272. It's dawn
A jingling alarm bell suddenly spread throughout the City of Innocence.
The citizens who were still watching the bustle in the sky were shocked, and then went home in an orderly manner, taking their wives and children and all kinds of valuables, and rushed to various shelters in the city.
After two successive catastrophes, the people of the City of Innocence have become more experienced, and as a result, many new shelters have been built in the city, and several safety education campaigns have been conducted for the people, but now the citizens are not as chaotic as the previous two times.
At the same time, the response of the city defense army was also very fast, and the well-equipped soldiers marched up the city wall in an orderly and fast manner, and the bed crossbows and stone throwers were also quickly put into place.
It seems that although the lord of the city was forced to sign a warrant allowing the Visas to enter the city, he did not let his guard down, and the soldiers did not let their guard down, and the efforts of the old bishop and the bishop of Yeke were not completely in vain.
On the Orthodox side, the preparations were even more adequate, and the crusaders stationed outside the city quickly assembled under the organization of the paladins and entered the city; Many priests and bishops quickly rushed to the control node of the Wall of Sighs, ready to activate the enchantment.
As for Gallo, he grabbed Lilian Luo's double ponytail and persuaded the Great Elder to let the dragons quickly take to the air to meet the enemy.
But at this moment, an ethereal melody suddenly sounded in the sky.
The melody was ethereal but tactful, and it should have been very soft, but everyone in the city could hear it clearly, as if it was ringing in their ears.
Everyone who heard this melody was impressed by it, felt light and comfortable, and wanted to sleep on the spot.
And once this idea appeared, it was no longer possible to suppress the pajamas pouring in, and people felt their eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and the drowsiness became thicker and thicker, and finally they fell on the spot in a daze.
"Not good... This voice... This is the song of the angels..."
"And Visa, a god of darkness and dreams!"
The old bishop pinched his thigh hard, forcing himself to stay conscious.
Only then did he realize that the enemy's means were so strong?
The angels under the seat of the god of dreams, hypnotizing ordinary humans with the superiority of personality and authority, are simply unable to resist.
Moreover, this hypnotic sound is harmless to humans themselves, so the protective measures on the body cannot be effective, and even the wall of sighs cannot resist this harmless singing.
The old bishop and Bishop Yeke had considered many of the methods that the enemy would take, but neither of them expected that the enemy would directly induce the angels to the Nether.
This means that the god Visa has come to an end himself...
They hadn't previously considered the scenario where Visa would end up in person.
Because it's useless to think about it, if the gods want to end up in person, then any worries and preparations on their own side are meaningless.
How can the confrontation between gods and angels be mixed up by mortals?
The old bishop then looked at Bishop Yerk and the city lord on the side.
The lord of the city was already asleep at this time, and he was still snoring loudly...
Bishop Jeke was still able to hold on, and he bit the back of his hand hard, stimulating his spirit with pain.
He was no longer able to speak, so he could only ask the old bishop with his eyes what to do next.
"Wait, and hope..."
The old bishop could only reply.
As a result, Bishop Jeke could not hear what he had to say, and fell asleep.
The old bishop couldn't help but purse his lips and muttered:
"Strange... Why do I feel okay? ”
Not only did he stay awake, but he was even more sober.
At this time, Gallo's side was trying to wake up Lilian and Luo.
Lilian Rose was fine, seeing that she was about to fall asleep, she was pulled hard by Gallo in her double ponytail, but she immediately woke up.
But the Great Elder and her father and her brother couldn't do it, so they just lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
"Are you dragons so willful?"
Gallo asked angrily.
He had managed to convince the Great Elder to help them and take off together to destroy those floating boats, but as the song sounded, these unreliable dragons all lay on the ground and pretended to be corpses...
Lilian Ann Luo's father and brother fell directly to the ground and began to sleep, while the Great Elder held on for two more seconds and finally said to Gallo:
"Oh no, this song asks..."
Then he fell asleep with him.
