Chapter 43: The Devil's Pastime
The demon roared, and the fleshy wings behind him flapped violently, sending his body flying into the air in an instant, narrowly avoiding the ferocious onslaught of the paladins. However, he seemed to feel very ashamed that his invincible scythe had not succeeded in killing the enemy just now, and he roared to the sky, spewing out a stream of blue-white flames. The flames burst into the paladin's neat cavalry formation, burning the dozens of cavalry at the front into a sheet of charcoal, distorting platinum armor and burnt flesh bones scattered all over the ground.
This terrifying flame struck the three high-ranking priests who were charging with the team, and their bodies flashed with holy light, and they could barely resist the power of this high-temperature flame, and the remaining flames were still enough to ignite all the clothes and hair on their bodies. They screamed and rolled off the unicorns and rolled wildly on the ground.
The fall of the High Priest was like a chain reaction, causing dozens of paladins on the side to fall off their horses unsuspectingly, overwhelmed by the heavy armor they were wearing. These details, seen in the eyes of the devils, immediately made them understand the role of the priest.
"Brothers!"
The demon leader seemed to find the battle getting more and more interesting, his face full of excitement, he was the only one who still maintained his human appearance and stayed out of the battle.
"Let's play a game of hunting priests!"
He picked up the black spear dropped by a dead corpse from the ground, raised it high above his ear, glanced at it slightly, and threw it with a shaking hand. The black spear stabbed into the fragile body of a senior priest with a long scream, and he fell from the unicorn to the ground. The black spear was still in power, and it pinned him to the ground.
The demons let out a frantic cheer at their leader, and they followed his example, grabbing the spears, shields, stones, and even unicorn corpses scattered on the ground, and hurling them at the rushing cavalry. The screams rang out louder and louder, and the high-ranking priests who were mixed in with the Knights of Redemption were struck by the demons, some were nailed to the ground alive with spears, some were smashed into meat sauce by heavy platinum shields, some were hit in the head by flying stones, and some were hit by the corpse of the one-horned mount, and the ribs of their sternum shattered into powder, screaming heart-rending on the ground.
Without the blessing of the priest, the paladins were in complete chaos, their normally light armor became a heavy burden, their handy weapons became a burden they could not handle, and even the unicorns who had always been in control began to become unresponsive.
In the face of the demons who have been driving straight in, there is no longer any organized resistance.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
A demon slightly shorter than the others let out an eerie grin, grabbed a unicorn by its tail, dragged it to him, and then grabbed the golden horn on top of its head and pulled it upwards with force. With the unicorn's mournful wail, its noble and graceful golden horn was plucked alive by the demon.
The demon swept the blood-stained golden horn in his hand, smiled slightly, and took a few steps forward to a paladin who was struggling on the ground, grabbed his left leg, and lifted him upside down.
"No, please, spare your life. β
The paladin screamed in horror. The demon turned a deaf ear to his begging and threw him high into the air with a jerk of his hand. As the poor paladin began to flicker towards the ground, the demon suddenly waved his hand vigorously and threw the golden horn of the unicorn that he had been clenching tightly.
The Golden Horn let out a sharp sound of breaking wind, and the lightning that broke through the sky accurately struck the paladin's lower abdomen, and its powerful castration was not hindered by the piercing of its body, and it still flew forward at a rapid speed until it slammed into the high stone wall beside it.
In this way, the paladin was nailed alive to the stone wall by this golden horn, and his wails before dying were heart-rending and terrifying.
"Hurry up and get in touch with the Bishop's garrison, quick!" The hatchet paladin who was cowering in the depths of the queue was no longer on his horse, and he was in a lofty state, but he urged the soldiers in charge of communications to release the carrier pigeons in their hands in order to get in touch with the Holy See army in the rear.
"Where did these demons come from, and why didn't we get any information beforehand?" said the Hatchet Paladin, his face as white as wallpaper.
Suddenly, a loud scream came from outside the procession, and the whole queue became violently agitated, and the sounds of fear and prayers rained down.
"Report to the sir, the enemy γγγγ enemy is attacking the γγγ perimeter of the queue!" said a knight of redemption, staggering to the hatchet.
The Shortaxe Paladin and the Knight of Redemption glanced at each other, and hurriedly led the rest of the troops and ran towards the exit. Before they could reach the vicinity of the exit, there was a terrible howl like a curse of death.
