"Why did this guy even show up!" Rogge couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the middle-aged man in a golden robe. This man was the head of the Wings of Holy Light priesthood and the high priest Goethe, the messenger of the Holy Emperor's oracle. .
Ten years ago, it was he who gave the Holy Emperor's oracle to burn black cats and witches to death to all the priests in the empire, setting off a wave of massacres of black cats and witches in the three principalities under the empire.
As a victim of this massacre, Lilith did not know him, but Rogge was no stranger to him.
This fanatic under the Holy Emperor was full of hostility towards the elves and mermaids, believing that the two races were heretics and evil spirits. He even incited the Holy Emperor to launch wars to annihilate the two races many times. However, due to the dissuasion of Antonio, the leader of the Silver Dragon Wings Knights, he It has never been successful.
Now, Tully and Murphy are surrounded by a group of priests. Of course, Goethe will not miss this opportunity. Where his scepter is pointing, the priests inside the encirclement simultaneously spread out the books in their hands and point their right hands at Tully. and Murphy, a golden light shot out from their fingertips, and the tip turned into a sharp arrow and rushed towards the two of them.
Tully saw golden arrows of light shooting from all directions, and hurriedly cast a spell to create a layer of water shield around herself and Murphy. The sharp edge of the light arrow hit the surface of the shield, stirring up the water film into a concave vortex, but she could not remove it. It penetrates.
Taking advantage of the chance that the priests' attack was blocked by the water shield, Tali pointed her staff, and four dimensional gates with white waves appeared in front, back and left of her. A group of low-level mermaid soldiers holding sharp blades jumped out of the dimensional vortex. out.
"High Priest Goethe, since you must put us to death, don't blame me for being rude!" Tully pointed angrily at Goethe with her staff, and the low-level mermaid soldiers rushed towards the human priests with sharp blades.
"Kill these evil fish monsters!" Bach, the execution priest, shouted loudly, and the priests turned their spearheads towards the low-level mermaid soldiers who were rushing towards them.
The sacred book released deadly punishment magic. The mermaid soldier who was hit screamed and fell to the ground. The remaining mermaid soldiers relied on their flexible skills to avoid the magic attack. They leaned forward and stabbed the priest directly with the harpoon in their hands. Chest, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Kill that witch, don't let her continue to cause trouble!" High Priest Goethe, who was standing on the steps, ordered in a deep voice.
Bach, the executioner priest, heard the order, waved his hand and threw the silver scepter towards Tali. The silver scepter turned into a huge silver war hammer in the dazzling silver light, and landed heavily on the surface of the water film.
With a "crash" sound, the water film shattered by the war hammer scattered on the ground like rain. The silver war hammer volleyed down into the sky and hit Tully again.
Murphy on the side hurriedly pushed Tali away and stepped back. Unexpectedly, the excessive movement involved the wound. A heartbreaking pain suddenly hit his heart. Murphy covered the wound and groaned, and his body staggered. He almost fell down after a while.
"Murphy!" Tully, who had dodged the war hammer, hurriedly stepped forward to support Murphy. The adventurer gritted his teeth and waved his hand to Tully and said, "Go quickly and don't worry about me. It's you they want to kill. I'll be fine." !"
"No, I won't abandon you!" Tully raised her head angrily, glaring at Bach who was manipulating the silver war hammer to rise again. She opened her arms and turned into a mermaid floating in mid-air in the bursting waves.
"The anger of the sea will swallow you up!" Tali shouted angrily, the mermaid staff in her hand burst into dazzling blue light, and the surrounding ground shook violently.
With a loud bang, the ground beneath Bach's feet collapsed instantly, and a column of water rose into the sky, like a roaring water dragon that knocked the executioner priest into the air.
Accompanied by Bach's horrified scream, the mermaid's guardian fish flew into the air with a swing of its tail, and the guardian staff spun in mid-air. The water column exploded, spreading out a ring of huge waves that roared like a tsunami, sweeping away the surrounding priests. They were knocked to the ground in pieces.
