Chapter 0970 Action Is Imminent

The sudden outbreak outside the city further highlighted the urgency of the situation.

Originally, the top leaders of Hysas only speculated that the witch's companions would come to rescue her, but now it has become a bloody reality.

In just one night, more than a dozen towns were infected with the plague.

These diseases were so fierce and contagious that the top leaders of the empire were terrified.

Ordinary medical officers were completely helpless against the fierce epidemic, and even they themselves could not guarantee that they would not be infected with these diseases. The only effective means to eliminate the plague spores was the holy light treatment of the paladins.

However, even those first-level black iron knights could only cast five times a day for the level of holy light treatment. And a large number of apprentice knights would exhaust all their holy power after casting once.

Faced with such a situation, the top leaders of Hysas could only send paladins from the periphery to the villages and towns where the epidemic was fierce to selectively rescue those villagers with the most obvious symptoms and the most severe attacks. But how could the scattered water sources save a prairie fire?

In just one day, the number of people infected with the plague rose rapidly from a thousand to ten thousand, and there were signs that it was spreading to the city of Haisas.

This completely frightened the high-level officials of Haisas!

You know, at this moment, in addition to the deep-rooted and powerful Paladin Group, Haisas also has a large number of powerful nobles with complicated relationships. Although these nobles usually rely on and rely on the power of the Paladins to maintain their rule, when they themselves are also facing the threat of the plague, they can't help but have some voices that are inconsistent with the Paladins.

Many nobles living in Haisas City have requested to block the city gates and refuse those infected with the disease to enter the city. The middle and low-level Paladins hope that Haisas City can accept more refugees and protect them under the glory of the great holy light.

For the first time, the nobles and Paladins who usually cooperated closely had a serious conflict of ideas, and even a small "misunderstanding" broke out near the gate of Haisas City!

For a time, the city of Hesas was in chaos, and even the Holy Light Chapel was besieged by low-level nobles.

After some behind-the-scenes transactions and negotiations, the nobles of Hesas reluctantly agreed to open the East District to refugees pouring in from all directions. The Holy Light Chapel also sent a certain number of paladins to the noble district to ensure that the plague would not spread to the area.

So, Grimm was fortunate to become a personal bodyguard that some great nobles were vying to win over!

In addition to these disturbances, the Holy Light Chapel also stepped up the time to torture the captured witch.

From her mouth, the Holy Light Chapel quickly obtained detailed information and information about the other two wizards, and sent a large group of black iron knights to search and capture possible wizard remnants in nearby villages and towns.

Of course, in view of the terrible previous record of the 3rd-level fire wizard, the Holy Light Chapel also sent two 3rd-level gold knights to lead a large number of 2nd-level silver knights to various places to take charge. In this way, once the traces of wizards are found in a certain place, they can also strangle them nearby.

In this way, the powerful forces gathered in the Holy Light Chapel were divided invisibly!

However, the conspiracy arranged by Grimm obviously "broke the city gate and affected the fish in the pond", and forced out another deeply hidden fraud witch.

It can be seen that the third-level fraud witch named Itariel has also lurked in the suburbs of Haisas City, and seems to have the same intention as Grimm. Unfortunately, due to mutual distrust, she obviously had no way to contact Grimm in time.

So, in the plague offensive launched by Grimm, a large number of Black Iron Knights cooperated with the local village guards and unexpectedly found this Itariel.

The two sides fought in a place called Redwood Village, and the third-level Itariel showed his power and madly killed the Paladin team and nearly a hundred villagers in Redwood Village.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest!

The Paladins, who were already holding back a nameless anger, gathered near Redwood Village, and even the two Golden Knights who were away quickly rushed there.

It has to be said that there are no weak witches who can become level 3, not to mention that Itariel is a well-known tower master among the fraud witches. Reina brought her here this time to take advantage of her powerful force, but unfortunately, they were directly separated during the crossing. Otherwise, with Itariel's protection, Reina would never have ended up in such a miserable end.

How could such a strong and powerful witch be forced back by a group of natives!

So, around the city of Hesas, this Itariel witch and a group of swarming paladins played guerrilla warfare. With the extraordinary transformation and lying abilities of the fraud witch, Itariel is like a ghost that appears and disappears, and appears in a completely different form every time.

