Rumble, rumble, rumble! The whole city is shaking, and the St. Peter's Cathedral in front of Arthur and his party is gradually collapsing amidst the shaking!
This ancient building, which existed in the fourth century AD and has a history of thousands of years, was originally part of the cultural heritage of the Vatican. The building with a strong ancient Greek style was supported by a large number of columns. It was originally extremely stable and could not be shaken by ordinary earthquakes.
It's not the slightest bit.
However, the current earthquake is unusual. Something huge emerges from the bottom of the cathedral. It has damaged the foundation of the cathedral as it rises. The ground is collapsing, and the cathedral is collapsing.
Nature will be destroyed along with it!
Seeing the St. Peter's Cathedral crumbling in front of him, anyone who knows its historical and cultural value would be shocked, but Arthur was not moved at all. Instead, he was surprised by something else.
The thing rising from the ground was not as simple as a building, nor was it a trap. Arthur only glanced at the edge of the floating thing and immediately recognized its essence.
That's a ship.
To be more precise, it is an airship, an anti-gravity airship, or even a larger anti-gravity battleship.
This is obviously not a technology that people of this era should have. It should have stayed in Arthur's original world nine hundred years ago, and its existence was erased by the effect of the [Holy Grail]. Why does this kind of thing actually appear here?
, why is it in the hands of the church?!
No, instead of being surprised, the most important thing to do now is------
The King of Knights immediately jumped out of the carriage, intending to jump out and climb onto the anti-gravity airship that was gradually rising into the sky. But Johnny Zuster grabbed Arthur from behind and shouted: "No, Yas."
Mr. Lan! The ground is collapsing, we have to retreat!"
"Don't block me, I can------" Arthur originally knew that with his feet and agility, he should just be able to use the part of the ground in front of him that had not collapsed, rush over and jump on the boat, but he was forced
With this pull, Ni missed that momentary opportunity. The ground in front collapsed, and the rubble of the building also collapsed, raising a large amount of sand dust and shock waves, making it impossible to get close!
"Damn it!" Arthur was full of confidence in his own skills, but he was not blindly convinced. He knew that if he missed the opportunity, he would not be able to do things that cannot be achieved by human power. If he rushed over and tried to board the ship now, he would only be crushed to death by the rubble.
Or just fall into the deep pit left by the collapse of the foundation below!
Johnny whipped the horse, causing the carriage to instantly turn around, accelerate, and escape. The ground was rapidly collapsing behind the carriage, as if a hungry beast wanted to swallow the carriage into its bloody mouth!
"Oh my God!" Verne looked at all this from the back of the carriage. He saw St. Peter's Basilica turned into a pile of worthless rubble, and a huge ship emerged from the ground and rose into the air. He
She was so surprised and excited that she flushed: "This is the benefit of going on adventures with you. No mortal can encounter so many wonderful things in his lifetime!"
"You know how to play!" Arthur was already a little angry because Johnny blocked him from getting on the boat. When he heard Verne say this again, he inevitably cursed angrily.
Verne stuck out his tongue and didn't reply.
"But are they crazy?" Bayoletta said, looking at the collapsed cathedral: "Hide that kind of spaceship underground? An ancient building with a history of thousands of years is destroyed like this?"
"That ship is not the technology of this era." Arthur said bluntly, "The church has already mastered that level of technology. I guess it is not difficult for them to repair a building."
Maybe that building was a forgery from the beginning, and the real St. Peter's Basilica has been hidden somewhere else by the church using certain techniques. No wonder the number of guards at the main entrance of the Basilica is pitifully small, because it was originally a trap.
part!
In the west of the city, a large number of sea beasts and the fleet of the [Holy Girl Sect] also landed. The sea beasts began to destroy the coastline indiscriminately, and the troops on the fleet also fought with the ground troops of the church after landing.
, the sound of killings was heard one after another. They naturally also noticed the floating spaceship (actually, although it was unclear due to the thick smoke everywhere, Arthur looked at the size of the ship, it was more like a large battleship
!) and began to move towards the spacecraft.
But in the end, Arthur could already guess that the ground forces had nothing to do with the large anti-gravity battleships. The most that could attack the battleships was the crimson wave cannon of the sea beasts, which may not pose a threat to the battleships.
In the past, Great Britain's battleships, even the smallest assault ships, had the ability to deal with dozens of giant sea beasts alone. According to the specifications, the sea beasts' crimson wave cannons could not penetrate the assault ship's protective shield at all!
What's more, the shape of this battleship doesn't seem small. And why? As the smoke dissipates, its outline looks more and more familiar------
The unique shape of this bridge...could this be the ancient artifact secretly hidden by the Elephants, Skid Plattney's Ark?!
With a total length of more than a thousand feet, the ancient God-human race's Dreadnought-class battleship actually fell into the hands of the church!?
Now it has not emerged from the ground as a whole battleship, only part of it has been exposed. If it completely rises into the air, it will tear a huge gap in the ground of the entire Vatican.
