Chapter 455: In progress

"So these are humans?"

Jason said as he looked at the human corpse lying at his feet, half of his body frozen in crystals.

What a blasphemous scene it is.

The corpses of various humans or subhumans were mutilated, skinned, and slaughtered. The corpse was hung above a small pool of blood.

It smells of blood, as well as a disgusting stench.

It wasn't the demons who caused this tragedy, but the same kind of victims.

Looking at this scene, Jason kicked the corpse at his feet with great discomfort.

"A large number of demons that were able to appear inside the city walls were summoned by these damned cultists through rituals.

Their bodies and minds have long since fallen into the abyss and are no longer our compatriots. ”

The one who spoke was a witcher wearing a mask and black shapewear.

He wiped the blood from his blade and began to destroy the ritual's circle.

There were also several demon corpses nearby, and Ulullius was wandering around them.

On the tail wagging behind him, there is a heavy hammer wrapped in crystals.

Judging from the wounds on the corpses of these demons, they were all stoned to death by the hammer on the tail of Ulullius.

Mysterious words and incantations came out of the mouth of the demon hunter just now.

Then he put his hands in his hands and pushed out.

A cloud of holy light floated, floating above the entire bloody field.

The power of the Light caused a deep black aura to begin to emerge from the place, rising upwards as if it had been ignited.

Those corpses began to be incinerated by invisible forces.

Looking at this scene, the witcher turned to Jason and nodded.

Then he said, "Let's go, there are still several places to confirm." ”

There were seven or eight witchers behind him, following him. Jason and Urullius followed.

Jason and Ulullius join a demon hunting team tasked with cleaning up the cultists and invading demons.

The main purpose is to protect the safety of the various safe passages and reduce the dangerous situation inside the city walls.

After all, as the war burns, the hidden cultists in the rear will also start to do things.

After all, now is a good time to fish in the water.

These cultists who are on the inside sometimes cause more damage than the demons attacking on the front line.

The more frequent the battles at the front, the more manpower will be strained for some patrols in the rear.

But there will be more convoys going to the front.

That's when those demon hunters with demon hunter fortresses are needed to start hunting down these damned cultists.

They are professional.

"Where did all these cultists come from? Can't you finish killing? Jason asked, quickly following the team of witchers.

As the leader of this team, the witcher is not at all as taciturn as ordinary witchers, but belongs to the more talkative category.

In response to Jason's question, he replied as he walked forward, looking at the map, "Some of them are local, and you may know that this place has long been infected by the breath of the abyss."

Under the rendering of various emotions, it is very likely to be infected by the breath of the abyss and begin to worship the abyss and worship demons. ”

"Of course, there are a lot of cultists from outside. It was not only volunteers or mercenaries who were willing to participate in the holy war that gathered here from far and wide, but also a large number of cultists.

Many cultists can't tell the difference at all, because they won't have any outward manifestations at a certain time, and they won't even have any major problems with their spiritual thoughts.

But when they come here, they quickly fall.

Nor can we refuse or set up all sorts of thresholds to hinder volunteers and mercenaries just because there are cultists mixed in. ”

You must know that all kinds of volunteers and mercenaries are also the main force of the front line, and these two are also members of the rear guard.

Hearing this, Jason nodded.

"The situation ahead may be a bit dangerous, and the whole village of Bowang Village may become a cult."

"There's a village outside the safe walkway?" Jason was a little confused.

He had not seen the villages marked on the map before.

"Don't underestimate human adaptability."

……

It's not quite dark yet.

But this wave of demonic attacks has been resisted.

Arka returned to the small round tower where he was resting, controlling the aqua blue water card to gush out clear water and wash the blood from his body.

"Give me some too."

Bororo, who didn't know when he would return, sat against the wall by the door.

Another stream of water crossed the arc and poured on Bororo's body, allowing him to be nourished by the current. By the way, it washed away the blood and dirt that stuck to his skin.

"Lord Alka, thank you for your help."

At this moment, the voice of a soldier came from behind him, and Arka turned his head to see a soldier saluting him, only smiling and nodding.

They are also just thankful and will not wait forever for the pestering to bother Alka.

Soldiers who came and went would nod their heads to him as a sign of respect when they saw him.

Some of those who saw Poloro nodded and even bowed.

This is all the result of their efforts on the battlefield during this time.

In particular, Arka can support a large area of the battlefield by relying on the attack of the elements, rescue all kinds of soldiers, and destroy demons on a large scale.

And because of the Devouring Mouth, powerful demons will approach Arka in various ways at the first time, trying to take down his head.

"Let's go inside."

Arka and Bororo entered the Circle Tower, where they each found a place to sit down and rest.

