Chapter 558: Destroying Apophis (4)
Hyderabad, suburb.
A tributary of the Rhine runs from northwest to southeast, passing through dense black pine forests.
The river was covered with ice, and a flock of emaciated snowcocks lazily pulled the snow on the river.
A group of scrawny gray wolves huddled at the junction of the river and the pine forest, dripping and salivating, looking greedily at the same skinny snowcocks.
Just two hundred feet to the west of the wolves, a thumb-sized sterling silver osmanthus leaf was quietly suspended in the air, constantly emitting a faint silver holy light.
More than thirty nuns dressed in silver robes and looking forty years old stood quietly under the osmanthus leaves. There were silver auras looming under their feet, and more than a dozen silver auras were in unison, turning into a hazy silver shroud that enveloped them.
Opposite these mild-tempered nuns, a knight of the Golden Oak Church, dressed in pale golden armor and covered with a golden cloak, also formed a battle formation with a strong atmosphere.
One by one, these church knights stood in the woods with gloomy faces like stakes, their eyes cold to the extreme, and their eyes hollow, staring at a place in the woods where a faint white smoke swayed.
Two Hydra guards, as well as a force of two hundred royal knights of the Delenn Empire, also formed a battle formation, forming a zigzag with the nuns and the knights of the church, enclosing the spot in the middle where a faint white smoke lingered.
High in the air, a medium-sized war airship was quietly suspended, and on the pylons stretched out on both sides of the pod, round bombs with a diameter of 1,000 millimeters hung like grapes.
Behind the royal knights led by Hydra's secret guard, four magic golems with leaden gray bodies, all cast from metal, and their bodies with pale golden ancient runes constantly lit up, were standing silently under the big tree.
The four golems were more than thirty feet tall, and on their left arms hung a giant tower shield that was two or three times larger than a normal door, about a foot thick, and in their right hand they carried a super heavy sword nearly twenty feet long and a foot and a half thick.
Suddenly, there was a 'snort'.
The faint white smoke in the woods gradually thickened.
In the air, the smell of sulfur wafted through.
In the white smoke, a trace of blood-colored ghostly light swirled, and a suffocating abyssal aura roared out.
Wherever the abyssal aura of black and red passed, white smoke continued to rise from the black pines that were the thickness of the two people hugging. The water in the trunk of the tree is evaporating rapidly, and the nearest few black pines are actually burning out of thin air with a 'poof'.
One of the Hydra guards snorted coldly.
With a wave of his right hand, a palm-sized bronze compass appeared in his hand.
On the compass, a thin blood-colored needle first turned around a few times, and then pointed to the place where the blood-colored glow was entangled.
"Be careful, the spatial passage is taking shape. This will be a medium-sized passage, and based on experience, there will probably be more than two hundred abyssal creatures invading. Another Hydra guard said coldly, "This is less than twelve miles from Hydrerabad. They will sense the breath of life gathered in Hydrderabad, and will instinctively rush to hunt. ”
One of the nuns chuckled softly, "There won't be an evil being breaking into Hydrderabad. ”
The leader of the church knights, a burly man who was more than seven feet tall, slowly raised the sword in his hand: "What if you break in?" Nothing more than ...... Let's have a large-scale magic to cleanse the memories of believers again! ”
The nuns of the Silver Cinnamon Church rolled their eyes at the same time.
The two Hydra guards, as well as the royal knights, stared at the church knight angrily.
The knight of the church didn't seem to see the strange eyes of his companions, and he said with a grin: "War is inevitable and sacrificed. We, the servants of the gods, could fall at any moment, casualty some civilians, what is it? ”
"Haven't you all done this for so many years?"
"The divine power of the Yingui Church is good, hahaha, for so many years, not a single civilian believer knows about the existence of these demons. Hahaha! Hey, it's us devout clergy who are guarding you! We, guarding the whole of Medland. ”
The knight leader looked at the nuns standing across from him, blinked, turned to the two Hydra guards, and laughed with a hint of defiance.
The two Hydra guards were silent.
Although I was not impressed by the words of this church knight, they also told part of the truth.
The two churches, no matter how uncomfortable their style of conduct, are indeed the greatest reliance on the people of Metland to live a leisurely life.
The 'snort' grew louder and louder.
The red glow grew more and more dazzling.
The white smoke rolled and spread in all directions, and the temperature of the white smoke was extremely high, almost to the level of boiling water.
The knights of the church and the knights of the royal family shouted at the same time.
There were golden and gray-black qi waves rolling on their bodies, and they all condensed into huge qi shields, enveloping their own team.
A red crack slowly tore open the void.
The crack gradually expanded, the width increased little by little, and the height also increased little by little.
