Chapter 292: Consumption
In less than half a day, everything was calm in St. Retton.
The clouds ceased to converge, and the black lightning and thunder faded away, and the reverberated of space ceased as all the demons receded.
The sun shone again on the land, radiating a brilliant brilliance, and the sea no longer howled in the wind.
The only difference is that this majestic city, which once gathered millions of soldiers and civilians, was completely razed to the ground.
All living beings were devoured, and even their blood was licked and devoured.
In addition to the decay, traces related to human beings have been almost completely erased from this land.
It's as if what happened here today was just a terrible nightmare.
Just a few days ago, Mark unexpectedly welcomed a couple of old friends: Dean Margaret, Big Fat Kitty, and his cheap grandpa.
"You ......," Mark was a little stunned.
"What? Not welcome? Then I had to become a pile of cat feces sadly. "Big fat cat's acting skills exploded.
"Nothing, of course welcome. You can stay with me until the end of the war. Mark was not only with the big fat cat, but also with the old dean and her disciples who had taken care of him.
It's just that for his grandfather, Mark is a little tangled.
"Grandpa, you ......"
"Don't worry, I'm not here to put pressure on you. It's just that the twin goddesses have been ordered to 'help' you. Old Man blinked a little mischievously.
Loyalty comes at a price.
Although in the realm of the god stick, 'loyalty is not absolute, it is disloyal', but since it is the order of the goddess, Lao De has no psychological burden at all.
It's just that when he thinks that one day, maybe the twin goddesses will call him "grandpa", Lao De probably wakes up laughing from his dreams.
What kind of counterattack is this?
No!
What a blasphemy!
However, if the Twin Goddesses were 'willing', he would not have been reluctant to accept this ceremony.
In this troubled era, Lao De's desire for the continuation of the family surpassed his devotion to the twin goddesses for the first time.
"O great light! I'm guilty! Lao De repented so much, and at the same time opened his heart.
In the past, I didn't guarantee that the goddess of light, a bright holy light, would come down and kill this old thing.
In fact, the goddess should have heard his heart, or that she had been paying attention to Lao De's soul.
It's a pity that all the dissatisfaction finally turned into a toothache-like humming, and it echoed in Lao De's ears ethereally, and it was over.
After Lao De repented, he stabbed this to his good grandson.
Mark touched his chin and didn't speak.
In his heart, he felt that the goddess of light should write a [grid] character on her left leg and a [bureau] character on her right leg.
What are the benefits of such a dead support method, in addition to dragging down the little brother?
Well, that's the law of this world: the more advanced the deity, the more difficult it is.
Just like Anna, the goddess of ice and snow, no matter how arrogant she was at the beginning, even if her divine power fell to the bottom, she had to put on a pomp and circumstance of an omnipotent top god.
If she doesn't toss until the last bit of her family is gone, how can she be convinced?
Finished tossing?
Do you look at the double ponytail maid lying on the desk in a gothic loli suit?
She scolded and scolded every day and was dragged into two ponytails to accept the sanctions of 40mm caliber field guns.
Mark is really not in a hurry.
The point is, he still hasn't guessed what the most critical 'Mark' wants to do. The other Mark, just left in Mark's heart a longing for the twin goddesses.
The following September was quite chaotic.
When the cult destroyed the city of St. Laidon, the momentum of the attack and attack made those cultists lurking in the city go crazy.
This was the case with the fifth largest city in the Rite Empire, the city of Antonio.
It has been more than half a year since the first impact of the demon group to the closure of Antonio City, which does not allow anyone to enter or leave.
From the very beginning, when everyone heard that no one was spared from the attack, they shouted on the spot, but now they have become numb.
The twin goddesses withdrew their elite Extraordinary Knights, and the Great Sect of Reincarnation and other great sects did not increase their troops here, relying only on the local defenders and the extraordinary people recruited from the people, it was barely enough to resist the impact of small-scale demons below a thousand, if it really exceeded 10,000, then don't even think about it.
Everyone is in a state of precariousness, but due to the evil spirits roaming in the wild, even if they are looking for food, they have to risk their lives, let alone farm with peace of mind.
Without outside supplies, the city's resources began to grow strained.
This city, which originally had a permanent population of only 200,000 people, was once crowded into a million people, and the difference in situation can be imagined.
In order to reduce the consumption, the lord was very sensible and very cruel to order groups of almost unarmed civilians to go out of the city, especially the old and weak women and children, who were regarded as burdens, and called them the "evil army" to recover the land that had been conquered by the demons.
In fact, that's the price!
The first five times, the lord succeeded.
However, on the sixth occasion, when he had his cold-blooded private army drive the civilians who were dying of starvation ten kilometers from the city, he was shocked to find that the 'evil army' had returned.
In the form of a demon.
Their skin is now a strange grayish-black color due to lack of nutrients, some of the maggot wounds are now large pustules, and some of the humans who were once private soldiers now have a brain-opening (physical) and a crooked horn......
They are no longer weak civilians who are oppressed by others, but organized and disciplined cultists!
"Oooo
"Praise [jealousy]!"
"In the name of [Wrath]!"
Not one, not a thousand, but millions of people in the entire province, almost all the victims collected in the villages that were attacked, became like this.
They were driven and filled the moat with their flesh, filling the 20-meter difference from the ground to the city walls, and then submerging the entire city.
When the time came to the end of September, hundreds of millions of evil god believers began to attack the St. Lyrt's defense circle where the Great Holy Church of the Twin Churches was located, regardless of losses.
In order to keep the capital and the property of the dukes, the royal family of St. Rite gave the dukes a lot of materials and human resources to defend their castles.
High Emotional Intelligence: Containment.
Low EQ: Send to death.
If you don't go, you will be regarded as giving up your territory. The nobles and elders greeted the emperor's family and left their heirs in the imperial capital.
But as soon as the fight started, many nobles regretted it.
"Damn! Guns don't work! ”
Either using bullets blessed with extraordinary power, forcibly destroying physical weapons with large-caliber hand-cranked machine guns, or large-caliber artillery, long-range strikes are of very limited use to these cultists.
In fact, the defense line near the Great Chapel of the Twin Goddesses is relatively solid. The knights of the major regions take turns to deal with the enemy's wheel warfare.
