Chapter 213: Closing the Net
Saint-Sauvel Cathedral is located in Provence, France.
In this famous city of knights, the Cathedral of Saint-Souvel has been standing for almost a millennium.
From the very beginning of its existence, it has been one of the two holy places in the hearts of the papal knights, the other being the holy city of Jerusalem.
Although the "City of Knights" is not a subordinate organization of the Holy See, the two have always maintained a very close relationship.
In the past, the Holy See launched the Crusades, and the mainstay of the crusaders was the Templar Order, which was composed of countless elite paladins of the Holy See.
More than eighty percent of the members of the Knights Templar had served as servants in the City of Knights, and they had a very close relationship with each other.
It's just that because of some later disagreements, the original comrades-in-arms eventually parted ways.
Although it can't be said to be a hostile person, it has completely become a luxury to want to be as intimate as before.
This time, the Holy See and Behemoth's branch in Europa went to war, and the City of Knights was not intended to refer to it.
After all, Behemoth has hardly ever dealt with the Inhumans in the City of Knights, and there is no contradiction between the two.
And the reason why the knights were not harmed by Behemoth was also because their talents were too ordinary compared to other Inhumans.
Of course, the ordinaryness here is only relatively speaking, and any supernatural power that wants to develop to the later stage must be supported by a talent that is not one in a million.
It's just that the threshold for knights to embark on the path of transcendence is much lower than that of other transcendentals.
For example, if a person with an ability can't activate the Gene Awakening ability, he will be an inconspicuous mortal for the rest of his life.
Or a magician, if he doesn't have the talent to resonate with the elements, he can't release a spell even if he reiterates 10,000 spells.
But the knights are different, they are the same as the warriors in Huaxia, they are known as the lowest threshold of the extraordinary or alien.
As long as you have a heart that is not afraid of strong enemies, loyal and unswerving, and has been polishing your body and skills for more than ten years, then you can become a powerful knight.
Whether he can release his external fighting energy like Noah is another matter, but he can definitely fight more than any mortal.
It is precisely because these extraordinary powers come from hard work and hard work that they do not have any value to Behemoth.
Behemoth believed that the human body was a huge treasure trove, and that any mutation in genes could evolve into powerful abilities.
Therefore, they prefer to collect those transcendents with strange abilities, extract their genes, and arrange and combine them to create biochemical warriors with various powerful abilities.
Sean, Peter, and Otales were born out of this survival of the fittest experiment.
As for knights and warriors, their strength stems from their long-term hard cultivation, and they can't be quickly developed by taking drugs, and naturally there is no need to extract genes.
Therefore, after Behemoth arrived in Europa, he rarely clashed with the city of knights, and the two were relatively peaceful.
However, when the Holy See declared war on Behemoth, the City of Knights, which had always been thought to be hanging high, actually came to the rescue.
At the same time, it was besieged head-on by two top forces, and there was also a directory secretly stumbling up, not to mention the branch of Behemoth, even if it was the headquarters, if it wanted to deal with it, it would have to be one head and two big.
In just two days, Behemoth's years of hard work in Europa were all destroyed, the hidden base was not one out of ten, and a considerable amount of experimental data, potions, and test subjects were also lost.
The heavy losses alone do not seem to be enough to describe the depth of Behemoth's pain this time.
After purging the Europa Inhuman world, Pope Ben Follett III traveled to the City of Knights to celebrate this hard-won victory with the lord of the city, Barnes Reinhardt.
However, compared to the lively celebrations outside the cathedral, the inside of the church is very quiet.
"Your Majesty, I still don't understand why you released the criminals on the list, how much the Holy See paid to arrest them in the first place, you won't forget, right?"
Barnes's expression didn't look happy, but worried.
He didn't know what kind of price Lucifer had paid to impress the Holy See, which claimed to be uncompromising.
But to let such a heinous person escape the shackles is really a shame on the heroes who gave their lives to capture them, and a shame on the word justice!
