Main Volume Chapter 118: Battle of the Holy City
"coming!"
"Edward's signal!"
"Everyone listen up, attack the Holy City, attack!"
Upon seeing the signal, the Ajid members who had been lurking around the holy city immediately took command and led the undead army towards the holy city. They were as dense as a tide and soon completely surrounded the holy city.
They arrived at the holy city. The huge city was completely silent. There were no soldiers guarding the city walls, and the stone gates were open, making it look like a desolate abandoned town.
"Haha, they're pretty quick. There's no one at the entrance to the holy city, and the defense array isn't activated. It looks like they've completely occupied it!"
"Sure enough, it's nice to have a traitor leading the way!"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go in and take a look at this legendary holy city!"
After that, several Ajids who controlled the army of undead swaggered into the holy city, completely unaware that this was a trap set by the Divine Life Cult.
After all, the power Edward had previously displayed was too great, and he had detailed plans and arrangements. There were also many companions of Ajid stationed in the city. Naturally, they would think that the scene before them was because their accomplices had occupied the holy city relying on Edward's identity and plans.
If the plan goes wrong, news will definitely get out. Who can blame each Akito who sneaks in? He is so powerful that he can forcibly summon the Ancient Evil God at the moment of death...
However, when several Ajids walked straight into the holy city, the surrounding scene suddenly distorted, like a mirror, revealing countless paladins hidden in the holy city.
"What!?"
"Is this an ambush!?"
Without waiting for Ajid to react, several powerful Holy Knights rushed forward, holding Savilla Steel in their hands, and chopped at the heads of several Ajids.
"How could it be...Savilia Steel..."
In an instant, several Ajids were hacked to death by the paladins, and they were completely dead without even transforming into monsters.
This cannot be blamed on them. After all, the Savilia steel completely restrains Ajid. As long as they kill Ajid with one blow before he transforms, the power of Ajid in their bodies will not be able to be activated, and the power of sacrifice to summon the ancient evil god will also be blocked by the Savilia steel.
In addition, the time from when Ajid discovered the Paladin to when he was attacked by the Paladin was very short, so short that there was no time to react at all, so they had no way to transform in advance.
"Very good, the troublesome enemy has been eliminated. The remaining undead army is not a big problem. Just activate the large-scale divine spell to purify them!"
"yes!"
All of a sudden, the sages of the Divine Life Cult became busy, casting spells together, summoning powerful large-scale holy light skills that swept across thousands of meters around the holy city.
The lethality of this light-attribute combination skill is dozens of times stronger than that of the Great Rain of Resurrection, and it takes effect instantly. Therefore, when the holy light sweeps across the desert, those undead creatures swept by the holy light, whether they are ordinary, BOSS-level, or resistant to restraint, will all be killed instantly.
Soon, all the undead around the holy city were cleared out, and it returned to its original appearance, with endless yellow sand blowing in the wind.
"solved?"
“It’s surprisingly easy!”
"Hehe, didn't Lord Kuura say that these Ajids thought that their companions lurking in our Holy City had not been discovered yet, so they would naturally relax their vigilance and want to capture the Holy City with such a small number of people?"
"That's true. If I were them, I would definitely think so and fall into the trap."
"As expected of Lord Kuura!"
"too strong!"
"Okay, stop chatting, and quickly clean up the battlefield. Then organize a team to clear the city, lest there are other undead creatures and Agito members hiding in the desert!"
"Yes! Sir!"
At the same time, in the desert several thousand meters away from the holy city, a giant winged monster fell from the sky, stirring up countless choking sand and dust.
"Lord Omega, something has happened. Our troops attacking the Holy City have been annihilated by the Divine Life Cult!"
"And the sacrifice technique has not been activated..."
"Obviously the other party set an ambush..."
“Didn’t give us a chance…”
After hearing this, Omega snorted coldly: "Humph, as expected, I knew that the guy named Edward was unreliable. Fortunately, we have an extra backup."
For the cautious Ajid organization, any mission is worth comprehensive consideration. They had long guessed that the current situation might happen, so they specially prepared a separate assault force and did not tell Edward and other Ajid members who attacked the holy city in order to prevent this arrangement from being leaked.
It turns out that their strategy was very correct. This secret team was not discovered by anyone and successfully reversed the current unfavorable situation...
As for the other information, which was only given to the Ajid members hiding in the Holy City, it was all intercepted by Edward. No one knows how he did it...
"Pass on my order, emerge from the barrier , fly to the Holy City, then activate the sacrificial array and storm the Holy City!"
"yes!"
Then, the barrier was lifted, and dozens of flying Agitos rose into the sky, their graceful figures swept across the sky, and in just a dozen seconds they arrived in front of the Holy City, looking down at the astonished Knights of the Order.
"how come?"
"Where do these monsters come from?"
"Are they Ajid's backup troops?"
"But why are there so many ..."
Without giving the cult much time to react, the flying Agitos collectively took out a black dagger from their waists and inserted it into their chests like a needle, spurting out a stream of bright red blood.
"Great followers of Agito! We are here to fight with blood! We are sacrificing our lives! Please show up here! Show your strength for the great new era!"
"Sacrificial array!"
"start up!"
Suddenly, the black daggers on Ajid's chests merged into their flesh, and the wounds instantly grew larger. Blood gushed out of them, turning into red chains that merged into a huge red blood ball, floating in the sky above the holy city like a flying saucer.
The knights of the Divine Life Order panicked: "This!? A large magic circle!? How is it possible!? Summoning a large magic circle directly without any arrangement?"
Damn it!
This totally goes against common sense!
How did these monsters called Akito do it?
At this time, Kuula, standing on the top of the church in the center of the holy city, frowned, his white armor gleaming in the sunlight, and the scarf around his neck fluttering in the wind.
"Ah?"
"Are those Ajids who rushed in to die the core of the formation?"
"Being tricked?"
"In that case..."
"Just wait for that person to come..."
After saying that, Kuula drew out the long sword from his waist, and a golden beam of light representing inheritance emanated from his body and shot straight into the sky, but this dazzling light was not seen by anyone.
In other words, except for the existence that possesses the inheritance, no other creature can see this golden light column...
