Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 205 Angel Holy Lamp
"Your mission this time is called 'Operation Light Extinguishing', and the destination is 'Heaven', the holy land of the Angels of Light. I believe that some of you, the Undead Wizards and Magic Knights, must have had the experience of entering 'Heaven' to complete the 'Demonization' mission. You should know that there are many gathering areas of angels in 'Heaven', called 'Mountains of Light', where angels of six-winged Seraphim and below usually live. The number of angels varies, with thousands of large ones and only a few hundred small ones. There will be a corresponding proportion of eight-winged Holy Angels as their leaders. And on each 'Mountain of Light', there will be an 'Angel Holy Lamp' given by the Angel of God Michael, which is lit with his own divine power to dispel darkness and evil, breed light and justice, and purify everyone living on the 'Mountain of Light'. An angel's heart is also a coordinate, used to establish a direct spiritual connection with the human world, receive the prayers of those light priests and light knights, make contracts, and accept their summons. As long as this "Angel Holy Lamp" is extinguished, the most direct impact is that the light players in the human world will temporarily be unable to summon any angels on this "Mountain of Light". Those who are praying will also lose all their efforts and have to change other targets to start a new round of prayers. The greater effect is that Michael has to consume some divine power to relight the extinguished "Holy Lamp of Light", which can just offset the divine power consumed by Lucifer and me to restore the "Castle of Mind", so that he will not take any advantage. "
The old man was getting more and more excited, and those of us who were to carry out the mission were getting more and more disappointed. We exchanged glances while listening. Most of them looked a little strange. Many people were mentally prepared to enter "Heaven". After all, in the human world, unless we went to the Temple of Light in the Holy City, we had never heard of any place with such a strong power that could reduce the upper limit of the spiritual power of neutral professions. However, this was not an ordinary "Heaven trip" before. We lurked in the wilderness looking for opportunities to sneak attack a lone angel. From what the old man said, it turned out that we were going to force the "Mountain of Light". That was the angel's nest. Even the smallest one had hundreds of people. The seven-level two-winged archangels and the eight-level four-winged light angels were not bad. If one-third of them were the nine-level six-winged seraphs, there should be at least a hundred. In addition, there were the tenth-level eight-winged holy angels as the leaders. It didn't take many. As long as there were three or five of them, our thirty eight-level professions would be in trouble. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Thirty people invading "Heaven" to openly challenge a group of angels was almost like committing suicide. How could they expect to complete the "light-extinguishing mission"?
"Respected Lord Death, we are flattered that you and Lord Lucifer think so highly of us. However, there are only thirty of us participating in the mission. If we invade 'Heaven', we can only cause some damage in secret. If we openly attack 'Mountain of Light', even if we are facing at least a few hundred angels, it will be difficult to achieve the desired result, right?" Originally, Long Xingtianxia, as the Speaker of the Senate, should have been the most qualified to step forward and question. Perhaps considering that the old man is the boss of us necromancers, I, the "number one necromancer in the world", should be favored by him the most. Without knowing the old man's temperament, I don't want to act rashly and leave a bad impression on him, but I don't want to be overtaken by Daye Feiying, Qiu Shui Changtian and others. Therefore, Long Xingtianxia kept winking at me, indicating that I should take the lead.
"Since this is a mission assigned to you, I will definitely not let you go to 'heaven' and die in vain. It will not only benefit those birdmen, but also reduce your strength. It will also consume my power in vain. There are about a thousand angels of various levels living in this 'Mountain of Light' we have chosen. There are at least four hundred six-winged seraphim and about five eight-winged holy angels. It is certainly impossible for you thirty people to fight against them. However, even if they are stronger than you, they are definitely far inferior in wisdom and experience due to their nature. You can think of ways to make them smarter, what about adjusting them? You are definitely much more skilled than me in tactics such as the tiger leaving the mountain, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, etc. Moreover, although the 'Holy Lamp of Light' is placed on the top of the 'Mountain of Light', it is enshrined in a temple of light. Except for the time of worship, ordinary angels, including the holy angels who are the leaders, are not allowed to enter. Therefore, as long as you break through quickly and rush into the temple of light on the top of the mountain before those angels form a siege, they can only stay outside before the next worship time comes, and dare not rush in to continue to besiege you. "
If that's the case, there's still a chance. According to the information compiled by the resistance alliance about the top masters of the two dark professions who have entered "Heaven", and the document titled "The Secret of "Heaven" Revealed", the general "Mountain of Light" is not very high, but rather wide and flat, with many angels living around the mountain. If we concentrate our strength to break through one point, it's not impossible to reach the top of the mountain. The eleven knights, plus our four wizard kings who have mastered "instant teleportation" or "blood bat transformation" and another undead wizard Night Tour, have a greater chance of quickly breaking through the siege and forcing their way into the Temple of Light on the top of the mountain.
Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. However, the old man chuckled, "Don't be too happy too soon. Although you have rushed into the Temple of Light and avoided the siege of ordinary angels, it does not mean that you can destroy the 'Holy Lamp of Light' smoothly without any obstacles."
"What? Could it be that the 'Holy Lamp of Light' will bite us itself?" Bai Yunjian's words caused us to burst into laughter. The atmosphere, which had been a little dull since the dead old man showed up, finally became a little more relaxed and no longer felt so depressing.
"It's much more serious than biting you. The 'Holy Lamp of Light' lit by Michael's divine power will not be easily violated. Although it cannot be desecrated by ordinary angels, there are four full-time 'Servants of God' guarding the left and right sides of the Temple of Light. If you want to destroy the 'Holy Lamp of Light', you need to get through their interception first."
"What level are the four 'Servants of God'? Are they played by eight-winged holy angels?"
The old man shook his head. "No. These 'Servants of God' are basically equivalent to your strength. Before you were promoted to the ninth-level profession, they only had six wings."
The heart that had just been hanging in the air suddenly fell again, "Damn, they are only level nine, and there are only four of them. What is there to worry about? Even if they are all upper level nine, they can't pose any threat to us."
The old man glanced at the one who was shouting the loudest. "If the 'Servants of God' are so easy to deal with, do I need to point it out to you? What qualifications do they have to serve and protect God? Don't think Michael is so bad. Although we should despise the enemy strategically, we must still correct our attitude tactically and pay enough attention to the opponent. We must never underestimate the enemy. Although these 'Servants of God' have only six wings, their bodies are stained with a trace of Michael's divine power and have mutated. But they are not ordinary Seraphim, but a special kind of existence. Except for the servants who serve the 'Holy Lamp of Light', the rest are Michael's close guards. According to their different natures, they are divided into two categories. Those who are fixed are called war angels and cherubim, and their names will not change with the change of the number of wings. War angels are purely physical attacks, with melee combat capabilities that surpass normal angels of the same level, while cherubim focus on the use of magic, like the Knights of Light and the Priests of Light, who complement each other. Together, they can exert a stronger combat power. And the most obvious difference from ordinary angels is that these battle angels and cherubim are equipped with weapons and equipment, and are no longer uniformly dressed in white robes. The battle angel is equipped with a white light armor and holds an angel light gun in his hand, while the cherubim are wearing a robe embroidered with golden patterns and shining with white light, and a white magic staff in his right hand. Their strength is definitely not what those six-winged seraphim can achieve, and their actual combat power is at least not lower than the tenth level. It is quite difficult for you to defeat two battle angels and two cherubim with your strength. And as long as you step into the Temple of Light, you will be under the illumination of the "Holy Lamp of Light", infused with Michael's divine power, and in "Heaven", so you can exert the greatest effect. If you are unfortunately killed, the probability of reducing the upper limit of your mental power will be much greater, and may even exceed 50%. This is the real danger. "
Even though we, the councillors, are veterans who have experienced many battles, we could still hear a lot of gasps as the old man told us. If it was like the "Heaven Journey", only if we died at the hands of a higher-level holy angel would our mental power limit be reduced. We still have a lot of options. As it is now, within the range of the "Holy Light of Light", there is a 50% chance of death, which is definitely the most troublesome situation for us. The enemies we face are special types of battle angels and cherubim, whose strength has surpassed level nine. Even if we can kill four of them, casualties are inevitable. Whoever enters the hall will be more dangerous, and even death will not be peaceful. Moreover, it is not necessarily possible to ensure the completion of the mission. If the operation fails, even if it is sacrificed in vain, there is no direct benefit to the individual. Even if we cannot or dare not withdraw, will we choose to "die" in advance to avoid risks when facing the enemy? People's hearts are unpredictable and selfishness is inevitable. The situation is quite complicated.
"It is precisely because this is your first time to carry out the 'Lights Out Operation' and you have no experience and the risk is very high that I have specially given you the reward of rebuilding the 'Mind Castle' that was originally set to be irrecoverable. You only have one chance. If the mission fails, you will never see the 'Mind Castle' again. How to act specifically, whether to avoid risks and do it perfunctorily, or not afraid of sacrifice and fight hard, is up to you to discuss and plan. There is still some time now. At one o'clock, I will send you to 'Heaven'. You can follow the given coordinates and go to the 'Mountain of Light' to start the operation."
"Can these war angels and cherubim accept the prayers of the priests of light and the knights of light and be summoned to the human world to fight like other ordinary angels?" This is a question that has nothing to do with "Operation Turn Off the Lights", but it will have a certain impact on the strength of the light players, especially for the knights of light. Even if the angels that originally possessed them have magical abilities, they cannot use them and can only exert part of their strength. If they are summoned to possess a war angel, the combat effectiveness will probably be much stronger. Long Xing Tianxia is not limited to this mission and thinks more deeply.
