Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

When Luo Xiu left the "Bishop's" tent, he also opened the panel and paid attention to the progress of the players' blasting in the "Kaffrey Fortress".

Before the crocodile reported this information to him, he had actually learned about the garrison situation and the configuration of the extraordinary people in the Kafrey Fortress through the panel's peek screen.

And the only thing he didn't know, or needed to confirm, was who the strongest extraordinary person stationed in the Kafrey Fortress was.

According to experience, it should be an executioner.

But because the time of the "Holy Expedition" was greatly advanced compared to the previous life, Luo Xiu did not completely believe in his memory.

And when the crocodile brought back the name "Zanska", it finally allowed Luo Xiu to confirm some things-

In the memory of the previous life, Zaska, the "Soul Reaper" of the fifth destiny of [Nothingness], should be the executioner guarding another border fortress.

But now it seems that there are indeed some changes in the garrison executioners at the border of the Dark Principality.

However, it is precisely because of this that after confirming the identity of the "executioner" stationed at the Kaveri Fortress, he finally put his mind at ease and went to the tent where "Thunder General" Albert was, so that he could formally discuss some decisions about conquering the Kaveri Fortress with the commander-in-chief of the Red Maple City Expeditionary Force.

"..."

Luo Xiu thought about this.

At the same time, he gradually quickened his pace, and the cold wind in the middle of the night blew past his cheeks, making him feel a little cold and slightly stinging.

And the guards of the surrounding "border" knights were also patrolling the camp in teams of three or five people.

They were holding torches in one hand, and the light they emitted illuminated the surroundings, warming the slightly "frozen" night wind a little.

When the patrolling Royal Guards passed by "Bishop" Luo Xiu, they stopped and respectfully saluted Luo Xiu with the [Supreme] military salute.

Luo Xiu always responded to them with a smile, and then walked towards the tent where "Thunder General" Albert was.

When more and more "Royal Guards" passed by Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu could see four "Throne Knights" wearing black and red heavy armor standing outside a red tent like statues,

he had already arrived in front of Albert's central army tent.

And a "Throne Knight" he was familiar with, Frosa, who was wearing black armor and holding a double-edged giant axe, took a step from his guard post and came to Luo Xiu when he saw "Bishop" Luo Xiu coming.

Frosa saluted Luo Xiu respectfully and sent a low and hoarse greeting:

"Greetings, respected bishop."

Luo Xiu nodded slightly in response, and then asked Frosa:

"Is General Albert in the tent? I have something to discuss with him."

"..."

"I understand, please follow me."

Frosa nodded, and the armor plates on his neck touched each other lightly, making a crisp sound.

Then, he turned around and handed over the duty of vigilance to the other three "throne knights" who were on guard at the same time, and then came to Luo Xiu, put the battle axe behind his back, bowed slightly, and made a "please" gesture.

Then, he turned to the curtain of the big tent and walked in at the same time.

Luo Xiu followed behind Frosa, and when he opened the curtain, he followed him and walked into Albert's tent.

In this central army tent, the atmosphere was solemn as if the thick ink had not dried yet.

The air was filled with a serious atmosphere from the battlefield, leather, rust, and a faint smell of blood, interweaving into a strong, naturally awe-inspiring smell.

Luo Xiu's eyes then looked slightly into the big tent--

There were two weapon racks on the far sides of the big tent, with battle axes, heavy swords, spears and other battlefield weapons displayed in order; in a corner of the tent were several neatly stacked sheepskin scrolls, which were unfinished battle reports and secret orders.

An adjutant lowered his head and worked busy, his pen rustling on the paper, as if recording something.

Two "throne knights" stood on the left, and two "high judges" stood on the right, all of them standing with solemn eyes and serious expressions;

Generally speaking, the eight high-ranking people of the [Supreme] Fourfold Fate of the Border Court would not all gather here like today.

"Thunder General" Albert, he should have just called them together and was holding a strategic meeting with them... Luo Xiu thought.

In the middle of the four people with the fourfold destiny [Supreme], "Thunder General" Albert was sitting on a wide chair covered with wolf skin, looking deeply at the table in front of him and at a bear skin map unfolded on it.

There were several dim oil lamps scattered around, reflecting the stern face of "Thunder General" Albert, which was covered with battle scars.

His eyes pierced through the dark yellow light like a sword and fell on the map. His fingers tapped lightly, as if thinking about something.

When "Throne Knight" Frosa led "Bishop" Ross Carlos into the tent, General Albert raised his head, and his sharp eyes passed through Frosa's side and fell directly on Ross.

