After making the decision, Galen immediately began summoning water elementals. With Gandalf's breakthrough to the Legendary tier, the water elementals he summoned were now as tall as six meters, and their duration had also increased significantly. Given enough time, he could summon nearly a hundred of them.
The situation on the field had become intense. Dezco had no choice but to obey his father's orders, gathering his men to prepare for a breakout. Time was running out, and Galen didn't need to summon too many elementals; just enough to form a formation.
Five minutes later, a dozen water elementals charged out from behind the , heading straight for the centaur overseer's position, with Galen at the tip of the spear.
It wasn't him boasting, but the centaur overseer's strength was only at the peak of the eighth level, and even the Chieftain of the Skychaser was only at the ninth level. Everyone else there was trash, no match for him. If he wasn't afraid of being besieged and killed if he went out alone, he would have already charged in. Why waste time summoning water elementals?
Galen brandished Tokalar in his hand. This troll slayer was just as effective at killing centaurs. The water elementals behind him helped him break up the centaur's battle formation. Continuous bursts of water slammed into the centaur warriors, sending them flying and spitting blood.
The centaur overseer, seeing these strange creatures getting closer and closer, felt a raging fire burning in his heart. He roared, ordering his subordinates to stop Galen and the water elementals.
Water elementals over six meters tall were visually intimidating, and Galen was also particularly cunning, fighting while waiting for the summoning cooldown to end, then summoning new water elementals. The centaurs realized that these giant water elementals were only increasing in number, and their hearts were filled with terror.
The Skychaser at the center of the battlefield also noticed that someone was supporting them. The chieftain immediately changed his orders: "Stop the breakout! Target: the centaur overseer! We'll join up with the brave warrior helping us!"
"Charge! Kill these stupid centaurs!"
"Kill! A blood debt must be paid!"
In an instant, hundreds of tauren were filled with imposing momentum, and the centaurs who approached them were overturned one by one.
When they joined up with Galen, the Chieftain of the Skychaser was filled with surprise to see that the one supporting them was actually a little guy less than two meters tall.
However, being in the midst of battle, he was an experienced warrior. He suppressed his surprise and decided to deal with the centaurs first.
The centaur warriors charged at the water elementals like moths to a flame, while Galen's armor was already stained with blood from the slaughter. Corpses piled up like mountains at the feet of the water elementals. The centaur overseer retreated continuously, realizing that he was no match for this little guy. The tauren were also constantly approaching, and the numerical advantage was gone, so he decided to retreat.
As the number of water elementals exceeded a hundred, the centaur overseer finally couldn't withstand the pressure and blew the horn for retreat. Then, ignoring the rest of his tribe, he took off on all four hooves and fled south in a puff of smoke.
Seeing the centaurs running away without a trace, Galen didn't chase. Killing enemies wasn't his goal; the tauren were.
He silently wiped the longsword in his hand. A water elemental extended its thick upper limb, silently controlling the water flow to wash the blood off Galen's body.
The Skychaser rested in place. The chieftain and his son, Dezco, took the lead in walking towards Galen. What they saw was Galen's back as he wiped his weapon amidst the water elementals, seemingly short and weak, yet mysterious and powerful.
This wave allowed Galen to show off.
"Thank you for your help, warrior! We, the Tauren, will remember your kindness!"
With the Arcane Intellect buff, Galen could understand the tauren's language. Gandalf's Tongues spell wasn't within the system's pay-to-win range, so Galen couldn't use it. Therefore, he raised his hand and also cast Arcane Intellect on these two cows.
"Chieftain of the Skychaser, helping you is what I should do. I am Galen Trollbane. An'she, the Sun, has given me a dream, to come to the west and save the faithful of the Earth Mother!"
Galen began his fabrication mode, with a solemn expression. Unfortunately, his face was too young. If he had a bit more of a beard, he might have been more persuasive.
"How is that possible!" Dezco widened his cow eyes, looking incredulous. If this little creature hadn't just helped him and his tribe, with his young cow's hot temper, he wouldn't be questioning him with words, but would have already drawn his blade and started fighting.
Every tauren believed in the Earth Mother. They believed that the Earth Mother created life and nurtured the earth. As members of the Skychaser tribe, they were even more devoted to An'she, the Sun, the Earth Mother's right eye.
Suddenly, a strange being came and said that he was An'she's messenger. Not to mention a young cow, even his father, the current Chieftain of the Skychaser, the one with the most unwavering faith, didn't believe it.
Of course, Galen didn't expect them to believe his words with just one sentence. Back then, Uncle Benshan didn't trick people into becoming disabled with just one sentence either. This trickery requires routines and evidence.
Galen smiled and extended his hands forward, palms flat, signaling the father and son cows to put their hands on his.
Dezco and his father were puzzled, but they understood the meaning. They each extended their huge palms with only three fingers and placed them on Galen's palms.
This scene was like two adults holding a baby's hand, full of absurdity.
Galen's fingers touched the palms of the tauren, and he closed his eyes, carefully sensing the very weak light source within their bodies.
The light source within their bodies was the foundation for their future achievement as Sunwalkers. At this moment, they were like saplings, accumulating for decades, awakening on their own, and becoming tauren paladins.
What Galen had to do at this moment was to use his Holy Light power to guide the solar power within their bodies. Although the sources of Holy Light and solar power were different, their energy attributes were similar, and theoretically, Galen's expectations could be achieved.
The power of Holy Light entered the tauren's bodies along the connection of their arms, searching for familiar energy all the way, and found the seed of solar power at the location of the tauren's heart.
Next was stimulation and guidance. This little seed needed a lot of nutrients, otherwise it wouldn't have needed to accumulate for decades.
The nutrients were readily available. Galen prepared to use his Holy Light power to feed this solar power, strengthening the seed, and what Galen needed to pay was only some gold resources in the resource bar.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Dezco felt a warm current entering his chest along his arm, and his heart tightened. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he saw his father's disapproving look.
As an elder, the Chieftain of the Skychaser could feel Galen's goodwill, and if he wanted to harm them, he wouldn't have needed to rescue them just now. He only needed to wait for the centaurs to kill these hundreds of cows.
He didn't know how long it had been, but Galen had already spent nearly ten thousand gold in his resource bar. Galen also felt that his use of Holy Light was becoming more and more proficient, and he no longer had the unfamiliarity of buying it with money.
Three brilliant rays of light emanated from the bodies of the three people, and the tauren not far away were blinded by the Holy Light on their bodies.
Success!
Galen was overjoyed. This time, he not only successfully turned the Skychaser father and son into Sunwalkers, but through his understanding of the Holy Light energy flowing in his body, he spontaneously awakened into a paladin, and from then on, he didn't need to pay-to-win to use Holy Light skills.
An unexpected surprise.
Galen opened his eyes and saw that the two tauren in front of him were still closing their eyes and comprehending the solar power erupting from their bodies. Galen didn't disturb them and let them quietly experience the new power in their bodies.
What could be more convincing that he was An'she's messenger than giving them the power of solar power? Moreover, Holy Light and solar power were very similar, and they couldn't tell the difference, so whatever he said was the truth.
Moreover, he still had the next step of his plan, one ring after another. He wouldn't leave today if he didn't trick the tauren into becoming disabled.
The Skychaser father and son opened their eyes, and the joy on their faces couldn't be concealed. They had already felt the new power in their bodies. In an instant, Galen seemed to have directly maxed out the Skychaser' reputation.
They were directly worshiping him! He had instantly become an ally.
Very good, Galen received this signal, and now he could implement the second step of the plan.
