178 A mother

"Paimon Knight, for your hard work all the way to escort you, the people of Sacred and Fort Colomon will always remember your sacrifice. The Bishop of Seychelles said mildly, "This warlord is a high-ranking priest sent by the Metropolitan Bishop, and you have all seen her fighting power, and I think she is more capable of putting this thing in the hands of the archbishop than we all." ”

The Bishop of Seychelles paused, then smiled detachedly: "My mission is accomplished. ”

"......" Paimon Knight was silent, he seemed to see something.

"What's wrong? What's that? What are you talking about? Allen, who followed him, was a little puzzled and asked repeatedly.

Agni followed, and he looked at Falling Rain with questioning eyes, but Falling Rain shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't understand what was happening.

The Bishop of Seychelles glanced around, and the knights and guards were attracted to this side and looked over one after another. He sighed, then said, "Now that the matter has come to this, it's time to tell the truth." The warriors fought bloodily, and we can't keep it a secret from you. ”

Paimon Knight opened his mouth, but finally lowered his hand, not stopping the Seychelles Bishop's next words.

"Actually, you should also wonder why there are always ghoul groups chasing us, why there are always ghoul groups blocking our way in front of us, why the ghouls can never be killed, and even the ghouls a few blocks away are participating in the siege of us." Said the Bishop of Seychelles.

The surrounding warriors whispered, and it was clear that these questions had been haunting their minds for a long time.

Agni turned his head, and Luo Yu was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other silently, and then looked at the Bishop of Seychelles again.

"It's all because of this thing." Seychelles said as he pulled out the contents of his folded bag.

It was a small holy coffin, the length of a human arm's arm, the size of a palm. Although not very gorgeous, the holy light and mist that permeate the surface give people a hazy beauty.

"The divine power on the coffin insulates the fluctuations in it, so the ghoul group cannot accurately locate us, but once the coffin is opened," said the Bishop of Seychelles, who opened the coffin halfway, and a terrible cry rang out, and a stench of unknown energy poured out, and the warriors in this basement were disgusted.

In just an instant, the Bishop of Seychelles closed the coffin, not daring to expose its contents to the air too much. However, even for this moment, the group of ghouls on the ground was agitated.

"Whew!" "Roar!" Even underground, you can clearly feel the earth-shattering roar of tens of thousands of ghoul groups, and the ghoul groups that know the target location begin to try to attack from various directions, and some even start digging directly into the ground, and the defense of the underground warehouse is in jeopardy.

Not to mention the ordinary civilians outside, even the soldiers present couldn't help but turn pale under the riot of this wave of ghouls.

"This ...... What is it?! Alan couldn't help but groan.

Agni could see clearly, it was an ugly baby-like ghoul. He'd seen a lot of what a baby turned into a ghoul before, and that kind of evil simply sent chills down the fire's heart. But this ghoul sealed in the holy coffin is more than 10,000 times more evil than an ordinary baby ghoul! It's simply the limit of an insult to human corpses!

Agni looked at Falling Rain again, and Falling Rain was a little surprised and abrupt, apparently she had understood what was in it, and also understood the origin of all this commotion.

"I've always felt guilty for the soldiers and the people who died because of this thing, and I could have helped them more, but I couldn't." The Bishop of Seychelles said in a low voice, "I can't take any risks, I can't die, and this thing must not fall into the hands of ghouls!" Because this is the king of corpses, the center where the ghoul hordes receive orders and commands from the Abyss army! ”

Hearing this, the warriors' faces changed, first frightened and annoyed, and then as if they understood something, they shook their heads helplessly.

The King of the Corpse usually appears very rarely, and is usually only produced where the Abyss Army appears. Like the Eye Demon, it is a strategic demon with low combat effectiveness, and plays a role in communicating between the Abyssal Army and the ghoul hordes.

In fact, it was not the first time that Agni had seen the King of the Corpses, he had seen the crow with red eyes full of demonic brilliance in the illusion of the Emperor of the Thousand Eyes, and it was the King of the Corpses!

Generally speaking, the Corpse Kings are more difficult to deal with than the Eye Demons, as they come in a variety of forms, and no one knows exactly what form they appear in when they appear, whether it is a crow, a normal ghoul, or even a walking corpse. And the King of Corpses is also surrounded by an extremely large number of ghoul guards, which makes it difficult to tell which is the King of Corpses itself.

