Chapter 467: Peak Duel, Assassination and Reinforcement
At this time, the church behind him was silent, and the golden defensive cover exploded after shaking it slightly. A light gray towering minaret was revealed, and countless blood-red pennants hung from the pointed dome, on which a white cross-shaped pattern was depicted.
This is the headquarters of the Holy Light Crusade on Mars, but with the decline of the Holy Light Crusader in Sword Forge Lake, after the Moonlight Crusader Acting Church President Temu Tuoba Hai reorganized the Moonlight Crusader, the Martian Holy Light Crusader broke with the Moonlight Crusader and changed it to the Vengeful Crusader.
The banner also changed from gold to blood-red, and it was the presence of this church that the entire trained Avengeance Crusade filled the ranks of the Martian Resistance. Supporting the Martian Resistance and the powerful Devilman Legion entered a tug-of-war.
Because of this, the heart of Mars revenge crusade headquarters here has also become a thorn in the side of the demons, and it has become the object of wanting to pull out.
And the little lion and Xiaoice of the Bull Demon King squad who were executed just now were left in the church because of the origin of the Holy Light Crusader. Since the demons attacked Mars, they have always protected the Heart of Mars, making it a beacon in the hearts of the Martian rebels. A beacon of hope for the Martians to survive.
"Woooooooo A series of hurried warnings rang out from inside the church, and the lion cubs and Xiaoice turned into fiery red and ice-blue streamers and rushed in.
A thick aura of blood rushed towards them, and the Templars, who were in helmets and armour, and the Templars with the Banner of Vengeance were killed, and reddish-brown blood flowed freely throughout the hall.
The little lion began to become anxious, and she released several spikes in the air one after another, and rushed directly to the metal gate behind her.
However, the door was completely open, and a fishy smell came from inside.
The anthropomorphic look on the little lion's face showed a look of annoyance: these demons must have taken advantage of the duel between themselves and Xiaoice in the church square against the Bull Demon King, sneaked in and killed the Templars who were holding battle flags to maintain the entire defensive formation.
But this also shows that the enemy did not flee! Their goal may be to slaughter the entire Avengers and destroy the Resistance's faith.
Slaughtered? Suddenly, she heard what Teki and Katie had said to him: the remains of the first Guardians were buried underneath the Martian Crusaders, and their divine soldiers were buried in the Sword Shrine. Could it be that these demons are looking for this? No, the Demon Clan couldn't break through that layer of holy light barrier without alarming themselves and Xiaoice.
Since the enemy has done it, there are normal humans in it, and perhaps this is the demon man lurking in it.
These damn psychologically shady guys.
The little lion thought to himself, and his feet couldn't help but speed up. After passing through the long corridor, I saw the confrontation in front of me.
Three "shadows" hidden in black confronted the woman sitting on a chair on the steps, wearing blood-red robes and a crown of desolate fire on her head, staring at the three men in black.
"Since you are not my Martians, why did you assassinate my Aphar Knight! Anyway, what are you here for?! ”
However, the three men in black did not say anything, but instead set up an attack formation on the twelve papal guards beside the pope. There is a big word that does not agree with the situation of the Qing monarch.
Seeing this, the little lion had doubts, so he secretly informed Xiaoice to go to the underground mausoleum to protect the guardian and the artifact. He entered a stealth state and came to the Pope's side for close protection.
The twelve knights of the Guard, armed with knightly swords, stared closely at the three men in black, blocking in front of the Pope.
There was a brief lull.
Under this level of calm, the little lion heart mentioned
With her throat and eyes, she didn't know the intentions of the three men in black, as for the Pope of one of the targets and the guardian and artifact of the second target, they had been guarded, and she had communicated with Xiaoice through telepathy, and there were no hidden enemies.
So what's the matter? Why is this so? It's weird!
Wrong! There's a third target here! This third goal is the goal of these men in black!
A strange thought suddenly poured into the little lion's mind, thousands of years of faith and the human race day and night have made the lioness god Sekhmet have a higher spiritual sense, and easily guessed the thoughts of the human race.
Only now who is the third target?
Before she could think about it, she saw the knights of the guards move! They rushed towards the three men in black, swinging their broad, two-handed swords in their hands towards the mysterious figures in black leather armor and holding two-handed short blades.
Wrong! How could an assassin expose himself like this?! These three men in black are the bait! The real Assassins were hiding in the corners, or in the crowd......
In the crowd!
The little lion covered the entire chapel with his spiritual power, sensing everyone's breath. Suddenly, half a step away from the Pope's right hand, there was a motionless shadow.
And beyond this shadow, there are two more shadows!
Pope Danger! The lion cub stopped sensing and slammed into the shadow behind the Pope.
At the same time, the two shadows three feet away seemed to feel the violentness of the little lion, and shot their shurikens towards the shadows behind the Pope.
"Bang!" The lion cub knocked the shadow behind the Pope to the ground, and then slashed two cross-shaped claws into the two shadows three feet away.