Ben Follett III said faintly: "Of course I remember, Foca, Herder, Levin, Kate, Sakya, I remember the names of each and every one of them, these martyrs who died for the cause of justice, I will never forget them until I die. ”
"That'...... Why are you doing this...... "Barnes is a hot-tempered person, but in the face ......of the Pope, no matter how hot his temper is, he must be restrained, but if he doesn't say it, it really makes him feel like a fish in his throat."
"Dumb decision, right?" Ben Follett III smiled and helped Barnes say this.
The two were silent for a while, and Ben Follett III spoke: "I agreed to Lucifer's deal because by doing so, I would avoid greater sacrifices.
The oracle told me that a catastrophe was coming, and if I sat idly by, it would sweep the world in five years at most, and I don't know how many people would die.
And this deal with Lucifer is an important part of solving the disaster, so for the sake of the big picture, I have to do it. ”
"Disaster? What disaster? Barnes looked puzzled.
Although the world is not very peaceful now, at least the developed countries where they are located do not have to worry about their livelihoods.
It's only been five years, so there won't be a world war, right?
Aside from world wars, Barnes really can't think of any kind of catastrophe that could sweep the whole world, and make even the pope prepare for it even if he violates his principles?
In the face of Barnes's question, Ben Follett III shook his head: "There is not much power left in the oracle, and to get such a vague prophecy will almost consume all his strength, and if you want to be clearer, I am afraid that your life will be lost." ”
Hearing this, Barnes finally hung his head and approved of the Pope's behavior, despite the many puzzles in his heart.
At the same time, the great battle on Dragon Tiger Mountain is nearing its end.
Compared to the total destruction of the Europa Division, Behemoth's losses on Dragon Tiger Mountain this time were also outrageous, after all, all the elites of the headquarters were sent this time.
If it is a confrontation with the top forces, even if you lose in the end, you will not be wiped out, and a timely retreat will still be able to keep a lot of vital forces.
But who would have thought that it was Zhang Zhiwei who shot on Longhu Mountain's side?
He alone wiped out the elite sent by Behemoth this time, including many foreign aids invited by Behemoth.
As for the whole nature, there are a lot of miscellaneous soldiers in this group, but they have all been solved by the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and foreign friends.
The remaining bit of essence is absconding, and its whereabouts are not known for the time being.
The invading enemy was completely annihilated, which can basically be described as the battle of Longhu Mountain this time.
About eighty percent of the results of this battle were won by the Heavenly Master alone, and they were also broadcast on the Internet at home and abroad.
At this time, the aliens finally had a new understanding of the strength of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master.
See Winter Titan Nelson?
That guy's strength is not much weaker than Ding Dao'an, Zhang Chuyi and the like, and such a huge size is even more catastrophic for ordinary aliens.
But in front of the Heavenly Master, there are only a few things about the thunder law.
If you don't have such a big size, you will be gone with a slap.
It is foreseeable that for a long time from now on, Dragon Tiger Mountain will become a forbidden area in the Inhuman world.
If any stranger comes here in the future, I'm afraid I won't dare to be bold again.
And many of the aliens who had been wild on the mountains during the Luo Tian Dajiao period were also afraid when they thought about it at this moment.
I thought to myself, fortunately, the Heavenly Master didn't have the same knowledge as them, if it hadn't been a slap in the face, wouldn't he have to go to see the king of Hades directly?
"Actually, I've always been a merciful, elegant, and easy-going old man."
Zhang Zhiwei said this in a video call with Zhao Fangxu.
He knew that the company was worried about his strong combat power, so he used this more witty way to reassure Zhao Dong.
And Zhao Fangxu also laughed and said: "Heavenly Master, you are too humorous, Huaxia Yiren has your Dinghai God Needle, who doesn't say a word when you see it?"