This time the Abyss army attacked Fort Collon, of course, it also needed an extremely large scale of ghouls as an auxiliary, otherwise it would be wishful thinking to confront Fort Colon head-on with less than 10,000 genuine demons and tens of thousands of monsters. Although no one knows how many Corpse Kings have been put into Fort Colon by the Abyss Army, judging from the number of infected and transformed in Fort Cologne, I am afraid that there are at least ten or more.

When there is only one King of the Corpse, once the body of the King of the Corpse is found as before the fire, then the destruction of the King of the Corpse will also reduce the combat effectiveness of the entire group of ghouls due to the loss of coordination, just like those ghouls in the ancient castle, even the Black Tulip Brigade can be used as one for ten.

But once multiple corpse kings are connected to the network, there is no way to eliminate the ghoul hordes by simply killing.

“…… Actually, we would have had enough time to withdraw to the Upper City Fortress. "Coincidentally, however, the King of the Corpse was placed in the womb of a pregnant woman who was being treated in the church of Old Foss. ”

The bishop of Seychelles said with a normal face about this terrible tragedy, obviously after being parasitized by the king of corpses on the baby in the womb, what a tragic fate awaits the pregnant woman, which made many warriors have unbearable looks on their faces.

Sure enough, the Bishop of Seychelles continued: "We can't tell the difference between the King of the Corpse and the ordinary ghouls, and even if we find the King of the Ghouls, we can't stop it from merging with the ghoul horde, but now that we think about it, we have to sigh at the greatness of maternal love. ”

Just like the Eye Demon, the King of the Corpses also has escape skills beyond the usual combat power. Just by comparison, even if Agni was almost escaped by the Eye Demon in his full state, these ordinary warriors were at most about the same as the Agni Flame in their normal state, how could they possibly catch the King of Corpses?

"The pregnant woman already knew that her baby was infected, that her womb had been completely torn apart, and that she would be torn out at any moment by a transformed baby ghoul, whose eyes were bloodshot in pain, and her voice was hoarse, and her arms were covered with bruises. In the face of this terrible pain, the nuns shed tears and tried to help her end this pain. The Bishop of Seychelles continued, "But...... The pregnant woman refused. She decided to watch her child be born at the last moment of her life, wanting to take a final look at the crystallization of herself and her lover, even though she had long known that her child had become a terrible devil. ”

The Bishop of Seychelles' voice was a little low, and it was clear that witnessing such a tragedy was not a good experience.

"We should be grateful to this great mother, it is her persistence that we did not directly purify the infected baby, otherwise we would have nothing to gain except for simply killing a corpse king, and the ghoul group would still not be threatened in the slightest."

Eventually, the baby ghoul tore the pregnant woman's abdomen from the inside, burrowing out with its mother's blood. Seeing that terrifying baby face and the aura of endless evil and terror that gave people to people, I immediately understood the fact that it was the king of corpses. We were so far away that even if we reacted immediately, we wouldn't have been able to capture it, so we could only watch it escape. ”

"But it was at this time that a scene came that shocked us all." The Bishop of Seychelles closed his eyes and lamented, "The pregnant woman was not intimidated by the pain of the disembowelment and the fear of the King of Corpses, she hugged the King of Corpses tightly as if he were still her lovely child, and smiled as if she had seen the loveliest child in the world, enjoying the greatest happiness in the world." She hugged her so tightly that even the King of Corpses couldn't break free for a while! She held the child in her arms and placed it on her chest, as if honey was about to flow from her smiling eyes. ”

"She hugged the King of Corpses and said the last words in this world."

"'Oh, feed.' ”

"That smile is the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in my life."

After the Bishop of Seychelles said this, he choked up for a moment and could not say a word.

Several of the surviving nuns recalled the scene and wept silently. The soldiers present, no matter what status they had and how powerful their strength was, all had red eyes at the moment, and their mood was extremely depressed.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't save every tragedy.

"Later...... How's it going? "Allen can be said to be the most angry one at first, but now, he can't blame anything anymore, but cares about what happened later.

The Bishop of Seychelles stabilized his mood before continuing: "The King of Corpses also seems to have a trace of the original baby's feelings, and he was also shocked by this mother, and even made the action of sucking breast milk. And it was this moment of hesitation that I sealed it with the holy coffin. He paused, then said, "When the dust settled, we found out that the mother had died smiling, and that it was all her last strength." ”

There was no extra noise from the crowd, only a helpless sigh.

Not only was the fire silent, but even the always arrogant rain was holding his hands on his chest and bowing his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