"Poof!"
"Smack!"
Two palm-sized metal weapons turned into a streamer, breaking through layers of magical defenses.
Two voices rang out, one of the shurikens shot into the air and hit the pillar in the distance, while the other shot the Pope in the back impartially.
During this period, although some guards knights wanted to intercept them, they were in a hurry. The Pope moved backwards and sat down in his chair.
"Pope! Pope! ”
The knight of the guard shouted loudly, and saw that the Pope's whole body had turned purple, as if he was poisoned.
Nearby, a knight reversed his wrist and stabbed several bloody holes in the Pope's body, intending to remove the poison by bloodletting.
At this time, the three men in black had been surrounded by the knights, and the giant sword was on their shoulders, and if they made a rash move, they would be corrected on the spot. A knight captain looked like he gritted his teeth at the three men in black and said, "Hunt and kill!" Ask the murderer behind the scenes! ”
It's just that what awaits him is the sneer of the three men in black, and one of them is even more obsessively shouting: "The fate of destruction still begins, and the Shadow Council will surely rise!" ”
With that, his neck slammed into the knight's greatsword, and three corpses fell to the ground almost at the same time.
Only then did the knights notice the light red shadow that had just flashed in front of them. After seeing the face of the person who the little lion knocked out, he raised a heavy knight's shield and immediately surrounded the place.
At this moment, the lion cub was scurrying after the two emitters, and they had already left their marks on them, and it would not take long to capture them all.
But as soon as he got out of the church, he chased it away. Or that the two murderers were horrified when they saw that someone had discovered them, and they were able to fight back faster than them, and they separated in the church square and chased them in two opposite directions.
The little lion suddenly lost his temper, even if
He was faster than the two, but he could not pursue the murderer at the same time, and he had the intention to let Xiaoice block together, and he was afraid that the enemy would have a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he had to tell him to protect the church, and then chased down towards a slightly less injured person.
Because in her mind, the more seriously injured person would have a longer recovery period, and even if he recovered, he would be tortured more after planting his own unique brand.
On the other hand, this person with light injuries will let go this time, and next time I am afraid that the mark will become weaker and weaker, and in the end, it will not even be able to be traced.
Don't let any of them go!
Thinking to herself, she turned into a gust of wind and chased after her.
And the reason why the assassin at this moment could be slightly injured by the gourd under the cross cut of the little lion was because at the moment of exposure, the person who fled against her took all of it.
The Assassin's heart was full of worry, and she couldn't help but slow down when she thought that even if that mysterious guy was tracking him, he must be tracking the more seriously injured person.
However, her training as an Assassin led her to lurk in the nearby market.
Although because of the war between the human race and the demons, the entire Martian city has become extremely deserted, and only a few homeless homeless people wander around the deserted streets.
Their pungent rancid smell was the first lesson the Assassins had learned: stealth their whereabouts, hide their scents.
The petite female assassin deliberately wandered among the filthy, rancid beggars before crossing the lake to a cemetery that was the headquarters of the Carnegie Chamber of Commerce, the black market in the largest city.
With the sound of a creaking door opening, the female assassin made her way through the heavily guarded hall to a secret room.
Looking at the flames lit above the secret room, he said with a solemn expression: "The task assigned by the Lord has been completed!" ”
"Oh? Is it? Are you sure you're killing the right target? On the high steps above, the voice of a woman in a coarse cloth sacrificial robe rang out.
"I'm sure the assassination was the real Pope! This can be testified by waiting for the scorpion to return. The woman in light gray leather armor appeared and bowed upward.
"You may have killed the Pope, but you should know that the Pope has several stand-ins, and the only value of these stand-ins is to die for the Pope. As for your reward, it is subject to the actual verification of the party that posted the bounty. With a smile on her lips, the woman stared at the girl below and smiled.
"How so? Isn't there no remuneration if the publisher doesn't verify it? The woman looked at the woman on the high platform with an expression of disbelief, and said secretly in her heart: "The shopkeeper is bullying, this is being pitted!" ”
It seemed that the woman on the high platform understood the assassin's thoughts, and for the purpose of using it in the future, she smiled and said: "Rules are rules, not only you, but also our side paid for three dead soldiers." In business, there is always a corresponding price, although there is no bounty, there is still a remuneration fee. ”
Saying this, he threw down the seven Zulian gold coins, "Since you have registered with me, there will naturally be benefits, even if the harvest is small this time, there will always be compensation next time." She will naturally have the scorpion's share when she comes back, and the long journey is hard, so go down. ”
"Yes! Thank you, Master! The female assassin was reluctant in her heart, but thinking that surviving in such a troubled world would require a huge amount of financial security, she endured a sense of humiliation and said respectfully, carefully picked up the gold coins on the ground, and walked out to the side.
After the room was completely quiet, the woman turned her head and looked coldly to the side: "My lord, can you pay the remaining gold coins for the reward you announced?" ”
