Chapter 67:Battle of Hermes (Part 2)

But the expected final battle did not take place.

A man walked up to the samurai and pressed her sword hilt.

“All back off.”His voice was not high, but clear and powerful, and Arehia noticed that the other party was one of the members of the sequence that still maintained, and that his arm was wearing the head of the badge, "God's punishment army came."

Not far away, not far away a team of tall samurai from the north door fish came out, they dressed in clear body armor, reflected the silver luster under the infiltration of rain, behind the red cloak, the weapons in their hands were different.Some have shield swords, some hold scythes or iron axes.After crossing the drawbridge, they did not re-team, but dispersed and faced the evil beast that was coming straight to the coming.

What kind of war is this, it is nonsense!In the face of power and speed far more than the human hybrid evil beast, only to maintain the formation, gather the strength of the crowd to fight to win, they are now this situation, do you want to fight alone?And, let God punish the army alone, watching on their own side?

“We have to support them!”

"No," said the man, shaking his head, his face a little gloomy, "and if we look at it, we'll just go up and rush up, it will only drag them down."

The drag?Elihia stared at each other in anger, did he think wrongly, this person is just a greedy person who is afraid of death?She clasped her sword and prepared to bypass him to join the battle—and though she was confused about the future of the new holy city, all she could do was die in the face of the enemy.

Before taking two steps, the samurai saw an improbable scene.

A flying alien swooped down from the sky, and its appearance was as terrifying as a messenger of hell, with huge wings covered with gray feathers, and could reach twelve feet when completely opened.The head is like a bird, but with a pair of horns, and the barbeds on the two paws are enough to cut into the samurai's breastplate.

Vertical fall from high altitudes is their usual method of attack, hidden and extremely difficult to defend.Even if the two hands with a heavy shield, it will be washed down, the huge impact force will make the shield arm bones smash, the chest cavity is squashed, almost ten deaths.The only way to deal with it is to roll out when the alien is about to fall to the ground, so that it is possible to avoid this dangerous blow.

But the punishment army did not dodge, a silver warrior put forward the posture of facing the enemy, in the alien jumped in front of him in the moment of the hand out of his hands, with the palm of the other side of the claw pad, its impact force is large, actually issued like a snowman bucket blizzled sound.A mist of water lifted from him and the monster, and the armor made a creak of twists.

His right foot bent, his left foot straightened, his body twisted into a straight line pointing to the sky, and the alien could not crush him for a while.Another samurai aimed at this frozen flying different type of flying to throw a short javelin, the speed of the speed so that Elehia only saw a silver flash, the javelin accurately ran through the head of the monster, smashing it.

The Silver Armorman threw the alien corpse that was still convulsing to the ground, and his arm was not normally bent, and it was clear that the attack was not unscathed, and the bones of his arms had been broken.But if he pulls out the axe in his lumbars, he kills the other evil beasts.ㄨ

With manpower alone against this group of monsters, Elehia could not believe his eyes, hundreds of divine samurai rushed into the flock of evil beasts, the red cloak is like a torrent of blood, hard to stop the enemy's progress.She now understood what the chief of command meant by "drag", that these samurai had the ability to be an enemy, and that each of them was as powerful, quick, and responsive as a mixture of evil beasts—no, or even stronger.Ordinary beasts have almost no power in front of them.

“That’s great!”Alysian felt a sincere joy, and with this brave and powerful samurai, the Cathedral of Hermes could not fall."Ah, yes, I have not asked your name, and my name is Elecia Quinn, the judge of the army."Do you seem to know the fighting ability of the Gods?

The other side looked at her, eyes like ice and rain without temperature, he did not report the name, only said quietly: "My brother is a god of punishment."

*********************************************************************************************************

“It looks like it won,” Bishop Mayne, at the top of the cathedral, held up a lookout.This is the highest point of the new holy city, using the far-seeing tools of the fjord sea merchants, overlooking most of the battlefield."Let the stone-throwing machine stop, and the God-punishable army will soon attack the city."

“Isn’t victory the expected thing?”The other one spoke.He was wearing the same golden patriarchy as Mayne, but his voice was much older: "The point is that the armies of the four kingdoms are finished."

“Yes, in this way, their border defenses are empty,” said the last man, who appears the youngest of the three, in her early thirties, and the only woman among the three archbishops.More than 5,000 well-equipped and well-trained standing troops and nearly a thousand knights, even if replenished immediately, would take four to five years.Well..." She groaned, and said, "What a wonderful thing."

“But in order to achieve this, we also lost a lot of the judgment army, they are the backbone of the church,” Mayne sighed. “If this plan is not the fastest to achieve results, I really don’t want to throw them into this purgatory.”

The old man stroked his beard and said, “We have no other choice, the wild beast has appeared, as recorded in the holy book, and there is not much time left.”If we cannot unify the entire continent, we will concentrate our strength and meet us only with destruction.”

"There is nothing wrong with destruction," said the woman, smiling licently, "that human beings are greedy, vicious, mercenary, and do things that are more terrible than evil beasts under the banner of righteousness, and perhaps the devils of hell are much better than ours."

“Heather!”The old man shook his beard, "Your speech is simply against you, do you want to violate God's will?" 」

"You don't need to worry about it, Monseigneur Teflon," Heather shrugged and disapprovingly, "the person in charge of the tribunal is me, not you."Does God ask us to survive?How do you know that his old man doesn’t care more about the devil?”

“You . . .”

“Enough is enough!“Tiffle, Heather!”Mayne said, "This is the end of the day, I will report the situation to the Pope later, and you will do your own thing."

...

After the two left, Mayne stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking north - behind the break of the desperate mountains, the eternal winter land covered by ice, and then west, it was barbaric.That’s the beginning of everything.

He knew that Bishop Teflon was right, that God’s punishment of the samurai was too rare, and that he needed to be faithful to the Holy See, and that he could transform himself with strong willpower, and that the church had saved the ranks of less than a thousand people after nearly a hundred years of accumulation.If you want to fight the devil, the number is far from enough.

But the whole of the North could only provide so many divinely punishing armies, and wanting more samurai, had no choice but to unify the mainland.

Of course, Bishop Heather was equally true when she served as the ecclesiastical arbiter, judging tens of thousands of wicked people and witches.The worst of them, or the witches, are not far more than the deliberately staged today.

The higher the position in the church, the clearer it is to feel that God has no good or evil, nor right or evil.

"How do you know that his old man doesn't care more about the devil?"Thinking of Heather's words, Mayne couldn't help laughing, I'm afraid she was the only one who could say nothing to say to her.He thought, but God neither blesses the world nor cares for the devil.

They love the winning side.
