Chapter 8

We came to the bridgehead, and the angelic defenders on the opposite bank were eyeing us. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Highness, those angels are just here to make up the numbers, should we kill them?" asked Lucifer, pointing to the other side of the river, a fallen angel officer.

Lucifer shook his head, "There's no need, no one is allowed to act without my orders, do you hear?"

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"Your Highness. A female fallen angel asked, "Do you need my help?"

Lucifer didn't reply, "No, it's my business, you can't act without my orders." ”

Lucifer and I got on the bridge and walked on, until we reached the middle of the bridge, and there were countless defenders on the other side of the bridge who were fighting at us, and we stopped at once. Someone on the south bank shouted, "There is an enemy, it's Lucifer." ”

Raphael and Samael were looking out from the towering castle, something Lucifer and I had already noticed.

"Angel guarding the city, I beseech you to let us go. Lucifer shouted, "Or ......"

Raphael quickly flew up to us and said, "Lucifer, please go back, lest you be ruined, you have caused enough trouble." ”

"What?" Lucifer showed an innocent expression on his face, "Am I in trouble?" Then, he instantly retracted his innocent expression, cried and laughed, and continued, " You should ask Samael this question, it was he who started this war, it was he who told me that Gabriel was going to be guillotined, so I planned to save her, but I didn't expect this to be a trap set by him, and now, I haven't seen Gabriel, I think she must have been robbed by Samael, whether she is dead or alive we don't know, please keep your eyes open, Raphael, your enemy is in the castle behind you, close to you, why do you stop me?"

"You have already occupied most of the Angel City, what else do you have to say? Today, all the angels of the Seven Heavens have arrived, do you want to make a break here?"

"Alright then, I'll make a deal with you. ”

"Don't talk to me about any deals, it's useless to tell me. ”

"As long as you hand over Samael, I'll withdraw my troops, it's as simple as that. ”

"You occupied the northern city, Samael appeared in time to help us fight, and also saved me, it can be seen from this that he wants to reform his ways, and all the angels have also seen his performance, as long as he has such a performance, even if he is guilty, I will intercede for him in front of the Holy Father, should you want to kill him because he didn't help you conquer the city in Angel City?"

Lucifer held back the anger that was about to explode, "Well, remember what you said today, and don't be irresponsible for what you said, don't regret it." ”

"If you ask me to hand over a man who has changed his ways, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

"I can't explain it to you now. ”

"The best explanation is that you should withdraw your troops quickly, and Michael and Uriel will soon arrive with their troops. If the killing angel Cyra intervenes again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to leave. ”

"I want to go, no one can stop me, that Cyra only knows how to kill innocents, he thinks everyone is afraid of him, in fact, I have long wanted to clean him up, if he can come, it would be great. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I won't believe anything you say, you have committed a heinous crime. ”

At this time, Michael and Uriel arrived with their armies and surrounded me and Lucifer.

Uriel pointed his sword at Lucifer and said, "Lucifer, take your men away quickly." ”

"Let's go, Lucifer, beware of a fire in the backyard. Michael said.

"Whoever can tell me where Gabriel is, I'll leave at once, and I'll swear never to come to this place again. Lucifer said.

"Didn't Gabriel go looking for you?"

"She didn't, I didn't see her, but I fell into the trap set by Samael. ”

"Samael?" Michael, puzzled, "what the hell is going on?"

"Let me explain it to you. Raphael chimed in, "Lucifer tried to launch an attack on the City of Angels under the guise of saving Gabriel, who was about to be executed, but was denounced by Samael and Beelzebub and others. ”

"Raphael, you have to be responsible when you speak. Lucifer said.

Samael walked over, "Can you let me say a few words?" ”

"What do you want to say, Samael?" asked Michael.

When Lucifer saw Samael, he was furious: "You have finally arrived. ”

"Lucifer, what are you doing here, do you want to kill Samael?" asked Uriel.

"He wanted to kill the witnesses. Raphael said.

"It doesn't matter, he wants me to die, I won't be afraid, kill me alone, and there are witnesses such as Beelzebub and Belier. Samael said without changing his face.

"Samael, you are very cunning. Lucifer said, "You're a genius liar, and even I have to believe your nonsense, which I didn't see before." ”

"You and I are in hell, why do all those fallen angels embrace you? Even if you are a devil, you will be praised as a hero by many people, and I ...... But I can only endure the pain in the abyss, when those fallen angels look at me with indifferent eyes, you are enjoying the reputation, I am fed up with you, I want to get rid of you, I don't ask for any glory, only to one day expose your conspiracy. ”

"Lucifer, what else do you have to say?" asked Raphael.

