"Click!"

After the thunderous sound, the "pit viper's kiss" seemed to suddenly break free from some kind of shackles, and the waves that swept away were mixed with a violent "spiritual shock", which made the cardinals who were close to them star...

This impact didn't have much effect on the clergy with high mental resistance, but the emotions and side effects it brought made them break out in a cold sweat behind their backs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As the initiator and host of the entire circle, the Pope was shocked at this moment, and he spat out a mouthful of blood...

"Protect His Majesty the Pope!"

In a cry of astonishment, the pale Pope was helped back into the church, while the remaining cardinals had to move forward, because the enemy attack on the inner city had resumed after the shield had been shattered. Before they could reach the inner city wall, they saw that more than a dozen agile men had already boarded up with weapons!

These powerful "Shadow Blade" elites turned over without ladders in the face of the five or six meter-high inner city wall, and although the high-level temple guards who resisted head-on were not bad, they were still not enough to see in the face of such elite masters, and they were cut down in one face, which caused the ordinary soldiers who followed behind to successfully climb the city wall.

At the moment, there are not many soldiers in the inner city at all, and those who remain in the inner city are basically clergy except for the soldiers, and now in this situation, even the cardinals have to roll up their sleeves and go into hand-to-hand combat, and the other bishops and priests can't back down - but where can they compare to a profession with stronger attack power such as elementalists?

Without the cover of enough soldiers, these priests had little defense at all, and when they faced the elite of the "Pit Viper Cross" who rushed towards them like a fierce god, they were basically slaughtered one-sidedly...

The bishop who fell from the city wall screamed and fell to his death, but the truly formidable papal guards in the inner city were beyond their reach. After they were divided into a group, they were all dragged on the city wall at this time, and they could only watch as the enemy relied on the superiority of numbers to tear through the defense line, and fought like wolves and sheep into the inner city...

Cardinals have an average level of more than 20 at the advanced level, and four of them are above level 30, and they are the ones who can really use their magic to exert enough attack power. Therefore, in the face of the enemies who rushed into the inner city, these old guys used their hole cards one after another, and the sound of the scrolls tearing apart was endless, and three cardinals from "ascetics" and "paladins" even blocked the other party's charge with their bodies, and cooperated to stop the vicious enemy.

But before, the powerful cardinals, including Moloqi, had been sent eight people to support the outer city, and at this time, they were really alone, and they didn't even have a reserve.

The enemies who kept pouring in from the city walls quickly exceeded fifty people, and these elites did not fight with the Holy See guards at all, and one by one they went straight down the city walls and came straight towards them!

A wave of despair welled up in everyone's hearts: Rosicrucius... Is this going to be destroyed?

At this time, the Pope, who was in the church, walked with a pale face. His strength is level 48, and it stands to reason that he is currently the strongest person in the entire temple, but before when the "Viper's Kiss" drove the ascetic who guarded it crazy, in order to forcibly seal this artifact, he had already paid a huge price of two percent of the drop in strength in half a year.

Forcibly opened the "Holy Shield", but was shattered from the inside by the "Pit Viper's Kiss", which caused most of the magic power to be sucked away, not to mention, the backlash made him even more seriously injured, and at this time, almost even walking would cause severe pain in his internal organs.

The waiter beside him supported him with a pale face, wanting to say something, but he waved his hand to block it: "There is no way back now, I can only go there." ”

The inner city was destroyed, in fact, it was announced that the "Rosicrucifix" had been breached. For many years, the competition between the two rivals has always been limited to the edge of their respective forces, but they never thought that they would be killed by the other party at this time - now that I think about it, my decision-making over the years has been mixed with too many emotions of "contempt" for the other party, but what is the use of accountability at this time?

The only thing he can do is destroy the Pit Viper's Kiss before the enemy finds it!

The option of "destroying" the "Rosicrucifix" had actually been considered for a long time, but in the face of such a "trophy" that could be used to show off achievements, the College of Cardinals finally did not decide to destroy it, but kept it and tried to use it.

