Chapter 62: Holy War

As the action began, Eve managed to reach the assassination site under the cover of the kestrels, the crowd here was barely dense, but there were burning candles everywhere, and the flames were surging, and if anyone could look from above, they would be surprised to see that the fireworks were wrapped around the theater square like glowing tracks, and under the sound of prayers, it was like an altar for ancient ceremonies.

Standing on top of the circular staircase, where Eve had enough vision to observe the Pope on the high platform, behind him were the old stone pillars, on which Eve leaned closely.

Before the ceremony began, the makeshift platform was empty, and this was the center of the theater square, where the Orthodox Pope would soon be enthroned to kick off the ceremony.

"Are you nervous?"

Kestrel asked in a low voice on the side, to be honest, he didn't feel very good, and he trusted himself a little too much no matter how he looked at the fact that such a big matter as assassinating the Pope was entrusted to the two of them.

"I'm fine, it's just getting dark. ”

When the kestrel was wounded, the assassination had to be left to Eve, and unlike the reckless before, Eve was undoubtedly much calmer and more cautious now.

She looked at the end of the horizon, the range of her weapon was limited, and she might only have a chance to shoot, and if the light continued to dim like this, Eve was not sure that she would succeed in assassinating the Pope.

The prayers of faith continued, and although there was no definite time, the violin case had been opened as the prayers gradually became more and more intense.

It was a delicate rifle, the whole was quite a perpetual motion pump design style, there were many curved designs, like flowing steel, from some details, it really looked like an experimental product, there were rough edges and corners everywhere, and the complex mechanical structure could be seen through the gaps in the firearm, as if it had not had time to decorate the exterior, and it was pulled out to perform the task.

Surrounded by worshippers bowing their heads in prayer, and with the kestrel helping Eve to block it, no one noticed that this deadly weapon was taken out by Eve.

This is a weapon called the "Meteorite", although it sounds quite cool, but its range is pitiful, and it is only a little more than a regular rifle, Eve thinks that the Perpetual Pump will provide some super-range weapons to assist in combat, such as those Aska cannons, so that she doesn't have to rely on sniping the Pope so closely.

If there really was a weapon with an outrageous range, Eve would probably be in an attic with Kestrel right now, peering through the theater square with a scope, biting on bread and pulling the trigger to put an end to it all.

"So what's the difference with this weapon?"

Eve carried the meteorite and hid it under her robes, the only good thing about this weapon was that it was small enough to be disassembled, and in that sense, it was a weapon that was suitable for assassination.

It also comes with an extended barrel and scope, which, when attached, is held to the ground by Eve like a sword.

"I don't know, we don't even have time to test how to use this weapon...... What did Merlin say this thing came from?"

The kestrel took out a few bullets, this is a special bullet of the meteorite, unlike the regular bullets, this thing is a little longer, with intricate patterns and nesting, like a delicate handicraft, no one can understand why those guys like to pursue art in such a place.

"Aim, shoot, he said this thing is no different from a regular weapon, as long as you can pull the trigger, you can use it. ”

For some reason, Eve felt that the operation was becoming more and more ridiculous.

Suddenly, the believers were boiling, and they all raised their heads, and their movements were in unison, like machines, giving people an indescribably strange feeling.

Eve and Kestrel both sensed the change in atmosphere, and they fell silent, their breathing down, their eyes fixed on the empty platform.

Are you going to get started?

Thinking so, Eve retreated slightly, hiding in the shadows behind the kestrel as the cold metal sound rang out as she set up the meteor.

After a brief silence, someone slowly walked out of the high platform.

Migar's face was expressionless and solemn, but the excitement in his heart seemed to be pouring out of the five holes.

What a deep wish he had made, and he had longed for it for too long.

Looking down at the crowd below, the believers all raised their heads one after another, their eyes fanatical, and all eyes were focused on Migr's body, as if there was a light attached to it.

That's faith, that's power.

Behind him the believers hold up the crown of gold, and soon Migar will wear this holy crown under their gaze and become a servant of God, a servant of all servants.

"Let's get started. ”

Migar said to herself.

The words were like a spell, it triggered something, and Miglas saw it.

At the end of his sight, at the moment of the transition between day and night, he saw a boiling light rising from the end of the horizon, like a volcano, a pillar of fire that pierced through the heavens and the earth, and then condensed into a solid wave of air to roll up dust and debris.

They were like invisible legions, enveloping everything in their path, destroying them one by one, tearing them into countless pieces, shaking the streets, shattering the glass one by one, like the tide of the sea, rushing through every crevice until it reached Migr's eyes.

It's like the end times.

There was no time to warn, and by the time Migr noticed this, the catastrophe had already arrived, and all the sounds were replaced by a deafening roar, as if a storm had descended upon it, and the candle flame was extinguished in a flash under the darkness, and the world was plunged into darkness.

The platform collapsed and the crowd toppled over.

Eve leaned her back against the stone pillar, and waves of air rushed through her sides, she had thought that Lorenzo's explosion would alarm many people, but she didn't know that it was so powerful.

The meteorite swayed back and forth in the frantic currents, and Eve struggled with all her strength to control it, her eyes shining through the scope, and in the dim darkness she tried to find Migar.

The unexpected explosion disrupted everyone's plans, and Eve saw Migel's position from behind the scope, the future Pope was so embarrassed that he clutched the unfallen wreckage of the platform and tried not to let himself fall.

"Farewell. ”

Eve said and pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, the other hand grabbed Eve's fingers, so that the finger that pulled the trigger could not be pressed, and Eve was knocked down.

"What are you doing, Kestrels!"

Eve cursed, but before she could ask more, the kestrel grabbed Eve's mouth and took her tumbling under the circular staircase with the help of the tyrannical current.