"Rest well, those damned demons, maybe they're coming again at night." Arka said, looking at the empty room.

The whole person leaned heavily on the back of the chair.

Bororo just nodded slightly, then leaned back on the bed and fell asleep.

Hearing the snoring sound from Bororo, Arka didn't bother, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes for a while.

It's so tiring.

When you wake up, you fight demons, and when you get tired from fighting demons, you continue to sleep.

Eating is just interspersed with this, and sometimes there is no time to eat.

The number of these demons seems to be endless, endless.

The various soldiers of the fortress alone do not know how many waves have been changed.

When Arka opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was already dark outside, I immediately woke up. The drowsiness subsided in an instant.

"Don't worry, the demon won't continue to attack tonight, you can take a good rest."

Julia sat down by the door, resting quietly.

"Julia? When did you get back. ”

Because of the needs of the battlefield, someone like Julia, who is also a technical talent, was naturally assigned to a place that was very suitable for her.

But Julia was pulled away by the Seed of Life Church, and Julia seemed to want to settle some things.

"You're back in the arms of life?" Arka asked, looking at her from the side.

Julia nodded, "Hmm...... I've seen so much here during this time. I was too impulsive before, and everyone, even the gods, was working hard in the direction they believed in.

Although the methods and paths are different, the purpose is the same. ”

Hearing this, Arka smiled, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Later, Arka saw a lot of doll girls resting here and there.

It was all over the table, on the bench, on the grain bags not far away, on the pillows on the bed.

They're tired.

Looking at these puppet girls, Arka, who had recovered almost completely, reluctantly got up and carried the people and girls who were not on the bed on the table and everywhere and put them on the bed.

"Ah, it's getting dark, oversleeping!"

With a loud bang, Bororo jumped down from the second floor.

The loud sound made the puppet girls who were already sleeping in a daze startle and jumped.

"What's wrong? Did the devil come in? ”

"Kill the demons!"

Looking at the suddenly chaotic room, Arka patted his forehead helplessly.

"Okay, calm down, it's time to rest, the demon can't come in, it's rare to have a rest tonight."

Hearing Alka's words, the puppet girls who stood up in a daze fell down one after another and quickly fell asleep.

And Pololo knew that he seemed to be stupid, and scratched his head.

"You're not going to rest for a while?"

Hearing this, Bororo turned his head and waved his hand.

"I'm going to see Matrice."

As he spoke, he hooked his back and prepared to push the door out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Martha Lisa smiling and wagging her tail swimming in.

"No, I'm back."

Although Matresa smiled, she could feel the exhaustion radiating from her body.

She hugged Pololo and then saw Julia.

"Julia? You're back. ”

He walked over and hugged a smiling Julia.

"You're tired and need a good rest." Julia said, hugging Martlisha.

"But well done, I have heard the name of the four-armed angel in the seed of life.

Those people look up to you. ”

Hearing Julia's teasing, Matresa smiled weakly.

Arka walked over and reached out and touched the back of Mattlisa's head.

"Compared to these, you better get some sleep."

The pink mist enveloped Matrice's eyes, and Matresa fell directly into Julia's arms.

All of a sudden, I fell into a deep sleep.

Julia nodded, picked up Marthasa, and went upstairs to the bed.

Arka just sat down and turned his head.

I saw a head pop out of the wall.

"Hah!"

“!”

Arka was startled for a moment, and then saw that it was Lucilia's head.

Lucilia transformed into a spirit and walked through the front to look at the startled Arka laughing.

Looking at Lucilia, who was laughing, Arka reluctantly sat back in her seat.

"Aren't you tired?"

"I'm a divine creature now, so I'm not tired." Lucilia smiled brightly and turned into a doll and fell into Arka's arms.

"Ah, Julia, you're back." Lucilia looked at Julia who came down from the upstairs and said in surprise.

After chatting for a few words, Lucilia turned to look at Arka and said, "Today I saw a witcher on the battlefield with a mark of the moon on his neck. ”

Hearing this, Arka turned his head to look at her.

"Remember the ruins of the temple? There is a mural on it. The painted figure has a moon mark on its neck. ”

Hearing this, Arka narrowed his eyes: "You mean to say that the people of the Lunatic Order, who we are talking about, may still be alive, have become witchers?" ”

"If you think about it, it's probably not it?" Lucilia began to explain.

"The temple where I grew up and those family members in the temple were killed by demons. Whoever survives must hate the demon, right?

Where should the demon of hatred be added to the scars of the world? Naturally, he joined the witcher.

You should have understood in the past few days, there is a family inheritance among the witchers, and it is normal for his descendants to continue to be the witchers. ”

Because the relatives of these demon hunter families are also very likely to continue to die at the hands of demons and die in the war with demons.

