In the deep mountains not far below the airship, one can vaguely see a quarry that has been abandoned for many years, and unfinished sculptures.
Luo Xia still knelt quietly, praying in a low voice, facing the tallest and largest majestic stone pillar in front of him, and also facing the City of Oracles.
In the sky not far behind him, the shells fired by the five giant airships just shot across his head like meteors.
Rorschach was still praying, neither raised his head nor opened his eyes.
From this scene, it seemed that along with his prayer, the Holy See of the North Land had started the real fifth mission.
........................
Near Station No. [-] in the upper city, a fierce battle is erupting.
This is a very important traffic node, connecting many densely populated residential areas, so that the secret religion must bear a lot of casualties and losses, and forcibly opened up a safe area here to receive and accommodate the nearby people.
As a result, he was besieged by a large number of monsters as a matter of course, and was completely surrounded, tightly surrounded, the defense line kept shrinking and retreating, and soon there was only the last station hall left.
There are more than 5000 people gathered inside, but only more than 1000 combatants from all sides...
This is almost a desperate situation...
But it also successfully attracted most of the nearby monsters, giving tens of thousands of people nearby more chances to escape.
The recording officer, who was too old to walk, was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the piles of projected monsters on the station square outside, and lowered his head to record in the ordinary notebook placed on his lap:
"We're still waiting for a miracle..."
This sentence was repeated three times by him, and the first two times were written earlier.
Not far from him, Deltina, the investigator of Section Nine, was wrapping a bandage on a policeman's head.
The limited healing magic must be used in more important places, so that these little knowledge of first aid that usually does not exist can be used to some extent.
It's just that Deltina's own hands are also covered with blood and blisters. When she helped the soldiers load the matchlock guns, she accidentally held the barrel of the gun and burned it out. She frowned in pain even if she moved a little.
Although she is just an ordinary girl with no fighting power, she has been working hard in her own way.
That beautiful face was already stained with blood and black, and looked very embarrassed, even the four-leaf clover hair ornament pinned to the end of the hair did not know where it fell.
Only those rose-gold eyes were still firm, without the slightest bit of confusion and despair, which formed a sharp contrast with the dejected and sobbing passers-by beside him.
She believed that Luo Xia would come to save her.
My future boyfriend will definitely appear in front of me like a god descending from the earth, kill all the monsters outside, and save everyone here.
She has always believed that...
After bandaging a wounded man's wound, Deltina wiped the sweat from her forehead, making her pretty face even dirtier.
She wanted to rest for a while, just a little...
But he heard a muffled prayer coming from his ear.
The prayers were also very familiar, those that Rorschach had taught her.
Deltina hurriedly looked around and found dozens of people kneeling on the ground, facing north, with their right hands on their chests, praying devoutly.
They are all ordinary people from the north.
Deltina thought for a while, then leaned over, followed their rhythm, closed her eyes, and recited the prayer Rorschach taught her.
After reading a few words, she heard an exclamation not far away:
"They... are coming again!"
"We have...can't hold on anymore..."
"Perhaps only a miracle can save us..."
After the exclamation, there were only sighs and sobs left in the hall, but there was not much panic and crying.
When the last moment came, it became even quieter...
Only Deltina and these northerners were still praying in low voices, believing that the [miracle] would eventually come.
But what came earlier than the [Miracle] was the sound of roaring and continuous footsteps getting closer.
Then, Deltina heard a few howls piercing the air above her head.
boom boom boom boom~
Thirty-two huge strip-shaped cannonballs taller than a person hit the square in front of the station one after another. Accompanied by a series of muffled sounds and dust flying in the sky, the entire hall began to tremble.
But these huge cannonballs did not explode, but were embedded into the floor one by one, but they were enough to smash the group of monsters rushing in front into large pieces of monster debris.
Then, the bullet casing was kicked open from the inside, revealing the magazine inside, and 32 knights in silver and white armor jumped out of it.
