Chapter 5
This heavy battle also affected Rome. Although it was devastated by the inhuman race a year ago, the greatest characteristic of humanity is the amazing resilience of the wound, and the city of Rome is as prosperous as ever.
The sound of a rumbling explosion was faintly heard, and the sky flashed with bursts of fire, and the people who felt the anomaly in that direction stopped what they were doing and looked over, and the streets were full of people looking at each other with strange expressions.
Of course, they can't see anything, and one of the most striking features of modern cities is that there are so many bizarre things that can distract people. After a period of observance, people turned to their own business, and only curious television reporters tried to find out, but were stopped by the police when they left the city, and they found that all roads leading in that direction outside the city had been cut off.
The Vatican is still shrouded in darkness, tranquility and tranquility, the scars of the war a year ago have been completely erased, and this holy place of the Western Holy See once again shows its solemnity and grandeur to the world.
However, due to the ambush of the corpse fighting troops, the Vatican's defenses tonight are weaker than ever. Almost all of the remaining papal guards had arrived there, and there were only a symbolic number of nearly a hundred guards left, and the barrier that had been destroyed in the last war had only recovered two percent, leaving it almost defenseless.
However, the Holy See naturally did not worry about being attacked, all the non-human troops were trembling under the wings of the wyvern at the moment, where could they still come here? However, the Holy See seems to have forgotten that there is a saying in the far East that is enshrined as a wise saying: the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows.
In the quiet of the night, the sewer manhole covers in the left block of the Vatican were suddenly opened at the same time, and groups of humanoid objects with slender limbs silently fished out.
They were smooth, with a disgusting white glow of rotten flesh on the surface of their bodies, and bulging pus-spots. The creatures' limbs are all bent at odd angles, and their fingers are soft tentacles, which appear to be able to easily cling to the surface of walls.
In an instant, thousands of these monsters had all crawled to the ground, quickly and silently moving towards the Vatican. Aren't these the kind of monsters that Zhang Lie had seen when he went with Blatter to meet Parid? Why is it here? Could it be that they are another wonder soldier of the Alliance?
The doubts were soon revealed, and there were dozens of well-dressed people in this group of monsters who acted together, and it seemed to be their leader. If you look closely, these people are all vampires, and one of them is none other than Elder Maloney, a close confidant of Parid.
Sneaking under the Vatican's outer walls, a vampire approached Maloney: "Elder, it's all ready. ”
Maloney nodded: "The target is those two Pandora's Box parts in the Pope's Hall, and they will be solved quickly." Leave as soon as you succeed, and there must be no entanglement, you know? ”
In response, the vampire stepped back. Soon all the monsters climbed the wall and invaded the Vatican in dense form. After waiting for a while, the vampire also acted at the same time.
Inside the Vatican, a five-man patrol ended its night patrol, and everyone yawned and walked towards the handover site, everyone just wanted to go back to the barracks and get a good night's sleep.
Suddenly, a papal guard sniffled in confusion: "What does this smell like?" ”
Others chimed in: "yes, is the sewer leaking?" Why does it stink so much. ”
The leading priest was a little dissatisfied, it was still their duty time, which meant that they had to go and find out, and it seemed that they would not be able to sleep tonight. Waving his hand helplessly, he said to his subordinates: "Let's go, go check..."
At that moment, the priest's gaze swept over the fence in the distance, and then he was stunned and said, "Oh my God, what is that..."
Following his gaze, he saw that countless densely packed humanoid objects were slowly crawling towards the ground on the beautifully decorated high wall, and the strong stench was wafting from there.
After a pause, all the papal guards screamed at the same time: "Non-human invasion!" ”
Hearing the shout, all the monsters suddenly accelerated, like thousands of sharp arrows rushing straight towards them. They moved lightly across the surface of the building, jumping back and forth, rushing towards the interior of the Vatican.
The barrier opened automatically, and in an instant, countless lights burst from everywhere, and monsters were constantly knocked to the ground. However, there were too few remaining enchantments to stop the advance of these monsters.
