Chapter 335: Forced Killing

Levi had rich command experience and knew that the Paladin Corps was almost at its limit. If the pepper destroyed the defense line that had been maintained with great difficulty, it would likely trigger a chain reaction and lead to a large-scale defeat.

However, he was now fighting a 6-star activated plant alone and could not spare any effort to support others for the time being.

This made his heart sink.

Seeing that the pepper was about to continue to go deeper after killing the two knight squads in front of him and tearing a hole, at this time a knight rushed out from the direction of the city gate.

The witch beside him waved her staff, and the activated plants along the way fell to the ground one after another. The next moment, the pepper was covered by a transparent light shield. It opened its placenta without hesitation, and the glands inside it agitated, making a sharp and high-pitched scream.

But this time its cry was isolated by the transparent light shield, and it could only spread along the ground under its feet, and when it fell on the knight and the witch beside him, the damage was much smaller.

When Levi saw the knight, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost suspected that he had seen it wrong.

Until Martin's voice really sounded in the communication channel, "Why are you still standing there? Keep fighting. I'll take care of it here."

After a pause, he added, "Don't worry, I won't take your command."

Levi's expression was a little complicated when he heard this. Martin, the leader of the Paladin Order, is now 76 years old. He has not been on the front line for almost 20 years. He doesn't even have enough energy to take care of daily affairs, so he can only leave it to Levi.

This also indirectly led to the latter's increasing power and ambition, and now he has launched an attack on the position of leader.

There have been rumors in the city that Martin's physical condition can no longer wear armor.

However, today the leader of the Paladin Order personally shattered this rumor, and many of the witches following him were also very old, and some were even in their early sixties.

But at this time, they were also fighting with the activated plants around them.

Levi was in a trance for a moment, but soon regained his composure and continued to command the battle. Now was not the time to be modest.

However, the light shield cast by Martin's witch only temporarily trapped the screaming pepper. In order not to break the light shield, the people outside could not launch an attack.

The light shield lasted less than a minute before it disappeared. The screaming pepper planned to continue the sonic attack, but at this moment, the second light shield appeared again.

After that, the light shields came one after another, suppressing the damage of the screaming pepper to single digits.

However, the witch's number of spells is limited. Even if the church can remove the sin value of the witch through purification, it will take time.

After casting the light shield about ten times, the body of the white-haired witch began to shake violently. Obviously, she was about to reach her limit.

On the other side, Levi solved the Chinese toon raider in front of him with a burst, but before he could free his hands to help Martin, another 6-star activated plant almost broke through the defense line.

Levi had no choice but to take the witches to rescue there first.

The white-haired witch next to Martin had already entered a lost state after casting a spell again and fainted on the ground.

Martin shouted loudly and ordered all his witches to attack the Shocking Pepper.

Other knights who had spare strength nearby also took action at this time, and for a while, overwhelming attacks fell on the pepper like raindrops.

However, the latter was a 7-star monster after all, and most of the attacks fell on it but could not even break its defense.

Martin's witches did cause some damage to it, but they only knocked down less than a few hundred HP, and then it was the turn of the Shocking Pepper to counterattack.

As soon as it opened its mouth, the HP of the nearby knights and witches dropped rapidly, causing 150 HP of range damage in less than ten seconds.

It doesn't seem much, but you have to know that the HP of humans is not as good as those animated plants. Ordinary people only have 20 to 30 HP. Even with equipment bonus, most witches only have about 100 HP.

Fortunately, some witches cast healing spells in the middle, which allowed teammates with higher HP to survive.

But they just took a breath, and the second round of sonic attacks came again.

This time, even Martin couldn't make it. He was an old man, and his HP was much less than when he was young.

Facing sonic attacks that directly affect the human body, the defense and durability of the armor are useless.

Even though the two witches behind him kept adding blood to him, Martin still couldn't hold on.

It stands to reason that with Martin's death, Levi's becoming the new leader of the Paladins is a foregone conclusion, but he is not happy at all.

Now it is a matter of life and death, and compared with this, the position of the leader of the Paladins is no longer important.

Without Martin's restraint, the green pepper completely broke through the knights' defenses and prepared to kill.

However, at this moment, a bullet that came out of nowhere suddenly hit the startled pepper.

And unlike other bullets, the bullet left a small hole two fingers wide on the green pepper's body, which showed that the damage was not low.

Then Levi saw a power armor covered with armor that was larger than the average knight's armor, and three witches killed the startled pepper.

Levi didn't recognize who the person was at first glance, until he realized that it was the first-generation power armor of the Phoenix series in the 172-story armory, and then he understood who was under the armor.

He couldn't help but feel complicated.

Ximu was originally a person he favored, and the latter had always behaved very well. Levi had already regarded Malu as half of his confidant.

But he didn't expect the latter to be so bold that he dared to ignore the church's long-standing ban and forcibly climbed to the top of the tower while the holy stone was blown up and everyone was in confusion and panic. He even got away unscathed and was suspected of obtaining the highest authority in the Temple City.

This feeling of being out of control made Levi very unhappy.

In addition, Levi was also very curious about what was on the top of the tower, which was also an important reason why he asked people to catch Malu.

But now is not the time to entangle such things. Levi just hopes that Malu can play a role.

As a result, he saw Malu suddenly stop halfway through the rush.

Although the new armor is good, it has no effect on the special attack of the screaming pepper.

For the sake of his own life, Malu naturally would not get so close to the target and repeat Martin's mistakes, so he stopped in time.

Cerberus, Ouroboros and Bird of Paradise continued to move forward, and Skylark, as the longest-handed profession in the team, stayed in a safe area farther away to maintain output.

With the blessing of golden equipment and engraved purple equipment, the lowest HP of Cerberus, Ouroboros and Bird of Paradise exceeded 500 points, which could withstand three rounds of sonic attacks.

In addition, the recovery amount of Bird of Paradise's recovery skill has now increased by 320%, and the cooling time has been reduced by 80%, which can almost keep up with the skill rotation speed of Shocking Pepper.

Therefore, Malu decisively chose to kill!
