Ember Gun - Chapter 683
Chapter 683 Riots
Still Temple once again fell into a long-lost peace, but what was surging under this calm was unknown and disaster.
The new pope held his sword, stepped back a little bit, and finally sat weakly on the steps, looking at the deep well head with vigilant eyes.
He raised the nail sword with a trembling hand. The new pope stared at the blade and tried to stop it from trembling slightly, but he couldn’t. Under the pressure of his will, his body was no longer as sensitive as before. Now it is dull and dull. After a long time, the trembling blade gradually stabilized.
“I… can’t hold it anymore?”
He muttered to himself with some doubts.
Unlike Lawrence Lorenzo and others, the new pope is just an ordinary demon hunter. The only special feature is that he is named a sacred angel and resists the influence of erosion with his own willpower. , From the night of Shenglin to the present day.
He has no proof of sublimation. As the erosion intensifies, he will only fall into a deeper and deeper vortex, unable to extricate himself.
Once independently resisted the influence of erosion on him, it was enough to make the new pope a headache, but now he ushered in another bigger trouble.
Those monsters from underground.
When did it become like this, the new pope is not clear, but he guessed that it might be after Allend and Roger were resolved by the decontamination agency.
As these two are closest to the end of sublimation, the most likely to become “roads” after their death, the well of sublimation that has calmed the endless time has a rare agitation.
The new pope didn’t know if it was a so-called “restlessness”. After Old Dunling’s letter, he knew what was being held in the well, the new pope never went deep into the well.
But he could clearly feel that the strength of erosion was slowly increasing under the sublimation well cast by Holy Silver. They were like scattered mist, gathering in the well, trying to climb out of the well little by little, silently.
Now the power in it has not fully regained, but the whole place of the seven hills has been obviously affected by it. The believers in the city have fallen into nightmares. Some people can’t even sleep. They still stubbornly sing the faith, but The new pope knew that this was just in vain.
The once glorious faith can’t save anyone. It’s better to hold on to a sharp sword than to put your hands together in prayer.
This is the end? still is……
The new pope’s heart is entangled. Even now, he does not know whether the evangelical church can continue in history. With the advancement of technology, ignorant beliefs are being dragged into the shadows little by little.
He didn’t really care about this. The new church may have had faith, but all of this disappeared with the eruption of Holy Night.
But now, he has not the courage to announce all this to believers. Even if the faith is really ended, he guessed it will take decades or even hundreds of years. After all, this faith is so deeply rooted.
The new pope believes that if he destroys all this, what he will get is not the withdrawal of faith in history, but the madness of another group of people. They will regard themselves as heretics and yell that the pope will be bewitched by the devil and they will destroy the former church. , Establish your own kingdom of heaven.
is like Orthodox Church.
He stopped thinking about this kind of thing, the new pope temporarily did not understand, let alone there are more important things right now.
The Well of Sublimation.
The new pope can hardly imagine the day when the power in the well is completely awakened. This may be the second holy night.
“But why, do you wake up at this time?”
The new pope is very puzzled.
At the beginning, Lorenzo directly confided all the secrets to him in order to speak to the new pope. Whether it was the guardian or the devil in the well, all this appeared in the eyes of the new pope.
So he also knows that under the Well of Ascension, the unspeakable person who was severely injured at the beginning is imprisoned, but in the following time, it has remained silent, like dead, until a few days ago…
Is it because the “road” was eradicated?
The new pope suddenly thought of this, the unspeakable just fell asleep, but such a terrifying existence can interfere with the world just by dreaming.
It is the embodiment of disorder and chaos. The sole purpose of existence is to continuously sublimate and expand.
In order to accomplish this purpose, it can even generate so-called “sensibility” between disorder and chaos to perform all of this.
Perhaps there was a reason for the existence of the “road” before. Sooner or later, it will be completely out of trouble, as long as it hibernates in the dark, but now the “road” has been eradicated, and mankind has also retrieved the last [Final Echo], ready to be right It carries on the final exile.
So it can’t help it anymore, it’s restless, trying to rush out of the cage.
“Another Holy Night.”
The new pope commented this way, probably because he had experienced it once. This time, he did not fear too much, but had a calm emotion.
He was not bewitched by the unspeakable, because the new pope still kept his mission in mind.
This is a final battle destined to come, and if it is won, all these evils will be ended.
He is looking forward to the world after the end of sin, although he is not sure if he still has a chance to see it.
But every time he thinks of this, the new pope feels that the pressure in his heart has become a lot easier, and even the sharp pain in his mind has weakened a bit.
“Under the crown.”
There was a sound from the deep darkness, followed by the sound of crisp footsteps constantly approaching.
Anthony is back, and currently only he is allowed to approach here.
”The believers are evacuating in an orderly manner. About two days later, most of the believers will be evacuated. However, in addition to these, some people are stubbornly resisting and even clashed with the soldiers.”
Anthony said with a little helplessness. The strong faith has become their **** at this moment. These stubborn believers would rather die than surrender and say nothing to leave this great holy city.
“Is that so? Then use force. If force is not enough, kill them all.”
In the face of the most devout believers, the new pope uttered cruel words.
“Assuming… Assuming that I am right, once the monster in the well climbs up, even if a small amount of power spreads, it will turn the city into hell, and those devout believers will alienate into powerful monsters.”
The new pope slowly got up and stood up again.
”This is the place of the seven hills. We have nowhere to run, but to fight.”
“Okay, I see.” Anthony didn’t ask much, but faithfully executed the orders.
“Also, if the Knights of the Templar encircle the city, they cannot confront the erosion head-on. All they can do is stop the escaped and sporadic monsters.”
