Age of Mysticism

Sheng Lun City after nightfall is very different from Raging Waves City.

The citizens of Raging Waves City are very willing to enjoy a period of nightlife after work, so Raging Waves City will be lively at night for a long time, and some entertainment venues will be open all night.

However, Saint Lun City used to have a strict curfew. After ten o'clock in the evening, ordinary citizens were not allowed to go out at will. Although the curfew is relaxed now, most of the citizens of St. Lenn who are used to going home at night will not stay outside too much.

A lonely street lamp illuminates the quiet street, only a few windows of the houses on both sides are still lit, and wandering night crows call out from time to time. Suddenly, the sound of a truck engine disturbed the quiet night, and the heavy wheels made a rhythmic sound on the stone road.

The fierce dog barked.

Many citizens were woken up. They opened their windows and looked out, only to see military trucks carrying heavily armed city guard soldiers speeding past.

Something big has happened!

The panicked citizens immediately closed the windows and turned off all the lights.

There was no warning, and no one was notified... In the early hours of the morning, a city guard suddenly entered the city and blocked and controlled some streets and urban areas.

The City Public Security Department was the first to respond, but before they could send someone to inquire, the garrison first took out the order from the eldest prince.

"General Sinclair Augustine is leading the army and cooperating with the Sixth Division of the Secret Intelligence Bureau to wipe out the enemy spies lurking in the imperial capital. Please cooperate with the City Public Security Bureau!"

The City Sheriff's Department immediately dispatched a sheriff to assist.

The free city guards concentrated their forces to seal and encircle all the targets, and the house of the grain merchant Auston was surrounded by heavy siege.

Heavy war machinery is at the forefront, and technical soldiers quickly assemble golems for the assault. Some magicians release the buff state for the soldiers preparing to attack, providing them with spiritual protection, while some magicians prepare the spells needed for the attack.

Five airships hovered in the sky, and the high-power searchlights shot beams of light back and forth to scan the entire building area. Under the gondola of the airship, the elite soldiers in paragliding suits are suspended by tens of meters of traction ropes, and they can airborne and fight at any place within the flight range at any time.

Sinclair, who commanded the garrison, stood in front of the outer door of the building. He was wearing light metal armor, a general-style metal military cap, and holding a beautifully forged broadsword in his hand.

Sinclair waited for his soldiers to prepare for battle.

A soldier pushed forward from the rear guards and whispered to Sinclair, "Your Highness, Miss Weatherlight is here with five Oulu mages."

Sinclair said happily: "Please ask Miss Skylight to come here!"

After a while, Clear Sky arrived with five Oulu mages. With the exception of Clear Sky, who wore her characteristic battle attire, the other five Oulu mages all wore magical robes and wide-brimmed hoods to hide their appearance.

When Sinclair saw Qingkong, he immediately gave a knight salute: "Thanks to Miss Qingkong and the Oulu mages for their support, this will save us from making sacrifices."

"The origin of the Abyss Temple and the Oulu Academy, it is the duty of every Oulu mage to eliminate the abyss mage. Your Highness Sinclair, are you and your soldiers ready?"

Qingkong said modestly while observing the current situation.

The grain merchant Alston's house occupies a large area. The main building is surrounded by open lawns and gardens, and is surrounded by an iron fence outside. Facing the siege of the city guards, the people in the room did not respond at all. They turned off all the light sources inside and waited quietly for the attack.

Sinclair's army was ready to attack.

The type and level of the city guard can be seen from the clothes and equipment. Officers and soldiers with obvious physical characteristics or wearing advanced armor are elites with a certain degree of force.

Sinclair also took a look at the army he had brought. He was very satisfied with the garrison of St. Lun City, which was composed of veterans of the Northern Legion.

He took out his pocket watch to check the time.

"Miss Qingkong, my army is ready for battle, and the time agreed with Governor Meteor has come...we can attack!"

Qingkong looked back to see that he was bringing the Oulu mage with him. He paused for a moment on the two obviously females, and said to Sinclair, "Let's attack! The abyssal apostle, Morris, will be handed over to us."

"He's yours!" Sinclair showed Qingkong a handsome smile, then waved his hand and ordered: "All troops obey orders! Siege the Abyss Temple... attack!"

