Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 169 A Battle of Saints? No, a Battle of Demigods!
"I didn't expect there to be two decent guys among those who slipped through the net."

"I underestimated you natives this time."

"However, how long can this old guy on the other side keep going at this desperate pace?"

"Don't say that I, the governor, didn't give you a chance. If you surrender now, I can make an exception and take you in as servants. It would be a way of appreciating your talent."

"So, what do you two think? Won't you consider it?"

Flames scorched the sea, while the black serpent froze everything in its cold silence.

The clash between fire and ice is destined to unleash an unimaginable storm.

At this moment, the troll governor was quite at ease fighting the two saint-level professionals, and even surprisingly tried to persuade them to surrender.

"To value talent, one must serve it?"

"How ridiculous! I've never heard of any human professionals among the servants of trolls. Haha, how come you, who have always been incredibly arrogant alien races, have started using such despicable rhetoric?"

The giant of fire, when transformed into its elemental form, reaches a height of nearly two thousand meters.

With a mere gesture, he ignited the entire sea area. Amidst the burning magic, he suddenly reached out and grabbed a giant frozen black snake, tearing the thousand-meter-long snake in two with a roar.

Looking indifferently at everything before him, the troll governor said calmly:

"Things are different now. As the governor of a city in the southern part of the continent, I have the authority to protect you in an emergency."

"If you are willing to become my servants, as long as you make further great contributions, I am confident that I can protect you from the radical demands of the Imperial Military."

"This kind of opportunity is rare, so make your choice."

The troll governor's words caused both the old priest and the burly man to be momentarily taken aback.

After all, ever since the trolls descended upon the world of Calth, they have consistently advocated a policy of annihilating all the followers of the gods.

Those who gain power from dungeons are naturally categorized as believers of the gods.

Therefore, for over a hundred years, the Troll Empire has rarely spoken to human professionals; their motto in this world has been to slaughter all professionals.

Now, the troll's sudden offer of surrender, and even his desire to recruit the two as his servants, has given both the priest Kaven and the burly man Id an inexplicable and exciting guess.

These trolls are in trouble!!!
Otherwise, this troll would never have said such a thing.

Moreover, trolls are naturally proud, and a high-ranking troll like the Saint rank would have no reason to lie to them.

Then, in the next moment, the burly man, Id, suddenly burst into laughter:

"Haha, what goes around comes around!"

"What, even you self-important alien races have encountered problems you can't solve?"

"Could it be that some great enemy has suddenly descended upon our world, causing trouble for you trolls?"

"Interesting, really interesting, haha, for over a hundred years, there has never been anything more exhilarating than this news."

Faced with the fire giant's mockery and unrestrained behavior, the troll governor was indeed quite composed.

"It's just a minor inconvenience."

"I am telling you this because I appreciate your talent, but that does not mean I have no way to deal with you."

"In my opinion, the fact that you two have been able to persevere in maintaining your clan's continuity and even your faith for over a hundred years, even as enemies, is truly admirable."

"Therefore, this is the only time I will show you mercy and give you a choice!"

"Alright! Give me your answers!"

The troll governor did indeed admire the two men's persistence.

The situation of the native humans has become so dire in just over a hundred years, yet these two Saint-level professionals have been able to protect hundreds of thousands of humans overseas for so long.

It truly made him look at the situation in a new light.

However, these two Saint-level humans indeed had no choice.

Without establishing bases overseas and providing shelter to surviving humans, how can we ensure the continuity of human civilization?

After all, the troll race had never accepted the surrender or service of any professional.

The arrogant trolls are too lazy to even differentiate themselves and recruit different professionals to serve them.

Ultimately, these trolls were worried that leaving too many professionals behind would lead to a rapid resurgence of the gods.

Therefore, in order to eliminate any future troubles, the trolls will show absolutely no mercy to anyone or anything associated with the gods during the War of Civilizations.

At this point, the troll governor's intention to take them both as servants was ultimately a preparation for the current chaotic situation.

At least they possessed the power of two Saint-level beings.

To be a Saint-level being who has survived from the War of Civilizations to the present must have something unique about them.