The Paladin of the Hatchet crawled to the front of the queue and poked his head out to take a look. The sight in front of him made him unconscious almost immediately. The corpses of dozens of paladins were nailed to the towering stone wall with golden horns on the heads of their mounts, unicorns, in an extremely horrific shape.
"There are less than a thousand demons of this level in Purgatory, and there are actually seven of them dispatched at once, what are they going to do, are they preparing to invade this plane for the second time?"
Just thinking about it
"That's ,...... That's Jacob, oh my God!!!" cried a priest beside him. The crowd hurriedly looked up, only to find a young pastor's feet being held by a demon.
The demon lifted him up in the air, spun around a few times, and smashed him against the stone wall of the mountain. An earth-shattering roar followed, and Jacob's fragile body knocked a large hole in the solid stone wall, and his shattered body rolled several times in a row, and lay on the groundγγγγ
The soldiers, who were busy communicating with the headquarters in the middle, let out a shrill scream, and several female priests, unable to bear the pressure of great fear, screamed and overthrew the soldiers in the queue and fled towards the exit. A burst of fishy breath rushed towards him, as if he was frightened!!
"Seven carrier pigeons have been released, and there is still no reply, you must know that this is less than 4 kilometers away from the bishop's camp, and reinforcements should have arrived a long time ago!"
The Glastaraxe Paladin asked puzzled.
"Sir, look there!"
The Glastaraxe Paladin followed the direction of his men, and the three carrier pigeons that had just been released were hit by three blood-colored rays as thick as hair, and they instantly aged, and finally fell to the ground and turned into a pile of white bones, and then turned into ashes.
Everyone looked at the terrible blood-colored light, and saw a handsome man dressed in the costume of a human merchant riding on a tall horse, stretching out his index finger, leisurely emitting the last ray of light, and the horses under the seat were enjoying the scene in front of them with a gloomy and bloodthirsty expression of wisdom that by no means belonged to horses.
Perhaps sensing that there were many small human beings watching him, the man dressed as a human merchant turned to face the only remaining queue of the Holy See, with an extremely pure and harmless expression, and smiled elegantly: "I'm really sorry! But I can't help myself when I see the white dove that represents peace! I'm so sorry!"
After saying that, he turned around and continued to enjoy the wonderful dance performance of his subordinates.
"Commander, we can't hold on any longer, let's get out of here, even if we die in the war to exterminate the infidels than to stay here and be slaughtered by the demons. A paladin said with a crying voice.
"Damn the devil, I managed to become the leader of the paladin squadron......" The Hatchet Paladin was still unwilling. However, the Holy See troops stationed here had already lost their fighting spirit, and as soon as they heard the words of the redeeming knight just now, they didn't care about waiting for the order of the Shortaxe Paladin, and rushed towards the exit one after another.
"You guys are back!" Seeing the panicked appearance of his soldiers, the Shortaxe Paladin couldn't help but be furious.
"Sir, it's not an opponent at all, let's go quickly. A henchman pulled the paladin's arm and dragged him towards the exit.
"Want to escape?"
With a contemptuous and cruel smile, the demon leader waved his hand violently, holding a human toy beside him, and constantly slaughtering, six strong demons vibrated their wide flesh wings, and shot into the sky like arrows, rushing towards the retreating Holy See army.
Soon the wailing of unicorns and war horses sounded, and the golden-white fluff all over the ground fluttered, as if a golden-white rain had just fallen. One by one, the Papal soldiers who wanted to flee on unicorns and horses fell from their mounts and fell the blood-soaked ground, and fell into a bloody mess.
The first paladin to flee in a unicorn is stopped head-on by a ferocious and diminutive demon, torn to shreds. And the descendants and henchmen who protected the Hatchet Paladin and rushed to the rooftop were trampled on the ground one by one by the demons and turned into pulp.
While trampling, the demons smiled with virginity, as if they had returned to their childhood, as if these humans were their own childhood, squatting on the ground with their fingers one by one, pinching dead ants.
Perhaps in front of the demons, these humans are no different from ants, and now it is just that humans (ants) have temporarily and completely closed the entrance to their nest (rift in space-time).
This bloody massacre, or game, has been going on for nearly an hour so far, and in this brutal war, all 1,000 Holy See soldiers guarding the exit of the seal have been wiped out by six demons without much effort.
