Chapter 418: Combined Operations of the Army and the Air Force
Inside the temple of the Lord of Knowledge, Adès saw the shield raised, and said to the scholar, "Shall we go to the inner city now with the priest of the temple?"
"As soon as possible, I found out through the power of the temple that the temple of the goddess of commerce in front of me was frantically gathering negative energy. The scholar held the scroll in his hand, his whole body exuding a golden glow, and said calmly.
"Who are you going to take with you? Now it's time to decide, and we're going to go at once. When Mia saw the scholar like this, she knew that he had used his body and mind to contain the divine power on the idol, and that he had no extra strength to speak.
The scholar casually selected four probationary pastors and said to Adès, "They'll leave it to you." After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
And John did not say anything, and continued to kneel on one knee in front of the scholar and say his final prayer.
"Then let's go now. Ades glanced at the priest who had been named to stand up, turned and walked out of the main temple to the front garden of the temple.
The four probationary priests saluted the scholar again, followed by Molly, who stood in the middle of the procession, and Anna and Evis pressed behind and walked out of the main temple.
Ades turned his head to look at the Temple of Commerce not far away, the negative energy above was getting thicker and stronger, and Adès felt a deep uneasiness.
"Young Master, let's go quickly, I feel that the negative energy is suppressing the divine power in my body. Mia also turned her head to look at the defense line of the Temple of Commerce, and a trace of coercion was affecting Mia's body.
"Molly, let's protect against negative energy, the negative energy here can smoke people to death. Ades frowned and said to Molly in the middle.
"Okay, bless as you go. Molly looked at the rich negative energy and was also a little scared. Hurriedly urged Ades to leave quickly.
Everyone left the temple and stepped out of the scope of the divine shield. The negative energy began to eat away at their bodies, and Molly unhurriedly took out the scroll. Bless the magic to everyone.
"Young Master, what's in there?" Mia raised her chin and gestured to the temple of the goddess of commerce, she couldn't understand why she was able to gather so much negative energy.
Adès thought for a moment, what else could the demon do there, it was obviously blasphemy, sacrificing to the priest or idol of the goddess of commerce.
But he couldn't say these things now, and he was afraid that Mia would turn around and destroy the demon's ritual, although Adès had also had this idea. But looking at the situation now, it seems that something is wrong, with such a rich negative energy, how many demons are there, and how high is the level of demons?
"Let's go, now our task is to send people away first, this is the last seed of the Lord of Knowledge in the Kingdom. Adès hesitated, but decided that it was the right thing to do with the priest and tell Fall about the situation.
"Let's go. Anna waited impatiently in the back, and she noticed that the flow of negative energy seemed to be getting faster, and hurriedly urged everyone forward.
Ades also seemed to sense something, and as soon as he turned around, he led everyone back to the inner city gate.
When passing by the temple of the guardian god. Ades glanced at the entrance to the Temple of God, he knew that there must be some supplies in the temple, but time was running out right now. They didn't have time to go in, and after saying a word of pity in their hearts. Gritted his teeth and moved on.
Except for the four priests, the rest of the people passed by this temple. Unconsciously turned their heads to look, especially Nancy and Yunni, the mage's curiosity was strong, and they were especially eager to know what treasures were in it.
At this time, the negative energy that had been dispelled by Fore on the street reappeared, and like a gust of wind, it blew towards the temple of the goddess of commerce, and not only Adès knew that it was wrong, but even the four probationary priests felt abnormal.
They frequently turned back, hoping that such a change would not affect the temple of the Lord of Knowledge, but by this time they had already reached the corner of the city wall, and after turning the corner, the temple was obscured by the city wall and could no longer be seen.
"......Boom" There was another roar, this time there was no white light flashing, it was not an explosion, but the huge sound still startled Ades and them, and looked back at the source of the sound, it was the direction they came from just now, and above the temple of the goddess of commerce, a purple-black pillar of light appeared.
"What is this?," Adès asked his companion as he looked at the pillar of light that stretched in the air.
