Chapter 635

"Crack!"

After the thunder-like sound, "Viper's Kiss" seemed to shake off some kind of shackles, and a violent "spiritual shock" was mixed in the sweeping waves, causing the cardinals who were closer to stare at each other. …

This shock didn't have much impact on the clergy with high mental resistance, but the emotions and side effects it brought caused a lot of cold sweat to break out of their backs. But as the initiator and host of the entire magic circle, the pope's body shook at this moment, and he spit out a mouthful of blood...

"Protect Your Majesty the Pope!"

Amidst the exclamations, the pale pope was supported back into the church, while the remaining cardinals had no choice but to step forward, because after the shield shattered, the enemy's attack on the inner city had begun again. Before they reached the inner city wall, they saw more than a dozen nimble guys climbing up with weapons in hand!

These powerful "Shadow Blade" elites faced the five or six-meter-high inner city wall without using ladders. Although the high-level temple guards who resisted head-on were strong, they were still not enough to face such elites. Look, one face to face was cut down, which led to the ordinary soldiers following behind to climb the city wall smoothly.

At present, there are not many soldiers in the inner city. Except for the soldiers, those who stay in the inner city are basically clergymen. But now, even the cardinals have to roll up their sleeves to fight hand-to-hand, and the other bishops and priests can't back down. But they Where can it compare to a profession with stronger attack power like an elementalist?

Without the cover of enough soldiers, these priests have almost no defense at all. When facing the ferocious "Viper Cross" elite who rushed over, they were basically massacred by one side...

The bishop who fell from the city wall screamed and fell to his death, but the truly powerful Holy See guards in the inner city were beyond their reach. After they were separated into a group, they were all dragged on the city wall at this time. They could only watch helplessly as the enemy tore through the defense line by relying on their numerical superiority, and entered the inner city like wolves and sheep...

The average level of cardinals is more than 20 advanced levels, and four of them are more than 30 levels. They are the characters who can really exert enough attack power with divine arts. Therefore, in the face of the enemies rushing into the inner city, these old guys used their cards one after another, and the sound of the scroll being torn was heard endlessly. Among them, the three cardinals who were born as "ascetic monks" and "holy knights" even blocked the opponent's attack with their bodies. Charge and cooperate to stop the vicious enemy.

However, eight powerful cardinals, including Moloch, had been dispatched to support the outer city. At this time, they were really fighting alone, without even a reserve team.

The number of enemies pouring in from the city wall quickly exceeded 50 people. These elites did not fight with the guards of the Holy See at all, and went directly down the city wall one by one and came straight to them!

Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of despair: Rosicrucian...is it going to be destroyed like this?

At this time, the Pope in the church,

Then he walked with a gray face. His strength is advanced level 48, and it stands to reason that he is currently the most powerful person in the entire temple, but before the "kiss of the viper" drove the ascetic who guarded it crazy, in order to forcibly seal this artifact, he has already paid for it. It paid a huge price for a 20% decline in strength within half a year.

Forcibly opened the "Holy Shield", but was smashed from the inside by the "Viper's Kiss", which caused most of the magic power to be absorbed, and the backlash caused him serious injuries. At this time, almost even walking would cause violent internal organs. pain.

The servant beside him supported him with a pale face, and wanted to say something, but he waved his hand to block him: "There is no way out now, we can only go there."

The inner city was destroyed, in fact, it has been announced that the "Rosie Cross" has been breached. Over the years, the rivalry between the two rivals has always been confined to the edge of their respective powers, but they never thought that they would be fatally hit by the opponent at this time. Now that I think about it, my decisions over the years have been mixed with too many emotions of "belittling" the opponent. What is the use of accountability? What's the use of regretting?

The only thing he can do is to destroy the "Viper's Kiss" before the enemy finds it!

The "Destroy" option "Rosicrucian" had actually been considered a long time ago, but faced with such a "trophy" that can be used to show off its achievements, the Cardinals did not decide to destroy it in the end, but kept it and tried to use it.

