The battle at the north of the city ended quickly. The troops that rushed in quickly occupied the north gate. Although the Sechtor troops directly under the church wanted to snatch the north gate back, they weren't a match for Li Huailin's elite troops after losing the protection of the city walls. After a few attacks, the remaining troops gave up on the north gate and fled.
Of course, Li Huailin immediately informed the troops outside the city that the north gate had fallen. The troops in the east immediately advanced toward the north gate. At first, the Sechtor civilians who were defending the east gate didn't know what was going on because they weren't informed of the ambush from the north gate. Besides, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the troops outside the city, the church didn't set up any defenses at the north gate. This was to prevent the troops outside the city from investigating. In the end, when the Sechtor troops in the east received the news of the north gate's fall, it was too late to stop them.
"What? The enemy broke into the north gate? " At the same time, the Church had finally received the news. The remaining soldiers of the assault team who had escaped heard the shocking report. Everyone was stunned.
"This … This is impossible. It's impossible for the enemy to know of our plan. Why would they ambush at the north gate?" A high-grade apostle couldn't help but yell.
"This … Someone must have snitched on us." A high-grade apostle at the side immediately shouted.
"Then … Where's that human spy?" Suddenly, they noticed that Li Huailin was missing. Yes, the first person they thought of was the outsider, Li Huailin. Although they had Sonia's guarantee, everyone was actually suspicious. If something really happened, the first person they thought of was Li Huailin.
"That person is missing. He must have snitched on us." A high-grade apostle at the side immediately shouted.
Of course, everyone turned to Sonia at the same time. They were now convinced that Li Huailin snitched on them and caused their plan to fail. But didn't you guarantee that Li Huailin wasn't a spy? Why don't you explain yourself now?
Sonia looked at them and found it ridiculous. Are you guys still trying to figure out who is responsible for this? You should know that the enemy has already charged into the city. Even if you discuss who is the spy, what's the use?
Of course, she couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on them. Anyway, Li Huailin's troops had arrived. "It seems like we can only rely on our Lord's power to repel the enemy. I need to contact him."
That's right, Sonia was still an Oracle, after all, so no one felt that there was anything wrong with her words. Instead, it made the high-ranking Apostles feel that they still had hope. That's right, I'm a believer of the Great God Byaki. The Great God Byaki will surely protect me.
Sonia left the meeting room just like that. The senior apostles thought she was going to contact Byakee. They waited with hope, but all they got were emergency reports from all over the city.
Now, Hildeirth City was in chaos. The army swarmed in from the north gate and engaged in street battles with the troops in the city. That's right. They didn't expect the Sechtor monsters to resist at such a time. After all, this was their holy city. Some fanatical believers charged forward fearlessly even though the enemy's army had entered the city. Even if they didn't have weapons, they would still sacrifice their lives.
Of course, these people didn't pose much of a threat to the troops, but they did slow down their progress. Li Huailin studied the situation for a while and divided the troops into several areas to occupy various districts, while he led his direct subordinates toward the central area where the church was located. Hildeirth City was huge and it would take time to clean it up. However, Li Huailin didn't have any intention of occupying the city. His main concern now was the situation in Byakee.
In the end, when the troops arrived at the church, they saw a shocking scene. Li Huailin discovered that the entire square in front of the church was surrounded by Sechtor Star Monsters. They were standing everywhere, and the dense mass of people would probably cause people with trypophobia to have a relapse. At first, Li Huailin thought that these people were here to defend their holy church, but he soon realized that this wasn't the case.
These people were just civilians in the city. When they learned that Hildeirth City had been breached, the first thing they thought of was to seek shelter at the church. Of course, they didn't seek shelter from the church, but from their god, Byakee. Therefore, these people that Li Huailin saw weren't enemies with weapons ready to resist, but a group of believers worshipping and praying to the church in the middle.
Of course, these people also noticed the huge movement of Li Huailin's troops, but in this situation, they didn't choose to fight to the death. Everyone ignored the appearance of Li Huailin's troops and continued to 'pray' to the church in the middle, hoping that their god, Byakee, would show his might and help them kill these invaders.
