Chapter 254 Black Tide!

"Your Majesty the Pope, is this enough?" Huo Lun asked.

Pope Rodrigo showed a slightly tired expression: "Even if the witch secretly controls dead bodies and mice, she will not be able to move again for at least the next thirty days. She will not even be able to think."

"Could it be these two people?" Horan looked at Jones and William, still worried.

"Haha..." Pope Rodrigo laughed, "They are even weaker and will not wake up within half a year. And I only need ten days to completely control this power!"

The pope's voice gradually became louder.

"Dead bodies, rats, and the Black Death! All of these will become weapons of the church! The banner of the cross will sweep across the continent, cross the sea of ​​mist, and go to the legendary golden land. The Eternal Church will become the true eternity. !”

Following Pope Rodrigo's words, golden light burst out from his eyes, mouth and nose.

Exuding terrifying coercion.

There was a touch of magnificent red in the golden light.

Huolun and others bowed their heads and saluted.

Soon, the Pope returned to normal. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and don't disturb me again for ten days. You can discuss things together."

"Priest Sanctification...he is very interested in the eternal blood armor." Huo Lun said.

"Give it to him, we will have endless undead legions in the future." Pope Rodrigo said.

In his eyes, everything else is no longer important.

It only takes ten days. After ten days, the eternal light will spread until it covers the whole world.

He will also become the Eternal Pope.

Huolun and others left, and a man walked out from behind the cross in the room.

This man was not young, and could catch up with the average age of a cardinal. He was wearing light clothes and had a sword on his waist.

He said: "You waved your hand and sent my armor away."

If Eve and others were here, they would definitely be surprised to see this man.

This person is none other than Lancelot, the strongest among the blood-armored knights and the strongest knight in the church.

He, who was thought to be absent from the Holy City of the Church, was actually here.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable.

The strongest knight protects the Pope, which is considered a basic operation.

"Do you still need armor?" Rodrigo asked.

Lancelot smiled and shook his head. With his strength and realm, he no longer needed the Eternal Blood Armor.

"Then give it to that little guy. In the future we will need him to charge forward and clear the obstacles in front of us." Pope Rodrigo closed his eyes again.

Lancelot shrugged his shoulders, returned behind the cross, and drew his sword.

This is a medieval cross sword with an ordinary shape and an ordinary appearance. Only when it is illuminated by light, it reflects a sharp cold light that shows its extraordinary nature.

Lancelot used a whetstone to sharpen the sword slowly.

The movements are steady and form a unique rhythm.

A few days flew by.

There are still three days left before Xia Yanzhen completes his mission.

These days are peaceful daily routines for most people in the holy city and surrounding areas.

For Xia Yanzhen, it is a day of harvest.

The blood-armored knights returned to the Holy City one after another, and were visited one by one by Xia Yanzhen.

Now, in Xia Yanzhen's room, there are a total of eleven armor shelves, all of which are the eternal blood armor of the blood armor knight.

There are eleven sets in total.

Except for the one worn by Eve, all the other blood armors are here.

Lancelot, the strongest knight, did not return to the Holy City, but after learning the news, he sent someone to deliver his armor very simply.

In his words, it is basically no longer needed, so it is better to give it to Father Anderson.

Xia Yanzhen asked Eve that Lancelot was old and rarely continued to wear armor.

For him, the Eternal Blood Armor has more of a commemorative value. It is given to young people to represent inheritance, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Of course Xia Yanzhen would not be polite and accept it directly.

Eleven sets of armors are placed here, all of them are similar.

Two of the sets are slightly larger, suitable for a macho man who is over two meters tall.

The rest, who are between 1.7 and 1.9 meters tall, should be able to wear them, but at most they just don't fit well.

The universality of the eternal blood armor is relatively strong.

Unlike the Book of Divine Purification and the Prisoner of Darkness, you will either die if you touch it, or it will be as heavy as a mountain.

Even if their orthodox usage is disregarded, they can be used directly as weapons against enemies—provided they are not dead and can be handled.

If Xia Yanzhen took off his Prisoner of Darkness coat, he would "tie it into a stick" and pull it out all at once.

His power, combined with the weight of the Prisoner of Darkness, would definitely be terrifying.

But it only works on humans and living things.

It cannot be used to demolish a house.

To demolish the house, you still need to use the bloody gun.

When a gun is swung, even without the use of a sword or a gun blade, the gun shaft alone can break the load-bearing columns of most houses.

Putting his hand on the blood armor, Xia Yanzhen received the armors one by one into his personal space.

The total capacity is 28 cubic meters, and there is not much stuff inside, so it is more than enough to store these armors.

There were only three days left. The blood-armored knights were also nesting in the holy city. Xia Yan really would not lend any more armor.

Eve's set will be left to her and will not be taken away.

