Chapter 564: A Trick to Ask for Your Life
Located in the Alps, on a mountain nearly 3,000 meters above the sea, stands a simple but solemn church and castle. Because the church is too high, few believers come here to worship.
But for many of the church's most established believers, they know that the church has a high status in the church. In contrast to other places, only the cathedral has a cardinal archbishop, but this church has three archbishops.
With this attention, it is enough to see the difference of this church. In addition, the Alps have always been regarded as the palace of the gods. So much so that many churchgoers believe that they can be more religious when they worship in this church.
Churches, which used to be visited by believers every once in a while, recently announced that they would not accept worship. As for the reason, the weather is naturally too bad to the outside, and going up the mountain at this time will cause accidents for believers.
Such a high sea dial is in the middle of the mountains, and ordinary people with poor physical strength or poor health may have accidents on the way up the mountain. For this reason, it is understandable that the church has suspended the entry of believers into the mountain.
But for those who know the church and the recent situation, they know that this castle church has become a temporary command post for the church's holy war. A large number of ascetics and archbishops arrived in the church to wait for the Pope's dispatch.
The Pope, who had secretly left the Holy City and arrived here, also gave various orders and instructions here, waiting for the arrival of the Satanist Society and other opponents. As for the final decisive ground, the Pope also wanted to place it near this ancient church.
For the church, this is their home turf, and fighting here will give them an advantage. And he believes that Satan will be with those hostile forces, and he should know this, and if he doesn't come, the church won't have much to lose.
At least judging from the current situation between the two sides, the members of the Church's Inquisition have suffered serious losses, and Satan has not bargained with other evil forces. The real core powerhouses on both sides actually did not make easy moves.
And the final tiebreaker still needs to look at the strength of the strong players of all parties. Just like the old saying of the Celestial Empire, 'the winner is king, and the loser is the loser', this sentence actually has a similar meaning to the two sides of this battle.
Satan will unite with other evil forces to wage another holy war against the Church. If the church wins the eventual victory, they will still be able to secure their current position and even further enhance the church's standing in the hearts of governments.
Conversely, if the church loses this battle, then the interests that the church currently has will be greatly affected. On the other hand, Satan and other evil forces may devour the faith community that the church now has, and seize the benefits that originally belonged to the church.
When it comes to such a major matter as the inheritance of the Church, the Church, from the Pope to the ordinary members of the Inquisition, is ready for it. As for the ascetics, from the day they were chosen ascetics, they were destined to exist to defend the reputation of the Church.
Looking at the archbishops sitting under him, the Pope, who was wearing the crown of the holy weapon, also said directly: "Have the forces of the churches in various places been gathered? Is there any problem with the situation of each branch?"
"Your Majesty, according to your decree, all the Bishops of the Branches have arrived, except for one Archbishop and two Bishops. Governments have also pledged to ensure the security of the Church during jihad. ”
In order to stabilize the interests of churches in various places, it is natural to need a large number of masters. Now that these masters have come here to participate in the holy war, the safety of the branch churches is also worth worrying.
For security reasons, the Pope also consulted with the heads of government not to ask them to send special forces to the war, but to stand on the side of the Church and prevent other evil forces from attacking the branches of the Church in various places at this time.
From the perspective of interests, governments are more wary of the Satanist Society and other evil forces. If the church can eradicate these forces, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages for the government. Therefore, this cooperation is beneficial for both parties.
If evil forces are allowed to destroy the church, it will also cause panic among the people. The church that has existed in Europe for so many years has a large number of believers. For these believers, the destruction of the church is the destruction of their spiritual beliefs.
In fact, the evolution of the jihad this time is also related to the joint pressure of various governments. After all, in this era of science and technology, the influence of governments cannot be carried by the church!
"Is there any news from Satan at the moment?"
Although the government remained neutral in this holy war, it still gave the church a lot of support in terms of intelligence. In any case, the nations have cooperated with the church forces for many years, and they also hope that the church will achieve the ultimate victory.
If an evil force like Satan is allowed to achieve a final victory, it will also have a great impact on the stability of all countries. The number of believers in the church alone is enough to cause political turmoil in some countries.
The archbishop, who is in charge of intelligence, also said in a timely manner: "Pope, according to the information we know so far, a large number of core personnel of the Satan Society have arrived in the Alps one after another. The pioneers have already started a confrontation with us.
In the course of the early confrontation, we have already found that the werewolves and the blood clan have sent strong men to participate in the battle. According to the latest information, a duke has appeared on the blood side, and there are also many strong people on the werewolf side.