And she also deliberately avoided the two gold knights and aimed her killing at the silver and black iron knights. Therefore, in the three-day "cat and mouse game", she killed dozens of paladins above level 1 by herself.

Under heavy pressure from reality, the Holy Light Chapel in Haisas City had to send another golden knight to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the witch.

With three to one, the paladins finally got a great opportunity to encircle Itaril in a place called Haifeng Town. There were thousands of people there, and Itaril hid there with the help of Transfiguration, which made the encirclement and suppression of the paladins more difficult.

After five days of waiting in the city of Hesas, Grimm finally got a perfect opportunity to make a move.

Only two golden knights were left to guard the Holy Light Chapel.

The witch Reina was imprisoned in a secret confessional room in the chapel, guarded by a 3rd-level golden knight named Kennett. As for the witch array materials, according to Grimm's exploration and analysis during this period, it is likely that they are kept in the hands of another Paladin commander named Lambert.

And he is also a 3rd-level golden knight!

Two golden knights, one guarding the witch and the other keeping the materials, such a division of labor is in line with the effect of risk sharing. Therefore, Grimm did not hesitate to start the long-planned raid plan!

…………

It was night.

In the city of Hesas.

In a luxurious room in the noble district in the west of the city, Grimm casually pushed open the wooden window.

The sky was dark, the stars were dim, and the moonlight projected was faintly bloody.

Dong Dong Dong.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Lord Yedrick, it's dinner time!" The maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Tell your master that I will pray for the Holy Light all night tonight. I won't eat dinner, and no one is allowed to come in to disturb me!" Grimm refused sternly.

"Yes!"

With the sound of light footsteps, silence returned outside the door.

Grimm raised his head, looked at the bloody night sky, stretched out a finger, and slowly began to condense the fire element in the air.

The misty red fire element peeled off from the colorless and transparent void and gathered at Grimm's fingertips, making the small section at the front end hotter and brighter, with a tendency to ignite suddenly.

At this time, an invisible but real strange force emerged in the void above Grimm's head and began to slowly extend to his position.

Sacred barrier!

The fire elements at Grimm's fingertips have gathered to a limit threshold. As long as there are a little more, they will instantly explode into a cluster of real elemental flames. At that time, the sacred barrier covering the entire city of Hesas will be triggered, thus attracting the attention of the Paladins of the Holy Light Chapel.

It must be said that although the Paladins of the Envik plane follow the path of faith, the magic power they master is only a single holy light. However, after thousands of years of continuous immersion in it, they have also explored some completely different ways to use the holy light.

For example, the sacred barrier covering the entire city of Hesas is one of them!

Using the sensitivity and exclusivity of holy light, Hesas propped up a huge sacred barrier. Inside this barrier, any active or passive condensation of magic elements will trigger and trigger the barrier counterattack. Fortunately, Grimm only condensed the fire element on a small scale and did not let it turn into real fire witchcraft.

Otherwise, even some apprentice-level witchcraft would trigger the counterattack of the sacred barrier.

In addition to being able to monitor and sense the movement of magic energy, this sacred barrier can also create a single element environment inside. This is actually a trap left by the Paladins for the wizards.

Once any wizard is so powerful that he breaks into the city of Haisas, the paladins who preside over the sacred magic circle in the Holy Light Chapel will be able to change the barrier from implicit to explicit. At that time, all magic elements except holy light will be banned in the entire city of Haisas.

And this is probably extremely terrifying for the wizards from other worlds who are trapped in the siege!

Therefore, in addition to gathering information, Grimm has been constantly testing the reaction and operation mechanism of this sacred barrier. After the chip senses and detects its power fluctuations, the location of the sacred magic circle has been basically determined.

And if Grimm wants to break into the Holy Light Chapel, he must first break this sacred barrier.

Otherwise, he will not do such a stupid thing as fighting two level 3 gold knights under the suppression of the sacred barrier.

Grimm clarified his thoughts in the bloody moonlight, and once again reviewed the entire battle plan in his mind to make sure there were no loopholes. Then he issued an attack order to a distant place.

Although the sacred barrier is very sensitive to magic elements, it obviously cannot block the secret connection between souls.

So, under Grimm's command, the plague poison spirit Remi who had been lurking outside the city of Hesas finally took action!