"Greetings, General."

Frosa's armor made a rustling sound again, and he immediately knelt on one knee and reported to General Albert:

"Bishop Ross Carlos is looking for you to discuss important matters with you."

As he said this, Albert's eyes were still on the back of Frosa and on the "bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos.

And Albert's stern and serious face finally showed a slight smile the moment Luo Xiu came in.

"You are here, Luo Xiu."

Albert greeted in a low and gentle voice.

And Luo Xiu nodded lightly, and he bowed slightly to Albert as a response to his greeting.

"Greetings to you as well, Lord Albert."

He greeted Albert in return, and said with a smile on his face:

"I seem to have interrupted the meeting you were having?"

"It doesn't matter, Luo Xiu."

Albert responded gently, with the dim light of the lamp flashing in his pupils, and asked Luo Xiu in a low and gentle voice:

"Then, Frosa said that you have something important to see me."

"What do you want to see me for, Luo Xiu?"

"..."

When Albert said this, Luo Xiu looked at the "Knights of the Throne" and "Grand Inquisitors" on both sides at the same time.

Albert understood what Luo Xiu meant, so he ordered them:

"You should withdraw first, I have something to discuss with His Excellency the Bishop."

"Yes, General."

The "Knights of the Throne" and "Grand Inquisitors" then left the tent one by one, and Frosa finally closed the curtain,

and Luo Xiu had come to the table opposite Albert, pulled out the wolfskin chair and sat down.

"The church's 'Guardians' have already found out the specific defenses in the Kaveri Fortress."

He said to Albert directly:

"This is the first pass we encountered in the 'Holy Expedition'. And now, the church's 'Guardians' are still in the Kaveri Fortress, repeatedly causing heavy damage to their garrisons."

"Only the 'Guardians' have returned to the church's camp and reported this to me, and also told me the name of the 'Executioner' stationed in the Kaveri Fortress."

"..."

"You already know?"

Albert's eyes flashed with surprise.

What he discussed with other [Supreme] people in the "Border" before was how to conquer the fortress in the shortest possible time.

The biggest problem is the lack of intelligence and the fact that the fortress is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And now-it has been proven feasible to let the "Adventers" directly climb the Andrian Blackstone Mountains and fly into the fortress like a bird with wings spread.

This is also the tactic personally proposed to Albert by the bishop of the "Red Maple City Church", the camp with the most "Adventers".

Luo Xiu smiled indifferently, crossed his hands and rested them on his chin, and said to Albert:

"——Zanska."

"The fifth-level destiny of [Nothingness], 'Soul Taker' Zaska, this is the destiny, occupation and name of the greatest executioner stationed in Kaveri Fortress."

"..."

"It's Zaska..."

Albert's face was solemn, and he also knew the name of this "executioner".

And that is the executioner of [Nothingness] -

Just as [Abyss] is completely opposite to [Glory], [Red Lotus] is completely opposite to [Bitter Tea], the destiny of [Nothingness] is exactly the opposite of [Supreme].

Albert then listened to "Bishop" Luo Xiu say:

"I know, facing a [Nothingness] - Lord Albert. As the [Supreme], it should not be easy for you to deal with him."

"They are cunning, absurd and unruly unbelievers. You can't control them, but they can affect you in turn."

"..."

"Indeed." Albert nodded.

The extraordinary people who embarked on the fate of [Nothingness] do not have extremely tough souls like the people of [Supreme].

Their souls are like holes, and it is difficult for them to be penetrated, captured and controlled by the "decree" of [Supreme].

Therefore, the "Edict" will not have much effect on the extraordinary people of the same level in [Nothingness].

On the contrary, the extraordinary people in [Nothingness] can make the extraordinary people in [Supreme] lose themselves in illusions. The tenacious souls of the Supremes are often regarded as playthings or nourishment by the believers of [Nothingness].

In the previous defense of Red Maple City, the saint from [Nothingness], "Crow of Despair" Astralis, had made Albert deeply trapped in this kind of pain.

That might be the Dark Duke, or a "Chief Executioner" who governs the Kaveri Fortress, an executioner specially arranged for Albert.

Luo Xiu thought to himself, he looked at the "Thunder General" Albert opposite him with his brows tightly furrowed, and then a smile appeared on his face and said:

"So, what should you do, General?"

"..."

"If possible,"

Albert replied, "I would like you to deal with him, deal with that [Nothingness]'s 'Soul Taker' Zanska, Luo Xiu."

