The sudden epidemic outside the city has further highlighted the criticality of the situation.
Originally, the senior leaders of Haysas only speculated that the witch's companions would come to rescue her, but now it has become a bloody reality.
In just one night, more than a dozen towns were infected with the plague.
The ferocity of these diseases and the violent contagion made the empire's high-ranking officials change their minds when they heard about it.
Ordinary medical officers are completely helpless against the ferocious epidemic, and even they themselves cannot protect themselves from being infected by these diseases. The only way to effectively eliminate plague spores is the Holy Light treatment of the Paladins.
However, for a divine spell like Holy Light Healing, even those level 1 black iron knights who work hard can only cast it five times a day. And for the large number of trainee knights, all the holy power will be exhausted after one cast.
Faced with such a situation, the high-level officials of Haysas could only send out peripheral paladins to villages and towns with severe epidemics to selectively rescue those villagers with the most obvious symptoms and the most severe attacks. But how could they save the scattered water sources?
A prairie fire?
In just one day, the number of people infected with the plague rapidly increased from a thousand to ten thousand, and there were strong signs of spreading to Haisas City.
This completely frightened the top management of Haisas City!
You must know that in Hesas City at this moment, in addition to the deep-rooted and powerful Paladin group, there is also a large number of real-power aristocrats with intricate relationships. Although these aristocrats usually rely heavily on and use the power of the Paladins to maintain their own
rule, but when they themselves faced the threat of the plague, they could not help but produce some voices that were inconsistent with the Paladins.
Many nobles living in Haysas City have requested that the city gates be sealed to prevent those infected with the disease from entering the city. The middle and low-level paladins hope that Haysas City can accept more refugees and protect them.
Under the glory of the great Holy Light.
The nobles and paladins, who usually cooperated well, had a serious conflict of ideas for the first time, and even a small 'misunderstanding' broke out near the gate of Haysas City!
For a time, the city of Hysas was in chaos, and even the Holy Light Chapel was besieged by low-level nobles.
After some behind-the-scenes deals and negotiations, the Haysas nobles reluctantly agreed to open the Dongcheng District to the refugees coming from all directions. The Holy Light Chapel also dispatched a certain number of paladins to the noble district to ensure that the plague would not
spread to the area.
Therefore, Greem was also lucky enough to become the personal bodyguard that some great nobles were vying to win over!
In addition to these disturbances, the Holy Light Chapel also stepped up its time to torture the captured witch.
From her mouth, the Holy Light Chapel quickly obtained detailed information and information about the other two wizards, and sent a large group of black iron knights to search and capture possible wizard remnants in nearby villages and towns.
Of course, in view of the terrible record of the level 3 fire wizard, the Holy Light Chapel also dispatched two level 3 gold knights and led a large number of level 2 silver knights to various places. In this way, once traces of the wizard are found somewhere, they will also
Can be strangled nearby.
And in this way, the powerful force gathered in the Holy Light Chapel was divided invisibly!
However, the conspiracy arranged by Greem apparently "fired at the city gate and affected the pond fish", actually forced another deeply concealed deceitful witch to come out.
It can be seen that the third-level deceitful witch named Itariel has also lurked in the outskirts of Haysas City, and seems to have the same wishes as Greem. Unfortunately, due to mutual distrust, she obviously was unable to contact him in time.
Grim.
Therefore, during the plague offensive launched by Greem, a large number of black iron knights dispatched in cooperation with the local village guards unexpectedly found this Itariel.
The two sides fought fiercely in a place called Redwood Village, and the third-level Itariel even showed off his power, frantically killing the Paladin team and nearly a hundred villagers in Redwood Village.
This is a hornet's nest!
The paladins who were holding back an unknown fire gathered near Redwood Village, and even the two golden knights who were out to guard quickly arrived there.
It has to be said that there is no weak person who can become a third-level witch, not to mention Itariel is also a famous tower master among deceitful witches. Rena brought her here this time because she wanted to use her powerful force.
It's a pity that they were separated during the time travel. Otherwise, with the protection of Itariel, Rena would not have ended up in such a miserable end.
How could such a powerful witch be forced back by a group of natives!
As a result, surrounding the city of Hysas, the Itariel witch played guerrilla warfare with a group of swarming paladins. With the deceitful witch's extraordinary transformation and lying abilities, Itariel was like an elusive figure.
The ghost appears in a completely different form every time.
