The guardian knight and the healing priest quickly covered her mouth.
Loren covered his forehead and sighed, the lonely cold wind making him feel more uneasy.
Looking up, the sky should be full of stars, but they are all blocked by dim clouds and mist.
Behind the four of them, the light from the sentry tower continued to illuminate the dark ground. The officers led by Nan Wantina were also fully armed. Their armors shone coldly in the night. They clenched their weapons and were ready to deal with any possible danger. threaten.
These experienced warriors quickly divided into several teams, some responsible for patrolling key areas of the city-state, and others tracking possible clues that led to the closure of the protective barrier.
The entire southern side of the city-state was shrouded in a rapid and tense cold air, and every corner was full of action figures.
In the residential areas further away, the streets have been completely painted in black. People on the upper and lower floors either closed their doors and windows, carefully spying on what's going on outside, or took refuge in safer areas under the guidance of the city defense troops and priests.
"Teacher Loren, what are you thinking about?"
The healing priest girl in white robe observed Loren's expression and asked.
"Neither Destruction Bishop Ivanos nor Decay Bishop Farmer came...and they knew that the mysterious bishop was suspected of passing by and might attract me, but they still decided to launch a surprise attack tonight..."
Loren said to himself in a sleepy voice.
Something feels wrong.
If the opponent's goal is to fully attack the South Wantina Territory, then the Bishop of Decay and the Bishop of Destruction will not be that far away from the South Wantina Territory. The signal given by the Resurrection Church is like telling Loren, "It doesn't matter whether you come to defend or not." , now the cardinals have no intention of attacking."
Then does the other party really need to completely destroy the main energy station?
Could it be that the other party wants to draw the main force of city defense to the south and east to garrison the energy station.
And the other party's real goal is...to complete a certain project within the half hour of the barrier restarting?
Suddenly, Loren felt a violent fluctuation of magic power erupted on the northwest side of the city-state.
He looked in the direction and felt that there was Farmer's magic power, but it was weaker than him!
It should be a terrifying alchemy beast created by Farmer. The alchemy beast created by Farmer does not require magic support, nor does it require the summoner to reach the eighth level. It is not a magic card but a magic device!
There is also a seventh-level magic source, which seems to be Salomon, the Son of Destruction.
Fortunately, there is still an unknown eighth-level magic power fighting against them.
"Teacher Loren, what's wrong?"
The guardian knights were on alert.
"No, we have to deal with Salomon and the Alchemy Beast on the northwest side of the city-state!"
Although Loren didn't know why there was a mysterious eighth level in Nanwantina's northwest area helping them, but maybe this was what the Resurrection Church wanted to destroy at such a high cost.
The energy station on the south side is not important at all. Even if the barrier takes more than an hour to restart, it doesn't matter. What is important is that the Church of Resurrection cannot be allowed to wreak havoc on the northwest side and achieve their goals.
A cold wind passed between the few people on the far side of the sentry tower.
Just when Loren was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something and suddenly pushed the three priests around him a hundred meters away!
The next moment, before the three clergymen had time to react, they were caught in the strong wind in the air.
All he could see was a figure appearing next to Loren.
He was a muscular man with a ferocious expression. His eyebrows were knitted together and a provocative smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was wearing a simple gray shirt and camouflage pants to look practical and tough.
His right hand stretched forward violently and hit Loren's cheek. It was full of explosive power and killing intent, and seemed to detonate the entire scene in the next moment.
When the explosion resounded across the southern border, dust flew away, and Loren was hit hard.
The violent force lifted up the entire building Loren was trapped in and collapsed like a surging tide. The collision was faster than thunder and shook the entire southern district of South Wantina!
"Teacher Loren!"
Screams echoed in the air.
They had never seen Loren being attacked successfully!
Of course, part of the reason was that Loren, who had reacted originally, was defeated by the enemy in order to protect them.
however.
The burly male stood there.
The scarlet pupils were instantly locked on the three priests.
They feel tingling in their skulls.
Under this man's power, there is no doubt that they will all break into bloody foam in less than a second.
Then, just when they thought that terrifying burly figure would flash in front of them.
The next frame that their eyes could capture had already turned into a mysterious man being severely injured by the air flow like a heavy sword.
In the hurricane rising from the ruins in the distance, runes from the Age of Gods were densely covered in the air. Loren stood up, and the wind around him seemed to turn into pure electric light, which continuously caused the explosion of electric cocoons. The finger he raised, pointed at The direction was clear, and he returned the punch intact to the mysterious man.
Loren's profile is depicted in sharp black and white contrast. He is panting, his face is covered with blood, and blood is flowing from his cheek.
"Run as far as you can!"
Loren shouted without looking back, using his thin back to shield the city defense troops and residential areas from powerful enemies.
The three priests did not hesitate after receiving the order and immediately disappeared.
Although the three of them tried their best to move away, their eyes unconsciously followed the fight between Loren and the mysterious enemy.
This kind of battle that can make the great priest Loren so embarrassed is definitely not something they can participate in. Staying here will only hinder Loren. They need to evacuate the surrounding residents as much as possible, otherwise they need to protect the residents while fighting against the enemy. It will be an absolute disadvantage for Loren!
