In the imperial capital, as the sun rose, the originally silent landlords became lively again, and all kinds of people walked out of their houses and began their day's work.

On the same day, it was a special day, and countless civilians rushed from all directions to the vicinity of a palatial palace, which was the church of the Imperial Capital of Hospice Church.

The churches of the Imperial Capital Anning Church are different from the churches in other places, and most of the churches in other places have been built in a simple and spacious manner. The churches in the imperial capital are built extremely magnificently, as gorgeous and luxurious as the palaces of the imperial palace, and do not look like a religious church at all.

Such churches are clearly contrary to the doctrine of incorruptibility established by the Bishop of Tranquility, and there is not only one such church, but also several other large cities. One thing these churches have in common is that they are headed by bishops in power.

An hour later, more and more civilians came to the Tranquility Church, and everyone lined up to put their money into the Tranquility box.

Anning box, also called Anning Township. In the parlance of the church, as long as you donate money, then you will have the opportunity to enter the peaceful country after you die, and you will no longer have to suffer all kinds of suffering.

A gray-haired, wrinkled woman dressed in patched linen trembled and threw a few copper coins into the tranquil box.

Then the old woman stepped aside and fell to her knees with her knees slowly bent. Then he closed his eyes with his palms together and prayed sincerely.

A clergyman from the Church of Anning next to him saw this scene and stepped forward to drive the old woman away.

"This old man, this is not a place to pray, please go if you pray."

Before the young clergyman could finish speaking, his companion, a middle-aged man with brown hair, stopped him and said, "Forget about her, this old woman has been coming every day for a month." Even if you get rid of her, you'll sneak back here and continue praying when you're not looking. ”

"But if he wants to pray, why don't he go to church and pray, and kneel here?" The young clergyman asked.

Hearing the question of the young clergyman, his companion looked at him in surprise, and then saw his immature face.

"You look like a clergyman from another church, right?" Companion asked.

The young clergy nodded, "I served the gods in the church there in Liangcheng some time ago. ”

"No wonder, you don't know. I'm telling you now, the prayers in the Imperial Church need to be paid for," the companion continued, pointing to the old woman who was kneeling on the ground in earnest prayer.

"Do you see this old woman dressed like someone who has money to enter the prayer hall? And if I'm not mistaken, the copper plates donated by the old woman just now are her food today. ”

"Huh? Isn't it forbidden for believers to donate their own food and clothing money? The young clergyman looked surprised.

"That's right, but this is the Imperial Capital Church, and the Imperial Capital Church has its own canons. And boy, I see that you have a good reminder for you. In the imperial capital in the future, no matter what you see or hear, you should not be able to see, just do your own job. His companion kindly reminded him.

"Hmm," the young clergyman nodded, and he had noticed that the Imperial Capital Church was different from other places in the past few days.

Then the young clergy couldn't help but ask, "What does this old man come to pray for every day?" ”

"Huh? It seems that the companion thought for a moment, and then replied, "I think it must be that the old woman's only granddaughter has been missing for a few months, and since then the old woman has become nervous and has come here all day to pray. ”

"So this old man is here to pray to the gods and bless his granddaughter?" Young clergyman.

"Peace be blessed, hehe," his companion smiled self-deprecatingly, "maybe." ”

After speaking, the companion muttered to himself in a voice so small that only he could hear it: "Who can bless whose peace in this world." ”

The two didn't talk much after that, and continued to maintain order in the team of the Tranquility Box. I watched as the people in tattered clothes took a few copper plates they had saved so hard and put them into boxes, asking for the blessings of the gods.

And all of these people who came to pray emitted the same breath, which was called numbness. It is only when they pray that a glimmer of hope burns in their numb eyes. I hope that after I die, I can enter Anning Township and no longer suffer all kinds of suffering.

In this country full of darkness, chaos, madness, and hunger, all the oppressed and exploited people at the bottom have become extremely numb, and no longer have any hope for the future life. It's not that they haven't resisted, but they've been struggling all the time, hoping to break free from this dark quagmire. However, they struggled for so long, and still did not break free from this dark quagmire.