This plan is so familiar, it’s like another holy night.
“And within this holy city, all the demon hunters will gather here to welcome the enemy’s arrival.”
The new pope plans everything.
”Where are the guests from afar? Will they really come?”
Anthony asked uncertainly. Although he didn’t want to say that, he still had to admit that today’s evangelical church has fallen, and after the reorganization of the hunting sect, it will hardly have the glory of the past.
Not to mention that these demon hunters are only able to fight against demons. They are still helpless in the face of the unspeakable.
The current hope seems to really fall on the other two forces, one is the mysterious Lawrence, and the other is Lorenzo, who has proven capable of destroying it all.
“They have to come, as I said, all the demon hunters will gather here.”
The new pope is very sure.
”This is the beginning of everything, and it will be the end of everything.”
Under the dark wellhead, something seemed to be creeping in the endless darkness, and the sound of gusts of wind sounded, light as if it were ridicule from the depths of the darkness.
The two fell into a long silence, until the faint swords, halberds and guns sounded.
“What’s wrong?” the new pope asked.
“I don’t know, I will check it out!”
Anthony turned and left after speaking. The new pope needed to stay here. He could not leave. It can be said that he left the Silent Temple and everything was handled by Anthony.
He is fast. In the current situation, no accidents are allowed. Outside the Cathedral of San Nalo, the Templars waved their swords and berated the crowd approaching, but the crowd was not panicked, but rather excited.
“The devil has taken over the sacredness! That’s why I made such an ignorant decision!”
Some mad believers shouted that they did not want to leave the holy city. Under persecution, they fell into madness.
The Templar knight drove his horse and swung his sword, and the crowd squeezed over and surrounded him.
”This is the place of seven hills, a great sacred city, and we will never succumb to evil.”
They continued their crazy talk.
may be extreme to crazy beliefs, or it may be the infestation of nightmares for many days. Under the influence of erosion, people’s thoughts begin to be extreme and crazy until they commit atrocities.
The first hand stretched out from the crowd and grabbed the Templar knight on horseback. Before he could react, more hands grabbed him and pulled him off the horseback.
“For the crown!”
Someone chanted.
“For the Holy City!”
Their voices were distorted into howls like wild beasts.
In panic, the Templar knight swung his sword, but was soon buried by the crowd that came up. After a low roar and wailing, it disappeared completely, leaving only a spot of blood and pieces of meat.
The templar knights in the distance saw this, and they couldn’t help but grimaced and felt a great deal of pressure.
The mad believers came slowly towards the Cathedral of Saint Nalo with blood stains on their faces. They were all the most pious ascetics in the holy city in ragged clothes. The current drive away was the collapse of their faith.
The Templar knights faced this fanatical believer, and they rarely had fear in their hearts.
The believers have always respected the Templar knights, but now they are standing on the opposite side, and their awe has turned into anger against the pagans.
“Stop them!”
I don’t know which templar knight screamed, the next moment the other guarding templar knights lifted up the exquisite guns beside them as if they had recovered.
Nowadays, the sword blade is just a status symbol. The real killer is these cold firearms.
The first round of warning shots sounded, but no one stopped. They looked hideous, like evil spirits.
The second round of gunfire sounded. This time the Templars simply opened fire on the crowd. The bullets poured down a group of people, but soon another group of people stepped forward and passed the corpse.
No one thought that the first gun shot in the holy city would explode like this.
With the firepower of the Templar knights, it is enough to guard the Cathedral of San Nalo, but what they worry about is not this, but once the commotion spreads, the whole city may enter a riot.
The believers in the seven hills are the most pious group among the gospel churches, and the so-called “piety” will be the most “crazy” when necessary.
Under the successive nightmares, no one knows what these fanatics will do, or even say…
The templar knights looked at the colleagues who fired at him. Those who can become templars are themselves the most devout believers, so will they have the same extreme existence?
Yes, even if it is extreme, it is reasonable, isn’t it? This sudden nightmare, the new Pope’s unknown instructions, so brutally and forcefully let the believers leave the holy city.
It’s not so much an evacuation, it’s a deportation.
It stands to reason that it would not be like this…
Will…Will it really be as they say, the devil invaded the holy city, it bewitched the crown.
Thinking about this, the Templar slowly lowered the muzzle. He followed the darkness in his heart, almost touching its edge…
“Don’t stop, perform your duties.”
Leng Che’s voice called the Templar knight back to reality. He looked to his side and saw Anthony stepping down the stairs.
He has a dark face, like a cold sword.
The cold breath made the Templar knight follow his orders and pull the trigger.
Anthony came from the Templar Knights. He also has a high prestige in the Templar Knights. His arrival has somewhat stabilized the military spirit.
Continuous quarrels and riots, with the Cathedral of San Nalo as the origin, such disasters are gradually spreading.
There was a burst of gunfire in the holy city.
Anthony was not panicked, everything was as expected, but he didn’t expect it all to come so quickly.
The monsters in the well are about to move, and the gunshots here are like breaking the string that maintains the sanity of the fanatics. They are plunged into hysterical madness, and they are used from all sides to try to attack the Cathedral of San Nalo.
Seeing this frenzied and ferocious all, Anthony couldn’t help but think of that night again.
The night named Shenglin Night, and the demon hunter who died before his eyes.
“What is faith? Some unpredictable force, or a tool to manipulate the human heart?”
He muttered in a low voice, but no one answered for his lost lamb.
Only Anthony himself can give the answer.
So Anthony chose the new pope and became his hammer. He believed that as long as he followed the new pope, one day he would find the answer to this puzzle.
Now, he is getting closer and closer to the answer, almost within reach.
