When the battle broke out, the innocent believers were immediately implicated—but when the bright red color bloomed all around, the overseer Rubens looked forward with a cold face, and stood there like a steel statue without mercy under his frozen expression.

The battles in the era of cold weapons can only be described as "brutal". When chaos erupted, the sound and atmosphere from the pavement were absolutely unimaginable to modern people - the blades flashed with cold light, each swing brought out a large amount of blood, the separation of flesh, broken arms and legs, and the heart-rending screams and angry shouts were simply deafening...

The defenseless believers screamed, and were even hacked to death by the "Viper Cross" killer ten meters away from the overlord, but Rubens turned a blind eye, and still continued to bless the temple guards, and his eyes did not stop at the civilians for a moment.

Although such an indifferent attitude to life was necessary at this time, Bishop Benjamin next to him could not help but feel a little chill in his heart - because it was all planned for a long time!

In other words, the sacrifice of the believers had already been foreseen, and the scene of a large number of casualties of the believers at this time was not at all expected - in order to remove the cancer of the "pit viper cross" at one time, in order to allow the opponent's manpower to appear without reservation, the overlord planned from the beginning to let the believers close to him, and deliberately let the enemy hide in it...

When talking about this matter a few days ago, Benjamin still objected, but Rubens's sentence that "necessary sacrifices cannot be avoided" coldly rejected his suggestion that the official level crushes people to death, and within the sect, Benjamin does not have enough say to continue to speak...... Therefore, at this time, he could only try to apply the "restoration" magic to those who were closer, and as for those who were far away or could not be seen, he could only silently sigh and give up the rescue plan.

War is brutal after all.

The believers of the "Pit Viper Cross" are not weak, all of them are good players at the basic level of 8 or even 10, and the ordinary believers and soldiers are completely knocked down as if they were chopping melons and vegetables - and when these rioters collide with the temple guards who have been blessed by "strength", "defense" and "fighting spirit" three times, it is as if they have finally hit the waves of the embankment, and they suddenly stopped...

The cacophony of shouts cleared up, and the believers in the vicinity of the Overseer had already run away in a matter of minutes, while Rubens himself stood still with his scepter in hand, looking like he had not taken the assassination seriously in the slightest, and had made a gesture of preserving his strength.

At the same time, because of the distance, the nobles were completely in a state of "onlookers" at this time. Some noblewomen and young ladies screamed to retreat, but most of the old nobles with titles stood where they were, and took immediate action—they ordered their retainers to go up to help clear the heretics, and try to relieve the bishop.

However, because it was a formal occasion, there were not many retainers who were really qualified to carry weapons and participate in the battle, but the more than 20 people who rushed up immediately tilted the scales of victory towards the "Rosicrucian" temple.

When all this happened, Roddy, who was standing in the far corner, still didn't move, the "stealth technique" made him merge with the shadows under the balcony, the short bow in his hand was gently carried, the "burst arrow" was already on the bow platform, he breathed steadily, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze scanned the chaotic battle situation in the distance.

"It's still early..."

When his whisper sounded, Rubens, who had never moved in the distance, seemed to finally... Moved.

"Really...... Enough!"

The golden scepter snapped, and with a "click" of shattering, it seemed as if the solid floor had been shattered by some kind of force - followed by an invisible impact that exploded... Golden prayers appeared around the guards, and each Templar appeared on their bodies with a "divine shield" that absorbed damage.

This group skill is a powerful magic that can only be released at level 20, and it is extremely energy-consuming to cast, but it also shows that Rubens' strength is far from being something that this group of infidels can provoke.

"Gallup!

Cold words echoed in the square. The sound of the fight seemed to be suppressed all of a sudden—but in fact, it was the illusion of silence after the "Divine Shield shield" blocked most of the swords: the group shield technique was almost equivalent to an "invincible technique" that lasted for 3 to 6 seconds in a battle of this scale, and it sounded like only damage absorption, but the actual effect was far greater than the literal meaning.

The temple guards were all elite who followed Rubens, and they had already tacitly agreed with the Overlord, so at the moment when the magic was cast, they directly gave up their defense, and all of them counterattacked the infidels with an unreserved attack!

The defensive circle, which had always been shrinking, had been compressed to the extreme before, and the counterattack that broke out in an instant at this time made the attacking "Pit Viper Cross" killers suddenly unable to react, and seven or eight people were hacked to death on the spot, and by the time they reacted, the nobles' retainers had already joined the battle from the side......

It seems clear that the defeat of these murderous Assassins is assured.

But just as the infidel was about to be annihilated, a purple light suddenly flashed around the Overarch, as if an invisible force had suddenly enveloped the cylindrical guard.

"Shadow Purification!"

A hoarse voice came from not far away, and the shattered "Divine Blessing Shield" immediately announced the invalidity of this "little invincible", followed by three pitch-black "Shadow Arrows"——

"Puff puff!"

