Chapter 62 of the Finale: The Eclipse Descends
On the battlefield, the sun was shining one second, but the next second it was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not only the road to the Holy Mountain of the Papal Palace, but also on the sea, in the Holy City district, and in the suburbs outside the city, all of them were plunged into this darkness.
Sophia, who had just spread out the battle map and was about to discuss the next battle plan with the three generals, immediately stopped what she was doing, stood up and looked up at the sky.
It was noon, but it was as dark as dusk. The blazing morning sun was still hanging high in the sky, but the originally bright halo around it had lost its original luster, and not far from the sun, a dark celestial body could be faintly seen, slowly approaching the sun.
"Oh no!" Sophia frowned.
"What's going on? Felizak quickly stood up and asked.
"I'm afraid, the eclipse is about to begin. Sophia said worriedly.
"What about an eclipse?" Filizak was a little confused.
Felizak knew, of course, that a "solar eclipse" was nothing more than a normal natural phenomenon, a brief period of darkness caused by the sun being obscured by the moon's shadow. The dark object that appears next to the sun now is the moon that looks dark because of the difference in light. The darkness produced by the eclipse is short-lived, as the moon that obscures the sun quickly moves away and does not have any effect on the terrestrial world at all. Felizak couldn't understand why the dignified Lady of Glow (the heir) would make such a fuss about a very ordinary natural phenomenon.
"Felizak, don't you know at all? The Truth Society intends to use the eclipse to summon the god they believe in, that is, the demon Satan Lucifer!" William, who had been in contact with Sophia and the others earlier, naturally understood the key to this, and immediately conveyed it to Filizak, who joined halfway, in the most concise sentences.
"What? how is this possible?" said Filizak with a look of disbelief.
"Yes. Satan the Devil is just too terrible. If you were to come into this world, it would be a catastrophe. Recalling the scene when he had defeated another demon, Satan Mephistopheles, Wu couldn't help but feel a lingering feeling in his heart.
"My mother said that although the eclipse occurs in the sky, it also produces some alien energy that can cause fluctuations in space and time, which is transmitted to our world of Olopa. I don't know when, the Golden Dragon Queen Grace has already walked to their side, "If I want to open the door to the Demon Domain, I will also choose to do it on the day of the 'Eclipse', so the success rate will be greatly increased." ”
"No wonder ......," said Felizak, who had learned the whole truth, with some remorse.
Before the Pope was deposed today, Felizak was in a position very close to the Truth Society, and he also knew that the ultimate goal of the Truth Society was to let Lucifer come to this world, but Felizak always thought that it would take a long time for the Truth Society to complete this process, but he didn't expect it to be so imminent. If he had known about it, Felizak would have taken advantage of the fact that he was still stationed in the Papal Palace, and the Truth Society that occupied the Papal Palace would have been destroyed, even if his soul would have been damaged by the prohibition.
But there is no regret medicine in the world, and Filizak also understands that what he should do at this time is not to regret it.
"Your Highness, please give orders!" Filizak only wanted to know what else he could do now.
However, before Sophia could give the order, she suddenly felt a piercing "chill". It's not really cold, it's like being stared at by some ferocious beast, the instinctive surprise and vigilance of the human being in the depths of my heart!
Not only Sophia, but also Ray, Grace, the three major generals, as well as Dani and Alice, and even ordinary soldiers who were far inferior to them, the vast majority of them had this terrifying feeling as if they were about to be eaten.
This shows that it is not Sophia's own delusion, but that there is really something hidden in the shadows staring at all of them, and these things that cannot be seen clearly are not a small number.
"All ready to fight!" Sophia, realizing that something was wrong, immediately gave an urgent order.
Fortunately, this order was given in time, and as soon as the soldiers formed a battle formation, a series of wild howls were immediately heard.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Under the cover of that series of wolf howls, two groups of giant wolves flanked the combined forces of the crusaders and the Knights Templar who were blocked in the middle of the mountain road from the Papal Palace and the Holy City district.
Most of the secret research conducted by the Central Church for many years has been "making wedding garments for others", and most of the research results have fallen into the hands of the Truth Society, such as the Holy Spirit, the Harpy, the Divine Warriors, and even the previously unseen Karaken, and the werewolves are typical of them.
The slaughter of the royal family of the West Lothim Kingdom was the masterpiece of the werewolf tribe instructed by the Truth Society, and the werewolf tribe played the most crucial role in the two battles that assassinated Empress Ipeia and King Duris. The werewolves are arguably the most comfortable fighters of the truth at the moment. However, since the beginning of this war, the werewolves have not participated in the war, not because the truth will not call the werewolves, but because the werewolves are naturally afraid of the sun's light. Although werewolves are not like vampires, they will disappear when they touch the sun, but if werewolves are exposed to the fierce sunlight, they will not be able to transform at all, and even if they have completed the transformation, they will be beaten back to their original prototypes, and a powerful werewolf power cannot be used at all, and they are as threatening as ordinary humans.
Now that the "eclipse" is approaching, the sunlight has not completely disappeared, but it has weakened to the point that it cannot affect the werewolves. The werewolves can finally slaughter the bloody battlefield with impunity.
The werewolf clan flanked back and forth, like a flood hitting a levee. In terms of individual combat effectiveness, a lowly-level werewolf is enough to overthrow a dozen ordinary human soldiers, but because the soldiers have set up a defensive formation in advance and cooperate with each other properly, the ferocious werewolves are unable to break through the defense under the first impact, even if some soldiers are killed or injured because they can't withstand the violent impact, the overall defensive formation shows no signs of collapse, and it is still solid.
Instead, because of the soldiers' counterattack, the werewolves left a few corpses in the front and a few in the rear.
After death, the wolf's body quickly degenerated, and in an instant, it turned back into a naked human corpse. Seeing this scene, even the "first warrior" of the Xiongqi clan, who had experienced a hundred battles, couldn't help but exclaim: "What kind of evil monster is this!"
The gods they believe in are the "Father of the Eagle" and the "Mother of Wolves", and it stands to reason that when they encounter wolf creatures, the warriors should be full of reverence. However, the spirituality exuded by the snow wolf clan on the Slancy Plain could not have the slightest similar feeling in these giant wolves, and all the male warriors could feel was evil and ferocious!
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", ......
When it comes to defense, the barbarians who hunt in the ice and snow are not good at it, but when it comes to attack, they are all tough and strong. Although the range of the composite bow used by the male warriors is not as good as that of the crossbow, but the penetration is extremely strong, coupled with the strong arm strength and extremely fast shooting speed of the male warriors, a sharp arrow shoots out from behind the defensive formation, with the anger of the male crossbow warriors because of the blasphemy of their faith, unstoppably flying towards the wolves, each arrow piercing the most vulnerable eyes of the werewolves.
