Chapter 458 The Function of the Stigmata

As night fell, gray fog filled the air and flames shot up into the sky outside the city of Tristram.

A large number of deformed humanoid creatures with flames burning all over their bodies and green-skinned evil orcs with red runes engraved on their chests formed a joint force and stopped in front of the city. War was about to break out.

The city's protective magic circle has been activated, and the half of the light shield facing the enemy is painted with a strange blood-red color.

Hamidi pointed forward and said worriedly:

“Archbishop, our airship reconnaissance in the past few days has discovered that a huge building has risen on the ruins of the city of Bligh.

The enemies transported animal carcasses to the building, and then green-skinned orcs came out in an endless stream.

We are certain that there is a magic array similar to the evil spell of flesh alchemy in the building, which can continuously produce orcs. "

Spells such as Flesh Alchemy can utilize the flesh, blood and spirituality of living things to continuously create bloodthirsty war machines. Unless the enemy's magic circle for producing war machines can be destroyed, even if the most powerful leader of the enemy does not participate in the battle, all the manpower of the city of Tristram will inevitably be consumed.

He paused and continued:

“This is a war that is doomed to fail. People in the city are in a panic. Some well-informed people have already learned about the great changes in the Holy See.

Families that have the means are already busy transporting supplies and people out of the city.

As the war progresses, the news blockade cannot last too long, and the church must also prepare to evacuate. "

Vasek stared straight ahead, remaining silent. He certainly understood the current situation facing the city, but time was too tight and there was no time to transfer the city's population and supplies. He could only grit his teeth and hold on for a few more days.

There is also a powerful evil leader eyeing the city of Bligh, and no one knows whether the target will attack the city himself. He is gambling with his life.

He exhaled lightly and asked with a heavy heart, "Including the airships we borrowed from other cities, how many airships can be used for transportation?"

Wild plants grow luxuriantly and rapidly. If the roads are not maintained by dedicated personnel, they will be occupied by weeds in a few days.

In the past, Tristram and Bly were connected by railroads. Propellers were installed on steam locomotives to cut plants near the railroad tracks. Bulk cargo transportation relied entirely on railroads, and Tristram was not equipped with many airships.

It would take a long time to relocate a city of 200,000 people.

Vasek decided to delay time as much as possible and would only leave the city when he had no choice.

"Leave one airship in the parking lot as a backup, and another one needs to keep an eye on the monster leader in Bligh City to prevent him from suddenly attacking us.

Excluding these two, we only have eight airships available, but they are all medium-sized and small airships, and their carrying capacity is too weak.

Putting aside the transportation of supplies, it would take at least several months to transport so many people.”

Hamidi was worried that it would take too long to relocate the population using these airships, and the probability of accidents occurring during this period would increase greatly.

If the retreat is not timely, too many high-level extraordinary people may have to die here. He is willing to devote his life to the church, but he is not willing to die, because such a death would be meaningless and without honor.

Vasek then asked, “How many brother parishes are willing to accept us?”

“Most parishes are only willing to accept our crusaders and priests, as well as a small number of ordinary people.

You know, the food problem has begun to attract everyone's attention. The population is too large and other areas can't bear it. "

Hamidy paused and continued:

"It is His Excellency Crown, the Duke of the North, who is willing to accept all of us. However, Rhine City is located in the northwest of the kingdom and the journey is long. It will take even longer to move so many people there."

Time is what they lack most right now, and the most important thing is that there are too few airships.

Vasek was silent for a while, then said, "What do you think of Lord Crown? If we move the whole city there, how will we solve the food and housing problems? What arrangements will we make? Has he told us?"

“His Excellency the Duke is a very kind person. He briefly talked about his plan, saying that he wanted to build a super city. I wonder if he was just talking.

However, I saw that there was a large-scale burning of wasteland around Moya Castle, so there should be some truth to it.

In addition, I have seen the new magic circle of Moya Castle, which can indeed dispel the gray fog and has the benefit of nourishing spirituality. I think his words are credible to a certain extent.

He didn't mention anything about our arrangements after the move, probably because he thought he could keep us under control.

A sixth-level transcendent would have this confidence."

Vasek nodded slightly and said:

"There are too few airships, so we have to think of other ways to relocate the population. I decided to send out an elite force to escort ordinary people to the nearest city as much as possible to avoid the immediate crisis.

