"We just have to wait here?"
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has led his army into Jerusalem. I heard that the imperial garrison in the inner city has surrendered to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"In that case, why don't we also go into the city and guard His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
The man who spoke was the giant Goliath.
They received the order shortly after they followed the Holy Egyptian League army to clear the entire outer city of Jerusalem.
That was to have them leave Jerusalem and wait outside the city for orders.
"Yes, with our giants protecting His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh, His Majesty will definitely be safer!"
"We are much more powerful than his guards!"
The giants who were speaking were now surrounding a huge crossbow.
Completely different from the Hebrews' magic longbow, this crossbow was transported all the way from the fortress city to Jerusalem by giants.
God-killing longbow.
"This is a personal order from His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh. How can we guess His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh's plan?"
"Just stay outside the city and protect this longbow."
The person who spoke was La Masia, who was dispatching the Holy Egyptian Alliance army outside the city.
Most of those who are still in the city are the elite of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
They were guarding the gates of Jerusalem, as if they were afraid of letting something escape.
"Of course, Lord Malacia."
"Since it is a personal order from our benefactor, we naturally have no objection."
"Alright, everyone, our mission now is to defend the God-devouring Longbow to the death!"
The giant Goliath raised one arm, and the other giants followed him and roared "Woo-woo-wah".
Apparently, the Goliath was making fun of the Amazon leader.
Marasia just raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and then she kicked the Goliath giant hard on the heel.
"roar!"
A giant gasped, and actually lost his balance slightly, taking half a step forward before stopping.
Upon seeing this, the giant Goliath respectfully saluted Marasia, who then turned around, raised her hair, and strode away.
“Huff huff—”
On the other side, in the inner city of Jerusalem.
Many lion snake dogs were wandering around the city like ants.
The rustling sound of their scales rubbing against each other was particularly clear among the ruins.
Several smaller individuals slipped into the ruined corridors of the palace, their forked tongues vibrating rapidly, capturing all the remaining scent molecules in the air.
One of them suddenly used its front paws to dig up the stacked wood, lowered its head, and stared at the almost invisible footprints on the floor with its vertical pupils.
The other one was coiled around a broken stone pillar, its scales scraping against the stone surface at a special frequency, as if it was recording some information.
The leading lion snake dog crouched on the ruins of a fountain in the central square, and its three heads took turns emitting low, guttural sounds of "Oh".
The returning scouts approached one by one, either tapping its scales with the tips of their tails or dripping the collected liquid from between their fangs.
This information is quickly transmitted between groups through scale vibrations, scent markings and sound waves.
“Huff—”
At this moment, a lion snake dog dug open a half-closed wooden door on the ground.
It was more like a cellar.
But after it tore it apart with its claws in a few strokes, it immediately smelled the scent below.
“Hoohoo!”
The lion snake dog seemed to sense something. It raised its head and called over several of its companions.
They lowered their heads and sniffed a few times, then rushed into the tunnel, panting heavily.
They slid silently down the stone steps, their forked tongues catching the lingering scents in the air.
The leading lion snake dog suddenly stopped, and all three heads turned towards the depths of darkness at the same time.
That's where the flavor comes from.
Not only that, in the darkness, there were also sounds of hurried footsteps gradually increasing in volume, as well as bursts of panting.
Several magicians from the Order of the Rose were crawling out from underground, their robes stained with dirt and blood.
The old man in the front held a staff in his hand, and the swaying flames reflected his pale face.
“Go, go!”
"I don't know where the Pope has gone. Why hasn't anyone come back to replenish the magician's magic power?"
"If this continues, the ritual will backfire on them!"
"Quick, go out and take a look!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness.
"Ah! What is that?"
"Yes! It's the Lion Snake Dog!"
"The lion-snake dog of the witch demon coven!"
"The Holy Egyptian Alliance has reached the inner city!"
"Raise the staff, quickly, we...ah——"
Lion snake dogs came from all directions, their movements as fast as ghosts.
A young wizard screamed and swung his staff, flames gushed out, but the firelight only illuminated the bloody mouth that pounced on him.
The dog's head bit his wrist, the snake's tail wrapped around his throat, and the lion's claws tore his robes.
"No--!"
“Stop, stop!”
His cries and screams stopped in just a few seconds, and were then replaced by the sound of bones breaking.
The remaining magicians stood back to back, madly releasing fireballs and red magic.
But there were too many lion snake dogs, they were like an endless tide, when one fell, two more would immediately take its place.
Also, they are not that easy to kill.
"They... they can never be killed!"
"We can't get out! My Lord! My Lord!"
A female mage collapsed to her knees, tears mixed with blood streaming down her face.
The lion snake dogs approached slowly, sucking their tongues as if they were thinking about how to torture the prey in front of them.
But just as it was about to pounce, there was suddenly a loud noise.
"boom!"
A muffled sound came from deep underground, and the entire tunnel shook.
The lion snake dogs' movements suddenly stopped, and their heads all turned towards the depths of darkness.
There was a strange, eerie smell in the air.
A lion snake dog hesitated for a moment and slowly retreated.
Finally, it raised its head, signaling its companions to continue chasing the magician, while it itself slid silently into the ground.
“Snap!”
It landed gently, but the lion snake dog immediately raised its tail alertly.
Because there are corpses everywhere.
The body of the lion snake dog.
And there is more than one.
Some were cut in half, some had their internal organs removed, and some seemed to have been sucked dry of blood and flesh by something, leaving only a layer of skin.
Seeing this, the scales of the lion snake dog exploded and its pupils contracted violently.
The next second, it turned around without hesitation and ran back at the fastest speed.
"boom!"
The tunnels shook again, and some of them even collapsed with a loud bang.
It kept running until the tunnel collapsed without even looking back.
“Huff huff—”