Because the empire is so strong, so strong that even if all the people at the bottom stand up, the empire can still hold them down again. Countless rebellions, countless roars, all suppressed by the Empire.

No matter how united the people were, numbers were of no use in the face of the powerful Imperial Envoys.

Just like all the ethnic groups in the north united, the so-called 300,000 army could not last a minute in front of the imperial pillar Estes, and everyone was frozen into ice sculptures.

Against this backdrop, the oppressed people are in dire need of a spiritual belief to survive in this dark society.

The Church of Tranquility came into being, and nearly 70% of the people in the entire empire were believers in the Church of Tranquility. And the entire 7th floor of the Anning Church is full of people from the empire, or nobles.

The people believe in the so-called Anning Township, even if they can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, they have to save a few copper plates and donate them to the church, praying that they can enter Anning Township after their death. And the vast majority of this donation went into the pockets of several bishops and vicarships.

The so-called Anning Township is not another kind of exploitation.

The interior of the church, the interior of the church is as magnificent as the exterior of the church, with all kinds of gold and silver decorations, glittering under crystal chandeliers.

At this time, the hall of the church was filled with all kinds of richly dressed nobles and clergy, eating all kinds of fine food and wine, and talking elegantly. In the middle of the hall, a beautiful melody played, and some people began to dance. It didn't look like a church at all, but a ballroom ball held by some nobleman.

"Oops, hey, I feel a little dangerous around me recently, and I asked the minister for more bodyguards, but I didn't expect to ask for General Estes, the pillar of the empire."

A sturdy man sat on a chair made of gold, while the man was surrounded by four beautiful women, massaging, feeding, or holding him in their arms.

Beric looked at the group of special security forces in front of him who had recently gained fame in the imperial capital with a smile on his face, with the posture of a superior person.

"I'm a little flattered that General Estes personally came to protect me." Beric opened his hands and continued: "This banquet is for all of you, here are my most trusted partners and my most loyal subordinates, please enjoy it. ”

"No need to enjoy it, Your Majesty's order is to protect you, just prepare a few rooms for us." Estes Road.

"No problem, hehe," said Berlik, with a slight smile on his face, "there are a lot of interesting things in my church, would you like to experience them?" ”

"We're not interested in those, I'm more curious than this," Estes looked up at the ceiling, "if those little mice hiding on the ceiling are your people." ”

Beric was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "It's worthy of General Estes, this is all noticed by you, come down." ”

As soon as Burik's words fell, the next moment, 4 men with different upper bodies and different figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"They are the four ghosts of the new Huangquan Temple Rakshasa who are"

Before Beric could finish speaking, Estes directly interrupted him and said, "I don't want to know who they are, I just confirm if they are enemies." ”

At this time, the obese man among the four ghosts of the New Rakshasa took two steps forward and came to the front of the special security forces. Salivating looked at Estes and said, "We're not little mice, we're all here, how about everyone dance together to get in touch with each other?" ”

Estes looked coldly at the fat man in front of him, as did the rest of the Special Security Force.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense, and everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to this side.

"Hehe, General Estes, don't put on such a cold expression, waste such a beautiful face to laugh." As he spoke, the fat man stretched out his fat hands to Estes.

Swish!

The next moment, an astonishing chill erupted from Estes's body and swept through the entire hall. The temperature in the hall dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant, and everyone felt like they were back in winter.

When everyone came back to their senses, the fat man standing in front of Estes just now had turned into an ice sculpture, and the fat man still maintained the obscene smile just now.