To put it bluntly, they don't think that the other party has the guts to take it at all. Even more unwilling to give up this "artifact" because of the greed in his heart - with Sally awakened in front of him, the "Rosicrucifixion" has decided in his heart that this "artifact" belongs to them...

What if the artifact could be used for its own use?

Now it seems that with his own greed and carelessness in the front, where can he blame the other party's vicious attack?

The behavior of the "Pit Viper Cross" is also in line with its name, it has been dormant for a long time, silent, and finally does not make a move, and a shot is a fatal blow... Even the Pope never thought that the other party would really rush into the "temple" and even force himself to this point!

Pushing open the door, he stepped down. The road leading to the basement was deep and cool, and the bishop in charge of the guards inside had been transferred for most of the time due to the sudden battle, and the only two people who were left bent down to salute the Pope. Ignoring the salute, he pushed open the final door, aiming for the "Pit Viper's Kiss" suspended in the center of the room.

But at this moment, there were suddenly a few short shouts from behind, followed by the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The Pope turned around, only to see Elvis, the black-clad elder of the "Pit Viper Cross", pulling out the dagger that pierced the bishop's chest—behind him, two chamberlains, two bishops, had fallen to the ground and died.

Killing four people in the blink of an eye, the powerful assassination ability is undoubtedly highlighted here. After he pulled out the dagger, he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the Pope, and the distance of ten meters crossed in an instant, and the dagger with a faint blue light "clicked" to shatter the shield that appeared in the air!

"Phew!"

The scepter in the Pope's hand swung sideways, and the invisible burst of force blasted Elvis out - at this time, his hole cards were exhausted, and in order to stop the dangerous assassin, the Pope opened the "Divine Blessing" of the scepter in his hand, and cast several scrolls on his body one by one, trying to kill Elvis.

But Elvis also carried a scroll from the "Viper Cross" Pope Dazzle, and in a radiant light, he managed to dodge the attack in front of him in various ways, and even made the Pope show his decline!

However, Pope Peter's strength is strong after all, and it is difficult for Elvis to pose a threat to him head-on without a sneak attack. However, he knew that he was not here to fight, and as he kept retreating, he had already come to the side of the "pit viper's kiss".

The main reason why the "Holy Shield" in the inner city was shattered just now was that this scepter absorbed the mana of the Pope and the Cardinal with amazing power, and while destroying the outer barrier, the "Viper's Kiss" also broke the barrier that the Pope had imprisoned himself...

Therefore, the scepter at this moment has no protection or restriction for a long time, when it is suspended in the air, the violent spiritual impact makes the Pope who was just close to it appear in a trance for a moment - but the Pope clenched his teeth, not confused by it at all, the divine power instantly condensed behind the palm of his hand, he reached out and fished it, and while holding the scepter, the other hand blasted away the approaching Elvis, and drank at the same time: "You will never get it!"

Elvis didn't go on the attack, his grim gaze fixed on the Pope, and the constant whispers of the "pit viper's kiss" could be heard in his ears. However, as a strong man, he was also not bewitched by the scepter, but sneered and took out another scarlet magic crystal, and threw it suddenly:

"Really?"

The three heads of the pit viper's kiss were screaming to resist the power of Pope Peter, but when the crystal was thrown out by Elvis, all six of their eyes were fixed on the red spar, and the body of the scepter emitted a reddish glow - the Pope knew that things were changing, so he could only use all his strength to destroy the internal structure of the scepter.

"Kara!"

The surface of the scepter was distorted by divine power, and a large crack appeared in an instant. Then the entire scepter began to look charred under the force, as if an invisible flame was scorching.

The Pope was sure that his other hand was also extended, and he was about to break it when he held the staff in both hands. But then he was horrified to discover... The scepter in his hand, which was originally levitating, was actually fighting against himself!

Not only did he fight, but the Pope watched as the snake head in the center of the top of the scepter grabbed the magic crystal, and then the three snake heads opened their mouths at the same time and bit the spar like twisted flowers, and a powerful aura suddenly exploded. Pope Peter's face changed, and his hands were exerted again, but he only felt that what he was holding in his hands was no longer a cold scepter, but a red-hot soldering iron!