The mysterious man facing Loren, with his jaw clenched and facial muscles twisted, stood in a long passage drawn by his own footsteps, and everything around his boots was covered with gravel slabs.
His posture was straight, like an unshakable mountain. The blow from Loren's face just now caused the skin on half of his cheek to be broken, revealing his teeth, gums and jawbone.
However, the scars on it quickly began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he quickly returned to his original state, as if Loren had never caused much harm to him.
"who are you?"
Loren noticed the speed of regeneration and his pupils shrank a little.
He has never seen such a mysterious and powerful enemy in these years.
Regeneration is not terrible. What is terrible is that after the other party regenerates, it hardly consumes much magic power and its aura has hardly weakened.
This kind of thing can only remind him of the so-called "blood clan" of ancient creatures.
But no matter what, if the city defense barrier is still there, neither the vampires nor the demons can rush in from outside the country like this!
"hehe."
The eighth ancestor, Marquis Somerset, had his broken cheek completely restored and had no intention of answering Loren's answer.
His eyes were still as hot as lava, and there was a bit of madness in the corners of his mouth. Every breath he took seemed to be for the enjoyment of the next second.
The purpose of coming to the Knox Mountains from the Creation Empire to wait was to deal with the unknown cardinal and to prevent the cardinal from causing trouble.
Unexpectedly, the great priest of the Goddess of Destiny Church also came to lead Nanwantina today.
But it’s the same no matter who you fight.
His arm suddenly moved forward, his scarlet eyes burst into light, and the punch in his hand was like lightning in the night, determined to take Loren's life with this blow!
Without giving Loren a chance to breathe, the huge figure of the Marquis of Somerset arrived in front of Loren again.
At this moment, he showed his murderous intention, and his skin was filled with a faint red brilliance, as hot and fierce as burning blood.
But this time after Loren reacted, it was not so easy for the Marquis of Somerset to succeed.
The Marquis of Somerset's fist seemed to hit an invisible iron wall. The square magic crest on the emerald green ground began to erupt into dark green updrafts, and the metallic buzzing sound and air waves began to rise again.
Although Loren, who was in a hurry, had just taken a fatal blow at close range, the injury he received was not fatal as he already had many damage reduction spells and protective items.
"Don't even think about it."
On the inside of the magic barrier, Loren wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. The green and pure magic power cut scars on the dim city gate ground like a blade, sealing off all the space between the Marquis of Somerset and him.
Hear the words.
The Marquis of Somerset's fist had not moved even half an inch from the barrier. Regardless of the fact that the flesh on his fist was torn apart, he smiled more enthusiastically and tried to rush forward.
"There's no need to go there. It's my pleasure to fight against a strong man like you."
He moved his fist downwards and hit the ground hard. Suddenly, the entire South Wantina District felt like an earthquake, and the ground trembled!
A wide gap opened up on the stone street, and it collapsed step by step as if it was being swallowed up. The building behind Loren was under the impact of Loren and Somerset's fight, and all the intricately carved reliefs and glass were instantly shaken off. , the fragments scattered in the wind.
Many residents were shocked to the point where blood flowed from their ears and they screamed in pain.
"!"
Loren seemed to have sensed something, and a trace of anger rose in his eyes. He immediately covered the southern area with a huge amount of wide-area healing magic. It was like holy light feathers descending from the night sky, gradually resolving the injuries of the residents. pain.
"Since you want to fight me, don't involve those innocent residents!"
There were veins on the back of Loren's hands as he tried his best to resist Somerset.
"Of course, I just like to win, or to ravage my opponents."
Somerset added with a smile.
After Loren's magic output was dispersed, it was obvious that there was a weakness in the barrier in front of him, and it gradually began to crack on Somerset's fist, until Somerset's fist blasted into Loren's body, accompanied by a blast of air. A deadly crackling sound erupted in the ruins and flying sand and rocks.
"You are very good. If you don't care about the life and death of the people in this city-state and let me fight, you may really win, but now I am very sure that you are no match for me."
Somerset flicked his wrist, and his bloody and deformed fist began to recover. He stared ahead and smiled with enjoyment.
He is in no hurry to fight again. At this time, attacking the mind is even more effective and more interesting than the actual attack.
Although the stupid human priest in front of him is very strong, and may even grow to the strength to fight against the Vampire Grand Duke one day in the future, he has inherent human weaknesses and likes to protect those who are more vulnerable.
This is also the reason why not hundreds, but dozens of human eighth-level geniuses died at his hands during the thousands of years of the Blood Moon Age.
"Don't you forget that there is a cardinal in Nanwantina's territory? Even if you survive from my hands today, will he be kind enough to help you treat you when he sees you in such a weak state?"
Somerset asked pityingly.
He was waiting for the Church of Resurrection to successfully assassinate Hyperion, but today the other party had no chance of winning anyway.
"Let's start the fight. Stop trying to communicate with me. I can't reason with the likes of you."
Loren staggered to his feet from the ruins, blood streaming from his face.
He sensed that the situation on the other side might be worse.
Not everyone can block Farmer's alchemy beast. If the eighth-level friend is protecting something like him, it may be even more difficult.