To put it bluntly, they didn't think that the other party had the guts to seize it. Even more because of the greed in their hearts, they are unwilling to give up this "artifact". With Sally awakening before them, "Rose Cross" has already determined in their hearts that this "artifact" should belong to them...

What if the artifact can be used by oneself?

Looking at it now, with his own greed and carelessness in front, how can he blame the opponent's vicious attack?

The behavior of the "Viper Cross" is also in line with its name. It has been dormant for a long time, calm and composed, and in the end it will be a fatal blow if it does not make a move...Even the Pope never thought that the other party would actually rush. Into the "Holy Temple", and even pushed himself to this point!

Pushing open the door, he stepped down. The road leading to the basement was deep and cool, and most of the bishops in charge of guarding inside had been transferred away due to the sudden fighting, and the only two remaining bowed down to salute the Pope. And he didn't care about returning the gift, and pushed open the last door, aiming directly at the "Viper's Kiss" floating in the center of the room.

But at this moment, a few short shouts suddenly came from behind, followed by the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

The Pope turned his head, but saw Elvis, the Elder of the "Viper Cross", who was dressed in black, pulled out the dagger that had pierced the bishop's chest. Behind him, the two servants and the two bishops had fallen to the ground dead.

Killing four people in the blink of an eye, the powerful assassination ability is undoubtedly highlighted here. After pulling out the dagger, he went straight to the Pope without any nonsense. The distance of ten meters was crossed in an instant, and the dagger shimmering with faint blue light "clicked" to shatter the shield that appeared in the air!

"Boom!"

The scepter in the pope's hand swung sideways, and the invisible explosive force blasted Elvis out. At this time, he played all his cards. In order to stop this dangerous assassin, the pope activated the "divine blessing" possessed by the scepter in his hand. , and cast the scrolls one by one, trying to kill Elvis.

However, Elvis also carried the scroll gifted by Pope Daze of "Viper's Cross", and it was shining brightly. He managed to avoid the attack in front of him in various ways, and even made the Pope show his weakness!

But Pope Peter is strong after all, it is difficult for Elvis to pose a threat to him without a surprise attack. However, he knew that he was not here to fight, and as he kept stepping back, he had already come to the side of "Viper's Kiss".

The "Holy Shield" in the inner city was broken just now. The main reason is that this scepter absorbed the magic power of the Pope and the Cardinals with astonishing power. The barrier that the Pope imprisoned himself was broken...

Therefore, the scepter at this moment has no protection or restriction. When it was suspended in the air, the violent mental shock caused the Pope who had just approached it to appear in a trance for a moment. However, the Pope gritted his teeth and was not confused by it at all. After the divine power condensed in the palm of his hand, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and while holding the scepter, the other hand "bang" away the approaching Elvis, and at the same time drank: "You will never get it !"

Elvis did not continue to attack, he stared at the Pope with cold eyes, and could hear the whispers of the "Viper's Kiss" in his ears. However, as a strong man, he was also not bewitched by the scepter, but took out another scarlet magic crystal with a sneer, and threw it suddenly:

"Really?"

The three snake heads on the Viper's Kiss originally screamed to resist the power of Pope Peter, but when the magic crystal was thrown by Elvis, their six eyes all fixed on the red spar. For this reason, the Pope exuded a light red light. Knowing that things had changed, he could only use all his strength to urge the force to destroy the internal structure of the scepter.

"Kara!"

The surface of the scepter was distorted by the divine force, and a large crack appeared in an instant. Then the entire scepter began to appear scorched black under this force, as if an invisible flame was scorching.

The Pope was sure, and he stretched out his other hand, and he was about to break the stick after holding it with both hands. But then he was horrified to find that... the suspended scepter in his hand was actually fighting against him!

Not only resisted, the Pope watched helplessly as the snake head at the top of the scepter grabbed the magic crystal in one bite, and then the three snake heads opened their mouths and bit the crystal stone at the same time as if wrapped in twists, a powerful aura erupted suddenly Come. Pope Peter's expression changed, and he exerted force with his hands again, but he felt that what he was holding was no longer a cold scepter, but a red-hot soldering iron!