It was the same mess here, with a lot of messy debris being pushed over, like a simple bunker that could temporarily block the two of them.

"What are you doing!"

Eve was about to blow up, and as soon as she pulled the trigger, the group's operation was over.

"Shh......h

Kestrel looked at her with great seriousness, and then he pointed to the believers.

Eve no longer had a seizure, but looked down his fingers.

Many people fell over under the impact, groaning in pain, but the strange thing is that there are still many believers who have not fallen, they are like stone pillars, standing firm under the impact, and the light of steel is revealed under the torn robes, hunting in the air.

"Look closely, Eve, this is your internship and a life-and-death contest. ”

Kestrel reverses his previous neurotic foul and teaches Eve like a veteran.

Eve listened to him, and then her eyes froze.

"After all, the purification mechanism is fighting demons, and this thing itself is relatively mysterious, so sometimes the mysterious intuition will save our lives. If you feel it, what do you think they are?"

The sound of the kestrel echoed in my ears.

Those believers were different from the others, they were like sentinels watching their surroundings, and the sweet blood of the scarlet was emanating from them.

They moved slowly, and as they went, they could see blood-stained blades under their robes and corpses being disposed of in the corners.

This group of people who shouldn't be here, they don't fit in with everything here, like merciless beasts, and the impact of the explosion has no effect on them...... No, there is still an impact.

One cultist after another rose from the ground, with the same indifference, and then more and more of the guys appeared in front of Eve's eyes.

"Choir ......"

Eve's voice froze, there were not only a bunch of cultists gathered here, but also an army blessed by secret blood.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if she pulled the trigger, and she wouldn't even have a chance to escape, and she would be cut into pieces of flesh by countless blades.

"Give up on action, it's not something we can deal with. ”

Kestrel whispered, pushing Eve's violin case over.

"No, we may still have a chance," Eve vetoed the kestrel's proposal, tightening the gun and hiding it under her own robes, "our disguise hasn't been seen through yet, maybe there's still a chance." ”

"If you are found out, you will die!"

Kestrel felt that the girl was a little too dedicated...... No, why are you such a dedicated intern?

Wait a minute...... From a certain point of view, it seems that it is really opened by her family.

Eve didn't know about the kestrels' divergent nerves, but finally got serious, and he played with himself again.

"Wait for Lorenzo, now it's up to us to see if we can kill the Pope by the way after Lorenzo's operation, after all, that guy is ridiculously strong, and although there are many of these choirs, they are not a threat. ”

Eve said as she stepped out of cover.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Eve like this, the kestrel grabbed her.

"What else can you do, continue to pretend to be a believer. ”

Eve said as she grabbed the kestrel and dragged him out of cover.

"The scene must be chaotic now, maybe we still have a chance to assassinate the Pope. ”

There was a cold touch in his arm, and with a slight shake of Eve's hand, the lancet slipped into his hand.

Ever since the Black Mountain Hospital incident, Eve has fallen in love with this weapon, which is small and delicate, unexpected, and perfect for assassination.

"Wow, you're really crazy. ”

Kestrel didn't know whether to admire Eve or admire her madness.

The two of them tried to pretend to be believers, and slowly leaned towards the collapsed position of the high platform.

The roaring explosion apparently alarmed everyone around, and the singing in the Yega Theater ceased, and a continuous stream of siren whistles sounded in the distant city.

Rennet walked out of the dimly lit Yega Theater with the orchestra, and due to the aftermath of the gas pipe explosion, the people who lit the lamps did not continue to light the street lights, and everyone was in a panic, and no one was lighting up the dark world.

Gradually, a light rose in the theater square, and the faithful lit the candle again, making it the only light.

"Ah......h

Renette looked at the peaceful world, where the believers carried the sundries, tended to the wounded, and prayed in low voices.

The members of the group on the side looked at their leader, and the performance they were expecting was interrupted like this, and he was about to comfort him, but he heard Rennet whisper.

"Heaven is destined to ......"

He was excited.

"God wants me to perform this great song. ”

"Huh?"

The members of the group couldn't understand what the hell this regiment leader was thinking.

I saw him shouting excitedly.

"Come, let's compose the music for this sacred scene!"

Juao and Ria helped the wounded to their feet, they couldn't figure out what was going on, but they could see the flames from the direction of the street.

"What's going on?"

Juao muttered to himself, but then a voice rang out from the wreckage beside him.

"Juao!"

Lia called out Hu Ao's name, and she was standing next to the wreckage, waving her hand for Hu to help.

He was still very powerful as a sailor, so Juao walked briskly, and through the dark gap he could barely see the man's appearance.

"Your Majesty!"

He shouted in amazement.

The orchestra was ready, and under the direction of Rennet, melodious tunes sounded in the night in this somewhat poor makeshift venue.

Everything seemed beautiful until a dark figure came from the direction of the street against the roaring fire.

More and more of them, until the light of the burning fire was completely obscured, as if it were absolute darkness, and the believers of the evangelical church raised their weapons in their hands and shouted loudly.

"Heresy!"

They are angry, they need to vent, they hate this emerging sect, they want to destroy it.

No one knows exactly who rallied these people, but that's how they really appeared, and in the eyes of these fanatics, many of them don't make sense, and they see the explosion as God's will.

God was angry, and in order to appease his anger, they wanted to destroy the enthroned Orthodoxy.

The Mounties tried to stop them, but only then did they realize that they had very few colleagues around them.

Where are they going? No one knows.

The mounted police blew the whistle hard, but nothing changed, and little by little they were swallowed by the crowd.

The darkness of the night and the darkness of the city hid the atrocity, and some of the perceptive ones smelled the sweetness of blood, but they looked into the darkness and saw nothing, and it was then that the choir moved, for which they were prepared.

The two faiths are about to collide together, triggering a mad holy war.
