After the Ebian army withdrew from Pompeii, the Holy Legion easily occupied Pompeii. Juliana and others retreated in a hurry. There was a lot of wealth left in Pompeii, but the Holy Legion was not tempted by this huge wealth. After a short rest, he quickly went south again and continued to pursue in the direction of the Undercity.
At this moment, the dark city has completely changed its appearance. The thick city walls have been continuously strengthened, and they seem to be a little white. A "dark sky" covers it, dimming the light of the sky. Entering the city, it is more like a huge city. The fortress, the entire city is heavily guarded, with one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps, and there are patrolling soldiers anytime and anywhere.
Those soldiers were wearing the costumes of the Scourge Church, with a skull tattooed on their chests. When they saw them, they looked at them curiously. After seeing Ron, they showed a respectful expression on their faces, saluted far away, and left.
"They are all students of the Disaster Academy!" Ron introduced with a smile.
"The Undercity has changed a lot!" Looking at everything in the Undercity, Juliana sighed in her heart. Indeed, the defense of the Undercity is much higher than that of Pompeii. "I don't know why, once I enter the Undercity, I always feel safe. many!"
"Come with me!" Ron smiled slightly, and after having arranged for the Ebian army, he led Juliana and others into the city.
He entered the ground along a hole-like opening, crossed a dark river, and finally came to the Hall of the Dead in the main altar of the Scourge Church.
"This... is this the main altar of your Scourge Church?" Juliana was dumbfounded, "It's actually underground?"
"That's right!" Ron smiled. "This is also inspired by the architecture of Manchester. Living underground is always safer than on the ground!"
Juliana looked at the chisel marks on the wall and nodded, "Is there a lot of work involved?"
"It's all done by the congregation!" Ron laughed.
In just over a month, the Scourge Church has developed many congregants. They are all "Necromancers" scattered all over Noah's continent. They do the most humble jobs and are discriminated against everywhere. Here, they are treated by equal treatment.
Those people who were abandoned by the world because they practiced the wrong undead magic came here with pious beliefs and contributed a little to the construction of the Undercity. The number is more than 100,000, and the number continues As the land increased, the Calamity Academy was already overcrowded, and even some people who had only learned undead magic for a few days were assigned as mentors, responsible for teaching newcomers to learn undead magic and correcting their long-standing misunderstandings about undead magic.
"Of course, I have to thank one person!" Ron smiled and waved his hand, "Brother 25, come out!"
"Her Majesty the Queen!" At this moment, Fatty Kidd came out from behind Ron and saluted Juliana with a smile.
Juliana saw it and laughed, "Hehe, I recognize you, you are the son of Lord Carlos, right?"
"Yes!" Fatty smiled, "Unexpectedly, Your Majesty still remembers me!"
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while. At this time, an Ethiopian soldier hurried up to Juliana and whispered something in her ear.
Ron was talking to the fat man, but he kept paying attention to Juliana's face, and saw that Juliana's face was shocked at first, and then turned into anger.
Juliana clenched her teeth in anger, and cursed bitterly, "Damn Holy See, damn!"
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Ron asked, he felt that something had happened!
Speaking of Juliana, it turns out that the Ethiopian civilians who escaped from Pompeii walked a little slower, and were stopped by the Holy See's army on the banks of the Joseph River. Those magic sticks who believe in the God of Light think that these The souls of men have been "defiled" by the devil to "purify" them.
Hearing this news, the Ebia cavalry regiment who was in charge of the escort immediately went back to rescue people and started fighting with those people.
After Julianna finished speaking, everyone's faces showed anger, among them Kadina said angrily, "It's really abominable to attack civilians!"
"For the Holy See, there is no difference between common people and common people, only the difference between believers and unbelievers. Those who believe in their gods are their friends, and those who don't believe in them are their enemies!" Carlos, the Minister of Finance, said coldly, and his expression immediately changed. Yi Shen, "These damned guys!"
"Then what should we do now?" Lauren asked, his face showing deep worry, "It is impossible for our army to fight against them, there is no chance of winning!"
Juliana didn't answer, and there were faint tears in her eyes. The last batch of withdrawals were her most loyal followers back then, but now...
"Forget it, let them come back!" Juliana sighed, "Stop pestering those civilians... let them go!"
Everyone's heart is heavy, but they know that this is the only option at present.
Ron thought quickly, moved his mouth, and said, "Let me go and have a look!"
"What?" Everyone froze for a moment, they couldn't believe their ears.
Cardina hurriedly said, "Ron, you can't leave here, the Undercity needs you!"
"Yes, Ron, if you go, I'd rather go!" Di Lin also persuaded, "I will help you save them!"
"Yes, Ron, there are more important battles waiting for us!" Juliana also persuaded, "It's better for you to stay here!"
"Our Scourge Church is the guardian of the Kingdom of Ebia, and the civilians of Ebia are also my people, so I will not sit idly by no matter what!" Ron smiled slightly, his eyes overflowing with strong confidence, "I will go Come on! It'll be fine!"