When the huge waves dissipated, Bach, the executioner priest, fell painfully on the big steps, panting and clutching his painful chest, unable to get up from the ground. The priests around the square staggered to the ground, their bodies dripping wet. Like a drowned rat.
"Looks like we don't need to do anything anymore!" Seeing this scene, Rogge, who had just prepared to go out to help in the battle, breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he saw Tully show her true magic power, and he couldn't help but admire him.
"Such a punishment is too light for them!"
Lilith gritted her teeth and stared at the priests who fell to the ground. She wanted to jump down and gouge out their eyes and tear their chests apart. If Rogge hadn't reached out to hold her, she would definitely do this.
"Control yourself, honey, their debt will be repaid, but not now!"
Rogge gently stroked Lilith's head with his hand. The girl suppressed the hatred in her heart, buried her face in Rogge's arms, closed her eyes and tried to calm her emotions, but her body was still shaking.
"Murphy, how are you?" On the ground, Tully turned around and fell next to Murphy, holding his arm with her hand. The adventurer gritted his teeth and endured the pain of the wound, and gasped softly: "I'm fine, what happened just now It's so beautiful!"
"I didn't want to do this, they forced me!" Tully turned back and glared at the high priest Goethe on the steps, and said angrily: "Before this, Rogge denounced me for the indiscriminate behavior of the Holy Society. I never Deep down I didn't think so, but I didn't expect that it would be my turn so soon!"
"Roger?" Hearing the name, Goethe sneered contemptuously. He stared at Tully with gloomy eyes and said, "So you and that damn wanted criminal are also in the same group. Very good. Let me solve it myself." Let's get rid of you and execute those damn criminals together!"
Goethe raised the golden scepter in his hand and pointed it at Tully and Murphy. The golden light of the gem on the head of the staff flashed, and three golden rays of light appeared around the two people, turning into three angels of light standing with the holy sword and bowed their heads.
"No one can resist the divine punishment coming to this world, no matter who you are!"
Along with Goethe's stern shout, the three angels simultaneously raised their dazzling holy swords and pointed to the sky. A golden holy light fell from the sky and struck the ground where Tully and Murphy were with lightning speed.
The powerful golden shock wave spread instantly, and the houses around the square suddenly collapsed into rubble, and the huge explosion echoed in everyone's ears.
Rogge had to hold the frightened Catherine and Lilith with both hands, protecting them from the collapsed walls and the shock wave in the distance.
When the golden shock wave dissipated, the square returned to calm from the deafening explosion. Rogge looked up and looked around. After confirming that there was no danger, he let go of Catherine and Lilith. He stood up and walked to the collapsed wall to look at the square. go.
Where Tully and Murphy were standing, a large crater with a diameter of five meters had been blasted by the holy light from the sky. The scattered smoke and dust filled the crater, but no sound came from the crater.
Rogge stared at the dust that had not yet dissipated, and couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
At this moment, a majestic male voice suddenly came from the pit: "High Priest Goethe, abusing divine power is against the will of the Holy Emperor. His Majesty the Holy Emperor has reprimanded you countless times for this, but you are still stubborn. Spirit! Could it be that this is your loyalty to His Majesty?"
When Goethe heard the sound, the smug expression on his face instantly turned into ashes. His two narrowed eyes stared at the smoke and dust hovering above the pit. He shook his head gently and said to himself: "No, isn't that bastard? Are you going to ruin my good deeds again?"
When the smoke gradually dissipated, a man in a golden helmet walked out of the pit with solid steps. His whole body was emitting a dazzling golden light, and Murphy and Tully, who were supported by him, were shrouded in golden light. middle.
He helped the two of them out of the pit and came to the foot of the big steps. He used the golden spear in his hand to push back Bach and the priests who were surrounding them. He lifted the visor of the golden helmet, revealing Antonio's frosty face.
The leader of the knights stared at Goethe and said sternly: "High Priest, killing innocent people indiscriminately is not the teaching of the Holy Emperor to the knights. You'd better ask if the spear in my hand agrees!"
