My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu
Chapter 422 Golden Thunder
Kingdom of Ribia, city of Dunkirk.
A ray of setting sun shone slantingly, and countless red mirrors lit up on the Taine River blown by the breeze.
The combat command room was buzzing with people, and many bishops from the Church of the God of Knowledge were having heated discussions.
Archbishop Mario said loudly:
"After more than ten days of fighting, I believe you all must have felt the intensity of the battle with the murlocs.
Our soldiers suffered heavy losses, but the fishmen continued to attack.
Everyone, give up. Staying here will only make us lose more.
Many murlocs have already crossed the Dunkirk defense line and are heading north. If we stay here for too long, the murlocs will send more powerful troops to gnaw on our hard bone. "
"I think it's best for us to hold on longer. As long as we stay here, we can contain more murlocs and buy more time for the rear to retreat."
"I agree with Archbishop Sterman's point of view. Trying to hold on as long as possible can buy more time for the rear to establish a new line of defense."
"Seconded."
"idiot!"
Mario hammered the table with his fist angrily. He knew the thoughts of these people who fit in with Stroman.
These people are all bishops whose family focus is in the west of the kingdom. The longer Dunkirk persists, the more time their families have to relocate.
The valuable materials have been moved, but the relocation of bulk goods will take time. At present, airship resources in the country are tight, and the relocation speed is very slow.
Don't these people know it's dangerous to stay here? ! Of course, no one is a fool, and everyone is well aware of the increasingly severe combat situation.
It's just that they believe that even if they encounter an unstoppable enemy, they can escape by airship, regardless of the fact that there are still so many fighting soldiers who are not qualified to escape by airship when force majeure comes.
Humph, wouldn’t you just cooperate with us honestly? The corners of Steman’s lips were slightly raised, and a sneer flashed across his face:
"We are all colleagues, how about Archbishop Mario's self-cultivation?"
"Shit, screw your self-restraint!"
Mario left the meeting angrily. Sooner or later, these church moths would rid the ship of the church full of holes.
Before arriving here, the Pope summoned him alone and hinted to him his intention, which was to abandon Dunkirk and many western provinces early.
When the minions of the evil god completely occupy the land of the Hinterlands Kingdom, they will face the impact of the murloc army.
Even the seat of the Church of the Storm Lord could not hold its own against the onslaught of murloc troops coming in like a tide, let alone Dunkirk.
The reason why we can still hold on now is because the real main force of the fishmen has not yet gone north.
Mario walked out of the combat command room. At this moment, the last rays of the sun were about to dissipate, and gray fog was already rising.
Now the setting sun can no longer dispel the fog, which is not a good sign.
"Why"
With a sigh, Mario left with a heavy heart. He still had to organize the soldiers for the night's battle.
Soon, in the land occupied by gray fog, only the city's protective array shone dimly.
An hour later, Mario, who was patrolling the city wall, frowned. In the past, the murlocs had launched an attack, but today there was no movement.
Something went wrong, and his heartstrings became even tighter.
Another hour passed and there was still no fighting.
The bishops realized something was wrong and gathered for a meeting to discuss it.
As the commander-in-chief of frontline defense, Stemann spoke first:
"Bishop Mario, you were a battlefield observer in the Hinterlands Kingdom. Did you encounter any kind of situation?"
"No," Mario shook his head. Even if he couldn't understand the other party, he had to answer.
He paused and continued:
"Sometimes the fishmen's offensive will be weak, but sporadic battles will always break out at night, and I don't know what will happen next."
Everyone discussed for a long time, but no one could come up with a solution. Sterman had no choice but to give the order:
"The notice continues, the night watch system will be strictly enforced tonight, and even those who have taken a break must remain alert and ready to fight at any time.
The center of the asylum circle ensures that a bishop is on duty every second, and no one is allowed to leave his post without permission.
If something irreparable happens due to absence without permission, don't blame me for turning against you. "
Time ticked by, and it soon came to three o'clock in the morning.
Some soldiers on the city wall began to doze off due to sleepiness. After many days of high-intensity fighting, many people could fall asleep while standing.
In the central control room of the asylum circle, Archbishop Abbas's eyes were fighting.
He stood up, stretched out, and patted his face gently with his palm:
"No, I'll fall asleep if I keep sitting. I have to wash my face.
Bill, help me keep an eye on the circle for a while and yell if there is any situation. "
"Okay, Your Excellency," the guard nodded hurriedly.
Abbas walked out of the room, and the guard stood in front of the monitoring circle. Suddenly he saw a thick shadow coming out of the river, and deep blackness occupied his field of vision.
Over the city, the rich blackness formed the shadow of a huge octopus monster.
