Chapter 116: A Storm of Crows
If there is discord within the enemy, then the easiest way to ensure maximum benefit is to sit back and watch the tiger fight.
Maintain the posture of watching the fire from the other side, as long as you can not involve your own side, there is the possibility of fishermen benefiting. However, the reality of the situation did not allow the priests to remain still...
Nearly a full day has passed since the destruction of the makeshift stronghold on the Hill of Crosses.
During this time, neither the Hill of Crosses nor the Sciauliai side showed any signs of monster activity... As the executor of the Vatican, Anderson had to consider whether the other side had realized their presence and retreated. If that's the case, if the other party escapes to some densely populated place and starts mass-producing ghouls...
It's a time of war, and if that's the case, the front of either side could collapse at once! There's even a massive ghoul riot or something like that! And another thing strengthened Anderson's determination to strike tonight.
From dusk onwards, several unsettling crows began to hover over the city... It is obviously unconscionable that these greedy scavengers would give up the delicacy that is close to their mouths and flee to the mountains and forests.
Anderson, who is all too well aware of the Night Clan's habits, has some bad guesses that they must resolve this crisis as soon as possible before the situation spreads further - they can't wait any longer!
And the assignment of tasks is very simple and straightforward.
Before nightfall, Kars was transferred from the direction of the city into the open area around Siauliai. He was accompanied by Angel, a survivor girl who had been rescued from the base on the Hill of Crosses.
Anderson, on the other hand, is in charge of breaking through from the front and trying to directly eliminate all the remnants of the opposing side tonight.
This arrangement undoubtedly directly eliminated Kars from the battle sequence, but the teenager, who had been worried about the opponent's backhand, unexpectedly did not raise any objections to this strategy, and began to move away from Xi Oli with the little Lori at noon when the sun was at its hottest.
Right now... They should have left the battlefield completely.
In the moonlight, Anderson pressed two cursed swords in the palm of his hand, wandering alone in the streets of this dead city. A place where there are no human voices is indeed a paradise for monsters, and the cold wind constantly swayed the shadows of trees and wreckage, and let out a terrible roar. It's as if any dark corner can turn into a terrible blood basin, tearing apart the fragile human body and swallowing it...
No vampire would be stupid enough to fight the priests of the church in the scorching sun during the day... Just as no NightClan would give up the possibility of destroying the Holy See in the dark. In this neighborhood where the air was almost frozen, the target did not keep the priest waiting, but almost impatiently found the door himself.
- From what seemed to be the end of the night, a low dark cloud suddenly shattered into dense fragments and rushed towards this direction at a great speed.
At first, they were like silent black smoke that only knew how to spread and amplify, but when they got closer and closer, the chirps of "chirp" began to become more and more harsh and terrifying...
A faint red light in the night sky was lit up, and they were wrapped in pitch-black bodies, like a natural disaster, passing everything they passed, and then it seemed as if they were going to dye everything bright red!
… Corpses, dogs, insects, and even wolves from afar, everything that appeared in their path was "eaten" in an instant, leaving only some scarred remains and a strong smell of blood.
The sight was even more terrifying than the locust plague, and the creatures were soon followed in the footsteps of other victims, mixed together, and became disgusting pieces of flesh that no one could tell apart...
The priest's eyes narrowed.
What I feared did happen, but the scale still exceeded the previous estimate!
- There have been similar things before, where vampires can create ghouls by sucking blood, but this ability is not limited to humans... According to what is known so far, quite a few birds can be converted into ghouls in a similar way! Once such a change occurs, the scope and impact of the disaster may be further expanded due to the special nature of flying animals.
"Never forgive!!"
His fists were clenched, and Anderson's eyes behind his lenses almost erupted with fire! And at this moment, a crazy voice also came from the direction where the black cloud came... Although the young man's voice is still a little immature, the madness that penetrates into the bone marrow is still terrifying!
"Found you!!!! Hahaha!! ”
The flock of ravens in the sky finally found the target of the raid, as if a huge arrow was turning in the air, and in a few moments it launched a terrible attack in the direction of the priest!
Even if any one of them alone is not enough to threaten a powerhouse of Anderson's level, in the face of that scalp-numbing number, it is absolutely possible that the formula of ants biting more elephants to death can be established!
"Gah!"
The mournful chirp rang out as if death were singing loudly! The storm that belonged to the crows poured down on Anderson's side in an instant, and although the priest's sharp sword light was constantly shining, it was finally completely swallowed by the storm after a while.
When the natural disaster passed, in the mess, the blood-stained body fell to one knee, and the disc glasses that had been on the bridge of the nose had been shattered to the ground, and the original shape could not be found.
At this moment, a cold light suddenly burst out from the direction of the vampire!
In the priest's most vulnerable moments, the fatal stab finally took on a desperate shape.
…
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At the end of the wide plain, a hill that was not very tall came into view of the two of them.
Kars stopped the locomotive, then put the disassembled sniper rifle in his backpack and finally carried Angel out with him.
"Brother Kars... Are we going in the wrong direction? ”
"Of course not~"
He said this as he led the little girl up the hill - on both sides of the road, there were countless crosses, and even a large part of them were hidden in the shadows in the distance, with no end in sight.
There is no doubt that a special view like this can only be found on the Hill of Crosses, ten kilometers north of Siauliai... However, this is not a predetermined line of departure for the priest.
After a little observation of the surrounding terrain, the boy finally chose the most suitable place to stop, then unfastened his backpack and skillfully reassembled the sniper rifle.
"Angel..."
With a click, the boy pulled the bolt of the gun, and by the way, pushed the powerful bullet onto the rifling.
“?”
"Can you talk to me now?"
Surprisingly, the young priest pointed the muzzle of his sniper rifle at the girl in front of him!
The destructive firearm was almost on the other party's fair and lovely forehead...
"About vampires..."
Kars shook his head with a smile
"No, I mean, it's about your story."
(Little Lori didn't bento so quickly)
