Levi stared at the white haze in the distance, pursed his dry lips, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
When a cavalry charged, they wouldn't bring any useless items, including dry rations. At this moment, Levi was enduring the pain from his broken leg, but he realized that he hadn't eaten for a day and a night.
Levi was a Holy Knight.
In the entire Lambas Knight Division, there were many titles and ranks for knights. The lowest was called Apprentice Knight, followed by Official Knight, Holy Knight, and the higher ranked Holy Flame Knight.
Apprentice Knights wouldn't participate in official battles. Only after passing the assessment and becoming an Official Knight would they have the right to participate in battles. Holy Knights represented those who had surpassed the threshold of the seventh grade and had become a high-grade professional knight. As for the Holy Flame Knight, it referred to those who had surpassed the eighth grade and were high-grade knights.
The leader and vice leader of the Knight Division that Levi was in were both Holy Flame Knights, and they were all powerful individuals. Levi was a small team leader, and his strength wasn't weak at all. When it came to battles, this Lambas lad had extraordinary passion and intuition.
However, life couldn't always be smooth sailing. Levi had now encountered a hurdle in his life.
Holy Knights were different from Priests.
Although they also believed in the Holy Light, the Holy Knights didn't have divine spells like the Holy Light Healing Spell that the Priests had. During the battle, they would receive a boost in strength for a short period of time through prayer. Moreover, this boost wasn't obvious for low-level Knights. Only high-level Knights with strong physical strength could truly achieve outstanding results under the effect of these buff divine spells. Thus, they would be able to exert more strength in battle.
The only skills that Knights could actively release had a huge price, and one of them was the famous' Sacrifice Blessing '. Through the power of the Holy Light, half of the blessed person's pain would be transferred to oneself.
This skill made Knights famous far and wide, because this skill gave people a more obvious and direct understanding of them — 'Through thick and thin'!
At this moment, Levi wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked down at his immobile right leg. He lifted his head slightly, and exhaled. Then, he gripped his dagger and looked in the direction of the rising sun. After confirming the direction, he gritted his teeth and began to crawl towards the direction of the Sith Court!
That's right, he was crawling towards Sith Ting with both hands and one leg!
Wail crawled out of the forest with a resolute gaze. He was the kind of person who would do something to the end once he made up his mind. Tenacity was the biggest difference between Holy Knights and other professions.
In the face of any conditions, he could grit his teeth and endure the pain. In the face of the stench of the battlefield and the corpses scattered on the road, he did not change his expression.
The zombies on the battlefield were not all dead. Although the knights attacked the zombies with the principle of killing as many as possible, there were still many zombies who were only seriously injured but not dead.
Levi clenched the dagger in his mouth and tried his best to avoid the zombies that were rolling on the ground but did not get back up.
Those who could get up had already fled towards the direction of the Khalim Forest. The rest were basically unable to keep up with the zombies.
Levi was not interested in finishing off the zombies that were howling in terror. Although exterminating the undead was one of the principles of a Holy Knight, Levi needed to conserve his strength at this moment because he could not guarantee that he would not encounter any other situations while crawling towards Sith Ting.
Because of the removal of the plate armor, other than the composite pauldrons on his shoulders and the bracers on his wristguards, the rest of his body was covered in cloth clothes. The air was cold, but it didn't make him retreat at all.
The morning fog gradually dispersed as the sun rose. The direct rays of the sun caused the zombies that were rolling on the ground to let out their final howls. Charred black spots gradually appeared on their bodies.
"Hmm?"
Levi suddenly raised his head and rolled to the side, hiding behind a protruding rock.
The sound of horse hooves gradually came from the distance and then suddenly stopped.
Levi raised his head and saw a snow-white horse stop in front of him. No, it wasn't a horse!
Its long horn pointed towards the sky, and at this moment, it was covered in a layer of faint gold under the sunlight.
"Knight?"
Levi heard the man on the horse ask and instantly understood that he was not an enemy.
