Chapter 317 Earl

Dang Dang Dang~

The church bells rang.

Rohan City ushered in a new day. The light of dawn shone from the east. After this night, the whole city seemed peaceful and peaceful. The original chaos and panic also dissipated and was washed away by faith.

Linda stood in front of the church, looking at the endless queue on the street. She breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had been busy all night, she didn't feel too tired: "It should be fine now."

After one night of hard work, 1/5 of the people in the entire city, including the legion stationed here, performed the baptism ceremony.

This is much faster than the normal missionary development. It is mainly because of the order from the imperial capital, which is considered a mandatory task, so it goes so smoothly.

As a saint, Linda can clearly feel the changes in the city, which condenses faith and affects everyone in the city.

This belief is upward and peaceful, and can bring infinite hope to people. It is as warm as the morning sun, calming down the originally restless and frightened people in the city.

At this time, Dale hurried to the church, found Linda and said, "According to the latest news, the demon army is less than fifty miles away from Rohan and will probably launch an attack before noon."

This was something that could have been expected. The demon army also arrived as scheduled. Using vision magic, you could see a black mass of demons spreading across the mountains, forests and plains, which made people feel despair.

There are so many demon troops, even if they stand there and let the mage army use magic to bombard them, even if the magic power is exhausted, they may not be able to kill many.

Linda nodded, "Yeah."

Dale hesitated for a moment and asked: "When the demon army launches an attack, what kind of help will the gods provide?"

Linda glanced sideways at him and said mysteriously: "This is not something you need to worry about. Just inform the army in the city to resist the demon army with all their strength. The Lord will protect us."

Dale was not surprised when he heard Linda's words. He felt that this might be a secret in the church. After receiving Linda's affirmative answer, he felt relieved.

The roar of the demon elephant could be heard from a long distance away, coming from the horizon like an announcement of death.

The mage army on the city wall has already prepared a wide range of seven-ring magic. As long as the demon army enters the range, it will start bombarding.

Although the demons all have high magic resistance, the magic of the seventh ring can still cause considerable damage on the battlefield and disrupt the formation.

Bang bang bang~

The first thing that was activated was not the legion's magic, but the giant cannon on the city wall, which fired at the position of the demon army from a long distance away.

The cannon is also driven by magic, but it causes physical damage. The cannonballs are solid iron balls that will split on their own at high altitudes and then scatter. If they hit, they can kill some relatively weak demons. people.

Compared with Vidor, Rohan's defensive power is undoubtedly several times stronger, and it is not without the ability to resist, but there is still little hope of blocking the terrifying demon army.

The demon army was approaching Rohan step by step despite the magic in the sky, without any stagnation in their steps, as if they were indestructible, and the sense of oppression they brought was suffocating.

Especially the huge demon elephant, which is half the height of the city wall, can destroy the city wall with its strength alone.

They must use magic to knock down the demon elephant before it gets close, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before the city is destroyed. If they start a hand-to-hand battle, they will not have the advantage. The human body is relatively weak.

The legion was stationed between the inner and outer city, and the infantry in heavy armor lined up, stretching for several miles, densely packed in every place, ready for battle.

Chilling, depressed.

Many of them understand that today may be the last day of their lives, and they must fight hard to save a chance for those behind them.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

…

The inner city wall command post.

The legion commander, Kalvis, saw Linda and asked in a deep voice: "Holy Lady, how do you need us to cooperate?"

Linda said calmly: "You will carry out normal resistance later, and I will assist you.

Kalvis could only nod. He didn't know much about the church. He only knew that they could get help from the gods in this battle, but it was hard to imagine what kind of help it would be.

Later, Linda rushed to the outermost city wall, her eyes flashing with blazing white light, and she could see the demon army approaching from a distance.

"The Saint is in danger here, or we should retreat. The inner city is protected by magic." Dale couldn't help but say.

The demons also have long-range attack methods. A powerful mage standing in this position may be sniped at any time.

Linda shook her head with firm eyes: "I will take action myself, you don't need to worry. If you are afraid, you can go back first."

Lauren followed behind with a sword in hand: "Don't worry, Lord City Lord, I will ensure the safety of the Saint with my life!"

