Above the Holy City, the soldiers panicked, and they had to report the situation to the command post. The command post www.biquge.info the Pavilion, which had been temporarily converted from a room by the window of the watchtower, sat in a makeshift chair with pretended composure, and all orders and messages were passed on by the heralds around him. Behind Palmer sat several priests, bishops, and nobles, all of whom had come to watch. Now the interior of the Holy City has been isolated. Civilians and unrelated people were far away from the walls, and only soldiers were stationed here. The nobles couldn't go back, and there was no one to escort them, so they had to follow Palmer.

"My lord, those demons are going to climb the wall! we may not be able to stop ......"

"If you can't stop it, you have to block it!"

"Shall we retreat and hold the inner city......" one of the priests beside Palmer asked in a whisper. He was dressed in a snow-white sacrificial robe, with a bald head, and he was frowning at Palmer.

The inner city was a wall separating the aristocratic district, the ecclesiastical quarter, and the plebeian quarter, and it was a symbol of the separation of powers, and had no major strategic function. To retreat here meant abandoning the commoners, protecting only the nobles and the church. But in fact, if even the bluestone walls and watchtowers newly built by Master Cook can't keep the demons at bay, the earthen walls of the inner city are useless at all. The reason why this sacrifice said this was actually a hint that Palmer would run away. He didn't dare to say it directly in front of people, so he suggested it euphemistically.

Palmer wasn't stupid, he could hear the off-strings. If you retreat to the inner city, the next natural step is to abandon the city and flee. He stood up and paced anxiously. If it is safe, it is most appropriate to escape. These nobles and priests had several small farms in the southern hinterland, and they fled there to still be the emperor. But Palmer didn't want to run away. If he wanted to leave the Holy City, he would have left long ago, and Alik's deal with the Archbishop was to keep him away from the Holy City. For the first time, though, Palmer was in power for the first time, and he was deeply infatuated with the feeling. It's a critical moment, but it's also the highest point in Palmer's life.

"Can't retreat......" Palmer hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, "We can't retreat." Believe in this watchtower, we can keep it. The Holy City has faced crises several times in its history, but in the end it has persevered. It's all because of the mercy of the twin goddesses, and we are protected. If you defeat this enemy, all of you here will go down in history. ”

The priest shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, although he was a clergyman, but because of this, he did not believe in the protection of the twin goddesses. This kind of nonsense can only deceive ignorant believers and crazy people with bad brains. The priest classifies Palmer to the latter, then smirks mockingly. The priest did not just ask Palmer out of his own will, he represented a large part of the church and the nobility to test Palmer's attitude. Finding that Palmer was so persistent, these nobles also had their own little abacus. They plan to find an opportunity to break away from Palmer and secretly flee the Holy City. Palmer was anxious and angry when he saw the small movements of these people, but he couldn't say it directly. At this point, the herald on standby did not understand the situation and began to ask Palmer for his next step.

"Fool, pour water on the walls! pour water! you won't be able to climb up!" Palmer roared.

"But now we don't have water ......"

"Then you don't hurry up and prepare!"

Palmer kicked and punched his soldiers, venting his frustration. The people around them were silent, watching coldly. In previous siege battles, enemy soldiers came up by siege trucks or engineering ladders. At this time, rolling stones are much better than splashing water. The soldiers who actually climbed the walls were only something in the legends, so no one was prepared for that. As Palmer walked around the room in armor that was more symbolic than functional, he heard another exclamation from among the soldiers.

"You, go see what's going on?"

Palmer grabbed the soldier next to him and motioned for him to go to the window. Palmer didn't get up, sticking his head out the window. The soldier trembled to the window, his eyes widening.

"My lord! The demons have stepped down from the walls, and someone is in front of them. ”

"What!"

Palmer couldn't help but rush to the window and look out, the demons did push down, but they were still entrenched in the corners of the holy city's walls. The demons formed a semicircle, and in the middle of the circle stood two tall figures. The two confronted each other, and there was no movement for a while. Looking at the two men's blonde hair and the big sword in their hands, Palmer suddenly recognized them.

"It's Hertie and ......"

