The Holy War (23)

There was a lightning winding in the purple black sky, and the clouds were boiling like porridge. Suddenly, a red dot appeared in the center like a stone hitting water, a red circle rippled out half a mile in diameter.

A soft bzzt sounded.

“Brendel, this is…” Orthylss carefully spoke.

“I know.” Brendel expressionlessly observed the scene.

The soldiers beside the princess in the forest had finally noticed the change above their heads. They stiffly raised their heads and saw a huge shadow appearing under the red circle.

It was a battles.h.i.+p.

A huge s.h.i.+p with a four-layered gun-deck and a towering stern was slowly revealing itself from the shadow. On its side, three smaller red circles spread out in turn and three miniature frigates appeared in the storm.

The twelve red dots flashed in the sky. Knights in golden red attire holding long flaming swords formed a circle around the fleet.

“It’s the Holy Cathedral of Fire!”

“The fleet of the Holy Cathedral of Fire!”

The sudden appearance of the unknown army had affected the whole battlefield. Even Adega could not help but raise its huge head and look at the unexpected guests who suddenly broke into the air. Then the soldiers of the Northern Coalition Army also lowered their weapons one after another and looked up.

More and more red dots flashed in the storm like dancing red b.u.t.terflies. Every time a red light flashed, a fully armored knight riding on a silver Pegasus appeared.

Then a wider red dot spread out miles away in the sky. The light spread out and a huge group of warrior monks appeared halfway up the sky. Each warrior monk had flaming wings on their back just like golden angels.

There was a moment of silence on the battlefield.

“The s.h.i.+p’s figurehead is in the shape of the Flame G.o.ddess. It has thirteen wind sails, four-layer gun-decks, 110 artillery.” Brendel could not help but shake his head when he saw the scene before of him.

Ash cla.s.s’s first-cla.s.s battles.h.i.+p, Pelan.

Paladin Squad.

The subordinates of the Holy Cathedral of Fire were armed and were called the “Staff of Flames”.

The thirteen teal coloured sails spread out like a pile of teal clouds in the rainstorm. The giant s.h.i.+p in the middle of the sky was slowly turning.

The half naked G.o.ddess was glittering in the storm. It was the s.h.i.+p’s figurehead of the Flame G.o.ddess.

The four battles.h.i.+ps turned round in sequence with one side of the s.h.i.+pboard aimed at the Elemental Storm, Adega.

Adega had been sleeping for nearly a thousand years. It had never seen such a thing a thousand years ago and it was at this moment that it became keenly aware of the great danger that surrounded itself.

The wind carried the call of the Kirrlutz.

“Mages, standby!”

“Open the gun port!”

in the next moment, the four battles.h.i.+ps shook vigorously at once. Then one side suddenly shot out several flashes of fire. “Ah!” Before anyone could react, Adega the Rager uttered a scream that shook the whole world.

A bright explosion suddenly lit up the night sky.

The Kirrlutz used up all their firepower against this huge monster. The more advanced Magic Power and Disintegrated Crystal in this era had yet to be used and the power of the old-fas.h.i.+oned magic canons designed by the Hazel people was far from enough to pose a real threat towards the Elemental Storm. But the intense pain had caused Adega the Rager to subconsciously raise his head.

It was at that moment.

Eleven Paladins raised their swords at the same time, aiming at Adega’s throat. Eleven golden flames extended from the flame swords in their hands. Instantly, Adega was pierced through. The monster was pinned to the ground by those eleven golden swords.

Compared to the flashy firepower of the previous four wars.h.i.+ps, this was practically fatal for Adega. It would not dare to fight against eleven Element Activation masters even during normal times, much less during a critical moment.

Adega let out a miserable howling. The lightning in its body was flas.h.i.+ng and its body became so bright that it was frightening. It seemed like it could collapse at any time. But this monster was the number one BOSS in the previous version of The Amber Sword. Even if it was seriously injured, it would not die immediately. Instead, it’s ferocity was raised and it fought back by sweeping its huge palm in the air.

The Elemental Storm was huge. Its palm attack almost covered half of the aerial battlefield. The eleven Paladins did not dare to go against it and quickly scattered. But the three frigates behind them were not so lucky.

One of them was directly swept away by Adega. The teal colour protective cover had turned into white light just after it managed to light up. It was shattered and swept away from midair into the distant hills by Adega’s slap.

After a few seconds, a bright fireball rose from that direction.

Just right at this moment.

The thick clouds in the sky s.h.i.+fted. The clouds seemed to move towards the same direction and converge in a whirlpool. In the middle of the whirlpool, a golden red light shone brightly. Bang! A red beam of light dropped down from the sky. It was like a red sword stabbing towards the top of Adega’s head. In an instant, it was pierced through and nailed to the ground.

The storm in the middle of the battlefield suddenly froze.

There was a faint sigh from within the wind and rain. Then in the blink of an eye, countless lightning bolts spread out from Adega’s body and it scattered along with its body, turning into clouds and dispersing into the storm.

Only then did everyone on the battlefield see a tall knight in a long cloak appear in the clouds. The tall knight then pulled out his sword in a flash of lightning.

That was Williams the Golden Flame Sword, the deputy head of the Paladin Squad.

The Northern Coalition Army abruptly gave a shout of joy.

Everyone was shocked.

The deputy head of the Paladin Squad, Williams the Golden Sword, calmly looked at the ant-sized people on the ground. There was no extra expression on his face, only a few Gold Lines of Laws surrounding his long cloak, turning his eyes gold.

He held a longsword and looked down. The rain didn’t enter within three feet of him before turning into white smoke and then merging back into the rain around him.

He did not speak a word.

The ground also soon fell silent. After the Elemental Storm Adega had dissipated, there was only a patch of embers left on the ground from the explosion. Those small Elemental Winds also scattered and escaped, no one would try to retain them.

Williams quickly saw the young lady in a silver dress in the forest.

Princess Gryphine also saw him. The young woman stood in the middle of rain, her face was pale and her silver eyes reflected the rain. But inside a blazing fire burned brighter.

At that moment, Williams felt as if he had seen those bright eyes again. He shook his head and laughed at himself.

“Little Princess, I will give you a chance to lead your men out and surrender. I can spare you all from death.” Williams spoke softly but his voice seemed to spread throughout the entire battlefield and everyone was able to hear it clearly.

“How could you do this?” Princess Gryphine clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “The oath you made in front of the Covenant of the G.o.ds, what was it? You said you will treat every country under the Holy Cathedral equally. But today, all I can see is the Holy Cathedral of Fire that belongs to the Kirrlutz…”

“On the day the Holy Cathedral of Fire betrays everyone, aren’t you afraid of being betrayed by everyone too?”

Brendel saw her hands were shaking.