Several magic signals went into the air, and the airships in the sky also sent out attack signals. Soon the sky of Saint Lun City was filled with magical signals flying around and exploded into gorgeous fireworks.

The order to attack was issued, and the magicians accompanying the army were the first to release the prepared magic. Dark clouds formed rapidly within the building area, rain poured down, and then thunderbolts fell from the sky.

The magicians accompanying the army did not aim at the main building as the primary target of their attack, but instead controlled the falling lightning to form a thunder net to sweep across the garden around the main building.

The rainwater that fell on the ground sent electric currents running wildly on the ground, and one magic trap after another was detonated and exploded.

The firepower clearing is completed, and the power grid is closed to the main building.

Under the control of the driver, the heavy war machine carried a thick shield and walked towards the main building. Those iron fences were in front of them, bent and broken like noodles.

The follow-up soldiers lined up behind the tall body of the war machine.

The entire offensive coordination is running smoothly, and everyone is doing what they should do in their own positions, showing extremely high military literacy.

The outer magic traps were completely destroyed, and the war machine approached the main building smoothly. The abyss mage hidden inside couldn't help but attack the imperial soldiers.

Those closed windows opened, and countless monsters made of flesh and blood crawled out from inside. All of them looked ferocious, like mutant zombies in Resident Evil.

These monsters twisted and crawled towards the imperial soldiers, and then magic fireballs and crossbow bolts shot out from the windows, and muskets crackled.

Tall war machines held shields overhead, protecting the driver and providing cover for soldiers behind. The imperial soldiers pushed the mechanical puppet beside them to their sides, used the puppet to attract the monster's attack, and drew their knives to look for opportunities to kill the monster.

The offensive team moves on.

At this time, the soil on the ground rolled up, and a huge earthworm with a diameter of two meters was drilled out of the ground, swallowing an imperial soldier in one bite. Then the giant earthworm twisted its body and crushed, knocking out a breakthrough in the neat team, the fearless monster broke through, and a commando team of imperial soldiers immediately fell into a hard fight.

Sinclair, who was standing outside, waved his hand, and a team composed of elite soldiers rushed in. These soldiers cooperated seamlessly and had extremely rich combat experience. Facing monsters with only killing instincts, they quickly gained the upper hand.

The giant earthworm was chopped into two pieces by a soldier. The two pieces of earthworm regrown into head and tail and continued to attack, but they were quickly cut into pieces that could not be regenerated under the attack of the elite team.

The counterattack of the abyss mage did not cause too many casualties to the imperial soldiers. The war machine led the team and rushed to the wall of the main building, and the professional soldiers stepped forward to prepare for the blast.

A steam airship sailed directly above the main building, and more than a dozen cylindrical objects were thrown from the gondola. The flying elite soldiers untied the ropes tied to their bodies and swooped down.

The column broke through the roof of the main building, leaving a hole where people could enter; the outer wall was blasted, and imperial soldiers with weapons rushed in; the airborne imperial soldiers landed on the roof and followed the opened hole break into.

A brutal battle rages on in the main building.

Sinclair looked at the time and was very satisfied with the speed at which his army had entered. He asked the follow-up soldiers to follow up, and then said to Qingkong: "Miss Qingkong, do you want to go in now, or wait until my soldiers find the entrance to the underground altar?"

"Go in now! I can feel the smell of the abyss here is getting stronger and stronger. The abyss mage must be preparing a large-scale secret technique. If released, it will destroy the entire city."

Qingkong took the Oulu mages to the battlefield.

Sinclair led a group of elite soldiers to follow. He threw out a sword light and split a sneak attacking monster into two pieces, and said courteously, "Miss Clear Sky, you can rest assured to deal with Morris, and leave the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers to me." .”

The clear sky enters the main building through the broken garden, as if entering another world.

The inner wall of the building is full of protrusions like blood vessels, and black liquid can be seen flowing inside. Where blood vessels converge, sarcoma will grow, and when the sarcoma bursts, a monster will emerge from it.

The monsters were spawned very fast, and the attacking imperial soldiers were in a bitter battle with the monsters.

