Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 385: Chapter 165: Abilities of Divine Chosen Level Holy Images and the Rat People’s Misunderstanding

Dietrich, having been exposed so openly by Rong’en, couldn’t maintain his composure at all.

Now as the Shepherd Leader of the Shalya Church in the Hesse Territory, he was dignified and elegant, of outstanding appearance, and had an impeccable demeanor. However, he indeed lived a carefree existence in his youth, and now all of this was exposed by Rong’en, leaving him feeling utterly shattered, as if dying would be a better option.

Isn’t life just like this? When things have come this far, what is there to not let go of?

Rong’en felt a great sense of justice fulfilled, and when he reported the matter, even the shoe print on his face seemed to exude vigor along with his eyebrows.

”Lord, what Dietrich said is correct. The other two religious holy images belong to our Sun Goddess Church, one of which engraves the ability of Swift Strike. Usually, this divine magic can be self-applied by the knights, enhancing their agility drastically for a short duration, allowing them to attack at twice the speed they could before.”

”But under the watchful gaze of this religious holy image, the knights can maintain this Swift Strike state continuously. Therefore, this religious holy image is used by many forces and religions, divine temples, standing tall in the lofty marble temples, allowing the Guard Knights and Paladins guarding the holy land to unleash far superior combat abilities.”

”Once my strength is restored to the Divine Chosen Level, I can borrow Her Majesty Violet’s divine power to build a religious holy image tens of meters or even over a hundred meters tall within the territory. Such a large holy image towering within the territory can ensure that during the warfare outbreak, the Sun Goddess Church Knight Order maintains the Swift Strike ability!”

Upon hearing, Su Li felt both surprise and regret.

The aspect of surprise was undoubtedly the powerful capabilities, with a religious holy image over a hundred meters tall standing within the territory, steady as a rock, even if not erected in the city but upon a high slope outside, still unshakable.

Ordinary troops could not topple such a vast religious holy image, especially when the divine grace descends, its golden longsword would illuminate the entire Central Plain.

Within a battleground spanning dozens of miles, the members of the church knight order would bathe in the Sun Goddess’ divine grace.

By then, even during field battles against enemy main corps, our side would not fall behind.

The regret lies in the fact that this religious holy image is certain to not be completed in the battle against the Green Dragon Followers.

Then Su Li asked, ”What is the second religious holy image?”

”It’s Insight enemy.” Rong’en led Su Li into the bath, gazing at the religious holy image placed at the highest window position in the bath. A Valkyrie named Violet seated herself on a marble throne, a long sword laid across her knees, body slightly leaning forward, her gaze sharp and deep, as if meditating, using meditation to perceive the enemy’s inner thoughts.

”This is a divine magic that our Sun Goddess Church Knights cannot use during combat; it is only obtainable through the religious holy image. It allows knights below the statue to understand the enemy’s weaknesses, ensuring every attack targets a vulnerability, delivering a fatal impact.”

Su Li glanced at the bath, noting the religious holy images adorned within made the entire room appear more resplendent, especially with the Sun Goddess’ divine statue, turning the incoming moonlight into bright sunlight, making any darkness and shadows in the bath unable to hide.

Witnessing this, Su Li had to ask, ”This battle capability is assured, but isn’t this display a bit overwhelming? What if it alerts the Rat People, causing them to discover the ambush early, and avoiding it by not infiltrating from here?”

Ordinary baths wouldn’t be constructed so dazzlingly; those of the Great Lords might be luxurious, but not so divine, filled with luminous divine grace everywhere.

The Rat People are a timid race; if they notice something unusual ahead, suspecting mouse traps or the like, they might detour.

Rong’en candidly replied, ”We’ve already considered the characteristics of the Rat People Assassins ’Timid Rats’, thus avoiding setting various witchcraft traps that they might sense. But these several religious holy images cannot be more frugal, and are hidden in reasonable positions within the bath. Further frugality could risk Marshal Oerstein and Chief Steward Hilude against four Divine Chosen Assassins of rat people.”

Su Li looked around, noting some statues tucked into the ventilation windows atop the walls, some used as bath and fountain decorations, some hidden in murals, and some in altars, integrated quite perfectly.

Once fully activated, this bath would resemble a holy land, enveloped in dazzling golden light, with divine chosen knights within bursting out far superior combat abilities.

All this was created with a hefty sum, especially large religious holy images, each costing over 200 Golden Crowns.

Rong’en and Dietrich had done everything they could as priests; the rest was left to fate.

At this point, Oliver spoke up voluntarily, ”I can help you, Lord, further perfect this ambush. As a Divine Chosen of the Goddess of Justice, I can add a Guardian of Balance trait to the knights here, increasing their strength and speed in battles based on the number of opponents surrounding them.”