Palmer didn't remember Sulfona's name at all, he only remembered that Sulfur was Hetty's descendant. Either way, Parmer thinks that Hetty is an expert at dealing with demons, so Sulfona isn't much worse. As long as there are such two people, the holy city must be preserved. Palmer breathed a deep sigh of relief, and he wanted to turn around and give a triumphant speech to the soldiers behind him, and he wanted to look into their excited eyes. At this time, the two sides under the walls also clashed fiercely. Palmer's eyes widened as he noticed that Hetty and Sulfona had quickly been submerged in the demons and disappeared.

Sulfona and Hetty felt the mutation before Alik did. The warrior's keen sense of hearing caught the sirens coming from inside the watchtower. Hetty put away the big sword in his hand, and his face changed slightly. This is a new feature that Master Cook has added to the watchtower after the first Demon Escape. If a fighter breaks out of the cage, then the entire watchtower will sound an alarm. Sulfona also faintly heard the howl of the demon.

"Someone has released the demon...... Those demons who are really dangerous. Hetty said chagrined, "I should have known it a long time ago, and I should have known it when I met Brewster." There is a conspiracy in this, someone is inducing him, and even manipulating your and my behavior. Maybe our fight is part of the conspiracy. ”

"I ...... too"

Sulfona nodded. Her face was not good, and her steps were a little vain. Originally, her body had suffered a lot of damage, and this time she forcibly launched the "Demon Power Still" again, which made it even more injured. And Hetty also looked tired, and the demonic power sealed by Sulfur could not be mobilized smoothly until now. The current NO.2 can only exert a single-digit combat effectiveness.

By the time the demon's team began to storm the Holy City, the two Great Swords had already reached a brief alliance agreement. Heti would never allow the demons to destroy the Church of the Twins in the Holy City, and Sulfona didn't want to cause too much conflict and casualties between the demons and humans. In this way, the demons who climbed the city wall were driven down by both of them. Hetty's approach was more direct, she beat the demon down like a snail. Sulfona chose to use the sharp sword in her hand to dig down the bluestone that the demon was clinging to, so that the demon naturally fell.

Helloois looked at Sulfona's figure, and there was a panic in her heart. The last time they met, the relationship between the two was already very strained. Helois panicked when she thought of Sulfona's torture of the demons. Although she let it go last time, who can guarantee what she will do now? she is not afraid of sulfona, nor is she afraid of death. If she was afraid, she could have listened to Sulfona's words and no longer appeared in Sulfona's eyes. Helois was only worried that Sulfona would kill Alik indiscriminately, after all, Alik was no longer human. But Sulfona just shaved off the bluestone that Alik was clinging to, and walked away. Herois froze, thinking back to the last look in her eyes. It contains apologies, a hint of regret, and a hint of envy.

"Helois, why did we fall?" Alik fell, but most of his body was demonized, so he wasn't hurt.

"Yes...... Someone is holding us back. Helois was woken up from his stunned state, and she replied with the right wording, "The other prisoners who resisted have also fallen. ”

"Who is it? Who is holding us back?"

"Yes...... It was the jailer who held these prisoners. Glancing at Hetty, who was confronting the demons, Helois said, "That jailer is very vicious, and she has been torturing those prisoners. Now the prisoners are furious when they see her. ”

"I see. Alik nodded and said, "For these people, this is the point of revenge. It was these jailers who tortured them, so they should have troubled them first. But we have nothing to do with the jailers, and we should join them as well. There is a debtor and a debtor, and we should go directly to Palmer. It makes sense. ”

"Okay. ”

Herois nodded, she didn't want to be an enemy of Hetty or Sulfona. Having fought with Greatsword herself, she understands how extraordinary Greatsword's combat power is. Although there are many fighters here, they may still not be able to defeat the greatsword. Alik carried Helois to the city wall, and Alik was ready to climb the bluestone up the wall as he had done before. Only this time Alik got out of his hand when he climbed the six bluestones and fell to the ground. Alik tried a few times, but failed.

"Alex, there's water on this wall. ”

"There's water?"

Alik was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand from the bluestone, put it in front of his face and sniffed it. It's just that demonizing robbed Alik of his sense of smell as a normal human, and he didn't smell anything. Herois looked closely at Alik's paws.