The armor has compact and smooth lines, and the whole body is integrated without too many decorations. Only the animal head structures such as eagles and foxes are highlighted on the shoulders, and a cloak that seems to be made of some kind of smooth metal is draped behind it.
There is a fully enclosed visor on the face, a huge round sapphire-like single eye is inlaid in the middle, and a pair of small wings-shaped decorations are left on the temples.
"Queue."
The knight with a lion's head decoration on his shoulder issued a calm order.
The remaining 29 knights with eagle heads on their shoulders stood beside him, drawing in a straight line, between the station hall and the remaining monsters.
The other two knights with fox heads on their shoulders took off a spear-like staff from their shoulders. One of them inserted the staff heavily into the floor, and a circle of light immediately spread around him. Covering the knights in front.
The other stood behind him, holding his spear and staff flat on his chest, and stood quietly.
The group of surviving monsters not far away has already rushed towards the team of knights who descended from the sky.
The knights standing in front held the sword hilt that popped up from their shoulders in a uniform movement, and then bent slightly sideways, with their free left hands folded on their knees, in a ready fighting stance.
But they didn't draw their swords in a hurry, they just silently watched the monster approaching quickly with the blue one eye on the visor.
It wasn't until the monster's sharp claws were about to touch them that the lion-headed knight ordered in a low voice, still calm:
"attack."
Accompanied by a burst of 'clang clang clang', the knights pulled out the two-handed heavy swords on their shoulders in unison with exactly the same movement, drew beautiful arcs of light, and slashed at the monster in front of them.
The projected monsters rushing to the front, no matter what they looked like or what form they were in, were all cut in half by a single sword.
Then, the knights took half a step sideways in a uniform manner, their bodies turned sideways slightly, and then, following the inertia, they raised the epee high in their hands, leaving crescent-like silver sword lights in the air, which together formed a sharp blade A wave like a wave instantly strangled the monsters that pounced on it.
The leading knight commander looked at the remaining monsters a little further away, and gave another order:
"Light the blade."
The knights raised the epee with one hand, put the blade against the back of their left hand, and pulled the hilt together, so that the blade rubbed along the gauntlet on the back of the hand from the tail to the tip.
Accompanied by a burst of fine noises and frictional sparks, the entire blade was completely ignited by a pure white holy flame.
In the next second, the knights waved their flaming epees together, and the flaming sword lights formed a straight line, like a huge, long and narrow arc, roaring out with raging holy flames, cutting off and burning all the enemies in front of them. All the monsters instantly emptied the square in front of the station.
But farther away, monsters can still be seen coming in a steady stream.
So the knight commander continued in a low voice:
"Release the restriction."
The chin of the visor suddenly opened a slit, as if opening its mouth, and a low roar could be heard faintly, the whole armor seemed to come alive.
The light blue one eye also turned into a scarlet blood color, shining with a faint fierce light.
The weapons in the hands of the knights are no longer the unified standard two-handed swords, but their own personalized weapons such as long spears, heavy axes, and machetes.
Then, the Knight Commander gave the final order:
"When you see an enemy, you must kill."
Undertaker: Chapter 213 211. The Oracle of Destruction
Following the order of the knight commander, the 29 knights lined up beside them raised their personalized weapons and leaped high in place, like eagles soaring in the night sky, pounced further Projection monsters.
The two knights wearing fox shoulders remained in place at the back, half-kneeling side by side, gently sticking their helmets on the staffs that had been inserted into the floor, as if they were praying some kind of last prayer before the battle.
The last knight commander held the hilt in his hand with both hands, and then broke it hard, splitting the two-handed epee from the middle, and turned it into two long and narrow straight knives, one on the left and the other on the right.
He also jumped high, and the light and thin metal cloak on his shoulders twisted and changed, turning into a pair of skeleton wings, which were then dyed with light blue light, and woven into a pair of light and agile wings like a butterfly. .
