622

"Your Excellency, an urgent telegram from the outlying towns!"

A red-gloved creature knocked on the door of the Temporary Operational Command in a hurry, clutching a few reports.

After receiving this telegram, the red gloves ran out of the telegraph office for a while, bypassing the three or four crowds who had spontaneously gathered in the square to pray.

The city built around the headquarters of the Church of the Night has absolute loyalty to the Goddess of the Night, and it is this piety that makes most of them righteously refuse to evacuate when the war comes, leaving only the children and the elderly, and choosing to stay in the city to help the members of the Church, vowing to fight together until the last moment.

They took the initiative to take the wounded from the front line to hospitals and even their own homes for treatment, and provided clean food and clothing to the soldiers and extraordinary people who were fighting.

Bang bang bang! The door, which had been knocked hard by the red gloves several times, finally opened, and he hurried inside.

"Your Excellency, the latest telegram! The town of Stars has fallen, and none of the residents have been spared, and Fursack's Second Legion has sent a vanguard force to clean up the town of Stars on the way to the aid of the First Legion, and it is suspected that a demigod is leading the team! ”

"At the time of this telegram, His Excellency Archbishop Garian of the Church of the Moon had already set out to investigate......"

Inside, another person was reporting, and the sound of crackling typewriters and telegraphs was incessant, and there was a tense atmosphere in the small building, which had been temporarily requisitioned because all the occupants had been evacuated.

Red Glove clenched the new telegram in his hand, and when the colleague's report was finished, he couldn't wait to speak:

"Your Excellency, the personnel of Moon Town have been evacuated! The church's red gloves said they had received an order to retreat from the army and had already set off from the station by steam train at 3:12 a.m., but there was a problem with their telegraph, which was only now being sent along with the latest! ”

He took out another piece of paper, looked at the time of the telegram, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and pinched the telegram tightly in his hand with his fingers.

"The residents of Moon Town have all been safely evacuated to Stone, the capital of East Chester County, at around six o'clock today, but the Archbishop Garrian and the accompanying members of the Red Gloves who left for the departure still have not ......"

It's all dawn...... No news has come yet.

In the current fierce battle, more than three hours of double disconnection between the occult and reality can basically be sentenced to death.

"What are we going to do? Excellency? If someone is sent to investigate, who will ...... it?"

While the discussion was raging in the Provisional Headquarters, a figure passed by silently, looked up at the window of the building, and continued to the southwest of the city.

……

"That's pretty much it, isn't it?"

Edward left the city and stayed on the cliffs outside the city, overlooking the snow-capped mountains and the abyss between them.

The snow on the mountains has not yet melted, making the sun shining on the mountains look cold.

"Originally, I was going to find an identity to sneak in without secrecy, but now it seems that I can only find it." Edward reached out and rubbed the ruby on his cane, the uniqueness of the demonic path had been changed by her, and she was still a little unaccustomed to not holding anything in her hand.

When you watch the sunrise back then, you should leave a mark...... Which angel of the night drove me away from the mountain, what Anna?

Edward raised his cane as he frowned as he recalled the stickman he remembered with the title of "Servant of the Secret" on his head.

In an instant, a blood-colored light enveloped everything in front of him.

As if it had been refracted by rubies, and a little bit of golden sunlight was worn into a crimson blood color in an instant, and the world was turned to the opposite side in an instant, and the snow in the sky turned into pitch black ash, and the earth was filled with a deep black that symbolized sin.

At this moment, all the evils that have occurred in the Amanda Mountains have taken on a physical form, their names are war, cowardice, slaughter, betrayal and chaos, and the souls and resentments of those who died of sin are awakened in the projection of hell, and before they have time to make a scream, the next moment they are shattered and disintegrated into the most primitive spirits, constructing this abyss that spreads and devours all.

"What is the need to preserve the kingdom of God?"

Edward exhaled indifferently, watching the white mist turn into a dark blue flame:

"Anyway, the materials of the Kingdom of God are all over the place, so you can't just reforge them as needed."

