Chapter 168: Death Comes
"What's going on?"
The sudden strong tremors and alarm bells made everyone present feel uneasy, and more people, before they could recover from the shock of the king being a monster, one after another, more unpreparedness happened, a large number of people ran outside, they wanted to escape from here, everyone felt that the palace had become the source of all chaos.
At this moment, a large number of king's guards outside the palace continued to rush into the palace, surrounding the entire palace, and thirty priests wearing chain mail and sackcloth cloaks suddenly poured out of the shadows and blocked them to death.
The camp of the King's Guard is in the north of the city, and these soldiers are trained there except for some of the people who are on duty in the palace on weekdays, and the plan formulated by Pete and Hans is to have a surprise attack by thirty priests and three thousand members of the Knights, surround the King's Guard camp and fort in the north of the city, and completely destroy the thousand monster legions that have turned into high-level ghouls.
The city guards kept order in the city and dealt with the low-ranking ghouls hidden in the sewers, thirty priests and three thousand knights dealt with the King's Guard, who had sunk into high-ranking ghouls, and Pete took matters into his own hands to deal with Ardnos.
However, everything did not go according to their plan, the three thousand knights did not arrive on time, and the king's guard made a surprise move and broke into the palace, and the members of the priesthood were forced to meet the enemy.
A high-level ghoul who burst out with a long sword and burst out of bloodline power pounced on it desperately, and thirty members of the priesthood team, each holding a church-standard your steel longsword, fought with them.
A priest's sword pierced the ghoul's chest, and the ghoul still unmoved towards the priest, and the priest's free white gloved hand pressed down on the ghoul's head, and immediately saw a white light flicker, and the entire head of the other party was torn apart.
When the thirty priests shot at the same time, the strong holy light swept out in pieces, and the large ghouls gathered dozens of meters in front of them were suddenly torn apart by the holy light, clearing out a large open space, if it was an ordinary army, this scene was enough to make them lose their fighting spirit, but the ghoul army didn't know what fear was, and they still kept killing.
The power of these high-level ghouls is beyond their imagination, each of them has multiple knight bloodline talents, combined to form a battle array, lightning speed, huge strength, uniform swordsmanship, if there are veterans left by the Levi Rebellion in the past, I am afraid that they will immediately recognize the thick shadow of the Night Stalker Knights on the bodies of these guys.
But the Church of Light is not the Church of Light of the past, thirty priests with divine seeds, just the kingdom of Mara, there are so many existences equivalent to beginner wizards, and the total number of official wizards owned by the entire tower is only a hundred.
However, when it comes to actual combat power, compared with a single priest and a wizard, the wizard's methods are more complex and changeable, not to mention compared to genius wizards like Ardnos and Edward, as well as Boer's formal students, but the speed and quantity that can be cultivated in batches are beyond the reach of wizards.
As the army of ghouls continued to rush up, the members of the priesthood continued to retreat, the white light continued to tear the ghouls who rushed up, and the corpse of a death knight wearing armor torn by the holy light fell to the ground, like a moth to a fire, as long as it did not die on the spot, I saw it immediately get up and rush up again, as long as the brains of these guys were not destroyed, they would be entangled endlessly, and the fast members of the priesthood could not react.
And these low-level priests, who can urge the Holy Light Trial, are only a few meters away, and after casting spells for a long time, they also enter a period of exhaustion, constantly retreating into the palace, falling into a melee, and after killing a large number of high-level ghouls, several death knights wearing black special armor suddenly appeared and rushed out.
Their strength is stronger, their speed is faster, and their speed is with an afterimage, and they have entered the special ghoul body transformed by Adenos, which is even stronger, and after integrating into the ghoul transcendent cells, they are far beyond their kind, and the holy light of these low-level priests has not yet been released, and the other party is already close to them, and the long sword dragged a black smoke shadow through the chest of a priest.
"Witchcraft!"
"Get out of the way!"