Lucifer laughed and cried, "I don't think I have anything to say at this point, but I'm going to ask Samael to tell me where Gabriel is now?"

Beelzebub hurriedly said: "I'll explain, I'll infer that after your plot succeeds, Gabriel will be the queen, and after you capture the Angel City, she will naturally show up, but all this is just my speculation." ”

"Beelzebub, why are you doing this?"

"In order not to let your plot succeed. ”

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that Gabriel wants to rebel against you?" asked Lucifer incredulously.

"Shut up for me. Lucifer scolded, looking as if he was about to do something.

Michael immediately pointed his sword at him, and at the same time used magic, and a wall of fire surrounded me and Lucifer. "Lucifer, you must leave immediately. Michael persecuted.

Lucifer showed no weakness, he sucked all the surrounding flames into the palm of his hand, concentrated the power of the flames, formed a small fireball, and then turned the fireball into a cloud of gas and evaporated. "You are no match for me. He said, "My strength is greater than all the archangels." In terms of numbers, I will never be able to compare with you, but compared to the elite and resourcefulness, your group of archangels combined is no better than me Lucifer. ”

Except for Michael and Uriel who remained calm, the other angels immediately put on a fighting posture, preparing to fight Lucifer to the death, and if Lucifer fought back with all his might, it would inevitably cause a great catastrophe, and two-thirds of the kingdom of heaven would be destroyed. But he really couldn't bear it, and it seemed that he had to punish this group of angels who did not distinguish between right and wrong. He suddenly stretched out his six wings, his eyes shining with hellish fire. The entire Angel City was soon covered in thunderstorm clouds, and the tumbling dark clouds were quickly pressed down, and the deafening thunder and lightning shook the entire mountainous area.

The fallen angels approached the riverbank, ready to attack like a winding arrow. This is about the fate of the City of Angels, in order to avoid the situation getting worse, I must stop Lucifer, I said to him: "What you have to do is exactly what Samael wants to see, please don't act rashly, your enemy is Samael and them, not anyone else, you have to prove to Gabriel that you are a hero, she is still waiting for you to save her, don't be impulsive, please believe me." ”

His mood soon calmed down, and the armies on both sides were no longer so eyeing each other.

"You're doing it wisely, Lucifer. Michael said, "Go back to your sinful hell and don't come here again." ”

"What about Gabriel? I don't know where she is. Lucifer said.

"Maybe in the palace of hell waiting for the good news of being queen. Samael chimed in.

This time, instead of getting angry, Lucifer remained silent, and then returned to the North Shore with me. In the end, he used his great power to gather all the fallen angels who had come, and together with me, they turned into a dazzling light and disappeared into the City of Angels.

After a dazzling flash of light, I found myself sitting on a stone chair in a large hall, in the center of which was a crystal clear square pool, flanked by stone chairs, and the roof of the hall was supported by rows of huge stone statues, which looked very magnificent. Could it be the Capitol of hell?

I came to the arched window made of square stone and looked out into the world, and I was amazed by the magnitude of a medieval Gothic metropolis full of darkness and horror, and I was probably at the highest point in the city.

The air was chaotic, with only flocks of crows and double-headed eagles occasionally passing by. Fierce dragons weave through the chaos, occasionally roaring with a creepy roar.

There was a sound of light footsteps in the hallway not far away. "Who?" I shouted. I saw a man and a woman walking out of the dim corridor, I took a closer look, it was Frank and Isabel, I walked forward quickly, very excited, "Frank, Isabel, why are you here?"

"We've been waiting for you here for a long time. Isabel said.

"It was a fallen angel named Cecia who came to inform us. "She was Lucifer's subordinate, and she followed Lucifer for many years. ”

"How did I get here?" I asked.

"You've been sleeping here for days and nights. ”

"Has Gabriel found it?"

Isabel let out a long sigh, "Lucifer is also worried about this?"

"Scat and Emily are still alive, and we must kill them and leave no one behind. Frank said.

"We'll find them sooner or later, but now is not the time to look for them. I said, "Lucifer has helped us many times and saved us many times, and we should repay him by finding Gabriel first." ”

"Lucifer has already told us that nine times out of ten she was taken captive by Samael's gang. ”

"What if she's already killed by Samael?" Isabel asked in a low voice.

My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and after some careful consideration, I tried to calm down, "No, Samael doesn't have the guts. ”

"There is another possibility, which is ......"

"What is it? Frank asked eagerly.

