Chapter 42: The Devil's Tide
In the underground city on the border of the Blue Sanctuary, the night feels very strange here, and those plants that transmit sunlight also conduct moonlight at night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The tranquil moonlight is transmitted to the roots by magical plants, and the entire underground world is bathed in the blue moonlight, and the layers of ancient houses are like sealed history, if you don't see the beams of a few electronic products, this moment will make people forget the era.
Cassius sat by the window and looked at the underground city, large and complex, and the soldiers patrolled back and forth in the moonlight, and it was such a quiet night that did not let them slacken.
Tomorrow, Cassius is going to enter the "Blue Holy City" with Claude and the others, they have their own tasks, and they don't tell Cassius, and Cassius doesn't care about these things, he wants to know what he wants.
When Claude came in the afternoon, he actually laughed when he saw Cassius, but he didn't expect that the sister who gave him a headache was picked up, and he was making a fuss about him for a while. Sally had not known how many people's necks had been cut off with her dagger, and it was a lesson to hit a nail this time.
Sally didn't tell Claude that she was gagged in a baby's diaper, and that Claude wouldn't know about such a thing!
Inside the blue holy city, Cardinal Cordell looked at the defenses on the city walls, more than 1,500 heavily armed soldiers, and twelve magic batteries, as well as more than sixty new arrivals of "peacemakers". Today he once again strengthened the city's defenses, but even then he was still very uneasy in his heart, and every "Holy Maiden Selection" was a moment of blood and sacredness. No one knows more about the city than he does, and he is best prepared for the coming war.
Cassius had slept for less than two hours when he was awakened by a sharp knock at the door, and they were to set off at once, to rush to the Holy City, where they were to begin looking for a suitable opportunity.
When they came to the square, there were no less than three hundred people gathered here, all of them were heavily armed cold-weapon warriors, their expressions were serious and slightly nervous, as if this day had been waiting for a long time, and everyone did not dare to relax. Immediately after getting in order, we will set off.
There is a huge gate with a height of more than ten meters on the side, and there is only one door frame, which is made of vines and stones. Peeto walked to the door and began to chant words, what was something that everyone could understand, and then, her whole body glowed blue, and the magic swirled in the door frame, and after a while the entire door frame was filled, the soldier and Claude walked in and Cassius followed, they passed through a transfer gate opened by Peew and saw the blue vegetation outside, and the real moon.
Ten miles away was the Blue Holy City, and the soldiers' faces looked extremely nervous. Claude, who was always relaxed, also clenched his two-handed greatsword, the magic on the sword body flickered and dimmed like his breath, and those incomprehensible words and symbols lined up along the wide blade, accompanied by the golden magic light, it seemed to be full of mysterious power.
Cassius was a little unnatural by the tense atmosphere, and the two weapons on his body were also trembling slightly, as if attracted by some mysterious power.
The whole team continued to approach the Blue Holy City, the walls were as bright as day, the guards were numerous, and there were a few "peacemakers" who had no faces, their whole bodies were white, glowing with divine light, and their bodies were athletic, and some of them had golden crosses on their chests, and there was a flow of magical power, and the golden crosses occupied the entire chest. When Claude saw them, his eyes were very serious, it seemed that the Peace were very difficult for him to deal with, they were small in number but powerful, and the Church did not know how much to invest in these Peace Ones.
The early hours of the morning came, and in the holy city, a hundred holy women candidates had their first trial. Dressed in blue and white robes, their faces obscured by golden masks, only their beautiful eyes leaking out, their steps neat and steady, holy and beautiful, their bodies concave and convex in the white robes, they approached the largest church hall in the Holy City, the huge hall made of stones, and the guards wrapped around the hall three times, more than thirty peacemakers.
Cassius asked Claude, "Are you really going to attack the city with three hundred men?" The other party said with a serious expression: "No, we don't need to attack the city to enter, you just need to break into the main hall and enter the square house as I said." Cassius thought to himself, "I'm going, no matter how you look at it, it's all a trick, so many guards only have sixty bullets on their bodies, and a magic club brought from the Sumerian family, are you going to break through such a defense, go in and out?"
At this moment, there was a starlight in the sky slowly spilling from the sky above the Holy City Hall, gradually converging into a beam of light shining down from the sky, enveloping the entire hall! The expressions of all the people around who saw this scene began to become more and more nervous.
The magic in the beam slowly spread around, and Claude didn't have any orders or instructions, everyone was watching.
Inside the main hall, each of the nun candidates was nourished by these mysterious powers, and they felt a holy spirit entering their bodies, and at the same time they felt the earth tremble slightly. The green cardinal's expression was solemn at the moment, looking at this scene, he grasped the guardrail in front of him with both hands, he knew that he was going to start.
Everyone in the Blue Sanctuary felt the earth shake, and at the same time, the beams of light in the sky became stronger and thicker, and the magic power became more abundant. The hundred candidates of the Holy Maidens in the main hall have been told that no matter what happens, they will not leave their positions, and their lives belong to the gods. As for the result, it is not stated, in short, stay in your place until the end of the whole ceremony.
The shaking of the earth became stronger and stronger, and people began to shout on the city walls!
"There is an enemy attack!" At this moment, several large pits appeared outside the city at the same time, and a dark aura gushed out from inside, and a low wail spread in all directions from the large pits ranging from more than ten meters to dozens of meters.
"Demon tide! It's a demon tide!" they acted!" shouted the soldiers on the city wall, and all the defenders looked at the big pits in the ground, and strange monsters crawled out of those pits!
They look like humans, but they crawl on all fours, their bodies are like vines weaved, they have irregular pits all over their bodies, dark red flames flicker in the pits, half of their heads are mouths, no lips, and their teeth are dense and pointed like barbs.
"What are these? Who made them? It's kind of disgusting to look at?" Cassius felt a chill on his back, like ice water wiping his back.
Claude's expression was solemn, and he clenched the big sword in his hand and said: "These are the real 'demons', I can't answer who made them, if I see that person, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"
The existence of "demons", even the people of this world feel like a fantasy, this is an era with magic and technology, and they don't have much knowledge of things in another world, and the only cognition comes from stories and books.
Now they are in front of them, strange in appearance and agile in their movements! Without any facilities, they can climb directly up vertical walls, leaving scorching marks behind them. Their howls are harsh and painful, as if to release their own pain.
The people on the walls also possess demon-breaking bullets, which are not as powerful as Cassius's, but they still do enough damage to demons. The demon-breaking bullet hit the demon's body and exploded the contact parts, sparks and tough skin splattered everywhere, and howls were heard one after another.
The muzzles of the guns on the walls were aimed at the slightly larger holes, and the green magic energy gathered in the barrels and bombarded the craters fiercely, and the demons were bombarded into powder before they could crawl out.
The Holy Maidens candidates in the main hall were very frightened when they heard the strange roars and violent sounds of guns and magic outside, but they had a mission to open their hearts and accept the divine power at this moment, and wanted to rid themselves of some distractions. They spread their arms and continued to greet the dazzling starlight.
The surrounding enchantment masters began to arrange the "Five Senses Enchantment" so that the people in the main hall could perform the ritual with peace of mind.
