Ryan held the angel statue in his hands and prayed devoutly.
"Your Holiness, this is Queen Catherine's complete reaction."
"Yeah~ I see. It's pretty much what I expected."
Ronnie's voice sounded very calm, without the anger Ryan had expected.
"Originally, the relationship between her and our church was one of mutual support and hostility.
Now that she has the support of the Church of Poseidon, she no longer needs our Church of the Holy Angels.
The reason why we haven't become completely hostile is that the two sides haven't yet torn their relations apart.
Ryan, protect yourself and be ready to evacuate at any time."
Hearing these words, Ryan felt particularly heavy-hearted.
He has been acting as an ambassador between the popes and the pope and has many friends in both factions.
If we put aside his position as a church member and ask him to choose between the two factions, it would be difficult for him to determine whether he is more inclined towards the people's livelihood faction or the church.
But now it seems that he no longer needs to choose.
The tide of the times has arrived, and history has made its choice for him.
From the moment Catherine chose the Church of Poseidon, all members of the Church of the Holy Angels inevitably stood opposite the People's Livelihood Faction.
There is no room for fence-sitting unless you betray your beliefs.
“If I had a choice, I would also like to be a people’s livelihood person.
The time I spent as a field doctor was the happiest time of my life.
Unfortunately, I have dedicated my whole life to God."
Ryan raised his head and looked deeply in the direction of the city lord's castle.
The cavalry marched in neat rows, holding guns and leading the way; the griffins sang loudly and competed to take off into the air.
Among the many soldiers, the most conspicuous were the thirteen Crusaders holding door-panel heavy swords.
Holy Sword Round Table Queen's Guard.
Level 6 Miracle Soldier.
Catherine's strongest trump card.
Each of them possesses a terrifying combat power that exceeds that of a [Holy Angel], and in a one-on-one fight, they can even easily kill a [Holy Angel].
If their numbers were not so small, the [Holy Sword Round Table Queen's Guard] would be the strongest legion of the castle.
13 members of the [Holy Sword Round Table Queen's Guard], guarding a gorgeous carriage.
On the top of the carriage was a griffin flag, symbolizing the royal family of Erathia.
Needless to say, the only person qualified to board that carriage was Queen Catherine.
“At this point, the retreat has officially begun.
Her Majesty formally rejected the Church's request.
This is a signal of separation and a declaration of irreconcilable differences.”
Ryan closed his eyes in pain.
"Your Majesty, everything is irreversible."
…
…
“Blasphemy!
This is a blasphemy against our church!
Your Holiness the Pope! I propose that, from today onwards, Catherine's right to rule shall no longer be recognized and the church's title of Queen to Catherine shall be abolished.
Declare Roland the sole emperor of Erathia."
Inheim waved his hands angrily, causing his red robe to fly all over.
Ronis exhaled lightly.
“Although I really want to say this, unfortunately, I still can’t do it.
In any case, Catherine's method of winning people's hearts is worthy of praise.
She is the biological daughter of King Hart and has an advantage in bloodline inheritance.
The church is now at a critical juncture. If it completely falls out with Catherine, it will lead to even louder voices against the church in the country.
At the very least, we must wait until we regain control of speech in Erathia.
That is why we call upon the angels.”
Ronis unfolded [Mirror Flower and Water Moon], and on the mirror, an angel with spread wings was bombarding the city with a holy sword burning with holy light.
Amid the sounds of explosions and the cries of life, buildings continued to collapse.
Inheim looked at the scene, his eyes gradually becoming fanatical.
"What a powerful force! Every time I see it, I am shocked.
Pope, with such power, why do we have to worry so much?
If there are opponents, can't we just kill them?"
Ronis smiled lightly and said:
“How do you think our Holy Heaven Church achieved its current status?
Honey and the whip are always in my hands.
But now, if the whip is hit, it will only make the cornered beast fight to the death.
You have to wait until the claws are worn off and the teeth are in hand before you can whip them.
When they are beaten to the point of being in great pain, on the verge of death, and in despair, that is when the great angel will rain down honey on them."
"Even if the honey is filled with poison, they will be grateful and eager to swallow it."
A holy smile appeared on Inheim's face:
"Your Holiness, wise."
…
…
The Shadow Realm is a special world located at the bottom of the Yasa world.
Equivalent to the projection of the Yasa world.
In the Shadow Realm, every meter you move is equivalent to a hundred meters in the Yasha World.
Masters who can enter and exit the Shadow Realm can move at extremely terrifying speeds in the Yasha world.
Using the Shadow Realm and Arnosachi's [Shadow Shuttle] special skill, Arnosachi and Qi Ge reached the edge of the Weathered Stone River in just three seconds.
