Chapter 254: Siege
The Purification Cross flew into the air, hovered for a moment, and then fell like rain.
Descend on the earth with splendor, sacredness, and murder.
The small short sword of the cross, the power of the fall was like a cannonball, and when it landed, it exploded into a large black and red color in the black wave.
A pit appears in the ground, and all the red-eyed rats in the area of the pit have turned into minced meat.
Bones are mixed in flesh and blood.
There was a cheer on the city walls.
A large number of militiamen knelt down on one knee towards Xia Yanzhen and bowed their heads.
The knights also saluted, looking at the sacred back, revering from the bottom of their hearts.
This is the sanctifying priest of the Church!
He represents the greatness of the Church!
The Book of Divine Purification in Xia Yanzhen's hand emitted a soft light, enveloping him in it.
His countenance became obscure because of the light.
The black clothes also became sacred in the halo.
Even if ordinary people see it, they will have the heart of worship.
Not to mention in such a situation.
Under the halo, Xia Yanzhen, who looked like a god, frowned.
He saw the Purification Cross fall, and the void created was quickly refilled by rats.
The rats were even biting the pages of the book, looking like they were not afraid of death.
As soon as the book in his hand moved, the purification cross dagger that fell to the ground moved, pressed against the ground, formed a torrent of light, and began to sweep away the rat swarm.
The scene is like using a high-pressure water cannon to wash the sludge off the ground.
Successfully flushing out an area is quickly refilled with sewage, requiring constant flushing.
Xia Yanzhen controlled the Purification Cross and shuttled through the rat colony.
An area was broken and filled in by rats, and it was broken and filled in.
In the back, the power of the purification cross was exhausted, and in the slightly formed Kuroshio void, the remains of the rats were also black and red, and there was no difference between them and the rats.
All the pages fly back to the Book of Divine Purification.
The rat influx outside the city has not decreased much, or rather, it has actually decreased a lot.
But compared to supplementation, this reduction is stretched.
It's reminiscent of a crazy pool manager who fills water while draining the water.
With less rows and more injections, the pool can be refilled in just a minute or two, and then overflow.
That's it for now.
The excited expressions on the faces of the militiamen faded away.
Isn't the crown of the priest able to solve this terrifying black tide of rats?
Xia Yanzhen turned to the page that pierced the cross, and gently pressed it forward and flicked it forward.
Hundreds of crosses emerge from the underground outside the city, creating a visually stunning look.
The real effect is quite average.
For the tiny rats, piercing the cross is more about squeezing them apart than killing them.
The piercing cross also quickly disappeared.
Xia Yanzhen continued to flip, and the "spell" in the next page was not suitable for use in this scene.
This spell comes from the Necronomicon section.
Without a specific name, after asking Yin Fu to describe those strange but weird words that anyone (except Xia Yanzhen) could understand, Xia Yanzhen named it "Extreme One for One".
It takes "one" soul to be consumed, and then the opponent's soul is withdrawn - one is one.
If there is no soul to consume, if you use it forcibly, it will consume the user's soul.
Although Xia Yanzhen is not afraid of consumption, this "consumption" is real consumption, not a side effect or cost.
Without this consumption, this necromancy spell cannot be used.
Xia Yanzhen tore off the pages of the book and threw them out, and it would only fly back.
There are also several necromantic spells that are like this, and they need to be consumed on a soul-based basis, otherwise they cannot be used.
It's very Necronomicon.
Xia Yanzhen will not withdraw people's souls.
I haven't used this book to smash people yet.
I don't know if the Book of Divine Purification will automatically extract the soul and store it in the book after stoning someone to death.
Necromantic spells cannot be used.
There are relatively few spells in the divine system, except for the Purification Cross, the Piercing Cross, and the Wings of Light, there is also the last one, the Purifying Light.
That is what Father Rhodes used on Xia Yanzhen at the beginning.
The kind that can turn people into idiots.
Doesn't do much to mice.
Xia Yanzhen closed the Book of Divine Purification, and in the face of the Kuroshio, its value had already been exerted.
The light curtain of the Holy City hung down, forming an impassable moat to block the Black Tide.
Although the rats were numerous, they did not affect the holy city.
However, while blocking the black tide, it also blocked those who came to the holy city for help.
The rat swarm was literally like a tidal wave, rushing into the holy city one by one.
And the holy city is as stable as Mount Tai and stands tall.
Sturdy and brutal – the former for the Rats Kuroshio, the latter for those who survived.
Xia Yanzhen descended the city wall, and walking in the clean streets of the holy city, he could see a large number of panicked people standing in front of his house and on the streets.
Talking to the people around you.
Seeing Xia Yanzhen, who was hanging on a cross and holding a "Bible", who was closer to God than all the priests, walked by, his heart suddenly settled a lot.
The priest is very determined.
Some people plucked up the courage to come up and ask how it was.
Xia Yanzhen replied, "So far, everything is safe", which can be regarded as stabilizing people's hearts.
Of course, the response of the church was not slow, and soon someone came out and began to reassure people.
It doesn't matter if it's chaotic outside, but it can't be chaotic inside the Holy City.
When Xia Yanzhen came to the inner city, the atmosphere here was less panic in the outer city and more solemn.
There are quite a few people walking on the streets, but no one is chatting.
