252 The city is full of feathers
The song is fluttering.
Like a line of starlight falling into a clear spring, swaying the blue waves are infinite.
The singing voice is faint, faint and faint, like a thin veil shrouded in nothingness, which sounds a little vague, but it reveals a supreme purity in it.
Illo listened sideways for a long time, and then laughed, "Who is this, the singing is not bad, and the fight with what I have." ”
"In this direction, it should be where the Cathedral of Cotia is," Todd also broke free from the intoxicating beauty of the song, and looked at Illo with a look of contempt, "but with what you have...... What does that mean?"
"I'm a professional too," the half-elf snorted triumphantly, "The contemptible is the pianist of the Sorrowful Orchestra, who once held a concert in Norman City." ”
He cocked his tail here, but forgot that the lead singer of the orchestra was on the side, and Allegri coughed to highlight his presence, before he ordered, "Don't worry, Todd, take us to church, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
During this time, the holy song seemed to have no effect, although it sounded. The Judgment Crusaders and the Necronomical Legion had breached the outer walls unimpeded, fighting the defenders in the streets. On the contrary, the shouting of killing on the northern city wall has stopped, and it seems that the demon legion is really as Amosic said, and immediately began to evacuate after the city was broken. However, in the eastern sky, you can occasionally see a huge two-headed demon dragon circling and diving, he has the advantage of flight speed, and he can completely catch up with his subordinates with latecomers, so he is not in a hurry to retreat for a while.
In this way, several powerful armies were intertwined. The whole city of Rankine was full of chaotic battles, and what was even more terrifying was that those huge nightmare beasts did not even attack each other. The Crusaders of the Judgment had to join forces in several places to avoid unnecessary battle losses. The necromancers don't care about these behemoths. The corpses all over the ground were the raw materials for their spells, and the number of soldiers of the Necro Legion did not even decrease, but increased. It's just that those skeleton warriors who tear flesh and skin and stand up are very low in combat effectiveness, and they can only exist as temporary cannon fodder.
All of a sudden, the city was full of smoke.
In the midst of this huge battlefield, the three Allegri were heading towards the church.
The Cathedral of Cotia is located on the central axis of Ranken's north-south and is the very end of the "pilgrimage route". In terms of location, it is located just north of the city center on the Palatine hills, and quite a bit from the northwest corner tower where they departed. Under Todd's guidance. The three of them plunged directly into the dense alleyway of the house and crept past.
Not all parts of a megacity like Ranken, with a population of millions, are spectacular. In comparison, even in such a civilian settlement, it is much cleaner and tidier. Walking through such a narrow path, the brick eaves lined with closed doors and windows are occasionally seen with hardy potted plants, and the vivid greenery is a sight to behold.
However, as long as the half-elves of road idiots enter a road that is not due south or west, they will be dizzy for a while. In addition, Todd led them around, and they were suddenly confused.
"This ...... Todd, are you sure you're not going down the wrong path?" asked Illo, shaking his head.
"How could it be. Todd was stunned, turned around, and explained confidently. "I've spent my entire childhood in Lancoln, and I'm almost familiar with these hidden trails. We followed the road and turned left, right, and left...... As far as you can get out, you can get out of a town near the cathedral. ”
There he was spitting and showing the way, and Balabala said a lot. However, from the second left turn, Illo had already begun to blink his innocent eyes in a daze.
"You mean, it's safer?" Allegri asked in a low voice, looking at his surroundings, and even a frightened face could be seen in the printed glass window.
"Of course, there are no valuable military targets near this civilian area, and this kind of path is not suitable for the march and formation of the army at all, and there will definitely be no enemy troops ......here," Todd smiled lightly, and was about to turn around to continue leading the way, only to find Allegri and Illo looking behind him with some surprise.
"What's the matter, what do you think I'm doing?" Todd was stunned, and hurriedly turned back, unable to help but stand still.
At this time, Allegri's voice came slowly, "Todd, there are really no troops here...... However, this kind of guy shouldn't be in your plan, right?"
Not far ahead, at the corner of the path, a giant beast five or six meters tall happened to turn around and was staring at them coldly.
The Cathedral of Cotia, the source of chants.
The white-robed saint stood quietly in the middle of the square, whispering the hymn of the Lord of Light. There was no one around her, only a thin layer of silver sand spread out on the ground, with her as the center, stretching outward, covering the entire open square.
