Chapter 114 Faith, Killing, Feast III
After the battle broke out, the innocent believers were immediately implicated - but when the bright red color was blooming around, the Bishop Rubens looked ahead with a cold face, with no mercy on his frozen expression, standing there like an iron statue.
The battle in the age of cold weapons can only be described as "cruel". When chaos breaks out, the sound and atmosphere coming from the pavement are definitely hard for modern people to imagine - the weapon flashes with cold light, and every time it waves, it brings out a lot of blood, the body is separated, the broken arms, the broken legs and the head are broken, the heart-wrenching screams and angrily shouts are simply deafening.
The believers who had no resistance screamed and were even cut off by the "Virer Cross" killer ten meters away from the Bishop. However, Rubens ignored it and was still constantly blessed with divine art to the temple guards, and his eyes did not stop at the civilians for a moment.
Although such a indifferent attitude towards life is necessary at this time, Bishop Benjamin next to him couldn't help feeling a little chill in his heart - because all this was already planned
In other words, the sacrifice of believers has long been foreseen, and the scene of a large number of believers' casualties is simply an unexpected situation. In order to clear the tumor of "Viridian Cross" at one time and to allow the other party's human hands to appear without reservation, the Bishop of the Superintendent planned to let believers approach themselves from the beginning and deliberately let the enemy hide in it...
When talking about this a few days ago, Benjamin still objected, but Rubens's sentence "necessary sacrifices are inevitable" coldly rejected his suggestion - a senior official level crushed people to death. Within the sect, Benjamin's right to speak was not enough to continue saying anything... So at this time, he could only try his best to cast the "recovery" magic on those wounded closer, and as far away or invisible, he could only sigh silently and give up the plan to rescue.
War is cruel after all.
The believers of the "Virgate Cross" are not weak, and they are all good at the basic level of B or even 10. Ordinary believers and soldiers are completely knocked down like they were chopping melons and vegetables. Until these thugs hit the temple guards who had been blessed by "power", "defense" and "fighting spirit" three times, they seemed to have finally hit the waves of the embankment, and stopped immediately...
The noisy shouts gradually spread out, and the believers near the Bishop had already run away with Yu Jing within a few minutes, while Rubens himself stood in place with a scepter in his hand, not taking assassination seriously at all, and acted as if he had preserved his strength.
At the same time, the nobles were completely in a state of "watching" because of their distance. There were ladies and young ladies screaming to retreat, but most of the old nobles with titles stood there and immediately took measures - they ordered their retainers to go up and assist in the elimination of the pagans, trying to rescue the bishop.
However, because it is a formal occasion, there are not many retainers who are truly qualified to carry weapons and participate in the battle, but the more than 2 people who rushed up immediately made the balance of victory tilt towards the "Rose Cross" temple.
When all this happened, Roddy, who was standing in the distant corner, still had no movement. The "discovery technique" made him merge with the shadow under the balcony. He gently held the short bow in his hand, and the "explosion arrow" had already been placed on the bow table. He breathed steadily, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at the chaotic battle situation in the distance.
“It’s still early…”
When his whisper sounded, Rubens, who had never moved in the distance, seemed to finally move.
“It’s really… enough”
The golden scepter suddenly stopped, and amid the cracking sound of "click", it seemed that the solid floor was shattered by some force - followed by an invisible impact of the golden prayer that exploded and popped up around the guards. The body of each temple warrior appeared on the body of the "Divine Blessing Shield" that could absorb damage.
This group skill is a powerful magic that can only be released by level 2. It is extremely energy-consuming to cast, but it also shows that Rubens's strength is far beyond what this group of pagans can provoke.
"Don't Gallup show up yet?"
The cold words echoed in the square. The sound of the fight seemed to be suppressed suddenly - but in fact it was because the "Divine Blessing Shield" blocked most swords silently behind the illusion: the group shield technique is almost equivalent to a "invincible technique" that lasts - seconds to 6 seconds, which sounds just damage absorption, but the actual effect is much greater than the literal meaning.
The temple guards were all following Rubens' elites, and they had already had a tacit understanding with the bishop, so at the moment when the divine art was cast, they directly gave up on defense and attacked the pagans in an unreserved manner.
The always-contracted defense circle had been compressed to its extreme before. The counterattack that broke out instantly made the attacking "Viridian Cross" killer suddenly unable to react, and seven or eight people were killed on the spot. When they reacted, the nobles' retainers had already joined the battle from the side...
The situation seemed to become clear, and these cruel assassins were defeated.
But just as these pagans were about to be encircled and annihilated, a purple light suddenly flashed around the Bishop, as if an invisible force suddenly enveloped the cylindrical guard.
