That's a fake elf

Although the heavily armored monks wanted to snatch back the heads of their companions, Linali in the forest obviously did not intend to give them a chance.

After the mercenaries and poachers began to die tragically on the spot, the power of her [Dementor] was significantly improved, and she could freely control these delirious guys to attack the monks.

Different from the previous recklessness of scar-faced Sigurd, the square-faced monk Hillman, sensing that something was wrong, immediately gave up chasing Gao Shun and led his two companions to form an immovable triangular shield formation.

In the chaotic crowd, they are like rocks in the rapids, immovable. Any enemy who hits their giant shield will be shattered to pieces in an instant.

All the arrows fired by the master hunter and the crossbowman were accurately blocked by him and his companions with their shields.

The mercenaries and poachers who lost their minds began to charge towards the shield formation of the heavily armored monks regardless of casualties.

Within half an hour, a mountain of corpses was piled up at their feet, with piles of arrows scattered on the pile of corpses.

The blood dyed their armor and shields red, and the three of them looked even more ferocious because of the pervasive spiritual invasion.

At this moment, they no longer looked like priests, but instead looked like devils.

Seeing that the mercenaries and poachers were helpless against the heavily armored monks, the singing in the forest finally stopped abruptly.

The poachers and mercenaries who had regained their senses looked at the corpses at the feet of the three [Heavy Armored Monks], and their morale suddenly collapsed, and they began to run towards the forest crying.

At this time, they no longer care about Pegasus or wealth. Escape from these three demon-like guys is what they really want to do.

But obviously someone didn't want them to leave.

A large number of white wolves and brown bears suddenly surrounded them. As if they had conspired together, the beasts began to attack the mercenaries who had abandoned their armor.

"Go away!"

The mercenaries and poachers, who had already been scared out of their wits by the heavily armored monks and the spirit songs, did not want to continue to entangle with these beasts, so they directly used their killing moves. In an instant, many beasts were killed on the spot.

Just when they finally broke through the encirclement of the beasts, a little demi-human girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old and had antlers on her forehead suddenly blocked their way.

"Go to hell!"

A mercenary wearing heavy armor didn't even think about it, he raised the spear in his hand and stabbed the little girl, but the next moment he was swallowed up by a massive amount of thorns.

At some point, the forest floor was covered with thorns.

All poachers and mercenaries who stepped on it were instantly tied into rice dumplings.

Some unwilling shooters wanted to fight back, but the silver-haired girl raised her hand and fired a moonlight spear, which was nailed to the tree and swayed like a messy bacon in the wind.

"The master said that you must all stay here, and those who escape will die."

Following the words of the silver-haired girl, dozens of tree people appeared around the poachers and mercenaries with heavy steps. This scene instantly plunged them into despair.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Looking at the three [heavy armored monks] standing panting on the pile of corpses in a defensive formation, Gao Shun showed a look of surprise.

He originally thought that these three guys would be killed under the siege of the mercenaries and poachers, but he did not expect that they actually persisted until Linali ran out of mana.

But Gao Shun knew very well that they were exhausted now.

The mana may be slowly restored by absorbing the energy in the air, but the exhausted spirit and depleted physical strength cannot be restored in a short time.

"Surrender, maybe you can avoid death." Gao Shun stood calmly outside the pool of blood and said expressionlessly.

He had been paying attention to the battlefield. These monks did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Instead, they tried their best to persuade the plunderers to give up killing. From this, it seemed that they were not sincerely cooperating with each other.

In addition, he just killed these monks' companions, and the other party only wanted to take back the companions' heads instead of killing them, which made him respect him.

This should be a group of clergy who abide by the precepts, not bandits. They will cooperate with these lawless people, probably under coercion.

Faced with Gao Shun's persuasion to surrender, the monk leader Hillman did not waver at all. Instead, he raised the giant shield in his hand and began to advance step by step. The two [Heavy Armored Monks] behind him also explained everything with their actions.

"How stubborn." Gao Shun's face twitched and he retreated into the forest.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Breaking into the forest and looking at the corpses of white wolves and brown bears littering the field, Hillman couldn't help but frown.

Now that they have entered the forest, even if they know there is an ambush, it is already too late to retreat. Neither the assassin nor the ambush soldiers in the forest will let them leave.

"Be aware of your surroundings, especially in the trees!"

Stepping on the ground that was soaked in blood and became sticky, Hillman and two companions carefully searched for traces of the assassin.

He knew that the assassin must still be nearby, waiting for them to run out of energy or lose their vigilance.

The creaking sound in his ears made Hillman wary, but he soon saw the source of the sound, which was a dozen tree men born under the influence of natural magic.

"Target tree man, judgment!"

Knowing that the other party might want to use the tree man's innate ability [Root Entanglement] to restrict their movement, Hillman did not give the other party this chance and immediately teamed up with his companions to use the skill.

The Hammer of Judgment shot out of his hand like a cannonball, instantly shattering a dozen tree men to pieces, and the golden lightning burned all the surrounding trees to black.

Taking advantage of the moment when the heavily armored monks went to retrieve the [Dragon Whip], dark green thorns swam past the feet of the heavily armored monks like pythons, and then hit their bodies mercilessly.

This sudden attack was easily blocked by the heavily armored monks who had already taken precautions.

But it blocked the thorns above, but it could not protect the ones below. The thorns seemed to have spirituality, and they bypassed the gaps in the shield and entangled themselves in the monks.

And at the moment when they couldn't move, a black shadow fell from the sky, stepped on the shoulder of a heavily armored monk, and stabbed his neck mercilessly with the dagger in his hand.

The golden barrier appeared again, and the assassin frowned, and immediately planned to repeat his old trick, cutting off his head to prevent him from resurrecting suddenly like Sigurd.

"Reinforce Shield Strike."

Just when the [Heavy Armored Monk] thought he was certain to die, a shield suddenly hit Gao Shun's back.

An overwhelming force hit the assassin's body, causing him to vomit blood. He flew straight out and hit the trunk of a tree hard.

"I didn't expect you to keep a hand." Gao Shun, who felt as if his skeleton was about to fall apart, looked at the empty left hand of the square-faced monk, leaned against the tree trunk and took a breath.

"Before I became a monk, I was a royal guard of the empire." Seeing that the assassin seemed to have really lost his ability to resist, Hillman picked up the shield on the ground and slowly approached with two companions.

"I ask again, do you want to surrender?" Gao Shun stood up holding on to the tree trunk, wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, and asked lightly.

"Now that things have come to this, do you still want to fight to the death?" The [Heavy Armored Monk] who was rescued by Hillman and escaped with the [Faith Barrier] shouted angrily.

"No, he just wants to give you a chance to live."

A voice appeared from behind the three [Heavy Armored Monks], causing them to immediately gather together again.

A sack was thrown in front of three [Heavy Armored Monks], and thirteen dead-eyed heads rolled to the ground. It was the bandit leader and his plundering cavalry.

"You should be the priests who believe in the [God of the Sky] in the Saxia Empire, right? Can you tell me why, as priests, you colluded with the notorious plundering cavalry on the Zhuode grassland? "
