Chapter 666 Evacuation
"Lord Frey!"
He heard shouts from behind. Frey turned and saw the Untouchables standing on a giant machine, waving at him. "We've beaten these Earthlings back! Shall we continue the pursuit?"
"What are you chasing?! Get back underground! Their reinforcements will be here soon!"
Frey roared and walked towards the group of crazy people, not caring about his fear for the moment.
Without him watching over these people, they would definitely kill themselves!
"Lord Gaia, I won't go back to Castel for now!" Frey jumped onto a huge machine that stretched out its hand to him. It was the big guy controlled by Xiaobu, who had already come here.
The Untouchables heard Frey's cry and reluctantly stopped their attack. Although they became crazy when operating the machines, they were still willing to listen to Frey.
As for the reason.
"Lord Frey, you know a lot about the things on earth, and we all obey you!"
"Yes, Brother Frey, what do you think we should do next?"
Frey's eyes warmed up. Although he chose to stay not because of any ambition, he was at least happy in his heart to be recognized by people.
"Let's charge one more time, and then retreat underground together!"
This is Upper Rhine, the core location of the Holy See. The mortal army of the Candlelight Society will be here soon, and then we will be in trouble.
Although the mortal army is not as powerful as the extraordinary ones, the base number is there, not to mention the assistance of the [Investigators]. They will definitely suffer losses if they engage in a head-on battle.
The Untouchables responded in unison, driving their massive machines towards the Investigators. Several severely damaged machines chose to self-destruct, while the rest retreated under the cover of the explosion towards the hole they had come from.
Just as Xiaobu and Frey were about to jump into the underground, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Wait a moment, this is for you!"
Frey turned around and saw a black object flying towards him. It was thick and heavy, with horns embedded on the edges.
Frey quickly lowered his head, and when it landed beside him, he realized it was a book.
"Take it with you! This is the holy book of the empire's truth. The empire is no longer the same empire, but the truth is still the truth!" Gaia said while waving her hand.
Imperial Truth? Holy Scripture? Frey nodded in confusion, but he still felt something was amiss. It wasn't until the big man led him into the pit that he finally reacted. He opened his eyes wide and shouted at Gaia in the hole above:
“But I can’t read!!”
Unfortunately, he had fallen into the pit along with the machine.
The large machine continued to move downward, and Frey's voice gradually disappeared underground.
Gaia and Zoe exchanged a glance and said, "Let's retreat too!"
The [Investigators] on the side were scattered and in a very miserable state, but they were extraordinary people after all, and had special defense methods. At this moment, they were just confused by the waves of attacks and explosions. As long as they reacted, they could kill the two of them with their numbers.
The two of them didn't hesitate and turned and left.
But when they reached the gap in the pipe, they heard a weak cry: "Wait, take me with you."
The two looked back and raised their eyebrows when they saw the person who spoke.
"Beatrice?"
It was Beatrice. Where was her previous arrogance now? The influx of the Sea of Unconsciousness had long ceased. The seawater that poured into her body was no longer a panacea to help her recover from her injuries. Instead, it rushed around in her body, leaving her body in tatters.
When she raised her head, both of them were shocked. She only had one eye left, and black blood was flowing from the other eye socket. There was almost no good flesh on her face, and it looked like it was about to be eroded.
But her one eye was gleaming with a terrifying light, and even from such a distance, both of them could sense her determination.
It was this willpower that prevented her from being completely eroded, allowing her to barely hold on and struggle to this day.
Zoe and Gaia looked at each other.
"Ahem, Your Holiness, I..." Zoe took a step forward and was about to say something when she saw Beatrice raise her hand and throw something at her.
The two men leaned sideways and didn't catch it, letting the object fall to the ground and bounce a few times.
It was a tightly packed package, stained with some of Beatrice's black blood.
"The technical information you requested."
Beatrice's voice was hoarse like a leaky bellows, but she still forced herself to raise her head.
"Besides what the temple promised, there are quite a few more. Ahem. I think all the useful ones are here."
Saying this seemed to have used up all her strength, and she had to stand there gasping for breath.
Zoe's words were stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow them or speak them out. She could only look at Gaia for help.
"What should we do? It might be difficult for the two of us to run away with her."
Gaia picked up the package on the ground, which was still a little warm.
She gritted her teeth and was about to say something when she saw Beatrice raise her hand.
“Don’t worry.”
Beatrice forced herself to raise her head and look upwards.
The two followed her gaze and saw that the mechanical structure on the top of the church suddenly trembled as if it had received a command.
The gears rotated, the support poles were pushed up, and a crack suddenly appeared in the heavy church dome.
The warm sunlight shone down, but it only lasted for a moment before being blocked by a huge existence.
"Airship!? When did it arrive?"
Zoe and Gaia were both surprised, because they didn't call the airship over.
Then their eyes fell on Beatrice, who was now slumped on the ground, looking at the airship above and grinning miserably.
It could only be her.
Did His Holiness the Pope prepare a way out for himself from the beginning?
Beatrice sat on the ground, her face covered in blood, and the injuries on her body made her unable to speak.
She looked at the sky, and a tear slipped out of her remaining eye.
At that moment just now, the sunlight also fell on her face. How long had it been since she stood in the sunlight?
The airship in the sky gradually became blurred, and she stretched out her hand with some longing.
Whether it was Castel, freedom, or Count Hughes, they were all things that were out of her reach, so close that she could touch them with her hand, but she could never catch them.
She knew that she was about to die.
A rope was dropped from the airship, and Erwin grabbed the hatch with one hand and shouted down for them to come up quickly.
Gaia looked at the package in her hand, then looked at Beatrice who was collapsed on the ground, and bit her lip.
The [investigators] had gradually come to their senses and surrounded them. They had no time to hesitate.
"Take her and let's go!"
Gaia shouted as she grabbed Beatrice's hand.
