Chapter 841: Report on the Battle of Finbowinter (Part 1)
The sisterhood monastery in the Eternal City is filled with black flags. Thirteen pure white marble sarcophagi exuding cryogenic condensation are placed side by side in front of the altar. A girl who has learned painting skills is painting sisters who died in Finland in the hall.
The craftsmen and girls who had studied sculpture began to carve sculptures of the war dead holding swords on the top of the coffin lid. All other formal members of the sisterhood knelt on one knee on the cold black stone bricks.
In the hall, facing the golden sculpture and altar, they were chanting prayers in a low voice. The leading sisters held brass incense burners, and the strong smell of incense enveloped them.
Hundreds of burning white candles were piled near the altar, and the candlelight illuminated the golden statue from bottom to top, while the statue's face was shrouded in shadow-all the sisters who participated in the Battle of Finbowente could not
Forgetting what I had seen before, in such a horrific battle that only thirteen sisters gave their lives was an unimaginable victory. However, the joy of victory could not dilute the sadness in the hearts of the girls.
In the middle of the thirteen pure white marble coffins is Catherine's remains. It is said that the monarch personally carried her into the coffin and even shed a tear.
Lying in the coffin on her left was a human girl, a very young girl. Her cheeks were pale, her long blond hair was neatly combed, and the white linen covered the horrific stitches of wounds on her body.
, countless blood-red roses and white lilies surrounded her and fell into eternal sleep.
Vera and Tatyana silently read the names of those who died in the war.
It's my fault, I was too reckless.
Along with the sound of chisels on marble, she felt that her heart was being gnawed rhythmically by severe pain, even the pain caused by the sutured wounds in her abdomen could not compare with it. It was only 10 years from the Battle of Finnbowent Mountain.
Three days have passed, and she still can't forget the situation. But she can't tell anyone else outside the sisterhood about Vera's situation at that time. Everyone who sees that scene must keep this secret deep in their hearts.
That was when she was helping the mortal soldiers to evacuate on the hillside of Finnbowent Mountain and waiting for the assault transport boat to pick up. The assault team and heavy firepower team she was in were attacked by a giant humanoid monster inlaid with white porcelain, gold and rubies.
Separate the golden giant sword. When the defense line was broken, a flood of monsters quickly rushed towards the heavy firepower team. The number of monsters was endless. Even if the heavy firepower team fought hard to the end, they still could not prevent them from approaching a safe distance.
The enemy relied on the corpses of its companions to block heavy explosive bombs and high-energy plasma, and gradually approached the heavy firepower team.
Many members of the heavy firepower team had already drawn their forearm-long combat knives and decided to fight to the death. At that time, Tatyana activated her steel wings and charged forward waving her chainsword. She broke away from the team alone and pounced on the sword-holding arm of the humanoid monster.
, tried their best to kill this powerful enemy blocking the road, even if it was a slight obstruction, so that their sisters could have time to join together. At that time, they were only a few hundred meters away from the defense range of the anti-aircraft artillery, but they just couldn't stop it.
Take a few steps forward.
"We are the sword of the monarch, the light of faith in this dark universe!" Seeing that the war is irreversible, the captain of the heavy fire team shouted, "For my lord! Fight bravely, sisters, for Lady Catherine!"
"
"For my Lord and glorious Catherine!" the heavy fire team responded loudly.
They no longer retreated, but kept their fingers firmly on the triggers, directing their anger towards the angels and demons who were only a few steps away from them.
What is unexpected is that the young and shy Vera, who was supposed to be in charge of the flank, actually passed through the enemy's encirclement and rushed towards the surrounded heavy fire team without risking her life. She has never been the best in swordsmanship or shooting in this team.
That one, but she still pounced on the enemies, as if there was steely courage in that petite body. She rammed diagonally into the flank of the heavy firepower team, and the enemy's white porcelain skin was buzzing with the high-speed chain.