Dale felt a headache and was very worried that if Linda had an accident here, it might affect the entire battle situation, so he had no choice but to follow her and be ready to protect her at any time.

Linda waved her staff casually, and eighteen blazing white fireballs condensed in front of her. Unimaginable huge magic power emerged from her body. In just a few seconds, each fireball condensed to the size of a house, and then flew out like a meteor. , smashed into the demon army, causing a large-scale explosion.

Dale's eyes widened and he was stunned, marveling at Linda's strength: "I'm afraid this must be as good as a grand mage, but I have never heard that she has become a grand mage..."

Within the explosion range of the fireball, a large area of ​​the demon army was killed and injured, with almost few standing. Moreover, the white flames were still spreading and difficult to extinguish. Even if they were only stained a little, they would be burned to the bones.

Linda's hands trembled slightly as she discovered that the magic she released ignored the magic resistance of the demons and could easily destroy their bodies. "Is this the limitation of the mage?"

Under Linda's attack, there was a brief chaos on the demon side, and the members of the mage army looked over one after another.

The casualties caused by Linda alone were comparable to their entire mage group.

Everyone wants to know how Linda did it. Is it because of the help of gods?

………

Hierro lay on the ground and kept screaming, with blood draining from his body bit by bit. Just when he thought he was about to die, he was lifted up by a hand.

"Where is Count Mel?" Su Changxing asked.

Only then did I realize that Hierro's mind had been slightly distorted, causing some cognitive changes.

This kind of distortion is slight and difficult to detect. If Hierro hadn't been in a state of mental disorder, he probably wouldn't have shown it.

Only then did Hierro look behind Su Changxing and found that the sound of the engine turning had disappeared unconsciously: "Where is that thing?"

"Successfully removed the spirit." Su Changxing smiled slightly.

Hierro showed an incredulous look. They had deceived more than a dozen mages to come here, and none of them was spared. They all died at the hands of that thing.

They didn't know what that thing was. It might be a demon or something else.

"I was ordered by our boss, and there was nothing I could do about it!" Hierro said with a face full of fear. "Our boss had reached a certain agreement with that thing, so he asked us to find a mage to lead us to this place. Eat it."

Most of the so-called mages in this world are foreign players who possess extraordinary abilities, so they are called mages. Their strength is often not as strong as imagined. They may not be able to defeat a group of guards, but they are extraordinary. The mystery brought by his ability is impressive.

Su Changxing asked again: "So where is your boss?"

After knowing that the thing had been eliminated by Su Changxing, Hierro calmed down a little. After all, no matter how scary Su Changxing and the other two were, they were only human beings. "Boss, he has been in the manor this time and has never come out."

Su Changxing patted his shoulder, and the punctured wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Take me to him, I want to have a chat with him."

Hierro got up from the ground and said without hesitation: "No problem."

He felt that since that thing had been removed, there shouldn't be anything left to do. All that was left was to talk about remuneration, and the actual remuneration might be higher than what was agreed before.

But for Count Mel, who owns almost half of the city, these are small things.

Count Mel's manor is far away from the downtown area and covers a large area. Guards can be seen patrolling the streets from a distance.

Under Hierro's leadership, they entered unimpeded and arrived at Count Mel's residence. It didn't look very luxurious. It was just an ordinary mansion with three floors. For a great nobleman, this was extremely luxurious. Simplicity.

"We want to see Count Mel." Hierro said to the butler at the door.

The butler, wearing glasses and white gloves, looked at Su Changxing and Su Changxing carefully, and then said:

"You guys wait here, I'll go report."

"No, I'll go up there myself." Su Changxing stepped forward and pushed the door open. The scene inside was much more luxurious than it looked outside.

There was a burgundy carpet, various artworks, paintings, swords, deer heads, and a half-human statue hanging out of the wall on the wall, which looked extremely incongruous.

"You can't go in! This is the Earl's Mansion!" The housekeeper was about to step forward to intercept him, but when he saw a white light, he couldn't move.

Hierro stepped forward and looked apologetic: "Butler Morris, I'm sorry!"

