The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 75

“Flame Maiden! Under such circumstances, openly attacking the Knights of Light, can I now determine that you are openly defying the great God?” Below, the Patriarch Lucien, had somehow drawn out a staff. His gaze was fierce as he pointed the thicker end of the staff towards Euphia’s location.

Euphia, who had already killed several people, truly found the suddenly reacting Lucien amusing.

“Didn’t someone already say before? If you want to achieve certain goals, you don’t necessarily need to rely on the so-called *****, you can completely make yourself the god and then carry out your purpose.”

Euphia withdrew, distancing herself from the gradually surrounding Knights of Light, and at the same time kicked away the Knight of Light who was approaching her at the fastest speed.

“This is much easier to give you the impetus to act than claiming to act in the name of the God of Light, after all, you look like the kind of person who doesn’t have a clear understanding of your own faith.”

After saying these words, Euphia felt ashamed as she couldn’t help but think of Egbert’s head.

But it seems that whenever faith is mentioned, the first image that flashes in her mind is the scene of Egbert standing by Su Li’s side, staring at Su Li intently.

“Tch…” Euphia looked at the displeasing Lucien with dissatisfaction, and the next moment she defiantly beckoned him, sneering, “Don’t bring out that method of judging others in the name of God again. I don’t have any reverence for the God of Light, let’s put it this way, since you want to kill me, then show your own strength, don’t say some grandiloquent words, otherwise…”

Euphia swept a glance at the Knights of Light around her, who were more or less injured. She raised her chin and said in a contemptuous tone, “The Knights of Light are not something that the Church can mass-produce. If because of you, Lucien, it leads to the deaths of a large number of Knights of Light, do you think the god you believe in will bypass the Pope and protect you from the Pope?”

Lucien, seeing this attempt to divide and disrupt, was extremely angry, and he shouted in a faster pace, “You, wretched Flame Maiden, a despicable woman who colluded with the evil Dark Holy Son, your existence should be sent to the Divine Judgment Hall for the joint trial of all the important figures of the Church of Light, and I guarantee that I will cast the vote for your death!”

As soon as Lucien finished speaking, Euphia’s attack had already reached him.

On the city wall above, Cyril was also telling Su Li about some things related to elements that he had never actively told him before.

“Light Elementalists are different from other element holders, the unique power of this element, which is both the most lovable and the most hated, lies in its endurance.”

“That is a unique power that can replace most medicines for healing purposes.” Lan Zhe was also standing on the city wall, but he did not approach the edge, only speaking to Su Li a few meters away.

“Over 100 knights, if they are not quickly wiped out, then if they unite with the Amikbi soldiers not far away, they can directly create a long-term offensive line.”

The strength of the enemy is too much.

Although mercenaries are scattered everywhere, their essence is only a career choice, so the total number of all personnel within the entire Alliance, including the members of the Lion’s Club organized by the Lion’s Club leader, is only more than 80,000.

At first glance, this number is extremely impressive, and compared to the enemy’s army of more than 2,000, it can be said to be vastly different.

But this does not mean that they can all become combat power.

In this world, although most people have elements, this does not mean that they can all become strong.

On the contrary, most people live their entire lives in obscurity, and the elements stored in their bodies can at most just ignite the stove in the kitchen, or replace the power system of this world, if it exists, to light up the light source.

And when non-war tasks occupy the main part of the mercenary’s tasks, the number of people who can be driven as combat power will be even less.

But war, this meat grinder, does not care at all whether the strength between the two sides is uneven or balanced.

It will only make the mercenaries become meaningless sacrifices in the war when the enemy has something that the mercenaries don’t have.

Therefore, every time a knight is killed, it is equivalent to weakening the enemy’s rear endurance.

This information is what everyone is eager to input to Su Li, because everyone can see that Su Li, who is standing by the city wall, looks extremely gloomy.

When he looked down at the battle scene below, he couldn’t even control the constant trembling of his body.

But even though he can feel the considerate good intentions of the people around him, Su Li will not deliberately suppress the guilt that is rising in his heart.

He will only choose to pay more attention to the aspect of the enemy’s strength, so as to suppress the outbreak of his thoughts in the level of remorse and the like.

“I’m fine.” Su Li expressed his thoughts.

Although this performance and this sentence, in the eyes of others, are the habitual expression of “having something”, where one tends to report only good news and not bad.

“If possible, I also hope that the Patriarch will die here.” Su Li said calmly.

“There was some speculation before – Diz’s talent, before the emergence of someone who can surpass his peers in strength, no matter if it is due to the aspect of intelligence, it will weaken the qualifications of the next Pope to have…”

“Now he should have the need to accumulate prestige.”