Everyone was in a hurry, and it was clear that they all had a clear destination.
This feeling is even more pronounced after getting closer to the cathedral, and quite a few of the clergy are trotting.
Whether there is something to do or not, in this environment, it can't give people a laid-back feeling.
Be resolute.
The kind that walks with the wind.
Seeing it, but couldn't call the name of the clergyman A, saw Xia Yanzhen, he immediately trotted over: "Your Majesty the Priest, Your Majesty Cardinal Huo Lun is waiting for you." ”
At the headquarters of the Church, priests are not eligible to be addressed as crowned.
At most, it's a private call.
Only Xia Yanzhen, the sanctified priest, is an exception.
"Lead the way." Xia Yanzhen said.
The inside of the cathedral is like a labyrinth, and it is difficult to get acquainted with the roads inside without a year or two.
Xia Yanzhen was just a passerby, so naturally there was no need to be familiar with the road.
Even if he turns his face, he won't sneak around the church, just kill or kill all the way.
After all, it's a medieval building, how strong can it be?
As for reinforcing with extraordinary strength—this has nothing to do with Xia Yanzhen at all.
Then came a new room, a long oval table.
Huo Lun sat on the main seat, the blood-armored knights sat on both sides, and there were some people that Xia Yanzhen didn't know, and they looked like black crows.
"Father Anderson, you're here."
Seeing Xia Yanzhen coming, Huo Lun said hello and said, "How is the situation outside?" ”
Xia Yanzhen flew to the outer city wall, and it was impossible for Huo Lun not to know.
"It's stable." Xia Yanzhen said that it was a light curtain.
If the situation remains unchanged, even if those rats are given a hundred years, they may not be able to break the light curtain.
At present, Xia Yanzhen has seen such a situation.
"Hmm." Hollen nodded.
He actually knows the situation outside, so he just asks and uses it as an opening statement.
"You'll lead the team later, go out and clean up the rats and the infected." Holren gave the order directly.
"Do infected people need to be cleaned up too?" Someone asked.
Survivors outside the Holy City, without exception, are infected.
"Yes, if left unchecked, they will become dead." Hollen said.
The number of survivors, a little too much.
It's almost certain that someone is behind it.
It's just that the church can't find this person yet.
Mary, Jones, and William are absolutely in control, and it can't be that they are the ones who make the hell.
The rest of the Daemon family's bloodline has been slaughtered by the church.
There shouldn't be anything missing.
Therefore, the cardinals do not know what exactly caused the current siege of the Kuroshio.
But they didn't panic at all.
With the supplies and strength of the Holy City, it will not be a problem to support it for several months under the Kuroshio.
If anything changed - they got back the Bloodsuit Knight the other day.
The burial mechanism, along with the Knights, can also handle all contingencies.
The most important thing is that there are still a few days before His Majesty the Pope can master that power.
At that time, the danger will be automatically lifted, and everything outside the city will return to the church.
In the face of absolute strength, all kinds of intrigues and tricks have no effect.
The church represents absolute strength.
Huo Lun and others can sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.
Of course, for the sake of safety, they still decided to send high-end combat forces out to clean up the infected outside.
The number of infected people has increased, and the destructive power of turning into dead bodies is not comparable to that of the same number of rats.
The power of light is much greater.
The knights annoy rats, but not dead bodies, because the number of the two is too different.
In the same number, rats are definitely less of a threat.
You can't let the dead body accumulate more and more, and if you want to become a dead infected, you need to clean it up to some extent.
"Can't you put it in?" Someone asked.
"There are not enough anti-death drugs." Hollen said.
Here are all the top of the church, their own people, and their speeches can be casual and truthful.
"I mean, let it in and ......," continued Sean, the blood-armored knight who had just spoken, making a gesture to wipe his neck.
The current meaning is to let it in and kill it again.
In the city, the risk they face is much lower.
"The impact is not good." Holren waved his hand.
There are still many devout people living in the outer city.
So many people came in, disappeared, and then smoke rose somewhere, do you want the church to save face?
Not to mention believers, even some clergy and slaves will have bad thoughts.
The blood-armored knight stopped talking and looked at Xia Yanzhen.
"Father Anderson, remember to give them the armor." Horren understood what Sean meant.
"Oh." Xia Yanzhen nodded.
There are still three days left, so you must keep the armor in your hands if you are not in a hurry.
Even if these people died outside and lost their armor, Xia Yanzhen would have the time and ability to get it back.
"I just consumed the power of the Book of Divine Purification, so I won't participate." Xia Yanzhen said.
Hollen nodded.
After the Holy Book of Purification has several large range of abilities used up.
The Sanctified Priest is nothing more than faster, stronger, more lethal, and more handsome than the Blood-Armored Knight.
Well...... The gap is not small, but it is not enough to produce a qualitative change in the current situation.
Anyway, it's just a matter of clearing up the possibility of accidents.
Don't use an elephant to crack a nut.
Didn't Lancelot make a shot either?
To be honest, if such a serious incident as the fall of the Holy City is really discovered.
Huo Lun and the others' first reaction was definitely not to send Xia Yanzhen to "rescue", but to let him protect His Majesty the Pope.
"The Sword Comes"
If the Pope is safe, all problems are not a problem.
