Chapter 704: The Power of the Great Warlock

After leaving Tatu City, everything went smoothly.

This fat little Dean is really a foodie.

Under Luke's guidance, together with the cooks from Congreve's warlock team.

During the lunch break, everyone can enjoy a hot and delicious meal.

Barbecue burritos and veggie soup.

Simple, but delicious.

We continued on our journey in the afternoon, and everyone was still savoring the delicious food from lunch.

Princess Julia's chat with Wanda is actually a test.

But it's not too obvious, it's mainly because Princess Julia wants to win over Wanda.

If she wants to fight for the throne, she must win over all the powerful people and forces she can.

Wanda didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either.

The first thing she told the princess was to go to the capital to study and try to improve her warlock abilities.

This statement is very reasonable.

The United Kingdom of Tyr is the headquarters of the Warlocks Guild.

There is no king here, only a prime minister.

Several major parties jointly govern and elect their agents.

The Warlock Guild is only responsible for supervision.

Although it seems to be a very advanced political system, it still cannot avoid the fact that the country's managers serve the rules.

The living standards of the lower-class people are no different from those of the lower-class people in other countries.

After camping at night, there is still a sumptuous dinner.

Vegetable porridge with grilled vegetable rolls and some fried cakes.

Before going to bed, Wanda pretended to ask Warlock Congreve some questions about spells.

Although Warlock Congreve is not a fire warlock, he can still answer some of the magical questions Wanda asked.

Luke arranged the night watch schedule based on the number of people.

When he returned to the campfire, he found that Warlock Congreve had also sat down next to him.

"I heard from Julia that you are an expert in swordsmanship?"

Luke smiled modestly and said:

"It's OK. I've practiced for a while."

The two started chatting about this.

"Young man, you are very good. I am curious why you are the housekeeper for that little girl?"

"With your talent, you would be able to get along better with any great noble, or even the royal family."

Luke sighed.

"I'm an old friend of Wanda's father, Eric, and he's an amazing warlock."

"Oh? What abilities does he have? What level? Why have I never heard of him?"

Luke continued:

"Eric is a quiet man, his ability is to control metal."

"But he was not focused on fighting, but on research, especially architecture..."

“He designed many famous buildings?”

"No, he likes to play with blocks... well, to experiment with the pros and cons of various structures."

"It would be great if I had the chance to meet this master."

Luke shook his head sadly.

"I'll never see him again..."

Seeing Luke's expression, Congreve also said: Sorry

The two continued chatting for a while.

Suddenly, both of them stopped talking.

Luke silently pulled out a rapier from the bag behind him.

Congreve produced a sheepskin bag.

The two looked at each other, their eyes revealing solemnity.

"somebody is coming."

"Well, he is not a good person."

"How did you find out?"

Luke hesitated for a moment and said:

"Murderous..."

This mysterious answer made Congreve stunned for a moment.

But he didn't think much about it, maybe it was just a unique talent of warriors.

Congreve Warlock is a Wood Warlock.

Although he is not good at fighting, the power of a Grand Master-level warlock cannot be ignored.

Just as Warlock Congreve was taking some powder from a sheepskin bag, Luke shouted:

"Enemy attack~"

Then he ran to Wanda's carriage.

This shout woke up everyone who was sleeping.

But it also reminded the enemy that they had to take action immediately.

Screams were heard from the woods in the distance.

Soon, a red light appeared in the woods.

When Edwin got up, he also saw the scene.

"It's someone from the Vatican!"

This is not a question, it is a certainty.

Although they had suffered losses from the spell cast by Warlock Congreve, dozens of paladins still rushed out of the woods.

Wanda also started drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

Edwin and Congreve's followers also began to move forward, buying time for the warlock to cast the spell.

Wanda kept shooting arrows.

Luke only guarded a part of the area in front of the carriage.

Gorr and Dean were right beside Luke.

They are at the very back.

Outside, Edwin and Congreve's followers were under great pressure.

The paladins of the Vatican all wear armor.

Although he didn't ride a horse, his fighting ability was very strong.

Edwin and his men were fine, they had shields, formations, and coordination.

Congreve's followers suffered a great loss.

You know, in ancient cold weapon confrontations, the difference between having armor and not having armor was too huge.

Especially since these paladins are wearing heavy armor.

Congreve's followers have a hard time doing damage to the other side.

But the other party can hurt them easily.

Seeing that the team was under tremendous pressure from the outside and was in a passive position, Luke joined the battle with Gore and Dean.

Gore and Dean work very well together.

Gore swung his two-handed sword with great force.

Even if a Paladin falls in love, it is uncomfortable.

Although it won't penetrate armor when hit, the greatsword in Gor's hand looks bulky, but it is actually capable of both offense and defense.

Luke still had one hand behind his back as he moved gracefully among the crowd.

The clumsy heavy-armored paladin couldn't even touch the edge of his clothes.

And every time Luke swung his sword, he could accurately pierce the gaps in their armor.

Although these gaps are not vital parts, they can still cause harm and make it difficult for them to move.

With the addition of Luke and the other two, everyone is now evenly matched.

Suddenly, Warlock Kondrick shouted:

"Retreat~"

Then everyone felt the earthquake.

Countless thick vines emerged from the ground.

Started to entangle those paladins.

At this time, someone on the other side shouted:

"It's a Grand Maester-level warlock. Damn it, let's go... We've been deceived."

Congreve the Warlock, continued to cast spells by pulling magic items from his sheepskin bag.

There were also monks in the Vatican's team, and they began to add red divine power to the paladin's armor.

The paladins used their weapons to cut through the entangled vines and prepared to retreat.

However, those vines have produced many flowers.

Vines also appeared in front of Luke's people.

This vine separates the two sides.

Luke saw that blue flowers were blooming on the vines that continued to wrap around the Paladin.

But red flowers bloomed on the vines in front of him.

"Damn it, it's poisonous..."

The monks in the back hurriedly used their divine power to help these paladins detoxify.

But it was too late.

There was another rustling sound in the woods.

Then came the screams of the monks.

Finally, the vines wrapped around the paladins and dragged them into the woods.

After a while, there was no sound in the woods.

The others were confused because they couldn't see what was happening in the woods and were still on high alert.

Only Luke's eyes narrowed.

He could see what was going on in the woods.

This warlock Congreve is indeed a Grand Master, he is so cruel...
