Release that Witch Chapter 825: Sunset prayer bell
Tucker Thor boarded the thick wall of the new Holy City and walked slowly to the mottled wall stack.
This is probably the most peaceful Months of Demons ever spent after the stronghold city was established.
In order to resist the Evil Beast's attack, no matter how much snow falls in the past, people will clean and de-icing. Therefore, the city wall always maintains its unique turquoise gray, which is particularly eye-catching against the white background. But now, he left a series of footprints in the flat snow.
There are no potholes on the stone slab road, and there are no spots of blood stains immersed in the crevices. All traces of battle are buried by snowflakes, as if nothing had happened, which was absolutely incredible in the past.
It's just that there have been so many upheavals recently that this incredible thing isn't that much of a concern.
I thought that Holy City of Hermes would be stepped on the ground before the Evil Beast wave that swarmed. All the believers were ready to coexist with the cathedral, but they did not expect that few enemies appeared in the snowfield, even climbing. There is no meaning to go up the wall.
Before everyone had time to celebrate, gods showed its impermanence in an extremely cruel way.
Because the Greycastle expedition consumes too much power of the Church, so their first task after the winter is to re-select the three Archbishops and the corresponding high-level personnel. In order to stabilize the order of Holy City and restore the believer's faith in gods at the same time, many young members of the congregation jumped to become backbones. He also became one of the temporary bishops because of the identity of the former presiding judge.
However, as situation improved slightly, the cathedral suddenly collapsed on a windless night, and fell into underground chasm with a group of high-rises, instantly crushing the feeling of avoided a catastrophe for everyone. And he happened to avoid the disaster because he visited camp.
No one knows how it happened. Although it has been heard that a fire broke out in the core area of the church before and was invaded by Evil Beast, they cannot enter Pivotal Secret Institution without the permission of Pope's, even if the agent Pope Tayfun falls. The same goes for unknown.
It can be said that the collapse of the Hermes Cathedral has an even greater impact on Church's than the defeat of the army. The failure of the army can be the cause of the command and the enemy is too cunning, but Tower of Babel, which represents the unyielding will, is a symbol of the spirit of Church. , Its overturn is equivalent to gods has abandoned Church.
Under the precarious situation of situation, such a turn of events has almost become the last straw to overwhelm a horse, even if he blocked the scene for the first time. Residents of Holy City began to flee Hermes. First, a small number of craftsmens and peripheral merchants whose beliefs were not so firm, and then outer and inner urban areas ... Fear spread like an evil epidemic, but no antidote given by God could contain it.
He once organized all the Judgement Army and God's Officer, held a sincere prayer on the city wall, hoping that gods could watch this human fortress again, and don't let the thousands of souls behind him be absorb by the **** power of evil, However, no response has been obtained.
Tucker Thor still remembers that the teachings of Pope Mayne want to fight against evil, and can only rely on strong strength, but in addition to praying to God, he can't think of other ways to stop the broken faith.
"Master Bishop ... you are here," a woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her, "the troops that pursued refugees are back, but ..."
"Several are gone, right?" He turned back and said softly.
The presenter is the surviving Judgement Army commander who now takes over the task of Farina. In her face, Tucker saw some familiar shadows. After thinking about it, she recalled the advance camp samurai who dedicated to Church. Alicia is a rare female Judgement Warrior. They all have the same resolute character, one in teammates. After more than half of the injuries, Evil Beast was able to continue fighting when it approached the cathedral wall; one took over the burden of commanding Judgement Army on the occasion of Church crumbling, and tried to maintain the collapsed situation on the edge of control.
"Yes," Farina stomped angrily. "That group of temporary joining recruits didn't come in handy. There were still more than 20 people when they went out. Only one or two returned, no matter how negligent they were. impossible was killed by refugees. If I can find them, I must call these traitor good-looking! "
"It's inevitable," Tucker sighed, "How many people are left of Judgement Army?"
"A total of 564 people are now guarding the Holy City interior wall. They should be able to stop the residents of the inner city from escaping."
In addition, there are hundreds of famous God Punishment Armys that have not been crushed in the ruins of the church. This is also the last elite left by Church ... He knew in his heart that it was no longer possible for this person to block the attack of Devil. A foregone conclusion.
He knew about this extremely powerful enemy from Your Excellency Mayne. All the efforts made by Church are to preserve humanity when War of Judgement Day arrives, so that the fire of continuity will not go out, so there is such a powerful warrior as God Punishment Army. But this is not enough. Before this war comes, Church must unify Four Great Kingdoms and integrate the strength of all human beings to win.
Now that hope no longer exists, what is the significance of everyone sticking to this plateau stronghold?
He really has little left to do next, but for these 500 people, it may be a relief.
"Go east," Tucker said. "Whether it's Eternal Winter or Wolf Heart, as close to the coast as possible, we can build a new Holy City there."
In this way, even if Devil breaks into Four Great Kingdoms, you can escape from the port to a farther place. If you are lucky, you can live this life safely before humanity is destroyed.
"Leaving Hermes?" Farina froze, "But lord ... when we leave, who will resist Evil Beast?"
"If Evil Beast enters the hinterland of the mainland from a big gap, it is also a crime committed by Greycastle. Church's's top priority is to save power. The cathedral can be rebuilt without the loss, but believers cannot afford to lose it. When Evil Beast floods in Four Great Kingdoms, people will Only then will we remember our strength. "
Evil Beast doesn't matter at all. They are not real enemies. The deadly threat comes from the depths of hell, and you can't do anything about it. The last thing I can do is to keep you as far away from the battlefield as possible in order to protect humanity, you have done enough.
Farina frowned and said, "People who are determined to stay here are willing to live with Holy City. They may not agree to abandon Hermes."
"Your place is Holy City, children. They will agree, as long as you persuade." Tucker paused, "And this is also acting as an Pope's command to save itself and continue Church, understand?"
How much can you go? refugees will soon spread these messages. By then, King of Greycastle may be about to move again.
"I see, sir ... no, Your Excellency." Farina bit his lip, and finally clenched his fists in his chest, bowing and saluting.
At this moment, the grey sky suddenly felt a little yellow. He turned around and saw a gap in the clouds. The orange-red sunset was slowly revealing the shadow, throwing the Dao Xia Guang to the white snowy field. .
"This is ... is Months of Demons over?" Farina showed a touch of joy.
"Yeah, snow will melt soon, so let's tell everyone. If you start preparing now, you can start in two or three weeks."
"Yes, I'll retreat first!" She nodded and ran towards the inner city.
At this moment, the bell ringing to announce the dusk also came from Holy City. Nine beeps bell sound had the meaning of telling the time, and it was also the time when the Christians prayed to gods closed eyes.
But Tucker Thor didn't pray.
Because gods can no longer hear it.
He took off the crown from his head, placed it on the wall stack, and then climbed up to the wall, looking at the sunset in the distance.
He wants one more thing to give up Hermes completely.
Tucker doesn't mind, because this way, he can also stay with those who have fought side by side.
This dusk is not only the sunset of Church's, but also the Sunset of all human beings.
He closed his eyes and dumped himself.
...
Farina heard a slight collision sound behind him, as if something had slipped into the valley.
She turned back and saw that the wall was empty.
The bell of dusk is over
