Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Strange Priest
"Your Excellency, a troop has appeared outside the city," a red-cloaked man on top of a house in Broken Wings reported to Eric.
"Oh, who is it," Eric stared coldly at the chaos in the city.
"It's Christina, the head of the Knight of Light," the cloaked man hung his head slightly, looking at Eric in front of him.
"She! It's really a bit of a surprise, I thought it would be that Zhou Liang" Eric raised his eyebrows, "Although it may not be able to stop it, let the deacon bring someone over to try it, this city is already chaotic enough, I don't recommend letting it be chaotic" Eric looked at the flames and black smoke around the city indifferently.
"Faster" Christina stared at the city of Broken Wings in the distance, and increased her speed again with some anxiety.
Boom! A sudden explosion sounded at the front of the team, blasting the knight running in front directly into the air. Christina hurriedly calmed the frightened war horse and looked forward, the black smoke cleared, and a middle-aged man in a red cloak was standing there, and the circle of red light under his feet was spreading outward, it was the deacon of the Abyss Sect sent by Eric.
"Everyone, this is not the way," the deacon paused, and looked at the knight in front of him with his wooden staff.
"Rush over" Christina didn't hesitate at all, she didn't even have the mood to take a look at the roadblock in front of her, and immediately gave the order to appease the war horse, taking the lead, holding a huge shield and rushing towards the abyss deacon standing in the middle of the road.
The moment Christina stepped into the red light, the deacon unleashed the magic that had been prepared for a long time, and the red light rushed towards the people of the Knights.
"Guardian of the Light" Christina released a defensive prayer, without any pause, she rushed over with the red light, and everyone in the knights also released the prayer, and the prayers of the entire team seemed to be fused together into a light film that shrouded the entire knights, but not everyone was as strong as Christina, although the defense became a whole, but there were still vulnerable points, but the individual defense became a whole and would be more comprehensive, after the red light, there were still dozens of knights in the outermost periphery, and the upper body slowly disconnected backwards because of inertia, and the section was smooth as if it had been cut by a sharp blade。
Christina still charged forward with a cold face holding the giant shield, as if she didn't know at all, getting closer and closer to the deacon, and the giant shield in her hand slammed into the abyss deacon who was still holding a wooden staff.
The deacon's originally calm gaze finally turned into horror after seeing the giant shield slapped towards him, he never expected that Christina didn't care about the casualties at all, and relied on her individual strength to eat herself, so that the magic she was preparing had no chance to be released at all.
How miserable the mage who was touched by the knight in the face is just look at this deacon, the giant shield first smashed his shield and smashed it on his body without hindrance, Christina's light power exploded instantly, knocking the deacon in front of her out of a few hundred meters away, and then the knights drove by, and it was seen that he only had breath out but no breath when he fell to the ground.
Eric who heard the report didn't say anything for a long time, "Is he stupid, really dare to charge alone against a group of knights, and stand in the middle of the road, this is a prayer to pray that his brain is gone" Eric was really a little angry, these people really don't know how strong Christina is, if anyone in the Knights of Light can block it, then the cathedral would not exist for a long time, why has he not seen such a humble enemy in the knights for so long.
"What now" The person standing behind Eric was also a little speechless, the Abyss Sect had been lurking for too long, and there were few opportunities to fight the group army head-on, and none of them had any experience, and they thought it was the same as fighting with a small army.
"Forget it, come in, come in, the cathedral side is the most important thing, as long as the Pope dies, we will have a real chance, otherwise everything is empty talk" Eric rubbed his forehead with a little headache. He knew how difficult Christina was, she was a person who had escaped death countless times, and her combat experience and command experience were not comparable to those of these Abyss Sects, and it was really hard to say if she could win if she was allowed to return to the cathedral.
Although Eric still sent people to block Christina along the way, it was not a problem for Christina to have no formed enemies, and she was reckless all the way. No enemy could even make her stop for a moment, and finally she was blocked in the square in front of the cathedral, the main square was densely packed with people in red cloaks and a large number of abyssal creatures, so that Christina had to slow down and move forward little by little, but even if she tried hard, when she entered the church, the original five thousand people were left, and there were less than three hundred.
"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I'm late" Christina, who came to the main hall of the church, knelt in front of the pope, blood falling down her face on the floor of the main hall.
"It's not too late, my child, it's God's greatest gift that you can come back safely, this time it's God's test for us, and we won't let them succeed" The Pope looked at Christina, who was kneeling below, and lightly tapped the scepter in her hand, a soft light floated onto her body, and the wounds on Christina's body began to heal visibly, and even her tired body was full of strength again.
"Get up, kid, we still have to rely on you to stop the enemy, you can't fall now," the Pope smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Christina below.
"Yes, Your Majesty" Christina finished speaking and led the people out again, organizing troops to resist the onslaught of the Abyss Sect, and now there was no time for her to stop and rest.
"If it weren't for the bishops' enemies to block, we would have breached this church a long time ago," said the man standing behind Eric as he watched the defense line become more solid because of Christina's return.
"You also know that they all have people to stop them, otherwise you think we can still be so leisurely here, the bishop of the Cathedral of Light is not a decoration, he has said a long time ago, don't let you act in such a hurry, but I, a newcomer, no one listens at all, if there is a bishop level person in the Abyss Sect, why make an embarrassing situation that is not up and down now" Eric said with some amusement, as if he was not worried about what was happening now.
"Otherwise, let me pass, as long as I do, I should be able to break through the defenses on the other side in no time," the man said to Eric again.
"It's not time yet, you have to know that although the Pope of Light is very old, no matter how he says that he is also a Pope, it is not so easy to deal with, not to mention that the presiding judge of the Inquisition has not yet appeared, so let's wait for the Pope to come over" Eric looked back at the middle-aged man who was following him, and the gleam in his eyes flashed.
The battle in the square in front of the church was still fierce, but our Zhou Liang was walking leisurely on the way back to the city.
"My lord, are we going faster," said Zeni, who had just heard the knight's report, a little anxious.
"What's the hurry, hasn't Christina already returned to the cathedral, it's just a dream for the two sticks of the Abyss Sect to break through Christina's defenses, and we can't help anything if we go back now except for the icing on the cake, can you destroy those people of the Abyss Sect, or can I destroy them" Zhou Liang said lazily on his horse.
"Then let's just go back so slowly now" Zeini didn't believe what Zhou Liang said at all, he just felt that Zhou Liang was too troublesome to go back to the battle.
"I'll tell you Zeni, believe it or not, I want a big battle more than anyone else, but I want to make sure that I can win this big battle and effectively kill the enemy, don't worry, I will definitely participate in this excitement" Zhou Liang glanced at his poor death power, how could he not want to kill the enemy.
Just when he was still pitying his wallet, there was a strange scene in front of them, a man in a priest's robe stood next to a corpse, and now there was a war with the Abyss Sect, originally this was nothing, it was weird that the corpse was wearing an abyss-level bishop's robe, and the person standing was just a small priest.
The priest looked at the large group of knights who suddenly appeared and blinked, "If I say, I don't know anything, believe it or not"
