Thick smoke billows.

Oldman looked at the thick smoke in the distance on the horizon, his face solemn and livid. Of course he knew what that meant. The only thing he didn't know was what the situation was over there right now. The best case scenario was that the Jaegers launched an attack on Zihua Town.

The attack was stopped by James and others who rushed immediately. The worst case scenario... Oldman frowned and looked away. Now is not the time to think about those things, because they themselves are also facing the same situation.

Dilemma.

"It seems that it has already started over there."

Viper looked away and showed a satisfied smile. He reached out and touched his chin, then nodded.

"Start the attack."

The trumpet sounded, and then the soldiers began to advance - towards the dilapidated-looking fortress.

On the other side, the battle was nearing its end.

All the members of the Jaeger team were dead and wounded. In fact, when Zhan eliminated the black-robed mage and led the others to charge, they had completely collapsed. These people lost a lot of money in the battle with Nadia.

They were short of manpower, and it was because of the mage's cover that they continued to confront Nadia. But now even the mage was killed by the opponent... The rest of the ragtag group consisting of the Jaegers and mercenaries naturally collapsed immediately.

And they are not fools. They recognized at a glance that those people were the guys that their captain led people to stop before. Now they appear here, and they don't look embarrassed at all. Just think about it and you will know that the captain must have

They were completely killed by the opponent. Under such circumstances, what sense does it make for them to continue to "fight bravely" here?

Thinking of this, the morale of the Jaegers suddenly collapsed, and at this time Nadia had recovered. Without the threat of the mage, she immediately showed her original strength. I saw Nadia swinging the long sword in her hand.

, the burning holy power immediately swallowed up the enemies around her, and then knocked them to the ground.

How stupid.

An arrow shot an escaped mercenary to death. Zhan looked at Nadia and shook his head helplessly. In fact, he had witnessed Nadia's battle just now. He had to admit that as a paladin, Nadia's

Although she is very strong, she is still far behind in combat. In fact, with her strength, it is not that difficult to kill the mage and these soldiers, but the responsibilities of the Paladin still restrict her.

Action - Yes, she can burn sacred fire to destroy a large group of goblins, undead creatures and demons, but when it comes to humans, Nadia is obviously not ready to put them on the same level as goblins and devils.

That's why she chose to retreat and stop when the mage threatened the town. Of course, this is also related to her being a paladin. After all, the paladin wants to protect all living beings. If it is Patilina,

Zhan can be sure that the little guy will never care about how this damn place will be beaten.

Of course, whether it was the enemy or she who posed a greater threat to this place at that time is another matter.

Still too young.

While sighing, Zhan moved his fingers lightly. Soon followed by a scream, another soldier who almost fled into the forest fell to the ground without breathing. And his companions were even more frightened after seeing this scene.

He was so pissed that he almost crawled into the woods. Then he flew towards the bushes in front of him, completely ignoring the bloody marks on his face caused by the hard thorns. As long as he could hide in the woods,

Then that terrifying half-elf ranger didn’t attack him. Until then…………

An iron sword silently shot into the back of his head. The powerful impact mixed with the arrows shattered the teeth in his mouth, and then nailed the soldier to the tree trunk like this. His body trembled suddenly,

Then the hands raised high suddenly dropped limply and stopped moving.

It was only then that Zhan put away the short bow in his hand and looked around. The battle at this moment was completely over. Several young people were driving away the soldiers under the command of the veterans. Most of the mercenaries had already fled, and the remaining

The people below saw that the situation was not going well and immediately put down their weapons and surrendered, and are now being guarded by several other people.

As for Zihua Town, it is still normal. Except for the initial gate, sentry and wall that were scorched by the flames, other places did not cause much damage - of course, all this was due to Nadia's desperate efforts to stop it.

That mage's attack, otherwise, probably not only the gate would be destroyed in this town now.

Thinking of this, Zhan En smiled slightly, then he got off his horse and walked towards Nadia who was standing in the ashes of the gate.

Nadia didn't notice Zhan's appearance. At this moment, she was lowering her head and staring at her hands - the holy light above flickered and then gradually disappeared. Seeing this scene, Nadia sighed.

With her breath, she could feel that not only the holy power but also the divine favor had disappeared. This was another reason why she struggled so hard in this battle. She had lost the power she originally had. In other words

In other words, she has lost the favor of the gods.

Is this a test? Or a punishment?

Nadia herself couldn't say for sure. After all, it was all possible. She hoped it was the former, but it was also possible it was the latter - who could say for sure?

And at this moment, a beautiful and sweet voice came.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Paladin."

Hearing this voice, Nadia raised her head and saw a half-elf standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile. He had long emerald green hair, a handsome face and a pointed nose inherited from the elves' blood.

