Chapter 248: Fallen Angels

One soldier fell, and soon a new one was added, and both sides were already red-eyed, as if they had forgotten the fear of death.

As the headquarters of the Holy See, the unique political significance of the Holy Mountain of Light makes this mountain city unique.

Since the Terrans became the overlord of the continent, this is the safest place in the whole continent. The fortresses of the city walls do not exist, and the main thing is self-confidence.

This has also been confirmed in the past years. Except for the infighting in the Holy See, he has never been touched by a foreign enemy.

It's a pity that no matter how brilliant the power is, there will be a day of decline. The Holy See, which has rotted internally, is facing its greatest challenge today.

The roaring magic crystal cannons, brilliant magic, and galloping crossbow arrows could not hide the fact that the Holy See was declining day by day.

The power of faith is strong, but it cannot make up for the gap in strength. Compared with the elite Frankish army, the temporarily recruited Holy See army is completely cannon fodder.

If it weren't for the investment of a large amount of extraordinary strength to participate in the battle, the fragile defense line of the Holy Mountain would have been torn apart long ago.

Various apologetics were thrown into battle, and the heart of Pius VII was dripping blood. These are the essence of the Holy See, and once the losses are heavy, it is difficult to make up for them in a short time.

The world of great controversy has just begun, and it has lost its heritage, and in the future competition, it will undoubtedly suffer a big loss.

Drink to quench your thirst, and you can only drink it first. chronic poisoning, you can also find a way to rescue; If the enemy breaches the holy mountain, then there is nothing.

"Your Majesty, you can't go on like this!

Inquisition, Inquisition, Ascetics, Ascetics...... Although the personal strength is strong, it is not the army after all. Directly into the battlefield, we suffer too much.

With just one round of enemy attacks, we lost hundreds of elites. If it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that before the reinforcements arrive, we will suffer heavy losses first.

Instead of sitting back and waiting to die, we should take advantage of our many masters and sneak attack the enemy camp tonight and teach the Franks a hard lesson! ”

Blake said viciously.

The defense officer of the Holy Mountain is not good, all parties have suffered heavy losses, and everyone's grievances are concentrated on him.

If effective measures are not taken, when the war is over, the disgruntled factions will not be able to spare him.

In order to avoid being angered, he had to do something about it now. At the moment, the most suitable option is to attack the enemy camp at night.

"You mean to bring the Sanctuary into battle?"

Pius VII asked with a slight hesitation.

It is also an unwritten rule that the Sanctuary does not appear on the battlefield. In the past years, the Sanctuary was rarely seen in the Terran Civil War.

On the one hand, the destructive power of the Sanctuary is too great, and it is easy to upset the balance in the war; On the other hand, it is to preserve the vitality of the race and save the situation out of control.

"Yes, Your Majesty!

Unlike in the past, the power of the alien race has been greatly weakened, and some of the original rules are no longer necessary to follow.

Our masters have all returned to the Holy Mountain, but it is impossible for all the Frankish Kingdom's Sanctuary powerhouses to accompany the army, and it is more beneficial for us to break the rules! ”

Blake's explanation made everyone's eyes shine. It's all at the point of life and death, and they don't care about the rules at all.

It is better than breaking the rules of war than directly and desperately. If you can't slow down the pace of the enemy, the next offensive and defensive battle of the Holy Mountain will become more and more tragic.

"Good!"

After making a difficult decision, Pius VII turned his head again and said to everyone: "If the enemy dares to attack the Holy Mountain, he will definitely be prepared, and it will be difficult to attack the enemy camp at night.

It will take some time for reinforcements to arrive. For now, the only way to do this is to restart the calling.

Bishop Sauron, prepare the offerings. Tell the Sons and Daughters to get ready, and if the situation gets out of hand, summon angels to come! ”

Receiving this answer, everyone's expressions became solemn. Don't look at the doctrinal perfection of angels, in fact, the Holy See is also very taboo about angels.

