Chapter 753: A Touch of Fire
"Sophia seems to be recovering well, she won't have to come back again!"
Lying on the chaise longue, Leylin said very leisurely.
"Hmmm! thank you!" Belinda's eyes were a little red, although she didn't know why, but since Sophia drank the strange tea drink made from the green tree on Leylin's side, her symptoms were significantly reduced, and now she has matured a lot.
"Then again, what exactly is this 'tea', some kind of potion?"
Belinda asked a little puzzled, and at the same time her heart was full of gratitude to Leylin - she simply thought that Leylin cultivated the little tree to treat Sophia, and of course Leylin would not expose this beautiful misunderstanding.
"Oh, it's just the name of a drink in my hometown, it's also extracted from plant leaves, it's a bit similar to this one......"
Lei Lin obviously didn't want to say much.
"What are the customs on the overseas islands, I really want to travel there with you one day......" Belinda's eyes seemed to have a crystal liquid in them.
"Well, there's always a chance!"
Leylin yawned, not in good spirits.
"Okay, Sophia, what good story did you bring to your grandfather Nick today?"
Lei Lin looked at Sophia on the side, and the other party had already drunk the tea in his hand at all.
"Oh, I heard Sister Egnes say that this time the Holy City has prepared a big counterattack, and even the prepared 'Punishment Legion' will be dispatched......"
"And ...... The Holy City is now under full martial law, and there are even plans to integrate all the residents and implement unified management!"
......
"That Thomas is really stupid! Just leaked all the precious information, Sophia is amazing!"
Sophia held her head proudly. There was a sly smile in his eyes.
"Well, Sophia is the best!"
Lei Lin nodded slightly approvingly, listening to the other party's narration every day. Information from all sides of the Holy City was gathered in front of his eyes.
However, with Sophia's statement, his head drooped lower and lower, and finally even closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Sophia immediately stopped talking, and her eyes turned slightly red.
"Let's go!" Belinda choked up in her voice, draped a leather coat over Leylin, and left with Sophia.
They are also very busy every day now. The time that can be pumped out is very short.
Perhaps, there is also a reason why I don't want to look at Lei Lin like this.
However, when they left, Lei Lin opened his eyes, and there was a bright light shining out of his eyes: "Has it come to this point? Armageddon looks like it's coming! Then, it's time for my plan to be launched!"
"By the way...... And a few rats to solve it together!"
Leylin's eyes glanced to the side, as if through the wall, he saw another place.
Afterwards. He closed his eyes again, and fell into a deep sleep like those old men who were not in good spirits.
......
The precious crystal bottle was swept straight to the ground, splashing a large amount of debris.
"At times like these. As a noble descendant of Steward, I had to go to war, but he stayed there so well, I can't figure out what my sister thinks!"
Thomas gasped. The armor on his body was stained with blood.
"Master Thomas, after all, our Steward family is the garrison family of the Holy City for generations, and it is our duty to guard the Holy City......!
Next to him is a middle-aged butler with white hair. One eye has been completely lost, leaving a deep hole. At this time, he opened his mouth to persuade.
"Moreover, the eldest lady must have seen some kind of hole card hidden by the other party, so she ordered us not to offend, I believe that in the eyes of the eldest lady, we will not see the wrong person!"
"But...... But I can't stand it anymore! And those two, not only Sophia, but now even Belinda runs over to visit each other from time to time, what do you think of our Steward family?"
Thomas shouted, while the butler on the other side sighed to himself.
Obviously, the other party is a free citizen, and even Belinda took the initiative to contribute to the garrison of the Holy City, and now he just goes to visit his friends from time to time, and there is no reason to condemn him on his side, of course, for this gentlemanly young master, he must not listen to it.
"I can't stand it! I can't stand it! Mambas! I have to find a way to make that Nick disappear forever! During the war, this should be a very simple thing!"
Thomas's face was gloomy, and there was murder in his eyes.
"Obey orders, honorable young master, your will is our mission! But now is the time when the Second Elder is preparing to lead the Punishment Legion to counterattack, please be patient for this time......
The old butler bowed again to ninety degrees.
"I know, I know, this damn the big picture!" Thomas muttered dissatisfiedly, but did not refute again, much to the relief of the old butler.
