While a thousand Bloods were slaughtering on the towers, Hydra, who was slowly moving towards the Great Chapel of St. Mattia, was under fierce siege. The soldiers and priests tried their best to attack, but Orome's transformation brought the Hydra's rebirth ability to the extreme, the ordinary wounds caused by swords and arrows and spears quickly healed in front of the attackers, and since Hydra was not an undead creature, the priest's magical attacks had almost no effect, and if you attacked its torso, it would spew corrosive poisonous blood. The soldiers and priests were helpless, but they were helpless to watch the hydra lizard approach step by step in the direction of the Great Church of St. Mattia, and directly destroy all the houses in the straight line along the way, but they were helpless.

The cardinal in charge of the command was in a hurry, he was one of the very few high-ranking people who knew the secrets of magical energy, and understood the importance of the Great Church of St. Mattia, so he didn't care about whether he would accidentally injure civilians, so he ordered the deployment of trebuchets and other heavy weapons to bombard the huge hydra lizard. More than a dozen trebuchets kept firing burning boulders at Hydera, but due to the hasty deployment time and the fact that there were too many obstacles in the city, only about 30 percent of the stones hit the target, and the other 70 percent fell into nearby residential areas, causing even more casualties among civilians.

Some of the soldiers were so frustrated that they slowed down the launch, but were reprimanded by the cardinal on the spot.

"At all costs, this monster must be prevented from approaching the Great Church of St. Mattia, and those who disobey will be executed on the spot for blasphemy!" -- this death order left the soldiers with no choice but to speed up their movements and attack the Hydra lizard with trebuchets.

The Hydra lizard was bombarded by trebuchets in turns, it had already received more damage than its own ability to regenerate, its body was incomplete, scarred, and its two heads were blown off before it had time to be reborn, but its master also gave it a death order, and the subordinate beast could not disobey its host at all, ignoring the attacks it had received, and still unswervingly advanced towards the target that it must destroy.

Suddenly, Hydra's attacks were drastically reduced as some of the soldiers operating the trebuchets were attacked from behind by a swarm of bats, the claws and fangs of the Bloody Night bats biting at the flesh and injecting toxins into them. The priest next to him was about to go up to help, but he didn't think that suddenly a dozen vampires would teleport behind them and kill the priests before they could come to their senses.

Seeing this, the other soldiers and priests hurriedly abandoned the trebuchet and formed a dense formation to meet the battle.

Seeing that the abominable hydra lizard was about to be blasted to slag, but it was hindered at the critical moment, the cardinal's face was very ugly, the magic flowed with his thoughts, and the raised cross emitted a dazzling holy light, and the air around him became scorching.

The sixteen cardinals of the Central Church have their own emphasis on the cultivation of light magic, and this cardinal is good at separating the fire element, which is the basis of light magic, and manipulating it independently, restoring it to the original flame attack, but retaining its divine attributes, and the fire attribute attack he sends out is called the "holy flame" that purifies the evil This also shows his identity: this old man is not an ordinary cardinal, but one of the four cardinals in the highest administrative body of the Central Church, the Cardinal, who has a special position and automatically has the right to nominate candidates for the next pope, the "Holy Flame" of Hrabino.

The fireball with the divine power exploded among the soldiers besieged by the bats, and the flame spread out radioactively like the light of the sun, and more than a hundred bats were scorched and fell to the ground like raindrops, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue; a dozen vampires who were slaughtering the priest's team immediately fled when they found the holy fire, but still 6 or 7 people could not dodge, and were killed by both the flames and the holy light, and two of them were turned to ashes on the spot and erased from the world. However, the human soldiers who were also within the range of the Holy Flame's attack were not burned by the flames at all, and not only that, but the divine power in the flames also healed the injuries they had suffered before.

Melissa was furious, and she rushed to the front from her command position in the rear, clawing straight at Herabeno's heart!" Seeing the female vampire rushing towards him in a frenzy, Hrabino showed a look of extreme disgust. Before Melissa's claws could touch his robes, a wall of flame instantly appeared between the two of them, pushing backwards towards Melissa.