No one would want to summon these heterogeneous creatures unless they had to, even if they were messengers of the gods.

The summoning methods are too cruel, and there is not much difference from the cult is one thing; On the other hand, the strength of the angels who descended was completely random, the strong ones could be compared to the Holy Domain, and the weak ones were ordinary knights.

To make matters worse, these angels possess their own wisdom and only carry out the Pope's orders selectively, and act uncontrollably after their arrival.

Referring to the information left by the ancestors, all the angels came without poking the basket. It is good not to say that it is a firm faith, and it is good not to shake the faith of the people.

……

At midnight, the silence in the Frankish barracks was terrible. As the commander-in-chief, the Marquis of Sunil was looking at the map of the Papal States at the moment.

From time to time, I also walked out of the camp tent and looked at the starry sky, as if waiting for something.

The seemingly peaceful camp is actually a hidden murderous motive. There are countless traps and traps, and if you accidentally get into them, you can be killed in an instant.

Under the cover of night, a group of dark shadows flashed, and before the patrolling soldiers could react, they had already fallen.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

Deal with the patrolling soldiers, but accidentally trigger the trap in the camp as they go deeper. The flying bolts not only took away a few unlucky people, but also sounded the camp alarm.

"Enemy attack!"

His whereabouts were revealed, and the Frankish soldiers, who had already been prepared, came out of the camp in armor.

Seeing this scene, Pius VII's face suddenly turned ugly.

As the Pope, he personally led the team to carry out raids, but the beheading plan still ended in failure.

Ants bite elephants to death. In the face of the enemy army that has been prepared for a long time, it is difficult to forcibly seize the enemy camp, even if there are many masters in the team.

While they were struggling, a group of masters also poured out of the Frankish barracks and went directly to their rear.

Although the number is not as large as theirs, it is still a big threat to cooperate with the soldiers in the camp to besiege and kill them.

"Let's shoot together, don't be merciful!"

The words of Pius VII were obviously addressed to the Sacred Domain powerhouses in the ranks.

As the highest combat power of the Holy See, he is cultivating in normal times, and he will only make a move at a critical moment.

Five bursts of breath burst into the sky together, and just as they were about to start killing, they were locked by the enemy.

Such a result really scared Pius VII. Although the five Sanctuaries were not all of the Holy See, they were the largest mobile force he could mobilize at the moment.

As the number one power of the human race, if the Franks poured out of the nest and made up so many masters, he would still be able to accept it, but it was obviously impossible at the moment.

Although the anti-French alliance did not attack with all its might, it also contained a large amount of the Franks' strength, and it was impossible to put all the high-end forces into it.

There are only five Sacred Domains on their own side, and the enemy army actually jumps out of six Holy Domains, even if there is a gap in strength between the Holy Domains, the original plan cannot be used.

"Who are you, and why are you joining in the fun?"

Pius VII asked indifferently.

According to the pre-speculation, the Franks will send two or three Sanctuaries at most, and the masters of the seventh and eighth orders are also the advantage of the Holy See, and they will have an absolute advantage in tonight's attack.

Even if you can't kill the opponent's commander, you can still severely demoralize the enemy's morale. Gain enough time for reinforcements to arrive.

It's a pity that the plan didn't change quickly, and no one thought that the enemy camp had been prepared for a long time, and so many masters were deployed to wait for them here.

"Your Majesty, you are really a noble person. Back then, when you led people to hunt us down, everyone took a picture! ”

The voice of taunting sounded in his ears, and he suddenly awakened the memories of Pius VII, and then his expression changed drastically.

If it is only for the sake of profit, you can get together with the Franks, you can find a way to buy them over, or persuade them to be neutral.

Now there is no need to think about it, it was originally an enemy of the Holy See, and the purpose of people coming here is self-evident.

"Your Majesty, the three Sanctuaries on the left are all from the Pseudo-Frankish Empire; The three on the right are from the Five-Nation Alliance.

