During the short break, Anno and Liz ate some dry food.

Philomena said she was a god and didn't need to eat.

Annuo guessed that given the physique of the other gods, they had other ways to replenish their body energy.

Afterwards, Annuo called on Philomena, who looked reluctant, to finish drawing the magic pattern on the last small area.

When the last magic pattern was completed, Philomena checked the whole thing again.

After confirming that everything was correct, Annuo began to do the final work.

The entire formation is a circle with a diameter of 20 meters, which just encloses the church.

The core is a circle with a diameter of one meter, engraved with the most complex magic patterns in the entire formation.

At that time, Annuo will send his soul into this part of the magic pattern.

On a circle nine meters outward from the core, in the four directions of east, west, south and north, there are magic activation points inlaid with four types of materials.

Further out, there are relatively simpler magic patterns.

Insert five each of Blood Rock, Fire Crystal, Ice Milk, and Wind Crystal into the groove of the magic activation point.

Then he took out the collected monster blood and slowly poured it into the patterns of the magic pattern.

After the blood dripped in, it began to spread around along the magic pattern.

After more than ten minutes, all the magic patterns were filled with blood.

Anno immediately sacrificed one hundred second-level yellow souls towards the core area.

The magic patterns in the core area were like the mouth of an abyss, swallowing up all souls.

Then, a yellow spherical soul the size of a basketball emerged from the core magic pattern.

The next moment, the blood in the magic pattern seemed to boil.

Bubbling constantly.

The air was filled with the smell of blood.

Before long, all the blood was absorbed by the magic pattern.

Looking down from above, you can see a blood-red circular magic array with a diameter of twenty meters.

At the same time, a yellow hemispherical barrier enveloped the entire church.

"Done?"

Anno stood inside the church, looking at the surrounding barriers with some curiosity.

"Yes, it worked!"

Philomena shrugged and pointed at the spherical soul in the center of the formation and said, "This guy is the core of the formation. Now it is under your control. To open or close it, just tell it to open!"

Anno looked at the yellow sphere floating in the air in the center and found that he had indeed established a connection with it.

"Close the Divine Protection Formation!"

As Annuo gave the order, the yellow ball turned several times.

The surrounding barrier flickered three times and then disappeared.

The magic patterns on the ground remained unchanged except for being covered with a layer of creepy red.

“After the magic patterns of the God Control Array are drawn, if you want to upgrade the grade, just replace the magic beast blood, four types of materials and soul.

The formation will cause certain damage to the formation core when resisting attacks.

If it fades in color, it has reached its limit.

Just feed some souls and replenish the energy.

There are also four series of materials that need to be checked every once in a while.

If there is any damage, it should be replaced in time.”

After giving the instructions, Philomena went straight back to the divine space.

An Nuo did not stop him.

"We've spent two days here, it's time to go back."

After having the successful experience, next time Annuo can command many summoned creatures to engrave magic patterns.

It can greatly reduce the time.

Just as Annuo was about to recall the summoned creatures that were scattered around on guard, he suddenly saw a group of people holding torches walking towards him from not far away.

"There are still mercenaries at this time?"

Annuo frowned and used the vision of the summoned creature to see that this group of people were professionals wearing various equipment.

It's almost nine o'clock in the evening now.

The Orsan Valley is more dangerous at night than during the day.

Many ferocious monsters hunt at night.

Mercenaries usually leave the valley in the evening.

"Hey, these guys again?"

When An Nuo saw the mercenary group logo on the chests of these mercenaries, he found that they were members of the Bloodstain Mercenary Group!

When the Bloodstain Mercenary Group first moved to Gray City, dozens of their elite members were killed by Annuo at this very location - the time they met Dean.

Even though their leader Maurice returned later, the entire mercenary group was still on the decline.

Morris was also very annoyed when he saw the bloodstain.

He had argued with Linda in the royal capital, and the latter said that Bloodstain would be expelled.

Who would have thought that although Bloodstain was not removed from the list, it was almost the same.

Fortunately, for some reason, Earl Wei was very interested in him who moved here from Valkham.

He was summoned to the Earl's castle many times to inquire about Valkham's affairs and recruited him as a lackey.

