Chapter 773: Charging Banshee, Ringing Death Knell
The banshees Ash brought with him consisted of two teams of thirty people. This was not an exploration team, but a serious battle sequence.
Since the distance between Rhine and Blood Harbor is too far, the banshees set up a relay node in the middle, where a large number of banshees are stationed.
Monica brought reinforcements from the Banshees' relay node - although no battle had taken place at that time, Ash still asked everyone to set off and brought a large amount of heavy firepower.
So at this moment, Nini was pleasantly surprised to find that Ash and others who came to support were fully armored and well-equipped - almost everyone carried several dragon breath cannons, and the barrels of Gatling guns were densely arranged in a row.
This can be said to be Caster's most elite fighting force. The Banshees are physically strong, and their six hands can control weapons separately. Although there are only two teams, the density of their firepower on the battlefield can match that of ten companies of the Crusader Army!
There is no one in the entire North who can withstand the frontal attack of ten companies of the Crusaders.
Not to mention the "big guy" who has to bend over to stand. Even if it is not a special war machine, its size alone can make it immune to attacks from light weapons!
Nini was completely relieved and looked across.
The Candlelight Society's priests numbered over forty, but they were all mortals, and it was unknown how they had managed to pick up the heavy steam rifles.
In addition to them, there are some scattered [Investigators] scattered everywhere, only a few people in total.
Then came Jules and his choir.
Nini's eyes fell on Yule. This strange man was very powerful and almost killed her in an instant.
The key is that Ash can also kill her instantly.
It now seems that the main enemy is still Pope Yule.
Nini narrowed her eyes and quickly shared information with Ash in the mind link.
The banshees began to line up and prepare for the charge, removing their weapons from the buckles of their armor, loading their bullets, and preparing their ammunition belts.
The Vatican on the other side did not move, but just watched quietly.
Nini frowned. They were waiting to charge, but what were the other side waiting for?
Ash, who was standing beside her, had already raised her weapon. Without hesitation, she raised her hand slightly.
The Banshees stretched out their hands to close their visors, leaving no part of their bodies exposed, only the black, hideous steel armor.
They themselves are the most powerful war machines, with cold eyes glowing with a faint light, appearing and disappearing in the gaps of their visors.
"Prepare."
The banshees lowered their bodies and shrank back together. Their snake tails were like taut springs, ready to explode at any moment.
Ash pulled out two long swords from his side. The sound of the sharp blades and scabbards scratching each other was so sharp that it seemed to be able to scratch his ears.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and people stared at the battlefield with wide eyes.
"kill."
Ash's voice was as steady as steel, but the Banshees' responses were passionate and violent!
In just a moment, more than thirty banshees suddenly charged forward. They were thirty steel-made death gods!
Banshees, they were born for killing. Castel Heavy Industries coated their bodies with steel, allowing their sharp blades to spew flames!
The priests opened fire in a panic, barely enough time for the overloaded steam rifles to fire again.
But this time the priests' shooting was much more scattered. Many of them looked pale and kept praying as they looked at the banshees rushing towards them in an orderly manner - they could only pray.
But the prayers to the candlelight did not protect their weapons and flesh and blood. The banshees did not dodge at all and let the bullets hit their armor.
Ash even dragged her long sword towards the bullet. Sparks flashed, and she quickly threw it behind her.
The banshees charged at an extremely fast speed. To the priest, it looked like a huge piece of steel was smashing down on them.
The eyes glowing dimly under the visor quickly enlarged in the terrified eyes of the priests.
They only had time to fire one shot before the banshees were already in front of them.
Rows of black gun barrels came straight up—
boom!
A torrent of blazing flames surged through the crowd, painting color on their pale faces. The volleys of dragon breath cannons were like a wave that swept everything away. The banshees rode the waves and sounded the death knell for the enemy.
None of the priests fled, not because they were fearless, but because they simply did not have time to move their trembling legs.
The banshees rushed so fast that they didn't even have time to retreat!
The Dragon Breath Cannon exerted its strongest effect in the hands of the Banshee. The short range was compensated by the cluster charge, and the powerful power directly tore through the enemy's line.
No, it wasn't a tear. When the banshees stopped, all they saw was a sea of crimson lava. The entire priest group had evaporated.
This was only the first strike of the Banshees.
The combination of Castel's military technology and the extraordinary race achieved a terrifying crushing effect, which even a sacred object like the steam rifle could not resist.
"Is it that simple? If there were only this kind of enemy, perhaps we could have recaptured the Rhine today." Nini looked at the dragon breath cannon in her hand with some disbelief.
If it were just her and Una, they might be suppressed by Jules, but the banshees here are an entire army.
Does the Holy See have such an army?
No matter how powerful Jules is, he is only one person.
By the way, where did Jules go?
Nini looked up in some confusion. Jules had not made any move just now, and Ash had been on high alert, ready to counter Jules' attack at any time.
But...it didn't happen.
Did you escape?
The steam brought by the lava jet gradually dissipated, and the banshees turned their eyes to the front.
Jules was standing leisurely on a stone step, looking at this side quietly.
Beside him
"Actors? Is this the choir you were talking about?" Ash tilted his head.
Jules was surrounded by young men. They were neither carrying weapons nor wearing armor. Instead, each of them was wearing a white robe, which made it look difficult for them to move.
Facing the murderous Banshee, they remained unmoved and just kept chanting poems softly.
I have to say that they sang very well. Their voices were melodious and beautiful, and their skills were very superb. The layers of harmonies did not feel abrupt at all, but rather had a sense of integrated beauty.
"It seems to be just ordinary singing, without any mental attack." Nini frowned.
Banshees are a spiritual race and are very sensitive to this aspect.
"First, a round of covering fire." Ash's voice did not hesitate at all.
The situation was a bit strange. She didn't choose to rush forward rashly, but the bullet didn't hesitate.
The banshees raised their Gatling guns, and the ones in the front raised their dragon breath cannons again.
"Fire."
boom!
Another shield appeared out of thin air, bullets clanged as they hit it, and the jets from the dragon's breath cannon spread out along the shield.
"What a powerful force! Castel's potential is far beyond my imagination." Yule, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Then listen to the hymns."
