Almost at the same time when the female knight gave the warning, Lily also sensed a murderous aura coming at her through her beastly instincts!
Lily roared and jumped back a dozen meters. The others also retreated and raised their weapons. Calaxus activated a sacred amulet hanging on his chest, and the milky light of Order quickly enveloped the Raven Knight closest to the door. The next second, the door of the Horgus' abandoned house was blasted open by the dark magic. With a loud bang, the door and corrosive shadowy energy exploded.
The debris of the door hit the knights' shields, and the shadowy energy seeped into the ground, producing black smoke. Although Calaxus had activated the sacred amulet, it was a hasty spell, and the people in the abandoned house had been preparing for this spell for a long time. The power of the spell was extraordinary. Two careless knights were hit by the shadowy arrows and flew out screaming.
Under the cover of the explosion, a few dark figures rushed out of the abandoned house, broke into the knights and monks, and launched a crazy, suicidal attack. Lily saw the eyes of these people in black were red, and their faces were twisted as if they were addicted to drugs.
"The Cult of Armageddon!" The high-ranking cultivator was furious when he saw this. He waved his hand and cast a spell while shouting, "There are cultists here!"
"Knights, get into defensive formation!" Tridis also waved her two double-handed swords. "Don't let them go!"
The Raven Knights and the Sanctum warriors hated the Cult of Armageddon. As soon as the two sides met, they started a fierce battle. The guards of the alpha that Lily brought with her were not to be trifled with. These guys, who were considered fierce among the abhumans, let out all kinds of howls when they saw the alpha was attacked. Then, they rushed forward like raging beasts.
More cultists rushed out of the abandoned house.
The light of magic crisscrossed, and the collision of swords and armor produced bright sparks. Shouts and explosions instantly enveloped the entire hill. Lily heard a whistling sound coming from above. When she looked up, she saw a fireball the size of a washbasin flying out of the window on the second floor.
Lily grabbed a cultist from the side and swung him twice in the air like she was swinging a stick, sending the fireball flying. The fireball exploded dozens of meters away, shattering the rocks and raising a ten-meter-high dust column.
"Watch out!" Lily shouted as she threw the cultist in her hand at the window. "They are casting spells up there!"
With a loud bang, the cultist that Lily threw out smashed a big hole in the house and flew out of the other side of the house with a large number of broken bricks and tiles. But after the firepower was destroyed, every window on the second floor began to pour down magic explosions.
This time, even Lily had to step back. It was the tragedy of a pure warrior encountering a mage's bombardment.
The number of cultists hiding in the Horgus' Hut was beyond everyone's expectation. Moreover, this was the tearing point of Chaos, where all the power of Order was suppressed by at least a third. But the cultists could get a steady stream of power from the primordial magic energy. So the battle quickly turned into a mess. The Raven Knights, the Sanctum warriors, and the abhumans relied on the alpha's force field of Order to defend but not to attack. The cultists used the abandoned house as a stronghold, throwing all kinds of spells. At the same time, fearless warriors were rampaging on the battlefield. It was difficult for the cultists to break out of the encirclement, but they were invincible in the short term.
The battle was extremely tense. Lily grabbed an unlucky black warrior and used it as a weapon to smash away all the enemies who came close to her. She then waved the 'human hammer' in her hand and retreated to Calaxus. "Uncle! Who are they? Do you know them? "
"They are the Cult of Armageddon!" Calaxus' eyes twitched as he looked at the 'weapon' in the alpha's hand. He hated the Cult of Armageddon the most in his life. But when he saw the black warrior who was still breathing after being smashed by the alpha, he could not help but feel sorry for him. He knew how strong the black warriors of the Cult of Armageddon were. This kind of vitality was enough to keep the poor guy alive for at least 30 minutes under Lily's attack. "They are the cultists who worship the power of Chaos. I didn't expect them to be hiding here! Do they want to harm Fort Raven? "
Tridis also came up to Lily and Calaxus. The female knight, known for her monstrous strength, was good at wielding two double-handed swords. At this time, both of her swords were stained with the blood of the cultists. But after seeing the fighting style of the alpha, the female knight was still stunned. She quietly put her two swords behind her back and said to Calaxus in a hurry, "Senior monk, I feel something is wrong."
