Chapter 66: Pagan Attack
Outside the Blue Cathedral, two explosions shattered two archangel statues. The rubble and shock wave swept away all the church knights who were guarding the outside of the church, and all the citizens who were nearby were killed in the explosion, and many were injured nearby.
Most of the heavily armored church knights were able to get up from the ground, and some of them retreated into the church, closing the doors of the church to protect the worshippers hiding inside. The other group of living church knights lined up in a wall, aiming their long-handled battle axes at the two men standing in the middle of the square.
The two men wore loose, blood-red smocks and hoods on their heads. The robe showed off a giant python pattern, and under his feet stepped on a magic array that was bubbling with a blood-red glow.
is so calm, and there is an evil aura on his body. It can be concluded that the two explosions that had just blown up the statue of the archangel were made by them......
They are heretics on the evil side.
The Holy See of the Supreme Kindness can be kind to every believer of the God of Light and ordinary people without faith, but it has always had zero tolerance for heretics who believe in "false gods". As long as traces of heretical sects are found on the Continent of Order, the Holy See of the Supreme Perfection will definitely send force to exterminate them. And when the Holy See of the Most Good attacks the pagan sects, the Most Good Church sometimes encounters attacks by the pagans.
However, it is rare for a heavily protected church like the Blue Cathedral to be attacked.
The knights of the church guarding the cathedral around the cathedral rushed from all directions, and the armor they wore glowed with a pale golden glow. They used each other's guardian skills, lined up battle formations, and waited for orders to lay siege to the infidels who had invaded the Blue Cathedral.
The two infidels, who were surrounded, did not make any nervous or frightened movements, and they stood firmly on the magic array with their hands behind their backs.
Step by step, the church knights approached, chanting prayers together, and magic increased their strength and increased their protection. The light emitted from the armor became stronger and stronger, combining into a light curtain with cooperative defense attributes.
Corresponding...... The magic circle under the feet of the two infidels, which was also expanding. The blood-red light solidified into a beating flame, like a roar from the abyss, louder and louder each time. Suddenly, the ground under the feet of the two pagans rose rapidly, and the sudden abnormality caused the church knights to cautiously stop their advance.
"I am Ramses, Bishop of Salo Yang of the Abyss Gazing Church...... One of the heretics spread his voice throughout the Blue Cathedral area, "I am on the orders of the President of the Gazing Abyss Church to establish the Abyss Gazing Chapter in Saloyan City......
Today is my first day in the city of Saroyan, and I decided to say hello to the citizens of Saroyan in this way.
Eggus, the Dread Demon King who gazes into the Abyss Faith, fear is his priesthood. Therefore...... Tremble in fear, lowly reptiles, the more you fear...... The more powerful my God is.
The God of Light can't protect you, the angels can't protect you, and the Frominck Empire can't protect you. Here I am, in the middle of this city, and I will take your souls......
Feel the horror of hell! ”
As soon as Ramses finished speaking, the ground covered by the entire magic array, except for the place where the two staring abyss cultists stood, collapsed in an instant, and the real hell flames steamed. After a roar that soared into the sky, a demon was summoned.
The demon crawled from the abyss to the ground and roared at the terrified crowd. He is nearly seven meters tall and has a burly and strong build, his body is covered in dark red lava, he has a pair of curved horns on his head, four sharp claws, and a thick tail behind his ass. A roar spread, and a terrified psychic shock spread, and some of the churchmen's frightened hands loosened, and their long-handled tomahawks fell to the ground.
"It's a Rank 13 demon...... Stay in formation! Seeing that the morale of his subordinates was frightened by the demons, the commander of the church knights immediately shouted loudly: "Defend! Defend! Wait for the support of the Knights of the Temple...... We are warriors of the God of Light......"
Before the Church Knight Commander could finish speaking, the demon disappeared in an instant, and then appeared from the top of the Church Knight Leader's head. The huge body slammed down, and the heavily armored knight commander did not react, and turned into a flattened piece of iron.
The demon roared again...... It is a projection of demonic power condensed by summoning divine power, it has the strength of a demon but does not have the mind of a demon, and it is a monster that kills by instinct.
After the demon killed the Papal Knights, he waved his claws at the Church Knights beside him. The heavily armored church knights, like bowling balls, were swept away in pieces. Flames flew and exploded, and the demons continued to release their magic as they slaughtered the knights around them. In a short period of time, the church knights, who had just been disciplined and in a neat queue, were lost in a wail.
Without any incendiary objects, a sky-high magical flame spread across the square.
The swiftly reacting Imperial Army had already sent Silverwings to the airspace of the Blue Cathedral, but they did not immediately attack when they saw the presence of demons on the ground.
The demon is the ultimate creature of the original hell plane, and the first born is the 13th order. Although they cannot fly, they can enter subspace and move at will. In other words, the silver wings flying in the air are not safe when facing demons.
All the Silver Wings of the Imperial Air Force received orders.
"This incident is tentatively scheduled as a religious conflict. According to the agreement between the Empire and the Holy See, in the event of an armed conflict between the Holy See and the pagan sects, the Imperial Army will give appropriate convenience to the Holy See.
All Silver Wings are on standby in the air, and as long as the Holy See of the Most Good is still fighting demons, we will not intervene in the battle. ”
"The ground army imposed a blockade on the neighborhood around the Blue Church, evacuated the citizens, cleared the roads, and covered the battle fortress into the battlefield."
"The cruiser-class airship is about to enter the blue zone, and the Silver Wing relay covers ......"
While the Imperial Army was besieging the Blue Church and setting up battle tactics, the knights of the Azur Cathedral were late in coming.
In fact, you can't blame the knights of the Blue Cathedral.
The tension in the province of Marcellus has made the Imperial garrison in the city of Saroyan tense at any time, and the head of the Special Security Bureau was assassinated some time ago, and the Imperial garrison has raised the warning level to a higher level. The outside was loose and the inside was tight, so much so that as soon as the Blue Cathedral exploded, all the Imperial garrisons in combat readiness began to act at the same time.
And the knights of the temple have really been comfortable for too long.
No one would have thought that anyone would dare to attack the Blue Cathedral and carry out such a blatant attack in broad daylight. No one could have imagined that so many church knights could not deal with two infidels.
And when the demon was summoned, it was too late for the knights of the temple to rush out to support.