The bats in the sky collectively sent infrasound waves at the wall of sacred fire to protect their empress. The infrasonic waves released by thousands of bats overlapped to form an invisible but powerful sonic field that collided with the flame wall.

"Buzz ......"

A piercing sound came from the place where the sonic force field collided with the wall of sacred fire, and the eardrums of the people around him were severely injured, and they had to squat on the ground and cover their stinged ears in pain. The sonic force field and the energy of the wall of the flame were evenly matched and canceled each other, and the shockwave produced pushed Melissa and Hrabino in opposite directions by more than ten meters.

"Damn!" Melissa roared as she raised her head to the sky, the thick dark magic unleashed from her, fangs sticking out of her upper lip, and her otherwise bright eyes covered with a pale film, she freed the power of the Bloods and completed the vampire transformation.

Normally, when a human becomes a vampire, the physical defects of the living person are automatically restored, but Melissa is different in that she is not resurrected from the dead, but directly transformed from the living into a vampire, so she also brings the physical defects of the living with her. Although her facial features are sound in her normal state, when she frees the power of the vampire, she returns to her former state of blindness. Although she lost her sight, her other four senses became more sensitive as a result.

The black cloak behind Melissa stretched out, like a pair of huge bat wings, supported by the air currents generated by the countless bats around her when they flapped their wings, and rose into the sky more than ten meters high.

"Come, vampire!" said Hrabino, looking up at Melissa, who was surrounded by bats in the sky, his old face full of disdain. His whole body was wrapped in dazzling flames, and although he appeared to be a single figure compared to thousands of bats, his momentum was definitely not inferior to that of the other party.

The commanders of both sides confronted each other, and the human soldiers and priests below attacked the invading vampires without hesitation. Since you can't stop the Hydra lizard from destroying the Great Sanctuary of Santa Mattia, let's kill a few more vampires.

......

Fighting doesn't happen in just one place. At this time, the Bloods who occupied the gates and towers were also counterattacked by the Holy See. Another new force was thrown into the battlefield, and that was the armed forces of the Inquisition.

Strictly speaking, the Inquisition was a secret service and judicial body, not a regular army. When it comes to capturing heretics, interrogating criminals, stealthily infiltrating, and spying sabotage, they are experts, but face-to-face legion combat is a layman, but now that the Holy City is in the midst of life and death, the garrison has suffered heavy losses, and the Inquisition, which is still relatively complete, naturally has no reason to stay out of it. Only by regaining control of the city gate can the holy city be kept.

"Cluck, cluck, ......"

The sound of broken horses' hooves echoed through the streets. Most of the Inquisition troops left behind in the Holy City were Einsatzgruppen squads responsible for arrest missions, and in order to facilitate the pursuit of criminals, all members were equipped with fast horses and were skilled horsemen. Although the narrow, complex, and obstructed cities are not suitable battlefields for cavalry galloping, the habit of chasing on horseback for many years has become a fixed mode of action for them, and they do not care so much about whether the surrounding environment is suitable or not.

After the vampires captured the gates and towers, Melissa led 300 men to the south to protect Hydra, the vampire prince himself led another 300 men to destroy the magical energy in the north of the holy city, and Uonik led the remaining 400 men to guard the gates.

In the distance, the Inquisition's cavalry brigade was seen coming out of the end of the street, and hundreds of warhorses leaping past the ruins of the neighborhood destroyed by the aftermath of the Fist of the Collapse. Instead of the spears and shields of the usual knights, these Einsatzgruppen cavalry held iron chains with iron shackles attached to the ends, which were thrown at the fugitive's arms, calves, and even necks, and then dragged by the fugitive's arms, calves, and neck. This special way of hunting down criminals is now used by them on vampires.

Although the speed and strength of vampires are far superior to that of humans, there are still many people who are attracted to this strange attack. Several vampires who rushed forward were precisely handcuffed by the shackles on the chains, and the light magic blessed on the shackles in advance took effect, and the few unlucky vampires were killed by the holy light in the moment they were handcuffed, and the blood clan's strength was quickly lost, and they were dragged to the ground weakly. Some vampires who had been defeated by this weapon in their lifetimes had their experience in hiding in a corner, attacking the Einsatzgruppen cavalry from behind, knocking them down with men and horses.

