Joseph's home was a long way from the city gate, at least five miles. When they were halfway there, Mary cried out in pain.
"What's wrong?" Joseph was anxious and at a loss.
"She is about to give birth," said Maria's mother, Athena.
"What should we do?" Joseph was extremely anxious.
"The Lord told me that Bethlehem is very dangerous now. King Herod's soldiers are searching for us everywhere, so we can't go to the hotel. We need to find a place to hide first," Athena said.
At this time, the wind and snow became more and more intense, almost covering the sky and the earth, the sky became dark, there was no one on the street, and the temperature plummeted.
Athena looked around anxiously, and saw a figure standing faintly at the entrance of an alley. She was startled, but when she looked carefully, she realized that it was the angel Michael, and she suddenly felt relieved.
Then she saw Michael pointing towards the entrance of the alley, which meant very clearly that he should go into the alley to hide.
Athena helped Maria walk toward the alley, and Joseph followed. When passing by Sun Ran, he took a strange look at the stranger who hid his entire body under a large cloak.
"Lena, who was that person just now?" He asked Athena. Lena was her name in the mortal world.
"I don't know him either." Of course Athena would not admit it.
The three of them walked a few hundred meters in the alley, and Maria couldn't walk anymore. There was pain in her throat, and her body sank.
Seeing that the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, Joseph became more and more anxious. He looked around and saw an empty stable not far away.
Although the stable was still ventilated, there was no wind or snow at least, so he pointed: "Over there. Let's go hide in the stable."
This was the only thing that had to be done in an emergency. Athena immediately helped Maria into the stable. There was some hay on the floor of the stable, which was still clean, so she helped Maria lie down on it. Then, ignoring Joseph standing beside her, she began to
Maria delivers the baby.
At the entrance of the alley, Gabriel also arrived.
She brought bad news to Sun Ran: "There is a large group of cavalry rushing towards this side. There are about seventy or eighty people, and there seems to be dark angels among them."
Sun Ran nodded and pointed down the alley: "I will stop them. You go inside. Don't let them be attacked. As soon as the Holy Son is born, notify me and we will take them out of the city together!"
"Can you do it alone?" Gabriel asked.
"Whether it works or not is another question. Now do you have any other options?" Sun Ran asked back.
So, Gabriel rushed into the alley, and Sun Ran was still leaning quietly against the stone wall at the entrance of the alley, with his head lowered. He held his chest with his hands and a sword on his waist, waiting patiently.
After a while, there was the sound of clattering hooves, and a black figure ran towards Sun Ran. It was his little donkey. It ran up to Sun Ran. It stopped and rubbed his arm with its head.
"Hey, buddy, I'm really sorry that I didn't let you rest more." Sun Ran patted the donkey's head, took off the bag from the donkey's back, and opened it. There was a bundle of iron arrows, more than a hundred of them.
It is his weapon against all opponents.
"Okay. You can go into the alley. There may be people inside who need your help. Well, they may also need something from another bag." Sun Ran said with a smile. In the other bag, there are some clothes and a baby.
When you are born, you must always keep warm.
The donkey barked "coo, coo, coo" at Sun Ran a few times and ran into the alley.
Then Sun Ran continued to lean against the wall and wait. The wind and snow became stronger and stronger, until the snowflakes were almost as big as a mat, and the sky became darker and darker, almost to the point where the other side was invisible.
After only waiting for about ten minutes, the thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the wind and snow, getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, Sun Ran's body moved to the side, and then, with a "Peng" sound, a powerful arrow flew over Sun Ran's neck and hit the stone wall. Stone powder flew into the air, and the tip of the arrow did not go in, indicating that this
The power of the arrow.
Ordinary people cannot fire this arrow, they can only be dark angels.
"Who is here?" Sun Ran didn't bother to inquire and asked the Dragon of Order directly.
"Loki, the Dark God, was once a member of your pantheon, but now he has become Lucifer's general."
"I got it, send someone to support quickly, we have too few people!" Sun Ran urged.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon of Order brought him another bad news: "We can't support you for the time being, hold on!"
"What's going on? Just let the angels descend to earth...Oh, Lucifer turned out to have done this, it's really amazing!" Sun Ran reacted.
This Lucifer, he actually blocked the login channel of the entire game world. At this time, no one, including players and angels, no matter light or dark, can enter the game world, and there is no way to interfere in the battle here.
That's not all he did. This guy actually solidified the permissions of the game world. In other words, during this period, people with lower abilities than Lucifer would not be able to activate plug-ins.
"How long will it take you to open this blockade?" Sun Ran asked.
"It takes about a day of gaming."
In other words, within this day, Sun Ran only had two comrades, Gabriel and Athena, and his opponents, in addition to the Dark Angel, also had soldiers sent by King Herod.
It was obvious that there was no way to fight, so we had to run away.
"...Okay. Then I'll do my best." Sun Ran sighed.
The exchange between him and the Dragon of Order lasted only a moment. The next moment, Sun Ran picked up his bow and fired back, with a loud "collapse". He was still able to identify the position by listening to the sound, and he still fired three arrows in unison.
"Uh~" "Plop!" "Ah!" Three screams came out. Two people died and one fell to the ground.