They might even possess powerful artifacts left behind by deities.

In order to minimize losses and to maximize the credit by eliminating these survivors.

At this point, the governor naturally had reason to adopt a more lenient approach.

However, his attempt to persuade them to surrender was destined to be wishful thinking.

The hatred between humans and trolls has long since reached an irreconcilable point.

The trolls wanted to eradicate human civilization in this world and completely tame all humans into their slaves and servants.

Anyone with a modicum of self-respect would never agree to something like this.

"Answer?"

"Ridiculous!!! With the hatred of annihilating your clan and killing your son before, you, a foreign race, actually dare to talk to me about surrendering? Becoming slaves and servants? Haha, truly laughable!"

"Hmph! Enough with the nonsense, let's settle this with our skills!"

"The afterglow of the gods, the slayer of demons, come forth! Let our troll lord experience firsthand the power the gods left behind on earth! This is your last chance to prove yourself!"

At that moment, a glittering crystal suddenly appeared out of thin air in the giant of flames!

The crystal's magical energy fluctuations are extremely strong.

It even contains a trace of divine power that is difficult for ordinary people to perceive!
The troll governor's expression suddenly turned serious the moment he saw the crystal appear.

Things did indeed develop in the direction he least wanted to see!
When the priest Kaven saw Id take out the crystal, he was filled with sighs.

He even said that the city lord would retreat after a simple battle with the trolls, and build a new stronghold for the relocated survivors.

As a result, he has now even brought out precious divine artifacts!
In this era of fallen gods, such a tool will inevitably be damaged after just one use.

It was essentially a one-time use item, a life-saving item, yet this city lord actually used it in this place.

However, at this moment, the priest Kaven already knew why Id had used the divinely bestowed crystal at this time.

Very simple.

Because the troll governor should never have informed Id of the strange changes occurring on the continent, and in order to use this opportunity to subdue Id.

The mainland is in chaos.

This means that the trolls will no longer be able to continue their efforts to wipe out the humans in the outer seas.

So, is there any better time to use this crystal than now?

As long as the holy-level troll in front of us is repelled, or even killed, the humans here will not need to be relocated.

Even now, if he could, Priest Kaven is considering making contact with the trolls, the enemies who could potentially plunge the continent of Carth back into chaos. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, but this could offer a glimmer of hope for human civilization in Carth!
If we could capture this troll governor at this moment, or even risk his head to confront the troll enemies, that would be far better.

Having figured this out, Priest Kaven's expression relaxed!

At that moment, the crystal in the Flame Giant's hand exploded in the next instant!
And it was at this moment.

Suddenly, a bright, blazing white light burst forth in the sky!

Hurricane, dark clouds, everything was blown away!

And suddenly, amidst this blazing white light, a colossal elemental being appeared!
That was a winged humanoid being with a voluptuous figure.

Its entire body was enveloped in huge, pure white wings, and as the twelve pairs of enormous, holy wings unfolded...

The next moment, the figure stretched out and floated in the air between heaven and earth with a terrifying figure of more than five thousand meters!

At that very moment, the female 'angel' who had closed her eyes opened her emotionless eyes!

When it looked down at the troll governor, the indifference in its eyes was replaced by intense killing intent.

"Angel?"

"A servant of the indigenous deity, a projection of a demigod."

Looking at this holy figure, the troll governor showed no fear, only a hint of caution and admiration.

The troll archdemon is not capable of participating in the War of the Stars.

However, the existence of gods and demigods in this world during the War of the Stars is no secret within the Empire.

After the war, many meetings were recorded, and even the Imperial Library has records of them.

Therefore, this troll governor was fully aware of the existence of angels.

"Now that you have made your choice, I cannot let you down."

"A mere projection of a fallen demigod, I'd like to see how much power he can still muster now!"

The troll governor's expression turned slightly cold!
Then, the very next moment the angel appeared, its hand suddenly rose into the air!

At the same time, the cane instantly burst forth with a terrifying gray aura.