The only thing to be wary of is that Satan never shows up. It's just that the nine black envoys under his command have all appeared. Because their staging areas are so heavily guarded, it's hard for us to get more useful information. ”
Being able to fight against the church for many years, Satan will naturally have two brushes, and the Pope knows this very well. For the old opponent, the Pope looked into the distance and said: "He will definitely not be absent from such a battle!
Compared to the duke of the blood family, the Pope is not too worried. The reason is very simple, the spells practiced by the church can restrain the blood clan to a large extent. For this holy war, the Pope brought out all three holy artifacts of the Church.
Under the increase of the Hallows, the Pope's strength can also be further improved. The only thing the Pope can really fear is Satan, who has strange and mysterious whereabouts. This time, the Pope is confident that Satan will definitely appear again!
Before the battle, the spies and pioneers of both sides first engaged in a fierce confrontation. Around the perimeter of the castle church, both sides launched a tear up. This kind of tearing and killing is a great experience for the low-level monks on both sides.
If you want to become a real powerhouse, you must go through a real bloody battle. The monks on both sides were aware of this. The rise of any strong man must inevitably go through the baptism of blood and tearing.
Nicholas of the Blood Clan, who was captured by Xu Haibao this time, was also a pioneer sent by the Blood Clan to the Castle Church to be responsible for reconnaissance. After a battle with the adjudicators of the church, Nicholas also felt that his blood was very draining.
Nicholas, who was in urgent need of blood replenishment, saw Xu Haibao walking alone in the mountains, and naturally felt that this was blood food sent to the door. But he didn't expect that Xu Haibao, who was obviously harmless to humans and animals, turned out to be a great demon king who destroyed the world.
After transforming, looking at Xu Haibao, who was still calm, Nicholas still said with a little weakness: "Oriental, this is just a misunderstanding, I have already apologized to you, are you sure you want to be an enemy of the blood clan?"
"Alright! As far as I'm concerned, whether it's the Bloodline or the Church, I don't care much. All I care about is that you are trying to attack me. If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. Since you want to use me as blood food, you must pay the price.
Besides, as I said before, as long as you can resist my move, then I will let you go. If you can't even stop my move, then you will die. Anyway, you're also a noble blood clan, so you won't be afraid of me, an Oriental, right?"
Listening to what Xu Haibao said, Nicholas wanted to scold 'MMP'. He had shown enough sincerity before, which was enough to give Xu Haibao face. But Xu Haibao doesn't seem to be able to get oil and salt, which really makes him want to scold.
The problem is that he can feel the deadly threat brought by Xu Haibao. As Bloodborne, they have a long life. But because of this, they care very much about their own lives. Once they fall, they will feel very unwilling!
Just when the thoughts were surging in Nicholas's mind, Xu Haibao said very calmly: "Are you ready? I'm going to do it? One move, no matter what way you resist or escape, as long as you avoid my move, I will spare your life." ”
"Okay! I don't believe it, I won't be able to stop your move! Arrogant Oriental, you can make a move!"
When the words fell, Nicholas was ready to transform in an instant, but Xu Haibao's spiritual power was instantly released, and he said softly: "Star picker!"
The moment the transformation was interrupted, Nicholas really felt the great shock that Xu Haibao brought him. This kind of shock even caused his soul to shake. In the end, he could only watch Xu Haibao insert one hand into his chest.
As he stared down, Nicholas looked incredulous and said, "How is this possible?"
Since you know the mystery of the Orientals, you should know not to offend the Orientals easily. Most importantly, you are ignoring a fundamental problem. At this time, I dare to appear here, which in itself is worthy of vigilance?"
Xu Haibao, who said this, ignored the somewhat blind Nicholas. Holding the heart taken out of the other party's body, Xu Haibao soon found that the crystals in the heart seemed to have become a little unstable.
Considering that this crystal was a little weird, Xu Haibao directly threw it into the Chaos Bead Space and let the Bead Spirit suppress and peel it off. At least one thing Xu Haibao can confirm, that is, the Chaos Bead is the real thing against the sky.
Even if this crystal is not simple, when it comes to the Chaos Bead Space, it still has to operate according to the will of the Bead Spirit. After solving the little bat he encountered, Xu Haibao also continued on the road. For him, it was just an ordinary chance encounter.
As for the decomposition of the crystal, there is Zhu Ling to handle it, and Xu Haibao is very relieved. It's just that as he gets closer and closer to the battleground, Xu Haibao also knows that he can't continue to move forward like this. Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be discovered by personnel on both sides!
