"Ahhh............h

"Help...... Help me......!! ”

The screams came and went, and the previous scene was gone, replaced by a hell of death with screams. Not only that, but the juice began to evaporate soon after it hit the ground, and it didn't take long to see a layer of turquoise mist gradually emerge, and those who had not drunk the juice before also began to become miserable at this time, they fell to the ground, struggling hard, their faces were blue and pale, and their hands scratched their throats desperately, and they trembled and lost their breath in the blink of an eye.

"Holy Guardian!"

Looking at this scene in front of him, the bishop also reacted. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to unleash a magic spell, and soon saw a pillar of light descend from the sky and fall on him. With the bishop as the center, a halo with a diameter of five meters was formed. And within the range of this aura, the fog immediately rolled and scattered, as if it was "hissing" and disappearing like snow shining by the sun's rays, and disappeared without a trace.

"It's ......... Necromantic Mist! ”

Looking at this scene in front of him, the bishop also felt chills all over his body, as a senior priest, he naturally recognized that the fog in front of him was not an ordinary natural phenomenon. It's a product of necromantic alchemy, but why is there a necromantic mist here? And, if he remembers correctly......... Thinking of this, the bishop shuddered suddenly, and he raised his head and looked around. At this time, there are no living people in the entire square, if there was still some ** breath just now, then now this place has completely become a realm of death. Except for the bishop and the two stunned squires beside him, there was not even a single living person left!

"Quick. Let's get out of here and head back to the Temple of the True Eye! ”

Without the slightest hesitation. The bishop immediately gave the order, and then he turned around and hurried down the terrace. And the two attendants didn't say much. Instead, they followed him closely. Although it stands to reason that the Bishop should always be accompanied by a paladin when traveling, this time due to the Templar Order and Dogant. There was tension between Soros, so the bishop did not bring the paladin, but only two squires. But now it looks like it was clearly a wrong choice!

The whole square was dead silent, and even the departure of a bishop could not change the situation here. The turquoise mist rolled like the waves of the sea, moving forward. Penetrate everywhere it can. And those who participated in the memorial had already fallen to the ground and did not react again. Their eyes were round, their hands stiff and claw-like, and their gaping mouths were covered with dim, pitch-black blood. A fishy, strange smell mixed with the mist, releasing a disgusting stench.

No one saw it, and at this moment, the man who fell first suddenly rolled his eyes. Then, a low beast-like roar came out of his throat. Echoing in the empty square. Then I saw the man stagger to his feet, filthy black blood dripping down the corners of his mouth, his skin turning iron and pale, only his two eyes still emitting a bright red glow. From afar, it looks like two red lights in the dark mist.

Immediately afterward, red lights began to emerge one by one.

"Gather all the clergy at once. Seal down the temple and activate the Divine Protection Barrier!! ”

The bishop standing in the hall paled. But he still pulled himself together, gritted his teeth and gave the order. Along the way, he saw countless corpses. There are men, there are women, there are old people, there are children. They were all dressed in brand new clothes, and they all seemed to be enjoying the joy of the festival, but in the blink of an eye, death came without warning, bringing them endless pain. The bishop was furious and distressed, but what could he do? Tagus is only a small city, and it is naturally impossible for a bishop sent by the True Eye to possess the power of the legendary level. Otherwise, he could try to dispel the poisonous mist and save the inhabitants of Tagus. It's a pity that he's just a white cardinal, and in terms of strength, he's not even as good as Nadia. Naturally, it was impossible to dispel these poisonous mists, and in fact, just ensuring that he and his two attendants could return to the temple safely was barely enough. If it's a little later, who knows what will happen!

Fortunately, on New Year's Eve, the clergy also needed to pray and sing hymns to praise the gods, and except for some who would go out to give food to the poor, everyone else was in the temple, and because of this, the temple was still fighting. However, how long it can be supported is another question.

"What are we going to do next, Lord Bishop?"

After closing the temple door and activating the protective barrier, a paladin soon walked up to the bishop and asked in a low voice. And looking at his face, which was a little pale because of uneasiness, the bishop couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it was before, they had Nadia here, and these paladins naturally didn't have to worry about these problems. As a godly knight, Nadia has considerable prestige in the hearts of the priests in this region. This is also one of the reasons why as soon as she ran to the "Free Army for National Salvation", some clergy members immediately "defected" to the past.

But now, Nadia was not here, and in her place was another paladin, who had only been in this position for a month, so it was no wonder that he was so nervous. After all, before this, Nadia was a knight of the gods, and later promoted to the rank of grand knight, and also participated in the cult conflict in Casalans and the investigation mission of the western wilderness, which is already quite a glorious feat in the eyes of the paladin. Compared to her, this paladin was not very old, and he didn't have anything to convince the public, so it was no wonder that he was so worried.

