Chapter 411: A Sad Curtain Call (Part I)
[The third watch, something to go out. I don't know if the fourth more can be completed]
A metal stone tablet can repair a huge scar if it devours a sorcerer. It didn't have much intelligence yet, just a part of the mechanical undead that had been forcibly cut off from its own body and endowed with a glimmer of soul fire.
It didn't know that its existence would not last long, and that Byrne wanted to come to such a thing in order to suppress the glorious power on the altar.
The Radiant Divine Technique is indeed to restrain the undead, but this restraint is also mutual, and the special immortal attribute of the mechanical undead makes the Radiant Divine Technique have to pay more price if it wants to exert its usual power.
A tall metal fossil tablet suppressed the core of the entire altar, and if you want to use the Divine Rune Array on the altar, you must first destroy the metal fossil tablet. If you want to destroy the metal stone stele, you can only keep attacking and constantly weaken the trace of soul fire in the metal stone stele.
In the square under the altar, at least half of the Assassins did it, and their target was the priests who wanted to organize it, and they were not responsible for killing targets like the cardinal, their purpose. It is to completely disrupt the order, so that it is impossible to immediately organize a large-scale resistance in the Radiant City.
To the west of the Shining City, Paul's Cathedral. A dozen cardinals of the Sentiny are drinking and merry, a bunch of wretched creatures who have lost their power, and whose daily dream is how to gain the favor of the Pope and be transferred to the Holy City.
The alarm sounded, and the cardinals did not react until a violent explosion occurred in the square, and the cardinals panicked to the top of the church to observe the enemy.
No one knows what's going on, and the City of Radiance, though sacred in the hearts of believers, has been pushed out of the core of power. It had been quiet for too long, and the people in the inquisition didn't bother to come and look for trouble.
This is a real world, and the kingdom of God is somewhat illusory. When the Knights of God fell, the Cardinal Council no longer had the strength to stand up to the Pope.
The theocracy was originally led by the Pope, the Cardinal House suppressed the Pope, and the Inquisition monitored the Cardinal. Now the divine envoy has set up its own door, the power of the cardinal has been lost, and the divine power is still three points, but there is nothing to do with these cardinals.
After a brief moment of panic, the cardinals began to summon their men and mobilize the Knights of Radiance. In the Holy See, there are only three full members of the Knights of Radiance, and one of them is all in the City of Radiance. Twelve thousand people.
These 12,000-strong Knights of Radiance are scattered in the City of Radiance, and it will take a long time to gather them. It took more than half an hour for more than 2,000 knights to rush to the square with their followers.
On the altar in the center of the square, Byrne and the two assassins he led had slaughtered the magicians on the altar.
One eighth-level magician, two seventh-level magicians, more than thirty fourth-level magicians, plus more than a hundred ordinary second-level gods.
The metal fossil stele let out a howl of pain, and a huge crack appeared on the altar, slowly collapsing to both sides, and the metal stele was just a little bit of power separated by the mechanical undead, unable to move, and could only be devoured on the spot. Byrne had stopped giving it energy, and it had to try to absorb the power of the altar.
This is indeed something it can't do at all, although the altar has been broken for a long time, and it is collapsing, but its power comes from the undead plane, and the collapse of the altar itself has cut off a little connection between it and the undead plane.
The little soul fire on the metal fossil tablet was frantically trying to rush out. But it was sealed by divine power in a metal fossil tablet.
Byrne shouted, and the man had already jumped from the altar, and the two Assassins followed him, silently disappearing into the chaos of the crowd.
On the altar, the metal fossil stele made a sharp and high-pitched sound, which pierced dozens of miles away and pierced through the clouds. Seeing this scene, more than a dozen magicians who flew in the air screamed in horror and unleashed their magic downwards, wanting to destroy this strange undead.
Byrne didn't flee out of the city, it was too obvious, and he led a dozen or so assassins who hadn't yet made a move, following behind a red-clad priest to help organize the disorganized believers. At this time, Byrne's beard was gone, and the sackcloth on his body had turned into a white robe, looking like a white-clothed priest under a divine envoy.
Bang......
Bang!
After the sharp sound of breaking the air, the altar finally collapsed, which was not caused by the metal fossil tablet, but because the altar itself could not bear the power to stimulate the divine arts, because it fell into disrepair and collapsed on its own.
The metal stele lost its roots and shattered in half. The little soul fire in the stele suddenly strengthened, as if it understood something, and let out an even sharper howl.
"Byrne, you damn it, I'll kill you!" This bit of soul fire separated by the mechanical undead actually inspired wisdom because of the devastating stimulus. Byrne used it as a substitute for the dead. To escape from the City of Radiance, it immediately understood. However, it was not a real mechanical undead, and the soul fire was too weak to change the shape of its body, so it could only watch Byrne get farther and farther away from it.