"Alex, there's water on it, it's oily, it's slippery. ”

"I see. ”

Alik frowned, he didn't expect to be hindered here. Smooth and damp walls cannot be climbed, and if you can't climb the walls, you won't be able to reach Palmer for the rest of your life, and you can't continue your quest for revenge without seeing Palmer. Alec felt a little anxious, and he instinctively sensed that his time was running out. There seemed to be a wound on his back, and a burning pain was spreading. It was like a poison ivy parasitic in the body, constantly burrowing into the old knight's flesh, and even devouring his spirit. Alec didn't know how long he would be awake, he didn't have time.

Suddenly, Alik felt someone next to him tap him on the shoulder.

Alik ...... He says he wants to help you. ”

"Help me?"

Before Alik could figure out the situation, he felt a sense of weightlessness envelop his body. The slinger's insect-like face was expressionless, and he raised his alienated arm to grab Alik and Helois. The next moment, Alik and Helois took to the skies. Humans would not be able to withstand the exorbitant acceleration, but Alik and Helois are combatants, and they both have exoskeletons on their bodies for protection. The weight of the two demons was no heavier than a rolling stone for the slinger, and after watching the two of them fly up the wall, he refocused his gaze on Hetty. The combatants lived in darkness all day long, and they didn't know what their captives looked like, but they remembered the smell. As soon as Hetty appeared, he attracted the attention of all the demons.

"I see, do you all resent me?" Hetty muttered, nodding to himself, "Did I do something wrong?"

Hetty was echoed by the demon's sharp claws and fangs. The first to attack is the Raider at the front, who has the most balanced body structure and innate fighting instincts. They bared their teeth and claws, and a terrifying roar emanated from their black throats. When Hetty saw this ferocious blow, he did not feel fear, but secretly applauded. She took a few steps and lifted the robe she was wearing completely, revealing the tight-fitting uniform that belonged to the warrior inside. For Hetty, the battle with Sulfur had been a saint of the Church, but now she preferred to think of herself as a blonde demon hunter. Hetty's greatsword collided with the demon's claws, and the greatsword let out a cry of joy. It was used again for its original purpose, and Greatsword himself felt extremely excited.

The Raider's first shot is blocked, but it fires a finger gun again. The demons behind it also swarmed up. Hetty stabbed the two demons with his broadsword, then kicked one of the diggers away. Hettie gasped involuntarily, the demon in her body was sealed by Sulfona, and now she could summon less than fifty percent of the power. Now Hetty is gradually feeling struggling in the face of these demons. The diggers that emerged from the ground burrowed into the dirt again, waiting for their next chance to attack.

The Digger is a support unit among the Demon Fighters, often stealing by digging tunnels underground and assassinating enemies. This is a combat variant that Master Cook has adapted from the prospector among the producers. They had tried to dig holes in the walls of the Holy City, but they couldn't dig through the bluestone. Now these unscrupulous assassins emerge from under Hetty's feet and then spit out deadly fangs. Hetty roared, her eyes turning golden, freeing almost half of her demonic power. In an instant, the demons surrounding Herty were all forced back several steps. The diggers lurking at Hetty's feet bore the brunt of the blow, dizzy. Hetty unrelentlessly swung her sword downward, she had to eliminate these dastardly assassins, and Hetty didn't want to constantly watch out for daggers from behind.

However, Hetty's greatsword was blocked by another greatsword.

"You can't kill these demons. Sulfona fell to her knees, her face pale, and it was not easy for her to bear Hetty's angry blow, but she stood up anyway, "Now, they are also the ones I protect. ”

"You also cut down your object from the walls just now. Hetty shrugged her shoulders and said.

"That's when they're going to attack humans. Between humans and demons, demons are the strong and humans are the weak. So I have to protect humanity. But if it were to face you, everything would be turned upside down. So I'm going to protect the demons. ”

"That's why you're unwilling to unlock the seal of demonic power that restricts me?" Hetty said with a wry smile, "I'm not that strong now, what if I'm killed by these demons?" ”

"Then I will fight with you, but you can't kill these demons, you can only force them back. ”

Sulfona withdrew her sword from Hetty's greatsword and stood by Hetty's side. Hetty's expression was wonderful.

"You want to protect everyone, and you don't want anyone to die on the battlefield, it's indescribable. It's the first time I've seen someone like you. ”

"Hopefully this isn't the last time you'll see it. ”