Estes's gaze swept over Beric and the other three Rakshasa ghosts with a cold gaze, and said, "Now this place has been taken over by special natural forces, and all suspicious characters and special security forces have the right to cut them down first and then play." Enjoy your prom and don't bother me, you know? ”

Facing Estes's cold gaze, a drop of cold sweat appeared on Perik's forehead, and he hurriedly replied: "Understood, understood, I will definitely do my best to assist General Estes." ”

Then Beric turned to the clergy next to him and yelled, "What are you doing! Don't go and prepare a room for General Estes yet! ”

"Yes!" The clergy was so frightened that they snorted, then stepped forward to the special security forces and made a gesture of please.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me."

The special security forces followed the clergy out of the noisy ball hall.

Looking at their departing backs, Beric breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the ice sculpture in front of him, and said to the remaining three rakshasas: "You move him out and hammer him away to see if he is still alive?" ”

"Yes."

Looking at the ice sculpture that was moved out by the remaining three rakshasas, Beric cursed inwardly: Is this waste full of shit in its head? Is this madman Estes something you can mess with? Even your master and minister are just on an equal footing with her, and they are still laughing, and I think you have been keeping this smile now.

There are always people in life who think against common sense, and these people tend to despise everything. I think I'm very strong, I think I'm right. And this part of the people generally need to be beaten by society once before they become normal. Of course, not everyone is still alive after being beaten by society.

On the outskirts of the imperial capital, a beehive.

The swarm battle plan officially began, and the swarm electromagnetic transmitter was activated

In the verdant forest, huge black iron pillars were slowly erected, and countless birds were startled into the air.

On an open lawn on the hillside, the Pioneer troops were in full formation. Due to the successful application of levitation magic to the magic mecha, the equipment on the pioneers was even more frustrating at this time.

Armed with a Sky Penalty 5 sniper grenade launcher, he carries two Dragon 16 high-explosive rocket launchers on his back.

The Penalty 5 sniper grenade launcher alone will definitely give them the feeling of fire coverage, not to mention the addition of the Dragon 16 high-explosive bazooka.

If it weren't for the fact that an oversized ammo box would affect the Trailblazer's actions, the arsenal would consider each person's entire Griffin-like equipment full of missiles.

Let the enemy see what is called the light of great virtue in Great Xia, and the phobia of insufficient firepower.

"Start checking the equipment," Wu Feng ordered.

Given the order, the Pioneers checked their equipment and armor to see if they were working properly.

After all the pioneers had finished inspecting, Wu Feng continued: "Now repeat the mission objective, this mission The mission of our pioneer troops is to cover the Anning Church with fire and attract the attention of the entire imperial capital. ”

"If the two pillars of the Empire, Estes and Bud, arrive, then our task will be to contain the two of them for at least 5 minutes."

"If our movement doesn't attract Bud to him, then the 6th to 10th squads will immediately break away from the battle and attack the palace to lure Bud out."

"Got it!"

"Yes!" All the Trailblazers responded in unison.

Wu Feng's gaze swept over each of the pioneers and said, "I hope that during the celebration banquet, I can see each and every one of you." ”

Then, Wu Feng clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it in his heart, and said, "I am willing to dedicate everything to Great Xia, all for the emperor!" ”

All the pioneers also placed their right hands in their fists at the heart, and shouted: "Great Xia dedicates everything, everything for the emperor!" ”

"Mission begins!"

The next moment, the pioneers dispersed neatly and quickly, and then the flying machine behind the pioneers spread a steel wing. Sink your knees and leap hard.

Bang bang bang!

The figures of the pioneers jumped up, accompanied by loud noises and dust, and came to a height of seven or eight meters.

Levitation magic activates

The figures of the pioneers froze in the air, and then the steel wings behind them erupted several flames, and a huge thrust was formed in an instant.

Boom Boom!

The figures of the pioneers continued to fly high into the air, and the scene under their feet became smaller and smaller, and soon they saw the magnificent and majestic imperial capital in the distance.

After the altitude of the Pioneer troops reached 500 meters, the top of the swarm electromagnetic transmitter below slowly opened.

Swarm drones sorted

Woohoo!

The next moment, black shadows burst out from the black iron pillars, and countless swarms of drones took off into the air, and a torrent of steel quickly formed.

