"Rank, what are you doing back?" Seeing the student come back, Lei was not only not happy, but frowned.
"I want to fight, I want to help the teacher, and I want to protect the refugees!" Rank was a little scared, but still answered seriously.
"If you go to help maintain order, you are doing me a favor and protecting them."
"Liv is enough to do those things. She can do a good job. When Teacher Paan was young, there were a large number of monsters near Jinta City. He just temporarily integrated a group of people and swept the area for two months. The group of monsters that had almost formed an army of beasts were killed. Liv was the child of Mr. Parn and inherited his blood and talents. She grew up under his teachings, maintaining order and leading the way. A group of refugees are escaping. She can do a good job." Rank obviously thought about it carefully and answered without thinking, "I can't help much if I stay there. It's better to come here and at least kill a few more fish. People!"
"With your little ability, you still kill fishmen?" Lei sneered.
Rank suddenly blushed: "Teacher... I'm pretty good too! Not long ago, I competed with several adventurers, and we both won and lost!"
To be honest, his strength is indeed quite good. He can be regarded as a qualified adventurer. If placed in the Gars City Coast Guard, he can at least be a squad leader, leading six or seven people, and taking charge of himself when it is not very important. Compared to the rookie look he had a few months ago, it was as if he had been completely transformed.
But in Lei's view, such strength is not enough!
"Where do you think this is? Is it a competition ground for friendly competition?" He said angrily, "This is a battlefield to resist the invasion of the Sea Tribe! What you are facing are not peaceful adventurers, but countless Kill the endless sea army! You have indeed made progress, and you can be considered a good adventurer now, but what does that mean?"
He stretched out his hand and saw the murlocs in the distance rushing over in a chaotic and noisy manner despite the bombardment of magic cannons, getting closer and closer.
"Did you see it! Did you see that number!" He said angrily, "Did you know that in the battle just now, at least a dozen people with your skills died! And that was just a tentative attack!"
"Leave! Leave now! When the fight starts, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"
Rank lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head again, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
"Teacher, now that I'm back, I have no plans to leave again!"
Lei was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
"Both Mr. Parn and you have taught me the virtues of a knight: humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, compassion, faith, honesty, and justice. I am not strong enough or smart enough to learn the eight virtues one by one. Practice, but even I know that now is the time when knights need to sacrifice!"
"What kind of knight are you!" Lei yelled, "You haven't even graduated yet!"
"Then, let me teach this last lesson by your side." Rank raised his sword, "I hereby swear that I will have mercy on the weak, have the courage to fight against all evil and injustice, be unafraid of sacrifice, and resolutely defend My honor...Teacher, if you have achieved half of the eight virtues, you are qualified as a knight apprentice, right?"
Having said this, he finally smiled, his childish face showing a look of joy and expectation.
It was the look of a child who did what he thought was the right thing, eager to be recognized by his parents and teachers, and eager to be praised.
Lei wanted to refute harshly, and brought out his world-famous scholar and teacher to teach debating skills. He scolded the boy until he couldn't hold his head up and could only get out of the house in despair. But seeing Rank's expression and the expectant light in the child's eyes, he felt an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart, leaving him speechless.
Once upon a time, so was he. Full of enthusiasm and longing, I want to be an outstanding knight, want to be recognized by my teacher and father with my actions, want to be a hero of chivalry and become a world-famous hero...
He turned around, not letting Rank see the tears flashing in his eyes, and said in the strongest tone: "Now that you have decided, let's come together! Hold on to your sword and never fall! You are mine Students cannot die in such a small place!"
Rank was stunned for a moment, then understood what the teacher meant and couldn't help but laugh again.
He knew that the teacher really recognized him.
So he nodded heavily and replied loudly: "I will do my best!"
"Stop talking nonsense, the knight must prove himself with actions!"
"yes!"
While he was talking, the murloc army had already withstood the bombardment of magic cannons and rushed in front of him again.
Led by Lei and the old sergeant, the defenders shouted together, waved their weapons, and charged forward.
Swords flashed, blood splattered everywhere.
"You bastard! Who sent you here!" Sui Xiong roared, waving his tentacles wildly, each blow leaving deep cracks on the ground, like scars, "Just tell me the truth!"
Just now, he finally completely blocked the space in this area, blocking the Shadow Demon King's retreat. After losing the ability to freely travel between the main plane and the shadow plane, no matter how flexible this red-black ghost was, it still became a little embarrassed when facing Sui Xiong's dozens of powerful tentacles.
