After talking about this matter, Roland cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Next is the news about the Devils and the ruins."
He told Tilly about Border Town's recent discoveries behind the snowy mountains and in the Concealing Forest. "I originally planned to send witches and the soldiers of the First Army to bring the people trapped in the ruins back to Border Town, but the heavy snow that came more than a month early disrupted the plan."
"The legendary Devil Army is actually so close, and there are still people living in the ruins from more than four hundred years ago …" Tilly was stunned, "I'm starting to believe what you told me …"
Anna tilted her head and looked at Roland, who coughed twice, "According to the scene observed and the reaction of the other side, the Devils should have been entrenched behind the snowy mountains for many years. I guess they are limited by the scope of the Red Mist and cannot continue to expand to the mainland of the kingdom, so for the time being they will not pose a threat to Border Town. In the next two years, I will establish coastal guard points to monitor their movements. " He paused, "But the sealed person in the ruins, she is likely to know the truth about the Holy City of Taquila and the Church's defeat."
"I also think so," Tilly closed her eyes and thought for a moment, "Is there a way to go directly by air instead of by land? Ashes said that you have a tool that can carry people when it is filled with hot air. "
"You want to take her out of the ruins on the day of the Months of Demons?" Roland frowned, "The Cloud Gazer hot air balloon can carry ten people, or make it a little bigger, expanding the number of people to fifteen, but no matter what, it is impossible to take the soldiers of the First Army. If we encounter the Devils, the witches may encounter casualties, plus the omnipresent demonic beasts … it is too dangerous. "
"If we only rely on the Witch Cooperation Association, it is indeed very dangerous," Tilly nodded, "But now we have Shavi and Ashes, the degree of danger has been reduced a lot. 【Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net
According to what you said before, the Devils' main attack method is long-range spear throwing, and their strength is far beyond that of ordinary people in close combat. In this aspect, Shavi's invisible barrier could block several spears, and Ashes could suppress the enemy in close combat. Now that the Months of the Demons have just arrived, the strength of the demonic beasts is not strong, if you want to go to the ruins, now is the best time. "
Roland was a little hesitant. The last time he fought with the demons, he was at a disadvantage in aerial combat. The thought of flying over again made him feel uneasy. However, what Tilly said was also reasonable. Sylvie's Magic Eyes could ensure that the enemy would discover them first. As long as the hot air balloon maintained a height of ten to fifteen meters, which was to fly close to the treetops, it was completely certain that it would land before the enemy approached. Next, with Nightingale and Ashes's powerful attacks, the small team of ten or so demons was completely annihilated. Even if there were any survivors, Shavi and Anna's double shields would ensure the safety of the team.
He pondered for a moment, "Are you sure you want to go?"
"I think, this may be an opportunity to solve the mystery," Tilly said frankly. "This year's Months of Demons came early, and the demonic beasts appeared in the South Sea. I always have a bad feeling."
Roland's heart slightly shivered, he also had this feeling. The Months of Demons was unlikely to be an abnormal phenomenon caused by climate change, he faintly felt that this was inseparable from the Devils and the Church.
"What about the team?"
"I don't know much about the witches in Border Town, but I will personally go here," Tilly said without hesitation.
…
Snowflakes fluttered in the gray sky. Mayne and Tayfun slowly climbed the walls of Hermes, which had just experienced a battle.
Warm black blood flowed under their feet, melting the white snow into a viscous blood. Fortunately, this blood was flowing from the enemy's body. Hundreds of God's Punishment Army soldiers were standing upright on the walls, waiting for the demonic beasts to launch the next wave of attack.
"Your Excellency!" The warriors of the Judgement Army, who assisted the God's Punishment Army, clenched their fists and saluted. Most of them looked a little immature, with a mixture of fear and excitement in their eyes.
"They are still children," Tayfun sighed as they walked to an open space, looked at the Wilderness, and said, "When I was their age, I was still grinding flour for the nobles in the mill."
"The God's Punishment Army must prioritize the defense of the New Holy City, so I can only hand over the stubbornly resisting remnants of Wolfsheart City to the experienced Army of Judges to clean up. Moreover, these people are just recently promoted believers, so before this, they have never really been on the battlefield," Mayne said helplessly. "This snow came too early.
Tayfun hesitated, "The Holy Book didn't record such a situation."
"The Holy Book was also written by the Pope, so it's inevitable that there are omissions." The bishop leaned on the cold battlement, overlooking the cliff full of corpses. Ordinary demonic beasts couldn't climb such a high wall, and only hybrid beasts could threaten the Holy City. "As long as the general direction it pointed out is correct, it's fine. From the appearance of the wild beasts last year, we can infer that we have about ten years left. "
"Two years to unify the Four Kingdoms, and eight years to build the God's Punishment Army. At that time, the church will have a huge army of more than ten thousand people." He continued, "Using the strong city wall and terrain of Hermes, we will stick to this plateau until the enemy's strength is reversed."
"I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to see that time."
"It has nothing to do with age, Lord Tayfun," Mayne comforted. "Too many people won't be able to see that moment, like Allen, Stone, Lizzy …"
"And Heather," Tayfun added.
"Yes, and Heather." He nodded. "But no matter what, there will be people who will inherit our mission and continue on."
"Don't say such discouraging words." The old man shook his head and smiled. "By the way, how is the snow powder formula Zero got? Has it been tested in the Pivotal Secret Area? "
"It's used to deal with mortals, it won't be of much help to the church," Mayne said disdainfully. "Snow powder may be used to clean up groups of demonic beasts, but our real enemy is the Abyss Devils. Its lethality in open areas is greatly reduced, and if we want to make it powerful enough to injure the heavily armored Devils, we must make it very large. Except for the God's Punishment Army, no one can throw a bag of snow powder half the size of a human body. "
"Is that so … What a pity."
"If we want to defeat the Devils, there is no chance of using any tricks," Mayne said word by word. "Only by defeating them head-on can we survive."
At this moment, a long horn sounded from the watchtower on the side of the city wall.
"Woo — — — —"
A long horn meant that the demonic beasts were coming.
"Let's go back to the cathedral, there will be another battle here."
"Yes." Tayfun nodded, and had just turned away when the horn sounded again.
"Woo — — — Woo — — —"
Two long horns meant that there were many mixed demonic beasts among the demonic beasts. Mayne's heart trembled. There was no doubt that the God's Punishment Army would face a tough battle.
"But … why is it so fast? This is only the first month of the Months of Demons. "
However, before the echo of the horn ended, the third horn sounded. The dull and continuous sound was like thunder, rolling over the sky of Hermes and did not subside for a long time.
"Woo — — — Woo — — Woo — —"
Mayne could hardly believe his ears. He looked at Tayfun, who was also looking at him in shock. The three horns meant that the situation was extremely urgent, and the New Holy City was in danger! Even last time when the demonic beasts broke into the periphery of the cathedral, there was no such horn sound.
"What did the watchtower see?"
Mayne soon found the answer.
Among the demonic beasts, there were two extremely large monsters. They had four thick fangs, four feet and two hands, and were covered in pitch-black fur. One of their feet was as thick as the torso of a mixed demonic beast. From afar, the giant beasts looked like a moving fortress. Each step they took left a deep mark on the permafrost covered plain. If the demonic beasts around them did not retreat in time, they would also be trampled into a pool of flesh and blood.
There were many records of them in the Holy Book, such as the Announcer of the Dead, the Fearful Beast of Hell, the Fangs of the Devil … But what scared Mayne was not their terrible appearance, but the meaning they represented.
