Chapter 70: The Blood Sacrifice
The blood-colored altar was surrounded by three circles of ditches, and a red liquid slowly flowed from it, and twelve black-robed men circled around this altar, and in the center were the fat priest Giolando, and the former catcher Don Juan.
These two people were tied with iron chains, they were bound in the center of the altar, Giolando as the main sacrifice this time has been cut seven times, the old dean's technique is very ingenious, and it did not hurt Chorando's vital parts, but it made him bleed nonstop.
The blood seeping into the ground gathered into a stream along the ravine, and Giorlando could only moan in pain, probably because the blood flowed too much, his eyes were a little white and he couldn't stand it anymore, and Don Juan on the side looked resigned to his fate, and he didn't say a word.
It's just that what they didn't notice was that a few shadowy figures flashed behind them, and the thick stone pillars obscured their figures.
"That's them!" Lewis leaned back against the stone pillar to calm down, and motioned to his brothers to hold their breath and wait for the change.
"Praise be to God, my lord Thy power is incomparable, thou art the only Lord of heaven and earth, Amen!" The old dean prostrate on the ground and bowed.
Several heretics stepped forward and cut them with knives again, and the bloody human flesh was cut off, and Giorando fainted with a scream.
Lewis and the others poked their heads out of curiosity to look at it, and were immediately shocked, this time the cultists did not bleed the fat priest, they directly cut off his flesh.
A silver plate was served, and the piece of meat was thinly cut into twelve pieces and distributed among each of the congregationals.
"Gross!" John fell to his knees holding on to the stone pillar and retched, he grabbed his throat and forced himself to stop making a sound, it was terrible.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the closer our souls are to God every time we sacrifice to the Son in blood, the divinity of the Holy Spirit will be sublimated in our souls.
When the Last Supper is finished, the blood of the Holy Grail will be distributed to every devout believer, and we will have eternal life in heaven by God's side! ”
"Oooo
Catering in unison, accompanied by a chilling chewing sound, the faces of each member of the Sword of Damocles behind the stone pillar turned pale.
Lewis clenched the crossbow in his hand, only this leanly crafted battlefield weapon could bring him a trace of peace, and took a deep breath, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and prepared to launch a surprise attack.
"No, these people are devils, devils! Ahh ”
A spy of the Sword of Damocles finally couldn't stand such a scene and crouched to the ground with his head in his hands, shrunk into a ball.
The old dean's hand that was eating paused, and his ears twitched slightly: "It seems that a curious guest has walked in, and the black knight has gone to greet these cute little mice!" ”
……
On the other side, Lewis had already felt a bad feeling, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, John was staring at him, and opened his mouth wide: "Boss, behind you!" ”
Whew, a whirlwind slash, Lewis turned over the moment he sensed something was wrong, rolled on the ground to dodge the fatal blow, and took a dozen or so steps back before Lewis had time to see who was sneaking up on him.
The black plate armor covered the whole body, and the murderous aura exuded from the whole body, this enemy was not easy to deal with, and at this moment, another scream came from behind him.
Lewis looked back, only to find that one of his subordinates on the other side of the pillar had been cut in two, and there was a black knight standing behind him, and now the black knight was facing off against John and the other four.
The sudden attack just now far exceeded the expectations of Lewis and the others, and the armor of the black knight was difficult to find in this dim basement, fitting the dark environment, and sticking to the corner of the wall actually hid everyone's vision.
His broken body was still writhing on the ground, and the dying wails of his subordinates made Lewis angry, and he wanted to annihilate the cultists here.
Lewis picked up the crossbow and aimed it at the Black Knight's face, the furious arrow striking the Black Knight's mask in an instant, but it didn't penetrate the plate armor except for the terrible foe to tilt his head slightly.
"This!"
Lewis was full of consternation, even if he couldn't penetrate the armor, he should have broken the black knight, and no matter how bad it was, he should have shot him down, it shouldn't be so close!
"Ahh
The Black Knight's greatsword slashed at him, causing Lewis to take several steps back.
"Their armor is too strong, crossbows are useless!"
Lewis's reminder quickly brought the panicked four to their senses, and they formed a battle formation to surround the other black knight.
