Chapter 286: The Asylum of the Chapel (Two Chapters in One)

Divine golden light continued to spread across the clearing, eventually forming a huge ball that floated in the air.

Catherine's chant of magic continued, and now that she was more than half complete, it would take a few minutes for the light magic to wipe out the skeleton knights along with the skeleton archers.

However, the skeleton knights had been trying to interrupt Catherine's spell casting, but they had not been able to get close to her because of the wall of light.

"How does it feel wrong? Unless that guy is undead, how can he be so calm in this situation? ”

Roland felt the strange atmosphere in the air and couldn't help but mutter.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but from the moment he was about to release his magic, he felt as if something had been overlooked.

Just as Roland was thinking, Sister Nancy's shout was heard in the distance: "Pastor Roland, come back quickly, you are not facing a team of undead, but WWW.UUXS.CC a neat army of the undead!" You can't stop them, get back inside the church. ”

At this time, when Sister Nancy saw Roland's figure, she hurriedly yelled at him.

In fact, she only found out about this news just now, because the middle-aged businessman deliberately concealed this important news when he asked for help.

In this regard, the reason given by the middle-aged businessman was: he was afraid that Roland would leave directly after they learned the news.

!

Indeed, most people choose to flee from this ghost place when they encounter such a situation. After all, it's a neat army of the undead, and if you go a little late, you'll become their companions.

The only thing Nancy can do now is bring Roland back to the church before he meets the army of the undead.

Only by staying in a church shrouded in light can you get temporary shelter.

Lady Luck favors. As soon as Nancy came out of the church, she sensed a strong light elemental aura not far away, so she rushed over, otherwise she would not have been able to find Roland's trace so quickly.

"What? Army of the Dead...... I see, no wonder I always feel wrong. It turned out that they were just scouts, and now they are waiting for reinforcements to arrive. ”

Hear this. Roland frowned, no longer hesitated, and hurriedly said to Catherine beside her: "Catherine, give up this magic, now we need to go back to the church." ”

In the face of an army of the undead, there is only one way to die if you stay where you are.

The best thing to do is to return to Aston City, which will be much safer with the protection of the army.

But now that the distance is too far, they must not be able to outrun the tireless undead.

So Roland had to do as Sister Nancy said. Let's go back to that chapel, presumably Sister Nancy won't joke with her life.

"Reverend Roland, is there really an army of the undead? But those guys .........."

Catherine hesitantly glanced at the undead creature not far away and said.

She didn't want to give up this good opportunity to show her strength in front of Roland, especially when the distance between her and Roland was getting farther and farther away.

"Leave them alone, now we're going to dodge the army of the undead that pass through here."

"Yes, Reverend Roland."

This. Catherine didn't say anything more, and followed directly behind Roland. Run briskly in the direction of the chapel.

As the distance was not very far, Roland and the others soon returned to the door of the chapel.

"Come on in, Reverend Roland."

Sister Nancy slowly pushed the entrance door of the church and said to him slowly.

Through the crack in the door that had not yet closed, it was clearly visible that the middle-aged couple was sitting inside. Perhaps because of Sister Nancy's treatment, the woman had regained consciousness. She was leaning into her husband's arms.

But Catherine looked a little strange, and she kept staring blankly into the church, muttering repeatedly, "Light...... I saw the light. ”

"Thanks, Catherine, let's come in."

Roland answered. Then he pulled Catherine, who was a little stunned beside her, into the chapel.

As soon as they entered the chapel, there was a muffled bang, and the entrance door was slammed shut by Sister Nancy.

However, the moment the entrance door was closed, the chapel hall was also darkened. The hazy glass was still a little shiny, but it wasn't enough to illuminate the entire hall.

"I'm glad I was able to find you, otherwise...... You will face an endless army of the undead. At least that's what the couple said, there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of undead creatures coming towards Aston City. ”

Sister Nancy lit the candle on the wall and said to Roland with a solemn expression: "By the way, Pastor Roland, who is this lady priestess?" ”

After the initial nervousness, Sister Nancy noticed Catherine standing next to Roland.

Sister Nancy was very sensitive to the aura of light, and she could clearly feel that this young lady priest was very strong, even stronger than her.

"Her name is Catherine, and she's a good friend of mine, and she's here to help me. Catherine, the Nancy nun. ”

Roland smiled bitterly, quickly explained Catherine's origin, and introduced the two of them to the seat.

"Catherine? The name is familiar, but I guess I'm mistaken. ”

"Sister Nancy, let's get down to business! Can this church really keep the undead creatures at bay? ”

Roland asked suspiciously, looking at the walls that all showed their age.

In fact, it was no wonder that he thought so, because these walls were not thick, and it was really difficult for people to use them to withstand the attack tide of undead creatures.

"It doesn't matter, this church will definitely be able to deter those fellows, and the light of the goddess of light will envelop us and give shelter to her followers."

Sister Nancy tapped her little head heavily, then looked at the statue of Light at the end.

The Light will surely banish the evil undead creatures from this area, ...... It will definitely be so.

"Alas............"

Roland looked at the little girl who had fallen into a state of frenzy and couldn't help but sigh.

It turns out that this little guy is a fanatical believer in the goddess of light, and I hope that what she just said is not something she imagined, otherwise everyone will be buried in this place.

And I wonder if Aston City has been informed of this news?

No, you can't put that hope in the guards.

"Looks like I'll have to contact His Royal Highness if he can deal with this batch of undead creatures. Maybe you can win over some people. ”

Roland groaned, then closed his eyes and tried his best to connect with the great prince Wicks.

