Although it was just a surprise attack by demons, the humans suffered heavy casualties in this surprise attack.

Enchantments can't be destroyed, but they can be compressed.

The nature of the Holy Light energy determines that it is a force that will constantly fight for space, so it has been compressed a lot inward in the confrontation with the dark forces of the outside world, so that the entire outer city wall is exposed.

A day later, the complex line of defense, which had been in order, had been destroyed.

The soldiers on the walls were all wounded, missing arms and legs abounded, damaged weapons were thrown all over the ground, and the corpses of monsters and knights paved the roads on the walls.

The magic crystals on the magic crystal cannon were turned into even finer powder by the ape-like demons that climbed up, and even the dense runes on the city walls were worn out by more than half. A city wall without runes is exactly like an ordinary stone, and there will be cracks and so on. And now, the walls of the Imperial City are full of rifts without runes, and even Antonis can't be sure if they can hold off the next attack.

The demons are clearly confident, and they should have more hole cards to be played.

I can't imagine what kind of looting will happen to the inhabitants of the city when they break through it.

"No!~" Antonis almost yelled at the words: "We must organize death squads immediately!"

Death squads, as the name suggests, are soldiers who go to battle with the belief that there is no life or death. And the death squad organized now, in fact, it would be better to call it a hero team if it can.

Since the chance of relying on conventional means to defend the imperial city is already less than fifty percent, then needless to say, at this time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to organize a death squad composed of the most powerful warriors in the kingdom to go and kill the demon king.

As long as you can kill the Demon King, everything else will be solved.

Although Antonis is now the commander of the city's defenses, he is also the most powerful warrior in the kingdom. As a powerful warrior, he had already counted himself together when he shouted to form a death squad. In his heart, he has already put life and death aside, and is ready to lead the commander to conquer the demon king at any time!

The selection of the death squads will be presided over by the Pope, and the representatives of the various forces will discuss them in the Papal Palace, and then they will set out for the expedition.

Although it was a waste of time, it was a pity that even Antonis was not able to mobilize the power of those powerful knights.

The stakes are high, and this meeting did not wait until Crowning Day, as is customary. Rather, less than an hour later, the cumbersome procedures were bypassed, and His Holiness the Pope conducted the meeting himself.

Lopez also followed Antonis to the Papal Palace, which he did not ask for, but was not known to be named by the upper echelons of the Holy See.

Although Antonis and he were a little unhappy, they still had to obey the order when it came down.

Confused, Lopez came to the Papal Palace. It is worthy of being the most magnificent building in the entire kingdom, and its splendor is still undiminished in such a time of war, but the wide square in front of the building has an inexplicable and dignified atmosphere. It is precisely this strange atmosphere that makes people become heavy, and most of the officials at all levels encountered along the way are in a hurry, and no one leaves a whisper on the way.

With the herald of the Papal Guard, Lopez stepped into the kingdom's symbol of power for the first time.

As we all know, Elonier is a **** country. In this country, the pope is the only commander-in-chief, and the royal and divine power is concentrated in him alone. However, such a system of government was obviously unhealthy, and the aristocracy became an important counterweight to the pope and did its best to consolidate their rule.

The Pope sat on his throne in the middle of the hall, and today he was not wearing the robe of the past, but the more luxurious imperial robe. He used the status of king today instead of the pope, so as paladins, they did not have to kneel, they only needed to perform a knightly salute with one hand.

The Pope's handsome face was still there, but his face was already full of sadness, and everyone could see that the Pope had recently been heartbroken by the demonic invasion.

Indeed, the demons launched a general attack without warning, and the Westside Fortress fell overnight because of the traitors. All kinds of major events that could destroy the secular dynasty were barely stabilized by his efforts, and he was even able to organize a huge counteroffensive.

It has to be said that this good-looking pope is not as unreliable as he looks.

The old saying that you don't have a hairless face and can't do things well is not reflected here.

"You're all here. The pope on the throne spoke, his voice not the same as when Lopez had met him at the base, but one full of exhaustion and twilight. Think about it, how long has it been since this pope has been looking for Alatina?

"Yes, Your Majesty, all the warriors of the kingdom whose strength is above the sixth order have now gathered outside the hall, ready to respond to the call of the country at any time. ”

"Are the commissioners here?"

"Here it is, Your Majesty. ”

About ten people walked out of the small door on the side, all of them wearing mage robes, with long beards on their chins, typical of magicians.

Onis, Lopez's cheap master, was among them.

They are the ten honorary commissioners of the kingdom, the responsibility for the entire magic of Elonir.

Although the commissioners are all highly respected ** divisions, their combat effectiveness may be stronger than that of all the warriors combined, but the long chanting time of magic has cut off the Pope's idea of letting them follow the death squad to hunt the demon king.

Rather than sending them to death like this, it is better to let them stay in the rear and save a forbidden spell to come out.

Although this kind of forbidden spell without sudden can only destroy some low-level demons, but even so, it is better than nothing.

After all, the perfect line of defense formed by the magic crystal cannon had proven to be imperfect yesterday.

After the meeting, the herald began to summon the chosen knights. Ordinary members are named by him, while commanders are named by the Pope.

"Argo the Storm Hero. ”

"Adonis, the demon knight."

"Arrownir, Star of Elonier. ”

"Antonis, the sword of the kingdom. ”

Suddenly, the voice of the call came from above, and the four men who heard their names stepped forward and made a knightly salute to face the Pope.

"The minister is here!" the four of them said, although it was not these two words, but it probably meant that.

"As the vanguard of the death squad, the four of you led twenty elite knights of the sixth order to hunt down the demon king. Do you have the confidence to do it?"

"Yes!" they replied aloud. At this time, we must not lose faith.

The Pope nodded in satisfaction, and a knight stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, how can we get close to the Demon King? If we are alone, we still have some confidence, but if we are in the midst of ten thousand armies..."

"Well, that's a problem. The Pope pinched his chin and turned to look at the honorary members next to him.

"The Magisters will create a safe environment for you, and you don't have to worry about being besieged. , just try your best to kill the Demon King. ”

"If that's the case, please wait for our good news!"
