Chapter 024 (Fighting in the Church)
"I am guilty and perishable before you. Father, deliver me, deliver me from myself, from all my sins, from my wayward nature, from a life that is constantly rebelling against you. All my thoughts, all my desires and ambitions are against you. I have always hated your truth and turned away from your ways. ”
"O merciful Father, I repent and turn to You, and turn to the Savior in faith. I saw Jesus shed His blood for me and died in my place. Gracious Father, don't abandon me completely. In wrath you miss mercy. Take the blood of the Lamb and put it on my heart, and cleanse me so that I may be whiter than snow. Accept me as your son. "This is a sinner confessing his sins."
"Dear Father, I want to thank, thank, and praise you in all things, and I ask your Holy Spirit to help me to praise you, to praise you in spirit and truth, and to help me to help me in my heart, and to help me to always meditate on your lovingkindness, your grace, and your glorious works, and to give me sincere thanks from the depths of my heart. - Amen!" a devout believer whispered a prayer.
The tall and spacious hall is filled with worshippers who come to pray and confess, and they whisper all kinds of prayers. Among them were old men, men and women, but there were no ignorant children. The nuns of the church are not allowed to enter the church after receiving orders from the bishop.
When Kelia enters the hall of the church, she spots her target. Immediately, her piercing gaze searched vigilantly for the surrounding crowd, and after making sure that there were no suspicious figures, she slowly moved her steps forward.
Aina crept up on the other side as she approached Brant, who was praying to the statue of the Father, only to see a sharp dagger slash from her sleeve into her hand. This scene was seen by Greya, who was hidden in the crowd.
At this moment, they are getting closer and closer to Brandt, and they can make a move if they get a little closer.
At this moment, I heard a 'bang', and the wide elm door in front of the church hall was tightly closed from the outside. Outside the square, those who wanted to enter the church to pray were stopped by a long spear soldier. Although people don't know exactly what's going on in the church, they also know to stay away.
The knights, who had been hiding in the backyard of the church for several days, heard the sound of the secret and rushed to the spacious hall with their swords in hand. Heavily armed Paul and Jason were among the knights.
At this moment, the entire hall of the church is tightly sealed, and no one can get out of this hall, not even a crow can fly out. The frightened crowd in the hall suddenly became a pot of porridge, and people pushed and dragged to get out of the church first.
Paul looked at the chaos and shouted, "Everyone, squat down, don't move." ”
When the frightened people heard the knight's order, they crouched down tremblingly, and stayed where they were. Surrounded by the knights, Kylia and Aina stopped, and they looked at each other, and a little panicked expression could be detected in their eyes.
Aina was wary of the movements around her, and whispered anxiously, "This is a trap they set, what should we do now?" She has always been a trap for others, but she didn't expect to fall into the trap of the other party this time.
Kylia replied lukewarmly, "What else can I do, find a way to escape." She didn't expect to be careless and actually fall into the trap that the other party had already arranged. But she didn't notice anything wrong around the church, and she could only say that the plan was meticulous and thoughtful.
"As long as you tie your hands down," Brandt quickly turned, "I might be able to spare your lives." "He had planned to capture them alive, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time and set up such a careful plan. Brant wanted to learn the wonderful spells from the illusionist, and more importantly, only by catching the illusionist could he figure out what Witton was going to do.
"You can catch me?" Kellya sneered with a look of disdain, "I don't know if you underestimated my ability, or if you overestimated your own strength." ”
"What nonsense to talk to her, just take them down. Roy took his bow and shot an arrow at the witch on the other side.
Aina sideways dodged the arrows that were speeding from the opposite side, but the arrows spun around the hall and flew back behind her. Just as the arrow was within reach, the witch Aina suddenly turned into a flock of crows and wanted to fly away from the surrounding area of the church.
At this time, I saw a tight and firm spider silk hunting web falling from the sky, and more than a dozen crows were covered on the ground by the hunting web, no matter how they struggled, they could not escape the shackles of the hunting web. But a few crows flew to the glass windows around the church's stone walls before their nets fell.
Brandt's right palm stretched out, and a fireball shot out of thin air. He swung his hand forward, the blazing fireball in his hand whizzing away, and in a moment, the group of crows beneath the hunting net was burned into a cloud of smoky charred flesh.
Immediately after that, several sharp ice picks suddenly appeared in Brant's cold left hand, and with a wave of his hand, a crystal sharp ice pick flew towards the crow on his right. He threw the remaining icicles at the other crows.
Several crows shot by icicles fell to the ground, one of which was the witch's real body. The moment the crow fell to the ground, Aina, whose arm was shot by an ice pick, appeared in the hall, and blood flowed down her wound. It wasn't a big deal for her, but it was the first time she'd been injured in the past few years.
Seeing this, Kylea tried to help her companions, but the knights such as Paul and Jason had surrounded her so tightly that she didn't dare to move.
Paul and Jason don't make a move against the enemy in front of them, and they just besiege her. Don't let the other party have any chance, or a chance to escape.
Glea, who was hidden in the crowd, made a move, and more than a dozen thin silver needles broke out of her hands and flew quickly towards the witch opposite. These small, sharp silver needles barely make any sound, and ordinary people can't detect them with the naked eye. Besides, Aina was facing away from the silver needles that flew towards her.
More than a dozen silver needles pierced Aina's body in the blink of an eye, and she only felt a sudden pain like a mosquito bite in her body, and then she passed out to the ground. This time Grea did not apply venom to the silver needle, but an anesthetic.
The two knights stepped forward and tied the unconscious witch with ropes, then escorted them aside.
"What did you do to her?"
"Don't worry, she's not dead," Glia told the other party, "just a couple of silver needles smeared with anesthetic into her body." "If it weren't for Brandt's intention to capture them alive, Gria would have sent them straight to hell.
Kellya looked around the audience with a disgusted expression, "Don't you think it's despicable and shameless for so many of you to use hidden weapons to sneak attack?"
Brant replied coldly, "Against people like you who are dark and cold-blooded, we just choose to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth. ”
Kylia sneered a little self-deprecatingly, "And how are you different from us?"
"At least we didn't take her life with a secret weapon," Brandt pointed pointedly, "and you have repeatedly used despicable and insidious means to kill me. If it weren't for the usefulness of keeping them, he would have chosen to kill them without hesitation.
"It's just your excuse. ”
"Not an excuse?" Brandt commented, "but the facts. ”
With a light smile, Kelia said sarcastically, "This is what you call knightly honor?"
"You don't have to provoke me," Brandt ignored her sarcasm, "I'll give you a fair fight." "He needs to use his combat experience to improve his combat ability, and the illusionist on the opposite side is a suitable opponent.
"With whom?"
Instead of answering her, Brandt turned to Paul and Jason and instructed, "You take her back to the castle first." ”
"Yes, sir. Paul replied respectfully.
The door to the vestibule of the church was slowly opened, and a group of soldiers armed with spears rushed in. At the urging of the soldiers, the Heavenly Father's believers, who were squatting on the ground and trembling, hurriedly got up and rushed to the gate. Knights such as Paul and Jason followed him out of the church hall.
The wide door was closed again by the soldiers, and there were only four people left in the entire hall, Brant, Grea, and Roy, and Kellia, dressed in white robes.
