Beneath the Holy City, Alik suddenly stopped. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Helois, who was standing beside him, looked at him strangely.

"What's wrong, Alex?"

Helois has now taken on the form of it, a monstrous demon with golden elytra. But Alik, who had lost his eyes, didn't notice this, and he thought that he was next to the little girl with short flaxen hair. Alik paused for a moment with his ears sideways, and he faintly heard a mournful siren echoing.

"I heard something, Herois. Alik pointed to the watchtower on the side and said, "Can you tell me what's going on over there?"

Arrows rained down on the two demons, and Helois spread her elytra in front of Alik. The massive force of the arrow's impact sent Herois back and forth, and it had to stick its claws deep into the ground to stay still. Helois struggled to stick her head out and look to the side. Alik is right, there is indeed something going on.

"I don't know why, a big hole was punched in the wall. Helois's voice trembled a little from its surprise, and it stared at the sudden surge of fangs and claws, "There are many...... There are a lot of ...... Person. A lot of people ran out of there, some were running towards the outside of the holy city, and some were still in place. The soldiers on the walls were so panicked that they even forgot to keep shooting arrows below. Everyone was panicking. ”

"Who are they?"

"It should be, it should be prisoners and slaves. The slaves who are imprisoned in the watchtower are just like the people you met before. ”

"Needless to say, I see. Alik frowned and nodded, his joints clicking like metal, "It must be the poor people who have been oppressed by Palmer, they have done nothing wrong, but they have angered the nobles." Otherwise, the prisons in the Holy City will contain them. Palmer went so far as to lynch these civilians indiscriminately. ”

"Perhaps...... Maybe that's it. ”

Herois said with a wry smile. In a way, Hylois didn't say anything against his will. These demons were the companions who had suffered with her before. Ever since they were made by Cook, they have been suffering like hell. These demons have not killed anyone, nor have they done anything bad. It was as if they had come to this world to be tortured. It's not the demons who are at fault, they're innocent.

"Helois, where are they now? I want to talk to them, can I face them?"

“……”

Hylois froze in embarrassment. She didn't expect Alik to sit down with such a decision. Helois recalls when she was first released from prison, when she was only thinking about eating all of humanity. A demon in a state of rage because of extreme hunger has no reason to speak of, and Helois herself knows this best. But before she could react, Alik was already shouting loudly into the sky.

"Fellows, do you also want revenge on those who stand on the wall? Do you also suffer torture and insults, and are you often in unspeakable remorse?

Hearing Alik's words, the fighters who had escaped from the dungeon stopped. The demons who were terrified of the dungeon and fled beyond the Holy City slowed down. In their eyes, the armored warriors parasitized by the archetypes looked extremely strange. Alik listened sideways, then continued.

"Now that you have been freed, what do you decide to do, do you run away, or do you choose to rebel and take revenge?" Alik said in a loud voice, "You have the right to choose. If you still have people to care about, you should naturally cherish your own lives. But if some of you have no support, some of you have nowhere to vent their anger in their hearts, and some of you will burn until the last moment even if they die. Then please follow me!"

When Alik finished speaking, there was silence.

"Helois, what's the reaction of these people?"

"They'......," Helois said hesitantly, "they're just looking at you." ”

"I think it's because they're suspicious of me. They need to see our courage. ”

Alik picked Helois up. Instinctively, Helois struggled, she didn't want Alik to realize she was a monster. However, Alik's size after being parasitized is even larger than that of Herois. Alik's hand was completely glued to the outer hand armor, and he lost touch and could not detect Helois's abnormality. Alik carried Helois behind him and rushed towards the Holy City. The soldiers on the walls finally reacted, and they continued to fire arrows at Alik. Helois hurriedly stretched out her elytra to block the arrow.

"Is anyone coming?" asked Alex.

