Chapter 622 (1/2)
Under the fire, the night is red!
The battle... Started suddenly.
The church Knights of Byrne Cathedral were unaware of anyone approaching; It was not until the explosion shattered the church gate that these ”guardians of the Holy Cross” woke up from their sleep. More than half of them hurried into the battle without even wearing armor, and then encountered the raiding mercenaries and heretic believers.
The trembling roar sounded in the night, and the burning Cathedral shook violently; The cult crazy believers covered by the fire roared and roared like fierce ghosts climbing out of the flames from all directions, and immediately surrounded the whole cathedral.
The guards standing guard outside the door have been ”dedicated” in the explosion. The remaining church Knights pulled out their swords and formed a thin array behind the church gate to intercept several times, or even ten times, their heretic believers.
Suddenly, the church knights were frightened and frightened by the tide of enemies; He could only resist hard and ring the bell tower of the church to ask for help.
Although there was no need to do so after the explosion
Because like the abrupt beginning, the end of the whole battle is also ”sudden”.
The church Knights without warning or even a bit of defense did not even have the space to organize and assemble. The original raid soon evolved into a one-sided Massacre... In front of several or even dozens of enemies, the single church knights had no chance to parry, and the only small group of elite assembled in a hurry was quickly ”swallowed”.
The strike of the blade turned into a dying cry, which was torn apart before it was raised;
The gushing plasma dyed the steps red, and the bones of broken arms and limbs filled the temple;
In the twinkling of an eye, the burning cathedral was full of corpses. The frightened church Knight couldn't even finish the last prayer before falling down. One ferocious figure after another stepped on his body reflected in his gray pupils.
Originally, this situation is simply impossible to happen;
According to the church's regulations, every Cathedral should have a certain number of oath Knights stationed and guarded, but the regulations and reality are always two different things - since the second generation of Holy Cross Church completely ruled the imperial faith, the number of oath Knights has greatly decreased, and the ”grand occasion” of the past will not be repeated.
Moreover, after wiping out the heretical beliefs and evil gods everywhere, the Holy Cross Church does not need to place the top military oath knights in this ”rear”... Except for a certain number of cathedrals in the imperial capital, all the others are stationed in the fortress of duanjie mountain to resist the invasion of demons from the North.
The oath Knights of the Holy Cross Church are decreasing day by day, which is no longer a gossip in the Empire, but a well-known ”secret”; In the past, the ”sword of vow” of ”holding a sword to preach scriptures” has already become a legendary hero. Only families with more than 100 years of inheritance can have some impression.
When the final resistance was torn up, heretics and mercenaries quickly degenerated from ”people” into real thugs, roaring and waving torches and weapons into every corner of the cathedral.
The sound of fighting and roaring faded away, but the sound of sword tearing flesh and blood and shrill scream continued - still in their sleep, or people who had been awakened, priests, nuns and servants... These thugs had no scruples, ferociously issued frightening laughter, and did everything they wanted to do in the sound of screams and wails.
The raging fire dyed half of Gaspar's face red; The expressionless governor Byrne looked up at the burning Cathedral, his calm eyes mixed with unknown madness.
Across the shattered gate and the charred body on the ground, Gaspar went straight to the depths; The boots under my feet hit the floor and dyed a dark red on the edge of the boots.
From time to time, the sound of fighting and scuffling came from my ears, and ferocious laughter and wailing came one after another over the church; From time to time, armed thugs passed by the governor, dragging a naked, twitching and moaning nun or priest, leaving a long blood mark on the ground.
The flower beds outside the window were completely destroyed, and the holy pool was filled with stripped naked bones;
The prayer room became a place for feasting, and the Eucharist table was full of people.
Gaspar, who was expressionless, didn't even look sideways. Without saying a word, he continued to walk deeper into the church.
At the end of the corridor, Gaspar finally stopped and looked at bishop Byrne, who was wearing a golden red noble Bishop's robe and gray eyebrows.
Gaspar nodded slightly when he saw the old man standing in front of him in shock and fear. He was already scared and his legs softened, but he still protected the ordinary wooden door behind him.