Bill didn't know what would happen next. He only knew that he felt a strong malice coming through the magic circle, and he let out a miserable howl:
"archbishop!"
Without his calling, Abbas felt the malice falling from the sky the moment darkness fell.
He rushed into the main control room, pushed away the guard who was blocking the way, and without hesitation pressed the button to increase the power output of the protection circle, holding it down for all his life.
On the city wall, the sleeping soldiers were awakened by the lingering malice. They opened their eyes in a daze and found darkness over the city.
They found that they could not make any movement, their bodies seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, their blood seemed to be congealed, and they were frozen in place.
The protective circle failed to stop the invasion of evil aura, and the humans outside the circle shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, like corpses that had been hung on a tree to dry for a long time.
The gray-white soul was extracted, and the aura of despair began to fill the air, quickly spreading to the center of the city.
Souls were like flying raindrops, sinking into the mouth of the octopus shadow above the city, and a huge creature emerged from the water near the city.
The upper body looks like a deep diver, with limbs, and a pair of dark green eyes as big as a water tank staring at the city.
Long gray-green tendrils hang down from its huge flat head. There are two rows of hard dorsal fins on its back, and a huge snake tail is coiled like a cobra.
This creature seems to be as light as a feather, floating entirely on the water.
The power of the asylum circle has been increased to the maximum. The holy light emitted by the circle is in a stalemate with the darkness outside, and a clear black and white dividing line appears in the city.
Abbas looked anxiously at the flickering light at the edge of the protective circle, and unconsciously clenched his hands tightly.
Cthulhu is the evil god most familiar to humans on the mainland. What dependents he has are also recorded by various churches.
The ferocious and cold image of Dagon appeared in front of his eyes, and Abbas felt that his whole body was dominated by fear. Dagon was a sixth-level member of the evil god, and he was not something they could resist.
"Ogma, the omniscient god of knowledge, I pray to you, asking you to send mercy to save your humble followers."
The only thing he could do at this moment was to pray to the gods. It was still unknown whether Dunkirk's protective circle could stop Dagon's attack.
The magic circle here had no problem against fifth-level enemies, and could withstand attacks from sixth-level enemies for a period of time, but facing Dagon, he didn't have the slightest confidence in his heart.
Abbas felt extremely regretful. If he had followed Mario's advice and evacuated the city early, he would have ended up in this situation.
Sterman looked up at the sky and saw souls being swallowed by the dark shadows of the sky, despair flashing in his eyes.
The sixth-level Dagon appeared, which he didn't expect. In this situation, even if he wanted to leave by airship, it was impossible.
"Damn these idiots from the intelligence department, didn't they say that they only meet Dagon on the night of the red moon?!"
He cursed loudly, praying in his heart that the protective circle could hold on. As long as he got through tonight's difficulties, he would immediately roll up his bed and leave tomorrow morning.
Mario leaned on the city wall, looking at the magic circle whose radiation range was being compressed step by step with an expressionless face, feeling sad in his heart.
‘It’s all over. ’
Compared with those who still hold on to a glimmer of hope, he understands the horror of Dagon better.
Sinsaro City in the Hinterland Kingdom was the first city destroyed by Dagon. The defense there was much stronger than that of Dunkirk, but it was still swept by Dagon.
Sinsaro fell a year ago. As the spiritual concentration of the world increases, Dagon's power will only become stronger now.
The phantom of Dagon above the city and the entity of Dagon on the river exerted force at the same time. The gray fog with a radius of more than ten miles was condensed into seven shadow beads. The whole world became clear, and people in the city saw dots of stars in the sky.
The brilliant starry sky was their last memory. The shadow beads fell on the light shield of the protective circle, just like the clear water in the basin smeared with a few drops of black ink.
The ink marks spread at an extremely fast speed. Mario saw that the light shield of the protective circle was instantly corroded to create a large hole, and then the boundless darkness submerged him, and his consciousness sank into the abyss.
The black shadow in the sky turned into a stream of light and fell into Dagon's body. It burped with satisfaction and submerged into the Taine River.
There was silence in Dunkirk, and the human bodies with their souls taken away were scattered into black ashes.
The gray fog once again occupied the sky, blocking the light of stars falling from the sky.
The Taina River still flows quietly, with large shadows appearing under the river surface. The murlocs follow the trend of the deep divers and swim upstream, pouring into the territory of the Kingdom of Ribia.
Kingdom of Farouk, Town of Lorent.
The red moon falls, and the earth is covered with a scarlet veil.
Crown stood on the sky, watching the fight between the fishmen and the defenders below.
