Alik felt a deafening noise erupt around him, and he froze, only to realize after a while that it was the voice of the people around him. He didn't know where he was www.biquge.info but he felt as if he had arrived in the gladiatorial arena of the barbaric age. The well-dressed man waited to see him prostrate on the ground, but Alik bared his fangs at the audience.

"Helois, did I hit?"

"You ......," Helois seemed to be looking on tiptoe, "as if hit, I can't see Palmer, he seems to have fallen to the ground." No, he stood up again. Your axe just grazed his cheek. He seems to be angry, he is ordering the soldiers to shoot arrows at you. ”

"Didn't you hit......"

Palmer nodded, and it was understandable that it was far from missing. It's better that Alik didn't expect that he would be able to throw an axe at the walls of the Holy City and be able to hit people. When he was younger, he couldn't have done that. Alik sensed something was wrong, but he didn't look deeper. This sudden appearance of divine power is always a good thing. He was about to smile at Herois when he suddenly felt his body being pulled backwards with a strong force.

Alik heard Helois screaming, but he didn't feel the pain. Alik ran his hand over his body, and finally found an arrow deeply embedded in his left shoulder. Alek snapped the shaft of the arrow to prevent it from continuing to pierce it. The arrow was so thick that Alik recognized it as larger than the largest caliber crossbow. If he usually eats such an arrow, he will lie on his stomach for a month if he does not die. But now Alik still feels that he can fight.

The arrows that shot into Alik's body were nothing more than the clouds before the rainstorm began, and more arrows flew like locusts. Alik sensed something was wrong, and he stood up and used his body to block Herois behind him. If the girl was hit by an arrow, she might not be far from death. The prisoners walking around Alik were also shot, and they let out a low roar. The prisoners pounded the ground and marched angrily against the rain of arrows. Alec felt that he had partner, and those who were just as dissatisfied with the nobility as him were united and began to fight.

Alik thought so, but in the eyes of others, it was a different story. I saw a group of half-crawling monsters shaking their ugly bodies and rushing towards the great holy city. Most of the monsters look like giant pangolins, and they are slow. At the foreground was a monster with an armor-like shell, walking upright and looking hideous. Beside him was a scarab-like monster, only half the height of an armored monster, with bright golden elytra.

It is an exposition of the Holy City and an important ceremony for the inauguration of the watchtower. The soldiers stood on the newly built watchtower, proud of the building around them. This tower will mean that the entire holy city is completely free from the threat of bandits and demons. The children of these soldiers would be proud to know that their father had attended the inauguration of the watchtower. Lord Palmer, who presided over the construction of the watchtower, wore a holy red and white dress, the red symbolizing the suffering of the people, and the white representing the mercy of the twin goddesses. While the Lord was speaking to all the soldiers, to all the people of the Holy City, these uninvited guests came into view.

Although it looks strange, after Lord Palmer's explanation, people understand that these are alienated demons. At the forefront, the armored monsters are the leaders of these demons. They are the ones responsible for the recent destruction of the surrounding villages. These alienated demons have an unusual desire to kill, not only eating people, but also piling mountains of human heads as ornaments. Every time they kill someone, an extra piece of armor appears on these alienated demons. The demon in the front who was tightly wrapped in armor naturally had a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind him. For a time, the people of the holy city were excited. In normal times, people would be afraid of demons. But now the watchtower is still built, and there are only a dozen demons, and they are still crawling under people's hundreds of meters, so naturally no one is afraid. Everyone was shouting to kill these demons.

At this moment, the demon leader who was walking in front suddenly pulled out a black piece from behind him and threw it into the holy city. Lord Palmer was almost shot. Thankfully, the Twin Goddesses had mercy on her, and Master Palmer was unharmed. Now the soldiers with bows and arrows in their hands also became excited, and they could not bear the provocation of these stupid demons. Master Palmer quickly stood up, throwing away his red and white robes, revealing the armor underneath. With Palmer's angry command, the soldiers raised their crossbows. Although a cross bow is called a bow, it is not a bow and arrow. He would call the strings beforehand, then place the arrow into the groove and pull the trigger to fire. The crossbow on the watchtower is a man-high and is fixed to a pedestal. It takes four people to maneuver these giant crossbows, two of them to cap them, one to carry the arrows, and one to adjust the direction. A bow of anger and vengeance pierced the demon's armor. The demons struggled towards the Holy City, but they were beaten by bows and arrows and could not lift their heads.

The armored monster that was at the forefront was beaten the hardest, prostrate on the ground, holding its head and scurrying. The soldier standing closer could also see a large sarcoma wriggling on his back, sticky and disgusting like a slug. The sarcoma seemed to seep out of his armor, and it kept vibrating. The soldiers threw their arrows at the ugly monster in divided parts, believing that the twin goddesses would ensure that the arrows would not miss. Alik, who had been half-parasitized by the "Archetypes", still had some sanity, but the soldiers no longer considered him human. Some of these soldiers had learned martial arts from Alik, some had received help from Alik, and some of the Holy City had been rescued from the demons by Alik. But now they all raised their fists and spat and threw stones at this ugly monster.