Woohoo blah blah!

Torrents of black steel flew across the sky, making bursts of roar, the sound of technology.

The Pioneer Force flew towards the Imperial Capital, and the torrent of steel behind them caught up and surrounded the Pioneer Army.

Waiting for the opportunity below, using the teleportation scroll at any time, teleporting into the palace of the night attack, everyone looked up at the torrent of steel in the sky.

Everyone was shocked by the overwhelming torrent of steel, and even the most unresponsive Hill looked at the sky with a blank expression.

"I don't know what that does, but these flying steel monsters give me a sense of crisis." Leonay felt a sense of crisis in the sky, and his whole body exploded.

"It's very dangerous," Red Hitomi subconsciously put her hand on the hilt of the demon knife.

At this time, Chelsea walked out of the group and said, "It's time for me to go, too." ”

Since Chelsea doesn't have any hard power herself, all her abilities are focused on hidden assassination. If she really wanted to fight, she couldn't even beat an ordinary Praetorian Guard, so Chelsea didn't participate in the operation to kill the minister.

Chelsea's mission now is to use her Imperial Gear to roam the battlefield and see if there are any injured enemies.

Two words: pick up the leak.

In the imperial capital, every 20 steps on the city wall, a soldier in armor stood straight on the city wall, observing the movement of the four weeks.

Due to the special security force established by Estes, he took over the security of the entire imperial capital. The City Guard is also under the jurisdiction of the Special Security Forces, as are the Guards. Now the entire land is out of the palace guards, and all the armed forces are in the hands of Estes.

Because of this, the city guards and guards changed their previous laziness under the strong hand of Estes. Everyone began to perform their duties uprightly, and the security of the entire imperial capital was dozens of times better than before.

Now, even if there is a night attack, the Guards and the City Guard will not be as late as they used to be for various reasons.

Of course, this also made some nobles very dissatisfied, because they were also under the rule of Estes. In particular, a member of the special security forces, Seleucus Bikitas.

This madman simply can't hold a trace of sand in his eyes, and during this time, they actually came to trouble them because their nobles played and killed a few commoners. It's just that a few animals have died, and we nobles have to go to jail, is there something wrong with our brains?

Buzz

The soldiers on the city wall heard a faint sound overhead, and all the soldiers looked up and saw a scene that they would never forget.

In the distant sky, a black river surged towards the ground, and the dense black shadows gave people a sense of oppression.

"Enemy attack!"

With a soldier's shout, everyone woke up.

Knock knock knock!

The soldiers near the alarm bell frantically rang the alarm bell, and as the first bell rang out, countless bells rang one after another.

The bell they rang was a warning for the imperial capital, but what they didn't know was that this bell was also their death knell, and they were ringing their own death knell.

Tick tick tick

The soldiers on the city wall suddenly heard a small and rapid "tick tick" sound, and before they could check where the sound came from, suddenly endless fires appeared under their feet.

Boom Boom Boom!!

Huge flames rose on the city walls, and in an instant, huge flames rose from the four walls of the imperial capital at the same time. The soldiers standing on it were engulfed in flames before they could even wail, and then they were wiped out.

Thousands of city guards were reduced to ashes in this instant, and the remaining city guards who were not standing on top of the city walls were also shattered by the massive shock wave that followed, and then died.

Boom Boom!

A huge explosion and heat wave swept through the entire imperial capital, and before everyone in the imperial capital could react from the bell, their ears were buzzed by the ensuing explosions.

Whether it was commoners, merchants, or nobles on the streets of the imperial capital, everyone stared blankly at the burning city walls.

More than ten seconds later, as the flames gradually dissipated, the city walls that had been towering and sheltered the imperial capital for thousands of years had become shattered. Huge cracks covered the entire wall, and in some places it had even collapsed.

An inexplicable smell permeated the entire imperial capital, which was the smell of gunsmoke.