Of course, it was useless. It would be great if Byakee could show his spirit. Li Huailin was also looking for this guy, and he couldn't wait for it to come out. But the problem was that Byakee obviously didn't care about these believers and wouldn't care about them at all.
What should they do when facing these Sechtor monsters who blocked their way and didn't know how to fight back? Of course, they had to clear their way. Li Huailin's troops attacked without hesitation. They opened up a bloody path in the crowd and rushed to the church in the middle. Looking at their fallen companions, these deeply poisoned believers weren't afraid at all. They continued to pray devoutly, waiting for the arrival of Byakee.
The situation of these believers made the high-ranking apostles in the church want to vomit blood. That's right, they had no way to stop Li Huailin's troops. The only way they could think of was to rely on Byakee. But they didn't know how long it would take for their leader to contact Byakee. Now that the enemy was coming, they didn't know if they could survive until Byakee arrived.
At this time, they suddenly reported that a large number of believers were rushing towards the Church. Of course, they were very happy to hear this news. They didn't know how to buy time for their Lord Oracle. Now that these believers were here, wasn't it just right?
According to their expectations, these believers would, of course, risk their lives to protect their church. Although it was unlikely that they could stop the enemy's attack, at least they could buy a lot of time. But now, they heard that these believers didn't fight back at all. Instead, they were praying in the direction of the church. What the hell are you praying for? Why don't you help stop the enemy's troops?
This was a complete scam. The high-ranking apostles couldn't sit still when they heard this situation. They were about to tell the believers to get up and fight back. But as soon as they came out, they encountered Li Huailin's troops who had just arrived at the church's entrance.
That's right, Li Huailin's troops didn't face any resistance at all and directly rushed to the entrance of the church. Both sides were stunned when they saw each other. The high-level apostles didn't expect the other party to appear so quickly, while Li Huailin didn't expect the other party to be so self-aware and come out to give themselves up.
"It's … it's you!" Because Li Huailin was originally at the front row, when the two sides met, the high level apostles also immediately noticed Li Huailin. Seeing that the "spy" they thought had appeared in the enemy's troops, the high-ranking apostles gritted their teeth and looked at Li Huailin.
Of course, at this time, there was already an accompanying translator beside Li Huailin, but there was no need for an interpreter. Li Huailin basically knew what the other party meant from their expressions.
One of the high-ranking apostles pointed at Li Huailin and asked, "You actually deceived our leader!"
"Deceived your leader?" Li Huailin heard the words of the interpreter beside him and laughed. "Hey, hey, you guys still haven't figured out what's going on? Aren't your reactions a little too slow?"
"What?" Hearing Li Huailin's words, all the high-ranking apostles were taken aback. They didn't really understand what Li Huailin meant.
Just as they were puzzled, they suddenly heard the guards behind them shout "Leader!" They turned around and sure enough, it was their leader, Sonia, who had appeared. All the high-ranking apostles were overjoyed. Since their leader appeared here, it meant that she had contacted their Great God, Byakee.
"Leader, will our leader come to save us?" The group of high-ranking apostles looked at Sonia expectantly. Of course, they hoped that she would say "yes". This was their only hope now.
However, Sonia had no intention of paying attention to them. She directly walked up to Li Huailin and pulled off the hood on her head. Sonia's stunning face appeared before everyone and everyone was taken aback. Of course, most of them were surprised. Li Huailin's troops didn't expect the leader to be a human, and a beauty at that. On the other hand, the high-ranking apostles were even more surprised. How could it be Sonia? It wasn't that they didn't recognize Sonia. Of course, they knew that Sonia was the leader's younger sister. But why was she disguised as the leader? Where was the real leader, Midland?
What was even more surprising was that when Li Huailin saw Sonia approaching, he smiled and urged his horse forward. Just when everyone thought that both sides were about to negotiate, Li Huailin suddenly pulled Sonia up and placed her in front of him. On the other hand, Sonia leaned into Li Huailin's embrace.
"Huh?" Everyone at the scene was stunned.
