Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

"We are leaving. The church needs me to go back and preside over the hero summoning ceremony."

Angela is saying goodbye to Red.

"What about you, bro?"

"I'll go with Angela"

Reid showed a look of disgust. The church doesn't like you, so why are you following them?

"Okay then. I'll escort you out of the city. My troops are also being prepared. I hope the alliance won't treat us as enemies by then."

Angela turned around and said, "Don't worry, I will make it clear to the church. With a powerful enemy at hand, I believe those noble armies will also be able to distinguish right from wrong."

After bidding farewell to Angela, Red stroked his chin and thought:

Hero summoning ceremony? Clara said that the coward in the sky will not send down heroes anymore, so this is a good opportunity to see if what the elf said is true.

------

The day after the Demon King was resurrected, the allied forces that arrived at Rodney's former forces were unstoppable, eliminating all the remaining remnants and plundering a large amount of food and labor.

On the fifth day after the Demon King's resurrection, the Alliance Army crossed the Monster Border and began to march towards the Demon King's City. One day later, they were attacked by a large number of monsters.

But in front of the well-prepared human army, the monsters were like a mob. They were easily defeated by the Allied Forces and had no power to resist.

On the eighth day after the Demon King's resurrection, the demon army appeared! These terrifying abominations from hell were endless in number, and the appearance of only a few low-level demons had caused considerable losses to the alliance army.

The leader is a Screaming Claw Demon, who has two kinds of demons under his command. One is the Lesser Demon, which is just much stronger than ordinary people. Its body shape is similar to that of normal people, it has six legs, and it crawls forward, but there are many of them, and their teeth can slowly corrode the flesh and magic armor.

Once you are knocked to the ground by this demon, you will surely die if you cannot break free in time.

The second type of demon is the tearing demon, which is about three meters long, with a pair of wings and sharp limbs. They have the ability to fly in the air, not fast, but still in large numbers.

If the prey is not big, it can use its limbs to pierce the prey and then tear it apart. If it encounters a large prey, it will summon its companions, pull it into the sky together, and release a tearing magic. Even the toughest objects will be torn in half.

These low-level demons caused considerable losses to the Alliance Army. The heaviest loss was caused by the Screaming Claw Demon. In order to kill it, the Alliance Army lost a great magician, ten great mages, and nearly a dozen great knights.

But these losses will be replenished soon, because this alliance army was originally going to fight Rodney, but now the mission has suddenly changed, and the target of the crusade has become the Demon King. The alliance has sent more reinforcements.

The commander of the coalition forces this time was still Shwit. After repelling the demon attack, he rode on his beloved horse and said to the attendant beside him:

"bring here"

The servant handed a book with chains to Shwit. He took out a key and pointed it at the keyhole. Magic runes appeared, and then with a click, the chains were unlocked.

Shwitt opened the book and read it, muttering:

"Something's wrong! Shouldn't the main force of the demons be horned demons?"

The horned demons were the backbone of the demon army of the Demon King's army in the last war with the Demon King. They have red skin, are about 2.5 meters tall, and have a pair of huge horns on their heads, so they are called horned demons. At the same time, their recurved joints can provide them with faster running speed.

The weapon in their hands is a magic sword burning with hellfire. Even the armor made by Evelyn could not withstand the sword's slashing.

It can be said that horned demons are the regular army of the demon army, but this time not a single horned demon was seen, only inferior demons. Now there may be only one explanation, that is, the demon king's strength has not fully recovered.

"Speed ​​up the march and defeat the Demon King as soon as possible!"

I don't know how powerful the Demon King is in his prime, so my troops must test him first.

"General, this is not appropriate. Shouldn't we wait for the follow-up reinforcements? The heroes haven't arrived yet."

"We can't wait. The mission of our vanguard is to test the waters. Don't you understand?"

After Shwitt's order was issued, it caused dissatisfaction in the army. Their mission was originally just to fight Rodney, but who knew that they had to fight monsters and demons now? Now they have to fight the Demon King too. Isn't this courting death?

On the fifteenth day after the Demon King's resurrection, the vanguard of the Alliance Army was finally no longer attacked by demons and monsters, and the casualties had reached one third.

A tearing demon grabbed a knight and tore him in half in mid-air. Blood rained from the sky. This hellish scene plus the fatigue of the rush exceeded the limit of human endurance at this moment.

The great rout had begun.

Shwitt overestimated the willpower of his army and underestimated the number of inferior demons in the demon army. He had no idea of ​​the overwhelming force recorded in the book and only saw the horned demons as the main force.

"Run away!"

"Release the magic barrier! Block those damn tearing demons! Quick!" Shwit shouted.

Defeat was inevitable, and now he could only try to reduce the number of casualties as much as possible.

Some magicians were so busy watching the Tearing Demon in the sky that they forgot to look at the inferior demons in front of them. More than a dozen inferior demons rushed forward and ate the magicians clean.

At the same time, the church's hero summoning ceremony was also hindered.

"who is he!"

Fantis was so angry that she started cursing, for the simple reason that a pure saint of the church actually brought a man back.

Then it's the classic: you're not worthy of my daughter, take the money and get out.

No, we really love each other.

Not enough? I'll add some more, get out of here!

Just as everyone was arguing, there was suddenly a loud noise.

A bishop pushed the door open hastily and said:

"Oh no! Cultists! Cultists are attacking the temple!"

"What?" Fantis asked in disbelief.

What is this place? This is the headquarters of the Dikwa Church! Anyone who dares to attack here is no longer an ordinary cultist. We must strike hard!

And the other party was indeed not an ordinary cultist. The six people in the Council of Thirteen who were attacking head-on, and Melozi were in the dark, ready to disrupt the ceremony at any time.

"Everyone, take up your weapons now, defend the goddess! Defend the temple!"

Then Fantis turned to Angela and said, "Let's hold the hero summoning ceremony now! I'm going to the Holy Treasury."

Then he glanced at Bard again: "Boy, you must protect the Saint even if it costs your life!"

The six cardinals of the temple formed the apex of a hexagram, and Angela stood in the middle. Then the magic circle on the ground began to light up slowly, and the holy light covered the entire temple.

Bard left the temple and took out his staff, which had already been enchanted with various magic enhancements. Even if the old man didn't say anything, he would have tried his best to protect Angela.