"What's going on? How the city walls suddenly burst into flames! With the startled shouts of a richly dressed nobleman.

Everyone gradually came to their senses and looked at the shattered walls with a look of horror. People's faces gradually turned pale, and their pupils were full of fear, fear of the unknown.

"This is shelter, how could the thousand-year-old walls of the imperial capital suddenly become like this!"

"This is God's punishment, all because the imperial capital misunderstood, so God sent down the punishment!" A paciolite zealot fell to his knees, looking feverishly at the crumbling walls.

When he said this, the nearby peace caused the common people to pray to the city walls, asking the gods to forgive their sins.

A commoner dressed in coarse linen knelt on the ground, bowed to the wall, and said, "O great God, please forgive me, a lowly commoner."

As the commoner knelt, the other civilians followed suit, praying to the gods to forgive themselves for the sins of this lowly commoner.

And what are their own sins? There is no way to know, maybe they are not guilty at all, or maybe it is their fault to be a commoner.

In this country full of darkness, it is their sin not to be born into a powerful family.

Boom Boom!

At this time, there was a roar in the sky, and the dense swarm of bees and drones formed a black torrent of steel, pouring into the sky above the imperial capital.

Looking at the torrent of steel flying in the sky, the people of the imperial capital realized what fear was at this moment. Everyone opened their mouths wide, but they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that they would make a sound and attract the attention of the torrent of steel in the sky.

Start looking for a target

The torrent of steel gradually dispersed, and the swarm drones began to conduct a carpet search of the entire imperial capital, scanning the faces of everyone on the road. At the same time, some of them flew directly to the villas and bungalows where some nobles lived.

"Run!"

"Just kidding! What are these things flying in the sky, and why are there so many! ”

"Run away, it's a dangerous tide!"

At this moment, the whole place was in chaos, and all the pedestrians began to flee blindly. People pushed people, people squeezed people, and soon there were no less than 50 stampedes all over the place.

With the panic of the humans and the huge explosion, the horses responsible for pulling the carts also began to be chaotic, fleeing in all directions, trampling the humans along the way.

"Hurry up and escort me back to my manor, where there is a huge underground shelter!" A richly dressed nobleman roared.

The surrounding guards reacted instantly, and then all surrounded them, protecting the nobles in the middle.

Seeing the tall figures of the guards surrounding him, the nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, your horse has been frightened a little panicked just now, and it may be a bit dangerous to go back by carriage, so I suggest running all the way back." The captain of the guard suggested.

"Okay, then run back, hurry!"

Then the nobles, protected by more than a dozen strong guards, rushed all the way in the direction of their manor.

The streets were already in complete chaos, and the ranks of the nobles were blocked by the fleeing populace, which greatly slowed down.

Looking at the people running around the streets, the nobles roared: "Are you fools? Hurry up and draw your sword and hack all the civilians in our way! How dare you stand in my way! ”

"But, sir," the captain of the guard hesitated, if he cut it all the way back like this, it would kill a lot of people.

"It's nothing, don't you want to live anymore? Are you going to disobey my orders for the sake of these beasts?! Hurry up, draw your sword! The nobleman still roared.

The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the long sword at his waist and said, "Draw the sword!" Kill! ”

The other guards drew their weapons and slashed them at anyone in their path.

"Ahh Kill! ”

"Don't!"

As the guards continued to slash and kill civilians, the civilians in front saw that the guards were killing people indiscriminately, and they also got out of the way.

Sure enough, as long as I kill too many of these beasts, I won't dare to stand in my way, I'm so smart.

While the nobleman was complacent about his decision, he didn't know that it made him more visible and brought him one step closer to death.

The swarm drone in the sky scanned the faces of everyone on the road, and the next moment, the noble team that no people dared to approach around successfully attracted the attention of the queen bee's artificial intelligence.

Identifying the identified target Theodore was successfully confirmed

Start clearing

Under the control of the queen bee, a swarm drone quickly approached the noble team, inserting it into the noble team like a sharp sword. Before the noble team could react, a flash of fire shone on everyone.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, a huge flame engulfed the noble team, and the dozen or so people in the noble team couldn't even let out a scream.