After saying this, she touched her chin and smacked it, since her real kingdom of God was still sinking in the trench, and the carrier was a real island, she would directly pick it up and smash it on the territory of other gods when she fought the god war...... Looks like the damage is high!

In just an instant, the blood-colored sky continued to spread out towards the southwest of the Amanda Mountains at an extremely fast speed, engulfing everything in its path.

“…… Ah, there it is. ”

The demon looked somewhere in the mountains.

The advent of the kingdom of God is hindered there by the slightest fleet, just as the flattening of a tablecloth touches a tiny bump that ignores the slightest carelessness.

The mountain storm roared abruptly, and against the pale sun, the floating objects that had been scattered in the air with the wind gradually became clear, and they fell as soon as they fell, leaving sticky scarlet spots on the ground.

Red snow, a symbol of fear and death.

Like a large, invisible hand holding a paintbrush and flicking it in the mountains, these scarlet specks outline a transparent outline on the mountains in the distance. Dark red blood slid down the walls and doors of the cathedral, and the portraits of saints and angels depicted on the high collage-stained-glass windows were either covered in blood or shed tears.

Edward squinted his eyes at the silhouette, then smiled kindly, took a step toward the cliff, and plunged into the darkness.

Bang!

In the boiling darkness and rising sea of blood, a hideous pitch-black claw smashed down like a mountain peak near the church where it had been hidden!

The mountains shook, the peaks collapsed, the church slanted to the side in an instant, the sculptures and stone bricks cracked, and the air suddenly appeared with a spiritual black veil.

As soon as the black veil appeared, it quickly disappeared, as if it was about to merge with the air again, and at that moment, the demon's claws gently hooked the thin light veil like a cicada's wings, as if it only took a little force to tear it apart.

"I am honored to be able to meet the true body of the legendary Church of Tranquility."

When she spoke, the whole world suddenly fell silent, and the blood rain gradually returned to normal, leaving only the sound of the wind accompanied by the words of the demons, from the windows, the cracks in the doors, the spirits, from every corner, from every path to the ears of the people in the cathedral.

“…… I have a lot of respect for the night watchmen who still hold on to their posts and can resist not surrendering to me, the saints who still have to fight despite their own difficulties, and the angels who are already assisting in the evacuation of the people in the church after recognizing the difference in strength. ”

The claws tore through the secret with ease.

Whether it is set up by the true God or the king of angels, it is no longer of any use at this moment.

This ancient church is completely revealed, and the sanctuary that legend has it that only the devout saints and the chosen ones can find in the mountains is completely exposed to the eyes of demons.

It's tall, grandiose, heavy, and made entirely of solid dark gray stone, standing tall in the midst of blizzards and the vicissitudes of history.

The claws let go of the veil of secrecy that dissipated in the air, grasping at the spire of the church like a slanted piece of wood, the stone bricks shattering, leaving deep cracks in them, overflowing with a scarlet surging with life.

“…… Until now, are you still clinging to waiting for the gods to save you? Humans, if you surrender now and leave the church to me, I might be in a good mood to spare you and the people of that city. ”

After a few moments, there was still no answer.

The demon laughed twice with perfunctory praise, and then she reached out and broke the spire of the church.

"Then I'll have to ask for it myself."

……

There was silence in the quiet church, as if there was not a single living person.

The thick door, which had to be raised to see the carving at the top of the door frame, slowly opened, and the uninvited guests entered the church calmly with a look of fear or uneasiness.

Not feeling the feeling of being welcomed by the extraordinary people of the Church of the Night, the door was empty, and Edward casually glanced at the church - there were thirty-two in the middle sequence, seven in the sage, two angels, and the angels did not come forward, but they left through the seal with the secret shelter in the middle sequence, and they looked like they were ready to come and fight her to the death after sending people away. Edward didn't plan to intercept them, because no matter what, the Night Church still had to exist, and it was coming, and the Night and the God of War Church would be beaten, and the Amanda Mountains couldn't let Fursack's God of War come in right now.

Stripped of its mysteries and divine majesty, the Church of Tranquility is nothing more than a magnificent architectural masterpiece.