Talking back to you is Robert, who has served as the director of the Magic Academy and then the Arcane Academy in the Alpha Kingdom. A few years ago, the Alpha Kingdom also announced the death of this person, which should have been hidden.

The two behind him are also the heretics we want, born in the Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of the South Bank respectively, and have not appeared for more than ten years.

I thought they were all dead, but I never thought that these heretics would break through the Sanctuary and come to cause trouble for us! ”

Ulise's introduction left Pius VII speechless. How did the heretics who were hunted down by the Holy See not only did not die, but broke through the Sanctuary one by one?

In an instant, Pius VII figured out a lot. It is no wonder that as soon as the Alpha Kingdom issued a call, the Five Nations Alliance followed suit and established another Holy See, and behind the feelings, these heretics were still playing tricks.

Thankfully, Ulise didn't finish his sentence, and it would have been even more fun to tell the three Sanctuaries of the Pseudo-Frankish Empire who had sheltered the VII Pseudo-Frankish Empire that they were also wanted by them.

If this kind of famous scene spreads, the outside world will still think that it is easier to break through the holy realm if it is wanted by the Holy See.

In fact, there is indeed a certain connection between the two.

Compared with ordinary magicians, the probability of arcane masters comprehending the law is indeed higher; Compared with ordinary knights, knights who have experienced the test of life and death have a higher probability of comprehending the law.

In a sense, these people were able to accumulate and make breakthroughs, and the Holy See really made a contribution.

It's a pity that everyone doesn't appreciate it, and they are bent on going against the Holy See. Not only did he hate the Holy See, but he also taught a group of students who hated the Holy See.

Taking the Alpha Kingdom as an example, a large part of the reason for standing firmly on the opposite side of the Holy See is that the people in power have been exposed to the black history education of the Holy See since childhood.

"It's too late for a few of you to leave, we can act as if nothing happened, and we'll revoke your arrest.

When the reinforcements from the Holy Mountain arrive, it won't be so easy for you to leave! ”

Pius VII said admonishingly.

Strength determines status, and even if you are a heretic, it is not impossible to live in peace.

The once awesome Holy See is already in the past, and the current Holy See must think twice before doing things.

If you can reduce the number of enemies, you should minimize them. If you continue to cause trouble everywhere as before, you will be able to toss yourself to death sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, a few of us just came over today to watch the fun. According to the rules of the mainland, the Holy Land is not allowed to participate in secular warfare.

If you can live in peace, why fight and kill?

I don't think it would be better for everyone to enjoy this beautiful night view here and spend this unforgettable time together.

Of course, if the seniors on the holy mountain can come down to give us some guidance, it will also be a good choice! ”

Hearing Robert's answer, Pius VII's brow furrowed even tighter. His intuition told him that these people seemed to want the garrison on the holy mountain to leave.

In fact, as a religious organization, the Holy See is not completely devoid of contributions to humanity.

The Bright Sacred Mountain is not only a religious holy place, but also a prison, where many special alien evil gods are imprisoned.

Because these evil gods have a special background, they cannot be killed by conventional means, and can only be slowly ground to death with divine power.

After countless years of wear, these evil gods are almost dead, and the rest are dying.

However, the tradition of master guarding is still preserved. It's just that because the number of these evil gods is decreasing, the degree of attention is also decreasing.

In the past, the masters of the human race took turns to garrison, but now only the masters of the Holy See will leave one person to garrison, and the rest will flee overseas.

Nominally, he is guarding the evil gods, but in fact he is also guarding the Holy See. It's just that under the influence of heaven and earth, the strong people who stayed behind almost stopped shooting in order to reduce the speed of life loss.

Vaguely, Pius VII felt that it was a mistake to send the signal to shake people just now, and that there was still a conspiracy waiting for them in the enemy.

"I'm already here!"

"You little guys, you're having a lot of fun!"

The sound of the fluttering sound sounded in everyone's ears. A young man suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd.