"It's not a summoning, it's a summoning that causes ripples in space. Nancy first dismissed his speculation.
"It could be a situation of negative energy accumulation, anyway it won't be a good thing, let's go quickly. Although Yunni couldn't explain what it was, seeing that the negative energy turned into a pillar of light would definitely not be a sign of its own dissipation.
"Everybody quickened their pace. Ades wasn't curious anymore, and trotted forward with everyone.
Returning to the long street that had been burned by the flames, looking at the burned houses on both sides of the street and the wreckage on the ground, the four priests were a little surprised, there had been a fierce battle here, and the remnants of the divine power warned them that a high-ranking priest had intervened.
Ades didn't run far before they felt that the space seemed to fluctuate, and Yunnie hurriedly looked back and found that the two Philoms had just come out of the teleportation, and instantly activated the teleportation again.
"Everyone be careful, there are enemies!" After speaking, she quickly took out the scroll, tore it without thinking, and there was a dimensional anchor above everyone's heads.
While this will lock the space, it is the most correct way to prevent the demons from attacking them from the sky.
"Defend as you go, Anna, you go first with the priest. "Adès and Mia are shields against the enemy, and they handle all frontal battles with the enemy.
Anna hurriedly took the priest and Nancy and them, caught up with the figure of Adès, overtook him and walked straight forward, and after everyone passed, Adès and Mia became the ones who broke off, and Anna and Yvis were in front, leading everyone to start running wildly.
As she got closer to the makeshift stone wall, Anna could hear the shouts of the knights on the stone wall.
However, the demons finally caught up at this time, and the Philo Demons, who can fly in the sky and teleport, are the most mobile troops among the demons, and they appear in the place where Yunnie activates the dimensional anchor. As soon as the two sides met, a battle broke out.
The two Philoms cooperated with each other and pounced directly on Adès's head.
Of course, Adès wouldn't just stand still and wait for the demon to attack. He and Mia kept moving backwards, trying to lower the demon's height. Convenient for fighting.
The distance was close, Adès was holding the recurve blade, and suddenly it was a charge, rushing towards the demon, and the Philo Demon was also startled, how did the enemy who was retreating with a panicked face just now come back?
Before it could adjust its body, Adès had already rushed to the side of the demon who had been in it, and Ades, who was holding the recurve blade, slashed at the demon's waist with a fierce swing.
Philo was very agile, and his wings stopped moving as soon as he flicked them. With another fan, it flew up gently, avoiding Adès's attack.
The other Philom had already stopped moving one step earlier, and when it saw that Adess's attack had failed, it was about to charge, and it attacked Adès with spores flying all over its body.
Adus's weapon has a bonus to the demon's damage, and he must not be afraid of them, and after bowing his head to avoid the demon's kick, the recurve blade flicked up, and the blade swept over the demon's calf. A wound was opened.
The demon who had avoided Ades' attack just now saw that his companions were supporting, and immediately wanted to take the opportunity to attack Ades, but Mia also charged at this time, and directly knocked the Philo demon who was cut by Adez away with the light hammer. It slammed its body into another demon.
"Mia, don't delay, let's go!" Ades called out to Mia, who was about to pursue. I want to take advantage of the two demons being knocked away to quickly pull away.
"Huh?" Mia was inexplicable, why didn't she fight?
"Look over there!" Ades gestured. Pointing to the air to the east.
"So many?" Mia saw that there was constant support from the Philo in the air, and the number was dense. She couldn't count them at all, so she immediately turned around and ran away.
When Adès saw that Mia had discovered that the enemy had reinforcements and began to retreat, he himself turned around and ran wildly, following his companion who had run away earlier.
At this time, you can't let the demons surround you, there are so many reinforcements, if you are surrounded, you can't leave, it will definitely be a hard battle, and you may even die.
He didn't have to go far before Ades felt some shaking on the ground, and when he looked back, at the corner of the city wall, an oversized Berserker had appeared, with improvised armor on its body, and purple-black light was surrounding the Berserker's body.
