Under the relentless and fanatical attacks of the cultists, the number of soldiers in the city of Panshi rapidly decreased. Soon, a breach was opened.
After more than ten minutes, the soldiers on the western wall were completely wiped out and the defense was completely lost.
Twenty minutes later, the soldiers on the northern wall were surrounded by cultists coming from the front and the western wall, and they were completely defeated.
Seeing the defense line starting to collapse, Bernett was also anxious.
"Has the Habsburg family arrived yet?"
Using his fighting spirit to clear the cultists rushing towards him, Bernett, covered in blood, asked the steward fighting alongside him again.
"No!"
The steward shook his head bitterly.
It has only been more than twenty minutes since then.
According to the previous estimation of the journey, it would take at least another ten minutes for the Habsburg family to arrive.
Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared in Bernett's eyes.
Ten minutes?
By then, it is feared that the people in the entire city of Panshi will be sacrificed by these insane cultists.
"The legacy of the Blake family must not be severed."
"Ande, immediately go back and gather all the family members at the east gate."
"Knight Kula, gather the soldiers with others, gather all the strength, and prepare to break out."
Unwilling to wait for death in place, Bernett decisively launched a final struggle.
Abandoning everything, they would break out of the city.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
They received the orders.
Ande immediately rushed to the Blake family to assist the remaining members of the family.
Meanwhile, the commander of the guards, Kula, was killing the attacking cultists while quickly gathering the scattered soldiers around.
However...
Those cultists of the evil gods clearly wouldn't give Bennett and the others a chance to break free.
"Stay here obediently and become sacrifices to my god!"
A large number of soldiers were seen gathering at the East Gate.
Kessler, one of the four evil god priests responsible for blocking the east side, smirked coldly and acted without hesitation.
"Blood Golems."
Only to see a sinister blood-colored light gathering in his staff.
The next second...
On the eastern city wall of Panshi City, the blood of the dead seemed to be called upon invisibly, rapidly converging together.
Eventually, they condensed into five colossal creatures over ten meters tall.
These blood golems, summoned entirely from blood magic, possessed immense strength, were impervious to physical attacks, and could continuously regenerate themselves by absorbing the surrounding blood.
Each one possessed the power of the 6th rank.
The five blood golems launched their attack together.
The scattered soldiers that Bennett and the others had gathered were instantly slaughtered as if they were cutting melons and vegetables.
The so-called breakout plan was instantly shattered.
Without a doubt, both Panshi City and the Blake family were done for.
Just as Bennett and the others were in despair...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of urgent horse hooves came from a distance.
Such a commotion instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Under the gaze of Bennett and the other evil god priests...
A group of soldiers carrying the Habs family emblem and battle flags appeared before everyone's eyes.
The person leading them was none other than Rennes.
"The reinforcements from the Habs family have arrived."
"We are saved."
Bennett and the others' faces were filled with joy.
And the evil priests are just the opposite.
Seeing unexpected guests from the opposing camp approaching, their faces showed a cold intent to kill.
"Kesler, go deal with these ignorant fools."
"Don't let these people ruin our blood sacrifice plan."
Kane, the highest-ranking among the four evil priests, ordered expressionlessly.
Facing Kane's domineering orders.
Kesler looked a bit displeased, but he didn't refute.
Although everyone was at the same level as priests.
But Kane was much stronger than him in terms of qualifications and achievements.
After completing this large-scale blood sacrifice.
Kane would most likely gain the favor of the Crimson Demon Lord and be promoted to Crimson Bishop.
He didn't want to offend his future superior because of his dissatisfaction.
No choice.
Kesler could only choose to vent his anger on Rennes and the others.
"Die in agony, you ants."
A cruel expression appeared on Kesler's face.
A strange fluctuation burst out from his staff.
Level 3 dark magic, Crimson Touch.
The next second.
Hundreds and thousands of dark red energy tentacles appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards Rennes and the others like giant pythons.
This was a dark magic that only the priests under the Crimson Demon Lord could learn.
And its effect was extremely evil.
Once it hit, these tentacles would immediately suck the blood of the target like a pump, nourishing the caster.
During this process, the target would experience extreme pain comparable to the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty.
Completely losing the ability to resist.
Only death could bring relief.
"Holy Light Slash!"
Perceiving the strangeness and evilness of these tentacles.
Without hesitation, Rennes drew the Storm Greatsword from behind, activated his fighting spirit, and swung it down forcefully.
The next second.
A massive sword energy, shimmering with divine radiance, burst through the air.
It met the attacking crimson tentacles head-on.
The power of the Holy Light restrained all evil energy.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The two attacks collided.
The sword energy representing the Holy Light sliced through the tentacles effortlessly, tearing them apart and purifying them like a hot knife through butter.
Then, with unabated momentum, it shot towards Kesler at high speed.
Before he could react,
Kesler was struck by this Holy Light sword energy.
If it weren't for the crimson robe he was wearing automatically activating a defensive magic - the Crimson Shield - and blocking most of the power of the Holy Light sword energy,
Kesler would probably have been cut in half.
However.
Even though he didn't die, Kesler was heavily injured.
For someone like him, a devotee of the evil god, the purifying Holy Light energy was like sulfuric acid.
Once contaminated, it would be "corroded".
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Feeling the Holy Light energy corroding his body, Kesler let out a beast-like cry of pain.
Immediately, he wanted to use crimson magic to heal himself.
However.
Rennes did not give him that chance.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Once again, a Holy Light slash burst through the air, directly killing Kesler on the spot.
Of the four high priests of the evil gods, only three remained in an instant.