"Counterattack! Shoot him to death!" A vague voice came from behind the snow curtain, followed by a large wave of bow strings exploding.
Sun Ran dodged and hid behind the wall.
"Swish, swish, swish~" A wave of arrows flew over and instantly enveloped the place where he was standing. The ground and walls were filled with arrows.
As soon as the arrow went away, Sun Ran stepped out of his body and fired his bow three times in a row.
The screams coming from behind the wind and snow became clearer and clearer. Not a single arrow was wasted, and six people were hit by arrows. The three horses in the front were also hit by arrows. The horses fell to the ground with a crash, stopping the charge of the cavalry in an instant.
pace.
The cavalrymen turned their horses around the horse corpse one after another. They were also shocked by the killer's archery skills hiding behind the snow and wind. They all hesitated in their hearts. Their forward speed was greatly slowed down.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Sun Ran continued to fire arrows in the wind and snow to fight back. He shot three arrows and immediately changed his position to avoid the dark angel Loki's counterattack. In this round of offensive, Sun Ran fired his bow eight times. 2
More than a dozen cavalrymen were killed by arrows!
"Fight back!" A voice finally came from the other side.
"Peng" fired another wave of arrows, and Sun Ran hid behind the wall again. When the opponent's offensive stopped for a while, he came out to fight back again.
The confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce. As the cavalry continued to approach, some shadows could be seen slowly. The shouts of killing and the screams became more and more obvious.
In the alley, on top of the stable.
Gabriel stood quietly, holding a bow and sword, concentrating on guarding the safety of this place.
She also received the notice from the Dragon of Order. In this situation, divine magic can only be used to assist. At the same time, both sides restrained themselves from using plug-ins, and the battle returned to the era of pure cold weapons.
In the stable.
The Son had not yet been born, and the Virgin Mary was still working hard. Listening to the sound of fighting coming from the alley, Joseph said anxiously: "We can't stay here any longer, someone is coming to kill us."
"No, we can't leave now. Maria can't move, otherwise she will die." Athena was also a little anxious.
She could have used a plug-in to help Maria give birth smoothly, but for some reason, the rules of heaven and earth seemed to have changed. She found that she could not mobilize the authority she had used so skillfully before.
Now she is trapped in this body, and this body is very weak. Maybe her consciousness is proficient in martial arts, but her body cannot keep up with her consciousness. So now she is an ordinary old woman, maybe better, but changes
Can't control the situation.
At this time, Gabriel on the roof of the stable also met his opponent.
Because the tall castle on one side of the alley blocked most of the wind and snow, she saw on the other side of the alley, a man also wearing a black robe slowly walked over, holding a sword in his hand.
There is a black aura lingering on it.
When Gabriel saw this man's face clearly, he was shocked and shouted: "Thor, it's you!"
"It's me, Gabriel." A rich voice came over: "We have chosen different paths. I chose to follow Lucifer, not that guy who hides his head and shows his tail."
The sword in his hand pointed at Gabriel: "Frigga, I dare not say anything else. In terms of martial arts, you are no match for me. In this world with blocked authority, you will definitely lose!"
Gabriel turned around to look at the situation at the entrance of the alley.
"Don't look at the alley. Odin himself can't protect himself. His opponent is Loki, and there are nearly eighty cavalry. He has no time to come over before I kill the so-called Holy Son...if he is still alive.
"
Gabriel didn't say anything and took action directly. She rushed a few steps forward from the top of the stable, jumped up, pulled up her long bow in mid-air and shot at Thor.
With a "dang" sound, Thor blocked the incoming arrow with his sword, and then he saw Gabriel falling to the ground and rushing towards him with his sword.
"Haha, Frigga, give up, all your actions are in vain!" Thor stepped forward to meet him.
"Dang~" The two of them were fighting together, their long swords clashing, their swords screaming, and bursting out bright sparks, which looked extremely eye-catching in the night.
The fight only lasted less than three minutes when Gabriel was struck by a sword on her arm. She hurriedly stepped away and at the same time used magic on her hand to press on the wound.
Level three divine power is the only supernatural power she can use.
After a moment, the wound was basically healed and it no longer affected the battle. However, Gabriel no longer rushed back. She planned to fight with the opponent to delay time.
Thor immediately saw through it: "You want to delay time? I don't have the leisure to do so!"
He rushed towards the stable, but Gabriel had no choice but to block his way again and start fighting head-on again.
Only a moment later, Gabriel was struck with a sword on his leg and ribs. The scars were deep enough to show the bones, but she also left a sword mark on Thor's forearm.
Both parties retreated and each used their strength to repair their physical injuries.
At this time, the intensive shouting of killing came from the alley not far away, which was the cavalry that had already rushed forward.
Thor chuckled: "There are so many people, let's see what Odin can do!"
Gabriel also laughed: "This is a narrow alley, and no more than three people can walk side by side. Do you think that with Odin's martial arts, these cavalry can kill him?"
"Don't forget Loki."
"Loki was originally a magician. Although his martial arts skills are better than ordinary people, he is a joke in front of Odin!"
Thor's expression changed slightly: "Then I'll kill you before he comes over!"
He had basically repaired his wounds. He let out a low roar in his throat and rushed towards Gabriel at full speed. Gabriel also rushed forward and tried his best to stop him.