There are so many benefits to having the support of Earl Wei in Gray City.

Morris didn't dare to say that he was walking sideways, but at least the bloodstains were developing rapidly.

Not only is the scale of the mercenary group larger than before, the strength of its members has also been raised to a higher level.

There are more than a dozen second-level mercenaries.

There are many members whose ranks are higher than his, but they still have to obey Morris's orders.

After all, they all joined Bloodstain because Morris was "respected" by Earl Wei.

Thanks to Earl Wei's relationship, the soldiers would not blackmail anyone with Bloodstain.

“No matter how strong you are, you must bow down to power.”

When Morris saw a group of high-level mercenaries obeying his orders, he swore in his heart.

During my lifetime, I will do everything I can to become a noble aristocrat!

The whole regiment came to the Orsans Valley this time because we received an order from Earl Wei at noon today.

Morris knew very well that everything he had was something that Earl Web could take back with just one word.

So he worked particularly hard on this mission.

Hundreds of people followed the trail left by the missing soldiers, constantly asking residents of the villages they passed by for information, and finally tracked them to the vicinity of the Orsance Valley.

When we arrived here, it was completely dark.

But in order to complete Earl Web's mission, Morris decided to search overtime.

He led the mercenaries of the regiment who were above the first rank and ventured to the outskirts of the Orsense Valley.

We searched for two hours and luckily encountered no danger.

But Morris looked up inadvertently and suddenly found a big yellow cover appeared not far away!

This unusual situation immediately attracted Morris's attention.

As Annuo closed the divine protection formation and the barrier disappeared, Morris brought his men over to check the situation.

As Morris approached the church, he saw in the faint moonlight a box emitting golden light in the center of the church.

The box is full of golden coins.

There are thousands of them in some cases!

But next to the box, there was a cloaked figure.

When the figure discovered the person behind him, he seemed to be frightened and emitted magical fluctuations.

"Level 11?"

Morris looked at the box greedily and rushed forward to snatch it.

But the next moment, a yellow barrier rose around the church, blocking Morris and his men out.

"The light just now was this protective shield!"

Morris looked at the barrier in front of him in surprise.

"I don't care what kind of protective shield you have. If you dare to steal my treasure chest, I will smash you to pieces! Everyone, smash them!"

Under Morris's command, more than 200 people attacked the cover together.

Various skills and magic spells bombarded the Divine Protection Formation, illuminating the nearby area!

But there were ripples on the surface of the barrier, and there was no damage.

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

The person hiding not far away and observing Bloodstain in secret bombarded the barrier again and again, and Annuo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Don’t think that Annuo is at level three now.

Facing the attacks of more than 200 people at the same time, if you don't dodge or use defensive skills.

He must die too.

After quietly watching a group of people bombarding for ten minutes, Annuo did not notice that the color of the spherical soul that was the core of the formation had faded.

"It seems that only a third-level attack can cause damage to the Divine Protection Formation!"

An Nuo was very satisfied with the defensive power of the Divine Protection Formation.

According to this situation, as long as we can find god-level materials, resisting the attacks of gods is not an empty talk.

After the test was completed, Anno launched an attack from the rear.

The ones who remained in the church were Liz who activated [Disguise] and the gold coins that Anno had deliberately taken out to attract Maurice.

He himself was hiding not far from the church.

Taking advantage of the night.

An Nuo summoned his creature and came silently behind the bloodstain.

Compared with Annuo's summons, Xuehen's strength has improved a lot, but it is still not good enough.

Even if some mercenaries discovered the existence of the summoned creature, they would not be able to escape.

In half an hour, all the mercenaries-turned-zombies around the church were burned to death.

During this long time, twenty minutes were spent interrogating Morris about what happened in Gray City over the past two days.

From him, Anno learned that Earl Wei was very concerned about Valkham's affairs.

In the past two days, Gray City has not only begun to recruit a large number of professionals as soldiers, but also sent many professionals to Valkham to gather information.

These are the information that Morris found out privately.

In order to save his life, he told Annuo everything.

"It seems that Earl Wei has thought of Valkham. Was the thief caught?

Recruit soldiers and send out spies!

It is necessary to talk to Viscount Renault about this matter."
