Using his mental power to cross a distance of several kilometers, he scanned the mercenaries he had let go and the slaves running away crying, but the ones chasing them were a group of harpies.
This kind of monster, which had only been seen in myths and legends, immediately aroused William's interest.
He turned back to Rag, who was on guard because of his sudden stop, and said, "Wait for Ham here, and then find a suitable place to camp."
Rag looked at the sun setting in the west, nodded, and saw William's figure running quickly to the left and rear.
Although the unicorn is not known for its speed, she is still a legendary monster. When running at full speed, she can not only ignore the terrain, but also because after William released a holy light blessing on her,
With all attributes increased by 20%, it only took less than a minute to travel several kilometers, and William saw a slave running away with a look of fear on his face.
He stopped his horse on the hillside and looked a hundred meters away.
What surprised him was that the team of more than a hundred thieves, hunters and mercenaries were not frightened by more than twenty harpies and fled for their lives regardless of their companions.
Instead, after being dispersed by the harpies, they divided into several formations to resist back to back. There were even many slaves in the formations who were being protected by them.
Tell William even that whether these mercenaries were really protecting the slaves or thinking that they would be more powerful in numbers, in short, they did not throw the slaves out to feed the harpy, so they were considered individuals.
Therefore, William, who admired the supremacy of mankind in his heart, rode on the horse and stretched out his left hand, and the sentinel material of the Holy Light Armor transformed into a 1.2-meter bow in one second.
The right hand pulled the bowstring composed of holy light, and a long arrow composed of holy light flashed like a meteor, hitting the mercenary holding one end, letting out a sharp, ear-piercing laugh, and flapped its wings to fly.
Banshee.
Before the remaining harpies could recover, William pulled hard three times with his right hand, and three holy light arrows destroyed the heads of the three harpies in the blink of an eye.
Then three more arrows were fired to kill the three-headed banshee, and the rescued mercenary fell from the sky to the mud. He ignored the pain and looked at the light he had seen from the corner of his eye when he was in the air.
The direction from which the arrow came.
I saw a human being covered in silver armor, a light gold cloak, holding a long bow that glowed brightly. He was riding on the back of a mythical beast with a white head and a single horn. He drew his bow and arrows and easily shot through three heads in a row.
Harpy.
"By Zeus," everyone present excitedly raised their hands, or the weapons in their hands, and faced the harpies, who died in ten seconds, screamed in fear, and fled in all directions.
'I want to escape,' William snorted in his heart. Although he didn't care about the lives of unrelated people, he didn't want to see monsters killing people wantonly.
Putting the long bow in his hand into the sentinel material bow holster formed on the unicorn's horse according to his thoughts, he mentally locked onto the fifteen harpies that were escaping.
Raising his hand, he wanted to release thunder.
But he soon realized that since he was plotting against Zeus, he had better not irritate him too much.
Immediately, fifteen rays of holy light appeared out of thin air, above the heads of the harpies who were turning left and right in the woods, turning into lightsabers and easily piercing the hearts of the harpies.
"Hoo hoo hoo", seeing William easily kill all the banshees, the living mercenaries and slaves all raised their hands in excitement and screamed angrily.
Then, everyone knelt down and worshiped in the direction of William, saying words of gratitude.
When William was thinking about letting these people get up and leave, he suddenly found an inexplicable force trying to penetrate himself.
He frowned, grabbed his hand in the air, and instantly understood that the golden energy in his hand was the power of faith.
It's not worth collecting it now, it would be a pity to destroy it.
In the short term, this power is simple and easy to acquire. It can easily raise your own strength to a level beyond that of Odin and Zeus, who are on the same level as you.
But in the long run, human faith will definitely experience its peak and then gradually weaken. Once you get used to the power you get easily, it will not be that easy to give up in the future.
In addition, it seemed that his strength could continue to grow without faith. William's palms suddenly tightened, and when he was about to destroy this power of faith, he suddenly thought that if he didn't want it, he would try to give it to others.
He lowered his head and looked at the dozen or so slaves kneeling around him. They ran away before, but now they are running back, burying their heads deep in the soil and kneeling before themselves as if they were worshiping a god.
A trace of the power of faith was injected into an injured slave. Within a few seconds, not only did the slave's injuries recover, but William also clearly felt that this man's physical fitness was rapidly improving.
After his idea came true, William smiled, took out a jade stone used as a healing charm, and tried to inject the power of faith into the jade stone. Soon, a golden light group appeared in the pure white jade stone.
"Hahahaha", William suddenly laughed happily, and then he released several balls of holy light in his heart, covering several people a hundred meters away. A holy light also appeared above the heads of the dozen slaves around him,
For a moment, everyone, whether injured or not, felt that their wounds were itching, their injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, or their exhausted bodies were rapidly recovering their strength, and even the hidden injuries in their bodies in the past were beginning to recover.
.
Now everyone kneeling on the ground, after feeling the condition of their bodies, blessed William more devoutly in their hearts and felt grateful to William.
When the power of these people's beliefs appeared beside William out of thin air, he used his mental power to gather it into his body and mind, and then stored it in the jade tablet.
After collecting the power of faith and thinking about it, William did not put the jade tablets into the storage space. He still had to test whether the power of faith stored in the jade tablets would fade over time.
Dissipated between heaven and earth.
Hanging the jade plaque around his waist with sentinel material, William thought for a few seconds and then used sound transmission witchcraft to speak to these people,
"My name is William Devonshire, a human whose strength exceeds that of the gods. He who is not a god is better than a god. Those who kneel down and worship me will receive my blessing."
After saying that, nearly two hundred holy light blessings entered everyone's bodies. They felt their strength increased, and heard William say that he was a human being who surpassed the gods.
While these people were frightened, they actually believed in their hearts that William was not lying.
After all, it is impossible for the gods to say that they are human beings, and William, who can emit holy light, is even less likely to be a dark creature such as a demon or devil.
For a moment, these people who wanted to go to the inland city-state to gather together to survive immediately wanted to follow William.
It's a pity that he is afraid of trouble, and he also knows that if the wishes and expectations of these people are not met in the future, these people will turn around and complain, and even hate his own William, and he does not want to carry this group of burdens with him at all.
Pulling the reins of the horse and about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and smiled, throwing out nearly two hundred large Devonshire gold coins engraved with his own image.
"Seeing that you didn't feed people to monsters, I will reward each of you with a Devonshire gold coin, and then find a stable city-state to live well."
After saying that, William kicked the unicorn in the belly with his back foot and rushed down the hillside.