In the face of Gallo's questioning, Lilian Rose could only say aggrievedly:
"Woo... I don't know why that's happening either. ”
"As soon as I heard that song, I wanted to sleep, but fortunately Gallo woke me up in time, so I didn't feel so sleepy..."
"But the Great Elders..."
"Alas... No matter, let's just get on it! ”
Gallo couldn't care so much, and hurriedly grabbed Lilian Luo's double ponytails and ordered:
"Lillian Loe, strike!"
Lilian Rowe was about to change back to her original type, but there was another change in the sky.
It was still daytime, but in the blink of an eye, the whole sky was darkened.
It wasn't the natural darkness of the passage of time, it was more like a black cloth covering the sky above the City of Innocence, and the sky was completely enveloped in that rich black, without the slightest light.
Not only was the natural light gone, but even the man-made light sources that looked like magic lamps were extinguished, and the whole city was completely plunged into darkness in an instant, so black that you couldn't see your fingers.
Along with this darkness came a huge, lofty coercion, holy and sublime, that both the old bishop and Lilian Rowe wanted to kneel and worship.
Even Gallo felt his heart beat faster, his eyes fixed on the distant sky.
In the darkness, Elliott, the first angel of Visa, slowly descended into the sky above the City of Innocence.
His coming was very quiet, there were no dazzling visual effects, everything was hidden in the dark.
Even Gallo couldn't see his true face, and could only feel something powerful appear.
He knew that this thing could not be dealt with by himself, so he hurriedly reached out to grab Lilian Luo, but the catch was empty.
Obviously, Lilian Luo was still by his side before, and it was impossible for him to leave alone, but he stretched out his hand but didn't grab anything.
Gallo hurriedly lit a pinch of holy flames, wanting to illuminate them.
The flame was lit, and he could clearly feel the temperature of the flames, but he couldn't see the light...
Even the light of the Holy Flame was swallowed up by the darkness around it!
Gallo was a little flustered for a moment, waving his hands in the darkness, trying to find Lilian Luo as soon as possible.
He couldn't fight this powerful and strange enemy if he couldn't turn into an angel.
In the darkness, he caught nothing.
But a delicate and silky, slightly cold little hand took the initiative to grab him.
Not the same as Lilian Loe's feel?
"Amiya!"
Gallo was slightly startled.
Amiya is a puppet, and the puppet is not afraid of the dark and does not need to sleep.
Amiya in the darkness didn't respond, and Gallo couldn't see anything, only to feel a soft body of bumps against her back, holding her hand with one hand and gently hugging her waist with the other.
The slightest coolness from this body made his mind sober up a lot.
So he first activated the Dumb Hair Magic to make the dumb hair stand up on the top of his head, and then activated the special function of the robe on his body, so that he was equivalent to returning to the church.
With the robe activated, there was finally a little light in the darkness.
Gallo hurriedly half-knelt down, and Amiya behind him also knelt half-kneeling with him, and the two were still tightly glued together.
Gallo then began to pray:
"Help! Mia-sama! Big things are wrong! ”
If it were the same as before, he should have remembered the magic of turning into an angel at this time.
But this time, things were a little different, and he couldn't recall the feeling smoothly.
The goddess did not respond to him and seemed to be asleep too, or could not find him in the darkness?
But the dark angel in the sky found him, and in the darkness, the little light around him was as conspicuous as a lighthouse on the sea.
Gallo could clearly feel the presence in heaven and discover himself...
Perhaps because of the arrival just now, the dark angel Elliot in the darkness did not rush closer, but just cast his gaze, and then let his own coercion converge there.
The darkness around him was also under His control, and it came rushing over him.
The protection magic on Gallo's body was activated in an instant, and the triangular shield tower, the shield wall, and the fortress sprung up one after another, protecting him in the middle, resisting the coercion from the angels.
Elliot may not be as person as the evil gods and star gods of his predecessors, but he has successfully descended and wielded the authority given by Visa, which can be exercised more directly and purely.