"Shadow Purification"
A hoarse voice came from not far away, and the shattered "Divine Blessing Shield" immediately declared the failure of this "Little Invincible". Following closely were three "shadow arrows" as dark as ink-
"Puff puff puff"
The soldier holding a shield tried to block the attack of the spell, but unexpectedly, the person and the shield were penetrated directly, and his whole body was knocked out. When the person landed on the ground, he was already dead...
Such powerful spells represent the difference between "advanced profession" and "basic profession".
A cloaked figure was first to walk out of the retreating chaotic crowd, with a thin body, a mocking smile on his face, and a short staff with a forearm in his hand, which was the "snake teeth" Gallup. He raised his hand like a wandering stroll in the garden and released a shadow arrow again, and said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect that the famous Bishop Rubens knew my name."
When he stood in front of him, forty or fifty people walked out of the chaotic crowd behind him again, including the adventurer team that Roddy had met before.
Almost as he walked out of the crowd, several powerful spell casters in the team immediately threw out three "fireball techniques" in succession, and directly swept Yu Jing from the noble private soldiers in front of him. Some noble servants who avoided the attack wanted to rush over to attack them, but just a few steps closer, they saw the bald strong man more than two meters tall rushing out like lightning, "bang" and knocking three or four people away together...
Someone who followed behind wanted to slash with a long sword, but was directly smashed by this guy's extremely fast punch, ran out a few steps, fell to the ground with a "thump" and died on the spot.
Picking up the long sword on the ground casually, the strong man seemed to throw it out casually, and nailed it directly to the head of a noble retainer running over next to him.
Blood and brain matter sprayed all over the ground, and the bodies that fell to the ground rolled onto the ground. The terrifying scene made the temple guards feel tremendous pressure.
"Long time no see Rubens."
Gallup's tone was joking, and then his eyes turned to the side, "Let's say a long story short, Ms. Akasha and I are ordered to send you to Hell, I hope your journey is...pleasant."
At this time, the two pagans were still alive, plus the forty or fifty people, and when he finished speaking, a figure appeared in Rubens's team again, with twenty people vaguely leading by a woman in a gray robe and a veil.
Akasha and his subordinates showed up, the number of "Viridian Cross" reached nearly 100, and they also included more than thirteen advanced profession killers.
Now, the intention of "Viridian Cross" is obvious. They are not just trying to "assassinate" the two bishops, but want to completely remove these temple guards, Rubens and Benjamin.
From the initial killing, to the siege of 40 people, to the siege of nearly one hundred people now, the reason why "Virer Cross" did this was not stupid, but deliberately waiting for the temple guards to gather together to prepare to "bangyuan" at one time - although the number of these pagans only had a slight advantage at this time, including the strong men with "advanced professions" and Gallup, who had an advanced level of 2, the team of Bishop Rubens immediately became precarious
Shadow energy gathered in front of him. Gallup, nicknamed "Snake Tooth", played with the staff in his hand. His hypocritical smile hung on his face like a mask, as if to tease the dying prey, he bowed slightly and said softly: "I know you still have two teams hiding in the dark that have not appeared... So I offer you this great gift, what do you think?"
Gallup's words obviously meant that he was confident - obviously he and others would not be afraid of the two troops Rubens prepared for backhand
The melee gradually stopped while the situation changed drastically, and both sides retreated a little.
The temple guards couldn't help but show a little fear after hearing Gallup's words. The arms holding weapons and shields in their hands were trembling because of the fatigue after the battle, and unconcealed gasps echoed under their helmets... And without saying the pressure brought to them by "Snake Tooth", Rubens, who was the first to bear the brunt of the brunt, chuckled, interrupting Gallup's desire to continue speaking.
"Oh."
Rubens gently pushed away the temple guard holding a shield, and the figure in a red robe slowly walked out of the center of the team. Every time the golden scepter touched the ground, it brought a crisp echo. Rubens's steps were calm and steady, with a calm smile on his face. Gallup, who was not far away, frowned slightly.
Rubens stood in front of the team, with only four shield-holding guards standing in front, back and forth, and behind him was Bishop Benjamin who followed him step by step.
"Gallop, your plan has been implemented since half a year ago, right?"
His words made Gallup tighten the short staff in his hand slightly.
As if he felt something was wrong, Gallup narrowed his triangular eyes and replied tentatively: "You know very clearly."
"Of course I know."
Rubens didn't care about the other party's cold gaze, his fingers rubbed the complicated patterns on the handle of the staff, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. The expression of "I'm going to show off" was obvious. After making a spell casting gesture with no trace in his left hand, he gently paused the scepter, and a warm breath spread around him - "Group Recovery Technique" quickly restored the injured temple guards to their original state. As the atmosphere of the entire team changed, the general bishop spread his palms and whispered: "Pastor Akasha told me all this, so I naturally knew very well."