But it's useless to talk about it now, now Nadia has temporarily lost her divine powers, and even if she is here, she is just like an ordinary paladin, and she can't help much.

"Light the fire of truth now, inform others of our current situation, and ask for the support of the other brother temples and churches!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the bishop immediately opened his mouth and gave the order. And hear this. The paladin couldn't help but be stunned.

"But Lord Bishop, it will take at least three days for the nearest Sun Temple to reach us. Not to mention the road closures now with heavy snowfall, the worst-case scenario. I'm afraid it won't be there for a week! ”

"It's the only way."

The bishop naturally knew that the other party was telling the truth, but now he had no other way. Those who can perform the high-level undead alchemy such as Necromantic Mist are definitely lich-level existences. With his current strength, he can still compete with the other party in the temple, and if it is outside, then it is difficult to say. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, he didn't believe it either, but now all the signs are there. It is likely that Dogant has united with a lich and intends to destroy this place once and for all—the bishop shuddered at the thought of the lord's strange behavior during this time. He finally understood why the other party held the Ivy Festival abnormally, he wanted to take this opportunity to completely wipe out the inhabitants of the city and turn them into undead creatures who obeyed his orders!

It's madness!!

If he had been a paladin, he would have already raised his sword and gone to the door -- unfortunately, he was not a paladin, and in fact, the only paladin who was qualified to go directly to the door with a sword was not here, and she had lost her original strength.

"Roar――――――!!"

And at this very time. Suddenly, there was a beastly howl outside, and at the sound of this voice, the bishop's face suddenly changed.

"Not good!!"

Inside the city of Tagus. It's hell at the moment. Festive lights and garlands still hang there, as if the smell of the festival remains, and the smell of death and blood spreads below. But it turned the festival into an absurd and terrifying nightmare. The dead staggered down the streets, low roars coming out of their mouths. In this way, the tide of death slowly moved forward, gradually penetrating every corner of the city.

"Drink, ahhhhh

The sword flashed.

A pale and stiff man was beheaded like this. But even so, his body still struggled forward, and then the soldier in front of him withdrew his long sword, kicked the man, and then kicked him down the stairs, only to see the man roll down like a stone, smashing into the undead surging below, causing a commotion. Seeing this scene, the soldier couldn't help but shudder, and then screamed loudly.

"Quick, shut it down!! Close the door!! “

Hearing his words, the other two soldiers also hurried over, pushed the heavy wooden door shut, and then quickly lowered the deadbolt, and soon, from the other side of the heavy door, there was another low roar and knocking sound. Hearing these voices, those soldiers couldn't help but show frightened expressions.

"Damn, what the hell is going on!!"

Looking at this scene, the team leader couldn't help but shout, although most of the people went to participate in the Ivy Spring Festival, but there must always be someone to keep vigil. And they were the patrol responsible for keeping vigil on this section of the wall, and because of this, they barely escaped, and when they first found that the situation was wrong, they sent people down to investigate. But those who went down either died in the poisonous fog or were killed by the undead. Seeing this scene, these soldiers dared to look at the situation again, and hurriedly returned to the city wall. Fortunately, the walls were higher than those poisonous fogs, and they were able to barely escape the catastrophe. Otherwise, these soldiers would probably not have escaped death.

But even so, they were close to death.

"What now?"

Although I don't know why this happened, these patrols were veterans after all, and they quickly calmed down. When I looked up, I saw that the whole city was filled with a dark green fog, which looked as if it was soaked in some kind of liquid, which was disgusting. In this way, it is impossible to go back to the city, and ............ Those undead are also troublesome.

"I've got a way to ........."

Thinking of this, the leader of the squad gritted his teeth, and then he turned his head to look outside. I saw that under the cover of night, I could vaguely see the light of a fire on the snowfield, which was where the "mob" were stationed.

"We also have a rope here that we can use to get out of the walls and go to the mob's garrison and ask for their help! Let's hope they won't be as unlucky as our side! ”

"Captain?!"

Hearing this, several other soldiers were taken aback, they didn't expect that their captain would actually think of using the power of those mobs!

"............ you do this"

"Less nonsense, maybe this shit was our goddamn Fat Pig Lord, and now we have no choice! Do you want to die at the hands of the dead, or at the hands of the living?! ”

As he spoke, the patrol leader looked again at the light of the fire on the snowfield outside, and then he bit his lip.

"It's the only option we have!" (To be continued......)