Clear Sky summoned the spiritual magic ball, and the spiritual magic weapon fired fireballs like a fort with unlimited firepower, burning all monsters and tumors growing within the attack range.

The Oulu mages also released their magic one after another to help the trapped imperial soldiers.

Qingkong said to Sinclair who followed: "You take your people to guard here, don't let these monsters run out. Let's go to Morris, and only by killing him and destroying the altar can these monsters be prevented from growing.

Be careful that there are abyss mages hiding inside in the form of monsters, they can rely on these veins to move and attack quickly. "

Sinclair asked in surprise: "The abyss mage will become such a monster."

These flesh and blood monsters almost have no human appearance, who would turn themselves into this appearance.

Qingkong raised his hand and shot an ice pick, nailing a monster to the wall. That monster did not turn into blood and be absorbed by the blood vessels after death like other monsters, but its limbs became limp after struggling a few times.

"This is the influence of the abyss on a person. They have become like this before facing the abyss, and those who face the abyss will give up everything as a human being."

Sinclair knew that Qingkong was implying Emperor Augustine, so he immediately became serious: "Miss Qingkong, don't worry... just leave this to me."

"Do it well, you won't make you wait too long."

Qingkong took the Oulu mages to the depths of the main building, where there were imperial soldiers fighting monsters everywhere.

They killed monsters casually, and arrived in the middle room as if they were in no one's land.

This is a boxy room, without those disgusting blood vessels on the walls, no monsters, and naturally no soldiers.

"Jeffnie, close the door."

Jenny lifted her hood, turned and closed the door.

The others also lifted their hoods.

The four are Bruce Ban, Princess Dai, Princess Agatha, and Agatha's Maid of Honor.

Qing Kong asked Princess Dai: "Did you see anyone familiar?"

Dai'er's expression was serious, as if she was unwilling to believe what she had discovered. Finally she nodded and said, "I saw my attackers inside, and although I didn't see what they looked like at the time, they showed a lot of features when they retreated.

Brother Fania, he...how could he..."

The cruel reality dealt a big blow to Dai'er. She never thought that it was her brother who wanted to kill her, and the purpose was to kill his other sister.

Agatha stroked Dai'er's hair and said softly: "Dai'er, this is a cruel royal struggle. There are too many of these things in history. For the throne, some people can do anything."

Tears flowed from Dai'er's eyes. She leaned on Agatha's arms and cried, "But that's history. I never thought that the stories in those books would happen to me. Agatha, I'm afraid ..."

Agatha embraced Dai'er with a sad expression: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. You are the last kindness of the Augustine family. You are the princess I want to be but can't. I will not let you suffer any more harm." .

I think Miss Weatherlight will protect you too. There is also Governor Meteor, who will make those who bully you pay. "

Qingkong looked at the princesses and sisters who were hugging each other deeply. At this time, Agatha didn't have any vigor, she was just a sister who cared for her younger sister.

But the clear sky still broke this warm scene.

"If Princess Dai is willing, you can apply to His Majesty to continue studying at the Oulu Academy when you return to the palace. You are very smart and will definitely become an excellent master of secret arts.

Now we need to find Morris as soon as possible. If you don't kill him, there will be more and more monsters here. No matter what Fania did, your nephew Sinclair did not deserve to die here. "

Thinking of dealing with the abyss mage, Agatha wiped away her tears and put on the hood for Dai'er: "It is the responsibility of the Augustine family to guard the imperial capital and protect the subjects of the empire. You are the princess of the empire, do what you should do."

"Yes, Sister Agatha."

Agatha put on her hood, pulled out her sword in one hand, and took Dale with the other, and said to Qingkong, "Let's go and kill Morris!"

Qingkong said: "Then let's float!"

Qingkong chanted the spell, and there was the sound of mechanical gears turning around, and then the whole room turned upside down.

The six people used the levitation technique, and after the room stopped, they landed on the floor that was originally the ceiling.

Jenny, who was standing by the door, opened the door, and outside was no longer a melee battle scene, but a quiet and dark underground passage.

Without clear sky's orders, Jenny walked out with her magic wand. As she chanted the incantation, ghosts emerged from the walls on both sides of the passage.

Then Jenfernie let out a piercing, high-pitched cry, and the ghost flew forward down the tunnel.