These carefully stacked sand paintings have nothing in common with any kind of magic array or magic array, looking down from the sky, they look like graffiti in the hands of young children. However, as she sang, wisps of holy light were slowly pouring into it, and the silver sand was gradually soaked in brilliance in grains.
At the same time, the light of the feathers fell from the sky like snowflakes, but it completely dissipated before it could get close to the ground, and it did not play any role at all.
"What kind of magic is this?" Amosic subconsciously shrank his body, relying only on the blazing dragon's breath to assist the attack. Those flying feathers of holy light made him feel a little jealous in his heart, although he didn't seem to have any damage so far, he still cautiously avoided flying, slowly landed beside Silves, and asked in a low voice.
After all, Silves was from the Holy See of Light, and he probably didn't know anything about these strange divine arts.
"This is the unique magic of the Holy Maiden line, and I don't know the specific effect...... " Silves stopped, stared at it for a moment, and turned around and ordered, "Lovito, order all armies to temporarily sweep the enemy along the city walls, and keep a distance that can exit Rankine at any time." ”
"Yes, sir. Lovito hesitated for a moment, then bowed in response.
"Did you guess something?" Amosic watched as the handsome officer stepped forward to give the order, his four eyes fixed on Silves.
"It's just a feeling, otherwise I would have given a definite military order. The Grand Inquisitor shook his head, turned to watch his soldiers fire thousands of arrows, and a nightmare beast that stood in the way suddenly dissipated under such a dense fire.
"Alright," Amosic said with a thoughtful look on both faces, before he nodded for a long time, "then...... Chief Judge, since Ranken has broken and the agreement has been reached, then I will go first. Please fulfill the agreement between you and me as soon as possible. ”
"Lord Amosic, please," Silves nodded slightly, "and when this is the case, I will come to visit me in person, and the generous Kaikang will help." ”
Amosic chuckled and flapped his wings, leaving the range of the Feather of Light in just a few moments. He roared and urged the war-loving demon legion to quickly retreat north, but he was still soaring and maneuvering in the distance, paying attention to the changes in the entire battle situation.
"This old dragon is not an easy master ......to deal with," Silves muttered a few words to himself, striding forward, his figure became blurred in the midst of the surge of sword light, and the power of shadows exploded.
The next moment, he had appeared dozens of steps away, and the nightmare beast that had been rushing over didn't say a word, it slowly divided into several pieces and dissipated into the air.
Silves crossed his knife in one hand, flicked his robe, and stood solemnly.
The surrounding area has been completely cleared, and the entire eastern city has been completely under the control of the Judgment Crusaders.
But at this moment, he suddenly frowned slightly.
In mid-air, the light singing voice seemed to be gradually rising.
Allegri withdrew his fingers and gently blew away the spark.
Around the corner, a large cloud of crimson flames burned, and the nightmare beast screamed and struggled, but the tentacles of flames held it tightly in place, unable to move.
After a few breaths, the beast was completely wiped out in a blaze of flames, leaving not even a trace.
Allegri ...... Big brother," Todd glanced at him in surprise, subconsciously corrected his title, and exclaimed, "Your strength has been raised to such a level, it really makes me admire and admire ...... little brother."
"Alright, Todd," Illo scoffed, "don't hide behind us and lead the way." ”
Todd shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment and respectfully guided the two of them onwards. In his eyes, such a giant beast was simply invincible, but Allegri actually slashed it under the horse with a flick of his fingers, and it was more than a little stronger than the last time the two were separated.
"It's not that powerful," Allegri explained, embarrassed by his praise along the way, "These behemoths look hideous and terrifying, but their origin is nothing more than necromantic magic, only embodied by an unknown spell. The scorching flame mana itself has a restrained relationship with the cold necromantic mana, and I only need to consume less mana to offset its origin. ”
"Doesn't that mean you can easily kill these beasts in an instant?" Todd said.
Allegri shrugged and did not deny it.
"But, Allegri, isn't it the power of light that restrains the necromancy?" Illo next to him asked casually.
Allegri was stunned, he had never thought about it. At this time, he was reminded by Illo, and an elusive feeling flashed away.
Before he could answer, the ethereal singing voice in mid-air suddenly became louder, and the tune gradually turned high and excited! (To be continued......
