The gate of the church district collapsed with a loud crash.
No one knew who let out the first roar, but everyone knew that the gate was pushed open by the power of ordinary people.
Without the support of Extraordinary power, even the gate leading to the church was nothing more than that.
"Destroy the church!" "Kill the bishop!" "For the children!"
The furious crowd seemed to have forgotten the horror of the Extraordinary at this moment, as if they had forgotten the pressure that the cathedral had accumulated over hundreds of years. The White Knight charged at the front of the crowd, and the freelance mercenaries and adventurers from around Calor and Louen followed closely behind, forming a second wave. Behind them were the farmers and merchants wielding sickles, hoes, canes, and pitchforks. The huge crowd surged into the gate like a tide of mud, and the limited number of Knights and soldiers guarding the gate were drowned in an instant.
This was the first resistance of ordinary people against Extraordinary forces, but after all, this was a world where Extraordinary power was completely superior to ordinary people. Directly attacking the defense line of the Knight of the Church would only make this action a meaningless sacrifice. So, in addition to dozens of White Knights, the ones at the front of the charge were the mercenaries and adventurers gathered from all over the place.
These people were at least relatively well-equipped, or had a certain level of Extraordinary power, and they were able to contend with the Knight of the Church with their numbers. But they were still a group of people who had been controlled and oppressed by the church for a long time, and were also part of the "ordinary people".
The newspapers and programs that were broadcast everywhere not only infuriated the people in the fields, but also the people who lived on the edge of their blades. They volunteered to be the first wave of attack to attack the cathedral, and now, the first wave of attack had passed the first line of defense in the Church District and continued to advance toward the cathedral.
Amber and her team blended in with the crowd. When they crossed the square of the chapel, her sharp eyes caught the moving figures at the edge of the square.
They were the clergymen of the chapel. They had taken off their conspicuous clerical clothes and put on clothes that were no different from ordinary people. They also tied white strips of cloth around their arms. As they ran along the square, they guided the crowd and faithfully performed their duties.
Amber breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did the clergymen remember to wear white strips of cloth as a mark, but they also changed their clothes in advance. It was a wise move.
The tide of anger was destined to sweep through the entire chapel in a semi-out of control state. It was almost impossible to control the angry crowd with reason. Before the operation, the crowd had repeatedly promoted the fact that "those with white strips of cloth on their arms are allies". But when the anger burned, the gorgeous clergymen's robes were bound to be more eye-catching than the strips of cloth on their arms.
In just ten minutes, the crowd had crossed the chapel, which could be said to be defenseless, and arrived at the circular square in front of the cathedral without causing any damage or bloodshed.
The thunderous roars and the loud noises of all kinds of weapons and spells echoed over Louen City. The solemn doors and gorgeous stained glass windows of the cathedral creaked uneasily in the waves of sound. A priest in a gold-trimmed white robe rushed into the great cloister. The holy light around him was very dim, and a charred scar covered his face. It was the scar left by the Holy Light Grenade after the shield was broken.
..... ..... Thugs! Thugs everywhere! "The clergyman shouted as he ran in the corridor." They have the holy light too! Those thugs … Those thugs have the holy light too! "
People were running everywhere in the corridor. The panicked clergymen ran like headless flies between the shining and gorgeous doors. A black-robed monk stopped the clergyman who was running in the corridor. "Where is Knight of the Church? Where are the soldiers? Where are the people guarding outside? "
"They were scattered! The soldiers were scattered by a group of mercenaries who suddenly rushed out. Knight was defeated by those in white armor. The rest of the people can't stop them. Those thugs are going to break into the cathedral! "
A loud noise came from the circular square, mixed with the loud noise of something falling and shattering. The glass windows of the cathedral shook in the loud noise. A priest with blood on his face ran from afar. "Priest! Priest! The barrier in the square is about to break! "
Desperate cries came from all directions. "Where is the divine circle? Why hasn't the divine circle been activated? "
"The chapel has been breached. The divine circle there hasn't been activated since the beginning!"
"The bishop … where is the bishop?"
Finally, someone remembered the temporary bishop of Louan City. Finally, someone remembered the person who was supposed to be in charge of the situation at this moment. The priest whose face was burned by the holy light grabbed the black robe of the disciplinary monk and shouted without any regard for etiquette, "Fran? Where is Bishop Beran? Why hasn't he appeared? "
"The bishop is in the prayer room. He is communicating with God."
"There is no time. The thugs are going to break in!"
"I'll call him!"
Loud noises came from the square one after another. All the doors and windows of the cathedral began to shake. The trembling priests and priests gathered in the main hall of the huge building. The last group of Knight of the Church stood in front of the spellcasters. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the gilded white door in front of them. Some were praying in low voices, some were cursing loudly. Everyone was stirring up their own power of the holy light, ready to deal with the moment the door was breached.
Until the 'thugs' stormed into the church, they never thought that they would face such a powerful force. They thought that their power as Extraordinaries and the divine circle of the church would be enough to tear all the intruders apart. However, all their hopes were dashed. The divine circle of the church had not been activated from the beginning, and those 'thugs' … they also had the holy light in their hands.
