Chapter 68: The Holy Maiden

Street fighting in the Holy City has heated up.

Vampires have the upper hand with their individual weapons far superior to humans, but the Holy Army relies on formation and light magic to restrain the forces of darkness. Vampires unleashed the power of the Bloods, casting a layer of black mist over the holy "City of Myths" caused by the release of a large amount of dark magical energy, but pillars of light shot out from the ground one after another, tearing apart the black fog and connecting with the sky, bringing winged humanoid magical creatures to the battlefield.

More than a dozen priests above the archbishop have had ample time to chant the incantations that summon the angels and manifest the "angelic souls". Backed by the most powerful warriors of light, the Holy Army gained a foothold and gradually counter-attacked the vampires.

If the Blood Clan attacking the Holy City in the name of "revolution" wants to regain the initiative, the key depends on whether the army led by the Prince of Blood himself can succeed.

The prince led 300 vampires to the north of the city, and they wiped out the few holy armies they encountered along the way, reaching their destination with little hindrance: in front of the Founding Evangelical Seminary.

The seminary is a unique educational institution that can only be found in the papal dominions, combining the teachings of the Holy Light with general education, systematically cultivating talents from a large group of children, and many core figures in the central church are trained from the seminary. There are a total of 76 seminaries throughout the Papal Dominion.

However, the Founding Evangelical Theological Seminary, located in the north of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, has a very special status compared to the other 75 seminaries.

First of all, it was the only seminary that only admitted female students, and the other seminaries were either coeducational or male-only. Secondly, the Founding Evangelical Theological Seminary was founded by the first generation of the Holy Lady of Radiance Mary, and was once an important cradle for cultivating talents for the Holy Lady Department, and at its peak time, the Founding Evangelical Theological Seminary had a total of more than 3,000 students; In the minds of many people, the history of the Founding Evangelical Seminary is the history of the Holy Light Cult.

The current dean is Sister Oldai, a woman over half a hundred years old, a devout person who has no political ambitions at all, who has dedicated her life to God, and who usually gives the impression of caring for her students like a kind mother, but she is also a cardinal, and she resolutely chooses to fight in the face of the life and death of the college.

Before the vampire army arrived, Sister Aldai had led more than 200 female students to the entrance of the seminary. The female students formed a circle with Sister Oldai as the core, holding hands, kneeling on the ground, closing their eyes, and reciting the chapters of the Holy Book in a reverent manner. Sister Oldai, on the other hand, knelt in the face of St. Mary's tomb with her hands in her fists and prayed with her students. The magic of Sister Oldai and more than 200 students fused together to emit a bright, soft light, forming an impregnable barrier of light in front of the seminary.

The vampire prince came to the door of the Founding Evangelical Seminary. Looking at the teachers and students who were struggling to resist, the corners of the prince's mouth raised a sneer of disdain. "Fuck off, or die. "These are the only two options that the Vampire Prince has given them. The Founding Evangelical Theological Seminary is going to be destroyed today, and who allowed the pope hundreds of years ago to bury his magical energy in the ground of this building of great historical value.

When Joyka, Ray, and Dani arrived at the edge of the Blood Mountains, it was already dusk that day, and they originally planned to go to a nearby town to rest for a night, and they would only enter the mountain tomorrow during the day, but unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the Blood Mountains were full of changes, and it was likely that there would be unknown huge changes inside, out of concern for Sophia, O, and Cassius, they decided to enter the Blood Mountains overnight that night to find out, regardless of the danger.

However, the current situation is very unsettling for them. It's been a few hours since they've entered the mountains, and they haven't even encountered a single vampire, and they can't help but wonder if they really have reached the vampire colony. On the other hand, the overly quiet environment made them feel that the wind and trees, the grass and trees, and even the movement of a small squirrel were mistaken for a vampire's sneak attack - how embarrassed and ugly Dany's face was when she pulled the sword out of the dead hapless squirrel's corpse.

But what really put them in a desperate situation was Joyka's self-deprecating remark: "Hell, I think we're lost." ”

"If we continue like this, I'm afraid that before we rescue Sister Sophia, we will be trapped in this damn wood. "Ray is not a person who likes to say frustrating words, but now he also knows the severity of the situation.

"So what are we going to do?" said Dani, habitually turning her helping gaze to her companions.

"It can't be helped. Joyka shook her head helplessly, "We don't have a topographic map, so we can't find a way in this kind of lighting conditions." Go back first and come back tomorrow morning when the light is full. ”

Although the partners didn't want to just withdraw their troops like this, they also knew what it meant to be "stronger than people", so they had to go home.

However, it's not so easy for them to go?