"Yes, some people are running, some are watching, but a lot of people are rushing. ”

"Good. ”

Palmer, who was standing on the city wall, felt bad. He felt that his plan was perfect, unleashing a few demons with no combat power, and then mixing his enemies into them to destroy them in the name of righteousness. In this way, the enemy can be eliminated without knowing it, and the support of the people can be gained. Palmer's father was already an old archbishop, and it took a chance for Palmer to inherit the throne. Opportunities are always created, so Palmer created such an opportunity for himself – but for some reason it didn't go well from the start.

Alik is indeed among the demons, but I don't know why one of the fighters has also mixed in with the producers. The defenders of this fighter were so strong that the soldier's bow did not kill Alik in the first place. And the stupid knight still had a certain will, and he threw his broken axe into the wall, almost hitting Palmer. Palmer hurriedly sent someone to destroy the axe, he couldn't let people see that the demon was using a human weapon. Fortunately, Alex's attack terrified everyone around him, and even the priests in the church who had always looked down on Palmer asked him what to do next. While Palmer was enjoying the thrill of being in charge of everything and being revered, a large group of fighters suddenly rushed towards the Holy City.

"What the hell is going on?" Palmer grabbed the attendant beside him, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Didn't I say that I would release the producers who hadn't been dispatched yet, and why did so many fighters come out too?"

"My lord, I don't know. At this amount, the cages that might have held the combatants opened. Like last time......"

Hearing this, Palmer's face turned white at once. He knew very well how strong the fighters were. If he were to defeat all the fighters, he would probably lose half of his soldiers. And after the fact, we need to figure out why these demons escaped from the watchtower.

"Where's the Holy Maiden, hurry up and find the Holy Maiden! I haven't seen her all day today, and it's such an important day. Palmer yelled, "What about Master Cook, this is his masterpiece, why didn't he come?"

"The Holy Maiden is always elusive, and we can't find it. The squire bowed his head and said, "Master Cook said he has an important study in the testing phase, so he can't be disturbed. You know, he's never had an interest in this kind of ritual......"

"Rubbish!"

Palmer kicked the squire away, and he suddenly realized that he was the only one here who knew the best about the situation. Without Herty and Cook, Palmer must take control of the situation. A few minutes ago, Palmer had been thinking about how he could get his hands on the power as quickly as possible, but now he began to feel that the responsibility was too heavy. Palmer was not stupid, he had a good education as a nobleman. Aside from the problems of his private life, he did a good job in other areas. This is also the reason why the archbishop did not hesitate to depose Alik, but also to keep Palmer, and constantly gave him opportunities. But Palmer's brain was all spent fighting for power, and the demon in front of him made him confused for a while.

"Your Excellency, ......?"

The squire, who had been kicked to the side, looked cautiously, still waiting for Palmer to give the order.

"You...... You go and get the captain of the guard. I need to know how to deal with the siege before. Palmer said, shouting to the soldiers around him, "Don't think these things are demons, they are enemies of other nations." Whatever they are, if they shoot as a hedgehog, they will surely die. Don't stop your movements. Grease the arrows and light the fire, I don't believe these things don't die!"

Palmer's order was quickly relayed, and Herois soon saw the bow and arrow with the fiery serpent. She couldn't help but exclaim.

"What's wrong, Herois. Alik hurriedly asked, "Are you hurt?"

"......No," Helois said, shaking her head, "I'm not hurt, but I do...... Person...... Hurt. The arrows fired by those soldiers were filled with fire, and those who were hit by the arrows were in pain. He tried to pull the arrow out, but it was too hot. His wounds were charred and blackened, and arrows could not be pulled out. The man who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground and could not walk, and he was hit by more arrows......"

"But again, don't look any further......"

Alik couldn't bear to let Helois watch such a brutal scene again. He could imagine what the Arrow Victim was going through, and Alex's resentment towards Palmer intensified. Even in the midst of war, it is inhumane to use such cruel weapons against people. Alik had no way to help the injured, and he didn't have the skills. Maybe he'll be the next one to be shot. But Alik still wanted to pray for the wounded.

