Chapter 49: Departure
"Quincy, don't lift it, but come with us, manpower is tight right now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Andre pointed to Quincy.
Then, AndrΓ© looked at John and Ed on the side, pointed at Lance and gave the order: "John, Ed, you two, carry this guy for me." And as for you......"
Andre glanced at Lance, and from his eyes, he couldn't read what Andre was thinking in his heart now: "You are seriously injured, just lie down honestly for me." The above orders shall be carried out immediately! No one shall have any objections!"
As soon as Andre's sonorous words fell, Lance, who had not yet reacted, felt that his right shoulder was suddenly patted.
As soon as Lance turned around, he saw that it was the skinny spear militiaman Ed: "This Uncle Lance, you can lie down for me in peace." Come on, you can't disobey military orders, I don't want to be whipped. β
After that, Thin Ed and Fat John directly carried the stretcher to Lance, and Lance had to sit on the stretcher.
As soon as Lance sat down, Thin Ed and Fat John looked at each other with a smirk. Then the two of them shook the stretcher violently, and Lance fell on the stretcher. It didn't matter, but it pressed directly against Lance's injured left arm. Suddenly, the feeling of a thousand cuts came from the left arm again.
"You two!" Veronica saw and hurried over to help Lance. She glared at Skinny Ed and Fat John fiercely and said, "If you dare to play such a prank again, I will tell my grandfather to straighten out the discipline of the two of you!"
When Thin Ed and Fat John heard this, they hurriedly put away the smug smiles that had succeeded in their prank. Thin Ed hastened to say, "No, Miss Veronica, I was wrong, I was wrong. β
"All the soldiers of the garrison followed. Open the door and go!"
With the order of Captain Bag, the heavy door of the chapel slowly opened again with a "squeak" sound. And Lance looked out of the door, a golden translucent light seemed to envelop the door, as if it was a waterfall formed by a gilded streamer, I don't know what it was.
"Stop!" As soon as everyone took a few steps, Andrei's voice rang out again: "Winnie, why are you following?
"Grandpa, I don't! I'm going to take care of Lance!" Veronica retorted with a stubborn voice beside Lance.
Lance then remembered that Veronica was going with him. But there is no sense of disobedience. blamed himself for getting used to Veronica around him, and didn't feel anything wrong.
"Winnie!" Andre tightened his tone.
"No! I'm going to follow!" Veronica also became stubborn, and for a moment the grandfather and grandson faced each other here.
Lance hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Winnie, you can stay here." There are so many patients here that you need to take care of, isn't it? With Grandpa Andre here, what will happen to me?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the nasty ghosts. The White Dragon Princess Loxani flew over and said to Veronica, "If any of them dare to bully the nasty ghost, I will do justice and make him look good!"
Lance's mind suddenly turned up with bitterness, and he didn't ask Loxani to do "justice", but only asked not to cause trouble again. Catalyzed by Roxani's greatness, Lance is now the antithesis of the town.
Little Tommy also raised his hand confidently and said, "Sister Veronica, I can also take care of Brother Lance!"
"But...... All right. Then you should be safe, and especially don't be reckless!" Veronica's hand that had been holding the stretcher tightly before let go. Then everyone walked towards the door.
Lance lay down, and Roxani flew down to Lance's chest, where he lay to rest. Lance asked in a low voice, "Lorney, what did you just say to Grandpa Andrea?"
Loxani yawned and said nonchalantly, "You'll find out later." β
"Oh my God, I feel ominous. β
Roxani glanced at Lance and said, "Don't you believe me?"
Lance had a black line on his face and muttered in a low voice, "It's you who doesn't believe it." Please don't give me any more bad ideas. β
When Lance was carried out of the door of the mahogany chapel, he finally saw what the golden waterfall outside the church was.
A large golden hemispherical light mask was fastened above the mahogany chapel like a basin. The golden wall was like a big umbrella, and countless streams of water that looked like gold were slowly left along the wall.