Bang bang bang!

The ensuing shock wave swept five or six civilians nearby and slammed into the nearby wall.

"Ahhh Run! ”

"Help!"

"I beg the gods to forgive me for my sins!"

Some of the fanatics stopped running, kneeling on the ground and bowing to the swarm drones in the sky, making them their gods.

Because these drones killed the nobles full of sin, the commoners who had been tormented by the nobles began to believe that it was the will of the gods, and these were messengers sent by the gods to punish the evil.

"This is a messenger sent by the gods to punish the nobles who have done a lot of evil!"

"The messenger of the gods has come to earth, and all sins will be removed!"

As the drones bombarded, the imperial capital became even more chaotic, with people's shouts, cries, roars and incessant explosions intertwined.

Church of the Imperial Capital of Tranquility.

Hundreds of swarm drones circled over the church, and then, under the horrified gaze of all the worshippers, one after another swooped down and rushed towards the palatial palace.

boom

The roof was suddenly torn open, and a huge icicle rose from the inside of the church, on top of which stood a human being.

"Freeze it!" The majestic power in Estes' body surged wildly, and the red mark on his chest glowed slightly.

The next moment, a white wave suddenly appeared and enveloped all the drones flying down in the sky, and then the drones quickly froze and turned into ice cubes.

The drone ice sculpture fell to the ground and smashed to pieces, and even the inside of the swarm drone was frozen.

"I didn't expect an enemy to attack here," Estes frowned slightly as he looked at the torrent of steel hovering in the sky. "What is this? All made of iron? ”

"Judging from the shape, it's a bit like the design drawings of the aircraft that Dr. Fashion took out that time."

At this time, the torrent of steel began to separate, and one by one the pioneers raised the Heavenly Punishment 5 sniper grenade launcher in their hands, aimed at the palace below, and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang!

Countless high-explosive grenades flew towards the palatial church below.

"Freeze it."

With a wave of his hand, Estes reappeared in a white wave, enveloping the high-explosive grenades flying in this direction.

However, the goal of the pioneers was not to target the towering and ornate main church in the middle, but to cover the entire church with firepower.

The high-explosive grenade landed on the other buildings of the church, and a huge flame rose in an instant, and a wave of heat swept through everything around it.

Boom Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, and flames engulfed the believers around them. And these believers who were engulfed in flames were not even qualified to scream, and their screams were completely drowned out by the loud explosion.

Originally, the Emperor Du's Anning Church was bombed, except for the main church, which was protected by Aisid in the middle, and the other religious buildings were bombed to pieces.

In this explosion, in addition to the civilians and the main church gathered in the center of the square. All believers elsewhere died in the explosion, either engulfed in the flames from the explosion or shattered by the shock wave. Even if a few lucky people completely escaped these two injuries, the collapsed house would have killed them.

Seeing the pioneers suspended in the sky, the corners of Estes' mouth turned up slightly, and said, "I didn't expect the enemy to be you, he should have come too, right?" ”

Estes used the power in his body again, stretched out his right hand, and then raised it slightly.

"Ice Shelter."

Bang bang bang!

In the next moment, ice walls more than ten meters high rose from the ground around the main church. The walls then quickly moved closer to the middle, forming a semicircular shield made of ice, in which the magnificent cathedral was completely protected.

This is a shield developed by Esters to deal with the explosive attacks of this mysterious force. Although this move was originally intended to protect people, for a Tier 5 powerhouse like Estes, it was enough to protect the building and make the shield larger.

Dangerous! Estes' heart jumped suddenly, and a special ice film subconsciously condensed on the surface of his body.

Swish!

In a flash of cold light, a long knife slashed hard at Estes's neck.

While!

With such force, Estes's body flew upside down like a cannonball, and landed heavily on the roof of the church, breaking through a huge hole.
