Coventry is the core of the Church of the Scythe Bearers in the Navia Peninsula, and is naturally one of the most important military targets of the monastery.
Unlike secular wars, the reason why the monastic legions attacked cities and conquered territories was to eliminate the Scythe Bearer believers and the Scythe Bearer Church wizards, so they had no interest in these territories and so-called wealth.
Therefore, since the beginning of the war, the regiments belonging to the monastery have not defended the city. Once captured, they will carry out massacres. After that, they will collect food and grass to replenish their troops and continue to advance. They will start a prairie fire like a nomadic people's tactics.
Suddenly, Julian remembered what Ian said about the ruins of the Wizard Tower, and asked: "Are you planning to stay and explore? The church has been rooted in the River Spirit for so many years. If there is really something down there, it would have been evacuated long ago.
Already."
Shirley replied: "We thought about this later, but Ian wanted to know if this underground space leads to the church over there."
"No wonder Ian asked me to dig a tunnel for his engineers!" Shirley woke up the man in his dream. Julian immediately realized that although the magic circle isolated the inner and outer cities and made it difficult for them to pass, if they could send people from the underground space,
Christie can never escape.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked Yuriga to send manpower to Ian to dig the tunnel faster.
We're stuck here for a week anyway, so it's always good to do something.
I don't know how long it took River Spirit to build the city. The underground city is simply more complicated than the above-ground city, like an underground maze.
After the wizards searched carefully, they finally discovered the passage into the underground. However, the deepest point was only about 1,200 yards, so Ian asked Julian to send people to continue digging downwards.
During this period, Christie came to investigate countless times, but was blocked by everyone who was always vigilant.
In the early morning of the fifth day, when most of the believers had left the River Spirit one after another, the soldiers who worked day and night finally dug out the underground space. The wizards who had been waiting for a long time briefly explored and found no danger before hanging into the ground one after another.
Julian left Yuri and Lina to guard the army, while he led the others into it.
Sheen was left on the ground mainly to maintain contact and to resist Christie's exploration. The more important reason is that Sheen has not experienced much actual combat and is not very strong. It is difficult for him to survive in the crisis-ridden ruins.
Survive.
The underground world is a dark world and a dangerous world.
Like a dense forest, sharp stone stalactites hang upside down from the top of the rock and may fall off at any time, making people afraid to lose their concentration.
This place seems to be connected to the outside world. In the darkness, there is always a strong wind blowing by, and the sound of gurgling is coming from afar, so the air does not appear to be foul-smelling or poisonous.
The ground is very flat, with no other characteristics other than cold and damp. Perhaps because of the dripping stalactites above their heads, the ground is slippery. It is very difficult for the wizards to walk. They need the help of the knights to prevent them from falling.
fall.
The spiritual power of several people has been explored, and the mermaid statue in the distance is the energy source of this magic circle.
Behind the mermaid statue, there were seven foundations piled with rubble and rows of illuminated brass lampposts. These signs all made them feel excited.
Those who have seen the ruins of the Boneyard know very well that this is the architectural style of the Magic Academy.
"Sure enough, it is the ruins of the Magic Academy!" Several people were excited but also alert, "Everyone, be careful!"
In order to avoid being noticed by Christie, Ian took out the invisibility cloak and covered everyone, and then slowly approached the mermaid statue with the support of the lord knights.
"Mr. Hyde, I have a bad feeling!" Alfred said suddenly, startling everyone. He only heard him say, "It seems to be very dangerous here, we still
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Let’s go!”
Julian knew his identity as a vampire and thought he sensed something, so he asked nervously: "What, did you sense the danger?"
Before Elfo could answer, Will next to him sensed a sudden change in the temperature of his chest, but he himself had no idea about it. Vampires are the most sensitive race to blood temperature. Even they themselves are not.
There will never be a situation where changes cannot be noticed, the only situation is when some mysterious situation is involved.
And Will happened to know what kind of secret Elfo had, and he suddenly said with joy: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm safe this time! Hahaha!"
"What do you mean by that?" Julian was confused.
But Ian remembered that Alfo once introduced his talent, and immediately figured out the reason for Will's joy.
"Mirror curse?" the three wizards said in unison, and then saw Will smiling and nodding vigorously, obviously they were right.
When the knights were confused, Will explained to Julian: "Alfo has a talent. Sometimes his feelings will be completely opposite to the reality. Just like now, the more dangerous he feels, the more dangerous he actually is.
The safer it is. On the contrary, if he thinks we are going to get lucky, then we must be careful, because we will be unlucky and die."
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped and stared at Alfo with strange eyes, exclaiming in surprise: "Is it so magical?"
Will grinned and said: "This guy is so magical, otherwise he wouldn't have caused a war between the monastery and the church..."
"What did you say?" The newly surrendered lords and knights were shocked. This vampire turned out to be the culprit of the war? How is that possible?
Ian coughed, not wanting to increase Alfo's sense of guilt, and interrupted them: "It's almost dawn, hurry up and get there... Also, you don't need to pay attention to what this guy is talking about."
After speaking, he kicked Will to signal him to stop talking. Will then noticed that Alfo's expression was stiff and slightly sad, so he said nothing more.