On each of the four symmetrical corners of the wall, a priest in a gold-patterned white robe casts a spell and chants, and the sacred, soothing, and reassuring chant melody calms Lance's heart. In a trance, I felt God's blessing and blessing.
The four priests held a delicate book in their left hand. The right hand was held high towards the sky, and a golden beam of light shot out from the palm of their right hand. Four pillars of golden light pierced the sky and reached the dome of the golden streamer. It seems that they are the casters of this golden streamer magic array.
"It's spectacular. The White Dragon Princess Roxani flew beside Lance, looking around and admiringly, saying:
"I've heard of this. It's called 'Divine Shield'. It is a defensive barrier used by Papal priests and paladins against the army of the undead. You can't destroy the undead, but you can fend off them. This is also the reason why zombies do not attack the Mahogany Chapel. It's a pity that this powerful enchantment can only be built on the basis of a church. β
"Is this magic?" said Lance, who had to marvel at the unprecedented spectacle before him. In Lance's mind, only magic can create such miracles.
However, the white dragon princess Loxani shook her head and said:
"Although it's generally classified as magic. But strictly speaking, it's not magic, it's an oracle. Oracle summons the protection and blessings of the gods through chanting and prayer, while magic simply controls the power of the elementals with one's own will through chanting, circles, and casting materials. are two different things. β
"Hmm...... It seems to be a little understood. Although Lance still felt foggy, Roxani's explanation was still somewhat understandable. Probably the meaning is that magic is to seek oneself, and oracles are to seek God.
The team marched along the gravel path to the border of the shield wall of the 'Shield of God's Blessing'. Lance saw that the outside of the ornate shield wall was devastated and lifeless. There seemed to be a faint mist in the air. And the streets are full of hacked zombie corpses and fragments of corpses that I don't know what parts they are. It was like a battlefield after a bloody battle.
In the dim streets in the distance, more than a dozen zombies could be vaguely seen wandering around aimlessly. Standing at the head of the group, Andrei drew his sword and whispered a chanted oracle. Suddenly, Andrei's armor and long sword once again burst into golden light and runes.
While facing the Banshee Princess Doloris, the White Dragon Princess Roxani had seen Andre use this oracle once. This is the oracle of the "Holy Shield" series used by the paladins. And Andre is the healer knight of the Knights of Redemption, so Andrei's should be the "Redemption Shield", which can repel the undead who attempt to attack, and the weak undead may even be shattered by the divine shield, and can slowly help the caster heal the wounds.
Andrei whispered a few words to the captain of the garrison, Bag, who was also drawing his weapon and eager to try.
Then Captain Bagh turned around and shouted, "Soldiers of the garrison! Even if you are asked to cut off your hands or feet, you must do it without hesitation. Got it?"
"Got it!"
More than two dozen soldiers of the garrison all shouted with the characteristic fortitude of a soldier. From this loud roar, Lance did not feel that they were a militia garrison of both peasants and soldiers, but had the demeanor of a regular army.
"Okay! Quincy, Marshall, Aaron, Green, you four veterans are going outside with Andre and me to clear the field. For the rest, go two or three people to the chapel and bring some straw, and the rest go and bring out the remains of the church, especially the body of Quincy's mother, be careful. Got it?"
"My mother?" Quincy muttered in confusion, but the military order could not be violated, and Quincy did not say much. And Captain Bagg must have a reason for giving such an order.
With the order of the captain Bag, I saw Andre and Bagh each clenching the long sword in their hands, and led the four of Quincy out of the barrier of the Divine Shield and stepped into the dark and heavy outside world. And a dozen or so soldiers who stayed behind also turned around to find wheat straw and move the corpses, leaving only Lance, Loxani, and Thin Ed and Fat John, who carried Lance, to watch the battle.
However, Lance didn't see the expected scene of screaming and rushing up to fight the zombies. Instead, six people walked out cautiously. Every step is taken carefully. Almost every step you take is to look around your surroundings.
Andrei and Bag led the way in front with long swords. The four of Quincy were all armed with light crossbows, full of vigilance.