Boom! !
The seven pigeons that had just emerged from the shadow world immediately saw the scene in the sky.
Somla, who had already escaped from the pillar of fire, was constantly deploying floating mines in the air, while the [Thunder Lord Legion] was trying their best to escape with the help of flying magic.
The densely packed suspended thunders in the sky formed a whole, like a brilliant Milky Way, making people feel like they were suffering from claustrophobia.
These suspended thunders appeared in the air for a moment and then disappeared immediately.
Just as Somla completed the arrangement, Selron emerged from the void with the [Hellboy Legion].
Crackling!!
Countless suspended thunders suddenly exploded, and the sky suddenly lit up, as if stars were falling.
【Floating Thunder
Level 5, Air and Lightning, applicable to both strategy and combat
Combat Effect: ...
Strategic Effect: Places a floating mine on the strategic map that lasts for 2 hours.
Enemies that pass through the hover mines will be ambushed and pulled into the combat space.
After entering the battle space, the enemy will be paralyzed for 3 rounds and electrocuted for 10 rounds. 】
In an instant, the demigod battlefield unfolds!
Selron, the [Hellboy Legion], and Somla were sucked in at the same time.
Even if Selron is carrying the Electric God Pendant, it can only make heroes and troops immune to lightning magic damage, but not to special effects!
Upon seeing this, Qi Ge blew a melodious whistle and praised with sincere admiration.
"Wonderful!!
Utilize the effect of the floating mine to forcibly pull Selron into the battle space.
Delay the time for three rounds. The maximum delay for one round is three minutes, and three rounds is 9 minutes.
In addition, the demigod himself has thick skin and flesh, and the heroic spirit troops can provide some support.
The [Thunder Lord Legion], which was fully empowered with the magic of flight, ran away."
Arnosaki shook his head unconvinced and said:
“This is the only solution.
If Serlon had war shackles, Somla would have died here today.
When the time comes, let's see where you can find [Sky Boat Fragment 5]."
Qi Ge chuckled:
"Serron can't have it."
Arnosaki looked at Qi Ge doubtfully and asked:
"You understand again?
Who told you the information this time?
Selron's wife?"
Qi Ge casually took out a pair of handcuffs and shook them on his fingers.
"Because, the [War Chains] are with me."
Arnold Sage: ???
"Is it true? Where did you get the [War Shackles]? Let me help you identify it."
Qi Ge was quick-witted and quick-handed, and collected the [War Shackles] before Arnosachi could reach out.
"Uncle, this is my livelihood. Please spare me."
“Tsk.”
Arnosaki glared at Qige with dissatisfaction:
“What do you know.
War Shackles are the unique components of the Holy Flame of War, and the owners of unique components will be attracted to each other.
What if you run into another component owner and they take away your war shackles?
I am strong, so I will keep it for you first."
"That makes sense. Here you go."
The Seven Pigeons quickly stuffed the shackles of war into Anosachi's arms.
"ha……"
Arnold was stunned.
"You really give it to me?
I'm just joking, don't take it seriously.
You are the heir of Credel, which is equivalent to my heir.
I would never steal anything from anyone else, but I would never steal anything from you."
Qi Ge waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Uncle, let me lend it to you first.
Somla will definitely be forced to withdraw from the battle soon. Once the demigod war begins, the party that is forced to withdraw will inevitably be severely damaged, and all the soldiers they carry will die.
With your strength, uncle, and with the shackles of war, as long as you catch up with Somla, you will definitely be able to kill him. "
Arnosaki shook his head and said:
“It’s possible, but killing him won’t help.
The demigod is immortal, so you can't just kill him and get [Skyship Fragment 5] from his backpack."
"No need to actually kill him."
Qi Ge stared at Anothachi and said:
"You with the shackles of war and you without the shackles of war are not the same threat to Somla.
Uncle , we have to make Somla understand that once he goes to war with you, he will most likely die."
Anothaki suddenly understood:
“Understood.
Then I am going to take action, you should be careful and wait for my good news."
"Good luck on your journey and a successful start!"
Qi Ge and Anosachi high-fived each other, and Anosachi dived into the shadows and slowly disappeared.
“Ping!!!”
There was a loud sound of glass breaking, and a big crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
“Somra!!”
Selron's angry voice came from the sky, immediately attracting Qi Ge's attention.
He saw that the number of the [Hellboy Legion] had been reduced by half, and there were many more burnt marks on Selron's body.
Somla, who was forced to leave the battle, was not in a good condition either. His elemental body looked very illusory, and the ancient magic lamp was covered with cracks.
