Chapter III

A few days later, the news of the death of Pope Constantine IV spread throughout the world and caused another sensation. Under the strict control of information from the Vatican, the truth of the matter was not leaked, and it was only announced that the Pope died suddenly due to an acute heart attack caused by overwork.

The death of the young pope is widely regretted. Constantine was young, but after succeeding to the throne, he was regarded as the most likely to restore the former glory of the Holy See, and for a time the believers all over the world were overwhelmed with grief.

At the same time, the Vatican side is also in full swing for the selection of a new pope. Unlike the outside world, the participating bishops and archbishops are aware of the truth of the matter, so they are divided into the main war faction that inherits Konstantin's last wish and the main peace faction who want to no longer participate in the war with the inhumans, and the two sides quarrel endlessly.

However, no matter what the outcome is, the Holy See will no longer be able to pose a threat in the short term, and this is what Zhang Lie needs. After all, for the sake of peace in the future, they could not really destroy the Vatican, so Areberu agreed to let Konstantin bear the responsibility alone.

After forming an alliance with the Dragons, the Fourth Group did not immediately start dealing with the Alliance, but secretly prepared to ensure that nothing went wrong, and the Dragons also maintained a good relationship with the Elders on the surface. During this period, Zhang Lie returned to China several times, and everything was arranged by Jian Xian in an orderly manner, so he still stayed with Anne Blatter most of the time.

In this way, the whole world has a rare four-month period of calm. It wasn't until the beginning of another **** in China that this tranquility was broken.

**********************************************************************

During this four-month recuperation period, there were constant skirmishes between the various Chinese art schools and the demons of the Mongol Exterminators, but because both sides had scruples, they did not develop into a bigger ****.

However, both sides know that once one side is ready, a decisive battle between life and death will be inevitable. So during these four months the messengers of the various factions traveled back and forth in preparation for the abandonment of their prejudices once again and the formation of an alliance against the common great enemy; At the same time, the exterminating side of Mongolia has also stepped up its efforts to absorb monsters and continue to grow its power.

Finally, one day four months later, all the Chinese sects of art gathered together again, re-established the alliance of sects, and elected Song Tiandu, the head of the Kunlun faction, as the leader of the alliance, vowing to exterminate a group of monsters led by Meng and Meng.

Not to be outdone, in just four months, his men have gathered tens of thousands of monsters, and their strength should not be underestimated. And Annihilation also has its own difficulties, in addition to dealing with the threat of various external art sects, the demon clan is not calm inside, the fox demon clan has not yet surrendered, Zhang Lie and Ju Youshan are mixed together, they are not a small threat to him.

Zhang Lie's original plan also saw results at this time, with the big shield of destroying Meng, and now in the eyes of the various art sects, there is nothing else to put down except him, so Zhang Lie dares to stay abroad so reassuringly. If you don't solve the Human Sect for a day, you won't want to deal with him with all your might.

Therefore, Annihilation is also eager to resolve the threat of the magic sect through a decisive battle, so as to free up his hands to stabilize the demon clan. Everyone understands that since the battle of the Vatican, the **** has reached a critical moment, and everyone is buying time and planning for their goals.

It was against this backdrop that the decisive battle that both sides were looking forward to was coming soon.

The reason for the incident is simple, a team of sorcerers is attacked by a monster in the Mongolian wasteland, and both sides are at loggerheads, and both seek help from their own side. Subsequently, reinforcements continued to gather on this side, more and more, and when both sides were alert, they found that most of their combat strength had been gathered here.

So, naturally, both sides continued to increase their troops, and it seems that they have tacitly regarded this place as a battlefield for a decisive battle. And on the human side, in addition to the disciples of various art schools, a large number of troops have also been secretly appointed to come, and when the Vatican was purged after the battle of the Vatican, the military of various countries appeared, and this time was naturally no exception. You must know that if the forces of the Annihilation of Mongolia are allowed to expand, it is not only the Shushu faction represented by the civil forces that will suffer.

In the desolate Mongolian wilderness, the armies of humans and demons are facing each other, and this is also the largest conflict between the two sides in hundreds of years.

Heath Center.