Our company has always admired you very much, and you don't have to pay too much attention to the matter of Longhu Mountain this time, after all, it is those strangers who are looking for their own death, and even if you don't make a move, the company will deal with them. ”
Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "That's good, I was worried that I would kill too many people this time and be blamed by the company." ”
"Look at what you said, to maintain the order of the Inhuman World in the future, you have to rely on you to be old, it's too late to love you, dare to blame you to death? Anyway, I, Zhao Fangxu, was the first to not agree! ”
At this moment, Zhao Fangxu's face is quite similar to Zhang Chuyi's when facing him.
It can only be said that both of them are too conscious and know what kind of people to say in front of them.
"In this way, the old heavenly master, the company has laid a net around Longhu Mountain this time, Gong Qing and they came in, don't think about going out.
When they are caught, they will be the first to tell you the truth. ”
After Zhao Fangxu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
On the other hand, the Inhumans in the West experienced a big war, and all of them were sleepy and tired, and they went back to rest one after another.
Hemia stared at Lucifer and the others for a while, remembering the Pope's instructions to her just now, and finally did not provoke these sinners, and turned back to the room.
"Wang, it seems that it will soon be our turn."
On the Nathan Island side, although there were very few people coming this time, each world was very powerful, so there were basically no injuries in this battle.
It is worth mentioning that although Behemoth mainly came to King Nathan this time, because the outer defense force was so strong, they didn't even see King Nathan's face, so they rushed into the street.
Probably embarrassed to be unable to do anything at all, King Nathan still sent two guards into the battlefield to share the pressure for the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Whether it's Alfonso or Satoru Mochizuki's play, it's quite impressive.
Especially Alfonso, when he used the strong holy light to physically purify the enemy, the Holy See stared at him for a long time.
Those who don't know think that they are also doing the same thing as Behemoth in private, and want to eat them alive immediately.
This is only the first meeting between the two, and I believe that the Holy See will definitely visit Nathan Island again in the future, after all, Alfonso's innate ability seems to have too much to do with the Holy See.
As the opposite of the Holy See, there are also a lot of things to worry about on the list.
"The power of sin is not something that anyone can control, it can be used to do good, but because it is too intense for emotions, it is easy to be affected when you use it.
And what you have in your hands is the power of rage, which in itself is one of the most difficult emotions for human beings to control, so the probability of you being affected is even greater, so you must be cautious and improve your self-cultivation. ”
As he was about to leave, Lucy taught Lu Linglong in French earnestly, in the tone of an elder.
Except for the master, Lu Linglong has never felt such care from anyone, and Lu Linglong is quite moved in her heart.
However, she had also heard about the act of the list, so her feelings for someone like Lucifer were very complicated.
So hearing Lucifer's instructions, Lu Linglong also nodded lightly and said, "I have been cultivating my mind since I was a child, and controlling my emotions is not difficult for me. ”
This is indeed a truth, she has been worshiping Baiyun Temple since she was a child, and she has not learned the Quanzhen Neidan Kung Fu, mainly focusing on cultivating the mind, and refining the body is secondary.
But even so, her strength is quite good among her peers, which shows how talented she is.
The only pity is that perhaps because of the power of great sin in her body, Lu Jin found that she was not suitable for cultivating the Reverse Life Triple after checking her granddaughter's talent.
If she is suitable for cultivation, her current level of reverse life may be even higher than that of her cousin Lu Lin.
But in any case, the most suitable exercises for her cultivation are now available.
Although it is a foreign classic, and it looks a bit evil, Lu Linglong has confidence in herself and feels that she can control this power.
"In the future, if you are free, or if you encounter any trouble, you can come to Europa to find me, with this ring, all the power of the directory, you can use it."
Lucifer threw Lu Linglong a black metal ring, and then left her with only a back, and left with Beelzebub and the others.
"Anyway, why haven't you seen the real person of Lingyu?"
Lu Linglong suddenly remembered this incident.
The battle was in full swing ahead, why didn't the disciples of the old Heavenly Master even see a shadow?
"Lingyu, he's injured and has been in his room all the time, and Cecilia is taking care of him."
Rong Shan explained for his junior brother.
At this time, Zhang Chuyi's mobile phone rang, and it was Zhao Dong calling.