The soldier holding the shield tried to block the attack of this spell, but unexpectedly, even the human shield was directly pierced, and the whole body was knocked out, and the person was already dead when he fell to the ground...

Such a powerful spell is an unusually intuitive representation of the difference between "advanced class" and "basic class".

Among the chaotic crowd that had retreated, a cloaked figure walked first, with a thin figure with a mocking smile on his face, and a short staff with a small arm length in his hand, it was none other than "Snake Fang" Gallup, who raised his hand and released a shadow arrow again, and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that the famous Bishop Rubens still knows my name. ”

As he stood still, forty or fifty people walked out of the chaotic crowd behind him, including the team of adventurers that Roddy had encountered earlier!

Almost as soon as they walked out of the crowd, several strong spellcasters in this team immediately threw out three "fireball spells" one after another, and swept away a group of noble private soldiers directly in front of them - some noble retainers who had dodged the attack wanted to rush over to attack them, but as soon as they took a few steps closer, they saw the bald strong man more than two meters tall rushing out like lightning, and knocked three or four people out together with a "bang"...

There was a person who followed and wanted to slash with a long sword, but he was directly smashed off his neck by this guy's extremely fast punch, and his body ran out a few steps, and he fell to the ground with a "plop" and died on the spot.

Picking up the long sword on the ground casually, the strong man seemed to throw it out casually, and "poof" directly nailed it to the head of a noble retainer who was running over next to him!

Blood and brains spurted to the ground, and the corpses that fell directly to the ground rolled to the ground, and the terrifying scene made the temple guards feel a great deal of pressure.

"Rubens, long time no see. ”

Gallup's tone was playful, and he then turned his gaze to the side, "Long story short, Lady Akasha and I have been ordered to take you to Hell, and we hope your journey ...... Pleasant. ”

At this time, the twenty-seven infidels who were still alive plus these forty or fifty had exceeded seventy, and as he finished speaking, a figure appeared again in Rubens's procession, and there were twenty or so many of them, faintly led by a woman in a gray robe and veil.

The appearance of Akasha and her men brought the number of "Viper Crosses" to nearly 100, and more than 13 advanced class killers were also included!

By now, the intention of the "pit viper cross" has become more obvious. They're not just trying to "assassinate" the two bishops, they're trying to kill the Temple guards with Rubens and Benjamin once and for all!

From the initial assassination of 8 people, to the raid of 40 people, and now to the siege of nearly 100 people, the reason why the "Pit Viper Cross" did this was not stupid, but deliberately waiting for the Temple guards to get together and prepare to "wrap up" at one time - although these heretics only had a slight advantage in numbers at this time, but counting the strong ones with the "advanced class" and the Gallup with the advanced level of 28, Bishop Rubens's team immediately became precarious!

The shadow energy gathered in front of him, and the dark herd Gallup, nicknamed "Snake Fang", played with the staff in his hand, and the hypocritical smile hung on his face like a mask, as if to tease the prey that was about to die, he bowed slightly, and said softly: "I know you still have two teams hidden in the shadows that have not appeared... So I'm offering you this great gift, what do you think?"

Gallup's words clearly meant that he was sure of his own - it was clear that he would not be afraid of the two forces that Rubens had prepared behind him!

The scuffle gradually came to a halt as the situation changed dramatically, and each side stepped back a little.

The Templar guards couldn't help but look terrified when they heard Gallup's words, their arms holding weapons and shields trembling from the fatigue of the battle, and the undisguised gasps echoing from under their helmets... And not to mention the pressure brought to them by "snake teeth", Rubens, who bore the brunt of the problem, was at this time... A chuckle interrupted Gallup's desire to continue talking.

"Huh. ”

The Templar guard holding the shield was gently pushed away by Rubens, and the figure in the red robe slowly walked out of the center of the line, and the golden scepter echoed crisply every time it touched the ground. Rubens's steps were steady and steady, with a calm smile on his face all the time, and Gallup, who was not far away, frowned slightly.

Rubens stood at the front of the line, with only four shield-wielding guards standing in front of him, left and right, and behind him was Bishop Benjamin, who followed in close steps.

"Gallup, your plan has been going on since half a year ago, right?"

His words made Gallup clench the staff in his hand slightly.

As if sensing that something was wrong, Gallup narrowed his triangular eyes and replied tentatively, "You know quite well. ”

"Of course I know. ”

Rubens didn't care about the other party's cold gaze, his fingers rubbed the complicated patterns on the handle of the staff, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, the expression of "I'm going to have a showdown" couldn't be more obvious, after making a spell casting gesture with his left hand without a trace, he lightly smacked the scepter, and a warm breath spread out in all directions - the "group recovery technique" quickly restored the injured temple guards to their original state, and with the change in the atmosphere of the entire team, the overseer spread his palms and said softly: " Pastor Akasha told me all this, so I knew it all right. ”

"When are you going to attack, what tactics are you going to use, how many will you ......," he pointed to his head, "I may be stronger than you remember." ”