The dead old man looked at Long Xing Tianxia with a hint of appreciation in his expression. "They are different from ordinary angels. As 'Guardians of God', War Angels and Cherubim do not accept normal prayers. As long as they have made great contributions or completed certain specific tasks and directly alarmed Michael, they may be granted a specific item. With it, you can pray for a War Angel or Cherubim to be summoned to fight. There will definitely not be many of them."
He asked some more related questions. It was impossible to withdraw from the situation, otherwise it would be like destroying one's future. After discussion, a preliminary action plan was roughly drawn up. Some people lure the enemy, some people provide cover, and of course the main attack force is indispensable. However, entering the Temple of Light and facing the four "Servants of God" under the illumination of the "Holy Light of Light" is the most dangerous. I am afraid that no one will be willing to accept such a test. Even I, who have not seen the methods of the battle angels and the cherubim, am not sure that I can escape unscathed. After some discussion, the three chairmen should naturally take on the heavy responsibility. Qiu Shui Changtian, as the leader of a faction, should not shrink at the critical moment. The rest of the candidates will be shared by various forces, mainly the knights and our four witch kings, to form a death squad that can quickly rush to the Temple of Light to complete the most difficult test.
When it was time to start the action, the old man was still waving the "Death Scythe" and performing the "Broken Void" to send us to "Heaven" secretly. He also injected a trace of dark power into each of us to cover up our human aura. As long as we don't use the dark power or are directly seen by the angels, we won't be sensed. However, it is precisely because of this that the probability of losing the upper limit of mental power when being killed by the power of light increases, and even neutral professions are not immune.
The place where he appeared was in the wilderness. If he appeared directly near the "Mountain of Light", where there were people coming and going, he would be easily discovered. Although he was no longer alone as before, he had 29 companions of similar strength. However, he invaded the base camp of the Angel of Light, "Heaven". Such a small number of people could not increase the sense of security. It can be seen that many people looked hesitant, more or less nervous, and seemed not very confident.
After a short rest, some companions who had never seen "Heaven" were allowed to familiarize themselves with the environment here, and people were sent out to conduct reconnaissance everywhere to prevent being discovered by the angels. According to the coordinates, they determined the route of advance, and then began to rush towards the designated "Mountain of Light" to attack - although there was no specific time limit for completing the task, it was definitely the sooner the better. The longer the delay, the more energy would be consumed, and it would be easy to feel tired, which would affect our performance in the battle.
We carefully avoided some scattered angels along the way. Fortunately, "Heaven" is vast enough, and there are dense flowers, plants and shrubs for hiding. Unless there is an intentional search, it will not be easy to find us. After all, we are all experienced top masters. Excluding the influence of perception ability, we are not inferior in terms of stealth.
The operation went smoothly without causing any unnecessary trouble. Following the coordinates provided by the dead old man, we finally found the "Mountain of Light" that we were going to attack. Last time, we looked at it from a distance, and saw a vague white light. Looking at it from a close distance, the mountain seemed to be made of white marble, without a trace of mixed colors, and radiated a layer of soft white light. The vertical height of the mountain is no more than 500 meters, but if you want to rush to the top of the mountain along the flat mountain, you have to run a lot more distance. The mountain is full of various buildings. From the outside, they are not magnificent, but they are also carefully designed and are by no means shabby. At least they are much better than the caves, magma pools, and black water pools of the bosses in the "Dead Space". At first glance, this treatment is not on the same level. Many angels are coming in and out, mostly four-winged angels of light and six-winged seraphs. They should be responding to the prayers of the light players. They are all flapping their wings and flying around in the air. They don't get close to the ground to observe the grass and trees. Probably in their territory, there are no special guards arranged. We should be able to sneak directly to the foot of the mountain and rush into the most dazzling temple of light on the top of the mountain in the shortest time.
According to the specific structural layout of this "Mountain of Light", the action plan was adjusted appropriately, and then according to the different divisions of labor, everyone took their positions and prepared to launch an attack. First, six players, including the God of War of the Ganges, Snow Wuxia, and Bonfire of Night, sneaked to a place with a moderate distance from here, attacked the lone angels, attracted the angels of the "Mountain of Light" to support, or at least attracted their attention; then the slower-moving councilors, such as Bai Yunjian, rushed to the mountain in several groups, launched a feint attack, created chaos, and further distracted the angels' attention; finally, the knights and undead wizards who could quickly break through, such as Long Xing Tianxia, Desert Eagle, Afeng, Romantic Sakura, me, Qiu Shui Changtian, etc., looked for areas with weak defenses and attacked the top of the mountain, and tried to rush into the Temple of Light before the angel army reacted and launched a siege, and met the challenge of the four angels of war and the angel of wisdom in the best condition.
