Chapter 222: The Storm in the Holy Capital
The crisp sound of iron shoes hitting the ground was dense like rain, and the corridor echoed the jingle of armor and sword clashing as they hurried by.
Inside the open door, there stood more than a dozen priests who were exquisitely dressed but somewhat flustered, and the priest of Cente was also full of sadness and worry, asking the cloak girl beside him from time to time.
"Captain, they're here!" The girl looked out the door with relief.
"Monica, how's it going?" Miria stepped briskly into the wide room, and behind her were the great swords ready for battle.
"The Awoken and the demons move together, and at their speed, they will reach Rapoll from the northeast in four hours. Among the nine awakened ones, two are speculated to be at the upper level, and three demons have weak qi, and if the demons are huddled together, it is really difficult to distinguish, and now it is confirmed that there are more than sixty! ”
The atmosphere at the scene was very tense, Monica was slightly relieved after finishing the report one by one, and Helen, who had been with her all the time, smiled at her with encouragement and praise.
After discovering that the Awakened and the demon were approaching in the tavern, Helen, as a senior, immediately arranged for the troops to split into two routes, and Joni brought the news back to the village, while she and Monica went to the Great Sanctuary to inform the church.
Also relieved, there were also Rapoll's priests, when they learned that a large number of monsters were going to attack Rapoll, the more than thirty heavily armed swords with sharp eyes in front of them gave them some confidence in their hearts.
"Is it the Awakened of the North?" Miria asked.
"No, it's all strange demonic energy."
"Sister Miria, why do the Awakened act with demons? And even pointed at Rabaule ......" Helen asked the question in her heart, but in the end, there was some panic in her eyes.
"There is no doubt that there is a motive and this possibility at this time, only the organization."
Miria answered the question, and then spent most of her energy thinking about how to deal with the organization's attack.
There are nine Awakened Ones, but they only have seven crusade teams to put together, and they have to consider the more than sixty demons, if they can't stop them, I'm afraid that even if they are finally defeated, everything in Rapoll will be hit hard.
"Those awakened people and demons were sent by the organization?!" Even if there is only one truth that can explain things, many big swords find it difficult to accept.
The organization that has always claimed to be the sword and shield of human beings against demons can control a large number of awakened people and demons in private, and they all have to eat people to survive......
Under the contradiction between spirit and reality, the last sense of identity with the organization in their hearts is also lost.
Priest Vincent and the other priests exchanged glances, stepped forward, and said to the greatswords on behalf of the church, "We expected that the organization would not easily let you out of control and join the church, but we didn't expect it to be in such a terrible form...... Now the lives of both nobles and commoners are under great threat, and if we do not work together, I am afraid that countless families will be ruined, so the Church and I personally implore you to do your part to protect our beautiful and holy Rapoll with the soldiers. ”
Priest Vincent had no idea how powerful the nine Awoken were, but he could imagine how much of a threat the sixty demons were. That's enough power to destroy the town.
So in the end, he couldn't help but bend down with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he was about to bend down towards the group of beautiful and heroic warriors in front of him.
But a pair of hands holding a bouquet of flowers held him firmly.
"Don't be so polite, killing demons and protecting humans is our position that we will never change."
Priest Vincent raised his eyes and saw that the man in front of him was a warrior of outstanding appearance even among the great swordsmen.
"Captain Flora! You're back. Joni happily greeted her and asked, "What is the flower in your hand?" ”
Was it sent by Ophelia's seniors?
"At the end of the mission, the children from the village handed it over, and I like it." Flora turned around and broke off a branch of the flower and put it in a vase beside her, "When I came back, I sensed a large group of demonic energy, so I hurried back." ”
"I may receive even more touching gifts in the future, so even for the sake of this anticipation, I can't let those monsters and organizations ruin this place."
"Well, the wine and food here are so good, and the boss is so interesting, it's a shame not to have it." Helen raised her eyebrows and said in a big way.
"Can the church immediately arrange for the residents to evacuate and concentrate in the southwest of the city, and use the narrow alleys to fight the demons head-on, and the soldiers will have a better chance of winning."
Miria has calculated many plans, but none of them can stop all the Awakened and all the demons, and the safest way is to concentrate on the fastest possible way to solve the Awakened who can easily cause large-scale destruction.
"I've thought of one place with us, it's best to arrange it this way!"
Suddenly, two more men walked through the door, wearing armor with the logo of the church emblazoned on them.
"Gegu, Xue Du, you're here too." Jonny smiled and greeted the two older friends.
"Sorry for the delay, because I'm preparing for tomorrow's wedding." Xue Du sighed with regret on his face: "But it seems that the wedding is going to be postponed." ”
"Good work, Gegu, can you take care of the operation of leading the soldiers against the demons?" Priest Vincent said solemnly.
Because he was about to become the son-in-law of the Cyril family, and because he was indeed very good, most of Rapoll's soldiers were now led by Gegu.
"No problem!"
"The church will also send people to guide the residents to evacuate, so please leave the Awakened to you."
Priest Vincent prayed silently in his heart that if Rapoll could be saved, the voices against the Church's acceptance of them would dissipate considerably.
"Priest, it is our duty to do so."
Miriya turned to face all the greatswords and arranged the battle plan aloud.
"Except for Clea, the fighters ranked No.40 and later in each team will fight against the demons with Gegu, and the rest will prepare to face the Awakened with me!"
"The two Upper Awakened are handed over to Team Flora and Team Ventini, Team Lahuana, Team Beronica, Team Cynthia, and Team Aihua are each responsible for one Intermediate Awakener, and Jane joins Team Miria, and we will deal with the three Lower Awakened together!"
"Gladly," Jane was undaunted, even a little eager to try, "we need to finish it quickly so that we can support the rest of the team." ”
After the order was arranged, everyone quickly mobilized.
The Church's ability to control the city finally surfaced on this day, and in just four hours, under the guidance of waves of clergy and soldiers, the northeast of Rapoll fell silent.
In the makeshift resettlement site in the southwest, there is a mixture of voices...... Chaos and violence were inevitable, but on the whole, they had successfully freed up the battlefield.
Gegu and Xue Du also led a group of soldiers to garrison at the intersection and waited for them. 8)