She was cut open by the saw, and the bolt gun in her hand shattered one body after another. She didn't care about her own defense. After she emptied the magazine, she smashed the bolt pistol on the enemy's head like a hammer. She was like
A violent hurricane swept through, using all the skills learned in the sisterhood to the extreme. In less than a minute, Vera reached the other side from one side of the encirclement net, with heavy firepower
The team cleared all enemies within a safe distance and helped the assault team and the heavy firepower team break out of the encirclement.
They successfully waited for fire support from the assault transport boat, but Vera was unable to get out of the enemy siege.
When Tatyana called Vera's name through the communication channel again, she saw that she was impaled on the tips of several golden spears and lifted up. Her helmet was in a broken state, and her limbs and chest were penetrated and pierced.
Blood continuously gushes out of the black power armor like a stream, dyeing the white robe a dignified blood red. The enemy lifted her up like a carnival, as if she were a trophy. Unspeakable fear and anger immediately poured in.
In Tatyana's heart, she resolutely jumped off the ramp hatch regardless of the opposition of the other sisters and ran towards the monsters who killed Vera. "My Lord is watching us, we are his swords, sisters." At that time.
Vera had not yet completely lost consciousness. She said to others in the communication channel with a vague voice, "This is what we are pursuing...a death like Ms. Catherine..."
"Don't be silly, Vera!"
Even now, Tatyana can recall how hot the blood of those monsters was when it was splashed on her body. She felt that her nerves were as hot as red-hot copper wires, her skin was scorched with anger, and her eyes were
Blinded by the blood, she was unaware that the sisters who boarded the assault transport boat with her also rushed down and killed with her. Tatiana felt that the battle seemed to last a century, when she held the bloody
When she saw Vera, she even fell into a trance, feeling like she couldn't recognize who the sister she was getting along with day and night was.
"I feel that Ms. Catherine is beside me, sister." Vera's eyes filled with blood opened wide, pink blood bubbles bubbled around her mouth, and her originally beautiful blond hair was turned into a dirty mess by the coagulated blood.
A mixture of dirty snow and soil. There is her blood and the enemy's blood here. "I..." Perhaps it was the medicine automatically injected by the life support system that kept her going until now, but Vera's consciousness had long been blurred, and she could only recognize
Tatiana next to her, "Ms. Catherine, she..."
"We must evacuate now, Tatiana." I can't remember which sister said this at the time. "Enemies with danger signs are approaching us."
"Stop talking, I'll take you away right now." Tatyana tried to hold Vera and stand up. However, the dying blonde girl didn't know where she got the strength to push her away, and fell heavily into the blood-soaked
In the mud. Before anyone else could pull her up, Vera fumbled and grabbed the chain sword that fell beside her.
And then... Tatiana took a deep breath and silently recalled that incredible scene.
She saw a dazzling white light blooming from Vera's body, and the stains on her power armor and blond hair seemed to have been evaporated and disappeared. The sisterhood members present raised their arms to cover their eyes, because the electronic eye systems in their helmets could not function at all.
Blocking this intensity of light, the girls even smelled the burning smell of overloaded electronic components in the helmet.
"I'm always with you, Vera."
Although the voice came from Vera, Tatyana knew that it was not Vera who was speaking. The voices overlapped one after another, as if coming from an extremely distant place. The originally noisy battlefield seemed to quiet down, and a cheerful voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, under the glare of the dazzling light, all extradimensional creatures were washed away like dirt on glass when it rained, leaving no trace. Including those who were later called [cherubi], who could fight against dozens of sisters.
The powerful giant monster also turned into steam under the light. When the light gradually faded, the girls saw a figure with white wings floating on the deserted battlefield. Vera's eyes were shining with light, and there was a figure behind her head.
The dazzling halo of light, the ashes produced after the enemy was burned, and the white feathers that appeared out of thin air floated around her. All the girls bathed in the light felt as if they were under the warm sun instead of a cold mountain peak.
"Ms. Catherine?" One of the sisters said in a trembling voice. They recognized this way of speaking.
"It's me." The voice responded happily, "I'm always here, girls. Don't worry, Vera is by my Lord's side, and she will be rewarded for her loyalty and faith."