In this situation, it is hard to tell who suffers more, but it is certain that both sides will suffer.
Crack!
Somla, who had just appeared in the Yasa world, immediately tore open a scroll.
A door to another dimension suddenly opened in the sky and sucked Somla in.
"Again? You're the only one who knows the Dimensional Gate?!"
The ring on Selron's hand flashed, and a dimensional door appeared in the air again.
Selron and the Hellboy Legion entered the dimensional gate together and continued to pursue Somla.
The war correspondent Qi Ge does not have the [Gate to Another Dimension], but he has the Purple Dragon with super fast flying speed.
“Shion!!”
“Here it comes!”
Qi Ge turned over and rode on the purple dragon, flying into the sky!
Although he couldn't see Selron and Somla, Qi Ge knew that Somla would definitely retreat towards the direction of [Flame Mountain].
That was the direction in which the [Thunder Lord Legion] retreated, and also the direction in which the main force in the tower was located.
[Flame Mountain] is 99% the next battlefield.
…
…
The seven pigeons flew across the white clouds at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind the blue sky and continuing to move towards the Flaming Mountain.
Even though they were still far away from the front line, the flames and thunder rising into the sky had already entered Qi Ge's field of vision.
First, a volcano rose from the ground, with black smoke and lava rolling down. Then, a giant thunder dragon covered the sky and the sun, and countless thunders poured down on the ground like torrential rain!
The two demigods were firing on all cylinders, using level 7 magic one after another.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
Qi Ge’s friend messages also kept popping up.
The players who were responsible for surveillance near the Flame Mountain have all died from unknown AOE and have left the game.
After a lot of effort, the seven pigeons finally arrived near the Flame Mountains.
A large number of burning armed airships were abandoned on the ground, and the corpses of Hell and Tower troops were everywhere.
"From the traces on the battlefield, it seems that Somla was standing and retreating, while Selron was chasing him.
It seems that Somla finally chose to charge the Flaming Mountain defense line.
Tsk tsk tsk, this loss will hurt even Bracada for a long time."
Qi Ge rode on Zi Yuan and circled in the sky before landing in a valley near the Flame Mountain.
Ruoqier, who had been staying near Huoyan Mountain, had been waiting here for a long time.
"Qier, what's the situation?"
"Still fighting."
Ruoqier closed her eyes and said:
“Serron has ambushed a large army of fire monsters and great demons in the sea of ​​​​magma, and the tower’s armed airships can’t fly over them.
Now Somla's troops occupied a hilltop, relying on the long-range power of the Thunder Lord and the Titan Mage to defend the Jedi.
If there is no other support, it is only a matter of time before the tower troops are wiped out."
When Qi Ge heard this, he immediately understood.
“It seems that Bracada’s support is about to arrive.
Occupying the top of a hill to defend is equivalent to forcing yourself into a desperate situation.
It does nothing but delay time.
Knowing Somla, there was no way he could have made such a stupid mistake.
Although I still don’t know who is coming.
But the other party must be very powerful.
So powerful that Somla thought that as long as he could delay the time, the other party would be able to solve everything. "
At this moment, Ruoqier's body suddenly trembled.
"Two doors to another dimension!
Demigod!!
Two demigods!!!"
Seven Pigeons: !!!
…
…
Khalid has opened the Hell Gate of [Volcano City], and a steady stream of Hell troops are constantly gathering towards the main position.
Selron floated in the air, watching grimly as a large number of low-level hell soldiers continued to rush into the opponent's attack range and die.
The bodies of these dead hell soldiers will be resurrected by the evil king as evil spirits and continue to attack Somla's position.
In the territory of the abyss, all dead hell soldiers will be quickly absorbed by the abyss and rebuilt.
It seemed like a lot of troops had died, but to Selron, the loss of these troops was negligible.
In this way, Selron is constantly consuming the mana and ammunition of Somla's ranged and spellcasting troops.
When the opponent's energy is almost exhausted, you can use the fire elves and the big demon to completely end the battle.
"Huh! Looks like I'm the winner in the end."
Selron raised the axe calmly and laughed wildly:
"Fight, resist, and die.
Try your best and give a wonderful battle to the abyss.
Soon, your body and soul will become part of our abyss.
Somla, I advise you to give up. If you run away now, you can still save some face."
Somla ignored Selron's words and just kept casting various high-damage group attack magic with a cold face.
"boom!!"
Just when the battlefield was at a stalemate, two doors to different dimensions suddenly opened in the air.
A genie with a face walked out of a door to another dimension.
Compared with Somla, his elemental body was covered with scars, and flashes of lightning constantly appeared in the scars.
From another dimensional door, a human wizard with a hunched body and closed eyes walked out.