He raised his hand and hit the butler on the back of the head, knocking him out accurately. Then he followed Su Changxing and said, "The count is on the second floor. I have been on the second floor every time I saw him during this period, but I have never seen him with my own eyes."

Su Chang nodded and asked, "Then how do you communicate?"

Hierro continued: "There is a door."

"You haven't seen each other for a long time?"

"Yes."

Hierro also realized that something was wrong, and seemed to suddenly come to his senses. I am afraid that Count Mel had not reached some kind of intention with that thing, but was more like being controlled!

The carpet had always been clean and tidy, until reaching the second floor, some purple powder appeared, which seemed to be ground into some kind of crystal. It glowed with a faint light, making the atmosphere of the whole room gloomy.

[Purple powder: The energy metabolite of demonic flesh contains mixed high-concentration energy and can be used to replace whale oil as an energy source. 】

"This thing..."

Su Changxing pushed open the door of the count's room. No one was there. There was another room inside, and four oil lamps were lit in the room.

This kind of oil lamp is relatively rare in this era, especially for the nobles, and there is no need to use this method of lighting.

Electric lights are a cleaner and more convenient way of lighting, and they have become popular in most countries as early as half a century ago.

"Who?"

An old voice came from inside.

Su Changxing said bluntly: "Earl, I am the mage who is here to help you remove spirits."

"..."

Silence fell in the room.

"Yerro, didn't you ask to bring the spirit-removing mage to the factory to check the situation? Why did you bring it here?"

Su Changxing showed a smile and answered: "The processing over there has been completed, now we have to proceed here."

A nervous look appeared on Hierro's face, realizing that it might not be the count in the room, but something else, possibly a monster.

Jin walked up and kicked the door open with a rough kick.

The floor in the room was covered with some purple powder. A human or a monster was sitting on the bed, with his lower body spread out like mud. Only his upper body still barely maintained a human shape, and his skin and flesh were still loose.

This man is none other than Count Mel.

Jero Tongkong trembled and showed an incredible look. He had never thought that the count had become like this before: "Isn't this a monster?"

Su Changxing looked calm and had anticipated this scene. He sighed and said, "Earl, you have abandoned your dignity as a noble and bowed to the devil."

The expression on Earl Mel's face became ferocious, and he roared: "What do you know? As a noble, I should live longer. This is just a deal."

"The guards have surrounded this place. Pretend you haven't seen anything. Leave here and I'll let you go."

"Master, don't be ignorant!"

Bang ~

Before he finished speaking, Jin shot him in the head: "What a lot of nonsense!"

Although his head exploded, the count did not fall, and his voice became distorted: "You deserve to die!"

The rest of his body turned into sludge at a faster rate and collapsed on the ground, like a ball of semi-liquid flesh and blood. It looked extremely disgusting, with bones and organs flowing in it.

"What happened to him?" Jin asked, feeling that the count was dead, but his body was still flowing.

Su Changxing explained: "I'm afraid he swallowed a piece of demon meat to extend his life, but he didn't know that this was a way to seek death. His body and soul were distorted and were being assimilated by the demon meat."

Immediately afterwards, he suppressed this space with his domain, hoping to completely obliterate this piece of demonic flesh.

But the surrounding space was distorted and changed one after another, and they were once again thrown into the flesh and blood space. Everything was made of flesh and blood, with dense dark red blood vessels pulsing continuously.

If ordinary people were here, they would probably go crazy...

There was a scream from behind.

Su Changxing looked back and saw that part of Hierro's body had also turned into bright red flesh and blood, being assimilated into this flesh and blood space.

The shape of Mel's body also changed again. The semi-liquid flesh and blood condensed again and turned into a human form. However, the splicing between the limbs was completely wrong. The head was placed on the chest, the positions of the eyes and mouth were reversed, and the body The flesh on it looked like blackened pork.

"Again?"

Su Changxing was startled and realized that this time the opponent was coming with a fierce force. He was probably ready and waiting for him to come to the door. The projected space of the Kingdom of God was more real and stable than before.

"You are looking for death. I didn't expect you to come to me on your own. The majesty of the gods does not allow provocation, god thief!"

Count Mel's eyes radiated black light.