This is what Luo Xiu wanted to hear.

He then smiled and nodded, saying:

"Okay, I will deal with that [Nothingness]'s Executioner, deal with the 'Soul Taker' Zanska."

"And the expeditionary force cannot stay here for too long."

"While my 'Saint Guardians' and the hundreds of new warriors of the 'Border' are shaking the defense of the Kaveri Fortress, I suggest taking this opportunity to launch the first round of attacks on the Kaveri Fortress."

"..."

"I do think so, Luo Xiu."

Albert nodded, but there was still doubt on his face and said:

"But it is still difficult for us to break through the walls of Caffrey Fortress in a short period of time. Unless - the 'Saint Guardians' of your church who infiltrated Caffrey Fortress can open the fortress' gate from the inside."

"It's not difficult, Sir Albert."

The smile on Luo Xiu's face did not diminish and he said to Albert:

"You can believe in the church, believe in my clergy, or at least believe in me."

"My 'Saint Protectors' will definitely be able to solve the obstacles of the city wall."

"It's just that I need some help from you - a little help."

"What?"

Albert then raised his head, looked at Luo Xiu with his eyes reflecting the dim light, and asked.

"I need you to give an order to all the 'battle knights' and 'praetorian knights' - to accompany you to attack the city tonight, and not to delay it until dawn."

Luo Xiu stopped smiling, his expression became serious, and said:

"In addition, hand over all the [Martyr's Skulls] in stock to me, and ask the alchemists and rune magicians accompanying the army in the 'Oblate Monument' to rush to make a new batch of [Martyr's Skulls]. That is an important "The most important thing."

"Finally it's money - I need a lot of money, but I think that's the least of the problems."

"..."

"[Skull of the Martyr]..."

Albert looked solemn.

The other requests made by Luo Xiu were easily satisfied, but the [Skull of the Martyr] made Albert feel a little embarrassed.

What he knew was that [Skull of the Martyr] was a great killing weapon developed by the 'Tower of Sages'.

——It requires an extraordinary person with at least the third level of [Glory] to inject a large amount of "annihilation" spirituality into it to cause an extremely terrifying explosion.

And the reason why it is named [Martyr's Skull] is that at the beginning of its design, supernatural beings with annihilation spirituality and [Brilliance] third-level destiny or above were poured into it. This was to cause [Martyr's Skull] to be terrorized and annihilated. The "fuel" part of the explosion.

The priest who activates the [Skull of the Martyr] is mortal and will be sacrificed for "blooming", and this is the true meaning of "martyrdom".

Now, Luo Xiu mentioned this rune creation again, but it made Albert feel hesitant.

Even though he knew that the [Skull of the Martyr] perfectly matched the near-immortal characteristics of the church's "Saint Protectors", Albert always felt that something was wrong and had a chill in his back.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

The "Bishop" Rossio Carlos on the opposite side still had a gentle smile on his face, and continued to say to Albert with a harmless expression and tone:

"There is no need to worry about my priests. I am the same as you - I will never let my colleagues make fearless sacrifices."

"What's more, this is not a sacrifice."

"..."

"I understand." Albert nodded.

Reason made him clearly understand that what the "Bishop" said was indeed the best and fastest way to conquer the Caffrey Fortress.

So he suppressed the faint feeling of panic in his heart and agreed to the suggestion of "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos——

"I will give the order to fight."

Albert said:

"All the 'battle knights' and 'guard knights' in the 'side court' will act together with the priests of your church."

"And the army is coming soon. I hope you have solved the obstruction of the strong wall of Caffrey Fortress before we arrive at the city."

…

Around three in the morning.

Just two hours after the "Bishop" of the church, Rossio Carlos, went to "General Thunder" Albert's tent,

In the church’s tent, scholars from the ‘Fangbeiyuan’ accompanied the army were welcomed.

They controlled the transport golem and transported ten baskets of [Skulls of Martyrs]——

According to the previous instructions of "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos, these rune creations containing terrifying annihilation energy must be ensured to be handed over to the "Saint Protectors".

…

"The crocodile is stewed in an iron pot." He was still in the church camp at this time, waiting for the time to slip towards the real zero-ten minutes.

——March 18, 768 in the Apocalypse Calendar. The real time corresponding to this day is Sunday.

And at four o'clock in the morning the next day, it was the time of "resurrection cooldown" and the beginning of the week that was about to be refreshed.

At this time, the predator had just received a brand-new Paladin sword of "master" quality, and was familiar with the feel of the new weapon's cutting and releasing skills in the church's camp.