"What's going on?" Calaxus asked immediately. He knew that Tridis was a professional soldier, and a professional soldier could see a lot more than a scholarly monk like him on the battlefield.
"They don't have enough strength to break out," the female knight said quickly. "These cultists are not weak, and if they are determined to break out, they should be able to burst out with more power. But now they are holing up in the buildings, as if buying time. That defies common sense, a person trapped in a land of death would not do that, it's a waste of stamina and a chance to break out."
Calaxus frowned. He also realized that the female knight's judgment was right.
But why were the cultists buying time?
A sane person could not figure out the logic of the cultists, but at least one thing was certain: no matter what these lunatics were doing, they could not let them get what they wanted. Thwarting any plan of the cultists under any circumstances was the only way to deal with them.
"Attack," the high-ranking monk said, gritting his teeth. "Our battle here should also affect the boundary of the tearing point. The people outside will soon realize that something is wrong and come in to support us."
Looking at the Horgus' Hut from the outside of the tearing point of Chaos, all that could be seen was a shadow of Chaos shrouded in purple-black smoke. But now that the power of Order and the power of Chaos had clashed on the hill, the flash of light was enough to penetrate the mist. Although the people outside had received orders to stay in place, several of them were senior monks from Sanctum. They could sense the presence of the Cult of Armageddon from the energy fluctuations. In this case, they would definitely come in to support.
But the plan could not keep up with the changes.
The cultists in the Horgus' Hut seemed to have completed their 'work' ahead of time.
A more powerful dark magic burst out of the building and formed a temporary curtain of darkness outside the Horgus Hut. Amidst the chaos, one could hear inanimate roars and screams that seemed to come from the Sinful Abyss. The curtain of darkness only lasted for a few seconds, and then all the magic was sucked back into the Horgus Hut.
The people from the three sides were stunned for a moment.
The next moment, an explosion came from the side of the Horgus' Hut. The cultists blew up the wall at a weak point of the knights' siege, and a group of Cult of Armageddon believers in black armor and robes suddenly rushed out.
Lily saw a one-armed man in noble attire and a freckled girl with a tattoo on her arm surrounded by the cultists. The freckled girl was holding a faintly glowing disc-shaped object in her arms. Lily's eyes narrowed when she saw the disc-shaped object.
Doggie had found out that someone was stealing something from the house.
Doggie was accumulating her anger.
Doggie chose to bark and pounce.
Calaxus suddenly felt a murderous aura rising around him. It made him feel as if he was standing in front of a beast. He turned his head and saw the alpha glaring at the cultists who were trying to break out of the encirclement. A pair of Frostfire Claws appeared in her hands, and the fangs in her mouth were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Alpha?"
"Ouch! That's mine!"
Outside the hills, at the end of the green field, Hao Ren, who was barbecuing meat over a bonfire outside the living cabin, suddenly looked up to the south.
Lady Gloom glanced at him. "What's wrong?"
"I heard something." Hao Ren frowned. The purplish-black shadow in the south had not changed, and there was no sound.
"I didn't hear anything," Lady Gloom said without looking up. "It's your illusion. Humans often have all kinds of illusions."
"No, I don't have illusions." Hao Ren shook his head after a brief thought. He got to his feet and dusted himself off. "I'm going to check out the situation."
Lady Gloom did not show any emotion in the face of Hao Ren's sudden decision. She just quietly asked, "Do you need any help?"
Hao Ren glanced at the 'camp' beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head. "No, you stay here and watch the things. Don't let the beasts mess around. I'll be back soon."
"If you want to go to the Torn Point of Chaos, I suggest you take me with you," Lady Gloom said. It was rare for her to take the initiative this time. "My skills are no worse than yours."
Hao Ren looked at the gloomy woman in surprise. But he obviously did not trust this mysterious new 'teammate'. He shook his head and said, "No, I won't act recklessly."
"Do whatever you want," Lady Gloom whispered and turned to look at the bonfire without saying another word.
Hao Ren shrugged and walked to his North Dipper. For the first time, he activated the high-tech transformation function. "Switch to tank mode."