"Helois, take out the pamphlet with the prayer on my chest, my hands are broken. ”

Herois looked at her paws, a little worried. Finally she gritted her teeth and put her hand on Alik's chest, looking deeper into his armor. Fortunately, Alik's body had merged with the armor, and he couldn't feel Herois's claws at all. Helois found the small booklet, the text in the booklet looked a little obscure, but fortunately Helois could read it.

"I've got it, Alex. ”

"Okay, please read it out. I can't see it, so you can only read it. ”

Helois smiled wryly as she looked at the prayer in her hand about the twin goddesses. She is not religious, and the religious priests and archbishops also hate demons. But Hellois couldn't refuse Alik's request.

"We have been driven out of Paradise to this cursed hell to suffer so much that we will not be spared even by repentance and pleading, and the fire that afflicts us has never been quenched, and we are already in hell anyway, and what destruction are we afraid of? If there is even greater destruction, it is only death. In this way, what is there to fear after death? There is nothing to hesitate to burn the anger all in, let the anger reach the extreme, let us all disappear, and the essence will not be lost, and it will not be far more pleasant than to live by stealing! If our essence is truly divine, then we will never cease to live without defect......

Helois stammered, at first she felt the text incomprehensible, but then she felt an indescribable power in it. Alik carried Helois behind his back and charged forward as he listened. The captain of the guard on the city wall came, a veteran of several battles more than a decade ago. At his suggestion, Palmer ordered the soldiers to push stones and logs off the high walls. Alik was dizzy from the rocks, and a few flames exploded around him, as if he had entered the legendary hell. Just then, Alik heard a low roar.

Alik hesitated for a moment before he realized that someone was reading to Helois. It was the poor man behind him, who was charging towards death with him. They finally chose not to be silent anymore, they were roaring. All of a sudden, where the prayer can be reached, there is no more fear. The demons were overwhelmed by the power contained in the words, and they felt that their spirits had some kind of support and sustenance. Alik smiled dryly, knowing that these people finally believed in him, and these people would burn to ashes with him.

When demons also have faith, they will be unstoppable. The attackers in Alex's ranks rushed to the front, the monstrous monsters with hard armor on the front, but unprotected on the sides and behind. The attacker does not retreat, and even if he is injured, the wound will only fall on the chest. If these raiders are allowed to get close to humans, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. The soldiers felt the pressure, so they aimed their ballistas at the attackers, so that the fighters behind them were not stressed.

At this time, it was the slinger who began to show his power. Grabbing stones, logs, and even flaming crossbow arrows, they grabbed the rocks, logs, and even flaming crossbow arrows and threw them at the walls of the Holy City. As a slinger who has been specialized as an engineering unit by Master Cook, they deal extra damage to buildings. The thrown stones and crossbow arrows, with the wrath of the demons, constantly bombarded the soldiers on the watchtower. These stones are different from the axes thrown by the old knights, and if they hit, they will take more than a dozen lives. The soldiers felt fearful, and they continued to fire their crossbow arrows as Palmer had ordered. However, the frequency of crossbow bolts decreased significantly, and the demons were able to rush under the holy city.

"Alex, this is it, Palmer is on it. ”

When the old knight heard this, he reached forward and touched the bluestone at the foot of the Holy City. Although he didn't feel any touch, he nodded in satisfaction. At this angle, it would be difficult for the crossbow arrows to reach Alik, and the demons were ready to climb directly to the Holy City from here. Alik's arms strained slightly, and the claws of his armor were embedded deep in the cracks of the bluestone. The old knight shook his body up and down, and then climbed up in one go. Helois lay on Alex's back to give him directions, and Alex climbed eight bluestones in one go.

Alik, no matter how stupid he is, realizes his anomaly. Countless arrows on his body that don't die, even though he was crippled by Palmer but still able to move, his body that has no touch and is hard enough to insert into the cracks of the bluestone - these have gradually escaped the realm of human beings. But Alik chose to forget about it, he had more important things to do. The old knight smiled at Helois behind him.

"I couldn't climb that high when I was twenty years old, and I don't think I'm old. ”

"Well, you're not old at all, Alex. ”
