After Becoming The Tyrant
Chapter 176 Sacrifice
"Who?"
The knight guarding outside the secret iron church heard a slight noise, he held the hand crossbow, turned around and raised his hand when he ordered.The sharp arrow left the string and shot empty, but there was nothing in the corner where the sound came from.The knight frowned, and walked towards a corner with his sword in his hand, his pupils shrank suddenly when he got close.
The body of the knight commander was leaning against the corner, the fatal wound was on his throat, and the blood soaked his armor had turned a solidified dark brown.It's been a while since the knight commander died, but before that, he didn't hear any abnormalities, and he didn't hear the star point alarm from his companions.
The knight reached out to grab the whistle hanging on his chest, and when he was about to blow the whistle, a dagger cut his throat cleanly from behind.
Betray...betray...
Before dying, he realized the truth and fell forward.
"the seventh."
The assassin was a monk wearing a white robe. He watched the last guardian knight directly belonging to the Elder's House fall in a pool of blood with a blank face.
In the same scene around the iron church, some of the patrolling guardian knights were suddenly stabbed into the stomach by an oncoming companion at a corner, and some were standing by the wall, and their throats were suddenly strangled by ropes.The assassination came quickly and brutally, and in a blink of an eye, the "tight" defenders of the Iron Church became corpses all over the place.
The assassination did not alarm anyone in the church, and all the isolation measures for keeping secrets at this time in turn became the best cover for the assassins.
The guardian knights were wiped out, but the person who organized the assassination did not intend to tear off the seal and open the bronze door.
The people in the church were completely unaware that the iron church had been taken over by another group of people.
Inside the Iron Church, the Chamber of Secrets.
Sagney was restless, walking up and down the room.The convening of the secret meeting followed the old law of selecting the pope. All the participants, except during the discussion period, could leave the secret room, and could not leave the room for half a step during the rest of the time.The doors to the rooms can only be opened from the outside, and the windows are small and sealed.
The depressive atmosphere is already easy to make people anxious, not to mention the ulterior motive of Sagney.
He took out the letter hidden in his arms and read it again.
The time is today, and according to the deal he made with Ferry III, someone will secretly take him out of the Iron Church.Originally, Segney thought that he had arranged everything properly, from meeting people to bribing the guardian knight, he had repeatedly confirmed every link.But when he woke up in the secret room in a trance, he realized that things would not go as smoothly as he thought.
The secret room was completely isolated from the outside world, and he had no way of judging the time outside.
Hell, he didn't want to gamble on those barbarians' chivalry.
While complaining, Sagney reached out and tried to open the window.
The moment he hit the window, he took a big step back and shook his wrist vigorously.
"Holy Lord, what is this?"
He twisted his face, and put the burning hand in front of his eyes, only to see a long black scar on his palm, bloody and bloody, as if he had touched a soldering iron.
iron?
A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Sagney's back. He reluctantly stepped forward to look carefully at the gap in the window, and all the blood disappeared from his face.
There was a faint light coming from the gap in the window. Before that, he thought it was sunlight from the outside world, but it wasn't until now that he realized that it wasn't sunlight, it was molten iron!
"Let me out!"
Like crazy, he pulled the window hard, regardless of the burning.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt the sound of water coming from the roof.
Whoa- whoa-
The sound of water that Segney heard was not an illusion.
Buckets of strangely colored oil were hoisted up to the roof of the church by pulleys, and men in boots and gloves poured buckets of oil evenly on the sloping roof of the church.The sharp architectural lines deliberately created to highlight the sense of holiness are of great help at this time. Once the special oil is poured on the ridges, it immediately flows down.
Iron Church, the main body of this secret church is made of granite and black iron. The reason why it is named "Iron Church" refers to the fact that God told the prophet in the Holy Book of Revelation that the world should be ruled by an iron scepter; On the one hand, it is also related to its nature, which means that everything that happens here is top secret, sealed with iron, and will never be disclosed.
Today, however, it has completely become an "iron church" where secrets are buried.
After mopping up the outer guards, the assassins checked all the gates of the iron church in turn, poured molten iron on those bronze doors, and completely sealed all the gaps in the doors and windows.With the skylight of the last tower blocked, it became a veritable iron coffin.
All actions were orderly, and the monks in white who poured the iron juice had no expression on their faces and were well-trained.
Soon, the church was like a special rain.
Oddly colored oils, vaguely resembling the "holy ointment" used by monarchs at their coronations, fell down the gargoyles of angels and demons.On the ground, shallow trenches were dug along the church early on. Seen from a high altitude, those shallow trenches formed a hexagram centered on the iron church.
This is a huge, blasphemous sacrificial formation that should never appear in the holy city.
