Amid the shrill bells, the sound of steel grinding sounded from all over the fortress. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The pillars of flame burned vigorously, spilling light down from the very top of the fortress, illuminating the lightless ocean and the Kuroshio Current.

"That's all demons?"

"That's right, the expected third wave, an hour ahead of schedule. The scale is also much smaller than the previous two. ”

Stone sighed softly: "After all, it is to celebrate the birth of Leviathan, the son of the sea born by the Mother of Darkness. If we exhaust the total amount, I am afraid that it will be far beyond the original expectations of mankind......"

On the high wall of the fortress, Ye Qingxuan frowned.

The demons in the sea follow the current, and now each current has become a transport line for the demons, carrying an endless number of demons forward.

Ultimately...... Converge in Avalon.

Damn the 'Avalon phenomenon'!

In human observations, almost all of the currents converge around Avalon, bringing a large number of fish waves every year, forming a natural shipping route.

All along, the unique conditions have brought immeasurable benefits to Anglo.

This is the 'Avalon phenomenon' that oceanographers and water scholars around the world have been pondering. As a result, no one ever imagined that the unique geographical advantage was not a favor of fate, but a harbinger of bad luck.

This is a huge trap created by the Lord of Destiny laid by Leviathan many years ago in order to engulf Anglo completely.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan rubbed his forehead with a headache: "How many people are in the Faith Department now?"

"A little over three hundred. ”

Stone's answer made Ye Qingxuan a little stunned.

"Isn't the establishment of the Witch's Hammer still there?"

"Originally, there were, but after the Doctrine of the Faith was split, it was also broken up and distributed to the Knights Templar, and only one name remained.

Mr. Maxwell later sent four hundred young men here, but unfortunately the time was too short to be useful.

When we left the Holy City, we took only 300 people with us, and half of them were old people like us, and half were too young.

There were only about 140 people who could fight. ”

"Too little. ”

"Enough. ”

Stone said, "There's at least one fort left to defend right now."

The purifiers of the Inquisition were born with a mission to fight against demons a hundredfold and more than their own. If we go on another crusade, we will probably face even more trouble.

I'm sure you'll soon get used to this disparity between friend and foe, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor. ”

Ye Qingxuan glanced at him, retracted his gaze, and continued to focus on the black tide surging in the sea: "Has the number of enemies been counted?"

"That's about 20,000 people. ”

Stone glanced at it and gave the answer: "Most of the evil sons in the sea are demons with a body length of two meters and half the height of an adult when they walk upright, and because their limbs are similar, they are called water ghosts or fish people.

There are more detailed categories such as the elite Bone Eaters, Tide Summoners, Deep Divers, Whale Shark Riders, and Storm Sacrifices with intelligence comparable to those of humans...... This is supposed to be a small tribe that has just hatched.

The strength of marine species is often polarized, and some species are like nomadic mountains, and just one is completely terrifying. It's more of this kind of demon that needs to rely on numbers to form a threat, and for natural disasters, this kind of thing is a consumable that has no value, and the scale of 100,000 or 100,000 can be used. It can also be used to make food when necessary, after all, the appetite of giant sea monsters is difficult to satisfy. ”

Ye Qingxuan listened silently, but he couldn't help but gasp in his heart.

Two-thirds of all the areas in the world that have been explored by humans are oceans. Less than one-tenth of one-third of the land is enough to cultivate enough land to support nearly 300 million human beings.

This is just a rough count of the Holy City, and with the tax evaders and slaves who hid their household registrations, as well as the number of people who underreported and underreported by various countries, the world's population is estimated to be around 400 million, according to scholars' estimates.

This is the limit of what can be fed by human land at present.

And what about the ocean......

Fish-people are not as picky as humans, seaweed, kelp, fish and shrimp can even be eaten, and once the seeds of the Dark Mother are sprinkled, then they can bear fruit all over the mountains and fields from the deep sea.

In the Holy City Enchantment, Ye Qingxuan had seen the kind of vesicle forest that gave birth to demons, and the terrifying transformation efficiency and scale were simply suffocating.

As long as there is a supply of ether in the leylines, even in just a few hours, living things can be broken down and reconstructed, so that the embryos of demons can be formed.

Because of this, every awakening of the Leviathan is a terrible event that threatens the security of the nations.

It often takes Anglo ten years in advance to prepare for the war, and the Holy City sends saints to ensure that the Leviathan can be resealed before the son of evil in the sea is hatched.

Now Ye Qingxuan can only rejoice that only the sea area of Anglo is affected, and the threat is limited to this sea of lightlessness.

This time the disaster must be resolved as soon as possible.

Humanity cannot afford a war of attrition with the sons of the sea.

Once the deformed system of the fish-people is truly formed, humans will have to face more than a hundred times the number of demons. Not to mention the giant sea monsters that feed on fishmen, as well as the Leviathan itself.

And now, Ye Qingxuan wanted to see how more than 100 people from the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine had repelled 20,000 demons.

