Release that Witch Chapter 267: Destined ending
Crossing the dark corridor, taking cage lift to enter the huge hollow deep in underground, Mayne once again came to Pivotal Secret Temple.
Your Excellency O'Brien is already waiting at the door.
He looks older than last time, his eyes are sunken inwards, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes spread like a spider web across his cheeks, but his smile is still soft and full of concern. Mayne could not help sore eyes, kneeling in front of him, "Your Excellency, us"
"Get up, boy," Pope's voice was calm and calm, "I heard that you are in trouble? Come and talk in the lobby."
Today is not the day of transformation. There is no long string of star-shaped candles along the foot of the wall in the hall, and only candlesticks are placed in a few corners. The pope sat back to the main seat and took a breath, "Say, what's going on outside."
Mayne knows the responsibilities of Your Excellency O'Brien. He is not unable to know the news outside Holy City, but has no time to take care of these trivial matters, so he will set up three Archbishop to coordinate the management of teaching affairs. He should avoid bothering Your Excellency with these things as much as possible, but now he is unable to solve the troubled situation.
Mayne quickly recounted things before and after.
"Is Heather dead ..." O'Brien was silent for a long time after listening, and sighed a long time, "A keen observant, smart and pious girl, I watched her grow up slowly."
"Sorry, Your Excellency."
"The murderer is bound to be punished," the Pope nodded, "now situation is Garcia and Kingdom of Wolf Heart assist each other? Does the new poison not work?"
"It played a magical role in conquering Broken Tooth Castle. After a month of defending, all the defenders collapsed. Judgement Army quickly broke into the city, and there were almost no living people in the residential area. However, when the next attack on Wolf Heart city, poison did not seem to be up To the same effect, the resistance of the enemy is still tenacious. "Mayne reported.
"You made two mistakes," O'Brien said slowly, "the illness caused by poison will be dead within seven to ten days. You should take advantage of the first peak attack period, and then quickly treat the residents in the city, This can greatly reduce their hostility. Don't forget that we need as many people as possible, not empty cities. "
"The second point is to start working after one month. Although it can minimize the casualties, it also gives the enemy sufficient reaction time to find a way to cure the illness. The essence of the new poison is enchanted Evil Beast, according to the magic holy According to the code, there are more than 70 abilities that can restrain its infection, and more than 30 abilities can kill directly. It is not surprising that a witch of this kind appears in a city of tens of thousands. "
"You mean, they colluded with witch"
"It's time for life and death, who cares if they are the minions of Devil," said the pope calmly. "Whether the witch came out on its own initiative or was reported to have to cure the epidemic, Church It's not good news. If they can really stop the momentum of our attack, the reputation of witch in Wolf Heart will inevitably undergo a subversive change, and even ... be regarded as Hero. "
"It's all my fault," Mayne lowered his head in pain.
"It was a mistake, but it was not serious. You also formulated this strategy in order to reduce the loss of Judgement Army and God Punishment Army." O'Brien knocked his shoulder with a scepter. "And Greycastle Third Princess and Wolf King are brought together in one place. , Is also an opportunity for us. "
"Opportunity ... will?" Bishop startled.
"Yes, the chance to wipe them all away," O'Brien stood up, "you follow me."
Under the guidance of the escort, Mayne followed the pope out of Pivotal Secret Institution and slowly walked deep into the cave. The huge God Punishment Stone emits a dim light, gradually illuminating the road under everyone's feet, the light is getting darker and darker, Mayne can't help looking back, I saw Pivotal Secret Temple and God stone have been thrown far behind, at this time the guards were also ignited Torches to avoid tripping over the gravel on the ground.
"Where are we ... where?"
"It's here, child," Your Excellency O'Brien stopped, breathing seemed a little quick, "whee ... people are old, so it's so laborious to point the way ..."
A guard stepped forward to support him, "Your Excellency, let me carry you."
"It's okay, just rest," he stood for a while, then ordered, "light up the brazier."
The bishop then noticed that there were several towering iron frames standing next to the stone road. It would be difficult for ordinary people to find these hidden metal creations if the guards holding torches were close to them. The guard climbed up the shelf along the escalator, lit the turpentine basin at the top, and a few dazzling flames suddenly sprayed out. Mayne squinted his eyes first, and after looking at the changes in the light, he looked forward.
In the swaying fire, a dusty canvas appeared in front of everyone, and it was raised high, apparently covered with a behemoth underneath.
"I originally planned to wait until the last two years to come up against the increasingly fierce Evil Beast, but now it seems that I have to let it start in advance." O'Brien waved his hand, "Reveal the cloth."
"This is ..." As the canvas fell, Mayne couldn't believe his eyes for a while. It was a huge four-wheeled iron car, with a single wheel higher than its own size. It has no carriages, only horrible metal impact angles and animal bone brackets. A barbed bone shield is placed in the center of the bracket, which is as large as three or four door panels. Two straight pointed irons, one left and one right, protrude from the openings on the shield and point straight forward, as if sharp arrows are ready to go. On both sides of the iron car, there are dozens of such iron rods, each with its own thigh thickness, reflecting a faint metallic luster under the brazier.
"It is named Siege Beast in the Holy Code." The pope walked to the iron car and patted a solid iron rod. "It can only be started by magic power, and it needs three or four witch to make it run normally. The attack range of Siege Beast is much longer than that of trebuchets and crossbows. The general city walls are difficult to resist the damage of iron arrows. The sailboats made by giant wood are like thin paper in front of it. Whether it is destroying the strong wall of Wolf Heart city or blocking the advance of Blacksail fleet , It ’s a breeze for it. "
"This ... is also weapon developed by Pivotal Secret Temple?"
"No," O'Brien shook his head. "You should be able to guess that it comes from Devil in our enemy's abyss. This is why Church hides Siege Beast deep in the cave. Remember, when you use When it is, be sure to hide the whereabouts as much as possible, so that civilians do not see it.
"I see." Mayne bowed his head.
Why can weapon of Devil be manipulated by witch? Do they have the same magic power as humans? He suppressed the doubt in his heart and did not continue to ask. Obviously, these things will not be qualified to understand until they become the new pope.
"In addition, in order to prevent Garcia and Wolf King from escaping again, I will send two Pure Ones to assist you in combat." The pope said, "No one can escape hunting from them ... go, use these blasphemers The blood is Heather. "
Pure One of His Excellency the Pope! He was shocked. witch, which was raised and survived by Church, was called Pure One, but Her Majesty's witch was the strongest one selected. His ability was not even recorded in the magic scripture, and Heather, Tayfun It's completely different from those under your control! Now that Your Excellency himself said that he could not escape, the end of the two was already doomed.
"As you bid, Your Excellency." Mayne answered excitedly. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