The sacrificial offering is sealed, in a way, the iron church that becomes the coffin and everyone and everything in the church.
This sacrifice was unprecedented.
........................
Rumble -- rumble --
A thunderous roar came from far away from the walls of the holy city.
After being unable to attack the holy city for a long time, the Nujin Empire, represented by the demon wolf, was quiet for a long time, but today it suddenly broke out and organized an extremely vicious attack.
Holy city walls.
With fanatics as the main body, the city guards formed like the previous few times, trying to suppress the offensive of the Nujin Empire by virtue of the strong city walls, moats and continuous crossbows.This time, however, Hull's offense was completely different from the past.
The former ancient heavy cavalry wore black iron helmets cast into wolf heads. They are the sharpest force in the barbarian empire today.These heavy cavalry did not wander behind the besieging army like they did a few times before, but lined up neatly and slowly approached like a giant blade.
Even more striking than them, however, were the creatures that accompanied the heavy cavalry.
A wolf with dark green eyes.
Boom, boom, boom.
The ground seemed to be shaking, and the heavy cavalry separated from the wolf to the left and right, making way for a huge white-haired giant wolf beyond everyone's imagination.
The belief of the barbarians, the leader of the world pack of wolves.
In barbarian lore, a demon wolf that would appear on the land when the world was reduced to battle.As long as there is a wolf alive in the world, it will never die.Thousands of years have passed now, and the flames of war have swept across the land. The demon wolf lives on disaster and flesh and blood.
"Holy Lord! What is that?"
The guards on the city wall groaned weakly. Even the most fanatical believers could not help but tremble at this moment, and it was difficult to hold their weapons.
The wolf was as huge as a small fortress. When it was standing, its cold green eyes were at the same level as the people on the wall.In such cold pupils, the soldiers guarding the city were as small as ants.The few soldiers who were staring at it were paralyzed at the top of the wall, unable to move.The next moment, the demon wolf rushed forward, jumped up halfway, and slammed into the city wall heavily.
rumble--
The solid and heavy city walls collapsed, and smoke and dust billowed.
The snow-white demon wolf stepped on the broken city wall and stepped into the holy city. It stepped on a house with one foot, and raised its head to the sky and let out a long and chilling howl.
The wolves leap high, and the horses gallop.
Under the leadership of the demon wolf, the barbarian imperial warriors rushed into the castle called "Never Fall" together with a pack of wolves.
Hull led his men galloping down the wide holy path, and now no one could resist their charge.All defenses are vulnerable to wolves and knights.This castle with more than [-] towers was breached for the first time today. From then on, the holy place among believers will be reduced to ashes in the flames, and the halo bestowed by the gods will be ruthlessly torn and destroyed.
"Father."
Hanmu, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, followed closely beside his father.According to the custom of the barbarians, on the battlefield, the son served as the guard of the father, and the younger brother served as the guard of the elder brother.Those who act as guards not only have to protect the father and elder brother, but also are responsible for observing the changes on the battlefield.
"Look—"
There was astonishment in his voice.
Hull reined in the reins, raised his head and looked in the direction Han Mu pointed.
I saw the magic wolf slowly approaching in one direction, it lowered its head, its dark green eyes were staring ahead, its canine teeth were white in the sunlight.What can make the wolf show such a vigilant attitude, as if seeing some natural enemy that he hates to the marrow?
"There's a fire in there."
Hanmu pointed to the direction where the wolf was heading, and hissed.
The burning, killing, and looting after the city was broken was not something surprising, but the flames in the distance were completely different from ordinary flames.In the depths of the holy city, something was burning fiercely. The fire was soaring upwards that it was hundreds of kilometers high. The flames were as red as fresh blood, and there was a faint faintness in the flames, as if there was a huge cross.
Not right.
Hull realized something was wrong.
They had just entered the holy city, and the Segney family, who was instigated by Ferry III, made an agreement with them to open the gate of the inner city for them when they entered the city.However, at this time, before they reached the interior of the holy court, the fire burned from the deepest part.
That's not what they set on fire.
Who is also acting in the Holy City today?
With a deep roar, the demon wolf started to run in the holy city, heading straight for the direction where the flames ignited. Everywhere it passed, the houses were knocked down by it, and cracks appeared on the solid rock avenue.
"Follow!"
Hull yelled orders and galloped with a whip.
The knight guarding outside the secret iron church heard a slight noise, he held the hand crossbow, turned around and raised his hand when he ordered.The sharp arrow left the string and shot empty, but there was nothing in the corner where the sound came from.The knight frowned, and walked towards a corner with his sword in his hand, his pupils shrank suddenly when he got close.
