Chapter 84: The City of Blood and Fire

Just three days before Putanis sent his letter to the City of Light, a horrific and bloody massacre took place outside the Duke, and the massacre was so brutal that hundreds of villagers had their limbs cut off alive, not even a single survivor.

A merchant who happened to pass by smelled the unbearable stench coming from the village, so he went to the village to check, and the hell he witnessed almost scared him into madness, the merchant was so frightened that he threw away all his goods, rode directly on his old horse, and ran to the seat of the Holy Light Church in Hesse, and was personally received by the Supreme Bishop of the Far South, Putanis.

Hesse is the only city in the dukedom, the duke canonized by the Elfit Empire, all the high-ranking officials of the entire dukedom, and some small nobles with few territories live here, and the bishop of Putanis personally received a merchant The matter of course could not be hidden from the duke's ears and eyes, and then the duke received the news that the personnel of the Holy Light Church in Hesse City had been dispatched, and then he also received a report from the messenger of the Holy Light Church that a brutal massacre had occurred in a small village outside his city.

However, the Duke did not leave with the Bishop, but continued to stay in the Duke's Palace, he did not seem to care about what was happening outside the city, but symbolically sent a few soldiers to follow the Church of Light to investigate the matter.

The bishop left Hessian City, and it didn't take long to arrive near the village, and personally investigated the situation inside the village, and he had been friends with the destruction sect and other cults for too long, after seeing the way the villagers were tortured and killed, he instantly realized who did it, and immediately decided, decided to entrust other affairs to his deputy bishop, he personally led a part of the elite team to investigate the village massacre, and let the rest of the people and horses all return to the city to station, to prevent the cult from having any ideas about Hessian City.

However, two days after the bishop left Hesse, evil creatures suddenly appeared inside Hesse City, and captured the cathedral in Hesse City with lightning speed, and all the clergy who had lost the protection of the church were killed, even the vicar did not escape from the ascension, and the church soldiers without the command of the vicar were leaderless, and they were broken from all sides, and there was not one church personnel who escaped from the city.

After receiving this news, Bishop Putanis realized that he had been transferred from the mountain, so he led the soldiers outside the city gate, united some imperial soldiers who were still sticking to the outside of the city, and launched an attack on the city, but the effect of the attack was not ideal, the city wall has been occupied by evil objects and cult personnel, and the hastily assembled coalition forces of the church empire did not even have all the siege equipment, and failed to capture the walls of Hesse City, so they could only retreat helplessly, watching the evil things wreak havoc in the city.

Listening to the screams and cries that did not stop in the city for several days and nights, the hearts of these warriors were dripping blood, Putanis took a church located outside the city as his command post, and at the same time ordered the construction of a batch of siege equipment to be hurried, just today, the siege equipment was finally completed, Putanis decided to launch a second attack as soon as possible, so after solving the problem of the prisoners, he summoned his two henchmen, Sister Lutha and Priest Karma, to discuss the problem.

"Your Excellency. A nun dressed in a black monastic robe walked into the church quickly, carrying a meteor hammer stained with black blood in her hand, and the blood slowly passed to the red stall at the entrance of the church, and then turned into a cloud of black gas and disappeared.

The hem of the nun's black robe had been cut open by something, her long, slender and white legs were exposed, and the robe was stained with black blood, apparently after a fierce battle.

When the require saw the nun enter the church, he closed the door.

"Sister Lusa, you're late, we've been waiting for you here for a long time. Putanis stood on the evangelistic pulpit with his back to the nun who walked in.

"I'm very sorry that I was attacked by an evil creature on my way here, so I was delayed. Sister Lusa replied without being humble or arrogant, and when she looked around, she saw that the chief priest of Kalma was sitting on the bench under the evangelistic pulpit.

From the gate to the evangelistic pulpit, there was a long path, which separated the rows of benches on the left and right, Karma sat on the left, Lusa sat on the right, and the chains of the Meteor Hammer swayed with the nun as she walked, making a rattling sound.

"Karma, what's the situation in the city now?" Putanis didn't ask about Lusa's tardiness, this is an extraordinary time, and any kind of accident can happen, turned to look at Karma Priest.

"Back to the Bishop, the city is still in chaos, evil things are still raging everywhere, the flames are raging, according to the escaped Imperial soldiers, the granary has been burned down, but the guards of the Duke's Palace are still holding on. ”

"How long can they hold out?" asked Putanis, who was most concerned about this, if the situation allowed, he could send an elite team to focus on rescuing the Duke's Palace after taking the city walls, but he didn't want to pay the price of a few dead elites to save an empty Duke's Palace, these elites were the future of the Church, and Putanis had no reason to spend their lives on meaningless things.

"The defenses of the Duke's Palace are strong... But with the methods of the cultists, we must prepare for the worst. Priest Karma replied.

"If you want to rescue the Duke's Palace, our Sisters of Combat are willing to take on this mission. Sister Lutha suddenly interjected, with an eager expression.

"Now let's not talk about the rescue of the Duke's Palace, what about the people who escaped from the city, have you arranged it?" asked Sister Lusa, turning to Putanis.

"We have tried our best to appease the civilians who escaped from them, and at the same time evacuate them to the surrounding villages, but unfortunately it has not worked well, some evil creatures have mixed with the civilians to attack our nuns, causing great trouble to our efforts to evacuate the people, and what is even more hateful is that some of the rebels have taken advantage of the chaos to insult and even attack our nuns, but these people have been dealt with by us. As she spoke, the nun unhappily waved the meteor hammer in her hand and slammed it on the bench in front of him, smashing it directly, and this sudden sound shook Karma Priest.

"Sister Lusa, please pay attention to your manners, this is a church! Not a training ground for your Sisters Combat Corps!" Priest Kalma obviously couldn't bear Mother Lusa's actions anymore, and roared directly.

"Tsk, I don't need you to remind me.... Old bald man... Sister Lutha said this in a voice that was faint enough for Karma to hear.

"You!" said Karma stood up from the bench in a fit of spirit, but when he saw the meteor hammer in Sister Lusa's hand, he gritted his teeth and sat back.

"Let women go to war .... It's stupid... If it weren't for the bishop's consent... Damn," Priest Karma cursed through gritted teeth in a voice that no one else could hear.