Then, we will find a way to evacuate the population to different parishes. How many people do you think are willing to go to Rhine City?"

Hamiti couldn't bear it. He wondered how many ordinary people would die on the journey if they were to travel to other places by land.

He exhaled, suppressed his pity, and replied:

“I think there should be many people who would like to live in an area where level six transcendents live, as it will give people a greater sense of security psychologically.

Personally, I would like to go to Hammers, what about you, Archbishop?"

"As for me," Vasek shook his head slightly and continued, "I once had the opportunity to return to the Vatican, but I didn't.

Although the Vatican is the center of power, there are many people who can restrain me. I would rather have fewer shackles on my body.

So, I chose to go to Darrowshire."

Hamiti was silent, which meant that after leaving Tristram, everyone would go their separate ways.

Outside the city, the evil orcs beat the mighty war drums, and murderous intent surged in.

Vasek arranged his armor and weapons and shouted, "Fight, and drive back these angry corpses and twisted orcs first!"

Endless Sea, the city of R'lyeh.

Gray fog gathered into a vortex above the huge city. Outside the city, huge waves and heavy rain poured down, while inside the city, there was a drizzle.

Hydra stood on the high platform, and the nine huge heads roared in unison, shouting:

"My fellow followers of the great gods, I have received permission from the gods to lead the elite of the Hydra and Deep Ones to the continent to avenge my beloved Dagon.

The dignity of the gods cannot be offended. That despicable human named Clown must pay the price with blood! Not only him, but also his relatives and the city where he lives will be buried with him for his stupid behavior!"

Under the platform, the roars gathered into a tsunami-like sound, and the faces of these evil gods' followers were filled with bloodthirsty and cruel madness.

A hint of viciousness flashed in the eyes of Hydra's middle head. It did not mention the enemy's strength. It wanted to take advantage of this mission to use the enemy to eliminate several followers who threatened its position.

This operation brought together eleven sixth-tier extraordinary clans and hundreds of elite fifth-tier Hydra clans. The absence of two competitors would not affect the completion of the mission.

At that time, the competitor will be eliminated and revenge will be taken, killing two birds with one stone.

Hydra led his troops away from R'lyeh, and the sea water behind him stirred up white lines.

Led by it, a large number of high-level evil gods' followers advanced towards the estuary of the Kingdom of Sintland.

The huge storms moved forward, and the sky and the earth became desolate.

Farouk Kingdom, Porto Suva City, combat headquarters.

Luther Saxon looked at his father's gray hair and sighed deeply.

He understood how much pressure his father was under and that the family's honor and disgrace depended on him, but when he looked around, he saw few people who could help him.

My father has not yet broken through to the fifth level. According to the original plan, the next fifth-level spot in the family would be my father, but now it’s all gone.

If he fails to become a fifth-order transcendent, he will not have the strength to subdue the people in other dioceses, and he will not be able to integrate the power of the kingdom.

In recent days, the number of Cthulhu minions attacking the city of Porto-Suva has increased significantly. Without a stable rear to continuously provide supplies and troops, the defense of the city will become increasingly difficult.

But this place must not be abandoned. If the city is lost, the first to suffer will be the heartland of the Saxon family.

It can be said that if the city of Porto-Souviná is lost, the Saxon family will never have a chance to turn things around.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The air in the room seemed to become heavy, and the breathing of the two people gradually became louder.

Sean opened his half-closed eyes, pressed his temples tiredly, and asked, "How long will it take to complete the construction of the magic circle?"

He was referring to the magic circle for communicating with the gods. If they could get in touch with the gods again, there would still be hope for the family.

Otherwise, the former golden family will inevitably lose all its glory.

"The construction of the magic circle is quite difficult. According to the information passed on, I estimate that it will take at least more than a month."

Luther spoke calmly, but he was actually struggling in his heart.

The gods ordered the family to build the Flame Heart formation, and something went wrong right after that. It's hard not to make associations.

Besides, even if we could contact the gods, would our ancestors have mercy on their descendants who were separated by who knows how many generations? To be more practical, the power of the gods could not pass through the vast space and descend into the material world, so everything would be in vain.

After coughing lightly and clearing his throat, Luther continued:

"Father, have you ever thought about what we would do if the city was lost?

