachine guns all require practice, but for newcomers, pistols are the easiest firearms to learn.

Of course, learning firearms does not mean giving up melee weapons. Rather, cold weapons are the most suitable for the Holy Light to attach to.

After all, in Western fantasy novels, paladins and the like all use weapons such as broadswords or maces and spears. No, let alone fantasy novels, there are also paladins who use broadswords in reality.

At the same time, a paladin with a greatsword was not idle either. While others were practicing with firearms, he was honing his combat experience.

"Come on, face me head on!"

Arthur holds a huge alloy sword, which is a typical Scottish sword called the Slashing Sword, and is a pure infantry sword.

It is at least one and a half meters long, with a blunt head, a wide but thin blade, and a blunt blade above the handle. Everything about it is designed for chopping.

Opposite Arthur was a tall man holding an armor-piercing sword. His build was almost the same as Arthur's, and he was even slightly taller than Arthur.

Just as the slashing sword takes chopping to the extreme, the armor-piercing sword takes penetration to the extreme.

The armor-piercing sword and the cutting sword are weapons of the same level. To be precise, it is actually an enlarged cone that completely ignores the need to kill and only pursues the power of stabbing.

The sword body is about one meter long, extremely smooth, and its cross-section is a pure circle. Behind the hilt, which can be used with both hands, there is a counterweight ball like a short gun stock.

The man holding the armor-piercing sword completely ignored Arthur's provocation, and looked for a flaw that would kill him with one strike, like a cold poisonous snake.

The two of them were stuck in a stalemate.

Seeing that the opponent ignored his provocation, Arthur held the giant sword horizontally in front of him, and then suddenly rushed forward.

"drink!"

The sharp sword light drew a semicircle in the air, pointing directly at the chest and abdomen of the man opposite.

Seeing this, the man did not dodge, but raised the armor-piercing sword in his hand, as if to block Arthur's sweep.

Seeing this scene, Arthur frowned. The man opposite knew his strength and must have known that he would not be able to stop him just by holding the sword upright. There was something fishy going on.

With a hissing sound, Arthur cautiously stopped his advance, but the sweeping giant sword was still moving forward due to inertia, and it was too late to retract the force.

"Heh, even though you figured it out, you're still a step too late."

The man holding the armor-piercing sword vertically finally responded to Arthur, but his actions were faster than the words he said.

The man changed his position instantly by holding the armor-piercing sword vertically. He held the hilt with one hand and directly grasped the sword body with the other hand. Because of the conical blade, he would not hurt himself.

"when!"

The two swords collided, and even though Arthur retracted some of his strength, a huge force was still transmitted from the swords.

While the huge force had not yet dissipated, the man took the armor-piercing sword in both hands and lifted it up. However, the huge sword inevitably slid upwards because it hit the smooth blade of the armor-piercing sword.

"呲~"

A harsh sound came from the friction between the two swords, and the man took back his other hand that was holding the sword, because the length of the armor-piercing sword was far less than that of the giant sword, and his goal had been achieved, and he took back his hand just to make the final blow.

Arthur's arms were throbbing with veins when he saw this scene. He tried desperately to pull back his greatsword which was swinging upward uncontrollably, but the greatsword was difficult to retract quickly to block due to its size.

What's more, there is an armor-piercing sword blocking the way.

"you lose."

Before Arthur could retract his greatsword, the man had already placed his prepared dagger in his left hand against Arthur's neck. Just a light stroke... wouldn't cause any damage.

The weapons here are not sharpened, they are all blunt, but because they are all made of alloy, they are not completely safe just based on their weight.

"I lost."

Arthur dropped his weapon dejectedly and raised his hands in surrender.

He was careless and didn't dodge, so this man actually plotted against him.

"Haha, you have made rapid progress, but you were a little too impatient this time, so you failed."