"Come as you want, leave as you want, you really make this place your home. A deep man's voice suddenly sounded in the woods, because the sound was coming from all directions, and it was impossible to determine the source of the sound.

"Who? who are you!" Dani, who was already in a state of high mental tension, once again eagerly drew her sword.

"Over there. Joyka patted her on the shoulder, pointing to the right front. The well-informed Joyka knew all about this method of using obstacles around him to create echoes and hide his true location, and he immediately saw through such a trick.

Ray and Dani looked at him, but on top of a large tree, a branch at least 3 meters above the ground, a man in a black robe was faintly visible. The man looked like he was asleep, and his loud snoring was incessant.

"Is it a vampire?" said Lei. The humans who appeared here at this time would have no one else but the three of them.

"Very well! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find the way, and now someone has shown us the way. Joyka sneered and pulled her bow and arrow, aiming it at the black-robed man who was sleeping soundly.

The vampire prince's warning had already spread throughout the city, causing a great sensation. At this time, although it was late at night, no one was sleeping. At first, the people were on the sidelines, but as the inhabitants of the neighborhoods near the gates and along the Hydra destroyed streets brought in alarming information, it became clear that the enemy had invaded the city and brought with them powerful beasts. For a time, the Holy City was in chaos.

Some swore an oath to defend themselves against the enemy with the defenders, some sought refuge in the nearest place of priesthood, some were overwhelmed with fear, some knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness from the God of Light, and some took advantage of the chaos to loot, but many more were fleeing blindly, making the chaos so chaotic that trampling trampled people everywhere in the holy city. The number of dead and wounded in the chaos of trampling each other has exceeded the number of dead and wounded affected by both sides of the fighting.

At this moment, a gentle, sweet voice suddenly reached the ears of the residents.

"O people of the city of myths, we are all God's people, and God is watching us from heaven in the light, so we must protect this life given by God, and we must not make unnecessary sacrifices. Please stay away from the places where vampires and armies are fighting as much as possible, abandon the large luggage that hinders your movements, do not panic, keep order, and follow me to a safe place to evacuate. ”

In the midst of the chaos, a blonde girl dressed in a white priest's robe was evacuating the crowd in an orderly manner. She exuded a soft divine light, and the citizens bathed in her holy light, feeling incomparably warm and comfortable, the sense of horror disappeared, and even the wounds she had suffered before were gradually healed, coupled with her alluring beauty and astonishing temperament, so that the vast majority of the citizens who heard or saw her were willing to obey the orders of the young priest, and lined up in an orderly manner to evacuate, and the previous chaos no longer existed.

Although they didn't know who she was, watching her sweat to bring the citizens to safety, some elderly citizens blurted out, "Holy Maiden!"

Yes. She looks like the legendary Radiant Maiden who brings hope in the midst of despair......

Papal Palace.

At this stage of the situation, if Pope Frio I was still unaware, it would be something that no three-year-old would believe. Although the Holy City was full of smoke, the Pope was very calm, and he stood on the Papal Palace, overlooking the whole Holy City.

The eyes behind the silver mask were not the place where the vampires were fighting the Holy Army, but the blonde priest who was directing the refugees to take refuge. When the girl first appeared, he knew her identity. That one-of-a-kind divine light that only the Radiant Saints of the ages and their successors could grasp. And there is only one student of the current Radiant Saintess: St. Angel, and that is Sophia, the exiled princess of the former Pole Kingdom!

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. For more than ten years, the Pope has been thinking about how to get Sophia back, but he didn't expect her to throw herself into the net. The Pope couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy armor tapping brought a very dissatisfied feeling. A man came behind the Pope.

"Oh, is there anything wrong with you? William. The Pope put away his laughter and changed it back to a stern and emotionless tone.

"His Majesty, I don't mean to offend. While pleading guilty to the Pope for his rudeness, William Mano also expressed his dissatisfaction and doubts, "I don't understand, why should I be forbidden to fight?

"Their creatures of darkness don't even have the right to exist in the world. How dare they offend our holy city and blaspheme the gods? Very well, since they want to bring about their own destruction, then under the witness of God in the light, their existence will be completely erased. But......" the Pope said abruptly, "you have your own mission, but it's not fighting vampires. ”

"Not fighting vampires? What is that?" William wondered, what could be more important than banishing the vampires?

"William, come here," the Pope pointed in Sophia's direction, "see the blonde girl in the white priest's robe? ”

"What?" Wei Qian was puzzled by the task, "I don't know who she is, but I see that she is evacuating the citizens! Without her, the casualties of the citizens would have doubled." ”

"Don't be deceived by appearances. "She is a shameful sinner who betrayed the God of Light, and an accomplice of those vampires. ”。