Moreover, if this person is not up to par, then replacing him with a suitable one in the future is also fine – in the Pope’s eyes, Diz himself has been trained into an obedient dog, and therefore the Pope has the right to replace the successor at any time.

And if Diz doesn’t do some prestige-building actions now, then Diz’s gradually placed position as the Pope’s successor will be too fragile, making it impossible for people to believe in.

At that time, even the common people might guess that Diz is again a scapegoat being pushed out.

The current rulers of the Church are old, and the successor is not yet fully determined, which will only cause unnecessary disputes during the transition of power.

So as long as this Patriarch dies early in this battle, then the next person to come here will be like Diz coming to Jisuo Town.

The same reason, the same principle.

Changing the current leader of the enemy to a person with more authority and strength is of course not good, but if it is changed to Diz who is favorable to them, it is equivalent to another major weakening of the opponent’s endurance.

“By the way, do you know who the commander of the Amikbi soldiers is? Is it the princess mentioned in Willard’s letter?”

Su Li asked this question, and Egbert gave the answer.

“For now, it’s not.”

Su Li sighed. “That’s right, the Amikbi soldiers, even if it’s a selection of one out of a hundred, the total number of the enemy’s troops can’t be just over 2,000, this number is probably only enough to serve as the private army of that princess.”

As for the vanguard battle and so on…

The enemy’s most basic probing, has already become the offensive that they need to do their best to prevent.

Right now, Su Li just wishes that a meteorite would fall from the sky and crush all those enemy forces.

Ignoring Su Li’s increasingly dark thoughts, Euphia below the city wall unleashed what appeared to be a huge fire dragon, charging towards Lucien.

And Lucien, who had already learned about Euphia’s attack methods, sneered and mocked. “I have completely seen through your abilities.”

In the elementalist’s vision, Lucien condensed a white defensive shield with the light element. That array-like pattern flashed in front of him for a moment, easily dissipating the entire arrow attack.

But Euphia, who was essentially a close-range combatant, just found it extremely funny.

“Then have you thought of this move?”

The dagger of about 30 centimeters in length was fiercely stabbed towards Lucien’s heart by Euphia, who had suddenly rushed over.

The latter, seeing the large amount of fire element emanating from behind Euphia, stared wide-eyed in disbelief, seemingly not expecting the fire element to also be used as a propeller to further accelerate the already powerful elementalist’s body.

At least, for the light element to do this, the difficulty would be ten times greater.

The combat experience of the upper echelons of the Church is really scarce.

The people who can be promoted to Patriarch are mostly those who follow the routine, relying on talent and the strength they already have, and whether they are loyal to the Pope, rather than true strength being above all.

This has caused Lucien, who has rarely fought against people and has long been protected as a remote output, to completely overestimate his own combat power.

When he used all his strength to block the attack that was about to pierce his heart, Euphia’s mouth curved into a vicious smile.

“Who told you that there’s only one dagger?”

The dagger flashing with cold light was firmly gripped by Euphia’s left hand, which did not seem to be her dominant hand, and instantly pierced through Lucien’s throat.

The gurgling blood pouring out, coupled with the image of the Patriarch collapsing to the ground in an instant, was extremely brutal.

But Euphia did not choose to continue to entangle, but directly used the element to finish him off, and at the same time, with the recoil from the palm-fired fireball explosion, she quickly retreated a large distance.

The Lion’s Club leader, who had been ready to receive her above, cooperatively condensed several small whirlpools in the air.

Euphia turned around, compressing her own fire element and firing it from her fingertips, accurately striking it into the whirlpool. The entity formed by the combination of the two elements instantly became a temporary stepping stone.

She quickly jumped up to this red and green crossed temporary landing point, and in a few steps she returned to the top of the city wall, stepping on the high point of the city wall and landing elegantly.

The Lion’s Club leader praised. “Well done, you weren’t affected by anger, and even used the death of the knights as a prelude, provoking Lucien to take the initiative to attack, and after killing him, you didn’t crave the heads of the other knights either. No matter which aspect, it was beautifully done.”

“Isn’t this a matter of course?” Euphia snorted.

But her gaze at Su Li was like a kitten trying to get a reward.

Innocent yet with a hint of cunning.

Su Li was amused and helpless, and his gloomy heart was lightened a lot. Following Euphia’s desire, he gave a smile while generously praising, “Well done.”

The lemon-attached Egbert pouted, “If it were me, it would have been even better.”
