Chapter 160: The Evil Sacrifice Begins
Just as Xue Hua and Gerolilia and other legendary powerhouses joined forces to suppress Anthony and the legendary mages of the True God Cult, outside the palace, chaos and carnage had begun to spread rapidly throughout the old and new parts of King's Port.
From the north gate, a large group of snake people and demons rushed into the city, and broke into the commercial street and the first avenue where the crowds gathered, and began a large-scale frenzied massacre of civilians who were scattered and fleeing.
Although the professional soldiers of the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. are busy fighting fires everywhere, and even the assassins and agents of the Black Harbor Society are also helping them, due to the large number of snake people who have broken into the city, and the fact that there are many powerful True God Cultists lurking in the dark to attack the black hands, so despite their hard work, they are still outnumbered and unable to control the situation at all.
The City Guard in Port Kings suffered even heavier losses, and these internal order maintenance forces, which were mostly composed of ordinary people and novice professionals who had just passed the inauguration ceremony, were almost defenseless in the face of the large number of snake people and True God cultists, and their commanders tried to organize a defensive front several times, but never succeeded.
The first avenue of the port and the commercial streets of the old Dunclave aristocratic district soon fell into disarray, with the corpses of civilians lying on the ground and pools of blood flowing everywhere on the long streets.
The frenzied shouts and wails of the people replaced the laughter and singing at the beginning of the feast, and the pungent smell of blood and the stench of human corpses and choking smoke in the air replaced the smell of food and flowers in the streets.
The long tables full of food, which had just been arranged in the middle of the street for people to eat at will, were now disheveled, and many of the food on the tables was soaked in blood.
Dead human corpses and fragments of various corpses squeezed the tables and plates apart, spreading out on the long table that looked like a feast full of demons.
Blazing fires and dark smoke rose from all over the city, decorating the clear sky before King's Harbour with a post-apocalyptic appearance.
The snake man projection and the cultists smashed open the closed door of the house door from house to house, rushed into the house with a sharp knife in hand, and killed people mercilessly.
In the midst of this sudden chaos and terror, the Fertility Sacrifice of King's Harbour is rapidly degenerating from a paradise on earth to a purgatory on earth!
In the face of this sudden misfortune, Marcy Frank, the military minister of King's Port, can be said to be anxious.
His manpower was simply not enough to deal with such a massive chaos, and in their previous rehearsals for a coup d'état, they had never considered a massive invasion from demons and cultists.
As a result, the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. was not fully prepared for the situation, and even many of the Legion's professional squads still haven't been able to tell which side of the enemy they are dealing with.
While there was no doubt that demons were enemies, some noble families hired professional guards made it impossible for them to distinguish between friend and foe.
Most of the commanders of the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. had been instructed to prepare for the resistance of the professional guards hired by several large families from the aristocratic faction, and for this reason they were even ready to submit the "war mode" to the Holy Covenant.
But the demons and cultists who suddenly appeared in front of them made them a little confused.
While doing their best to extinguish the chaos caused by these evil monsters, they do not dare to trust the help of other professionals.
Marcy Frank is now doing his best to correct this order, and he has sent a number of heralds to the legion quarters in the major cities to deliver new orders, so that the commanders of the legions can unite with the city's pros who have taken up arms to resist to meet the enemy.
However, the transmission of this new order soon encountered obvious obstacles, as the number of snakemen pouring into the city from the north gate increased, the communication channel between the several major city garrisons of the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. was quickly cut and blocked, and the heralds were either killed on the way to the herald, or could not find a safe way to the cantonment point where the order needed to be transmitted, which made the chaos within the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. not only not alleviate in the slightest, but on the contrary, gradually began to worsen.
Some of the Legion squads, which have been chaotic due to purposeless battles and orders that do not correspond to the reality of the battlefield, have begun to attack other classes.
Without warning, they suddenly challenge any armed target they come across, claiming on the spot that their opponents are the traitors who colluded with Hell and the culprits responsible for the series of tragedies in King's Port.
Marcy Frank is now a big eight, how he wished he had listened to Kane's warning about the threat of the Cult of God yesterday and made a targeted arrangement - until this moment came, he and the Frank family had been wary of the Cult of God, but they also held a similar view to Wood VI, that the Church of God could only play a supporting role in a possible coup d'état in King's Harbor.
Because their base camp is still in Kegistan, thousands of miles away.
However, now it has been proven that cults like the True God Cult, which has the shadow of the Demon King behind it, have an unreasonable range of activities and destructive power.
They can inflict great harm and suffering on any human kingdom at any time and anywhere if necessary.
However, by this moment it was too late to realize that this was too late, and all Marcy could do now was to do his best to create a safe zone in the large square at the entrance of the palace, and at the same time try to send fast and stealthy professions such as the Assassin class and the Transfiguration Druid class as messengers to pass orders and information on him.
At the same time, the streets of King's Harbour were in a state of terrible chaos.
The Cult of God's top officials in King's Haven and Magda, the "Blood Witch", have finally confirmed the location of the six altars that will be activated.
Magda immediately ordered all the caretakers of the sub-altars to take a large number of elite snake men and "missionaries" to protect the sub-altars that were about to be activated, while she rushed to the altar of bounty in the center of the main square in front of the port of Kings alone, under the cover of illusion.
Hidden underneath that altar was the main altar of the True God Cult's blood sacrifice, and Magda's ultimate purpose in coming to King's Harbor was to activate it with her own hands.
As for the materials needed to sacrifice after the altar is activated?
It's better to take it from Wood VI.
But since Magda discovered that an unknown legendary powerhouse had appeared in the battle in the palace, she had no hope that she would be able to successfully obtain the heart and soul of Wood VI as a sacrifice.
However, even without Wood VI's heart and soul, she still had a way to activate the main altar.
Because that's what she's here for—to use another sacrificial offering given to her by Beria, the King of Lies, as the key to activate the main altar!