With the help of his wings, he floated in the air, and with the scarlet one-eyed on the faceplate, he found an area where the monsters were most dense.
Then, he raised the straight knife above his head with one hand, and put the straight knife horizontally in front of his chest with the other. After setting up his hands, he slammed down like a cannonball, and fell into the area where the monsters were most dense.
The two knives in his hands swung at a high speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, drawing out silvery lights of the knives in the air, and then weaving them together into a gorgeous white lotus like a dream.
The white lotus woven by the light of the knife disappeared in a flash, as if it was more like a night cloud, leaving only a large area of fragmented monsters around, proving that it had once bloomed.
"Northern Holy Church..."
The recording officer in the station hall murmured the origin of this team of knights in a low voice. Apart from wrinkles on his old face, there was only deep awe.
"The most powerful elite who can hunt witches with a mortal body, the sharpest blade in Orville's hand..."
"I am very honored to be able to fight side by side with you. The Northland is indeed a place where heroes are born."
As he sighed, he habitually wrote down useless records with a pen:
"The Holy See of the North has returned to God's Domain today."
Just as he finished writing this sentence, the thousands of monsters surrounding Station No. [-] had been wiped out by only thirty Northland Holy Churches.
After confirming that there was no trace of the enemy within a few kilometers, they stopped. The silver-white armor opened a gill-like gap on the chest, waist, back, and knees. A puff of white steam spewed out from inside.
The scarlet one-eye on the visor also returned to blue and clear, and 'closed its mouth', reintegrating into one; the personalized weapon in its hand also returned to the standard two-handed sword again.
They regrouped outside the station, preparing to go to the next battlefield, and had no intention of communicating with the people in the station at all.
The recording officer hurriedly asked one of his subordinates to push him out, and before they left, he asked:
"I am the recorder of the secret sect, may I ask what your next plan is..."
The knight captain wearing the lion's head and shoulders turned his head, glanced at him coldly with that one eye, and replied calmly:
"Punish rape and eradicate evil, protect the innocent."
This is the core dogma that runs through the Holy See of the Northland and the Avia Sect.
After all, the soft metal skins behind them turned into blue butterfly wings, soaring into the sky together, and disappeared in front of the recording officer.
The recording officer silently looked at the direction they left, and then looked back at the soldiers under his command.
His face was full of longing and admiration...
This made him sigh in a low voice:
"I hope my successor can handle the relationship with the North..."
Perhaps it was because of the easing of the situation that he had the leisure to think about issues other than fighting.
But in the next second, he felt his heart beating suddenly, and there was a palpitation like suffocation.
It's like feeling something extremely scary...
Time seems to be suspended at this moment, whether it is body movements or thinking consciousness, they all stagnate at this moment.
The only thing that didn't stop was the endless fear that came from the direction of the old street, like a vast tide, the most primitive and absolute fear carved into the depths of every living being's instinct.
It wasn't just him alone, everyone in the station, those who were still fleeing on the street, those who insisted on resisting in churches everywhere, and even those monsters with teeth and claws all stopped at this moment.
This city, which has been noisy for thousands of years, has entered a deathly silence at this moment.
They are about to hear the real oracle, and they must keep absolute silence for this moment.
Even if it was an oracle that no one could understand...
Even if it was an oracle that was about to send down destruction...
But at the moment when the world was at a standstill, people saw a light appearing in front of them.
A light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Holy, genial, sublime, majestic light.
Even the Marquis who was blindfolded, even the blind man who had been blind for many years, all saw this light.
Light from Anastasia.
Before the oracle of destruction came, the Sisters of 'Blind and Mercy' completed their tenth order of magic, causing the first miracle.
Under the shining light in front of them, people no longer fear in their hearts, their wounds no longer hurt, their bodies are no longer tired, and their strength is no longer exhausted.
Feel the flow of time again, feel the temperature of the body.
