The Beginning of the Troubled Times Chapter 10: The End of the Holy See (1)
August 31, 2020. On the 13th day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the dark clouds in the sky had completely blocked the moonlight, and the entire city of Rome was already asleep. But Vatican City is lit up by magic. All the personnel of the Holy See are ready to stay at their combat posts. There was no sound in the entire Vatican except for the occasional snort of the Knights' Pegasus.
Suddenly, a long wolf howl broke the silence of the night sky, and then three summoning doors appeared inside the main entrance of the Vatican. From the Summoning Gate came a terrifying aura of death. The knights of the three major orders of the "Death's Gate" are all too familiar with this summoning door, and are about to turn back into the Vatican City to stop the undead from escaping from the summoning gate. Another voice suddenly rang out. "Dear knights, your opponents are here. As soon as he finished speaking, countless bats appeared in the sky above the three knights, and then all the bats transformed into vampires and flew in the air.
"All men got on their horses and prepared to meet the enemy. The three knight commanders ordered.
At the same time, in the Papal Square, a sky of undead creatures swarmed out of the Summoning Gate and exchanged hands with the Inquisitors standing in the first row, and the Divine Fighting Spirit on the Inquisitors' crossed swords was the nemesis of the undead. The Inquisitors were like chopping melons and vegetables, killing a large number of undead creatures in the moment of their fight. The level of the undead creatures summoned from the Summoning Gate is not high, they are all low-level undead creatures, as long as they are stained with Divine Fighting Qi, they will be immediately purified without a trace. However, the speed of the inquisitors' purification was far from keeping up with the speed of the summoning of the three 'summoning gates', and in the three 'summoning gates', low-level undead creatures poured out like a tide, and the next moment the hundred inquisitors in the front row were drowned, if it weren't for the occasional shining light of the divine fighting qi in the black wave composed of undead creatures, people thought that the hundred inquisitors at the forefront must have all died.
"The one, two, and three squads of the sacrificial legion take turns using the 'Purifying Light'. Support the Inquisitor Frontline. The First Bishop's team immediately managed to find the dark mage who cast the 'Summoning Gate' and then terminated their spell casting. Archbishop Aldrich's order suddenly sounded.
As soon as the words fell, three holy white rays of light flew towards the three summoning gates, blocking the door of the summoning gate. The bodies of all low-level undead creatures who had just been summoned from the Summoning Gate showed a look of pain after touching the 'Purifying Light', and then their entire bodies were purified without a trace in the next instant. The "Purifying Light" has reduced the original tidal wave of undead creatures by about three-quarters, and only slightly higher-level undead can rush out of the "Purifying Light". The pressure on the Inquisitor Legion at the front was suddenly much less. However, there are still many undead creatures that can break through the "Purifying Light" block, after all, there are too many undead creatures summoned by the three death gates.
"Hey, lovely little priests, I'm your old friend, the Witch Theanna. Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in mid-air. "We meet again today. As soon as he finished speaking, a huge curse appeared in the sky above the sacrificial legion. The curse was originally something that could not be seen or touched, but this curse power avenue made everyone present feel that this curse power was pressed down on them like a pot lid. And this sense of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.
"Team One, Two, Three, continue to support the Inquisitors. All the rest of the sacrificial squads. Join forces to resist the witches' attacks. Archbishop Aldrich commanded again.
"Archbishop Aldrich, your command and formation are really timely and accurate. A voice rang out beside Aldrich.
"Come out! Georgia. Aldrich shouted another cardinal beside him. At the same time, on his left hand, a basketball-sized "Holy Light Missile" condensed in an instant. Flew towards the void in front of him. After flying halfway, it suddenly disappeared. Then it suddenly appeared in mid-air and collided with a pitch-black magic projectile, two opposite magical energies colliding. caused a huge explosion. The battle between the two Holy Magisters was truly extraordinary, and although it was only a tentative attack before the official battle, it had already made the surrounding space shaky.
"Joshua, my dear brother. This is not where we fight. Georgia laughed. "I don't care, but if I'm not careful, or Imogen or Maryam Holy Magister, I'll ruin your lovely Papal Palace. I think you'll be very sad. ”
"Today I will avenge my father, my mother, my sister-in-law, and my nephew, and by the way, get rid of you abominable traitor. Joshua said viciously. After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared in front of the papal throne. Along with Joshua to the Dark Holy Magister, Archbishop Zoe and Archbishop Eleanor were on their way. The six Holy Magisters looked at each other in mid-air, and a moment later, the three cardinal archbishops raised their right hands at the same time. All six of them entered a special spatial barrier. The battle between the Holy Magisters is on the verge of breaking out.
At this time, in the Papal Square, the Inquisitor Legion was still fighting against a steady stream of undead. After a long battle, the inquisitors on the front line have shown signs of fatigue. Casualties have even begun. At this time, the inquisitor chief Vaolette ordered: "The second echelon is ready, and the first echelon is replaced." "The second echelon is the echelon where Ruby is. After hearing the order, Ruby clenched the cross-sword in his hand tightly, and stared at the undead creatures in front of him like a tide, the first time he went to the battlefield, he faced so many undead creatures. To say that there is no nervousness at all is definitely false. "Cheer up the lads, it's time for us to perform. Harper shouted. As he spoke, he spat viciously on the ground. "Let's send these undead creatures back to his mother's belly! Lord is with us!" he raised the cross-sword in his hand and rushed forward, and the young Inquisitors of the Seventy-Two Squad who were following Harper also roared and rushed forward. Take advantage of a gap in the first echelon ahead to repel the undead. The handover of positions was completed.
"The first echelon that retreated was moved to the fifth echelon to rest, and the battle sequences of the other echelons were extended in order. "After the first echelon retreated, Vaolet's order also came. All the combatants of the first echelon who had retreated immediately retreated to the rear of the Inquisitor Legion, and in the first wave of the battle they lost thirty-six Inquisitors. The death rate was nearly 10 percent. In the battle with the undead, it is not the death of their comrades that makes the judges psychologically devastated, but because of the shroud of the undead aura, the fallen comrades will quickly become undead creatures and raise their butcher knives to their former comrades. And those who are still alive can't kill their fallen comrades who have been transformed into undead creatures at the first time because they still have feelings for their former comrades-in-arms, and then be killed by their former comrades-in-arms. Half of the thirty-six Inquisitors who died were killed in this way by their comrades who had been transformed into the undead.
"Everyone, pay attention, if you have a comrade-in-arms around you who has been transformed into an undead creature, remember to give him a sword, you are not cruel, but to help him free himself and let him return to the arms of the Lord as soon as possible. Do you remember?" ordered Vaolet in a loud voice.
"Got it. All the inquisitors replied loudly.
"Hey, little Ruby," one of Ruby's comrades shouted as he hacked down an undead creature that pounced on Ruby. "Be careful. If you die and are transformed into the undead, I will not hesitate to make up for you. ”
"Concentrate on fighting, Paul. Harper said without looking back, facing the tide of undead.
"Hey, okay! Captain Harper. Paul wiped the sweat from his face and grinned at Ruby. Then, without hesitation, he rushed again into the tide of undead creatures. The determined gaze in his eyes made it impossible to tell that he was only twenty-two years old this year.