The triangular shields around Gallo shattered and disappeared, turning into bits of light and dust, and then instantly swallowed by the darkness around them.
Then there are the tower shields, the city walls, and finally the bastion...
At this time, the picture looks like it is in an endless darkness, with only the last rays of light left.
The light was very weak compared to the darkness around it, and it seemed that it would be completely swallowed up in the next second.
In the midst of this light, Gallo, half-kneeling, was still praying his last prayers.
Fortunately, he has enough magic on his body, and he can resist for a while for the time being.
He could probably feel that if he was surrounded by this darkness and couldn't get out of it in time, he would probably be completely lost in the darkness and disappear from the world...
At this most critical juncture, he suddenly remembered the crown he had bought a while ago, and hurriedly took it out of his sleeve.
Do you want to wear it?
Gallo hesitated, and still had some resistance in his heart.
He could sense that if he brought this with him, it was likely that some bad changes would happen.
Although the crown was given to him by the goddess, even the goddess herself did not let him wear it.
And how much can his divine magic last for a while, if he tries his best to maintain his divine magic, maybe he can hold on until the goddess comes to save himself?
Gallo held the crown in his hand and did not move.
At this moment, the dumb hair on the top of his head suddenly moved, and Lilian Luo's cry came from his ears:
"Gallo? Gallo? Where are you? ”
"I'm so scared, I can't see anything..."
"Woo, Gallo, don't leave me..."
Gallo's hand trembled slightly.
He might be able to hold on a little longer, but what should they do in the dark, Lillian Loe, Youlan, the Captain, and the old bishop?
What about the rest of the city?
Gallo couldn't help but recall the scene from the nightmare before...
So he regained the crown in both hands and lifted it above his head.
Before putting it on for the end, he twisted his head and asked Amiya behind him:
"If I wasn't me, would you still be by my side in the future?"
Amiya didn't answer him, just hugged his waist harder.
"Got it..."
"Be my wings, Amiya!"
A smile appeared on Gallo's face, and he slowly brought the crown to his head, while muttering softly:
"May the Goddess forgive me for transgression..."
"Gallo is here, on behalf of my lord, to give light to the world!"
With that, the ornament at the top of his crown, which looked like wings and saplings, began to shine.
At the same time, the protection magic on his body also failed, and the darkness around him surged like a tidal wave, completely submerging him and Amiya's figures.
The city of innocence is once again in darkness, and there is no longer the slightest light.
Elliott, who was hidden in the darkness, withdrew her gaze and prepared for the next step of her plan.
But at this moment, where Gallo disappeared, a few faint bits of light burst out of the darkness again.
The light flickered slightly, flickering in the darkness, and getting brighter and brighter, as if something was awakening.
Elliott noticed the change and took control of the darkness around her again, gathering towards that little bit of light, trying to snuff it out again.
This time, however, instead of disappearing, the light was rapidly spreading around, forcibly opening up a bright area out of the darkness.
There, half-kneeling, was an angel.
He wore a one-horned helmet on his head, and his face was covered with a smooth mask that obscured His countenance.
Behind him is a pair of wings made entirely of steel, each feather like a mechanical creation, looking very technological.
His massive body, more than ten meters tall, slowly stood up from the ground, revealing his silver streamlined armor, as if his whole body was made of steel.
This image is more like a giant robot on Earth than an angel.
Then he grabbed a mechanical iron fist and slammed it into the ground beneath his feet.
The ground that was smashed suddenly shattered, and even the entire city felt a slight tremble.
A tiny ray of light burst out from a crack in the ground and reached into the sky, like a hole in the curtain of darkness.
With the appearance of this light, more cracks suddenly appeared in the darkness that enveloped the entire city, and more and more light burst out from it.
Eventually, the darkness that enveloped the city collapsed completely, and light returned.
It's dawn.
In the darkness, Elliot also had nothing to hide, revealing his true face.
He gazed at the huge figure on the ground, and whispered in a quaint and vicissitudes of life:
"Gallo..."
