Alien Knights

Chapter 606 City of Martyrdom (9)

Catacombs, directly below the Holy Forum.

Father Pedro held a torch in one hand and rubbed the wall with the other: "In my impression, it should be here."

After removing the rubble from the wall, Pedro looked at the dilapidated corridor hidden behind the wall and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, this is it."

"Go up the steps in front and you will reach the backyard of the Holy Court Square. Walk a few hundred meters further and we will find the prison of the First Inquisition."

Aldenan pricked up his wolf ears as he walked: "Listen, there seems to be explosions and screams in the distance."

Karin wiped the dagger and put it back on her waist: "Lord Cumberland is leading an army to attack the city. This is actually for our actions to attract the enemy's attention."

Lizardman Kellogg spit out the letter and said: "I hope we can find our prisoners before the city falls."

Karin turned back and said: "Relax, Master Cumberland will control the rhythm of the attack. If the attack is too fierce, the enemy will lose hope of survival and go crazy enough to kill all the prisoners; but if the attack is too weak, it will not be able to attract The effect of attention.”

Kellogg was a little surprised: "Are these all plans made in advance?"

"This is what the Holy King said."

Kellogg clenched his paw into a fist, placed it on his chest, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Everything is just as the Supreme Dragon God's vision was."

Pedro reached the end of the stairs, put out the torch in his hand, and said, "We are here. Climb up and you will find the backyard of the square."

Everyone climbed down a long ladder at the end and found that the exit was an ancient well that had been abandoned for a long time.

Pedro patted the dust on his body and said to everyone: "Put on your robes, lower your heads, and don't let the guards see your faces."

The tauren Bulwer put on the robe that was as big as a sail. Seeing that his hooves were exposed and couldn't cover them, he said to the orc Carol: "I will follow you later." ."

Werewolf Aldenan smiled and said to Bulwer: "Maybe you can try getting on all fours."

The tauren raised his fist and ignored the other party's teasing.

Everyone moved forward along the passage called the Sacred Corridor.

Along the way, thousands of believers knelt in the square, with their heads facing the direction of the church, and loudly chanted the grace of Heavenly Father.

"This city is under the protection of Heavenly Father, and no enemy can touch this holy land!"

"Have you heard the hymns coming from the sky? Do you feel the undulating shaking under your feet? That is our God, our Heavenly Father! His wrath will soon descend outside the city and burn all evil deceivers to death. ash!"

Groups of men, women, and children twisted their bodies like madmen, and the fanatical expressions on their faces made people shudder.

Barbara closed her eyes, afraid to look anymore.

Randall, who was walking, suddenly stopped: "Someone is coming."

A patrol team composed of Catholic believers walked up to Pedro and looked suspiciously at the "strange" team behind him.

Pedro calmly took out a scroll of letters from his arms and showed the fire mark on it to the captain of the patrol.

"According to Bishop Yarborough's order, we went to the Holy Court to guard the city."

After checking the fire seal, the patrol made way for a passage and watched these people disappear into the night.

"I almost couldn't help but take action just now." Aldenan retracted his wolf claws and let out a long breath.

Carroll looked at the patrols wandering around the square and asked: "Have there been so many guards here in the past? I thought the Holy See had transferred most of its troops to the city defense."

Pedro wiped the sweat from his head and quickened his pace: "Tonight is a bit special. Cardinal Jacob said he would hold a pilgrimage in the cathedral."

Randall asked doubtfully: "Pilgrimage?"

"In order to commemorate the saint who sacrificed his life for righteousness and spread the gospel, the Holy See holds a pilgrimage every three years, requiring all believers in Heavenly Father to gather and participate."

When Pedro said this, he felt a little strange: "But this time, even though the time has not yet come, Bishop Jacob insisted on holding the pilgrimage during the war."

Aldenan curled his lips: "Could it be that the church is worried that the people in the city have been frightened and will use this rally to brainwash all believers again?"

Pedro smiled dryly.

Randall gave the priest an apologetic smile.

The group advanced for another fifteen minutes.

The surrounding buildings are getting rarer and rarer, and the crowds are gradually disappearing.

"We are about to arrive at the Holy See Prison." Pedro seemed to feel the coolness in the air, and shuddered: "This place is classified as a religious restricted area, and even church personnel rarely go near it."

After walking nearly a hundred meters further, Pedro led the others to hide in a small forest, pointed to a brightly lit camp not far away and said, "Did you see that there? That's the entrance to the prison."

The lizardman Kellogg used his superpower to check it out, turned around and said to Randall: "Two small teams of Holy See knights, a whole battalion of soldiers."

Randall looked up at the entrance of the camp, and after a while, he said: "The biggest trouble is the alarm bells on the two sentries at the entrance. As long as we get close, the sentries will sound the alarm, attacking the enemies in the square, and in the prison." The defenders will come for reinforcements at the same time."

Karin Foreman glanced at the camp and asked, "If I kill all the soldiers on the two guard towers, can you capture this camp?"

Aldenan grinned and said, "I'm not bragging. It doesn't even take a while to urinate to deal with the defenders inside..."

"That's fine."

Karin tied her hair back, and her delicate face had a pair of bright eyes shining brightly in the firelight.

She first visually measured the distance, and then took out a strange "S"-shaped dart from her arms.

Karin exerted force on her right heel and completed a graceful circle with her body. The dart in her hand came out and headed straight towards the sentry tower in a weird curve.

The dart first came to the high platform of the first sentry tower. Karin's figure suddenly appeared in the air. She swung the dagger with her forehand and then pulled it with her backhand, accurately slitting the throats of the two sentries.

The dart remained unabated and almost drew a semicircle, flying directly into the second sentry tower and piercing into the wooden pillar.

Karin's figure appeared in the air again, her left hand turned into a knife and struck the neck of a sentry. She held a dagger in her right hand and stabbed into the chest of another enemy.

All these actions happened in the blink of an eye, taking only one second.

By the time everyone reacted, Karin had already finished dealing with the enemies on the two sentry towers and began to wipe the blood stains on the dagger.

Aldenan closed his open mouth with his claws and whispered to Carol next to him: "Remember to remind me in the future not to mess with this woman."

Bulwell took out the giant ax behind him, spread his hoofs, and followed Randall, who raised his shield and sword, to charge towards the enemy camp.

Kellogg used the ability of mimicry to stealthly enter the flank of the battlefield and began to intercept and kill the fleeing and reporting enemies.

A huge fireball quickly shot out from Barbara's fingers, blowing the camp door into pieces.

In the city of Tyro, where fighting continues, a rescue operation to save the trapped prisoners has officially begun.
