Chapter 559: The Gates of Hell
Malbus apparently didn't know what was going on over there.
He was now in an uninhabited alley in the middle of the city.
It had just been swept away by those demons, and there were even some demon corpses and those left behind by the soldiers.
However, at this moment, as their battlefield gradually concentrated near the Baal Cathedral, there were fewer and fewer demons and people in the vicinity.
Marbus drew a circle of blood on the ground.
A very old sacrificial circle, the mysterious six-pointed star is unusually conspicuous.
Then, he picked up the nearby corpse and placed it in the center of the circle.
Although some of the more powerful demons in Hell cannot come to the human world through the passage between the human world and hell.
But that doesn't mean he can't summon some demons through some of the other methods.
For example, some ancient evil sacrificial rituals.
He stood on the edge of the circle, chanting some kind of incantation in a low voice. As his magic power was infused, the circle began to light up with mystical brilliance, and the huge magic power began to spill out in all directions.
And the corpses disappeared little by little.
In fact, it's not just the corpses that have disappeared.
Because of this demonic disaster, the souls of these corpses actually didn't have time to be taken away by death.
So, there are souls in these corpses. And these souls were sacrificed by him to some demons in hell at this moment.
Soon, a pillar of light shot out from the magic array, reflecting on the dark sky. An even larger circle slowly appeared in his sight.
One monster after another hung upside down and slowly emerged from the magic circle.
At first glance, it looks very similar to a bat, but it is actually much larger than a bat, about three meters, grayish-black with some short hair.
The humanoid face is very similar to that of a bat, especially its huge ears and a pair of bat wings on its back, which can wrap itself in it.
This is the Bat Demon, a demon in Hell that is slightly more advanced than the Cerberus.
Although it is summoned through a sacrificial ritual, the power of the monsters that can be summoned is limited.
However, limited strength can be compensated for by numbers.
At this moment, the number of bats summoned by Malbus was extremely large, and in just a few minutes, they were all over the sky.
They slowly landed in front of Marbus and half-knelt down in front of Marbus.
When it falls on the street, it even directly covers the entire street.
They didn't say a word, as if they were waiting for Marbus's orders.
"To the center of the battlefield in the east!" Malbus gave the order, "Wipe out all the humans you see!" ”
As soon as his order fell, the bat legions flapped their wings and flew towards the Baal Cathedral.
And at the same time the Baal Cathedral.
The two warships finally drove to the center of the square in front of the cathedral.
This is the place where the Holy Sword Angel was manifested.
But apparently, the people of Britannia never imagined that hundreds of years later, an ancient and powerful Great Demon would also descend on this place.
This actually shows that the influence of the gods on the human world has weakened to a certain extent.
Even the door of the church is no deterrent to these demons.
However, perhaps it is because the entrance of the church, such an impossible place, is the easiest place to hide.
This should also be the result of careful consideration by the enemy.
The entire square in front of the Baal Cathedral could hold a full 500,000 people, and it couldn't have been easier to drop two warships.
And the Baal Cathedral is connected to the main street. In the past, the emperor's enthronement ceremony was here, and it was also the starting point of the military parade.
So the combat space here is very empty, which is very suitable for warships.
Mecha units form a network of fire at the front, while infantry replenishes fire in the middle.
Finally, the warships formed the most important fire support in the rear.
Two frigates, hundreds of mechs, tanks.
Machine guns, machine guns, anti-armor guns, and even flamethrowers, mines, and air power are used.
Now these configurations are that there is no problem in fighting another Verdun battlefield, let alone facing these demons.
Countless tongues of fire erupted, and sparks flew in all directions. The rumbling of artillery fire came and went, even louder than the thunder in the sky.
The corpses piled up rapidly on the main street, and with the forces of both sides almost equal, the Britannian side, which had an absolute advantage in firepower, undoubtedly had a huge advantage. And the firepower in the air is the finishing touch.
If it weren't for the fact that this was their own imperial capital, they would have even directly used fire to cover the city.
Of course, these demons are not stupid, and a large part of their monsters try to get around from the other side, but there are mages stationed there.
However, although the wizarding world has evolved for many years now, the number of magicians is limited.
And every aspect of the wizarding world needs to be run by a magician. Just one Britannia wasn't enough to bring the entire wizarding world to a halt and get all the mages out there.
Therefore, the magicians who come here are only magicians of the Exorcism Division, and their help is limited.
But right in the center of the Baal Cathedral, a group of magicians dressed in heavy magical robes formed a circle.
They all looked older, forty or fifty years old. These are the mainstays of the wizarding world.
All of them carried a candle of fire in their hands, and the faint light of the fire reflected on their faces.
Leo, on the other hand, carried a silver sword and repeated a spell in his mouth.
"Through me enter the City of Endless Pain
Through me into the pit of eternal misery
Through me into the doomed crowd
is propelling my exalted Creator
I am the crystallization of theocracy, divine will, and divine love
There was no eternal creation before me
I will be with heaven and earth for a long time
Those who enter will be cut off from all hope
Arrogance, precaution in arrogance - heavy punishment
Jealousy, abstain from jealousy - sewing your eyes to punish it
Rage, abstain from anger - black smoke punishes it
Laziness, abstain from laziness - run and punish it
Greed, quit in greed - lie down and punish it
Gluttony, abstain from hunger - starvation punishes it
Lust, the abstinence is in the color - the flame is punished"
The magicians around him repeated the same words.
Dozens of people recited this sentence together, and the resonance of the sound echoed in their ears, which was extremely shocking.
Vast amounts of magic wandered and condensed between them.
A quaint and heavy door slowly appeared in front of their eyes.
The gate is carved with many unknown patterns, and there is a large relief of a cross on the doorway.
But this cross is not Jesus, but an unknown demon with horns on his head, a red body, simple clothes, chains, and limbs nailed to the cross.
This is the Gate of Hell, a gate that seals all demons
