Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

It is still morning, but the [Holy Warrior] was actually born at noon.

Therefore, the event also started at noon.

It seems like you arrive very early and have plenty of time to prepare, but in reality, the time flies by in the blink of an eye.

As noon approached, brave adventurers began to enter from different directions.

The believers busied themselves, assigning each different hero a designated spot, with each hero's seat bearing a unique symbol.

Even if the previous hero sacrifices himself, the next hero will still use the same position.

Instead of deliberately differentiating seats based on the heroes' status, the seating arrangement was based on the region they belonged to.

It's like your hometown is on the edge of the region, and your seat is also on the edge.

Seating was also arranged in small groups, but the seats were connected and not separated.

Aside from the aisles separating the twelve war zones, the heroes' seats are all connected, symbolizing that the heroes of each war zone are a close-knit unit.

The reason for not distinguishing positions according to status is even simpler.

From the very beginning, there was no distinction of status among the heroes; leaders naturally emerged from among them based solely on reputation and achievements.

Furthermore, if we arrange seats according to status now, what about next year? And the year after?

Even a leader-level squad may not always be the leader; there is a possibility that a newcomer will surpass them, and in a pessimistic view, one could even consider the possibility of the leader-level squad being sacrificed.

Will future heroes possess the strength and prestige of their ancestors?

That's not necessarily true.

The adventurers took their seats one by one, and the room was filled with the sound of chatting.

All the heroes were waiting for noon, and also for the Saintess Squad to take the stage.

"We were supposed to decide on the future strategy for all the heroes today, weren't we?"

I don't recall it being that long ago that we changed our strategy, right?

"Last time it was... a strategy of rotating attacks, right?"

"Is there anything else that needs to be revised? I feel that this approach is already quite good."

Only after defeating the demons did we realize what shortcomings there were. Sitting in the temple and imagining things out of thin air will probably only lead to the heroes complaining and making sacrifices before any changes can be made.

It is precisely because the Saintess Squad is a pioneer, trying and failing before all the other heroes, that they are able to make the fastest changes ahead of all the other heroes.

They took the wrong path, so other heroes don't have to.

Time passed by, and there was no sparring today. All the warriors arrived at the venue before noon.

Even the last team of heroes arrived at the venue half an hour before the tournament started.

All the heroes currently in the city have taken their seats, and the message has been conveyed to the Saintess Squad.

This also serves as a reminder to them that it's time to make final preparations.

They met in the lounge outside the preparation room. Milu sat on the sofa in the preparation room, picking at her fingers while staring at the ground, her eyes occasionally glancing around.

This was certainly not her first time attending an event of this scale; after all, her family was no ordinary family.

However, she never had a time when she absolutely needed to be the center of attention like this.

Next, she walks onto that podium, and everyone's eyes will be on her!

Milu glanced at Lycorina, who was sitting on the other side with her eyes closed, resting.

Her meticulously braided long hair and the hair accessories that adorned it complemented each other perfectly. Her saintly attire, specially made for this day, along with her impeccable makeup, made Lycorina look even more divine. With her eyes closed, she exuded a solemn, almost divine aura.

The words "Saintess" seem to perfectly embody the meaning of this moment.

In contrast, Milu was only wearing a slightly different warrior outfit than usual, without makeup, her hair was simply combed, and she did not wear any decorations that would be inappropriate for a "warrior".

Lycorina was like a goddess descended from heaven, while Milu felt like a stray dog ​​on the street...

It wasn't that she wanted to compete with Lycorina for attention; it was just that the other woman was too dazzling, and Milu felt that her own gloomy self was being dispelled by the light.

"correct."

Suddenly, Lycorina opened her eyes and said with a smile;

What were you all doing a year ago at this time?

I was praying to the Supreme God, and then the Supreme God heard my voice.

"What? Let me think... I think I just went out to help someone move some goods, and then I went home to eat."

Layton also recalled the situation at the time, and scratched his head with a smile;

Suddenly a voice came to my head, but I didn't pay attention to it.

Then seven people came to my door, saying I was a hero chosen by God, and that I should go and save the world or something. (‰)

I went there with the intention of just checking it out, but I didn't expect it to take so long.

