Ember Gun - Chapter 704

Chapter 704 Doomsday

At the end of the world, it was really a thrilling and extraordinary journey. Between the extreme cold and surrounding erosion, the tattered Chenhui Advance was struggling to crush the ice, break through the cold water, and head on the way home.

Thinking back to everything he had experienced, a faint fear echoed in the heart of every survivor. At that time, they on the boat could not do anything, just like a group of prey falling into a trap, waiting for the arrival of death.

Continuous battles decayed the armor of the hull, and the main structure was also affected. It was like a dangerous building. No one knows when this big ship will disintegrate and teeter.

In order to get out of the ice sea, all energy is supplied to the power cabin. Most of the cabins were also attacked by demons and blocked and isolated. The remaining people could only concentrate in the cold room and use the only ones. Resources continue to survive.

They hugged each other, shivering, enduring the cold and erosion, and the roar that came from the depths of the cabin in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, they did it in the end. The Chenhui Advance returned to the harbor, and these poor people were able to return to the civilized world.

“That was a terrible experience.”

Shrike looked at this familiar old friend and said softly.

Because of the serious injury, he did not have much memory when he returned. In the words of Lan Jade, the Shrike was in a coma most of the time. Will breathe a few times in pain.

“What have you experienced?”

Kestrel was a little curious. Although he later heard these survivors talk about the experience of Jihai, he had never experienced it personally after all. There is always a thick barrier between illusion and reality.

“You don’t want to experience it, Kestrel.”

Shrike sincerely.

He is not joking. After being saved, most of the survivors have suffered from various degrees of mental illness after being checked by the Black Mountain Hospital. There are also some people who have suffered some mental illnesses due to prolonged exposure to erosion. Irreversible impact.

As for the dead, there are countless people. The bodies of many people sank into the cold ocean with the demons. Only the cold gray nameplate was brought back, indicating that this person had ever existed.

The atmosphere was slightly depressed, and the Kestrel did not ask any more questions. Although he had a big heart, he was also a member of the Elimination Organization. He was also a high-ranking knight who was born and died. He knew that some things could be jokes, some could not, and even said. It shouldn’t be mentioned.

People can’t remember everything accurately. It’s not so much the inability to remember, but the self-optimization of the human brain to forget all the bad, boring, sad, etc., and sweep them into the dust.

Thinking of this, Kestrel couldn’t help feeling a little sad for Herkelly. This guy seemed to be unable to forget all of this. Beautiful things would become very real in his eyes. The same is true of those nightmares.

【The Well of Sublimation is restless, and the erosion intensity of the entire area is constantly rising, just like the sea of ​​silence. 】

Suddenly a voice rang in people’s minds, and Watson spoke without warning.

Others did not have much reaction, but they were somewhat uncomfortable and resistant to this sudden sound.

Think about it, among you, there is a ghost that can easily invade your mind. Not only can she talk endlessly in your mind, but she can also directly strip your memory and expose all your secrets to the sun.

No one likes this.

【The population in the place of seven hills has been evacuated, but they have not been evacuated too far, but wandering outside the city of the place of seven hills and the surrounding feilencui. 】

Wason narrated to himself, there was silence in the carriage, but the voices in his mind continued.

【Felengcui is the most densely populated city in the Holy Gospel Papal Kingdom. Once the erosion and expansion into Feilencui, the entire city will fall into crisis.

On the night of the Holy Prophet, the erosion was controlled in the stagnant temple, and it did not cause much harm. This time, once the erosion spreads to Fei Lengcui, we may face the most serious monster in history. event.

The whole city will be plunged into hell. 】

Following what Watson said, a blazing fire flashed in front of everyone’s eyes. The magnificent city was like charred rotten wood, and it collapsed little by little in the crimson.

“We were already late when we set off, so when we arrived at Feilengcui, it might have become the worst situation there.”

At this time Merlin also explained.

“Although the Chenhui Advance can still operate, it is only capable of transporting the Dawn. We are not able to grab a landing site. We can only rely on the Dawn to take off and pass the burning emerald from high altitude. , Go straight to the place of Qiqiu.”

“Then airborne from above the Cathedral of Saint Nalo? Like an air cavalry.”

Lorenzo asked, this unit that relies on the war airship extended, even if it sounds like it is now, it is very dreamy.

“Well, we will be divided into two groups.” Merlin continued.

“Split in two ways?” Lorenzo questioned.

“If Feilengcui has fallen, the erosion intensity in the Seven Hills will probably be terrifying. Lorenzo, not everyone has the ability to face all of this. Such a hastily parachuting is just dying.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“Make a two-handed plan. The elite team led by you will drop directly into the Seven Hills and try to destroy the well of sublimation. Those of us who cannot face the darkness will try to control the expansion of erosion.”

Speaking of this, Merlin was very helpless. So far, mankind still has no means to completely resist erosion. Most mortals are in the erosion of that intensity, and their lives have begun to countdown.

“After all, once you fail, we will face the most terrifying monster wave in history,” Merlin expressed his worries. “Don’t blame me for lack of confidence. Make all the bad plans. That is the original appearance of the war.”

“We are responsible for destroying the well of sublimation, and you are responsible for controlling the erosion of proliferation.”

Lorenzo repeated Merlin’s words aside.

Merlin nodded, then sighed.

“In fact, it’s control, and it’s just trying our best to hunt down monsters. The Sailing Dawn can’t carry too many people and weapons. No matter how we bomb the ground, it will be difficult to kill them all… We can only say that we are doing our best. NS.”

“Then have you ever thought about what happened after our failure?” Lorenzo asked suddenly, “If the elite I brought, and even myself, died in the Cathedral of San Nalo, the expansion of erosion cannot Stop it, and the war with the demons broke out again…”

Gradually, Lorenzo himself fell silent, and he couldn’t help but think of the scroll that seemed to be the last day.