He did not release the magic of flying. He only relied on the sixth-level transcendent's understanding of the law to hover in the air. He completely restrained his power, and the gray mist obscured his figure.
Janice was fighting a fourth-level deep diver. The enemy's strength completely overwhelmed her, and she could only hold on.
If Buster hadn't occasionally restrained the enemy, she would have been killed by the enemy long ago.
"Meow."
The black cat let out a cry, and Janice understood what the black cat meant. She was very talented in animal training and could understand what the black cat expressed without training.
She knew that the cat was worried about her safety, but she did not accept the other party's kindness and shouted:
"You only need to contain the enemy when I am in danger. I have the Clear Heart Pendant and the Diamond Pendant given by the Bishop, which is equivalent to an extra life."
She felt that she was only one step away from the perfection of the origin of life. Now that she met this enemy, she just used pressure to help her practice.
Crown's eyes passed through the gray fog, and he felt a big guy staying on the coast. The enemy's aura was so familiar, and he was clearly the member of the evil god who was injured by him last time.
It seems that your wound has healed, haha, the scar healed and the pain was forgotten. He lowered his eyes and guarded against the enemy.
The enemy was in the sea. If he attacked, even if he could injure the enemy again, he could not kill him. If the enemy was willing to cooperate with him to attack the town, it would be the best time for him to attack.
If the Spear of the Sun reached the second level, he would be sure to cause great damage to the enemy at this distance, otherwise launching an attack from such a distance would only alert the enemy.
He left part of his attention on the evil god's followers and shifted the focus to Janice.
Through his spiritual vision, he felt that the light of life on the other party was constantly accumulating. If it accumulated to a certain extent, the light of life would burst out, and half a foot would step into the threshold of the silver level.
As long as the sublimation ceremony was held, he would definitely be able to advance to the silver level.
The silver priest who was less than sixteen years old had unlimited prospects. Such talent was even better than those direct members of the Golden Family. After all, the other party did not receive any extraordinary teaching when he was a child, and there were no resources for training.
Janice was wearing golden armor with a blooming red pattern on it. This set of equipment was forged from some iron essence that her father obtained from Clown and was stained with golden light.
The armor looked thin, but its defense was amazing. Its light weight did not affect the owner's movements at all.
Her weapon was not the standard flail of a priest, but a heavy sword, which was also shining with golden light and engraved with the evil-killing seal.
Holding a golden shield in her left hand, she looked like a Valkyrie walking down from a picture.
Janice wielded the nearly fifty-pound heavy sword with great vigor. She still attacked bravely against the silver-level enemy.
The Deep Diver was very frustrated. He had all the strength but could not cause fatal damage to the opponent.
Now its physical strength began to decline, while the opponent was replenished with potions and performed as bravely as when the battle just started.
Fierce in heart, the Deep Diver decided to take a risky move. He did not dodge the enemy's heavy sword, but instead rushed forward with open arms.
Even if the enemy's weapon pierced its body, it could slowly recover, but the enemy would be dead if it hugged it.
Although Janice was not panicked in the face of the mutation, she slapped the shield with force, and then retreated with the help of the reaction force.
After retreating two steps, she shouted and pressed forward again, slashing the heavy sword.
Buster rushed forward at the right time and used the secret technique to shake the enemy's soul.
Janice's heavy sword cut the enemy's throat, and dark green blood sprayed out. After defeating the strong enemy, her life light suddenly burst out, and a bright silver light flashed.
At this moment, the sound of waves sounded, and a giant monster with a strange head and as tall as a three-story building rushed over.
Its torso resembled a human creature. It had no head but a group of tentacles. In the middle was an eye the size of a human head, shining with a faint blue light.
Janice felt her soul frozen, and the power of the evil law rushed into her sea of consciousness.
She had a clear understanding in her heart. If the enemy succeeded, she would become a puppet controlled by the enemy, and Janice would no longer exist, replaced by the evil consciousness parasitic in her body.
The diamond pendant on her chest emitted a golden light to protect her body, and the cool power of the heart pendant rained cold spirits in her sea of consciousness, purifying the evil laws.
"Meow!"
Buster's hair stood up all over his body. He felt the enemy's strength and his limbs trembled constantly.
'Run. '
Janice immediately left the heavy sword behind, picked up the shield and hugged the black cat next to him and fled back.
She knew from the power of the enemy that she was completely unable to fight. They had only hope of survival if they hid in the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array in the town before the enemy caught up with her.
But is it too late?
She turned her head and saw the monster, which was half as close as before, and despair rose in her heart.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she saw a golden thunderbolt falling from the sky, lighting up the foggy night sky.
"The bishop is here!"
Janice stopped running, and a ray of hope rose in her eyes.