And she also deliberately avoided the two golden knights and targeted the silver and black iron knights. Therefore, in the three-day "cat-and-mouse game", she killed everyone with just one person.
Got dozens of Paladins of level 1 and above.
Due to the heavy pressure of reality, the Holy Light Chapel in Haysas City had to send another golden knight to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the witches.
With three against one, the Paladins finally caught an excellent opportunity and surrounded Itariel in a place called Haifeng Town. There were thousands of people there, and Itariel relied on his transformation skills to
Hiding among them also made the Paladins' encirclement and suppression more difficult.
After being lurking in Haisas City for five days, Greem finally got an excellent opportunity to take action.
There are only two golden knights left guarding the Holy Light Chapel.
The witch Reina was imprisoned in a secret confession room in the chapel, guarded by a third-level golden knight named Kennett. As for the witch formation materials, according to Greem's exploration and analysis during this period, there were ten
Seven or eight are kept in the hands of another paladin commander named Lambert.
And he is also a level 3 golden knight!
Two golden knights, one guarding the witch and the other keeping the materials, this division of labor is in line with the effect of risk sharing. Therefore, Greem did not hesitate to start the long-planned raid plan!
…………
It's night.
Inside the city of Haysas.
In a luxurious room located in the aristocratic district in the west of the city, Grim opened the wooden window with ease.
The night sky is low, the stars are dim, and the moonlight cast down has a faint trace of blood.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Lord Jedrick, it's dinner time!" the maid's voice came from outside the door.
"Tell your master that I will pray to the Holy Light all night tonight. I will not have dinner, and no one will be allowed to come in and disturb me!" Grim refused in a stern voice.
"yes!"
With the sound of gentle footsteps, silence returned outside the door.
Greem raised his head, looked at the bloody night sky, stretched out a finger, and slowly began to condense the fire element in the air.
The dense red fire element was peeled off from the colorless and transparent void and gathered at Greem's fingertips. It also made the small section at the front become hotter and brighter, with a strong tendency to burst into flames.
.
At this moment, an invisible but tangible strange force emerged in the void above Greem's head, and began to slowly reach towards his location.
Holy enchantment!
The fire elements at Greem's fingertips have gathered to a limit threshold. If they are just a little more, they will instantly explode into a cluster of real elemental flames. At that time, the sacred barrier covering the entire Haisas City will also
will be triggered, thus attracting the attention of the Holy Knights of the Holy Light Chapel.
It has to be said that although the paladins of Enverk plane follow the path of faith, the magical power they control is only a single holy light. However, thousands of years of continuous immersion in it have allowed them to explore
Some completely alternative ways of using Holy Light.
For example, the sacred barrier that covers the entire city of Haysas is one of them!
Utilizing the sensitivity and exclusivity of the Holy Light, Haysas propped up a huge sacred barrier. Inside this barrier, any active or passive condensation of magic elements would trigger the barrier to counterattack. Fortunately, Greem just
The fire element was condensed on a small scale without allowing it to transform into real flame witchcraft.
Otherwise, even some apprentice-level witchcraft will trigger the counterattack of the sacred enchantment.
In addition to being able to monitor and sense changes in magical energy, this sacred barrier can also create a single elemental environment inside. This is actually a trap left by the Paladins for wizards.
Once a wizard relies on his own strength and breaks into Hesas City, the paladins who preside over the sacred magic circle at the Holy Light Chapel can change the barrier from invisible to explicit. At that time, within the entire Hesas City
It will ban other magical elements except Holy Light.
And this is probably extremely terrifying for the alien wizards who are trapped in a tight siege!
Therefore, in addition to snooping for news these days, Greem has been constantly testing the reaction and operating mechanism of this sacred barrier. After the chip senses and detects its power fluctuations, the location of the sacred magic circle has been basically determined.
.
If Greim wants to break into the Holy Light Chapel, he must first break this sacred barrier.
Otherwise, he would not do such a stupid thing, fighting two level 3 golden knights under the suppression of the sacred barrier.
Greem clarified his thoughts in the bloody moonlight, and re-examined the entire battle plan in his mind to make sure there were no flaws, and then issued an attack order to somewhere in the distance.
Although the sacred barrier is very sensitive to magical elements, it obviously cannot block the secret connection between souls.
Therefore, under Greem's command, the poisonous plague spirit Remy who had been lurking outside Haisas City finally took action! (To be continued)
