Chapter 1002: The Last Battle of the Indomitable City (13)

Standing in a large hall in the palace, Viren saw through the window that the sun was gradually sinking in the west. Darkness has gradually begun to fall over the city again.

"I don't know if we'll be able to see the sun the next day. Viren sighed to himself and turned his gaze back to the palaces behind him and beside him. These four or five palaces were the last places where the guardians of Hagia Sophie were stationed. Beyond these who were still resisting, Viren didn't know if there were any other survivors who were desperately resisting the apostles' attacks like them, or if McGregory and his companions were safe now. Until now, I haven't seen the white pillar of light of the exclusive teleportation array light up, which makes Viren not have some worries. But Viren knew that as long as he held on a little longer, then Qi Tianci would definitely be able to get out of here smoothly.

As for whether anyone was searching, Viren didn't know now, but he also expected that the apostles wouldn't just focus on attacking here. Otherwise, the tide of apostles would have flooded the palace. But until now, there has been little movement, except for a few minor attacks by the apostles. Veren didn't have to guess to know that the apostles had more important things to solve than they had at the moment.

Viren thought about it, and suddenly there was a shouting and killing sound from the palace next to him, and the sound of swords and soldiers fighting each other became more and more obvious. When they came, Viren whispered, keeping a close eye on the situation in the palace.

As to why the few hundred remaining people were scattered among the few neighboring palaces instead of being grouped together, Viren had his own troubles. Although there are only a few hundred people, the largest palace in this palace can only accommodate about two or three hundred people at most, and the small ones can only accommodate a few people. Viren hurried to check around, but still couldn't find a palace big enough to accommodate all of them, so he had no choice but to choose a few adjacent halls for everyone to disperse. And more importantly, after using all his might to teleport these guards to the palace, he now has no extra magical powers.

But the downside of this was immediately apparent: when one of the palaces was attacked, the guards of the other palaces were powerless to rush to their aid. After all, under the double disadvantage of quality and quantity, any rash attack is undoubtedly self-defeating, and although the result of guarding your palace is not much better, you can always kill a few more apostles with the help of your knowledge of this place. Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. It was a half-joking statement by a wounded Beast Slayer soldier, which was one of the tenets of the Lohan Empire after all, but at this time it became a common goal for all the remaining guards.

The shouts of killing continued, faintly, and Viren could see a faint glimmer of fire burning. There was some sadness in my heart, it must be that the apostles felt that this place was really difficult to take and used fire to attack. The palace, which was almost entirely made of wood, became an excellent accomplice of the apostles in an instant in the face of the fire.

The resistance in one place had not yet subsided, and another palace was attacked. However, fortunately, Wei Lun scattered all the soldiers of the Beast Slayer Army to other palaces, and only the relatively weak civilians were left in his own palace. The current Viren didn't want to discourage the guards because of any mistakes, and he used his actions to tell everyone that Viren had no selfish intentions in the face of resisting this group of powerful apostles.

Soon, all the palaces were in flames. Several sturdy gates slammed the palace door open, and behind it were hundreds of equally hideous-looking companions.

"Kill!" Viren let out an earth-shattering roar, taking a longbow and a quiver full of arrows from the soldiers beside him. As the bow and arrow left the string, one of the apostles who bore the brunt of the attack was suddenly nailed to the shoulder. But the apostle was only slightly wounded, and he disdainfully drew the bow and arrow from his shoulder, and threw it defiantly at Viren.

Faced with a scene that was extremely familiar to Viren, Viren did not choose to dodge anymore, but coldly watched this sharp arrow getting closer and closer to him. Finally, when the sharp arrow was only a few meters away from him, Viren shot two bows and arrows with lightning speed, the first of which struck the incoming arrow in half from the arrow. Although this arrow also fell due to the loss of strength, the other arrow struck directly at the apostle who was still provoking Viren with the power of thunder and lightning mixed with a deafening scream. Before he could react, the apostle's eye was pierced by the arrow and he fell to the ground.

As an archer, and having used three arrows before, Viren is naturally very good at this bow and arrow skill. If it weren't for the huge consumption of his physical strength and magic ability due to the long hours of fighting, then Viren would still be able to easily use his stunt at this moment.

However, the death of one apostle did not affect any of the other apostles, and after pushing the body away, more apostles entered the temple through the gate and fought with the guards.

Luckily, however, the palace is much smaller than the vast expanse outside, unlike the open outdoors. And in this small space, it is reminded that the huge apostles and beast slayer armies cannot be fully utilized, but humans can be at home in these palaces, and even civilians with the most rudimentary agricultural tools can evade the attacks of the apostles with their dexterous bodies. The apostles' weapons often had to cut through countless obstacles before they could fall on the target, but by that time, the humans had already avoided it.

Unexpectedly, the weakest human soldier exerted the most powerful power in his life with the advantages provided by the environment. Whether it was the palace where Viren was or the other palaces that were still holding on, the most killed apostles were these humans who usually had difficulty gaining an advantage in the battle with the apostles. The surviving Guards, in particular, even organized to drive the apostles out of the palace.

"See no, see no!" Viren was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he shouted at the apostles with his bow and arrows, "You think we are vulnerable, but we tell you with the truth that even if we fight to the last man, we will never give in to you!"
