Chapter 744: Marching into the Temple
Relying on Amethyst's newly acquired ability, the blood worms parasitic in the human body were led out and killed in batches. also made Amethyst, a snack, a full.
She didn't know how her stomach was structured, and she used to be able to eat crystals several times the size of her body. Thousands of blood worms were piled up larger than Amethyst's body, but she just ate a fine light.
After eating and drinking, Amethyst evolved again, and the purple stratum corneum on her body began to redden. The barbs in the mouthparts are also sharper, with two of the largest pairs growing to form protruding fangs.
Her health has been increased by about 20% and she has a new effect, Vampire Aura: allied units within the aura's radius drain a percentage of their health per melee physical attack.
After disposing of the blood worms parasitic in the bodies of the wounded and captives, Amethyst rushed into the night again, hissing around the battlefield during the day.
In the middle of the rope, seven or eight hundred infected people came out of some hell and lined up in a phalanx according to Amethyst's orders. is worthy of being a worm man in the command system, the formation of the infected body under the control of amethyst is strict and orderly, and it is ten times better than Ma Xin's micro-operation.
The blood worms in the bodies of these infected people, Amethyst is reluctant to eat them. Her own single combat effectiveness is limited, and she has no insect force to command, since this group of infected people is so obedient, Xiang Ningxuan will leave it to Amethyst to play by herself.
Xiang Ningxuan can now understand that the most basic ability of amethyst, a snack, is to eat, inorganic and organic matter can be eaten, as long as it is rich in spiritual energy, what else can be eaten. In the future, she may be able to evolve some strange abilities if she is fed well.
Shuvatu said enviously: "I knew that amethyst could control the infected, and it saved me and my brothers from risking death to clean it up." ”
Xiang Ningxuan shook his head, Amethyst's ability was limited, and she couldn't command too many infected bodies. However, there was no need to explain this to Chovatu, who asked: "Can the 1st Cavalry Division fight again?" ”
Shuvatu patted his chest and said, "No problem! We've had a little over two hours of rest, and the lads are well fed and drunk enough to fight for 300 rounds. ”
Xiang Ningxuan looked at his watch and said, "Okay!" We marched to the temple tonight overnight. ”
It's very dangerous to march at night, and some lurking monsters will launch a sneak attack when they find an opportunity, regardless of whether your army is large or not.
The elite regiment will act in conjunction with the 1st Cavalry Division, relying on the night vision devices on the individual tactical armor to detect the enemy in advance. There are also werewolves, undead, dark elves, goblins and other aliens with special abilities in the group. Night operations are not greatly affected.
The 1st Cavalry Division did not have such good conditions, so it was necessary to have an elite regiment to help guide it.
What the? Why don't you take an airship, you ask?
Although the airship is protected, this black light is blinding, and there are flying creatures everywhere that are not afraid of death.
At midnight, Xiang Ningxuan marched to the temple in the dark with more than 100 elite regiments and three regiments of the 1st Cavalry Division.
Although the casualties of the elite regiment were only a dozen or so, the equipment was badly damaged. Dozens of sets of individual tactical armor were damaged and needed urgent repairs.
The airship carries a maintenance company on board, which is responsible for equipment repair. Now he has started working in Lingwu City.
Due to poor communication, the temple didn't even know that Ma Xin had been defeated, and only some of the infected who had been controlled by their minds felt bad. Unfortunately, they did not receive orders from their superiors, and they did not know how to deal with them in panic.
When the morning light dawned, the pointed head on the dome of the temple was already in view.
Before Xiang Ningxuan arrived, the crescent moon twin blades rose into the air on their own, hovering and flying at the entrance of the temple and buzzing.
The guards guarding the temple trembled and said, "Who dares, dare to come to the Holy Land of my God Sect to spread wilderness? ”
Ma Xin gathered a group of fanatics under the banner of fanatical religious jihad, stole the power of the True God Cult, and slandered the high priest as a heretic, but it was impossible to change people's beliefs in a short period of time.
Its most loyal troops had been annihilated at the tomb of the Western Xia kings with Ma Xin, and there were not many die-hard people guarding the temple, most of them were true god believers, and many of them were former clergy.
They were already at a loss when they saw the pair of humming crescent blades. The divine power of the true god was stirring in it, and the aura of murder was directed against their professing believers.
Xiang Ningxuan himself was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly sent a few Apologetic soldiers on the battlefield to shout: "Ma Xin has apostasy and defected to the evil god, and the gods are furious. He has now been killed by Lieutenant General Xiang Ningxuan, the commander of the Shenwei Army. General Xiang is the messenger of the true gods, killing the demons and redeeming us. Why don't you lay down your arms and greet the general! Those who resist will be killed, and their souls will be tormented forever! ”
Naturally, it was impossible for the temple to give up resistance with just a few words. The surrounding defensive shields were raised, and the defenders stationed in them were ready for battle. For some religious believers, guarding the temple is a sacred and honorable duty, even at the cost of one's life.
The person in charge of shouting was still threatening loudly, but Xiang Ningxuan walked up with a sneer, and a small number of long-range attacks hit him and were bounced away by the psionic shield.
With a move of both hands, the Crescent Moon Twin Blades, which had been thrown into the protective shield, flashed with a flash of inspiration, and thousands of revenants rushed out, roaring and wailing, accusing Ma Xin of his crimes, and disintegrating the temple's defensive shield from within.
Amethyst followed Xiang Ningxuan forward, opening her mouth and letting out a high-frequency scream. The people infected by the bloodworms immediately screamed, these people were the backbone of the resistance, and after they lost their combat effectiveness, the entire defense line immediately collapsed.
The others couldn't figure out the situation, thinking that this was divine punishment, and let Xiang Ningxuan swagger into the temple.
"Arrest these people! Kill those who resist! Xiang Ningxuan coldly ordered.
The 1st Cavalry Division immediately followed viciously into the temple, and the few who resisted were directly hacked to death. In addition to this, it can be said that the temple was captured without bloodshed.
Although several priests who didn't know the situation did not dare to resist, those who dared to resist had been killed by Ma Xin, or they cried and cried to the main god that the sacred temple had been desecrated by the infidels, and asked the true god to send down divine punishment to punish the infidels.
Without waiting for the first cavalry division to make a move, the apologists who had their own righteousness stepped forward and kicked them over, reprimanding: "You fools who don't know Mount Tai, General Xiang is the messenger of the true god. And you follow Ma Xin, the lackey of the evil god, to blaspheme the true god, why don't you quickly kneel down and ask the divine envoy for forgiveness? ”
The bullshit in the mortal world was not considered by Xiang Ningxuan for the time being, as soon as he entered the temple, his mind was sucked into a strange space.
In the middle of the vast square, there was a figure wrapped in a soft light, not visible in his clothes, but feeling like a learned elder. In front of him was a book the size of a suitcase, dictating the scriptures.
Countless people in the square listened attentively, and they silently praised the majesty, kindness, and wisdom of the gods, and their expressions were humble and submissive, and no one dared to look up at their gods.
Xiang Ningxuan, who held his head high, was out of place with the whole scene, he looked directly at the figure with a full body of light, and he didn't look deferential at all.