Byrne stayed away from the altar and calculated in his heart, this time he only killed three cardinal-level priests, which was too far from the plan. Although the cardinal of the Radiant City is too weak, he can't stay any longer, and he is besieged, he is not a sword saint, and it is impossible to fight his way out of the siege.
The anger of the metal fossil tablet could not be suppressed, and in the sky, the cardinals regarded it as the maker of chaos, and took out their equipment one after another, and smashed it down as if they didn't want money.
Every time the Radiant Divine Technique hits the stone tablet, it will cause more or less damage. The immortality of the mechanical undead is difficult to reflect in it, and these magicians are in a hurry, using intermediate divine arts, and none of them are high-level divine arts.
More than 3,000 Radiant Knights surrounded the collapsed altar, the outer priests organized the believers to stay away from the battlefield, and the dozens of assassins who caused chaos had been exposed, and they rushed to the altar frantically. Trade your life for the head of the Radiant Knight.
If assassinated secretly, none of these Radiant Knights were opponents of the Assassins, but now there was a huge disparity in number, and the Radiant Knights, under the protection of their servants, calmly displayed their spear skills and pierced the assassins one by one in front of the horse.
A dozen Assassins died, and the remaining dozen Assassins turned and fled, fleeing in the direction of Byrne's location. The Assassins were determined to die, and they did so. Not to drag Byrne into the water, but to give Byrne a chance to clear his name.
Byrne knew what these people were trying to do, and his heart was bitter. Do you want to do it yourself? Sometimes, loyalty is something that is hated!
Byrne snatched a flail and smashed his head in the face of an Assassin. The Assassin's brain burst, and Byrne only remembered a smile on his face before he died.
The person who followed him twenty years ago, at that time, the county lord was born not long ago, right?
The flail swept and struck another Assassin in the waist, whose body bent over the middle as if it had broken in the middle. Confronted with an assassin's dagger and stabbed Byrne viciously. Byrne knew that even if he didn't dodge, the short sword would penetrate the body, and it would stick to the edge of the heart, and it would never cause fatal damage.
Click......
The short sword was struck by the white light, and it shattered into seventy or eighty pieces in an instant. This assassin also has an extra hole in his chest.
The bitterness in Byrne's heart became more and more unbearable, and one by one the assassins died at the hands of the magician, but he could only help the magician to kill. Because there are more assassins hidden in the square. If given the opportunity, the Assassins would also target the Cardinal.
These assassins are not of a high level, but they have excellent skills and can burst into powerful lethality in an instant.
"Die!" One of the assassins' faces suddenly turned as red as blood, and the short sword in his hand glowed equally blood-red, and his speed suddenly increased tenfold, and he threw himself into the arms of the red-clad priest.
This red-clothed priest who led hundreds of people did not expect that this assassin could pass Byrne and come directly to him, although the defensive magic on the red robe was instantly activated, it did not stop the assassin from giving up his life.
Bang......
Byrne turned, and the flail slammed into the assassin's back, the assassin slid limply to the ground, and the blood-red dagger exploded on the red-robed priest's chest.
Everyone sees that Byrne is trying to come to the rescue. However, he could only kill the assassin, but could not save the life of the priest.
Byrne knew that even if he didn't kill the assassin, the assassin would definitely not survive for a day, and the assassination had already consumed the assassin's life. But he couldn't deny that this assassin had been killed by himself.
This is、Absolute loyalty!
The saddest profession is the Assassin, because the Assassin has the same ending, being killed in the mission. There are only old and dead mages, and there are no old and dead assassins, which is also the unique credo of the Assassins.
"Byrne, I handed over Rex to you, can you pay for your loyalty?" Byrne's flail swept through, his eyes a little blurred, and he recalled the words of Chanak the Great in his heart.
"Yes, I am willing to use my life to protect the life of the county lord......"
"Then, you give up the cultivation of swordsmanship and learn to be an assassin, Rex is a mage, and when he is at a low level, he is most afraid of assassin attacks. I can only be reassured if a powerful assassin protects her. Chanak the Great said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will give up the cultivation of swordsmanship. ”
"Very well, Byrne, this is the deposit certificate of the Imperial Bank, take this money, go and organize more people, become your subordinates, I need a group of assassins, sooner or later, Rex will need them. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty......"
The past had never been clearer, and the voice of Chanak the Great seemed to be in his ears. Byrne's heart ached like a knife.
This is my mission! Never give up!
Byrne's flail hit an assassin in the leg, and in the rear, a knight of radiance chased after him, and finally he didn't have to do it himself, and the remaining assassins couldn't escape no matter what.
