The boy silently retreated to the middle of the group, and looked around, the army of undead surging up the slope had broken through the defensive line, and the path to the higher ground had been blocked by the necromantic creatures. The defenders of the bevel position here slowly retreated to one piece, and the enemy was flanked by the back, and seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, an atmosphere of panic immediately spread.

"Agysas is on top...... Please bless us ......"

Jude's ears rang with a variety of voices, from prayers for the protection of the gods, cries of fear and sighs of despair.

"Kane, you bastard, why didn't you retreat just now, and it became like this?" the boy heard someone scold the paladin for his stupidity and incompetence.

With a mountain wall on one side and a cliff on the other, surrounded by an army of the undead, people with a little judgment are already aware of their current situation, and it is impossible for these people to break through.

If you know today, why bother in the first place. Jude sneered to himself, these people finally recognized the true colors of those disciples, but unfortunately they would probably pay the price with their lives.

As for himself, the boy was not worried at all, he only needed a phase transfer spell to break out of the encirclement and easily retreat to a higher slope position.

Just as Jude was making follow-up plans, a stern voice came again:

"These spirits continue to rise from the ground, and other positions may be in a similar situation. The entire line of defense was precarious, and the snow fell at the southern foot of the mountain. This is the moment when we are most needed. Now that we have come to this, let us give it a go and buy time with our lives for the Archbishop's purification ceremony. ”

The resoluteness of Kane's face was reflected in the eyes of all, and he spoke morale-boosting words in a resolute tone, but this obviously did not arouse widespread recognition.

"Who is going to die for your archbishop, I still have my parents, wife and children at home, what will they do if I die?" A mercenary-looking man rushed forward and grabbed Kane excitedly, "It's your responsibility that we will be surrounded, and you're still talking this bullshit!"

"The Light teaches us that valor and selflessness are the noblest virtues. Your fear and selfishness will ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the paladin was pushed away by the mercenary.

"Fart, you're the one who is really selfish!Who cares about your 'noble' cause, why do you sacrifice other people's lives by talking to yourself?" the mercenary pointed at Kane's face and scolded, "Who gave you the power?!"

"Well, there's no point in talking about that now...... Think of a way, maybe we still have a chance to break through......"

Seeing the two pulling and pushing, the onlookers next to them tried to mediate, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

At this moment, probably with the effect of some kind of magic magic, the voice of Archbishop Alphonsos Fao suddenly sounded from the distant darkness:

"Compatriots, listen to me, time is running out, and now you are beside you the last defender of the snowfall. ”

"The enemy is coming, the positions are falling, but we will never give in to the twisted darkness. ”

"Trust each other, unite our will, let our last blow burn into a dazzling memory, so that the world will remember forever!

With an uplifting shout, a brilliant light bloomed in the night sky, temporarily illuminating the pitch-black sky, and then turning into countless pure holy lights sprinkled on everyone.

The dazzling light that shone in all directions seemed to ignite the courage of the defenders, and the morale of the defenders, who had fallen to the bottom, instantly increased, and the people who had been in fear or blamed each other again took up arms and united to fight the undead.

What kind of miraculous magic is this, which has the power to inspire people's hearts? The upheaval of the situation in front of him is quite difficult for Jude to understand.

Just now, the boy himself felt a fighting spirit and courage, but this temporary feeling was immediately calmed by his suspicion and hostility towards the church.

But the defenders of the bevel here, the wretched men, inspired or instigated by the archbishop, would probably have given their lives for this "noble cause."

Perhaps it was not until the moment of death that they realized the truth of this fact, and were they deserving of their deaths or were they very unlucky? Jude remained in the middle of the group, looking rather leisurely, and could not help but think strangely.

-

Even with heroic resistance, the defenders on the periphery continued to fall, or were dragged into the ocean-like hordes of undead creatures, gnawed alive until nothing but a wreckage remained.

Jude strolled through the middle of the defensive circle, where no one had time to pay attention to him, and each defender was fighting bloodily, but the boy was not at all worried: it only took one phase shift for him to get out of the place.

But the others, they are probably going to die because of the stupidity of the paladin and the use of the archbishop, the church is really doing evil. Thinking of this, the boy could not help but feel sympathy for these poor people, whose dearest family members would lose their son, husband, or father forever after today.

But somehow, Jude felt a little hesitant in his heart...... Why are you hesitating?

The boy looked up, and the former light had been disillusioned, and the starless night sky was so dark, and his ears were filled with the sound of war cries, fights, and screams, mixed with the screeching sound of metal tearing flesh apart.

"There's nothing to see, let's go, get out of here. This is a good opportunity to go to the top of the mountain to interrupt the ceremony and rescue Leia. ”

Jude mentally reminded himself of this, and slowly walked to the side leading to the height, intending to cast a phase shift.

Before chanting the incantation, the boy turned and glanced back one last time at the impending fall.

Eyes swept over the lives destined to die in battle, and the sight suddenly captured Jude's heart—the young girl in the priest's robe was being dragged into a dense mass of undead by a decomposing corpse, but she didn't scream, she didn't even cry, she just looked at herself with a look of compound pleading and despair.

The girl's name is Cynthia, Jude took out the crude amulet, and felt the world suddenly quiet, and at the same time his heart began to beat violently, and the two emotions kept colliding, making him unable to think properly.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up, what do these people have to do with you? Their deaths are the blame of the church. Still struggling with something, hurry up and rescue Leia, get away from all this completely. ”

"You can do it, Jude, you have the power to change all this, and you can save them. Even if you use the pocket watch now, you will still have powerful arcane magic, which is more than enough to deal with those cultists, and you will definitely not have a problem. ”

The two voices fought back and forth for the wavering heart of the young man, and finally, he took the silver pocket watch from his bosom.

Looking north at the bevel, the girl was almost swallowed by the sea of corpses, Jude pursed his lips, and then slammed the metal button above the pocket watch.