This gray current shot straight up to the heavens and earth, instantly squeezing out a large amount of holy light that filled the space between the sea and sky.

At that moment, a large number of trolls and even human professionals on the battlefield instantly left the battlefield.

Next up is a battle of gods!

Even if this duel is a projection battle between demigods.

That's not a range that ordinary extraordinary beings can linger in.

The gray fog was thick as smoke, and then suddenly receded and gathered back as the smoke rose.

The next moment, a terrifying two-horned troll appeared!
This troll was covered in a large number of bizarre runes that would dazzle ordinary creatures.

Even in the brief moment of stretching one's body, a faint explosion could be heard echoing in the air.

The two-horned troll is naturally also a projection of a demigod.

Its height is even less than that of an angel, only a mere three thousand meters.

However, the elemental bodies projected by it are more solid and heavy, and their aura is even more terrifying!

This may be the difference between a living demigod projection and a dead demigod projection!
The appearance of the two demigod projections happened in the blink of an eye.

Then, the battle of the gods erupted instantly!

The sky was filled with holy arrows of light shooting out, and a large number of gray chains stretched out continuously.

During this process, the angelic projection continuously used the elemental swords it drew to sever all the chains.

But when the chains are broken, new ones always appear and try to break through and imprison the angels.

During this process, the angel projection clearly did not intend to fight a protracted war, and instantly conjured a magnificent giant longsword in its hand!

The terrifying giant sword slashed down fiercely at the troll!
At that moment, the terrifying sword light triggered an elemental upheaval.

The ocean was even instantly cleaved into a flow-interrupted interlayer that stretched over thirty kilometers.

As for the troll projection, it was successfully split in two by this sword and turned into nothingness mist!
But soon, a burst of mocking laughter followed.

Right behind the angel projection, the terrifying figure of the troll projection instantly materialized again above the space.

With a sarcastic smile on his face, he suddenly slammed a punch hard into the angel's face!
"boom!!!"

Accompanied by a terrifying airburst

The next moment, the sea suddenly surged with terrifying waves, creating a huge crater!

Inside the pit lay the terrifying figure of an angel's projection!
"So it was a failure after all? What a complete waste!"

"To call him the Demon Slayer is a waste of such a demigod title."

The Flame Giant, Id, looked extremely grim.

This is because the angel projection lying in the terrifying crater had its entire upper body destroyed by the troll projection!

Its lower body was also rapidly turning into light spots and constantly dissipating.

The angel appeared for only a few breaths before being hastily defeated, a truly pathetic sight.

However, it was, after all, a projection of a fallen angel, devoid of intelligence and with its power greatly diminished. How could it possibly defeat a living troll demigod based solely on instinct?
"Id!!! Run!!!"

The moment the troll demigod projection appeared, the priest Kaven already knew that things would definitely be difficult!
They never expected that the holy-level troll they encountered would happen to be a descendant of a demigod.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to have the protection of a demigod, since a demigod's projection into the mortal world also involves huge costs and expenses.

Therefore, this probability was truly unexpected by both of them.

The moment the angel projection was destroyed, Priest Kaven immediately sent a telepathic message to the Flame Giant!

By this point, Id naturally knew that there was no chance.

Without thinking twice, he abruptly crushed the precious teleportation crystal in his hand.

However, the shattered crystal did not teleport Id away at all!

It was as if Id had simply crushed an ordinary glass bead.

In just a moment, both Priest Kaven and Flame Id's expressions changed drastically!

Suddenly, both of them looked at the troll projection.

At this moment, the terrifying projection of the demigod troll was looking down at the two of them, with a disdainful expression on its face.

"Two little native insects actually dared to attempt to ambush and hunt down the genius descendant of my Damon family. They really have some nerve!"

"Trying to escape now? Too late! Since I have already paid the price for my arrival, I will conveniently turn you into the merits of my descendants!"

The troll demigod projection had an indifferent expression.

The next moment, he opened his palm towards the Flame Giant Id.

At the same time, a terrifying gray magical hand suddenly formed high in the sky.

This palm, with a diameter of over ten kilometers, slammed down fiercely into the sea!
