The whole of Alassas burns with the first flames of sinful karma.

The priests and believers who had not had time to flee were burned to their knees by the fury of the thunder, and the charred corpses scattered in all directions around the cathedral.

The door to the burning cathedral left a playing card of the Jack of Spades, on which was a portrait of the Bishop of Gregory, painted with a cross.

A day later, the tragedy of the Alassas fortress reached St. Petersburg, directly shocking Pope St. Teutonic I and the regent Julius, who could not believe that the fortress with 10,000 troops could be reduced to burning ruins overnight, and the Pope immediately ordered an army to be sent to Alassas to investigate.

Soon the army of paladins from St. Petersburg arrived in the burning city, and the once majestic and imposing Cathedral of Alassas was now in ruins after the Great Fire, and the bell tower was broken by some powerful force and smashed a large hole in the dome of the cathedral to watch the stars.

Centered on the church, it is surrounded by a group of steel sculptures poured with molten iron. They still maintain the scene of charging at the moment of death. However, their bravery did not change the fate of striking the stone with an egg, and those hideous and painful expressions suggested that they had suffered greatly before they died.

Walking among these corpses, launder with their armor, it is as if they are fighting with ghouls from hell.

The whole fortress is like the scene after being ravaged by the devils of hell, and the scene is full of misery.

"What the hell is going on here......"

The first to enter Alassas was Lawrence, the commander of the Holy Teutonic Guard of the Regent, who had fought against barbarians from afar and the armies of the Holy Roman Empire in the West, and had witnessed corpse-strewn battlefields countless times, but had never seen such a horrific scene.

These elite Holy Crusaders were slaughtered in an instant, and before they even had time to react, the armor melted in the heat became their iron coffins.

Although Ivan destroyed the Holy City overnight, one or two delirious and incoherent survivors remained. By the time the Holy Crusaders rescued these glazed-eyed, gibberish-talking creatures, they were no longer able to extract useful information from their mouths.

Anyone who sees a legendary, powerful, unspeakable being will have their minds shattered in an instant with fear of not understanding things.

Lawrence stuck his sword in the scorched ground, and the sturdy commander easily grabbed the survivor by the collar and slapped him twice, trying to calm the survivor down.

"Demonic ......"

"The demon who manipulates thunder and lightning...... Here it ......."

"It's gone, there's nothing. ”

As the survivors muttered a few words over and over again, Lawrence interrogated the other crumbling clergy, and although they said different things, he heard several key points of information. Everyone's words pointed to something evil.

Thor.

An evil god worshipped by heretics in the mouth of the Holy See. Hokuriku, which was conquered by the Crusaders in the Dead Sea Papers, has a similar legend.

Suddenly, someone behind him patted Lawrence on the arm.

"Stop torturing these poor lambs, Lawrence. Perhaps what these people say is the truth. Everywhere there is a remnant of evil after the demonic revelry. ”

A hoarse voice rang out from behind Lawrence, and he turned around to see a red-robed Archbishop Linus standing behind him at some point.

Lawrence had never liked this gloomy face, not to mention that he was also in charge of the Inquisition of Holy Byzantium.

He slowly squatted down, making movements that did not match the identity of the red-clothed sect leader, not caring at all about the dirty grasp of the charred dirt on the ground, leaning in front of his nose and sniffing.

Then slowly release the five fingers that are close together, allowing the dirt to slide through the gaps between the fingers and return to the embrace of the earth.

He stood up with a serious face and said to Lawrence, "They are right, it is indeed the fire of sinful karma that has burned this land. ”

"The fire of sin?"

Lawrence seemed to think of something, and his face turned pale.

Linus took a deep breath, spreading the warmth of his chest into the icy air.

"An evil demon, perhaps the Great Red Dragon recorded in the Bible, as described in the book of Revelation, swept through the capital of Alassas with the fire of sinful karma, turning the holy city that had resisted evil for centuries into ruins in the blink of an eye. The demonic footsteps are still advancing, and hymns and prayers are of no avail. I have to go back and tell the Pope that the whole of Holy Byzantium is ready. ”

Archbishop Linus said calmly, "We don't want it, it's a precursor to Judgment Day. ”

What struck the cardinal as strange was the peculiar sign on the ground, which the man standing on the ground did not feel, but when viewed from above, the shape of the black scorched earth after the burning was like a sickle and hammer pressed together.

This is a strange symbol, and it is not recorded in the Dead Sea documents.

"So where is this rumored 'Big Red Dragon' now?"

Lawrence wielded the greatsword in his hand, and he no longer had the same strength as before, he just whispered, "I want to see how terrible it is." ”

"There is no need to look for it, God has shown us the way. ”

Linus's pale fingers pointed to the treacherous snow-capped mountains in the distance, and Lawrence's blue eyes followed his direction, forgetting the past.

The scar on his face shook subconsciously, and his heart contracted suddenly.

A clearly visible black mark appeared in the originally snowy mountains, which was the mark of the burning fire, like the skin of a giant python, curling in front of the white elephant snow peak, indicating the direction of their attackers' departure.

It was the first time Lawrence had seen such a spectacular spectacle, and the mass graves that had been defeated were nothing compared to supernatural powers.

Archbishop Linus rubbed his hands, looked directly at the mountains in the distance, and said calmly, "Prepare to mobilize the Holy Cross, I will let the 'white gloves' of the Inquisition join this hunt, please be careful, because we are not only hunters, but also prey to it at any time." ”

Lawrence didn't notice that the bishop, who was standing beside him, narrowed his eyes at this time, and secretly hid the playing cards between his fingers in the red robe.

He vaguely guessed something, but he still wanted to use the army and the clergy to test what was so good about the attackers of Alassas.

Powerful mages?

Or the returning Avengers?

The horse kicked restlessly in the dirt, as if sensing some danger approaching. Lawrence tightened the reins, and his heart sank at the sight of the approaching black figures.

Those black figures are the shadows behind the divine light of the Holy See.

The executioners of the Inquisition, the inquisitors who had been present in all corners of Holy Byzantium during the witch hunt, were the eagles and minions of the Pope in executing the enemy, and all those who disobeyed the Sacrament were dragged into the Inquisition for a "surgical" greeting.

The real face lurks behind the tawny beak mask and hood, except for the white gloves.

Even Lawrence, who was supposedly fearless, had fear on his face, he hated these monsters, but more out of fear.

"White Glove Priesthood. ”