Accompanied by the scorching heat, the surface of the scepter changed rapidly: the original cracks peeled off, revealing the real scepter body full of strange patterns underneath. The special magic crystal bitten by the three snake heads burst into light, and then the pope felt a violent mental shock that made his mind go blank, and the severe pain made him grunt, "den den den" took three steps back, Uncontrollably let go of the scepter with both hands...

The "artifact" of complete awakening is simply not something the already injured pope can handle.

Elvis knew he couldn't leave with this artifact, but he was already prepared. At this time, the purple gloves he was wearing were made of three layers of adult "Kazela" animal skins. This kind of monster is extremely rare and difficult to catch, because its animal skin has a powerful effect similar to "magic immunity", so he While pinching the scepter, he pulled out another piece of "Kazela Beast" skin from his waist, covered the shining scepter, picked up the scepter and stepped back!

At this time, the Pope had recovered from the mental shock just now, but when he raised his hand and tried to cast a magic spell to leave Elvis behind, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell directly. fell to the ground.

The moment he was attacked by the scepter, all his mana was drained, and his body and mind were severely injured at the same time. If he had known in advance that there would be this battle, the cards accumulated over the years with the "Rose Cross" would definitely keep the enemy behind. Where did he prepare so many magic equipment and props? I can only watch Elvis exit the secret room like a wind and disappear from sight...

Obviously, the "Cross Viper" did not intend to kill the Pope. The purpose of this raid was to take away the scepter. If the high-level members of the "Cross Rose" were uprooted, how could Charles II give the "Cross Viper" Chances of continuing to survive? Even if Mirno will take the blame for this incident, with his weight, he cannot quell the chaos brought about by the death of the Pope of the Rosary Cross.

What's more, the "Rose Cross" parish is widespread, and it is indeed difficult for the "Viper Cross" to deal with such an enemy head-on in a short period of time. However, a Pope who has lost face and no longer holds authority will definitely bring about chaos within the sect. This way of weakening the "Rosicrucian" is far stronger than cleaning the entire high-level.

Every move of the "Viper Cross" was at the crucial point, and the panting Pope almost immediately understood the opponent's intentions, but the current situation was created by the Cardinals and him, so what's the use of regretting?

*****

Strictly speaking, the attack of the "Viper Cross" can only be called a "raid battle", not a "siege battle".

From a political point of view, this must ultimately be "the friction between the Earl of Mirnor and the Rose Cross", and it must not be characterized as "the Viper's Cross captures the core city of the Rose Cross", even if Charles II knows what is going on, and finally announces to the whole country It must also be the former statement.

With a series of countermeasures, the troops in the city were empty, and there was a time difference, and they broke in with the help of internal responses. From a tactical point of view, this will be a siege battle recorded in history, but unfortunately, the ultimate goal of the series of actions of the "Viper Cross" is not to occupy the city, but to "take the scepter". Therefore, the 2,000 soldiers who rushed into the city did not disperse their control like the troops that usually enter the city. Instead, they went straight to the inner city without assigning troops to control other city gates.

They rushed in through the west gate and they were destined to exit the city, so they didn't pay attention to what happened at the far north gate.

After the city was attacked, the city defense army deployed at the north gate has been in a state of anxiety. Most of the soldiers were mobilized before, so now there is only a team of fifteen guards at the north city gate. When the enemy rushed into the city and attacked the inner city, this team was already in a state of confusion...

Should we rush forward to stop the enemy, or stay here?

The captain of the city defense army is not the guard of the temple, and they don't want to die at all because they are not strong, but who knows if the enemy will slaughter and cleanse after occupying the city?

Just as fear and uneasiness permeated the team, the soldiers guarding the city wall suddenly shouted: "Team, captain! There is a team approaching!"

The sound instantly made everyone turn their eyes to the distance. The north of the "Holy Temple" is adjacent to the forest. At this time, a team of heavily armed troops is continuously walking out of the road between the forest lands. weep with joy

"It's reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!"