Ron insisted on going, but everyone's persuasion was fruitless, so they had to compromise.
"Ron, you must be careful!" Before leaving, Juliana repeatedly urged, "If you can't save them, forget it, don't put yourself in it!"
"Don't worry!" Ron responded with a slight nod. Immediately afterwards, a huge bone dragon rose up, flew into the sky, broke through the fog over the Undercity, and flew towards the north.
"Ron! You must be safe..." Basara stood in the crowd, watching Ron's back, praying silently.
…
The Joseph River has turned into a sea of blood, and countless corpses are lying in a pool of blood. Judging from their costumes, they are all Ebian civilians.
A cavalry of about 5000 to 6000 people, armed with weapons, confronted more than 300 soldiers of the Holy Legion on the opposite side, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Behind them, there was a large group of civilians who were trembling with fright. Their faces were pale, and their supplies were scattered all over the ground. Some of them lay dead bodies on the ground and burst into tears.
The more than 300 soldiers of the Holy Legion on the opposite side looked relaxed, and they didn't change their faces when facing enemies several times their size.
"Bright Law Enforcement Team!"
This title is exactly the name of the team in front of them. They are dressed in white clothes and white armor, with a stern look, and they can't help sneering at the poor Ebian civilians.
They are the hands of the gods, masters of death, and demons from hell. As the most mysterious group of people in the Holy See, their existence is to bring death to those who do not believe in God.
"Do you think you can block our footsteps?" At this time, a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance smiled slightly, "I tell you, the person who God wants him to die will never live!"
As if anticipating the approaching danger, the war horse snorted uneasily, and the air was a little suffocated. At this time, a man who looked like the commander of the Ebian cavalry regiment stepped forward and sternly shouted, "Let me go immediately!" people!"
"They" refers to the soldiers captured in the first wave of charge just now. Some of them even gave their lives to protect the Ebian civilians behind them.
"Are you talking about them?" The wretched middle-aged man smiled slightly, and with a movement of his fingers, a dozen or so tied up Ebian soldiers were pushed out. I saw that the captured Ethiopian soldiers looked sluggish, obviously being tortured a lot.
The head of the Ethiopian Cavalry Regiment twitched slightly on his face. Those who were captured by mistake were all brothers they lived with day and night, and it would be uncomfortable for anyone to fall into the hands of the enemy.
The wretched middle-aged man "Jie Jie" smiled, and the indescribable hair in his laughter stood out. He flicked his fingers, and a little spark flew out of his fingertips and landed on the nearest Ebian soldier.
With a sound of "bear—", the Ethiopian soldier ignited a raging fire, screamed uncontrollably, rolled on the ground, and was burned to ashes in a short while.
"Look, this is the fate of fighting against the God of Light!" The wretched middle-aged man laughed arrogantly.
"asshole!"
"Go to hell!"
"Let them go!"
The eyes of the Ebia soldiers were red. They drew their weapons and were about to step forward to fight desperately, but they were held back by the regiment leader.
"You mean to let people go?" The wretched middle-aged man laughed.
"What do you want?" The head of the cavalry regiment also calmed down at this time, and said coldly, he didn't dare to act rashly. From the battle just now, he could see that although the opponent's numbers were small, their fighting power was terrifyingly strong , so many of them are not opponents at all.
The wretched middle-aged man in front of him hadn't made a move yet, but the group leader felt that this wretched middle-aged man was much more terrifying than the others.
"It's very simple!" The wretched middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Those who blaspheme should die, you... you... including you..." He pointed at the Ebian soldiers and the civilians and said, "All should go to hell, no one will be left behind." !"
While speaking, cruel smiles appeared on the faces of the soldiers of the Bright Law Enforcement Team. They looked at everyone in front of them. In their eyes, these people were no longer human beings, but corpses, corpses that could be killed. corpse.
Groups of rays of light began to condense, fierce murderous intent spread instantly, and the aura of a strong man filled the entire space.
The head of the Ethiopian cavalry gritted his teeth.
"Fight!"
"kill!"
Following the order of the regiment commander, the Ebia cavalry regiment began to charge, with the sound of iron hooves stepping on the ground, making a dull bang, and brandishing their sharp swords, they slashed fiercely at the Bright Law Enforcement Team.
"Haha, overestimate yourself!"
The wretched middle-aged man sneered slightly, and when he grabbed it, a ray of light flashed out instantly.
"Gods come to the world to dispel all darkness..."
"Listen to the singing of the angels, may the brilliance of the gods shine on the continent... Gain a new life in the sinking..."
The faces of the members of the Bright Law Enforcement Team showed solemn expressions. During the chanting, a bright light emanated from the Bright and Hot Law Team. Their whole figures seemed to be covered with a layer of brilliance, solemn, holy, and inviolable.
"go to hell!"
On the holy face of the wretched middle-aged man, there was a hint of ferocity.