"It's just my guess. ”

"Are you going to die in a hurry? ”

"Gabriel has become a mortal. ”

"Look at what you guessed, it's getting more and more outrageous. ”

"Samael had endured the bite of poisonous insects in the abyss of hell, would Gabriel be locked up in one of the prisons of the abyss?" I asked.

"Lucifer turned almost the entire abyss over and killed all of Samael's followers in Hell. Isabel said.

Suddenly, a ghost appeared at the door of the temple, wearing a cloak, hood, and a deadwood staff, wrapped in a layer of black mist, and he did not appear to be on the ground with his feet, but suspended above the ground.

"Who are you?" I asked the ghost.

"Don't worry, it's Virgil. "He's a guide to hell, and Isabel and I rely on him for guidance along the way." ”

Virgil came to us quietly, and at that moment, I could see his face clearly, it was an iron-blue face, two blood-red eyes like two blood cells, and cold breath came out of his mouth from time to time as he spoke. He said, "Several, Lucifer's Highness has come down." ”

Lucifer then walked into the hall with a few main generals, and he was glad that Virgil had brought Isabel and Frank here, "I'm glad you brought all my friends, Virgil, thank you!"

"Thanks to you, Your Highness!"

"Things are very bad, Samael has hatched a deception that has deepened the conflict between us and the archangels, Gabriel has become the object of suspicion of the angels, and Samael is likely to be the archangel, I don't think I need to say more, you all know it. Next, I will lead you to continue to deal with the attack of the angelic army, and I will also spare some of my men to look for Gabriel, and where to find her? I don't know, and I may never find her. ”

A fallen angel suddenly stood up, full of confidence, like a chicken, and his face showed a hint of arrogance. He walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the mirror-like water, and said, "Samael is just a homeless ruffian, and there is no need to devote all his energy to him." ”

"Iliad, things are not as simple as you think. ”

A female fallen angel had just stood up and sat down, she was familiar to me, and I suddenly remembered that she was the female fallen angel who had appeared in Angel City. Frank whispered to me, "She's Cecia, one of Lucifer's followers." ”

When Lucifer saw that Cecia was about to speak, he asked, "Cecia, you seem to have something to say, don't you?"

Cecia shook her head slowly, as if pondering, "Your Highness, maybe we should go to the human world to find Gabriel's whereabouts. ”

"Why?"

"My gut tells me that. ”

"Chessia, intuition is always very different from reality. "Intuition alone is not enough, you should say why." ”

"After Gabriel was kidnapped, he may have managed to escape. ”

"How do you know?"

"Remember Samael saying in front of many angels, 'Gabriel wants to rebel'? Obviously, he could not find Gabriel, so he wanted to stir up the hatred of the angels against her and banish her from heaven forever, lest she tell Samael's plot when she returned to heaven. I deduce that Samael may well have sent someone to hunt her down, and will use the excuse of 'her rebellion' to get rid of her, thus consolidating his position in the kingdom of heaven, both in order to keep her position and get rid of the evil. ”

"But the earth is so big, how can I find her?" said Lucifer worriedly.

"You asked her to meet her on the Bridge of King Richard the Lionheart in St. London, and if he did escape, I guess the first thing she wanted to do now was to get to the place she had agreed with you as soon as possible, and hopefully to see you, and although it had been a long time, I think she would have hoped to meet you miraculously at the agreed place. ”

"I have to go. ”

"Your Highness, you can't go, you're gone, Samael is likely to take advantage of the situation with those fallen angel rebels. ”

"So what should I do?"

"Leave it to me to find Gabriel. ”

"I'll send more people with you. ”

"No, in order not to have a difference of opinion, I want to go alone. ”

"Alright then, if you have any problems, report them to me immediately. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"Samael is cunning, you have to be careful. ”

Cecia walked over to the pool, and a beautiful city was reflected in the pool, it was St. London at night, and we were looking down on the whole city. Cecia jumped into the pool, and at that moment, the city in the pool, along with her, suddenly disappeared before our eyes.

"I think she must be crazy. The Iliad muttered.

"She needs someone to protect her. I said.

"She's going alone, it's dangerous. Isabel said.

"Or the three of us will go and protect her secretly. ”

"That's a good idea. Frank said.

Lucifer hesitated, but was still very confident in us, "Okay, then you guys be careful. ”

The pool re-reflected the whole of St. London, and the three of us jumped into the pool one after another.

Suddenly, we appear in the night sky of St. London, hurtling down in a cyclone, and finally landing on the banks of the River Thames, where we begin to search for Cecia.