At the same time, he was waiting, waiting for the resurrection cooldown time to be refreshed, then he would mount his armored horse again and fight back to Caffrey Fortress.

It was in the [Chat Channel] that the predators already knew that the "Saint Guardians" like Thomas and others who were still in the Caffrey Fortress and killing randomly had killed many second- and third-level people. The dark extraordinary person likes to have a lot of experience.

This makes the predator, who has been forced to "die" because he died too many times, feel sore.

And just as he was staring at the passage of time, he was preparing to mount his horse again at close to four o'clock in the morning and fight his way back to Caffrey Fortress.

The curtain of the tent where he was located was opened by two clergymen and they walked in.

Behind them are four scholars from the "Fangbeiyuan" who are accompanying the army. They seem to be escorting a "golem" that looks like a wooden cow.

And the special steel boxes are fixed on the backs of those "Wooden Ox" golems, with [Skulls of Martyrs] placed inside them like egg troughs.

When he saw the red spheres engraved with complex runes, the predator's heart skipped a beat.

"'Stewing a giant crocodile in an iron pot', I am here to inform you of your new mission according to the Bishop's instructions."

The clergyman who came said:

"To all the 'Saint Protectors' who are in the camp at this time, the bishop hopes that you can transport this batch of [Skulls of Martyrs] to the edge of Caffrey Fortress as much as possible."

"There are a total of one hundred [Martyr's Skulls] in this batch. The bishop has agreed with General Albert to launch a general attack on the Caffrey Fortress before dawn, and your task is to wait until the army arrives at the Caffrey Fortress. Before entering the city, destroy the strong wall."

"The bishop knows that you have some 'god-given' characteristics, so only you can complete this task."

"The bishop promises you that when you return from completing your mission, you will be given rewards that match your merits."

"..."

The priest relayed the mission to the predator like this, and at the same time, a burst of light and shadow floated in front of the predator, and his panel triggered a new mission prompt——

[Trigger commissioned mission: Kaffrey Copper Wall (Nightmare Difficulty)]

[Recommended level: lv.20+, triple destiny and above]

[Task Type: Delegated Task]

[You have received news that the Red Maple City Expeditionary Force led by Albert will launch a general attack on Caffrey Fortress before dawn.

At the same time, you have received a commission from "Bishop" Rossio Carlos relayed by the clergy of the "Church".

"Bishop" Rossiu Carlos hopes that you and the other "Saint Protectors" who are in the camp can be responsible for transporting the new batch of [Skulls of Martyrs] to the edge of Caffrey Fortress, and find and hand them over to Other methods of [Glory] triple destiny "Saint Protector".

Before the expedition army actually reaches the city of Caffrey Fortress, the bishop hopes that you will have already breached the strong wall of Caffrey Fortress from the inside. 】

[Mission Objective 1: Transport a new batch of 100 [Skulls of Martyrs] to the designated location - the wall of Caffrey Fortress (current progress: 0/100)]

[Mission Objective 2: Carry the [Skull of the Martyr] and detonate it next to the wall of Kaffrey Fortress until the wall of the fortress is completely destroyed (current progress: 0%)]

[When mission goal two is completed ahead of schedule, mission goal one is deemed to be completed]

[When the progress of task goal two reaches more than 60%, the task can be settled]

[Completion reward: basic experience +36,000, free attribute points +3, each person causes 1% damage to the walls of Caffrey Fortress, additional basic experience +10,000, free attribute points +1]

[If the wall of Caffrey Fortress is successfully destroyed, all 'Saints' participating in the task will receive "rare" quality expertise*1; the 'Saints' who complete the last 1% of the destruction of Caffrey's wall will receive "Epic" Quality expertise*1】

【……】

——Ouch!

The predator's eyes suddenly burst into light the moment the mission [Kaffrey Copper Wall] was refreshed on the panel!

Guaranteed experience is 36,000, three free attribute points, and a "rare" quality expertise. If you give it a try, you can even get an "epic" quality expertise. This is a good mission!

In addition to the mission, after the walls of the Caffrey Fortress are actually breached, the "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos will also give them other rewards that are worthy of their achievements!

And the reward given by the "Bishop" is not bad!

"..."

The predator was thinking about this excitedly.

According to the thinking of ordinary players, they are generally not willing to accept this kind of death mission.

But it gives too much.jpg

Opposite the predator, a solemn, even somewhat sad expression appeared on the face of the priest. He believed in his heart that transporting and detonating the [Skull of the Martyr] was tantamount to a feat of martyrdom.