So he couldn't help but roared and asked, trying to find out who was behind the scenes.
Because his heart was full of uneasiness, he always felt that something dangerous was happening, but he couldn't find any clues.
This made him anxious, irritable, and irritable. He was not a person who was good at reasoning and thinking. Faced with the imminent situation in front of him, it was impossible to calm down and think slowly, so he chose to use force to force the question. .
But the Shadow Demon King remained silent. It had no power to fight back at this moment and could only dodge Sui Xiong's violent attacks. Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, it had no intention of admitting defeat, let alone Talk about confessing.
"You bastard! You bastard!" Sui Xiong cursed angrily, pulled out his tentacles fiercely, and finally seized the opportunity, and for the first time since the war began, he actually hit the Shadow Demon King.
The red and black figure flashed slightly and turned into a transparent body. It should be immune to ordinary physical attacks, but under Sui Xiong's fierce attack, its efforts were completely in vain, and it could only hear a tragic sound. There was a shattering sound, and a significant dent appeared in the body that was already quite huge for ordinary people. It almost turned into tissue paper and was almost broken in half.
This blow obviously severely injured the Shadow Demon King. It had been silent since the fight with Sui Xiong. It finally couldn't remain silent and let out a miserable scream.
The sound was extremely tragic, as if many people were being massacred, men, women, old and young... all kinds of screams merged into one, making one's hair stand on end.
"Speak quickly! Who sent you here!" Sui Xiong's tentacles flew in all directions, turning into copper and iron walls to surround it. "If you don't tell me, I will beat you to death!"
The red-black figure trembled violently, probably feeling fear, but the trembling soon subsided again, and its body shook violently, glowing with a strange light.
Sui Xiong clearly felt that amazing energy was gathering in this guy's body.
"Damn!" He realized what was going on in an instant and hurriedly retreated, but in the end it was a step too late.
There was a loud bang, the earth shook, and the shock wave caused by the violent explosion even shot up into the sky, shattering all the huge clouds in the sky and turning them into a misty smoke.
This demon who has done countless evil things in the world actually chose to blow himself up!
The battle on the other side has now come to an end.
Under the joint attack of Sui Xiong and Heimsala, Timsal was left in a state of disarray. Perhaps according to its original plan, it was to teleport its old rival into the prepared trap, thereby winning in one fell swoop and killing Heimsala. But due to Sui Xiong's intervention, there was an error in the transmission, and the situation was completely reversed at this moment.
Of course it tried to escape, but how could Heimsala let it escape! He rushed forward immediately and wrapped himself tightly around it. Their power comes from the same source, and they are innately in conflict with each other. As soon as Heimsala entangled it, it was immediately locked in place, unable to move even if it wanted to.
And Sui Xiong's attack was like adding insult to injury, making it even more embarrassed after it could still hold on for a while.
Unlike Heimsala, who is slightly sluggish, Sui Xiong is very flexible. He can move quickly in the sea water. No matter how Timsal transfers his core, he will quickly find a suitable attack position and launch Violent attack.
If it was just one-on-one, Timsal would not be unable to deal with Sui Xiong's attack. But now almost all of its power is contained by Heimsala. All it can do is to move its central core to a secret place and protect it as much as possible.
But how could Sui Xiong give it that chance! One after another, the icy torrents simply connected into a line, one after another, like sharp knives, constantly tearing apart its huge body composed of negative energy, reaching straight to the core it was trying to hide.
It seems that it won't be long before Timsal, the demon king who has also been wreaking havoc for many years, will also usher in his end.
So it, which had always brought fear to others, finally felt the taste of fear.
In the body covered with bones and turbid currents, the core of divine power hidden in the deepest place trembled violently, sending its message towards a certain existence.
The next moment, the sea roared.
The sea surface for at least several dozen miles was almost boiling and shaking, and even the Sea Clan army in the distance who was reorganizing its troops to attack Port Gars was affected and turned upside down.
Along with the vibration and roar, a wild laughter echoed in the sea water.
"Salament, you finally surrendered to me!"
The laughter had no substance, it was just a thought, and the joyful and elated feelings in it were more vividly revealed. And along with this thought, a shuddering majesty came out of thin air, making everything in the sea bow their heads.
"Ocean goddess?!"
