Chapter 66:Battle of Hermes (Part 1)

...

The ice and rain flew, dimming the blood in the holy city, and Arehia was stationed with a large sword and gasped violently.

It was not the first time she had been involved in the Helmets line, but she had never imagined that the new holy city might be lost one day.

The wall is completely finished.

Alysia had never seen such a terrible monster, a huge mixed beast emerged from the ground, the body was attached to the glacial cliffs, and the bone claws were embedded in the wall like a barb, climbing step by step up to the top of the wall, while its body had not yet fully exposed the ground.

If it was just a huge body, but everyone did not expect that the monster actually opened the mouth of the blood basin, spit out a large pile of mixed evil beasts from his mouth, and suddenly exploded the pot on the wall.

The originally orderly team was hit by the evil beast, and the advance battalion of the trial army where Arehia was located was also divided, and she watched as one comrade was swallowed by the evil beast, but she could not do anything.The warm human blood and the black blood of the monsters mixed together, flowing along the crevices on the slate floor.

With the sound of the trumpet of retreat, the stone-throwing machines placed in the holy city were also activated, and the half-man-high granite stones fell from the sky, completely regardless of the city still had many of their own people and the royal army.

Elehia only remembers that a boulder had hit Captain Decato, who had just been guarding his side, and when he got up from the ground, he saw that he had been embedded in a slate that had been cracked with armor, like a piece of parchment full of folds, and his intestines were flowing out of the cracks in his abdomen, and a small waterhole was integrated under his body.

If you don't jump in front of the stone, I'm afraid it will end up like him, she thought.

As for how he finally got out of the encirclement and retreated to the wall, Elesia couldn't remember.There were screams and curses all around, and everyone was waving weapons and slashing them, not knowing whether they were fighting evil beasts or fighting with their companions.

A team of more than 100 people's judges survived, including only 12 of them.

“What next, Captain?”

“Captain Elicia!”

Elehia was able to return to God, yes, according to the rules of the judgment army, if the captain is killed in battle, the vice captain should take over the captain's position and lead the team to continue the battle.

She clenched her lips until an iron smell filled her mouth, "Let's go to the northern gate of the holy city, where the evil beast must pass if it wants to attack the new holy city."This order meant ceding all the neighbourhoods between the walls and the inner city, but she had no choice but no place more important than the church centre, the Helmes Cathedral.

And there is another sentence she did not say, the glacier cliffs can not stop this group of monsters, themselves and the remaining eleven, what role can play?

Perhaps today is the day of her dedication to heaven, may you be merciful, she prayed in her heart, and at the same time cried out, "The judgmental army will never give up!"Let's go!"

“The Judge never gives up!”The others shouted.

Twelve people lined up to trot all the way to the north gate, and the sound of fighting in the city wall area gradually weakened, and finally disappeared in the wind and rain.

After arriving at the north gate, Ailecia saw that there had been a number of judgment troops gathered before the suspension bridge, and it seemed that everyone was thinking the same thing, which made her feel a little better.

But in this time of crisis, the drawbridge was put down.Elehia frowned, went to a handsome samurai wearing a judge's red robe, held a fist and said: "Judging the grown-up, I am the captain of the fourth team of the advance camp, Elehia Quinn!"

“I’m Tucker Thor, the head of the North Gate defense."It's hard for you," the man nodded, "we have set up a first aid station behind the north gate, and if you have any wounded in your team, you can send them."

"Sir, I don't understand why the drawbridge is not raised at this time?"The evil beasts on the walls may swarm at any time, and we must ensure that the inner city is not lost.”

“Calm down, Captain, I know that you and your team are not afraid of sacrifice, but unnecessary sacrifices are meaningless, and the church is far from the last moment,” he said, rubbing the rain on his forehead.

The presiding judge said this, Elesia only found that he was frozen hard, and after he escaped from the battlefield, the sweat and cold rain mixed together, almost making her whole body freeze in the cold.The cold wind was blowing, and she could not help but shiver.

Take out the sheepskin bag in your underwear pocket and shake it in your palm, but only some sticky liquid.It seemed that she had accidentally crushed the pill during the battle, and she sighed and raised her head, only to find a brown chilling pill handed to her.

"Eat mine first," Tucker Toll smiled at her, "and then give me back."

Elehia was not kind, and she took the ball and swallowed it, "Maybe we won't have a chance to eat it again."

"Yes, that's good," Tucker nodded, "and it's too bad."

The voice just fell, a strong fishy air rushed from the stomach of Elehia, even if the corpses were everywhere, it would not emit such a disgusting taste, she felt that she was not eating a pill, but a mixture of flesh and blood that had rotted for a long time, and the unbearable acid constantly poured from the abdomen to the whole body, and the chill faded, followed by the scorching warm currents along the blood vessels.The body temperature gradually recovered, the already frozen sweat began to slide again, and the white air appeared on her top of her head, and the numb toes regained consciousness again.

"But not today," said the presiding judge, "but today," said the presiding judge, "the divine punishment army is coming from the cathedral, and the evil beast can't pass the north door."Take your people, go to the gathering ground, remember to check their pills.But don't be like you, it's not until you find out."

God's army, the most elite force in the hands of the church!Elihi heard it for a long time, but never witnessed it.But even if the divine punishment army is as powerful as the rumor, it is still human after all.With this body alone, no matter how to train, it is impossible to easily defeat a large group of mixed evil beasts.

But since the presiding judge had said so, she had to leave the north gate with eleven members of the team and move closer to the west.

Here, hundreds of retreating judgment troops have gathered, standing in the rain, allowing the rain to flow over the cheeks, and some even sitting directly on the ground, a listless appearance.Only a small number of people are still lined up in neat lines, waiting for enemies that may appear at any time.

If it had been a few days ago, Elecia would have come forward and scolded them, but now she is also dazed.In order to build this new holy city, countless compatriots are buried here, and it can be said that in every brick here, the blood of believers and judgment soldiers is condensed.The bishops often say that to occupy Helmes is to have the kingdom of God on earth.

Today, however, the kingdom of God seems to be falling into the hands of the devil’s minions.

“The beast is coming!”Someone shouted, “Get ready to fight the enemy!”

Alysiah shook his spirits, raised his sword, gazed at the dark shadow of the sky, and shouted, “For Hermes!”

“For the New Holy City!”
