Chapter 339 The Death of Sinsaro
Kingdom of the Hinterlands, Seaport of Hinsaro.
The sea under the red moon seemed to have gone crazy, setting off huge waves, and the rolling waves swept towards this former prosperous seaport.
Over the harbor, the black smoke formed the shadow of a huge octopus monster. An evil and cold atmosphere enveloped the entire city, covering the shadow of the red moon.
The deep and silent black is very conspicuous on the red and gray fog curtain.
Gray-white lights rose from every corner of the city, constantly entering the mouth of the monster's shadow, and the sounds of wailing and crying spread throughout the city.
The supreme commander of the port, Cardinal Elias, collapsed on the ground. He stared at the rolling gray fog in the sky, a look of despair on his face.
He understood that the gray-white light was the materialized negative emotions of the residents in the harbor, and there was also life force mixed in it.
He could not feel the energy level of the octopus monster's shadow. He only felt that the blood in his body was frozen, and his mind was filled with fear, helplessness and other pessimistic emotions.
Tonight is the night of the red moon, but the murlocs' attack will not stop, but will become even crazier. Therefore, instead of hiding in the sanctuary, he stood on the city wall and prepared to attack the enemy.
Who would have expected that the always punctual murloc attack did not come, but something even more terrifying came.
After a while, the black shadow of the smoke slowly dissipated, and the crimson moonlight illuminated the earth again.
There was an oppressive silence in the city.
Elias stood up slowly while holding on to the wall, his eyes showing the joy of surviving the disaster.
Bradley Hayden came to him and said with lingering fear:
"What the hell is this? I feel like I almost peed myself."
"I don't know," Eli shook his head slightly. There was no information about this creature in his knowledge reserve.
"However, I think the energy level it expresses exceeds the fifth level, otherwise it would not be able to overwhelm our will from its momentum."
"Beyond the fifth level? That is a power that can only be possessed by at least a sixth-level creature, and it is an existence that touches the barrier of the gods' laws."
Bradley was a little distracted. Facing such an enemy, they had no chance of winning.
He patted the archbishop's shoulder and said hesitantly: "Otherwise, let's go back to the sanctuary."
We don’t know why the enemy retreated, but if they turn around and attack the city, they will definitely suffer.
Eli fell into silence. If they left, it would be difficult to hold on with other priests alone. Under the red moon, their state would be much suppressed, and they would have to devote their energy to suppressing the infringement of the Law of Pollution.
Before he could react, he only heard a roaring sound coming from the seaside in the distance.
Eli stared at the ocean in the distance and saw a huge thing emerging from the water.
The upper body looks like a deep diver, with a human-like body, dark green eyes the size of a water tank, long fleshy whiskers hanging from the huge flat head, two rows of hard dorsal fins on the back, and a huge snake tail. Coiled above the waves.
The sea water surged, and the monster was sent to the shore in a very short time. The monster could look straight at the humans on the city wall.
Standing on the city wall more than ten meters high, Eli's eyes met the monster's eyes, and two words came to his mind:
"It's over."
Eli clenched his fists, recognizing the creature's origins.
The areas controlled by the Storm Lord Church are all facing the sea. They have the most dealings with the Deep Ones, and they are also familiar with the name of the evil god who controls the Deep Ones.
It is the servant of the evil god who is entrenched in the evil city of R'lyeh and the king of the deep ones - Dagon.
‘No, the spiritual concentration of the world should not be enough to revive such a powerful evil god servant. How could Dagon appear here. ’
Even if he no longer believed it, Eli had to accept the fact that he would face Dagon.
Bradley fell to the ground the moment Dagon appeared at the city wall. When he saw this monster, both his soul and body trembled. He was completely unable to control his body.
Dagon stared at the ants on the city wall and laughed mockingly. The laughter seemed like a devil from hell, full of malice that fooled people's hearts.
Black smoke rushed out from its ears, forming a shadow of an octopus monster on top of its head.
The shadow grew larger and larger, once again covering the red moon in the sky. The black mist suddenly dispersed, like a black wind blowing in the desert, instantly submerging the port of Sinsaro.
"No!"
Eli let out a desperate cry, for the city and for himself.
He raised the war hammer in his hand, and there was a faint arc of lightning on the bright silver war hammer.
Eli injected all the holy power and even the origin of life into the war hammer, and launched the final attack - the Lightning Hammer.
"go to hell!"
Eli threw away his shield, gritted his teeth, held the hammer in both hands, and stepped out of the city wall.
The wind roared beside him, and a five- to six-meter-long thunder and lightning lingered on the war hammer, illuminating his determined face.
In an instant, he remembered the scene when he had just entered the church and became a trainee priest. He remembered the scene when he became a bishop, he remembered the scene when he became an archbishop, and he remembered the companions who stood on the city wall and fought hard to kill the murlocs.
This was the place he swore to protect before the gods, and of course he remembered his oath.
The last hesitation and cowardice in Eli's eyes disappeared, leaving only the determination to move forward.
The warhammer with lightning attack hit Dagon's face, but it only shattered some scales.