But what he didn't notice was that at the bottom of Thomas's eyes, the erasure machine not only did not dissipate, but became more and more vigorous......
At night, Agnes was wearing crystal armor and standing on the walls of the Holy City, looking through the Arc de Triomphe, and she could see the dense army of gluttonous beasts.
These gluttonous beasts have been polluted by the rules of gluttony, and it is difficult to see their true body from their current appearance, but the same thing is the terrifying and powerful energy fluctuations on their bodies, as well as the desire for food, which makes Agnes shudder.
Since the days of Purgatory are very short, the night is the time when many creatures are active.
The gluttonous beasts also rarely rested, and often when they were physically exhausted, they would eat their own kind that had died in the previous siege, so they appeared to be more energetic.
The result is a grim form that is even more terrifying than the daytime.
Looking at the commotion of the beast herd line not far away, Agnes, who had long been experienced, knew that this was a signal that the other party was ready to attack.
She jerked around and looked at the guards on the wall.
Most of these guards were garrisons run by the Steward family, and some volunteers and forced labor.
"Mother of the Great Lord, my brothers of the Blood, shall we allow those filthy and vile beasts to enter the Holy City and pollute the Supreme Glory of Our Lady?"
Agnes took a deep breath, and her voice echoed across the line.
"Can't!" "Can't!" "Can't!"
At this time, the holy city, all the residents in it were diehards of the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes, and they naturally roared vigorously at this time.
"Very good! Tear them apart for me! This battle! Our holy city will win!"
Agnes let out a loud roar as she waved the snake-headed nine-section whip in her hand.
"Victory!" "Victory!" "Long live Steward!" "Long live Steward!"
A large number of guards chanted together, and the atmosphere was extremely intense.
Seeing that the emotions of the guards had been fully mobilized, Agnes breathed a sigh of relief and retreated from the entrance of the city wall.
"You're doing a great job!
Belinda walked over in her military uniform.
"But I don't think that's enough!" Agnes smiled bitterly and put her arm around Belinda's shoulders, "How are the Second Elder and the Punishment Legion doing?"
"It's all ready, ready to fight at any time!" Belinda didn't struggle, and her voice was very calm: "If it goes well, after this operation is successful, we may be able to re-advance the battle line to the vicinity of Crescent Lake......
"Huh...... Smooth?"
Agnes smiled, put her lips to Belinda's ear, and lowered her voice: "Belinda, you go! Take Sophia, and maybe that Nick, get out of here, the farther away the better!"
"Why?" Belinda was surprised, and the hot air coming from the other person's mouth made her ears itch red.
"You don't have faith in the Holy City?"
"If my enemy is another Supreme Legion, even in the face of siege, I will not be afraid!But ......" Agnes shook her head: "You also know the habits of these gluttonous beasts, right?Belinda, the most terrifying thing about them is not their strength, but their contagion! In the war, I have dozens of fourth-level clansmen here who have been polluted by the power of gluttony...... In order to prevent the contamination from spreading further, we even had to 'destroy' them outright."
"This kind of thing!" Belinda's eyes widened, obviously surprised.
"As long as you don't kill that damn Gluttonous Monarch, these Gluttonous Beasts won't be defeated one day, now, understand?"
Agnes lifted Belinda's chin lightly.
"So, come with me!"
Belinda gritted her teeth, after all, the other party was pretty good to her and Sophia, and she didn't want to watch the other party die here.
"Huh...... You can all go, but I can't leave!" Egnes smiled, but the smell was ominous.
"Is it for the family?" Belinda's expression was complicated.
"Yes, we were ordered to guard the Holy City during the Steward family era, how can I, as the heir, leave now?"
Agnes laughed and pushed Belinda, "Let's go!
"This ominous feeling!"
Belinda's eyes turned red and she almost burst into tears, there were so many things that had happened lately that this strong girl was almost a little unacceptable.
"O Great Mother of the Lords, send down your mercy and save it all!"
Belinda looked at the statue standing in the center of the Holy City, and couldn't help but kneel down reverently, praying solemnly.
The great statue of the Ten Thousand Serpents stared at all this with a blank face, as if it had seen it all, with a smile that was under control, and as if nothing had changed.
The breeze blew, which made Belinda feel cold, and even a little scared. (To be continued......)