A quarter of an hour later, the rift cracked ten feet wide and twenty feet high.
Through the faint red light in the twisted and swaying cracks, a strange figure with a height of nearly ten feet and a single horn in the middle of its forehead could be faintly seen.
"Meat!" A muffled roar came from across the rift.
The other party used the official lingua franca of the Medland continent, but the pronunciation was extremely vague, as if a tongue was missing.
"Ready, as soon as they cross, they will attack!" One of the Hydra guards pulled out the saber at his waist, and with a shake of his right hand, a sharp black sword suddenly erupted more than a dozen feet away.
Opposite, a burly figure had lifted its foot and stepped towards the rift.
At this moment...... crack began to shrink rapidly, and in just one or two breaths, the huge crack disappeared. Soon, even the white smoke in the woods disappeared without a trace.
A few scorched black pines burned violently, and the blazing light of the fire illuminated the small woods.
The nuns of the Silver Cinnamon Church, the knights of the Golden Oak Church, and the knights of the Deren Empire all froze in place.
This kind of thing is unseen and unheard of.
I had never heard that this kind of spatial rift that had already formed would disappear so quickly without being hit by divine power!
"Send a signal, ask the other clearance teams, and see what's going on on their side!"
It took a moment for one of the Hydra guards to give the order to the royal knight behind him, with some ease.
A royal knight jumped into the air and climbed to the top of a black pine in three or two clicks, and he pulled out two signal flags and quickly signaled to the war airship floating in the air.
Under the pod of the war airship, facing the southeast, northwest, and northwest, at the same time, a large gas lamp flashed rapidly.
The light signal was sent, and a reply was soon received from the other clearance teams.
The Delen Empire joined forces with the two major churches, and of the thirty clearance teams arranged near Hyderabad, twenty-seven teams did not find any spatial cracks today.
Including this team, among the remaining three teams, two teams suddenly shrank and disappeared from the spatial rift that had just formed.
In the spatial crack encountered by a team, a small group of more than 20 lava monsters had already broken through, and the clearing team was fighting with them, and when the lava monsters behind were pouring out rapidly, the spatial rift suddenly disappeared!
There was a lava monster whose strength had reached almost the sixth order, and even at the moment when the spatial rift disappeared, it just crossed the spatial rift.
His body was cut off by the vanishing spatial rift, and most of his body was left in the abyss, while one thigh and half of his pelvis fell on the side of the continent of Medland.
There were war airships in all directions, and the lights flashed rapidly.
Thirty clearance teams quickly figured out what else was going on.
At the same time, this abnormal situation of the sudden disappearance of the spatial rift was also transmitted back to Hyderabadro and Hydrera Palace for the first time with a light signal, and reported to Mata XIII, who was in command.
Apophis Palace.
Jo put the blood-colored gem that Vilenya had pledged into a small brocade box, and then hid it properly in the large vault that came with the Palace of Apophis.
Vilenya didn't stay long, and after she got the cash of two million gold marks, she left the Apophis Palace with a little difficulty dragging two large boxes.
In the two large boxes, one and a half boxes were filled with banknotes, and in the space of the half box, a large number of gold coins were piled up.
The two boxes were very heavy, and Joe also specially asked Big Ivan to pick a few good hands and escort Vilenya back to the station in a carriage.
In the middle of the night, a petite and weak little girl went on the road alone with two heavy big boxes...... Even if the Portusse wouldn't rob her, the police patrolmen wouldn't have to trouble her.
What if the box contained a chopped corpse?
Right!
It's very likely!
Jo sent Vilenya to the gates of the Apophis Palace, and he was kind enough to express his concerns.
When Vilenya was leaving, her face was very strange.
A corpse chopped into pieces?
Good, Joe, you're imaginative.
The carriage 'purred' departed, and several of Ivan's subordinates rode horses and followed behind the carriage.
The carriage had already gone far away, and Vilenya suddenly opened the window, and half of her body leaned out of the window, she waved to Joe, and said loudly, "Joe, you are a good man...... May the merciful Muteste bless you! ”
Joe smiled and raised his right hand and waved at Vilenya.
With a wave of his hand, he smiled and muttered to the tooth standing beside him, "May the merciful Muteste bless me?" Well, that sounds weird, she's a Portusse, a Portuse, is there a believer? ”
Tooth shrugged his shoulders and patted himself vigorously on his neat, gorgeous aristocratic dress.
"Ah, who knows? But I can be sure of one thing, the Portusse people...... They have always been full of pious enthusiasm for the wallets of believers! ”
At this moment, in the vault of the Apophis Palace, the blood-colored gem emitted a blood-colored glow, and the hot white eyes whistled, like the head of a steam locomotive, spreading wildly to all sides.