"Praise the Lord, I am a Knight of Lambas!
My Lord, I beg for your help! "
Levi tried to stand up by holding onto the rock. He wanted to clumsily bow, but the pain in his leg made his body stiff.
Many of them dismounted from their horses and took a few steps to Levi's side. They first looked around, and after confirming that there were no threats, they placed their hands on Levi's shoulders and pulled him out from behind the rocks.
Levi wore a thin layer of clothing, and his tanned skin and sturdy body made him look like a village boy. However, the thick calluses on his hands showed that he was skilled in martial arts.
"My name is Many, an Autorrean."
Many placed the injured knight on the rock and did not reveal his identity. At the same time, he did not wear any accessories that could reveal his identity.
"Thank you, my Lord!
May the Holy Light bless me, I have been trapped here for a night. "
Wail's voice was simple and honest, and a sense of simplicity washed over them, making them feel a sense of closeness.
"That … My Lord, can you —"
Before he could finish, Many handed him a bottle of water. "Drink more, don't be shy, just call me Many."
"Thank you so much!
Many! "
Levi grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.
His shoulders were broad, and his body was tall and strong. It was obvious that he was the kind of person who relied on his strength to make a living. His reddish-brown hair was short, and because he wore a helmet for a long time, it was pressed tightly against his head. However, with his simple appearance, he looked pleasing to the eye.
His eyes were dark blue, clear and bright. Many felt that it had been a long time since he saw such penetrating eyes. He only felt this way when he saw Salia for the first time.
With Levi's level 7 strength, would he be thirsty for a stranger just because he did not drink for a night?
No, but Levi was indeed a little thirsty. He would not think about anything else, so he directly made a request.
Many admired his straightforward personality. He saw Levi sitting on the rock, and his legs were unnaturally slanted to the side.
"Are you a soldier of the Lambas cavalry?" Many pointed at Levi's legs. "If you don't mind, can I take a look?
I know some medical skills. "
"Oh?
You're a priest? "Levi gulped down a mouthful of water without hesitation and looked at Many." Is there a church in Oditore?
We passed by there and saw a castle! "
"No, no, not only priests can heal."
Many used his spiritual power to examine Levi's leg. Levi's bones were not seriously fractured, but only cracked. It was fortunate that this was the case. If the bone had pierced through his artery, he would have been a corpse.
"Are you going to Sith's Court?" Many asked as he nodded at Athena.
"Yes!
My comrades are still there. Our leader said that we should gather there after the pursuit. "
Levi replied with a loud voice. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, he looked much more energetic, and looked like a bright young man.
"You're a qualified cavalryman. I haven't asked for your name —"
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Levi Gner, a holy knight of the Lambas's Third Squad of Knights!"
Levi said with a Lambas' etiquette.
"You were very brave during the battle last night."
Many turned around and touched Athena. Athena lowered her head slightly and touched her horn on Levi's right leg.
A green light flashed, and the holy knight's leg underwent an obvious change. Levi's eyes widened as he looked at Athena. "The God of Light above!
You must be an emissary of the God of Light! "
Many thought that this guy really didn't know anything other than the God of Light, so they didn't argue with him.
A cool feeling flowed through his body, and Levi felt the pain in his right leg instantly subsiding. He then tried to move, and was surprised to find that he could stand up!
"Your Excellency!
Levi Gner thanks you for your help! "
After saying that, he actually performed the highest etiquette of a knight — kneeling down on one knee and thanking Many.
This made Many raise their eyebrows. Knights wouldn't easily bow to others, not to mention the Lambas's Holy Knights. They would only bow to people with religious status.
This was also Levi's original personality. He would be nice to anyone who was nice to him. Levi was a very simple person, and he wouldn't think in a roundabout way.
His leg was broken, and this person healed it. To Levi, this was a great favor!
Knight's Principles: Humility, Integrity, Compassion, Bravery, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Soul!
Humility came first. One had to learn to be respectful to everyone and be grateful to those who had helped him.