But on the other side, Will sent a message to the team: "Every time the mirror curse takes effect, the tombstone tattoo on his chest will increase the body temperature nearby. We vampires are very sensitive to changes in biological bodies. I just felt it."
Changes, that’s why I say that.”
The three of them understood and had the same expressions.
Sure enough, they did not activate the trap when they approached the ruins of the Magic Academy, and arrived at the periphery of the mermaid statue smoothly. The mermaid statue was obviously the energy source of the magic circle. As long as they could destroy it, the magic circle would be self-defeating.
.
But at the same time, they also discovered a tunnel connected to the church. Through there, they could reach the ground and enter the church protected by a magic circle.
"Do you want to deal with Christie first? This passage seems to lead directly to the church!" Julian asked. Although he is the commander-in-chief, he will definitely not ignore the opinions of his own wizards when dealing with wizards.
As an array mage, Shirley's understanding of magic arrays is far superior to anyone else. She said: "When they were assassinating before, Christie was able to react immediately and cast the defensive barrier close to her body. This shows that her knowledge of magic arrays is better than
I am much higher, and with the level of this magic circle, unless I can gain partial control, there is no hope of success in the assassination."
And Ian waited for her to finish speaking, then said: "Maybe I can give it a try. As long as she is within 100 yards and she is a gifted person, I have a 90% chance of success." His Void Spirit Devouring talent has not yet been achieved so far.
He has never met an opponent, which makes him very confident.
"Ninety percent, you can give it a try." Julian immediately made a decision after hearing this, "You stay here, Ian and I will go up. Even if we fail, we can leave." Assassinations are not a thing of the past.
There is strength in numbers. After thinking about it, he felt that just two people would be enough, as many people would make it easier to do bad things.
"Besides I
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Everyone will follow Shirley’s instructions while she’s away!”
After he finished speaking, he and Ian broke away from the team and quickly walked into the tunnel with their invisibility cloak. They acted decisively and without any sloppiness.
Shirley glanced at Alfo, and finally led the team into the path under the street lights. The two teams each carried out their own tasks.
The blue mermaid statue not far away gradually dimmed, but because it dimmed so slowly, no one noticed it.
Ian and Julian walked quickly in the passage. I wonder if Christie was busy evacuating the believers. She had not used her mental power to scan their movements for a long time, so the invisibility cloaks above their heads seemed a bit redundant.
After more than ten minutes, they arrived on the ground.
There were only two junior knights guarding the exit. After Ian made sure there was no one else, Julian stepped out and quickly clicked twice on their throats.
The two knights with fighting spirit groaned and fainted without even seeing their figures clearly.
"The laws of planes may have alerted Christie, so I didn't kill them." Julian explained, while supporting the two of them with weapons, pretending to be standing guard.
In just a few actions, his image as an assassin became extremely professional.
Ian hummed, and the two of them moved on.
At this point, Ian no longer dares to use mental power casually, because Christie is a talent comparable to Shirley, and he is also an array mage. His induction of mental force fields is much keener than ordinary wizards, so they can only rely on Zhu
Leanne uses his five senses to search for Christie's location.
The five senses of the Lord Knight are already at the limit of human beings. The breath, heartbeat, and smell of body fluids of all creatures within half a mile cannot be hidden from the Lord Knight.
This is also the reason why Ian and Jasmine were deceived and almost died in Appleton.
The layout of the church had long been imprinted on their minds, so they didn't take the wrong path.
At this time, most of the River Spirit believers had evacuated the city, and the church was extremely busy.
The priests and apprentices were loading the classics and land personnel information, and the soldiers of the Guards were assisting. Julian, who was hiding in the shadows of the corner, suddenly pointed to the main body of the building in the center, the church with the towering spire, and squirmed his lips and said: "In
There!" He raised four fingers and then pulled one back.
Ian understood what he meant: there were four people at the target, 300 yards away
"Let's go!" Ian slowly moved his position without thinking, and the two of them quietly approached the target.
At this time, Christie was discussing the retreat with the Inquisition's ninth-level herrscher and gifted wizard Simon. She wanted to ask the Inquisition to help the church preserve the wealth that it had no time to transport away. In return, the Inquisition would not only be able to obtain part of the wealth, but also the church in the future.
After the counterattack, we will promise to do our best to cooperate with their work.
This promise holds great weight for the River Spirit, who has absolute control over the church. No matter how the fight between the monastery and the church turns out, the Tribunal's judgment of the situation is that the monastery will eventually leave, and the church will still return here in the end.
This is a judgment based on the strength of the church. They obviously do not believe that the monastery can exterminate a spiritual force.
And if the Judicial Tribunal wants to carry out its work normally in this city, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
Therefore, Simon also came to Christie's door in person before she left to discuss the details of the agreement with her, and also wanted to get more benefits.
The invisibility cloak is indeed a third-level magic item produced by the monastery. Both of them touched it outside the church door. Christie did not notice anything unusual. At this moment, she was arguing with Simon and was unwilling to give more benefits.
Across the thick wall, Ian took out the Ascending Steps. The two sides were now only separated by a wall, within 100 yards.