He held a huge curved staff with a huge ball of lightning floating on the top of it.
"Two demigods?!"
Selron's pupils suddenly shrank.
“This appearance…
Could it be Gavin and Magnus?
Didn’t they disappear?”
Gavin opened his eyes and raised the curved staff high in his hand.
There was not even time to open up the battle space, countless lightning bolts instantly covered the ground, and with just one magic spell, hundreds of thousands of Hell soldiers were killed instantly!
The overly powerful force even caused the space to move abnormally, and the instability around the entire Flame Mountain was slowly increasing! !
"Forehead!!!"
The lightning on the ground washed away countless troops, and then turned into a beam of lightning that rushed into the sky and hit Selron.
Selron roared, veins bulging, and broke free from the lightning.
But at the same time, the electric god pendant on his neck turned into powder and shattered.
"What! Destroy a treasure with one strike?!
Impossible! Even a demigod can't have this kind of power!! "
Selron flew into the sky in panic.
The old human wizard who released powerful magic, along with his equipment and that special staff, turned into a stream of lightning and dissipated into the air.
"This is!"
Selron's mind raced, and he immediately understood.
“The demigod power in him is filled with divine power, so it can be fully released in one magic.
No wonder it is so powerful.
Can use divine power to create demigod-level heroes...
They are both the incarnations of El Zeus's power!"
At this moment, the lamp spirit flew into the sky, with a voice like thunder:
"My name is Magnus, the immortal hero, creator of Bracada.
Selron, retreat immediately and I will spare your lives.
Otherwise , when the thunder strikes, everything will be destroyed."
Magnus' eyes were empty, indifferent, and emotionless, and his voice was as calm as dead water.
But the weight of this declaration made Selron tremble with fear.
Selron knew that Magnus was likely only capable of one strike.
But he had no idea how much damage this attack could cause.
Will it kill the entire [Hellboy Legion]? Or will it take away a demigod? Or even destroy the entire Flame Mountain?
No matter which result, Selron could not accept it.
You know, there are already more than a hundred thousand hell soldiers nearby for him to kill.
"Lord Satan..."
Selron prayed in his heart, but unfortunately, he received no response.
“That’s right. The thread of faith has been broken. It would be strange if there was any response.
El Zeus has already made his move. If Satan doesn't respond, I won't be his match.
Here, we should fight to the death to kill Somla.
Or should I step back and go back to check on Satan?
hateful.
This feeling of powerlessness is really frustrating.”
Selron closed his eyes and gave up thinking.
“Since I can’t figure out the answer by thinking on my own, I’ll leave everything to my bloodline.
The great abyss and the abyss blood flowing in my body will guide me to make the best choice. "
"Your Majesty the Divine King!"
Just then, Somra flew into the air and stood side by side with Magnus.
Magnus shook his neck and said:
“Drive the airship, let’s go.
Our real enemy is not Hell.
Do not waste your strength fighting Hell."
"yes!"
Several signal lights of different lengths flashed across Somla's body, and the troops in the tower immediately began to gather towards the armed airship.
At this time, Selron's heartbeat had slowed to near stop.
Plop!!
Suddenly, Selron's heart beat violently.
Plop!!
Then, a huge heartbeat sound suddenly rang out throughout Oufu! !
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Selron, Khalid far away in Volcano City, the Hellboy Legion,...a little monster in some unknown corner of hell.
From top to bottom, from demigods to military branches.
The heartbeats of all creatures in the abyss seem to be synchronized at this moment!
Magnus and Somla clearly sensed that the atmosphere was not right and immediately became highly alert.
In their eyes, Selron neither attacked nor ran away, but suddenly knelt down in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, all the hell creatures on the battlefield knelt down! !
As if they had no fear of life or death, they all turned their backs to the army in the tower and knelt down facing the heart of Oufu.
This strange scene immediately made Magnus and Somla realize that something was wrong.
Magnus made a prompt decision and prepared to release magic immediately!!
But as soon as he raised his hands, they were restrained by an extremely powerful force and he was completely unable to move.
"Shafran~Sari~Carpos~"
Strange chanting and music sounded in the air at the same time, echoing continuously and drilling into the minds of all living beings present.
As these terrible blasphemies were uttered, the earth began to tremble slightly.
The sea of ​​​​lava began to boil, and streams of magma erupted and rushed hundreds of meters into the sky!
Magnus' eyes widened.
He saw that in the distant sky, there was a woman walking towards here in the air.
Every step she takes will cross thousands of mountains and rivers.
Wherever she walked, the blue sky would turn red little by little.
It was as if there was a red sky following her.
"That is... the abyss!!"