The only one who recognized Alik was Brewster. He used the knight's characteristic sense of smell to smell Alex's body, a knight remembering the scent of his companion before going on a mission, so that they could find each other even if they were separated. Alik's body was invaded and transformed by the "archetypes", and he has lost the ability to distinguish Brewster's scent. But what was left of his body was still enough to catch Brewster's attention. When Alik threw his axe, Brewster determined that the "monster" below was the teacher who taught him martial arts.

"It's ......"

Brewster looked at Hetty beside him. Heti naturally noticed the abnormality under the Holy City, and she recognized at a glance that the demons with armor on their bodies were "prospectors". Prospectors are a breed of producers who, like pangolins, can dig through the ground to find minerals. These prospectors have an instinct to search for metal, which is a "trap" set up by Cook with special stimuli. When they find metal nearby, prospectors rush to it as if they were finding food. The soldiers of the Holy City wore swords, and there were many metal objects in the Holy City. That's why these demons are slowly swarming towards the Holy City. Ironically, these demons are not meant to attack or slaughter humans. And the humans began to fight each other before they even came close.

Of course, Hetty also saw the "Outposts" hidden among the "Prospectors" and Alik, parasitized by the Archetypes.

"Is he the 'Alex' you've been looking for?" Greatsword's good eyesight allowed Hetty to clearly see the parasitic sarcoma on Alex's body, "He's hopeless." Now he's no longer the knight you know, he's just a demon. ”

"It's just a demon?" Brewster smacked the words as if he was going to break them up and swallow them, with a bitter expression, "and how do you explain that he threw his tomahawk in Palmer's direction? he had a specific goal in mind to kill that guy, and it was Alik's revenge." Even though Alik is dead, his hatred is still burning. He's still a knight!"

"Actually, it's just a fool of yourself as human beings, and it's nothing remarkable. Now it's just a demon that has inherited hatred. Hetty drew his broadsword, shrugged his shoulders and said, "But no matter how much you look like a human, it doesn't matter if you inherit human feelings and carry human memories." It's still a demon. And all I have to do now is destroy these demons. ”

"I think you just don't want the people of the Holy City to know about the ugly things that the church has driven out. You unleash some demons and then bring the destruction of the village down on these producers. Alec knows the truth of the matter, so you choose to turn him into a demon and then kill him. So you will pluck it all for yourselves. Brewster rebuked, "You're going to kill people." ”

"You misunderstood me, Brewster. Releasing these producers and turning Alik into a demon should be Palmer's dictatorship. Hetty shook her head and said, "The Holy City is not as dark as you think. If I or the Cook implementation knew about this, we would have stopped it. Although I always felt that Palmer was doing some more small actions, I didn't expect him to release the demon. He should want to establish his image among the people. He wanted a glamorous show in which he played a commander who commanded his soldiers to slaughter the terrible demons. After all, he was just a nobleman, and he had never fought demons himself, so he didn't know the dangers of demons. These demons should not be unleashed, and I object to Palmer's self-determination. But ......"

Hetty said so much, but in the end there was another twist. Brewster's Adam's apple rose and fell, and he stared at Hetty's face.

"But — things have come to this point that we have to follow Palmer's pace. Now is not the time to reveal the 'Demon Exploitation Plan' to the public. With the twin goddesses above, all this should be a subtle process. All in all...... I must destroy these demons before they reach the Holy City. ”

Brewster tightened his grip on his sword, he tried to stop Hetty, but he knew he was far from him. But if he doesn't draw his sword at this time, then Alik will not only be miserably pierced by ten thousand arrows, but will also be spurned as a "demon who destroys the villages around the Holy City". Obviously he was such a devout cultist, such a majestic knight. His sword doesn't know how many sinful heads have been cut off, his hands don't know how many people have been saved, and he shouldn't be treated like this. Alik was destined to die, and Brewster had had this premonition long ago. Knights who have been torn between life and death for many years can always see the corner of Death's robe, and Alik may have seen his own death omen. But Brewster thought that such a great knight should not have died like this.

Brewster's hand froze on the hilt of his sword, but an ordinary long sword seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Hetty ignored the young man in her struggle, and she turned and walked out of the Holy City. Killing people in a semi-parasitic state, Hetty herself is not comfortable. The robbers and felons used in Cook's previous experiments were the scum of society. But this time was different. Hetty, who was thinking about this, was blocked by another long sword, and Hetty saw the person clearly and was stunned for a moment.

The person who came was none other than Sulfona.

"It turned out to be you. I should have thought that you can't just lie in bed and recuperate. You...... When did you come?"

"It was there from the beginning. Spinna, swaying her short chin-length blonde hair, said, "I was there before you found Brewster. ”