Dagon opened his huge mouth and shook his head violently, as if the ground cracked and darkness swallowed Eli.
At this time, the black fog completely covered the Sinsaro harbor.
Crown was bathed in the morning light of the rising sun. Although he had not slept all night, he was still full of energy.
After forcing the cultists back last night, he did not take it lightly and instead guarded the city wall.
Nick raised his clenched fists and shouted excitedly: "Sir, we have won."
His voice was hoarse, and his armor was covered in blood, but it all belonged to the enemy.
The situation last night was very serious. A large number of cultists had crossed the city wall and entered Zac Town.
Fortunately, no high-level cultists were involved, otherwise the city wall might fail.
"We won!" Del and others also cheered excitedly.
In the small town, the surviving soldiers walked out of the camp one after another and cheered.
Crown nodded slightly, but there was not much joy in his eyes.
He didn't find any Transcendents above level three last night, so the enemy's attack could only be considered a feint at best.
If it hadn't been for the night of the red moon last night, such a victory would not be worth celebrating.
After everyone's joy calmed down, Crown ordered:
"I still need you to work hard for a while. Please count the casualties last night and treat the injured friendly troops. The enemy is only retreating temporarily. We cannot relax and must remain vigilant."
He then issued an order through the Golden Light Taoist Seed: 'Fujin, detect the enemy's retreat direction, maintain a sufficient flying altitude, and pay attention to safety. ’
"Quack!" Fu Jin fluttered his wings and left. Under the sun, his wings were filled with light and sparkle, and his originally black and shiny claws were dyed blood red.
"Haha, it's not hard."
Nick turned and left, leaving only Crown and Del on the wall.
"Sir, what are you going to do next?"
"The enemy won't retreat too far. I think they will either be dormant in some hidden place waiting for a comeback, or they will take a detour and bypass Zac Town.
But no matter which method is used, with so many cultists gathered together, the population density must be high.
Send an urgent message to Rhine City, requesting airship bombing force support. "
The enemy is relatively concentrated, which is suitable for bombing. It doesn't matter how many enemies are killed. As long as they can disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm, it will be easier for them to deal with the enemy.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Crown didn't go back to rest. He sat down on the ground and took out a handful of gold spirit coins from the space ring.
The Fire Cube consumed too much spirit-controlling power last night and must be replenished as soon as possible.
The spiritual essence of the spirit coin was extracted and turned into gray powder, which fell to the ground as he spread his hands.
A gust of wind blew around him, stirring up gray dust.
Crown replenished the spirit-controlling power of the Fire Cube and consumed more than eighty gold spirit coins.
"This money is spent as quickly as water. If there is a more intense battle, the cost of replenishing the spirit control power may be several hundred gold spirit coins every day. The consumption of resources by war is really too great."
He sighed slightly. The goods the church had taken from his arsenal still had white slips on them, and he didn't know when he would get the payment.
He didn't sigh for too long. He closed his eyes and began to meditate on the Golden Light Spell. By meditating at this time, he could get double the Sun Flame Liquid and Sun Essence.
The battle last night consumed a lot of his life force. In order to maintain his strength, he even took a drop of Japanese essence.
After his body was in optimal condition, Crown stood up with a bronze sword in his hand.
He shook his sword randomly, causing a sharp wind howl. He began to practice the cross sword.
Liver Sword Technique has made the fastest progress during the battle, but this skill is about to reach the edge of advancement, and he can't wait for the next battle.
Crown only practiced the most basic sword moves, but his physical fitness was too high, and outsiders could only see a flashing afterimage that was constantly moving.
"Huh," Crown's movements stopped. He felt a faint sense of joy rise, and then opened the golden wall.
[Cross Sword: Extreme] (Special Effect 1: Tear Power (Passive). You have mastered the essence of the Cross Sword. When you use the Cross Sword swordsmanship to attack, you will have the power of tear, causing larger wounds.
Special Effect 2: Cross Cut. You understand the secret of the Cross Sword and unleash powerful attacks. )
"I should have pushed this skill to its limit earlier, but I've only reached it now. It seems like it's a little late."
Croun released a cross slash at his feet, and a small cross-shaped crack immediately appeared on the bluestone floor.
After staring at this mark for two seconds, he shook his head and laughed: "It is indeed a bit weak."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crack expanded instantly, the word "ten" extended outward, and the thick bluestone brick of half a square meter cracked into four halves.
"Hey, that's interesting."
Crown injected the energy of life into the long sword and released the cross slash again.
Two deep intersecting marks immediately appeared on the ground, and the moment the marks appeared, the cracks spread outward.
When he pulled out the sword, the cracks had already divided the bluestone. This time the marks were very straight, as if they were straighter than cutting with a ruler.
Crown released the cross sword again. This time, the tip of the sword was still one centimeter away from the bluestone.
Amidst the buzzing sound of the sword body, a "ten" mark appeared on the bluestone. The trace expanded in a winding way, extending for four to five centimeters and then stopped.
Crown put the long sword back into the Fire Cube and said happily: "The effect is good. I can practice one less skill in the future."