My wife was about to kick me out when I got home; you guys were there too.

Annie: "I'm helping rebuild the village. The goblins just came by."

"Where's Miluko? What's Miluko doing?" Lycorina asked, looking at Miluko.

"N-nothing..." Milu gave an awkward smile.

Everyone else has things to do, but she's the only one with nothing to do!

"That's right, Milu can't tell us what she's doing."

Thinking about it, An Yi is really amazing. The High God hasn't even granted him any power yet, and he can already kill a level two demon!

"If it were me, I would have been crushed to death by the goblin," Lycorina exclaimed.

An Yi said calmly, "If we don't kill the goblins, they will kill my family."

I have to find a way to protect my family.

Licorina didn't say anything, she just looked at Anyi with a smile.

Today is An Yi's birthday.

No one told him that his family would also be attending the conference today!

This is a birthday surprise that Lycorina prepared for him!

Chapter 36 The Shield Hero, the Shield of Humanity (4k)

"The time has come."

As the believer outside the venue spoke to confirm the time, a group of believers nearby rammed into the giant bell.

“Buzz——

"Buzz—"

The sound of the bells resounded throughout the entire venue through a sound amplification magic circle.

Humans already possess some basic magic that can be used, and these basic spells have been further enhanced after the appearance of heroes.

Creating a magic circle in a venue with thousands of people, where everyone can hear the sound, is basically not difficult at all.

All the brave warriors looking into the arena would see that the sunlight was shining directly on the high platform in the center of the arena, and there was not even a shadow below the platform.

The calculations were perfect; the grand event would begin when the sun was directly overhead.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

Several golden spheres suddenly rose from the ground and then exploded in the air, with specks of light falling like rain, shimmering in the sunlight.

Although it was raised and detonated using magic, the points of light were simply sequins created using physical means.

Magic can achieve the same effect, but by incorporating methods that ordinary people can also use, it becomes more relatable.

All the heroes sitting here were just ordinary humans until this very moment a year ago, just a few seconds ago.

At this moment, eight light screens rose from all eight directions in mid-air, showing a close-up view of the high platform.

It doesn't obstruct the view while in mid-air, allowing the heroes to look up and see a closer view of the platform.

The next moment, the image on the light screen changed—

The silver-haired girl slowly walked up the steps below the platform.

At this moment, all the heroes sat upright, the atmosphere solemn, there were no extra cheers, and everyone held their breath, as if time had stood still.

The saintess wore a pristine white robe adorned with gold rust patterns that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight. Her waist-length silver hair was decorated with jewels, each one sparkling with a different light, adding to her indescribable divine aura.

Her steps were light yet dignified, each step exuding composure and majesty. Her clear and firm gaze was fixed straight ahead, and she walked quietly forward, just like a goddess walking among mortals.

Reaching the very front of the platform, Lycorina slowly raised her hand, and her long silver hair suddenly turned golden, as if a holy light shone forth, as if the sunlight shining down from the cloudless blue sky was crowning her!

"Everyone, I am the [Holy Warrior]."

She was also a saint of the Aldrich Church;

Lycorina Aldrich.

Humanity's first hero.

A gentle voice spoke in a solemn tone, echoing in the hall like the tolling of a bell.

"Welcome to the 4359 brave warriors who have arrived today, and a salute to all the brave warriors fighting on the front lines."

"Thanks to them for protecting the borders of our human territory, we are able to begin today's meeting."

Yes, this is a meeting, a meeting with more than four thousand people, not a banquet.

Without much small talk, we got to talk about something very important.

"First of all, I must report something to everyone."

Just a month ago, our Saintess Squad led a group of elite warriors to complete a special secret mission.

During our in-depth investigation of the demon race, we unexpectedly discovered that eight demon viscounts were gathered in the same city.

Since seven demon viscounts were unable to fight on their home turf, we made a decision.

That is, to simultaneously defeat the eight-headed demon viscount in this city.

With the assistance of our elite warriors and the Alliance of Heroes, we successfully killed eight viscount-level demon nobles in a single night.
