Chapter Seventy-Three: The Withdrawal of the Two Popes
"Protect the Pope! Everyone, get out! With a wave of the long sword, after not being able to use various secret methods and spells, only a few dark knights among the people present still retained relatively complete combat power, so the task of protecting Lucas's departure fell on Mingsha's head, and Mingsha immediately organized the remaining more than ten dark knights to escort Lucas, who had almost no strength, to break through.
More than a dozen dark knights formed a simple formation and rushed towards the direction where the firepower was weakest, but S.H.I.E.L.D., which had air supremacy, easily discovered them, since S.H.I.E.L.D. came and launched an attack on them, it was impossible to stop, no matter how bad it was, all the elites of the two major churches would be left, and the best case would be to kill Lucas and De Saka, so that the two churches would be leaderless and would be easily cleaned up by S.H.I.E.L.D.
For this reason, the communication in a radius of thousands of miles centered on the battlefield of Lucas has been completely blocked by S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Send a reserve to intercept them for me." Nick commanded as he looked at the black dots gathered on the screen.
"Beta Squad, immediately go to XXX, XXX to establish an ambush circle, and be sure to annihilate all those who break through from that direction." Hill glanced at the screen and knew what Nick meant, to be able to gather so many people in this situation should be the top of the Dark Church, and maybe even the current Dark Pope Lucas himself.
"Increase your firepower, you must wipe them all out here this time!" The members of the Council watched the dragons and members of the Dark Church scattered.
"Yes sir, the second echelon has arrived on the battlefield." For the first time, Nick and the Council agreed that although he opposed the order to use a nuclear bomb, it did not mean that he would let go of the 'black sheep'.
The Council had proposed the use of nuclear bombs long before the start of the battle, but Nick knew that nuclear bombs could be used as a last resort, after all, once nuclear bombs were used, it would mean that the situation was out of control, and nuclear bombs might not be able to keep the two popes, Lucas and de Saka, and because of the interference of nuclear bombs, as long as the two were not killed, they would inevitably be able to escape, and if the time came to cause the two churches to retaliate, it would be worth the loss.
So Chief Nick would rather lose more and keep these two guys here.
At this time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attack fell into a period of weakness, because after more than a minute of continuous indiscriminate bombardment, both ammunition loading and barrel heat dissipation were problems, and the fighters had almost emptied all the ammunition they carried, except for a few fighters with relatively sufficient ammunition who were still chasing the dragon, other fighters withdrew their supplies.
However, another battle formation from S.H.I.E.L.D. is about to arrive, and this time it is not only fighters, but also several large transport planes, which must undoubtedly be other Transformers reaction forces.
Because S.H.I.E.L.D. slowed down the fire coverage, DeSaka, who was in the center of the battlefield, finally breathed a sigh of relief and removed the Holy Barrier.
With the power of the godborn and the bonus of the angels, DeSaka was still able to barely cast the divine magic, but he also consumed too much power, and the scope of the sacred barrier was extremely small, only protecting DeSaka and a few people around him.
All but Nolan the Corpse Controller and a few angels around him were all bombarded by the artillery fire, because his position was in the center of the battlefield, so he received the most covering attacks.
"Jocelyn, S.H.I.E.L.D., you guys, good." With a wave of his hand, Desaka blew away the smoke and dust from the heavy bombardment, and roared like a beast as he watched the ground around him, which had been blown down several meters deep by the heavy artillery fire.
De Saka knows that both the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness are finished, no matter whether he and Lucas can break through, after this battle, although the two major churches will not be completely wiped out, they will definitely collapse, and S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely take this opportunity to really rise, as for the other blows?
If he or Lucas can escape, it may have some impact on S.H.I.E.L.D., but S.H.I.E.L.D., which has the support of the Council, obviously doesn't care.
"Your Majesty, what are we going to do?" Nolan asked hesitantly, neither he nor Desaka were warrior-type powerhouses, and how to break through from the center of the battlefield was a big problem when they couldn't use their respective strengths, and those S.H.I.E.L.D. Transformers reaction teams should have begun to parachute.
"Let's break through, Nolan, none of your 'holy sacrifices' can get up?" Desaka is still sane, but looking at the messy battlefield, he knows that the main attack range of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still in the center of the battlefield, whether it is around him or Lucas, there are the essence of the two major churches, and now although I don't know what the casualties are there, but it is definitely lighter than him, and the only people left here are a few angels and Nolan.
"Your Majesty, you have also seen that I have not adapted to this 'environment' now, and I am not able to drive the remaining 'sacred sacrifice' at all." Nolan's somewhat dry face squeezed out a wry smile.
Originally, Nolan who had the 'Holy Sacrifice' in his hands would not have fallen into this field at all, but after the fluctuations swept through the area, the 'Holy Sacrifice' lost contact with Nolan and fell to the ground, reduced to ashes in the raging artillery fire of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Damn, am I really going to die here?" De Saka looked at the formation of fighters/bombers flying in the distance, he was now overdrawn, and it was good to be able to stand, after all, it took many times more energy to drive dark energy now.
"Your Majesty, the Knights of Light on the edge of the battlefield should not suffer much losses, and the good quality of the enchanted knight armor and the number of people in the first place undoubtedly make the Knights of Light the unit with the highest combat effectiveness. Maybe we can hold out for their support? Nolan said, rolling his eyes.
"Hehe, maybe." Although Nolan was telling the truth, De Saka in the middle of the battlefield was not in the slightest happy because his own strength was well preserved, the other light knights were on the edge of the battlefield, and there was no time to rush to his position, and with only a few angels who had been overdrawn and could not release their divine magic, De Saka had no hope that he could break out of the encirclement.
......Just when De Saka was almost desperate, the sound of horses' hooves came from not far away.
"Knights of Light! Array! Escort His Majesty the Pope away! Prescott, with his torn armor, rode a bruised unicorn and led a group of knights of light, numbering no more than six or seven people, out of the battlefield filled with gunpowder.
"Prescott?!" Watching the bloodied knights, De Saka's mouth open wide, and at this moment his most unexpected person appeared.