Leaving some for the church, plucking the feathers and digging out the roots is not Xia Yan's true character.

More importantly, Eve is an obedient person.

After putting away the blood armor, Xia Yan really planned to go downstairs. Suddenly, the house shook twice.

"earthquake?"

Xia Yanzhen opened the window and jumped into the courtyard outside.

Although even if the house collapses suddenly, he cannot be truly buried, but who wants to be buried himself?

As soon as Xia Yanzhen landed in the small courtyard, the slight shaking stopped.

Most people may not be able to detect it.

The two nuns and maids were still busy in the house, unaware of the sudden shock just now.

"Ahh..."

Xia Yanzhen turned his head and heard Ruoyouruowu's screams coming from outside.

Taking out the sacred book of purification at his waist, Xia Yanzhen flipped through it twice and reached the page about wings.

After a few days of cooling, the pages are ready for reuse.

Stepping on the wings, Xia Yanzhen flew out of the city with all the "holy light".

Soon we arrived at the high wall of the outer city.

No one on the city wall showed surprise, dissatisfaction or anger at Xia Yanzhen's sacred and profane behavior.

The eyes of a group of people were completely attracted outside the city.

In the distant building complex, black fountains gush out from the ground, more than ten meters above the ground, and then scatter around.

It evolved into black torrents, rushing towards the Holy City from different directions.

In the black torrent, there are dots of red stars, undulating up and down.

The torrent is not water, and the color red is not flower petals.

But every mouse!

Rat with red eyes!

Massive rats emerged from the ground, and the wave of Black Death suddenly appeared and spread.

A large number of screams came from various settlements outside the Holy City.

Outside the Holy City is a bustling residential area with a much larger population than the Holy City.

It was daytime now, and it was supposed to be a time to live and work in peace and contentment, but I never thought that the ground suddenly sunk and deep pits appeared one after another.

Rats with red eyes appeared and spread.

In most medieval houses, it was impossible to keep rats away.

Hundreds of rats swarmed people, pressing them to the ground and devouring them.

Either leaving bones, or... leaving a complete person.

After those people rolled over in fear and crushed many rats to death, they suddenly realized that the rats around them had only crawled over and bit them.

But he didn't really bite them to death.

Just when these people thought they were lucky, they encountered wounds bitten by mice.

Yu Sheng's expression changed from surprise to pain and despair.

Being able to live near the Holy City, they knew to some extent that rats were one of the sources of the Black Death.

The devil contaminates the rats, and through the rats he contaminates people.

spread among people.

It's such a chain of infection.

Nowadays, if they are bitten by a rat, it means they have the Black Death.

Maybe it was because he had the Black Death that he was just bitten - although his body was covered in bruises, they were all just outside the skin, and there was no real loss of flesh and blood.

Blood will be shed, not much.

The rats did not bite them into a pile of wreckage, which only proved that everyone was "the same kind of black people."

A hellish scene suddenly descended and broke out outside the Holy City.

There were whines and howls everywhere.

The person who was bitten by a mouse but let go, after wailing in pain, got up strong again.

It's not time to wait for death yet, there is still hope.

They lived near the Holy City, and the church had ways to save people suffering from the Black Death.

As long as they received treatment from the church before the Black Death completely broke out, they could survive.

Don't they live here just so that they can get some protection in times of danger?

Now is the time!

Many people ran towards the holy city.

As expected, those red-eyed rats did not attack these bitten people, but allowed them to step on them and trample them to death.

It would take time for people infected with the Black Death to reach the Holy City.

And the fastest torrent of rats has already arrived under the city wall.

On the city wall, a curtain of light suddenly appeared.

Many people looked to the sky.

A ray of light poured out from the top of the inner city cathedral, spreading across the sky of the holy city and hanging down from the outer city wall.

Protect the holy city.

The rats collided with the light curtain and made a squeaking sound. There was no way to break through the light curtain and enter the holy city.

Instead, these red-eyed mice died one after another after being exposed to light.

After a while, the body was devoured by the same kind, leaving no bones behind.

The militiamen on the wall breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the church is there, they are safe.

The knights were naturally not surprised that the Holy City was capable of this.

"Woo-"

The vast sound of horns came from the direction of the inner city.

The knights responsible for guarding the city gate received the order, and the heavy gate slowly closed.

Separate the inside and outside of the Holy City.

Outside the city is purgatory on earth, and a terrifying tide of rats is surging.

In the city, panic was spreading crazily.

Black rat tides broke out in all directions outside the Holy City. On the ground, potholes were formed one after another, gradually becoming devastated.

The Holy City is like an isolated island, constantly withstanding the impact of the black tide.

In the doomsday scene, Xia Yanzhen stood on the wall and opened the book of sacred purification.

Light has arrived.