Endless monsters devoured one city after another, turning into a scarlet ocean, expanding wildly.

Unconsciously, everything Lawrence predicted is gradually becoming reality, and slipping in the direction of a nightmare.

“I haven’t thought about it. To be precise, I can’t even think about it.” Merlin looked a little tired, and then worked hard to show a stiff smile. “This kind of thing is too strange to us. Suddenly we have become heroes of salvation. , Of course, can it be saved or not.”

At this time, the armed iron snake slowly stopped, the door opened, and the cold sea breeze rushed into the compartment, sweeping away the sultry heat and silence.

Stepping out of the carriage, the vast world came into view. The transformed Chenhui Advance was floating quietly on the surface of the sea. In the huge steel bird’s nest above, the falling shadows cut off the war airship’s posture. Peeped into its broken figure.

“But I have come to this point, and there is no turning back, right?”

Merlin stood beside Lorenzo and whispered to him.

Lorenzo did not respond, just looking ahead, not far away, Arthur had already been waiting here.

Take a step, move forward, and embark on the final voyage.

……

Sleepy, hungry, and cold, swelling and pain spread all over the body, and the sensation is constantly numb.

He hasn’t had such a bad experience for a long time. I remember the last time he was doing this, and he was still performing a mission in Inervig. Samuel remembered that he was hunting an exiled cardinal, and he encountered the mysterious Loren there. Zo Holmes.

It was really a terrible battle. The successive heavy wounds almost killed him. Fortunately, he possessed the power of immortality and strong vitality, which allowed Samuel to survive that predicament.

He still remembered how he looked when he climbed out of the cellar. As the secret blood calmed down, his injuries were gradually exposed. He fell in the soft grass and fields, wrapped in a hazy drizzle.

“That’s really a nice view.”

He missed in a low voice.

Every time he uses his power and climbs back from the edge of death, Samuel has a feeling of rebirth.

In fact, from a physical point of view, he is indeed regaining a new life. The old flesh and blood are removed, and the new flesh and blood are growing wildly.

He leaned in a dark corner with a gap in front of him, and the gap revealed light, hitting Samuel, turning into a narrow band of light, splitting his head, and passing over his left eye. , Extends all the way to the ground.

In a daze, he saw the hazy drizzle and the delicate green grass again in the light. They grew on the fertile soil and continued to spread until the end of his sight…

Samuel stretched out his hand and tried to grab it, and then he pushed open the door. The light became stronger for an instant, covering him completely, but after the bright light, he could not reach the dream. The ground, but in the bright corridor, it seems that everything just now is his imagination.

Yes, it’s just a conjecture.

Samuel stumbled and leaned back, and finally sat on the bed, bowed his head, eyes horrified.

This is the third day he has escaped from the Seven Hills. In the past three days, the Seven Hills has been completely enclosed, and the high-intensity erosion has enveloped it, and no one dared to approach it.

People can only see the burning fire in the city, the buildings that collapsed in the fire one after another, and the roar like a demon.

The Templar knights are stationed outside the city, but this series of nightmares has caused a little shake for them who have not yet started the war. Everyone has fear in their hearts, even Samuel is no exception.

“Go away.”

He cursed bitterly and scratched his ears, but the soft voice of the woman lingering in his ears, he still refused to stop.

Samuel didn’t know what she was singing, but those words of unknown meaning came into her ears, as if some vicious curse, and those who listened to it would be captured by extremely dark hatred.

Under the influence of this kind of treacherous force, he cannot fall asleep completely, and the drowsy state will cause hallucinations, which will continue to affect his will.

Change to ordinary people. At this time, they must have been tortured and go crazy, but Samuel still maintains a certain sense of reason, relying on the ability of the demon hunter to fight against it.

He slowed down for a while, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and walked to the side and opened the window.

The scenery of Fei Lengcui came into view. Under the night, the dazzling fire light easily took away Samuel’s attention. He raised his head and looked at the familiar but unfamiliar place.

The place of seven hills.

You can clearly observe the place of Qiqiu from here. Even now, the fire in the city has not been extinguished. They continue to burn, turning the entire city into a torch in the dark, burning blazingly.

Nearby were the templar knights stationed. Looking at the close-up view, the streets of Fei Lengcui were overcrowded in the middle of the night. Everyone was in groups, and under the command of the templar knights, they evacuated to more surrounding areas.

Seeing this, a strange emotion emerged in Samuel’s heart.

Fortunately, the people in the emerald are not so fanatical in their beliefs. Under the intrusion of nightmares and the raging fire, most of them have accepted the order to evacuate. This is especially true for the wealthy businessmen and gentry, in order to obtain Asylum of the Templar knights, they even took the initiative to help coordinate.

But in this city, there are still many people who refuse to leave for various reasons, but the Templar knights don’t have time to pay attention to these people, and they are not even prepared to say anything to persuade them.

The soldiers in the city were also mobilized. Holding their weapons, they took to the streets and patrolled with other Templar knights. Everyone was standing guard, as if a potential war was about to break out.

This is an order from Samuel. After arriving at Fei Lengcui, he contacted the head of the local Templar Knights and ordered them to protect themselves in the name of the Pope.

Samuel didn’t know how long the place of the seven hills could be kept, but he knew that once the erosion expanded to Feilengcui, the only ones who could stand against them were these mortal Templar knights.

As the only demon hunter at present, Samuel must make good use of all this to be worthy of the sacrifice of the demon hunter, and do his best to slow down the pace of disaster.

Then… and then wait for the illusory reinforcements?

Samuel thought for a while and shook this idea out of his head. He didn’t think there would be any support at this time. The end is now advancing on this land. All they can do is to slow down the arrival of death. .