"It's just a bunch of little things. ”

Shi Dong laughed twice: "Even the memory inheritance has not awakened, and there is no ability, but if you rely on the number, it is just a little more beast tide."

To be honest, I'm afraid it's not much to see. ”

As the two talked, the hiss grew.

In the boiling and tumbling murky waves, the first water spirits climbed onto the shore and crawled towards the fortress through rough gravel and gravel.

This was followed by the second, the third, and the fourth...... In the end, only a thick dark green shadow could be distinguished, like moss in the sea spreading and growing on the ground.

"Isn't it fully developed? ”

Stone narrowed his eyes: "I was born not long ago, and my calcium is insufficient, and my exposed bones have not hardened." ”

Ye Qingxuan followed his gaze, his gaze fell on the fishman at the front, and when he saw the peerless humanoid demon, he only felt that it looked like some kind of magnified deformed baby, the exposed bones still had a faint white color, covered with scales, and the head still had a large number of fish features.

Sensing the sight from the city walls, the fishmen raised their heads and hissed.

The sound of a sharp knife scraping an iron plate sounded one after another, which made people's hearts tremble. Even if you speak different languages, you can understand the meaning of the hissing sound.

-- Hunger.

From birth to this moment, there is still an insatiable hunger.

Born with an exuberant covet for human flesh and an insatiable greed.

Just by smelling the scent of a human being, the glands in the body secrete a large amount of rapidity, causing the muscles to bulge, the bones to proliferate, and the feeling of hunger to occupy all consciousness like a fire.

In an instant, the water ghost's body swelled in a large circle, and the huge eyes on both sides of the skull were already bloodshot, and in the whites of a large number of eyes, the strange pupils unique to fish contracted, trembled, and had fallen into madness.

"The fish-man has a very sensitive sense of smell, and the upper skin under the scales actually has a large number of olfactory cells. Like all species of demons known for their numbers, once they smell a human being, they will enter a certain stress response, abnormal secretion of glands, hunger pangs are multiplied, they do not know how to be full, and often die of too much food.

It is also worth noting that, whether it is an evolutionary mutation or something deliberate, they are rarely able to produce pleasant and satisfying feelings, and it is only when the digestive organs ingest the body's hemoglobin that the pituitary gland is able to synthesize a dopamine-like hormone......"

Stone paused.

Ye Qingxuan understood what he meant.

That is, they only feel pleasure when they eat people...... No, it's even like taking a forbidden drug, entering a state of madness.

They instinctively crave the human body, and even if they taste blood once, they will be ten times more crazy when they see a human for the second time!

"Predators made against humans?"

Ye Qingxuan muttered softly, and couldn't help but want to sprinkle two buckets of black dog blood on the grave of the Hundred Eyes.

Look at the good things you've done!

At that moment, he heard the hinges rubbing against each other, and the door to the fortress opened with a bang.

A hoarse song rang out.

"The Day of Judgment is coming!

That day is coming!

I don't know when that day will come!"

In a low voice, several burly priests walked out from behind the door.

Clad in chains and hoods and heavy iron armor, they looked like a mixture of hoplites and priests, but they did not hold holy texts or swords in their hands.

Instead, he held a flame that was more than two meters high.

The heavy, huge banner burned, glowing with a terrifying temperature and light.

The emblem on top of the banner is bathed in flames, as if dancing in song.

Behind the clergymen who held the flames in their arms, the sound of small footsteps rang out, hundreds of hundreds, and a loud and hoarse voice followed.

Like a song, like some kind of instinctive wild roar.

"The Day of Judgment is coming! The saints and sinners will be numbered on the right and left! Are you ready for this day? Are you ready for this day?!"

It's like a bunch of madmen and drunks frantically responding to each other, singing in a haphazard, shrill voice.

Ye Qingxuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Going out of the city now?"

"Because there are no equipment to defend the city. Stone said, "If you are pushed to the city wall, it will become troublesome, so it is better to solve it outside the fortress." ”

In the hoarse singing, the priest holding aloft the flame of the priest stepped forward, and Ye Qingxuan finally saw the figure in the chaotic queue following behind the priest.

Then I couldn't help but gasp.

In the light of the flaming banners, those who staggered and staggered after them, fanatically singing to the priests...... All demons!

The demons, with their huge cracks and scars, followed the priest like dogs, the twine on the back of their heads that had been stitched together showed rough stitches in the firelight.

They chanted the hymn in a noisy and staccato manner, and fanatically followed the flame banner......

"You raise demons?"

Ye Qingxuan looked back at Shi Dong with a stunned look in his eyes.

"I'm ashamed to say that. ”

Stone smiled awkwardly, "There are so many demons, you can't kill them all." The rest can't be slaughtered for rations, so they can only be used to use some residual heat......

Rumble!

Before the words fell, a terrifying fire rose from the water ghosts.

The firelight jumped, reflecting on Stone's face, illuminating the smile weird and hideous. (To be continued.) )
