Blood of Mercury - v3 Chapter 50

An army of demons came up from the ground to fight against Saint Laurent.

One can only understand so much about the dramatic changes that have taken place in the holy city of Frankfurt.

At least one thing was different from what the professor thought, that is, the news of the fall of the Holy City did not destroy the will of the people of the Saint Laurent Empire. Because they are not like sectarians in the usual sense, but loyal and fanatical Roland’s personal admirers.

From the time they began to believe in Roland, the idea of ​​​​doubting Roland would never appear in their hearts again.

After realizing the threat of the enemy, the priests and bishops scattered all over the Saint Laurent Empire abandoned their affairs. Organized spontaneously, the imperial capital of the Saint Laurent Empire gathered.

This disaster even alarmed Queen Ivana.

In the early morning of the second day after the fall of the holy city of Frankfurt, Ivana called the army, bluntly stated the threat of this incident, and ordered them to start preparing for war.

Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. They did not delay as usual, but conveyed Ivana’s order without hesitation. And supervise them to start executing immediately.

From the founding of Banza until the current Saint Laurent Empire, they have never faced such a terrible disaster once.

Taking a step back, even excluding the religious aspect is enough of a catastrophe.

You must know that the holy city of Frankfurt is not far from the imperial capital, only less than a day’s journey. If you take a fast horse, you can even arrive in about three hours.

And the enemy, who was tentatively defined as a demon, probably used some kind of terrible plague or curse, and had the ability to make those who had just killed stand up and fight again. People who are resurrected by this evil means have almost all the abilities they had before they were alive, and at the same time they have an extremely troublesome undead body that is almost impossible to kill.

More importantly, this method is extremely stealthy, quick and deadly.

Even if the enemy happened to be stuck in the Holy City when Saint Laurent, Gahalard, Claudia and others were not around, Frankfurt should theoretically still have three or four cardinals in the dome cathedral.

But in fact, until the Holy City was completely occupied, no one knew that someone had invaded. Even now, Ivana got the news from the defenders in the east.

Until now, no one knew who the devil was, what he looked like, or how many people there were. They just know that the demon has a very strong purpose.

Ivana was extremely convinced that if the demon chose to target the imperial capital at the beginning, I am afraid that she would not have the possibility of escaping. But he not only chose Frankfurt as the target, but after turning everyone in Frankfurt into a terrifying monster that resembles the undead, he has no idea of ​​going west to occupy the imperial capital, but very urgently going east. march.

Ivana is constantly receiving messages from wizards on the front lines. In just half a day’s effort, those monsters had already run a sixth of the distance of the Saint Laurent Empire. At this speed, before the sun rises the next day, 80% of them will be able to rush to the territory of the Principality of Saya.

In the face of such a situation, Ivana did not act rashly.

Now that several great sages have not returned to Banza, Banza’s top combat power is not high. Those ghasts who are captured and used by demons’ magic and cannot be killed by mortal swords are far stronger than those who were born.

Although Frankfurt was quite empty at the time, as a holy city, it also had a large number of professionals. It can even be said that the proportion of professionals among them is incredibly high.

If you challenge them without a plan, the final result will only be to increase the strength of the enemy.

After realizing this, not only the military of the Saint Laurent Empire, but even those believers who returned from all over the empire spontaneously avoided the route of the enemy’s advance. As a result, the devastating army traveled east without any resistance. Apart from the fact that the villages and towns at the beginning could not be smashed and engulfed by this terrifying legion, the casualty rate of the following towns was basically not more than one tenth under the emergency evacuation.

However, these monsters have no idea of ​​stopping. They will ruthlessly kill all life that appears in their field of vision. But on the contrary, as long as they are not seen in the first place, they will not search for these people at all.

It’s almost like a golem that mechanically executes the order of “kill everyone it encounters”.

For half a day, the empire was running at full speed with unprecedented tension, and it didn’t improve a little until dusk.

Because the two cardinals Gahalad and Cyla, as well as Saint Claudia, finally returned to the Empire.

With them came a group of fully armed holy warriors.

They wore the formal attire of the clergy, with pure white cloaks over their robes, and the cloaks were branded with the emblem of goodness.

The long-handled scepter was tightly entangled by thorn-like chains, and the chains spread out like wings on both sides of the scepter. At the tip of the scepter, it is like Roland’s scepter, with a slender cross-like decoration.

Above the scepter, there is a mysterious eye-like pattern suspended ~www.mtlnovel.com~, which is wrapped in a concentric ring surrounded by chains that spread out to both sides.

It was the emblem of the Three Saints, and with the scepter symbolizing Roland, their identities were self-evident.

That is Saint Laurent’s believers – those who carry out the ritual of the three saints, believe in the truth of the world, and keep Roland’s “Commandments”.

They echoed with the huge divine grace visible to the naked eye. The looming silver-white ripples fluttered behind them like ribbons, forming ripples like water waves.

They are both Roland’s knights and Roland’s priests.

If you use the words in the game to describe it, the Watchman is equivalent to a silver-level advanced class transfer. It has the characteristics and magic of some of the mourners, and it is not as weak as the mourners in melee combat.

However, in return, they must obey Roland’s commandments at all times and not violate them. Failure to do so will result in the loss of all Watcher levels on the third violation.

It can be said that this is an army composed entirely of Roland’s fanatics.

Even if the Holy Land was occupied by demons, there was no despair in their eyes. Only the burning anger burned in their eyes.

How terrifying the enemy is has nothing to do with them.

Rather, if the enemy is too powerful, it will make them feel honored.

They are only Saint Laurent’s sword, Saint Laurent’s shield, his tongue, his disciples. The meaning of life is to protect Roland’s glory.

The moment Ivana saw them from the high platform, she knew what was going to happen next.

– Holy war. They desperately needed a holy war to appease their raging souls.

She had smelled it, and the smell that had excited her but hadn’t tasted in years echoed in the air.

It was the smell of war coming–
