Chapter 281: The Cardinal Archbishop Appears
The city defense shield of Nikolo was completely attacked by the [Juggernaut], and an energy rift appeared. The [Juggernaut] complete body was directly connected to the second hammer, and at this time, the entire city's defense shield was already crumbling. When the third hammer fell, the city's defensive shield could no longer withstand the force and disappeared abruptly.
At this time, only the second layer of shields and walls are left to protect the entire city, and if this layer of shields and walls is also destroyed, the entire city will be left in a state of almost undefended.
The [Juggernaut] Completer who had achieved rich results then raised his hammer and began to attack the inner shield, at this time the garrison in the city finally couldn't bear it, and the two cardinal archbishops gathered here flew directly out of the protection range of the inner shield to attack the [Juggernaut] complete body.
It stands to reason that there is only one cardinal at most in a city, and some time ago, most of the main forces of the church have gone to the front line of Vito to fight. Unfortunately, this time coincides with the time of the "Feast of the Moon" of the Church in Tampas, and it happens to miss the plane blockade of the City of the End.
The eve and anniversary of a major battle is the Holy Day of the Temple of Tampas (and therefore the Holy Day varies from temple to temple). The Feast of the Moon is the most important common holy day for all Tampas temples, and it is a day in which devotees remember and honor the deceased. Each temple will hold a Hero's Feast at noon and sing the Song of the Fallen at sunset, and most temples will continue to perform the Ode of the Sword ceremony for lay devotees at night.
All Tampas are required to shed as much blood as possible in battle at least every ten days (preferably by themselves or by powerful enemies), and must sing the Ode of the Sword in tribute to Tampas. Most devotees perform this ritual by holding their usual weapons and praying to the god of battle that he will allow him to fight valiantly and survive difficult adversity.
After the war between the Divine Grace Realm and the Magical Realm, the number of believers in the Lord of War Tampas has skyrocketed, and the Church of Tampas has shifted the attention of the entire Church to the Nien plane. When the plane blockade of the city of the end was carried out, it happened to be during the feast of the Holy Sun and Moon, so many of the clergy and some elites in charge of the defense returned to Nicro City, an important stronghold of the Nien Plane Church, to celebrate.
The Pope of the Church of Tampas also needed to preside over a large celebration of the Lord of St. Moss, and instead of coming in person, he sent three cardinal archbishops to preside over the celebration of the Moon Feast in Nicelo City, which is enough to show the importance he attaches to the Great War of the Two Realms and the members of the war.
Originally, there were three cardinal archbishops, but one of them happened to encounter the end city and blocked the plane passage with Avalon when he wanted to return first, and now he is still in the "ideal land away from the world" and has not come out. Because of this, the Church of Tampas avoided further casualties, and the members of the Expeditionary Legion who returned to celebrate did not attempt to return to the Eye of Vito, but instead stationed themselves in the city of Nichiro.
They really waited for the attack of the magic world, but these people didn't expect to directly encounter Ciri for the [Juggernaut] complete body test, allowing them to see the existence and terrifying power of this behemoth.
The two cardinal archbishops who flew close to the full body of [Juggernaut] were Angelo "Doomsday Hammer" and "Finishing Scepter" Yarman. Cardinal archbishops in the Church of Tampas are named after their usual weapons, with "Hammer of Doom" and "Finishing Scepter" being the names of Angelo and Yarman, as well as their main weapons.
In contrast to the elegant and plain colors of the dress code of ordinary missionaries, all senior Tampas clergy wore reddish clothing, and the cardinal archbishop's robes were bright red as blood.
Angelo himself was originally a papal knight, but in recent years he has become a cardinal archbishop, and his original chivalric style can still be seen from his image. His figure was different from the thinness of ordinary civil servants, but he was very muscular, and his entire robe was bulging. Although there are already a lot of wrinkles on his face, and his beard is already snow-white, he should be not young, but his belligerent spirit has not diminished.
Angelo has many scars on his face and hands, a special hobby that only the Knights of the Papal See in Tampa, leaving scars on his body that could have been easily removed. In his hand he held a hammer-shaped weapon that shone with holy light, but not in the form of a normal hammer that Juggernaut fully wielded, but a mace.
There are generally two kinds of mace, one is the radial form of the blade, also known as the hard hammer, its warhead is composed of radial blade-shaped parts, and the blunt end is composed of many non-sharp axe blades, but because there is no real blade, it is still counted as a blunt weapon, which is not sharp but very strong.
The other is round-headed, also known as the morning star type, and there are two types: without spikes and with spikes. The hammer head without spikes is basically a round ball, with no armor-piercing ability, pure blunt strike ability. The "Hammer of Doom" is a spiked type with more powerful attacks. Its spherical combat parts are covered with spikes, not very sharp but absolutely terrifying, and can easily pierce through the armor and into the body.
The Doomhammer is black overall, making it look very simple, and it looks like a normal Morning Star mace. In fact, this weapon was made by Angelo with the weapon he has used since joining the Church, step by step, and blessed by the gods. The Doomhammer's power is completely restrained, but if it touches an enemy, it is enough to wreak havoc.
The other cardinal, Yarman, looked more urbane, leaving him with no beard to make him look younger, but his hair was already white. There were no scars on his face, but the scars on his hands hadn't been removed.
Yarman's weapon, the Scepter of Finishing, doesn't resemble Angelo's "Hammer of Doom" in melee combat. The "Ending Scepter" as a whole resembles the appearance of the ancient mage's staff, and there are five palms on its top holding a blood-red orb, and the red light emitted by the bead reflects the palms below in red, which is as strange as a wriggling person.
When the two cardinal archbishops of the Church of Tampas went into battle, the [Juggernaut] was completely smashing the walls of Niccolò City with a giant hammer in his hand. The strong tremor made everyone on the city wall unsteady and terrified. The shock and horror of her sheer size affects even the battle-hardened clergy of the Tampas church.
Although the average large body has a very strong attack power, it also has a lot of weaknesses. Angelo and Yarman are going to start from these weaknesses and defeat the behemoth in front of them.
Angelo chanted in a low voice, and white light flashed on the hammer of doom, turning into a hammer-shaped phantom the size of dozens of people and smashing towards the [Juggernaut]
