Chapter Ninety-Eight of the Finale: The Harsh Status Quo
Next, Sophia learned more about the progress of the situation from the crowd.
The chrysalis of all this, the Seraphic Uriel, did not summon any helpers or subordinates from the "Gate of Heaven", because what he wanted to do with this world was not to rule, but to destroy the world. After unleashing the powerful magic of the Thunder Flame Fusion, he had already hid in the Pope's Palace, and immediately after, the perimeter of the Pope's Palace was plated with a layer of holy defensive diaphragm, forming an irregular barrier that isolated the Pope's Palace from everything in the outside world. The Holy Barrier was stronger than the Golden Light Shield that had only defended Uriel alone, and the Raider Coalition did not give up with heavy casualties.
Generals William, Dani, and Jain Rogge lead ground forces in an attack from the Holy Mountain, the Green Dragon Contractor, the elven girl Amarith Corona, and the dark elf general Vicente Soul Shadow, lead their own tribes to attack from above the Papal Palace, along with the Dwarven Air Force and the Templar's broken griffons, and Lyle, Ischennova, and other magicians from the Snowy Federation, with the help of a small number of undead wizards, launch an onslaught on the middle of the Papal Palace. However, 109 consecutive rapid attacks could not shake the enchantment by half a point.
Giant trebuchet, space travel, dark erosion, elemental dispelling, dragon breathing...... Whether it is powerful magic, or a weapon with amazing destructive power, or a powerful limb impact, the moment it touches the enchantment, it is like a mud cow entering the sea, all the attack energy is absorbed, but the enchantment is unshaken, and not even the slightest ripple is raised.
Even if he absorbed the power of the holy stone in the wall of the Pope's Palace, it was impossible to achieve such a strong defensive effect, as if this enchantment was originally a substance that did not exist in this world at all.
In order to fully understand the composition of the barrier, the griffon rider even flew to the bottom of the city with a magician and several dragons to investigate if they could find clues to break the barrier, but they found nothing but strange rocks.
By this time, the naval fleet, commanded by Admiral Holking and Davis, was beyond the reach of a city that had risen to such heights. As for the vampires who are good at space magic, they have all fled before the darkness of the "Eclipse" is over - even if they don't escape, it will not help, and under the scorching sun, vampires without the blood of Daywalkers, no matter how powerful, will end up as a pile of flying ashes.
In order to prevent the end of the world, the "Gate of Heaven" must be closed, and in order to close the "Gate of Heaven", Uriel and Julian must be defeated, and the premise of all this is that this barrier must be broken and enter the Papal Palace, otherwise nothing can be done.
And the top priority at this time, in addition to preventing the destruction of the world, is the problem of the evacuation of nearly 100,000 people. At this time, in addition to the soldiers of the Coalition Army, there were also the remnants of the original garrison and the Templar Order, some of the residents and clergy of the Holy City who were unwilling to be evacuated due to the arrival of the war, and a large number of werewolves who had recovered their senses.
After being extracted by Jana, the werewolf legion that had been killed by the crusade coalition army instantly withered, and one by one they lost the power of the werewolves, revealing their original human form and fainting to the ground. At first, the soldiers who were not in the mood to fight made up for these unconscious werewolves and completely ended their lives, but after killing more than 100 people, the soldiers felt that such a killing was meaningless, so they let them go, and only controlled the actions of these werewolves, and did not take their lives. Later, due to the return of the soul fragments, these still living werewolves woke up one by one, and they did not attack the coalition and other living creatures again, and stayed quietly in place like ordinary people. The most important reason for this is that the leader of the werewolf clan has long lost the will to fight.
At this time, Jaina was wrapped in a blanket and sat down with her back against a wall in the streets of the Holy City, in a daze of aimlessness. With a lame left foot and a blind left eye, she is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye under the powerful werewolf bloodline, and Jaina also knows the truth that the Seraphs are going to destroy the world, but she has no intention of resisting. The new psychic hints overlay the old ones, opening the knot in Jana's heart and depriving her of all will to fight.
As for the other werewolves, although they have their own minds, their long-term captivity and expulsion have made them obedient humanoid tools, even if they know that disaster is coming, they will not do anything without Jana's instructions.
Compared with the large number of stunned werewolves, there is another group of people who are more infuriating. This kind of people have extremely poor psychological quality, opportunistic and unwilling, and even shout that they are the people chosen by the Seraphic Angel Uri Venerable, and that they are the "kindling" that will continue civilization, and they should not die here;
Although the number of these people is small and the actual casualties caused are very limited, their appearance seriously affects the morale of the army, and the minds of these people are like a cancer, if not dealt with in time, they will spread among the population at an alarming speed. Therefore, under the leadership of Yundi and Tismu, a rapid disposal force was quickly formed to attack everywhere to suppress these signs. During the time when Sophia walked out of the Great Church, Yun Di quickly led someone over because she heard these words coming up again somewhere in the city.
Sophia naturally knows that these life-hungry and death-fearing guys call themselves "tinder", which is nothing more than their nonsense, and as the person who is really chosen as "tinder", she will not be so selfish. However, even if such a person has been driven out, it will not be able to change the desperate status quo.
A few more minutes passed, and it was unknown how high the Holy City had risen, and Sophia, even without asking Taigulai, learned that the situation was getting worse and worse. Because the air is getting thinner and thinner, oxygen is getting less and less, and the relative temperature is dropping sharply, the houses and ruins of this holy city are covered with a layer of white armor of ice and snow, and everyone in summer clothes is shivering from the cold, even the powerful Sophia can't withstand the severe cold in the sky, and is shivering a few times from the cold.
At this time, Sophia once again turned her gaze to the papal palace wrapped in a holy enchantment. The key to ending this catastrophe is to defeat the Seraphic Angel hiding inside, but because of the Barrier, they can't do anything. It would be nice if she still had the "Spear of Longinus" in her hand, which could pierce a few holes in the Seraph's self-defense shield, and maybe destroy the barrier of the Papal Palace, but unfortunately, when she was blown up by Uriel, the "Spear of Longinus" did not know where it was lost.
In the end, nothing can be done!, Sophia thought hatefully.
Just when Sophia was at a loss for what to do with the cruel situation in front of her, a voice suddenly sounded in her head calling her name.
Yes, Sophia suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen anyone since she woke up.