Or for hatred, or for childhood education, or for ideas. These descendants will still devote themselves to such a cause.

Hearing this, Arka nodded, it was really very reasonable.

"Did you get any information?"

Although the war is going on, it does not prevent Arger from getting more information about the treasure while the war is going on.

The two are not in conflict.

Hearing this, Lucilia smiled a little awkwardly.

"I was just about to go to her when she was carried away, because the war was too intense. There's no way I'm going to keep up. ”

Hearing this, Arka nodded, and didn't need to force it too much. Just know that there is such a witcher in the fortress.

When you calm down, you can ask Grefal for help, after all, the mark of the moon on the neck is still very conspicuous.

Hearing this, Bororo, who had been sitting next to him, said, "Then she should have been sent to the medical room...... When Matresa wakes up, ask her what she might know if she has a moon mark on her neck. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Soon Simon and Juan Lu returned to the Round Tower, even though it was late at night. But a night without a demon attack is a good time to rest.

It's rare for people to get together.

It was also these few who remained in the Demon Hunting Fortress.

Except for Julia, who has just returned, and Lucilia, who leaves the Demon Hunter Fortress from time to time to do reconnaissance missions.

These two are as expatriates as Xia Daiti and Jason and others.

Before dawn, Martrisa, who had been in a deep sleep, woke up.

Others also took a good break.

Matresa came into the hall and listened to Borolo.

Then he nodded, looked at the Arka and said.

"That's right, there was indeed a female witcher with a moon mark on her neck in the medical clinic yesterday.

She wasn't seriously injured at the time, but she did need some time to recuperate. He is still undergoing recuperation at the medical center. It will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield in a short time.

I remember that she had been helping out at the medical clinic since she got a little better yesterday. ”

Hearing this, Arka looked at her and said, "In that case, then you can help us ask us something about the Lunatic Order, the one we talked about earlier."

It is likely that he is the surviving or descendant of the surviving people we found in the ruins.

We might be able to get some information from her. ”

Hearing this, Martrisa nodded: "No problem, I will go to the medical center after dawn, and I will ask by the way when the time comes." ”

Although it was not yet dawn, everyone woke up and did not go to the battlefield, but seized the time to rest.

Meditate by the way.

Every moment of rest is precious.

Especially at a time like this.

But before dawn could be heard, a dull sound of trumpets was heard outside.

"These damn demons are here again." Pololo said, bending down helplessly and walking through the door.

The people who were still resting in the hall heard the dull horn and drilled out one after another with the puppet girls.

On the streets of the fortress outside, a large number of soldiers had already begun to move.

After coming out, everyone parted ways and began to leave from different directions, after all, they were in different areas.

By the time Arka reached the Second Wall, the demons had already begun to besiege the city.

A large black stone wrapped in flames, slicing a red line in the distance, smashing towards the city wall.

Look at the apocalyptic meteors in the sky.

The red card of the flame and the brown earth card appeared in front of Alka.

Controlling two cards, Arka spreads his hands as if against the sky.

Stones that fell were wrapped in flames and looked like lava. It instantly disintegrated in mid-air and fell into rubble. It's still hot, but it's much less threatening than it was originally.

And it was the giant one-eyed demon who was standing 1 kilometer away from the city walls.

They are almost identical in size to the Hammer Demon.

It's completely different from the strange form of the Hammer Demon.,It's a body structure with an inner person.。

These humanoid trebuchet demons will grab a large handful of sand, gravel and dirt directly from the ground beneath their feet. Then, through the lava in their hands, including the huge lava projectiles on it, they were then projected into powerful siege weapons.

There are not many such one-eyed demons, there are only three in total, and standing 1 kilometer away, they are obviously very afraid of being killed by the people who defend them.

As a result, the three-headed demon's attack was extremely threatening, and Arka and the others were not able to go over and kill him for a while.

A large number of demons attacked the first wall in the first place.

"Those damn one-eyeps." Looking at the one-eyed demon in the distance, one of the generals cursed.

Something like this is the hardest to solve.

But it is impossible to rush down, that is tantamount to looking for death.

Suddenly, a powerful beam of light flew out, piercing through the 1-kilometer radius and piercing the stomach of a one-eyed demon.

After the impact, there was also a ball of light explosion, which suddenly expanded the wound.

With a great wail, the demon fell to the ground.

The entire fortress erupted in cheers.

The beautiful singing voice came, followed by the stirring music.

The returning Julia is playing the harp, and a music box floats next to her.

The music is exciting, loud and far-reaching, but not harsh.

Strength and courage are given to all present.