Just seeing a corner of the Ark, Arthur knew that there was no chance of winning in this battle. The troops of the Saint Faction could not attack the Ark at all, even if all the sea beasts on the scene opened fire at the same time, using crimson wave cannons to focus on the people on the Ark.
One thing, their power is completely unable to penetrate the protective shield of ancient artifacts!
"Get outside the city quickly!" Arthur shouted.
"I know I have to escape, but what should I do after I escape?" Johnny also shouted. There were deafening slashing sounds everywhere on the battlefield, and there were also huge vibrations coming from the ground, which made people's ears tired.
"Anyway, let's get out first," Arthur subconsciously touched his earlobe, "I have a way to board the ship, but I need enough space."
"Okay!" Johnny sped up, driving the carriage like a chariot, and rushed towards the city gate. They came from that direction when they came, and there was a large group of pursuers behind them. Now they went back the same way.
Naturally, the group of pursuing soldiers were also blocking the road. The soldiers guarding the city didn't seem to notice the crumbling ground behind the carriage. They thought the carriage was just fleeing this way and tried to block it.
So Arthur continuously threw bricks made of [gold powder], using their explosion to open the way. Now there is no need to warm up the [gold powder], just use as much as you can!
Verne and Bayoletta also fired continuously, killing the enemies on both sides of the front one by one. Even Joey used the crystal flying knife prepared for him by Arthur to attack, using his precise throwing knife throwing skills along the way.
Dozens of soldiers were brought down.
At this time, the group of demi-human young people from [Shadow Clan] also circled around the sides of the carriage. They started running faster than the carriage. They also understood the intention of Arthur and others to escape from the city.
While running quickly, they used the scimitars in their hands to chop down the enemy troops in front to clear the way for the carriage!
The carriage forced its way through a bloody path, and when it rushed near the city gate, the two horses pulling the carriage were already covered in blood, some from the enemy, and some from bleeding caused by the horses being scratched by various arrows. But they still completed their mission.
, a leap took the carriage across the moat!
Pound!! About thirty yards away from the city, the carriage could no longer bear the tossing and fell apart. The two horses fell to the ground, causing the entire carriage to overturn, and everyone in the carriage nimbly jumped back and forth.
Go out, roll out a good distance on the ground and stop!
"Well..." Arthur got up and patted the dust on his body: "Is everyone not injured?"
"It's okay." Verne also rubbed his sore shoulders. There was only a slight scratch on his arm, nothing serious. The soldiers on the other side of the city wall watched the carriage tip over and began to fire arrows here, so Arthur
After the others immediately hid in the carriage, they used it as a bunker to counterattack. Verne had already released the [Legion---Lance Formation], and under the fierce attack of the golems with a series of crossbows, there was no movement on the other side of the city wall.
Even part of the city wall collapsed due to the powerful large crossbow arrows.
"They won't be chasing you for the time being." Johnny looked at the group of soldiers near the city gate and said, "But what should we do next? There's no way to keep wasting it here?"
Arthur also glanced at the city gate. The group of soldiers could not catch up because they could not cross the moat, but a huge shadow was emerging behind them. The huge anti-gravity battleship had completely risen from hiding underground.
Float into the air!
The shape is indeed that of Skid Plattney's Ark, and it is indeed controlled by the church.
This battle cannot be fought unless Arthur and the others can board the battleship. The artifacts of the ancient protoss cannot be shaken by just a few sea beasts. No matter how hard they struggle, they will not be able to defeat Skid Platney in the end.
You can't even make a scratch on the ark!
Arthur reached out and touched his earlobe. There, the old dragon Patunas once left a token, a small bean-sized thing similar to a gold earring.
"You are watching all this in secret, right, Patunas?" The King of Knights suddenly said: "The power the church possesses is no longer at a level that we can compete with. If you are willing to lend me your power, now
It’s time. If it’s any later, everything will be in vain.”
Arthur was telling the truth, and he believed Paarthurnas was listening.
After about ten seconds, the old dragon's voice came from the earrings: "Hahahahaha. You are right, King of Knights."
So this cunning old dragon really observes everything through his earrings.
"Who are you talking to?" Bayoletta asked.
Arthur made a "Shh!" gesture to indicate not to interrupt.
"Take me to the deck of that ship." The Knight King added: "If we can enter that ship, we will have a way to wipe out all the top leaders of the church. They overlook everything from the sky and think they are invincible, but in fact they are
It’s also a turtle in a urn.”
Patunas replied, "Throw the token in the open. You may want to stay away from it."
The small earring that Arthur couldn't take off suddenly turned into a small golden bead and fell off his earlobe. King Arthur threw it into the open space aside and signaled his companions to stay away from it.
The moment the bead hit the ground, a subspace channel opened.
The old dragon Patunas, who was wearing gray and black old dragon scales but was wily and cunning, emerged from the transmission channel with a proud smile on his face: "Then, let us make a big fuss." (Unfinished)