As for - if someone really surrendered and handed over the Sequence One of her lost extraordinary traits and prisoner pathways, then should they still fight?

Answer: Yes...... It depends on the mood.

"I always feel a little guilty about damaging a building like this."

Edward looked up at the vanishing zenith, from which the temperatureless daylight shone on, reflecting the blood-colored sky outside. She had torn off the old frescoes of saints and angels along with the roof of the church, and was now lying in her collection case.

While it is true that the destruction of the masterpiece is somewhat regrettable, this is not a reason to open up to the church and the believers in the night.

She carelessly tore open the heavy seals and secrets, and headed to the dark underground sealing room. In the dark corridor, Edward finally heard the footsteps of humans—the sound of approaching footsteps, which were getting closer and closer, panicked and frightened, like a poor man chased by a nightmare.

The person has not yet come to the front, but with a hint of the emotion of seeing death as home...... In this case, it is not the person who comes to lead the way and deliver things to him.

Are devout believers or people who are driven by anger to seek revenge?

No one surrenders, so I have to find the place of the seal myself?

In normal times, Edward would still be a little interested in listening to the other party's words "for the sake of God" or "for the ...... you killed" and then teasing a few words before making a move, but now she is a little impatient, and she doesn't really want to know what the other party has suffered. So, under the gaze of the indifferent gaze from the deepest part of the abyss, the creature running in front of him suddenly twisted, and the cold darkness enveloped him, and there was a dull soft thud in his chest, and blood gushed out from the seven orifices, and he was killed by his own emotions in this way.

Then, Edward inhaled slightly, as if preparing to blow out a candle.

With a dark breath of destruction, it swept forward, turning into a straight torrent that swept through every corner of the sealing room.

Everywhere he went, the black-threaded seals, the walls, the floor, and the extraordinaries who had no time to dodge all collapsed at the touch of a button, and even the bottom of the church and even the more than 1,000-year-old frozen soil in the mountains were burned neatly, like cotton wool falling into the fire.

The dust and ash were gone with the wind.

After breaking the seal, the activated seals that had not dared to move in the breath just now lit up in an instant, and the boxes grew legs, revealing a golden light through the cracks, and the inside seemed to be filled with treasures, but Edward only saw countless piles of broken bones. The blood-stained saber that no one used moved on its own, being grabbed by a withered palm that was also a seal. The palms of his hands hung in the air, and the rusty iron sword slid across the ground, leaving a series of tooth-aching sounds. The music box clicked and opened the button, and there was no dancing villain, only a round piece of gold attached to the chassis, radiating radiant gold threads outward, and its hinge turned wildly, making a mechanical sound:

"Praise the sun! Praise the sun! ”

Edward couldn't help but look at the music box twice, and reached out to grab it and put it in his pocket.

When she studied the use of the music box and began to think about how to sneak into the real Creator's office, the tunnel in front of her that had revealed the original appearance of the frozen soil suddenly went black, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

The figure was dressed in a simple linen robe with patches, a belt twisted from tree bark around his waist, long black hair falling wantonly, and his feet were covered with dust and scars.

It was a lady with very ordinary features, and her dark eyes were dotted with a starry light.

Just seeing her, Edward's mood immediately calmed down, and she noticed that the survivors in the basement were still moving, and a full red moon had risen in the sky outside the window.

Edward was stunned for a moment, but smiled with some surprise:

"I remember you, you are Arianna...... Night goddess, don't you have any other vessel for the gods? ”

The lady looked at her quietly, with stars twinkling in one eye and the light of the red moon in the other, and only after a long time did she speak softly:

"I thought about it for a long time, but I decided to take a gamble."

She smiled: "I haven't had such emotions for a long time, maybe I haven't been forced into such a situation for a long time." ”

"You don't have to come." Edward said casually, "I'm not interested in hunting down an angel king anyway. ”

The corners of the Night Goddess's mouth curled slightly, and then she put it down.

"I can't do that."

"If I give up my anchor, I'm nothing."