The Holy See no longer exists and there is no follow-up support. It is extremely difficult to hold on with only the remaining resources and population reserves of our family.

I understand your concerns, but I must say that you need to carefully consider the survival of your family after the city falls."

If the city did not have two Moon Soul Spiritual Light Arrays, it would have been breached long ago because the city’s reserve energy was severely insufficient.

Now the attacks of the Murlocs and Deep Ones are getting more fierce day by day, and the future is dark.

"Of course I have thought about it," Sean said sadly with confusion in his eyes, "I have ordered a branch of the family to move to Hammers City. If there is a safest place in the Kingdom of Faruk, it must be the city where Clown is.

This branch of the family did not inherit the Saxon surname. It was once a branch of the family's direct lineage. The purpose of hiding its identity was to preserve the family's flame in a desperate moment. "

He knew very well the plight of Portosuva City. Whether it was the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array or the Protective Magic Array, they were under fierce attack for a long time and their energy reserves were bound to not be able to keep up with the consumption.

Now, enemies of the fourth level are beginning to appear densely in the attacking forces of the evil god's minions, but the defending forces have suffered a lot of casualties.

After the intelligence about the city of Bray was confirmed by other dioceses, some cardinals began to recall the troops stationed there. Although he tried his best to stop it, the loss of personnel was inevitable.

The extraordinary levels of these cardinals are comparable to his, and his say is completely inferior to Arthur's.

Sean was silent for a while, then said:

"Child, if the defense here is unsustainable, you must immediately return to the ancestral land of your family and lead as many people as possible to leave."

"Then why don't we plan for the family to leave now? It's hard to leave our homeland, but the situation is critical now. Only by keeping more people can the Saxon family have a future."

“If the royal family takes the lead in retreating, the Saxon family will not have any face left in the kingdom.

Putting aside the big families, will ordinary believers still trust the Golden Family?"

Klauen's eyes flickered, a golden-purple glow flashed, and a golden wall appeared in the depths of his eyes.

[Holy Light Field (Tai Chi): 60246/2000000; Level 1]

[Golden Light Mantra: 71582/1000000; Level 6]

[Magic Array: 4516/200000; Level 5]

He is now able to skillfully construct magic arrays below level five, but due to the limitations of array materials, his progress in magic array studies has become very slow.

High-level magic arrays consume a lot of resources, some of which are very precious. Even if he emptied the Dukedom's treasury, he would not have so many resources to squander. Fortunately, magic arrays of this level can be used to slowly transform the Moon Soul Aura Array.

Clown breathed a sigh of relief. The Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array was great in many ways, but its only shortcoming was that it had little defense against attacks from the energy of natural laws.

As long as the light shield can be activated like a protective magic circle, the city will have a defense system when facing attacks from non-dark laws.

Frankly speaking, his efforts over the past few days were not to guard against the evil god, but to guard against gods such as the Sun God and the Moon God.

Once he draws out the blueprint for the transformation of the magic circle, the city will enter a period of rapid expansion. He can then devote more energy to improving his own strength, and hunting the evil god can be put on the agenda.

He had already thought about it. After finishing the most important task at hand, he would be able to choose to summon the silver dragon next month. By then, with the two dragons possessing the power of the sun and the moon, he would be more confident in fighting the enemy.

In addition, he has already discovered some of the functions of the stigmata.

Yesterday, he accidentally discovered that he could inject his own power into the stigmata, which was equivalent to having an extra 'law power reserve'.

In the future, when he needs it, he can absorb the power inside and gain many times the endurance.

Not only that, he can also choose to burst out his reserved power all at once to form a 'big move'.

This is his favorite rhythm. When he meets someone, he uses his ultimate skill to deal damage in the face and then just rushes in.

He possesses two stigmata, one more "ultimate move" than other gods. If he sees the target, he will directly use both ultimate moves. It would be best if he can take him down in one wave. If not, he will slowly consume the enemy's energy. If that doesn't work, he will just run away.

If you can't win, just run away. It's not shameful.

However, Clown was confident in his attack, knowing that he had learned two completely different laws of power.

First use the power of the sun to heat up the enemy, then use the power of the moon to cool it down. Under the huge temperature difference, the enemy under the attack will definitely feel double the pain.

He needs to study the specific execution carefully, and then form a combo, which will definitely give the enemy a big surprise.