However, the special cavalry of the second echelon quickly rushed forward, and the weapons in their hands were completely different from their colleagues in the first echelon, no longer chains and shackles, but an iron rod. However, these iron rods are not used for beating directly like ordinary sticks. The Einsatzgruppen soldiers pointed one end of the iron rod at the vampire, pressed the switch with their hand on the end facing them, and a soft metal "fishing net" was thrown out of the iron rod and impartially covered the vampires who had dodged the attacks of the first echelon.

The soft metal fishing nets had also been blessed with holy light beforehand, and the vampires caught in the nets were like receiving a powerful electric shock, and the pain was unbearable, but the whole body was paralyzed and unable to break free. But that was not the end of the story, and soon the cavalry of the third echelon had caught up, and the soldiers had caught up with a short crossbow that could be operated with one hand, and the soldiers shot a series of short crossbow arrows filled with silver powder at the vampires caught in the net, ending their history of being in the world as undead.

Seeing his compatriots fall one by one, Uonik, who was in charge of staying behind, was furious, and he jumped directly from the tower more than ten meters high and stood in front of the cavalry of the Inquisition. The task given to him by the master was to hold the control of the tower and the city gate, how could he let it be retaken by the enemy?

One of the soldiers who rushed to the front picked up the chain at Ionix and threw the shackles over. Uonic did not dodge or dodge, and directly stretched out his right hand to catch the shackles. Although the divine magic blessed by the shackles made him feel a red pain from his palm to his heart, Uonik did not let go, he didn't even frown, and dragged the chain in his direction, and the soldier was caught off guard and dragged over. Ionik's free left hand smashed out with a punch, and the soldier's body pulled a long parabola in the air, flying out of most of the Holy City. In fact, the soldier's body had all been shattered at the moment of the punch, and he had died before he hit the ground.

Before the two horsemen who followed him could throw the chains that had been drawn twice, Uonic had already rushed to his horse. One of the cavalrymen was beaten away by the company with his horse, and the war cavalry and the cavalry themselves knocked over a dozen cavalrymen behind them with huge kinetic energy. Another cavalryman was grabbed by his little feet and pulled from the saddle to the ground. Then there was a very bloody scene: Uonik took the hapless cavalryman by the feet and tore him in half alive in the middle, splashing blood, internal organs, and brains everywhere.

The original momentum of the Einsatzgruppen was frightened, and they manipulated their mounts to keep retreating. Uonic had lost 70% of his strength by using the "Fist of Collapse", but after he sucked the blood of his soldiers, the Blood's strength was restored. Covered in blood, Uonik stood up from a pile of corpse fragments, looking like a demon returning from the abyss of death, and he used the mutilated corpse at his feet to warn everyone: Whoever dares to take a step forward, this is your fate!

Behind the retreating cavalry, several sharp arrows were suddenly fired, disembarking the fastest cavalry.

"Don't go back!

The inquisition's supreme officer, Chief Inquisitor Sixtus, stood in the middle of the Overseer's archers, shouting to halt his men's retreat. Although Sixtus was also a cardinal, he was completely incapable of fighting and could only command in the rear. Sixtus also didn't know much tactics, and the only thing he could do was to use ruthless means to turn the fear of his subordinates into courage, so that even if they died in battle, they must die on the way to attack.

Just as the vampire clan launched a vigorous frontal invasion of the Holy City, their lair, the Blood Mountain Range, thousands of miles away, was also invaded by humans.

The invasion here was too unorthodox in comparison, as there were only three humans invading the Blood Mountains: two men and one woman.

During the Battle of Hansha a month ago, Sophia was kidnapped by vampires, and Joika, Ray, and Dani, who fought alongside her, had to stay in the palace to recuperate because they were too badly injured to move. Although they later learned that Ohe Cassius, who was late, had entered the Blood Mountain Range with the assistance of an army to save people, but after a long time, no news came back, which made them extremely worried, so the three of them rushed to the Blood Mountain Range overnight while their injuries had eased a little and they could barely fight.
