After talking about this matter, Roland cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Next is the news of the devil and the ruins. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

He informed Tilly of what the border town had recently found behind the snowy mountains and in the Hidden Forest, "I was planning to send witches and First Army soldiers to bring the trapped people in the ruins back to the town, but this heavy snowfall more than a month in advance disrupted the plans. ”

"The legendary army of devils is so close that there are still people living in the ruins of more than 400 years ago......" Tilly was stunned, "I'm starting to believe what you told me......"

Anna turned her head to look at Roland, who coughed twice, "Judging from the scene observed at the scene and the reaction of the other party, the devil should have been entrenched in the snowy mountain for many years. My guess is that they are limited by the red mist's area of effect and cannot continue to expand into the kingdom's mainland, so they will not pose a threat to border towns for the time being. In the next two years, I will set up coastal guard points to monitor their movements. He paused, "It's the one who is sealed in the ruins, and she probably holds the truth about the debacle of the Holy City of Taqira and the Church." ”

"I think so," Tilly thought as she closed her eyes, "Is there a way to go straight through the air without going overland?" ”

"You want to take her out of the ruins on the day of the Evil Moon?" Roland frowned, "The Distant Lookout balloon could carry ten people, or make it bigger and expand the number to fifteen, but it can't take the First Army soldiers with it anyway." If you encounter a devil, the witch may suffer casualties, plus the ubiquitous evil beasts...... It's too dangerous. ”

"It's dangerous to rely on Mutual Aid alone," Tilly nodded, "but now that Savory and Ash are in danger, it's much less dangerous. As you mentioned earlier, the Devil's main attack methods are spear throwing from a distance, as well as hand-to-hand combat with much more strength than ordinary people. At this point, Savi's invisible barrier can block several spear throws, and Ash can overwhelm enemies in close combat. Now that the Demon Moon has just arrived, the power of the evil beast is not very strong, and now is the best time to go to the ruins. ”

Roland felt a little hesitant, the last time he fought with the devil, he suffered a disadvantageous loss in air combat, and when he thought that he was going to fly over again this time, he felt unstable in his heart. However, Tilly's words also make sense, Sylvie's magic eye can ensure that the enemy can be spotted, as long as the hot air balloon remains at an altitude of ten to fifteen meters, that is, flying close to the treetops, it is completely safe to land before the enemy approaches. Next, with the powerful attack ability of Nightingale and Ash, the devil team of about ten people is completely devastated. Even if something slips through the net, Savie and Anna's double shield keeps the team safe.

He pondered for a moment, "Are you really sure you want to go?"

"I think this may be an opportunity to solve the mystery," Tilly admits, "and this year's Evil Moon is early, and the appearance of evil beasts in the South China Sea always gives me a bad feeling." ”

Roland's heart was slightly cold, this feeling also existed, the evil moon was unlikely to be an abnormal celestial phenomenon caused by climate change, he vaguely felt that these were inseparable from the devil and the church.

"What about the team?"

"I don't know much about the witches of Borderland, but I'll go there myself," Tilly said without hesitation.

......

Snowflakes fluttered in the grey sky, and Mayne and Teflon slowly climbed the walls of Hermes, which had just been battled.

Black and warm blood flowed from his feet, melting the white snow into a viscous amount of blood, but fortunately it was all flowing from the enemy, and hundreds of Divine Punishment Army were standing straight at the head of the city, waiting for the next wave of attacks from the evil beasts.

"Lord Bishop!" the warriors of the Inquisition Army who had assisted the Divine Punishment Army in the battle saluted with their fists, most of them looking a little immature, their eyes mixed with fear and excitement.

"They're still children," Teflon sighed, looking out over the moor, as he walked into a clearing, "and when I was my age, I was grinding flour for the nobles in the mill. ”

"The Divine Punishment Army must prioritize the defense of the New Holy City, and I can only hand over the remnants of the Wolf's Heart City that are still stubbornly resisting to the experienced Inquisitors, and these people are all newly promoted believers, and they have not really been on the battlefield before this," Mayne said helplessly, "This snow has come too soon. ”

Teflon hesitated, "There is no such thing in the Holy Book. ”

"The Holy Book was also written by the Pope, and omissions are inevitable," the bishop propped himself up on the cold battlements, overlooking the cliff full of corpses below, ordinary evil beasts can't climb such a high wall, and all that can threaten the Holy City are mixed alien beasts, "as long as the general direction it points out is correct." From the brute beasts that appeared last year, it can be inferred that we still have about ten years left. ”

"It will take two years to unify the four kingdoms, and another eight years to build up the Divine Punishment Army, and by that time, the church will have a huge army of more than 10,000 people. He continued, "Taking advantage of the fortified walls and terrain of Hermes, we will hold on to this plateau until we have a reversal of the enemy's strength." ”

"I'm getting old, I'm afraid I won't see that time anymore. ”

"It has nothing to do with age, Master Teflon," Mayne reassured, "too many people can't see that moment, like Allen, Stone, Richie, ......"

"And Heather," Teflon added.

"Yes, and Heather. He nodded, "But no matter what, there will be successors who will inherit our mission and continue to walk." ”

"Don't say such frustrating words," the old man shook his head and smiled, "By the way, how effective is the snow powder formula that Jieluo obtained?"

"Dealing with mortal things won't help the Church," Mayne said disdainfully, "Snow powder may be used to clean up hordes of evil beasts, but our real enemy is the Abyss Devil." Its lethality in the open area has dropped dramatically, and if it is strong enough to smash heavily armored demons, it must be so large that no one but the Divine Punishment Army can throw half a body-sized snow powder bag. ”

"Really...... It's a shame. ”

"There is no chance of any opportunistic victory over the devil," Mayne said word for word, "and we will only survive if we defeat them head-on." ”

At that moment, a long horn sounded from the watchtower on the side of the city wall.

Woo—————————

A long roar represents the arrival of an evil beast.

"Go back to the cathedral, there's going on again here. ”

"Hmm," Teflon nodded, and just as he turned around, the horn sounded again.

Woo——————— woo———————

Two long roars meant that there were a large number of mixed evil beasts in the evil beast group, and Mayne's heart trembled, there was no doubt that the next battle for the Divine Punishment Army would be a bitter battle.

But...... Why is it so fast? This is the first month of the Evil Moon.

However, the reverberation of the horn was not over, and a third horn sounded again, and the dull and continuous sound was like a thunderclap, rolling over Hermes for a long time.

Woo—————————————— woo————————————— woo———————————————————

Mayne could barely believe his ears, he looked at Teflon, and the other party also looked at him with a shocked expression, the three horns indicated that the situation was extremely urgent, and the new holy city was in danger!

What did the lookouts see?

Mayne quickly saw the answer.

In the midst of the black tide, there were two monsters of great size, with four thick fangs, four legs and two hands, covered in pitch-black fur, and a single foot was the thickness of a wolf-shaped hybrid torso. If the evil beasts that follow around you don't dodge in time, they will also be stepped into the ground by it, turning into a puddle of flesh and mud.

It is recorded in various holy books, the dead, the hell and the fangs of the devil...... But it wasn't its terrifying appearance that terrified Mayne, it was what it meant.

Why? His mind was completely occupied by a frightened thought, why did the horrible monster that had been prophesied in the Holy Book only appear five years before the catastrophe struck, now appeared in Hermes? )