Constantine IV woke up from his slumber violently, and a priest had pushed open the door and rushed in: "Your Majesty, the non-human invasion has now been forced near the Pope's Hall. ”
"What!?" Konstantin jumped to his feet: "How is this possible? How many people did they come? ”
The priest said in amazement, "I don't know, our defense is too weak to stop it." ”
At this time, Ralph "The Magic Hand" also walked into Constantine's bedroom. Seeing him, Konstantin immediately asked, "Ralph, what's going on outside?" ”
Ralph saluted him, and then said, "I don't know, the other party came very suddenly, and by the time we found out, they had already forced into the Vatican Center, and the number could be thousands." ”
"What?" Konstantin was taken aback: "Didn't Ross stop the troops of the Inhuman Alliance?" ”
Ralph shook his head and said, "No, they have stepped into a trap, and our war dragons are destroying them. ”
Konstantin was furious: "Then where did those things outside come from?" Could it be that the Inhuman Alliance still has a strength that we don't know about? ”
Ralph said calmly: "This subordinate can't answer, the top priority is that you must evacuate immediately, the other party is too numerous to resist." ”
"Bastard, this is the Vatican, are you going to let me let the Pope escape?" Konstantin walked up to Ralph in a rage: "Call the dragons back immediately and destroy them here, just like last time!" ”
Ralph said in a deep voice, "With all due respect, it's too late now, we have to leave right away." ”
At this moment, a priest stumbled and rushed over: "Your Majesty, those monsters have broken through our defenses and entered the Pope's Hall, please leave immediately, otherwise..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a dark shadow suddenly sprang up from behind and knocked the priest to the ground, followed by a scalp-tingling sucking and gnawing sound.
With a snort, Ralph stepped up and raised his hand to grab at the monster, and with a squeaky scream, the monster sprang up, and its head was pinched by something and squeezed inward.
As soon as Ralph's fingers tightened, he heard a muffled bang, and the monster's head burst violently, and a large pool of fishy thick liquid splashed out. This is exactly why Ralph is known as the "Magic Hand", and within the range of his hands' capabilities, attacks can come from anywhere and are simply impossible to resist.
Solving the monster, Ralph once again said to Constantine, "Your Majesty, please leave immediately." ”
Konstantin was furious, he thought he had figured out everything about the Inhuman Alliance, but he was attacked at the most unlikely time. He's the kind of guy who likes to stay on top of the big picture and play with his opponents, and he always does. But just now, Konstantin's superiority and calmness were completely defeated, and at this moment he realized that he, the spokesman of God, could not be as omnipotent as God.
For people who have always been on the top, such a feeling is definitely uncomfortable, so Konstantin, who has always been able to calmly analyze the situation, made an extremely bad decision.
Instead of fleeing, he walked towards the papal hall. Ralph was taken aback: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ”
Konstantin said coldly: "Go back, no matter what this group of monsters are going to do, stop them." With you and me, we will definitely be able to hold on until the war dragon returns. ”
Ralph hurriedly grabbed him: "There are too many enemies to attack, we will definitely not be able to resist, for your safety, please leave with your subordinates immediately." ”
Where would Konstantin, who had lost his mind, listen, and he exclaimed: "Ralph, don't you listen to my orders?" ”
Shocked, Ralph quickly let go: "Of course not, His Majesty the Pope, but..."
However, Konstantin had already strode towards the papal hall, and Ralph had no choice but to follow. As we approached the Pope's Hall, the stench of the humanoid monsters grew heavier and heavier, mixed with a thick smell of blood.
When they came to the entrance of the Papal Hall, they were greeted by a hellish scene. The whole hall was splattered with blood, all the papal guards were killed, hundreds of monsters crawled back and forth in the hall, and many held the corpses and gnawed, and the moment Konstantin and Ralph appeared at the entrance of the hall, all the monsters turned their heads to look.
Glared at by hundreds of ill-intentioned eyes, Konstantin chuckled in his heart, and a chill uncontrollably welled up in his heart, as if it was only then that he realized what a stupid decision he had made.
Slowly, all the monsters moved, and they moved their limbs in slow motion to crawl towards the entrance of the hall, gradually getting faster and faster, faster and faster. Suddenly, all the monsters jumped high in unison, and instantly accelerated to the extreme, like a rolling black shadow rushing straight towards them.
Awakened by a start, Konstantin cursed: "These devils..." have begun to prepare to attack.
Ralph, however, knew that the situation was so dangerous that he could not care about anything else, so he rushed forward and grabbed Constantine by the shoulders and pulled him behind him, shouting, "Your Majesty, I beg you to leave at once!" ”
"You—" Konstantin was about to reprimand, but before he could say anything, he heard a loud bang, and more than a dozen monsters had smashed through the delicate stained glass windows of the hall and rushed out.
With a muffled snort, Ralph struck dozens of times in front of him with both hands, and all the monsters crashed back in the air before they could land. He advised again: "Your Majesty, please leave immediately, nothing must happen to you, and one day we will completely wipe out these non-humans." ”
Just at this moment several surviving papal guards ran towards this side, and Ralph immediately shouted: "Protect His Majesty the Pope at once!" ”
The dense monster had rushed to the door, and Ralph shouted to meet him, and at the same time heard a loud bang, and the beautiful papal hall collapsed in a huge earthquake, countless masonry and statues fell down, large puffs of smoke and dust rose up, and the entrance was completely sealed.
Knowing that nothing could be done, Konstantin fled in a hurry under the escort of the papal guards, leaving only his endless remorse and almost destroyed dignity.
The Holy Vatican, for the second time at the hands of non-humans!