The billowing sand and dust obscured the sky and the sun, and a large number of fierce demon soldiers lined up, looking at the human army opposite, each monster's face was full of bloodthirsty excitement. The snake spirit was naked, walking back and forth in front of a group of demon soldiers, and couldn't help but say something loudly. At his instigation, the group of demon soldiers continued to let out a strange scream that shook the sky.

In the center of the demon group, at the top of a towering and heavily weathered stone pillar, Zhan Meng sat cross-legged, holding his chin in one hand and quietly looking at the human army opposite. Despite the emotions of the surrounding demons, Annihilation was still the signature absent-minded appearance, which seemed out of place with the surrounding atmosphere, but there was a wonderful harmony. It seems that no matter what happens outside, it will not affect him in the slightest.

And on the human side, there are also many people who are looking at the other side. Although Zhuo Lingyu is the head of Emei, at this time, he is also like an ordinary soldier, mixed in a group of sorcerers, only Ying Feixuan follows him every step of the way, protecting the senior brother entrusted by him before he dies.

"That guy is the famous Extinction?" At this time, Tianyue and Gu Shi squeezed over.

Zhuo Lingyu nodded, Tianyue said with some disdain: "It turns out that he is so virtuous, and he looks like he owes money for eight lifetimes, is this guy so powerful?" ”

Thinking of the appearance of Zhan Meng facing the siege of seven or eight top-level monsters outside the Floating Sky City that night, Zhuo Lingyu couldn't help but feel palpitations. He smiled bitterly: "Don't be deceived by his appearance, Zhang Lie is powerful enough, he is not his opponent at all." Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand how strong he really is. ”

Gu Shi also said: "People can't look good, just look at the fact that Meng Neng can regather the demon clan on the verge of collapse in a short period of time, and form such a big threat to us, he is by no means a simple character." ”

Tianyue said stiffly: "Who underestimated him, I'm just talking." ”

Then he said excitedly: "Good girl, I have never seen so many monsters in my life, I'm afraid that the remaining monsters from all over China are here." It's worth dying to experience such a big scene. ”

Zhuo Lingyu immediately spitted: "Bah, baba, less crow's mouth, what can't die, so many of us still don't step on them?" Don't worry, we will win in the end. Right, Senior Brother Gushi? ”

Gu Shi shook his head, and just said, "I'm afraid it may not be..."

"Look, that guy is standing up." Everyone exclaimed.

Gu Shi and the others were immediately attracted to the past, and they saw that on the top of the rock opposite, Zhan Meng slowly climbed up. Holding his hand on the pergola and looking at it for a moment, his right hand slowly raised.

Suddenly, everyone's hearts slowly lifted with his move. Although there was no drastic movement in the annihilation, everyone couldn't help but get nervous, and the human side, which was originally quite calm, was filled with a restless aura just because of the action of exterminating the meng, just like boiling water.

Some young surgeons couldn't stand the pressure, and even gasped violently, and for a while there was a snoring sound everywhere, which undoubtedly added to the oppressive atmosphere.

Although Tianyue was still able to stay calm, it was inevitable that it would be affected, and even Gu Shi, who was old and steady, couldn't help but pull out the Nanming Lihuo Sword, his palms were full of sweat.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, the hand that was raised to the highest point was finally waved heavily!

"Roar!" All the youkai let out a loud roar in unison, and it came like a black tide.

When it really came time to start fighting, people calmed down. According to the prior arrangement, everyone was in place in an instant, and after the specially modified tank, the mortar fired first, and a large number of runic shells flew into the air, accurately bursting fireballs in the demon group, and many monsters were directly shattered.

The warriors and sorcerers who were standing in the front row with runic guns also opened fire, and countless muzzles spread out a barrage of death, and the monsters that rushed to the front immediately turned into a hornet's nest and rolled to the ground in various distorted postures, and the deafening gunfire overshadowed the roar of the demons.

In the end, it is the spells of the various sorcerers. Knowing that this battle was extremely crucial, all factions did not spare their hands, and all of them used the most powerful spells, and for a while, the fireball lightsaber covered the sky and the sun, and fell into the enemy formation like rain.

The war between humans and demons has never used a large number of modern weapons like this time, and its effect is undoubted, many monsters were smashed in a rain of bullets without even touching the enemy's edge.