Lewis stared at the enemy in front of him, slowly moved to the corpse of his dead men, and then immediately picked up the scimitar that belonged to his subordinates, where he was going to perform the double knife flow stunt.
He couldn't kill these two black knights today, they probably couldn't get out, and now he regretted why he separated from Luca, if the old comrades were still there, the two of them should work together to kill this black knight.
The whirlwind slash came again, and Lewis didn't have his armor to drag him down, and his nimble body dodged, but he didn't let the black knight's greatsword touch the side.
And his double knives also slashed back and forth, but no matter how hard he tried, each slash could only splash some white spots on the black knight's armor.
On the other side, the four Johns were really in a bitter battle.
"This black knight is amazing!"
John and his companions were able to fend off the slashing greatsword, and that wasn't the end of it, as the Black Knight turned his head and struck a warrior with all his might, quickly knocking him to his knees.
"Auspicious!"
John and the three of them didn't have time to rescue, and the black knight slashed, and the head of the auspicious man fell, and then one person was broken.
The red eyes stared at the killing god in front of him, the scimitar in the hands of the three of John had been slightly deformed, and the refinement of the giant sword in the hand of this knight was much better than theirs.
"We're not his opponents, you two go catch a few cultists, and I'll drag him down!"
Alone against this powerful sword-heavy and full-body armor-clad enemy, John spat in his hand, clenched his scimitar again and rushed forward.
Don Juan, in the center of the altar, seemed to have finally come to his senses from the noise of fighting, and he squinted slightly at the fierce battle not far away.
The group of samurai who infiltrated could see that they had fallen into disadvantage, and without backup, they probably wouldn't be able to escape today.
Don Juan's eyes lit up suddenly, and the two of them ran towards here, and he continued to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, but his palms were slightly clenched with chains.
The old dean frowned at the two people who rushed over with knives, there were a lot of people who infiltrated this time, and they were all warriors, and their crossbows and scimitars belonged to the army's standard weapons.
In the Roman Empire, there was no official permission from the empire or very powerful nobles, and few people could get their hands on such weapons.
But the great nobles have been sent to prison by the little emperor recently, and although he stays in the country, he is not unaware of this kind of thing.
Then these can only be Imperial soldiers, it seems that they can't stay here any longer.
Just when the cultists were relaxing, Don Juan suddenly broke out and locked the old dean, and his iron chain tightly choked the old dean's throat, strangling the old dean out of breath.
This was what he planned to do at the last moment, but today's sudden situation allowed him to take the opportunity to kill this man who had fallen into hell.
Don Juan stuck behind the old dean's ear: "Let's die together, even if it is to fall into hell!" ”
Years of captivity, years of torture, all of them will end today, Don Juan looked at the cultists who were dispersed by the two samurai, and didn't pay attention to them, he just tightened the chains even harder.
"Ugh! You! You! You! "The old dean was strangled speechless, and perhaps he should have been killed a long time ago.
"For the sake of the babies you killed, for the sake of the followers of demonic morality who were tempted by you, go to hell, Chris!"
Don Juan's hands and feet had long since been pierced by iron nails, so the old dean didn't kill him, but today years of forbearance, unforgettable hatred and vengeful justice burned in his chest.
When the throbbing body of the old courtyard finally stopped moving, Don Juan was relieved.
"Don't!"
Don Juan lost his strength and fell to his knees, the old dean on his back slipped to the ground softly, and the two warriors who ran over were stunned when they saw this scene, and several cultists had already run away from the secret door on the other side.
"It's broken!" Both are ugly.
At this time, John, who was fighting against the black knight, had already been knocked off the weapon, his face was covered with blood, blue and white, swollen and tall, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he fell to the ground, he tried to get up, but the black knight's foot on his back held him down.
The greatsword stabbed down, splattering a large handful of blood that stained the Black Knight's armor red.
Lewis's side was also in danger, one of his arms had been severed, his cheeks were covered with sweat, and he had been cornered with no way out.
Looking at the slowly approaching enemy, Lewis's scimitar fell to the ground and smiled bitterly: "It seems that there is no way to go back!" ”
