Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

After listening to Father Su An’s words, Lin Feng’s expression slightly changed, falling into deep thought.

After contemplating for a few seconds, he spoke in a low voice:

"How many members are there in a Knight Corps approximately, and how strong is their combat ability?"

"With the organization of the Temple Knights, they shouldn’t be weak, right?"

It’s a matter concerning the future safety of Oasis Town and whether Lin Feng can leave Oasis Town safely and reach the Holy City, so he is more concerned about the enemy’s strength.

Father Su An sighed and slowly replied:

"Very strong, a Knight Corps has three squads, the leader of each squad possesses mid-stage Tier Two strength and is considered an Official Knight, each of their subordinates has three early-stage Tier Two Apprentice Knights."

"Calculating this, there are twelve Temple Knights in total. Given the Holy City’s level of attention to this mission, the leading commander should also be a Knight Commander at the Tier Two middle stage limit, which corresponds to a Level 26 evolver."

"After fusing with the Holy Spring Water, their combat power can rival that of a Tier Two Peak existence."

"The two other squad leaders can also be comparable to Tier Two Late Stage Evolvers, and the nine Apprentice Knights, according to the selection rules, can be on par with me and Xu Wanfeng, the President, and can be considered Mid-stage Evolvers."

"Besides this, these Temple Knights will also bring nine to twelve Knight’s Attendants."

"They are candidates for the Knight Order members, known as Knight Apprentices."

"Becoming a Knight Apprentice gives them a great chance to be promoted to an early-stage Tier Two Apprentice Knight."

"Only the strongest Battle Grand Priests in the Holy City, Level 19 evolvers, can obtain this qualification."

"Like Oasis Town’s four Grand Priests, whose combat strength can already rival ordinary early-stage Tier Two Evolvers but in the recruitment conditions of Temple Knights, one’s chances are considered for the apprentice training program."

"However, apprentices must not be over a hundred years old, so many Grand Priests are stuck at this threshold."

"A Knight Corps like this, looking at today’s Wasteland, without a Tier Three King involved, no other Wandering Force or second-tier influence can pose a threat to them."

Saying this, Father Su An’s expression showed a hint of excitement, after all, no one understood the combat power of the Temple Knights better than a priest versed in both literature and combat:

"Take the Salvation Army, with the heritage background of the City of Salvation, and a leader at the Tier Two Peak, just a step away from advancing to Tier Three."

"A top-level second-tier influence like this can dominate the Wasteland, but facing a Knight Corps, not even Bai Ye, let alone two or three top second-tier influences together, could gain any advantage."

"After all, Temple Knights are the essence of the Holy See, the pinnacle of martial force, and whether in personal combat skills or the provided weaponry and equipment, they are top-notch."

"Not something the second-tier existence in the Wasteland can match, even if their individual combat power is comparable, the differences in equipment will widen the gap."

"But such an invincible Temple Knight Squad has been heavily damaged, and not only did they not reach Oasis Town on time but have also disappeared without a trace..."

"Only our breakthrough squad, while searching for and contacting the Pilgrimage Convoy, happened to encounter a severely injured Knight Apprentice, lying unconscious behind a rock’s shadow on the right side of Oasis Avenue."

"This apprentice was not only heavily injured but also had extensive burns all over, suspected to be directly hit by a large-caliber firearm."

"Before falling into a coma, he left several messages in the armor’s log system, warning us to evacuate immediately or to directly enter the coverage area of the Zhuma Divine Hall at the fork for shelter."

"As for the specific encounter in battle, although the intelligent central system inside the Undying Holy Armor had some recordings, as the camera was damaged during the fight, the identity of the enemy is still being repaired by technicians and remains unknown."

After hearing Father Su An’s analysis, Lin Feng’s heart sank.

The Temple Knight Corps, that even Bai Ye, the Salvation Army’s leader at Tier Two Peak, couldn’t contend with, evidently had enemies far stronger than themselves.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to destroy a powerful team equivalent to several top second-tier influences so effortlessly.

This is not good news for Lin Feng, who is about to leave Oasis Town and head for the Holy City.

But Lin Feng quickly calmed down.

The purpose of the other’s actions is clearly to prevent the Temple Knight Corps from reaching Oasis Town to support the Oasis Church here and suppress the rebellion from the Li Family.

If that’s the case, the identity of the enemy can be inferred.

They must be the ones behind the scenes, instigating local families like the Li Family to start a rebellion in the Oasis, the root cause of all chaos, the large first-tier influence in the Holy City, the Life Farm.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately spoke:

"Though these people were able to severely damage the Temple Knights, it was obviously by relying on a preemptive ambush, catching the Knight Corps off guard. If they actually squared off, they might not be able to directly defeat the Temple Knights."

"Moreover, daring to ambush and attack a Knight Corps within the Holy See’s sphere of control, even without a Tier Three King’s involvement, must surely have backing from other first-tier influences..."

"No, ordinary first-tier influences wouldn’t have this courage, it must at least be a large influence."

"And by defeating the Temple Knights, the result is that Oasis Town doesn’t receive timely support from the Holy City, excluding my unexpected rise, and the Desert Wolf Race’s sudden attack..."
