Divine Barrier.
Fang Hong saw this scene and made his Clockwork Fairy stop mid-air. This person was also a Paladin of Marlan, and he had just realized that these people must be residents of a nearby village.
And the older knight must be the local Chief Protector, a position generally held concurrently by the Holy Temple Knights of Marlan.
As protectors, brave guardians, and executors of justice, Lady Marlan commanded the second-most number of temples after Roman because her temples often stood in the remotest settlements where human civilization spread its fire; such were the bounds of her sword-plowed territories.
She swore to protect, so her followers, besides Ranger Knights like Mr. Reed who pursued freedom, were mostly protectors.
Like their goddess, these knights took serious oaths to practice with the sword and protected a place throughout their lives.
Just like the older knight before them.
Fang Hong couldn't help but feel deep respect.