Judging from his appearance alone, this person was younger than all the holy realms present, but the momentum on his body made everyone's hearts tremble.

Seeing the person clearly, Astous VII's face turned pale. It is clear that this old antique of the Holy See is very dissatisfied with him, the pope.

There is no point in justifying, they all let the enemy touch the foot of the holy mountain, no matter how you look at it, it is an unqualified performance.

Just as he was about to say something, black clouds suddenly rose above the holy mountain, obscuring the moonlight, and countless undead creatures emerged from the ground and launched an attack on the crowd.

For a while, the sound of shouting and killing resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the originally peaceful holy land suddenly became a purgatory on earth.

Even at the foot of the holy mountain, you can clearly feel the evil aura on the mountain.

The sudden change made the atmosphere on the field suddenly become solemn. It seems that if there is a disagreement, the most violent fighting will break out.

"Senior, the accident on the mountain has nothing to do with us.

According to the rules of the Terran Alliance, the Sanctuary is not allowed to participate in secular wars, we are just here to supervise! ”

It was an old man in Frank's team who replied.

It can be seen that although he is in awe of the young people in front of him, he is not afraid.

Obviously, the rules of the Terran Alliance are still binding on the strong.

The outside world only thinks that the Terran Alliance was established by the Terran countries, but in fact, it happened to be the strongest wave of people in the Terran Race who originally planned to form the Terran Alliance.

Although it has gone through countless years of inheritance, the founder of the year has already done the ancient, but the strong people of the human race who were born later have followed to fill the position.

These people are cultivating overseas, and they usually do not participate in mainland disputes, but they are also secretly supervising the operation of the Terran Alliance.

Otherwise, with the habit of the human race like infighting, the alliance would have been ruined by everyone in the countless accidents before.

"Humph!"

"Everyone has said that the Holy Domain is not allowed to participate in secular wars, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry back and stabilize the rear!"

The young man reprimanded sharply.

The rule that the Sanctuary is not allowed to engage in secular warfare is binding on both sides. The other party can use it, and they can naturally use it.

Instead of desperately fighting with these guys, it is better to go back to deal with the aftermath first, and leave this account behind today to settle it.

Pius VII, who reacted, glared at Robert and the others fiercely, and immediately ordered: "Withdraw!" ”

At this time, changes also took place on the Holy Mountain. Stimulated by the invasion of foreign enemies, the cardinals who remained behind immediately decided to activate the angelic summoning.

Countless men and women were pushed onto the altar, blood pouring from their wrists and pooling into pools of blood.

In the light of the Holy Light, a portal slowly opened. The sons and daughters of the Holy Sons, who had been prepared for a long time, walked to the front desk with a pious face and greeted the arrival of the angels.

The cardinal, who was presiding over the proceedings, took out the crystal ball that had been prepared a long time ago and distributed it to the sons and daughters.

The bloody aura emitted by the crystal ball destroyed the original sacred picture and attracted the angels on the other side of the portal.

Suddenly, an angelic soul threw himself in, picked a Son and possessed it, followed by the second and third...... The angel came with him.

Just when everyone thought they were done, a cup of liquid filled with evil aura poured into the pool of blood. The angels who originally came began to undergo great changes.

The white wings suddenly turned blood red. The original divine aura also suddenly became evil.

"Fallen Angel!"

The cardinal who presided over the ceremony exclaimed in horror.

If the angel is the messenger of the Lord of the Dawn, then the fallen angel is the walker of the abyss.

In addition to the skin color, the appearance of the two is exactly the same, and at a glance you can tell that they are derived from the same species.

It's just that angels represent auspiciousness, and fallen angels represent killing. From the very beginning of their birth, fallen angels have had an extreme hatred of the gods.

Recognizing the papal personnel at the scene of the Fallen Angels, they immediately realized that they were in big trouble.

The fall of angels in the process of coming is blasphemy!
