The moment the army rushed into the village of Karl, the battle officially broke out outside the village.
According to the investigation, the church still has about 6,000 people in its hands. All those who were afraid of death have already fled, and the remaining ones are all devout dead soldiers. The paladins rushed out of the house and fought with the soldiers of the Wood Army. The remaining priests were quickly surrounded by mages and rune warriors, looking sparse and helpless.
-Under the suppression of numbers, this is a battle with a high probability of winning, otherwise Elizabeth would not have sent troops.
The only possible variable is the pope.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Bei flew into the village, he turned on his sensors and scanned for traces of Grant everywhere. Miles also took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the village, preparing to join forces with him to fight. It was the last battle, and they had to be careful. No one knew what cards Grant had up his sleeve, let alone whether "Grant" would become stronger if Abel succeeded in seizing the pigeon.
It's just...the two of them couldn't find any trace of Grant for a while.
"Is he not here at all?"
Some doubts arose in Gu Bei's heart.
However, considering the so-called atonement plan of Cain and Abel, if they wanted to kill themselves on this mountain, they would definitely bring Grant here through spiritual induction. The church probably used some kind of concealment method to block the water element and hide Grant.
It's best to ask someone.
He looked down and saw that the village was already in a fight, and the only area that had not been affected was the square in the center of the village, opposite the main entrance of the church. At this moment, most of the villagers seemed to have gathered in the square, including fanatical believers who had come from all over the country, as well as a few bishops who had not yet participated in the war.
Before the Wood Army and the Black Nightmare Army reached there, some small piles of earth surrounded the square and became the only barrier that the people inside could rely on.
So, Gu Bei flew over there without hesitation.
He flew very fast, and in a short while he reached about ten meters above the square. Everyone in the square was startled. Seeing his face clearly, the bishops immediately shrank back, not even daring to say a word. However, some other fanatical believers obviously did not recognize him and ran straight over, waving white flags with crosses on them and yelling:
"You... Devil! Devil, get out of here! This is God's territory, we don't welcome you!"
"God is guarding us in heaven. If you dare to do anything, you will definitely be punished!"
Gu Bei shook his head, and the stupid parts about the church became vivid again in his memory. He didn't want to talk nonsense to these people, so he made a half fist with his right hand and blew air into the hollow of his fist, blowing out hundreds of dense bubbles. The bubble expanded to the size of an adult, quickly floated towards the believers, and finally enveloped them, instantly blocking out all sounds.
The whole square suddenly became quiet.
And he turned his head and looked at the trembling bishops.
"Where's Grant?"
Although it was a calm word, it seemed to have an indescribable sense of oppression in the ears of the residents who were taking refuge and in the ears of the bishop. They feel like their lives are hanging on a tightrope, and they die in a daze. It may just be the flick of their fingers by the other party.
"I, I won't tell you!" A bishop plucked up the courage and shouted.
So, Benjamin flicked his fingers and he turned into an ice sculpture.
His eyes fell on another bishop.
"Where is he?"
The bishop was relatively young, and even when he was just being looked at, his hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably. After some hesitation, he pointed to the church and said hesitantly: "In...in the church, in the innermost confessional on the left."
Hearing this, Gu Bei nodded, ignored the people in the square, turned around and flew straight into the church. The church was extremely quiet and empty, and in the innermost corner on the left, the door of the confessional was closed, with a cross hanging on the door, exuding a strange power that covered the entire room.
It should be the thing that blocks the water element induction method. And Grant, I'm afraid he is in this room.
At that moment, Gu Bei became cautious again.
He summoned an ice arrow, fired it from a distance, shattered the cross into pieces, and then used water vapor to slowly open the door to the confessional.
Inside the gate, Grant was lying on a simple bed, his eyes closed and motionless.
"It's not over yet."
Gu Bei frowned when he saw this. He wasn't too surprised by this. Without systematic sacrifice, it would have been absolutely difficult for him to resist Cain's seizure. So what about Grant? What means can he have to resist these old immortal ghosts
But... at least they saved themselves a big battle.
He took a deep breath and slowly walked into the confessional.
Within two steps, Grant's face was very close. You could see that he was sleeping particularly peacefully, with long breathing and a calm expression. He was like a newborn baby who had not yet had time to be colored by the world and was just sleeping on his own. With. Gu Bei did not act immediately. At this moment, he could not help but think of some very distant parts of his memory related to Grant.
It was so long ago that they weren't even enemies.
Gu Bei felt... nothing at all.
Because he is not Benjamin, the person in front of him has nothing to do with him.
It's time to end all disputes - with this thought in mind, he summoned an ice needle, pointed it at Grant's heart, tapped his fingertips, and launched it. However, ding ding ding ding... A series of automatically triggered barriers suddenly appeared on Grant's body. The ice needle penetrated the first few layers, but was eventually blocked and failed to kill Grant accurately.
There is still such a thing...
Gu Bei shook his head helplessly and condensed a dozen more ice needles in succession. But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.
"careful!"
He turned around, only to find that Miles had entered the confession room at some point and was blocking him behind him. Not only that, Gu Bei clearly saw that there were three thin needles inserted into Miles's shoulder. The needles were green and they were poisonous at first sight!
Damn...
Gu Beigang wanted to help Miles treat him, but then he seemed to think of something and immediately turned to look at Grant.
At this moment, Grant was lying on the bed with his eyes open. It was as horrifying as a corpse whose eyes had just been closed and suddenly opened on their own. In his hand, a shining golden character had condensed, rose slowly, and then suddenly shattered.
At that moment, Gu Bei had no time to cast the spell.
Oh shit!
In a short period of time, he could only pull Miles up from behind, and then push him down in front of him. Then, he heard a muffled sound, as if something hit Miles, and a yell similar to "Fuck you".
Gu Bei didn't care how many coins there were. He immediately pulled Miles back quickly and exited the confession room.
"...Don't your conscience hurt?"
Miles clutched his shoulder, turned his head, and glared at Gu Bei with a painful expression.
"Okay, aren't you immune to these injuries?" Gu Bei shrugged and said, "But... thank you for saving me. What happened to these needles? Are you okay? The needles seem to be poisonous, you have Don’t you have any antidote?”
“…”
Miles was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pushed Gu Bei away and ran to the side to heal his injuries.
Judging from the strength he used when pushing people, Gu Bei felt that he should be fine.
Therefore, his eyes returned to Grant.