In this land ruled by the God of Holy Light, there was holy light that did not belong to the gods!
A terrified priest listened to the noise outside and could not help but ask in a trembling voice, "Those guys who use the holy light and war hammer … where did they come from?"
"The church has never cultivated that kind of … monster." A Knight of the Church wiped the cold sweat and blood on his forehead. He adjusted his grip on his sword and tried to calm down. "Their holy weapons are powerful, and they cast spells as if they don't know exhaustion. We wanted to launch a surprise attack while they were casting spells, but half of us were killed by their continuous attacks of the holy light. They are monsters!"
"The Lord … the Lord will save us …"
The explosion from outside suddenly stopped. A rush of ecstasy surged in the hearts of the priests who had almost given up hope. However, the faces of the experienced Knight of the Church and the disciplinary monks changed drastically. "The protection of the gate is broken!"
The light curtain covering the gate finally could not withstand the continuous damage and shattered into pieces like a broken white crystal. Two White Knight of the Church wielded the heavy mechanical war hammer and smashed the gilded white gate with all their strength. As the hammer heads came into contact with the gate, the repulsive mechanism and the gravity adjustment runes inside the war hammer were instantly activated. In that brief moment that was too short for human beings to react, the war hammer burst out with a terrible impact that was enough to turn boulders into dust. With a loud bang, the gate of the Louen Grand Church was torn apart.
"Activate the shield!"
The White Knights were the first to rush to the open door. Everyone activated the energy shield on their armor. A holy white light shrouded these warriors … the field priests. They rushed through the smoke and let out a roar unique to them. "The doctor is here!"
Amidst the chaotic smoke and dust, a dozen Holy Light spells of varying strength flew from the opposite side, creating ripples on the white knight's energy shield. Wright carried the heavy mechanical war hammer with one hand and fearlessly faced the enemy's attacks as he continued to move forward. As the smoke and dust dispersed, he saw the situation on the opposite side. Seven to eight wounded knights of the Holy See formed a shaky defense line. A thin layer of Holy Light floated on their metal shields and armor. Human bodies without magic capacitors and overload modules could only output so much energy in such a situation. Behind those knights of the Holy See, there were a few dozen priests and clerics in cloth robes who looked like they could not withstand a single blow.
This was the last resistance of the Louan Cathedral?
The weak clergy and the Church Knight of the Church who guarded them gathered at the end of the hall. Seeing the White Knight of the Church breaking through the door and the "mobs" pouring in, the brave ones among them expressed their stance by shouting, "You demon-possessed scum! You will go to hell! You will be burned ten thousand times by your demonic master! The God of Holy Light will … "
However, these loud curses could not stop the White Knights from taking action. As an elite troop that had been converted from professional soldiers, the first batch of White Knights that attacked the church strictly executed the tactical movements that they had practiced countless times in the combat corps. They raised their shields, found cover nearby, and took out grenades from their waists. They opened the safety pins and threw them over. While they were at it, they also fired a dozen grenades.
The unreasonable explosion drowned out the objections of the Louan clergy. In the smoke and dust and loud noises caused by the grenades, large patches of holy light suddenly lit up and went out.
Leit carried his warhammer and led the team forward. In the smoke, he saw a few Louan clergy and the Church Knight of the Church still moving. These people survived by relying on their protective artifacts, great luck, and their comrades. When they saw the approaching White Knight of the Church, one of the clergy raised his hand almost subconsciously, condensed a scorching light ball, and shot it at Leit.
Wright did not dodge and allowed the light ball to fly in front of him. A small translucent figure appeared out of thin air in an instant. The small figure grabbed the light ball with shocking agility, then stuffed the light ball into its mouth and gnawed on it as it dissipated in the air.
This completely defied common sense. The clergy who launched the attack exclaimed, "… Demon … Demon! You are all demons! "
Leit clenched the warhammer in his hand and walked towards the Louan clergy who had begun to talk nonsense. "You call all your enemies demons and heretics, but you have forgotten the doctrine of the holy light. The power of judgment should belong to justice, but it has become in your hands … Forget it, megaton hammer!"
The battle in the cathedral hall ended in a very short time. When an enemy fell, Leit put the warhammer on his shoulder again and looked back at his subordinates. "There can't be only these few people in the cathedral … The other clergy may be hiding in various rooms and secret passages. Split up and find them, and treat the injured civilians and mercenaries in time."
The White Knight took the order and left. More mercenaries, adventurers, and armed civilians began to enter the cathedral and several ancillary facilities near the cathedral, sweeping the hiding clergy room by room. However, in this seemingly smooth situation, Leit could not help but frown.
A shadow emerged in the air next to him, and Amber jumped out of the shadow to the ground. "That Fran? Belang is not in this batch of clergy. "
Leit instantly realized where the strange feeling in his heart came from. Almost at the same time, he felt an abnormal energy wave coming from the depths of the cathedral.
A White Knight who was on guard nearby also noticed the abnormality. The eyepiece on the White Knight's armor, which was used to detect abnormal magical fluctuations, allowed him to see the gathering of dangerous energy. "Grand Patriarch! There's a situation! It's underground! "