He has triangular ears, wears a suit of leather armor, carries a short bow on his back, and hangs a long sword on his waist. He looks very easy to like. Nadia remembers him. In the previous battle, this half

She was also amazed by the strength shown by the elf. His slender fingers moved the bowstring as if by magic. Someone would fall every time. Elegant, precise, and merciless. Nadia had to admit,

Even I was attracted by his fighting style, even a little obsessed.

But what makes Nadia feel strange is that in her memory, it should be the first time she met this half-elf. But why does she always feel so familiar?

"Miss Paladin?"

"ah…………"

It wasn't until she heard Zhan's voice again that Nadia came back to her senses. She raised her head and smiled sheepishly at him.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted. This is not what I should do..."

As she spoke, Nadia clenched her hands. Now she could no longer feel the presence of the Holy Power. Zhan had also been keenly aware of this. In fact, during the battle, Nadia's Holy Power

It has been declining. If her power could be compared with Patilina when she first started fighting, now she is at best comparable to Elise.

Considering the restraint of Elise's magic flame on creatures, I'm afraid his pet has a better chance of winning.

This is the tragedy of the Paladins. When the gods pay attention to them, they have the power to open up the world, but once they are abandoned by the gods, they will become a pile of garbage. In this regard, the cultists who believe in the devil are similar.

.In fact, regardless of gods or demons, as long as they are their followers, they will face such a possibility. Even gods who claim to be righteous are no exception, and now, what Nadia has to face is the consequences.

"No matter what, we have to thank you, Miss Paladin."

At this time, the militia captain on the other side also limped over. He was almost killed in the previous battle. But fortunately, Nadia's appearance attracted the attention of the Jaegers.

Only his attention allowed him to escape. At this moment, the militia captain's face was covered with bloodstains and dark and smoky marks, but it could be seen that his gratitude to Nadia was sincere.

"That's right, Miss Paladin."

Facing the militia captain, Zhan also smiled and nodded, then he looked at Nadia and said.

"Without your help, there will be countless lives here that will never see the sun of tomorrow. Without your selfless dedication, this town will not have the chance to see the glory of tomorrow. In any case, it is precisely because of you

With your help, those thugs had to return in vain and were defeated by us. Without you, we would probably face even greater suffering."

"That's not the case."

After hearing Zhan En's words, Nadia's complexion improved a lot. She let out a soft breath, but the waves deep in her heart did not stop. If what they said was correct, then she would undoubtedly do it.

She did the right thing—no, in fact Nadia also believed that what she did was indeed right. So, would she leave her because of the favor of the gods? Could this really be the opinion of the gods?

Do they think they shouldn't be involved in this? If that's the case, then what exactly is it that they have always believed in?

Regardless, this is the path I have chosen.

Thinking of this, Nadia shook her head and then made a decision. Then she raised her head and looked at the two of them. At this time, Zhan also noticed her gaze, and then he showed an elegant smile and faced

Nadia bowed slightly.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you for your help. This Miss Paladin. My name is James Luo Xing. As you can see, he is a member of the 'Freedom of National Salvation Army'. In fact, we found out that those Jaegers sent people to

After the nearby villages and towns, I hurried over here. Now it seems..."

As he spoke, Zhan looked at the town in front of him.

"It seems it's not too late...how is the situation?"

"Thanks to this paladin lady, the town was not too seriously damaged."

After saying this, the militia captain's face became a little ugly. He turned his head and stared at a twisted body in the corner next to him that had been burned to charcoal.

"But... there are many brave young people who were not able to survive. Thanks to you for coming, otherwise, this town would not be what it would be like."

"So, what are you going to do next?"

Hearing this, Nadia couldn't help but ask. After hearing her question, Zhan thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the militia captain in front of him.

"Zihua Town currently lacks defensive power, but it will not encounter trouble for the time being. Reed Fort is currently facing a siege by the Jaegers. Now that these threats have been relieved for the time being, I will return to Reed Fort immediately. As for the others,

You can stay here. On the one hand, you are responsible for taking care of the prisoners, and at the same time, you are also on guard to avoid trouble from those noble private soldiers coming to you again. Can the wooden wall outside be repaired?" Wuyou Novel Network does not skip words.

"As long as you give us a little time, there should be no problem."

"very good."

Hearing this, Zhan nodded.

"Then time is tight. I have to go back to Reed Castle first. I'll leave it to you here."

As he spoke, Zhan got on his horse and then planned to turn around and leave. Looking at his figure, Nadia hesitated for a moment, and then she suddenly spoke.

"Mr. James, can I go with you?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

Hearing these words, Zhan En was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head to look at Nadia, and then smiled slightly.