However, after all, there are a large number of youkai, and the distance between the two sides is very short, after the initial slaughter, a large number of youkai have rushed to the front. At the front of the line was the snake, covered in bullet holes, drenched in blood, and his face full of killing excitement, looking extremely hideous.

Rushing closer, the snake stopped slightly and stretched out his right arm, and the huge python spirit came out of his body, like a cyan flood straight into the crowd.

The first few soldiers watched as the python spirit's huge mouth gradually filled their field of vision, and they were swallowed before they could even scream. With a stretch of the head and neck, the python spirit swallowed people like a belly, followed by the flexible left and right swings of the body, and several people were swallowed into the abdomen with each swing.

The Python Spirit's infiltration immediately caused great chaos on the front line, and everyone was busy dodging its huge mouth, and the barrage immediately thinned out. Ba Snake couldn't help laughing wildly: "Hahahaha, baby, give Lao Tzu to eat as much as you want!" ”

The demons shouted wildly and rushed past the snake, and the two sides finally confronted each other, like two tides colliding together, and immediately erupted into a shocking blood wave. The clash of flesh and muffled snorts continued to sound, and there were constantly sorcerers and monsters dying at each other's hands, and the two torrents were like two wedges nailed together, and neither of them would take a step back.

After all, the individual qualities of the youkai are superior, and under their desperate onslaught, the human defense line continues to crumble. The leaders of the various factions shouted desperately, demanding that everyone could not take a step back even if they died, and once the demons were completely broken into the formation, with their terrifying combat power, everything would get out of control.

To wage war with youkai, especially with so many yokai, it is simply impossible to use modern warfare methods such as trenches, skirmishers, fortresses, etc., as humans and humans do. Because the single combat ability of the youkai is too strong, no matter what trench fortress, they can easily cross and break through directly.

Therefore, the only way to fight with them is to fight hard, fight directly like in the era of cold weapons, and compete with anyone whose skills are higher and stronger! More persistent! Be more patient!

There was a dull explosion from underground, and the youkai who tried to attack from the ground were killed by the barrier that had been laid beforehand. In front of the battle, the demons and people were still fighting to the death, and the spells and demons of both sides were thrown at each other, and the colorful explosive fireballs were like festive flowers.

Both sides were red-eyed, and the number of people kept piling up in a small area. Dozens of tanks rumbled forward, and with each shelling, more than a dozen monsters splashed their flesh and bones, but they didn't even bother to split up the formation. Once stimulated by blood, these youkai completely return to their animal nature, and their entire body and mind are occupied by the desire to kill, and although they die in vain, they are also more difficult to deal with.

Just when mankind was about to lose its hold, a huge buzzing roar suddenly came from mid-air, and dozens of military helicopters jumped out of the horizon and quickly flew towards the battlefield. The group whizzed almost right above the heads of the warring parties, and as it passed over the youkai, all the helicopters' on-board machine guns opened fire.

Bang bang bang ... The terrifying and dull sound of ejection brought a storm of death, and each of these huge runic bullets resembled a small cannonball, and the dense fire barely had any gaps. In an instant, it was like countless sharp blades bursting into the formation, the monsters roared, torn apart by bullets, and a large blood mist rose into the air, staining the desert red.

This is the power of modern civilization, human beings do not live as long as youkai, their strength is great, and their speed is fast, but the creativity of human beings that is incomparable to that of youkai is enough to make a machine that is beyond the reach of youkai. In the face of these sophisticated and terrifying killing machines, any murderous youkai is just a pitiful creature that has no power to fight back.

The sudden appearance of the combat helicopter immediately caused a deep panic among the demons, such a neat slaughter was really terrible, even the monsters whose minds were blinded by blood also scattered and fled under the instinctive trend, and the pressure on the human front was immediately much lighter.

The helicopter swarm continued to hover and fly in mid-air, spitting deadly tongues of fire, and the human army below took the opportunity to stabilize their position, which in turn put great pressure on the demons.

The snake roared wildly, manipulating the python spirit to continue to wreak havoc, stirring up the surrounding area. However, personal bravery can no longer save the situation, and the demon soldiers are on the verge of collapse little by little.