This news must be reported to him, and then his army must be rushed here as best they can.

"Mr. Priest, Mr. Priest, I think it's a conspiracy of the Karen Empire next door. Because I saw a lot of armor belonging to the Karen Empire in those undead. And since some time ago, news has begun to circulate among us businessmen that Karen is preparing to invade Bluman. ”

Shortly after Roland finished communicating with Wicks, a strange thing caught his attention.

I saw the middle-aged businessman sitting not far away slowly walking over, bowing with guilt on his face, and then said to him in a stiff tone.

Hearing this, Roland couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It doesn't look like he's lying, and the signs of war tend to circulate in the businessman's circles first. Because those guys will definitely take advantage of the war to make a lot of money.

But most importantly. These armies of the undead are linked to the forces of the Karen Empire.

According to the information that Roland knew, Prince Lorenzo had a connection with a Karen army hidden nearby, maybe this matter had something to do with him?

Wait a minute...... Could it be that Prince Lorenzo can't wait and is about to seize the throne now?

Thinking of this, Roland's expression couldn't help but become solemn.

If that were the case, he would have to take action, and even the body would have to be rushed back from that graveyard immediately.

"Are you sure you're right?"

Roland took a deep breath and stared at the middle-aged businessman. Said.

"Yes...... It's true, I'm absolutely not mistaken. That's definitely the armor of the Karen Empire. ”

"Well, thank you for the reminder, you should take care of your wife first."

Roland nodded, waving the guy away, he needed to think about the doubts about the matter.

Merely...... While there is a good chance that Lorenzo will rebel, this is just his guess. Maybe it was the Karen army that was attacked by an army of the undead. And then they are transformed into undead.

"Wicks, don't let your army leave Aston City, but do your best to tell the Sanctuary of Light the news."

Roland hesitated, but eventually changed the order he had given to Prince Wicks.

It would undoubtedly be the most dangerous decision to let the troops loyal to Wicks leave Aston City. After all, Lorenzo's true intentions were not yet understood.

Moreover, the removal of evil undead creatures was originally the mission of the Temple of Light.

Now all it takes is to get the news to the ears of the Temple, and trust that they will be able to handle it, but it will take some time.

Let's hope this chapel will last until then.

It was at this time that a noise from outside the chapel caught everyone's attention.

You can clearly hear the sound of rustling through the walls to everyone's ears, mixed with the smell of beastly roars.

That's not good news!

From the dense footsteps, it was a large army of the undead, as the middle-aged merchant had said.

Thinking of this, a trace of cold sweat couldn't help but appear on Roland's forehead.

If it weren't for Sister Nancy's reminder, I'm afraid he would have been surrounded by the undead.

"Here ...... the Undead"

Roland frowned, and looked nervously at the entrance door, as if he was afraid that the undead would destroy the door in an instant.

In fact, it was not only Roland who felt this way, Catherine was ready for battle, and the two merchant couples hugged each other, as if they wanted to reduce some of the fear in each other's hearts.

The whole church was plunged into a strange atmosphere, and everyone did not even dare to exhale the atmosphere.

As time passed, nothing had changed outside the church, not even the slightest sound of impact.

Don't the spirits of the dead know they're hiding in this church?

In an instant, everyone in Roland breathed a sigh of relief, after all, no one wanted to be targeted by a group of damned undead.

But this harmonious scene did not last long, and a muffled bang came from the entrance door, as if something had hit the thick wooden door.

"Don't worry, the Light will protect us."

Sister Nancy sat down on the bench very calmly and said softly.

But everyone, including Roland, didn't believe her words. Because under the constant impact from the outside, the wooden door has cracked, and a trace of dust falls from it, as if it could be destroyed at any time.

"Catherine, get ready to fight, and we'll try to get Sister Nancy and those two guys out of the way."

Roland looked at the entrance door that was about to be knocked open, and said in a deep voice to Catherine beside her.

Now he's a vain body, and Catherine is a card creature, and it doesn't matter if the two of them die, they'll be reborn again anyway.

But Sister Nancy and the couple were different, they were just ordinary human beings.

So if the undead rush in, the first thing they do is to make sure that Sister Nancy and the others can leave safely.

"Yes, Reverend Roland!"

And Catherine understood the reason for this decision, and agreed without even thinking about it.

It's just an ordinary decision of theirs, but it makes Sister Nancy's gaze change somewhat, like the strange gaze of discovering that a bastard is actually a good person.

"Sister Nancy, is there a back door to leave the church?"

"No, we don't need a back door, because the Light will protect us."

Sister Nancy shook her head, smiled slightly, and said to Roland.

"But ......"

Roland just wanted to say something, but the next scene completely made him swallow the words that came to his lips.

I saw that just as the entrance gate was about to collapse, there was a soft hum, and the statue of the goddess of light burst out with a burst of dazzling golden light, directly enveloping the entire chapel.

As for the gate that was about to be broken, it was covered with a layer of golden light under the light of the Holy Light, as if it were gilded.

In an instant, after the entrance door was covered with golden light, the sound outside immediately fell silent.

Are the undead gone?

Roland pondered for a moment, and finally decided to use his mental power to explore outside.

As his mind moved, his spiritual power was like a thin thread, quickly extending towards the outside of the church.

"It's ............"

Looking at it this way, Roland noticed something that shocked him.

I saw that in the outside world, there was no end to the white sea, and those skeletons completely surrounded the chapel 360°, without a gap, just like a tourist attraction on holidays.

But what struck him was that there was a blank space within five meters of the church, and not a single skeleton dared to take half a step.

Could it be because of that burst of light just now?