"Speed up, there's a big guy, it's bigger than the previous ones!" This is an elite template berserker demon, the size of the light is bigger than the ordinary berserker demon, not to mention the negative energy and armor on the body, it will definitely make its strength skyrocket.
Everyone heard Ades' roar, and when they took the time to look back, they were all shocked, what is this?
Just as everyone was running for their lives, Adès heard another burst of light and crackling in his ears, and he turned around and walked backwards a few steps to see where the light and shadow flickered, and then turned around and ran again.
"The temple is being attacked, those are lightning!"
As soon as everyone heard the lightning, they remembered what Fur said before, the soul judgment demon, the demon can release the "thunder summoning technique" at will, it seems that in addition to this big guy, there is at least one high-level demon behind.
Ades secretly complained in his heart, how can this be fought? With a lineup like a demon, except for a legendary-level mage, there is no chance of winning on his side.
"Ade! the stone wall is sealed, and the priest can't get through!" Anna in front of her had already run to the stone wall, but just now their stone shaping technique was so successful that they blocked the long street, and now she can't climb up.
"Find a door and climb up!" replied Ades in a loud voice, not having time to think of anything else.
"No, the flames just now have already burned down the house next to it, and the gate has burned through. Anna glanced left and right, and saw that Adès's solution was useless, and could not solve the problem.
The knight on the stone wall had a spear or something, and he could stretch it out and let Anna grab it and climb up, but Anna's strength was great, and she could be afraid, but the priest couldn't, it wasn't in vain, and for a while, the four priests stopped under the stone wall, at a loss.
Adès smiled bitterly, this is called self-inflicted sin and cannot live.
Running not far from the stone wall, he stopped and turned to look at the flying Philos, trying to stall for time and let Anna figure it out for herself.
The knight on the stone wall found a rope at this time, and stretched out of the stone wall so that a priest could grab him and drag him up, but how could there be so many people here, how could they all pull up the stone wall in a short time?
Mia was also anxious when she saw this situation, but there was still no way to speed up, so she had to stop and stand next to her young master, wanting to fight side by side with Ades to resist the demon's attack.
"You're still going to face the devil. Ades shook his head, he had done it once before, and he still had to do it, but the Berserker before was not as terrifying as the current one.
Looking at the Philo Demon who is flying closer and closer, and the elite Berserker Demon who is slowly advancing, how to fight this joint operation of land and air?
Not only was Adès himself distressed, but Evis, Nancy, Molly, and Winnie behind him all frowned at the same time, this can't be beaten.
"Alas......" Nancy sighed, if she can't fight, she has to fight, with a movement in her hand, she took out a scroll from her arms, took two steps forward to the middle of the formation and tore it, and a group of "mage armor" was blessed on everyone's body.
Molly also began to pull out the scroll, first with a "reverence" to isolate the erosion of negative energy, and then took out a scroll, on guard.
With a bone whistle, Yvice summoned the cod, and the huge snow bear shook its body and stood beside Adès.
"Mia, don't rush up, act here as a temporary second line of defense, I'll go up with the cod and see if I can clean up that big guy. Adès looked at the demons in the sky and gritted his teeth.
"Young master, it's not as good as me, at least my damage to the demon is higher than yours. ”
"No, your group combat ability is poor, and it is easy to be attacked by the Philo Demon in the air. ”
"But, there are so many people who can fly, rushing over together, and I can't stop it. ”
Mia said what she was most worried about, this was their most fearful and unsolvable problem, a large group of Philos rushed together, who could stop it?
Just when the demons had assembled and were about to launch a general attack on the stone wall and the Ades and others under the stone wall, there was a new situation in the east.
A fierce pillar of golden light rose, the same as the purple-black pillar of negative energy not far away, straight into the sky.
At the same time, a ring-shaped blast of divine power began to explode outwards centered on the pillar of light, and dust billowed everywhere it went, and the buildings that had already been lifted off their roofs were ravaged again.
Looking at the wave-like shockwave, Adès was dumbfounded, and his heart was even more grief, the temple of the Lord of Knowledge, the scholar who was determined to die with the demon just now, was all over, all over.