As the heat burned, the surface of the scepter quickly changed: the original cracks peeled outward, revealing the real body of the scepter with strange patterns underneath. The special magic crystal bitten by the three snake heads shone brightly, and then the Pope felt a violent mental impact that made his mind go blank, and the severe pain made him snort, "Deng Dengden" took three steps back, and released the scepter with both hands uncontrollably...

The "artifact" of complete awakening is simply not something that the already injured Pope can deal with.

Elvis knew he couldn't leave with the artifact in hand, but he was prepared. The purple gloves he was wearing were woven into three layers of the skin of an adult Cazeramon - a rare and difficult beast to catch, as its skin had a powerful effect similar to "magic immunity" - so he pinched the scepter and pulled another piece of Cazeramon skin from his waist, covered the glowing scepter, picked it up, and stepped back!

At this time, the Pope had recovered from the mental shock just now, but when he raised his hand and tried to cast a magic spell to leave Elvis, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes turned black, and he almost fell to the ground.

The moment he was attacked by the scepter, all his mana had been drained, and his body and spirit were hit hard at the same time - if he had known in advance that there would be such a battle, the hole cards accumulated by the "Rose Cross" for so many years would definitely have left the enemy, but in a hurry, where did he prepare so many magical equipment and props? I could only watch as Elvis exited the secret room and disappeared from view...

Obviously, the "Pit Viper Cross" did not intend to kill the Pope - the purpose of this raid was to take away the scepter, and if the top leaders of the "Rosicrucian" were uprooted, how could Charles II give the "Viper Cross" a chance to continue to survive in the future? Even if Mirno would take the blame for this incident, he would not be able to quell the chaos caused by the death of the Pope of the "Rosicrucian" with his weight.

Moreover, the diocese of the "Rosicrucifixion" is widely spread, and it is indeed difficult for the "Pit Viper Cross" to deal with such an enemy head-on in a short period of time. A pope who has lost face and no longer holds authority will inevitably lead to chaos within the sect, and this will weaken the Rosicruche far more than purge the entire hierarchy.

Every move of the "Pit Viper Cross" was played in the critical place, and the gasping Pope almost immediately understood the other party's intentions, but the current situation was all created by the Cardinal Council and him, so what was the use of regretting?

Strictly speaking, the attack of the "Pit Viper Cross" can only be called a "raid battle", not a "siege war".

Politically speaking, this must ultimately be "the friction between the Count of Mirno and the Rosicrucian", and it must not be characterized as "the attack of the Rosicrucian core city by the Viper Cross", even if Charles II knew what was going on, the final announcement to the whole country must be the former statement.

The troops in the city were empty with a series of calculations, and there was a time difference, and with the help of the internal response, he broke into the door. Tactically, this will be a siege that will go down in history, but unfortunately the ultimate goal of the "Pit Viper Cross" series of actions is not to capture the city, but to "take the scepter". Therefore, the 2,000 soldiers who stormed the city did not disperse and control as the usual troops who attacked the city, but went straight to the inner city in one go, without allocating any team to control the other city gates.

Rushing in through the West Gate, they were doomed to exit the city, so they didn't pay any attention to what was happening at the North Gate, which was far away.

After the attack on the city, the city defense forces deployed at the north gate were in a state of anxiety. Most of the soldiers were drawn before, so that the north gate was now guarded by a team of fifteen people, and by the time the enemy rushed into the city and attacked the inner city, this team was already confused...

Do you rush to stop the enemy, or do you stay here?

The commander of the city defense army is not a temple guard, and they don't want to die at all, but who knows if the enemy will massacre and purge after taking the city?

Just as fear and anxiety permeated the ranks, the soldiers guarding the city walls suddenly shouted: "Team, captain!

This voice instantly made everyone's eyes look into the distance, the northern part of the "Temple" was adjacent to the forest, and at this time, a steady stream of heavily armed troops was coming out of the road between the woodlands, and the "Rosicru" flag held high suddenly made the guards cry with joy -

"It's reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!" (To be continued.) )