"I see."

The predator nodded and agreed to the cleric's request.

And he immediately opened the [Chat Channel] and sent a message to the church camp's player channel——

[Stewing Crocodile in Iron Pot]: New mission, come quickly! .jpg

[Youyou Nanshan]: Here we come

[My cat can do backflips]: I’ll do it!

[Sunshine Girl Sylvie]: Come here

【……】：……

The predator directly used the panel to summon other "Saint Guardian" players who were in the camp at this time.

Soon, many players came to the camp where the predator was.

They handed over the transportation golem from the scholars of "Fangbeiyuan", and then the predator and more than 70 "Saint Guardian" players mounted the church's war horses, transported a new batch of [Skulls of Martyrs], and went to Ka He rushed in the direction of Fortress Free under the moonlight.

And when they walked farther and farther until the outline of the church camp was gradually lost sight of, the predator and other "Saint Protector" players got off their horses and activated the Isol mark on the back of their hands.

They were directly transported to the "Holy Abyss" together with the [Skull of the Martyrs], and then left the Holy Abyss, mounted their horses again, and then galloped in the direction of the Caffrey Fortress lightly.

…

Around four in the morning.

After Luo Xiu came out of "Thunder General" Albert's tent, he went directly back to the church's tent and asked the three priests to summon all the clergymen with "second-level destiny" and above.

All the priests quickly gathered on the plain in front of the camp and mounted their white horses.

The [Supreme] knights in the side court have already received orders from General Albert, and before dawn approaches, they all obey the orders of "Bishop" Luo Xiu.

The church, the side court, and the warlocks accompanying the army at the Tablet Monument, a total of thousands of elite extraordinary team, then rode horses from two directions and moved quickly in the direction of Caffrey Fortress.

Luo Xiu rode the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus. He approached the Andrian Blackstone Mountains from one side and galloped like lightning. At the same time, he paid attention to the movements of the players on the panel——

Previously, he had asked the priests to lead the scholars of the "Fangbeiyuan" to designate the batch of [Skulls of Martyrs] to be handed over to the predators, and through the panel, he had simultaneously sent the batch of [Skulls of Martyrs] to the predators and other related people. players issued tasks.

And at the same time - while he was leading the priests of the "Church" and the [Supreme] Knights of the "Side Court" in a secret charge towards the Caffrey Fortress, the predator had already summoned other players. , successfully transported the one hundred [Martyr's Skulls] to the edge of Kaffrey Fortress using the "Holy Abyss" as a transfer station.

And at about half past four——

When the outline of Caffrey Fortress appeared vaguely in the sight of all the clergymen and [Supreme] Knights.

--boom! ! ! ! !

They first saw that the walls of Caffrey Fortress suddenly burst into scarlet and golden light, and then, a thunderous sound shook the sky.

And that's just the beginning.

--boom! ! !

——Boom! ! Boom boom boom! ! !

Increasingly dense explosions resounded one after another!

The terrifying surge of annihilation light stirred the air, causing the priests and [Supreme] Knights to feel the slightest bit of heat even when they were far away.

The ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaking violently, as if some kind of pent-up anger was being released wantonly.

The eyes of the priests and [Supreme] Knights flashed with shock, knowing that it was the "Saint Protectors" of the church who had successfully detonated the "Skull of the Martyr"!

--boom! ! !

The ever-expanding and surging light mist has now overflowed the Kaffrey Fortress, making its outline appear to be burning with ominous light.

It was as if the night was being ignited, and the deep night was soon illuminated like day!

And the indestructible, copper-walled Fortress of Kaffrey was finally torn open by horrific annihilation explosions again and again!

--boom! ! !

——Boom, boom, boom! ! ! ! !

The detonation of annihilation is still continuing, and every horrific bombing will be accompanied by a quite violent shock to the wall of Kaffrey Fortress!

Luo Xiu had seen from a distance that the gap in the fortress wall was getting wider and more precarious.

Until a certain moment——

Boom! ! ! ! !

A quarter of the solid wall finally collapsed completely in the final intensive roar.

At the same time, Luo Xiu, who was riding the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus, rose into the sky and flew towards the huge crack in the Caffrey Fortress.

Right in Luo Xiu's field of vision——

At the same time, he saw another gray figure finally rising into the air from the depths of the fortress.

——That is the "Executioner" and the "Soul Sealer" of [The Void], Zaska!

He finally appeared, with an expression of disbelief, shock and anger on his face.

…