The priests reacted immediately, dragged the cursed companion behind him and supported him, blocking the opponent's continuous attacks, but it was still useless, and immediately saw the guy who fell into the witchcraft, the black gradually covered his chest and spread to the body, and the whole body was black as if he was burned into black coal, and the power of this death knight was attached to the burning curse, from the level of spiritual power, you can sense that the black smoke around this guy's body is constantly emitted, which is the cursed witchcraft power that emanates from within his body.
And at this time, several transcendent death knights wearing black armor and emitting a cursed black mist came out from behind, and six transcendent death knights with thousands of high-level ghouls surrounded them.
The original situation changed subtly in an instant, although the other party did not have many extraordinary knights, but the strength was extremely strange, difficult to prevent, more experienced in combat, stronger in body, plus thousands of high-level ghouls continued to pounce, the remaining members of the priesthood were difficult to resist, even if the other party relied on the number, they could slowly consume them, like a cat and mouse.
"Oh my God, what's going on?"
"The Guards? Priest? How did they kill them? ”
"It's not the Guards, it's monsters, they're all monsters!"
At this moment, the princes and nobles who rushed out from inside the palace happened to encounter this scene head-on, all the entrances and exits outside the palace were blocked by these death knights, and more than a dozen noble nobles and men were killed on the spot by these death knights.
They just rushed out, and then continued to retreat, and a large number of death knights poured out of the palace, these monsters who hid their faces in armor, all showed their faces at this moment, occupying the entire palace, and everyone else, like caged birds, was imprisoned in it.
And at this moment, outside the city, the three thousand Knights of the Church of Light, who had turned into ghouls, were rushing into the city to kill, and the thousands of city defenders who were hurriedly facing them started a fierce street battle, and a large number of ghouls who were originally blocked in the sewers took advantage of this gap to rush out and pounce on the ordinary people in the city.
The sound of fighting, screams, and panicked shouts instantly enveloped the entire city of Babs, and the raging fire began to spread, and people continued to die, killed by the death knights, bitten to death by a large number of low-level ghouls who rushed out, trampled to death by the panicked crowd, darkness and gunpowder smoke shrouded the entire city of Babs, and death came.
-----------------
A large number of ordinary knights and members of the priesthood in the palace continued to fight, and the various nobles also picked up their long swords and began to fight for their lives, Hans led the way to block the army of ghouls outside the main hall, and he couldn't figure out what went wrong with the plan, how could this happen, it was obvious that the other party was in a dead end, and was surrounded by himself and others, what is going on now?
But Pete figured it out at the moment, the key question was that it appeared on the three thousand knight legions, why didn't they arrive as planned, and what position did it appear? Why are the alarm bells ringing?
"What the hell did you do?" Pete's white hair stood up like a lion's mane, and his eyes widened as he looked at Adenos angrily.
A few of the guards and a few angry generals around Ardnos were fighting, and Ardnos and Pete were empty, or everyone knew that it would be a decisive battle between the two.
Ardnos spread out his hands and couldn't help but laugh smugly: "Haven't you figured it out yet? Your Knights? It's mine! ”
Pete immediately understood everything, grabbed the big red robe off his body, threw it on the ground hard, stepped on the stone steps with one foot, and looked at Adenos on the throne above, although he didn't say a word, the anger and anger in his eyes seemed to ignite the air.
Adenos also changed from a lazy and playful state, his expression became solemn, and he stood up from the throne, the blood-red monster pupil and Pete faced each other, Pete's body gushed out a strong holy light, the green light in Adenos's eyes was even stronger, and even the strong red silk around his body continued to squirm and flutter.
The strength of the two people collided with each other more than ten meters away, the air was so strong and oppressive that it could not be dispersed, everyone covered their mouths, and kept dodging around, for fear of being swept away by the aftermath of the extraordinary strength of the two of them, and even the desperate battle between the priest and the death knight slowed down, as if they understood that the real battle that would determine their fate had only come at this moment.
"In the name of God, judge your sins!"
"It's a pity that wizards don't believe in God!"
"Boom!"
