Chapter 603: City of Martyrdom (7)
Randall, who returned to the catacombs, found all the members of the team, and said, "The time for the operation has been determined, and it will be the night after tomorrow." β
Bourwer happily stamped the cow's hooves: "Great! I can finally leave this hellish place!"
Kellogg spat out snake letters and asked Randall, "How did we get into prison?"
"Bishop AarrΓΆ will send Father Pedro to follow us, and he will help us get into prison. β
The lizardman rolled his eyes and asked in a skeptical tone, "Don't blame me for being suspicious, can you really trust the people of the church?"
Karin, who was standing beside Randall, suddenly spoke, "I don't like the church as much as I am, but from what I've observed, Bishop AarrΓΆl is a man he can trust. β
Kellogg shrugged, a 'you have the final say' expression on his face.
Carroll asked expressionlessly, "Is there a need for combat during the operation?"
Karin explained, "We follow the underground tunnels into the Sanctuary Square, and then through the Holy Corridor into the Inquisition. During this journey, the Bishop of Abrilla made all arrangements so that we could avoid all fighting. β
Carroll asked, "What about after that?"
"The prison defenders are all die-hard loyalists of the main battle faction of the church, and there is no other way to do it than to storm it, which is why we need a strong squad to carry out this mission. β
"Troop strength?"
"Two squadrons of church knights, a whole regiment of holy priests. β
"Where is the rescue target?"
"Located in the southwest area of the third floor of the prison, I have a map ready, and I will give it to you later. β
Carroll crossed her arms around her chest: "I don't have a problem. β
Aldenan shouted in a hurry: "Wait, wait, wait! The biggest problem is how do we retreat?!"
Karin glanced at the werewolf: "Early the morning after tomorrow, the expeditionary force led by Lord Cumberland will arrive in Taylor City, and the enemy will focus all their attention on defending the city. β
"Late the night after tomorrow, before we act, Bishop Abrold will work with the Xenogeneous Society to find a way to open the west gate of Taylor City. If the gates are opened, then we just need to wait for the expeditionary force to enter the city and then calmly leave. β
Aldnan asked, "What if we save people and the gates are not opened?"
"As we planned at the beginning, either we'll hide in a safe house inside the city and wait for the war to end, or if the situation in the city is critical, call the Valkyrie team and take you out of the city. β
Carol said angrily to Aldenan, "How is it?
Aldenan rolled his eyes and said no more.
Barbara, who had not spoken from beginning to end, was pale and had fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
She suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm going to get some air." β
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Barbara sped out of the room.
Carol tried to stand up, but hesitated, but sat down anyway.
Karin tossed the map in her arms onto the table and said, "You go ahead and make plans, I'll go see her." β
Randall looked in the direction Barbara was leaving and said worriedly, "Do you want me to ......?"
Karin walked out of the room without looking back: "You don't understand women's affairs. β
After searching the underground corridor for a long time, Karin finally found Barbara hiding in a corner in an underground vent.
The latter sat on his knees, his hands on the wall, retching incessantly.
"Why didn't you tell him?" Karin folded her arms over her chest, leaning against the wall, with a calm expression: "He has the right to know everything." β
Barbara wiped her lips and sat down on the floor, "It's not a good time. β
Karin shrugged noncommittally.
"He has more important things to do, and I don't want to bother him at this time. Barbara pressed her right hand on her lower abdomen, lowered her head and said, "For that man, loyalty to the kingdom and His Majesty has always been put first. β
Karin pressed the back of her head against the wall, looked up at the ceiling, and whispered, "It's not fair to you. β
Barbara put her hands on the ground, struggling to her feet.
Karin walked over and pulled her and helped her sit down on a stone pier.
Barbara let out a long breath, looked at Karin and said softly, "Feelings are never fair. β
Karin's hands stopped in mid-air, and the whole person froze there.
"In the face of love, women are always weak, and we hope to get more love from our lovers, but we are afraid of attracting disgust and going farther and farther. β
Barbara said calmly, "Men are different, they always have something far more important than family. β
Loneliness and sadness appeared in Karin's expression, and she slowly sat down beside Barbara, not saying a word.
Barbara stroked the hair next to her pointed ears and laughed self-deprecatingly: "However, what men don't know is that the most important thing in a woman's life is only him." β
After saying this, Barbara stood up against the wall: "Go back, we shouldn't be out for too long." β
Karin looked at Barbara's back and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Have you ever regretted it?"
Barbara turned around with a bright smile on her face: "Regret? Why should I regret it? He made my life more complete and meaningful." β
City of Taylor, Temporary Morgue No. 6.
Countless black parasites crawled out of their throat bones, wriggling and twisting on the floor, like flesh-thirsty devils, searching for sacrifices.
The laryngeal bone raised his right hand and pointed forward, and the black parasites swarmed and crawled, engulfing dozens of corpses in the center of the room in an instant.
With a clattering and biting sound, dozens of corpses suddenly turned into bloody walking corpses, and every part of their bodies was filled with dense black parasites, which were constantly growing, dividing, and multiplying.
A pale blue halo appeared on the corpse-like shell of the throat bone, but it quickly disappeared.
"What a great power!" Laryngeal put his hands in front of his eyes, looked at the wisps of pale blue light, tumbling and jumping on his fingertips, and flashed a little ghost in his eyes, and said in a loud and cheerful voice, "This feeling is amazing!"
Standing on the sidelines, stunned, Myris asked, "What do you see?"
"The world is no longer the world, matter is no longer matter, I can see the origin of all thingsβa pale blue ......particle that floats in the air," the larynx said to himself, "Is this the soul?"
"Tyrant Soul Worm...... I mean, the Undertaker's experiment was successful?" Turning to the dozens of reactive walking corpses in the center of the room, Myris frowned and asked, "What's going on with them?"
"I could feel their souls entering my body, but their flesh was controlled by the Martyrs, crying and wailing for the flesh of the creatures......"
A walking corpse turned its head in the direction of the staircase, smelling the smell of life on the ground, and rushed with all its strength towards the exit.
The laryngeal bone stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, and the running corpse was suddenly stunned and fell to the ground.
"Don't be in such a hurry, my little cuties, it's not your time to appear......" Inside the throat bone's body, thousands of funerary parasites were entrenched, greedily sucking at the pale blue halo on his body.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he whispered, "You will soon have many new friends, many, many ......"
