Chapter 365 The war begins!
Main Street of Red Maple City, Lane 36.
The entrance to the stronghold of "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond was originally guarded by "Priest" Howard of the Church's Holy Office and two "Triple Destiny" Holy Inquisitors for a long time.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Howard looked back.
Then, he gently leaned the long-handled war hammer on the ground, bowed slightly in the direction in front of him, and greeted:
"Bishop."
"..."
"I felt some unusual movements, Howard. You stay and work with the other 'Holy Judges' to clean up the aftermath here."
Luo Xiu looked at Howard, looked at him and said:
"I have burned the body of 'Bishop of Ring Flame' Drummond, and there is no remaining spirit. As for the materials, scrolls and equipment that can be recycled in this stronghold, I will leave it to you to deal with."
"Don't worry, Bishop." Howard responded, "I will make appropriate arrangements."
Luo Xiu nodded, then turned and left, riding the back of the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus, and soon disappeared from Howard's eyes.
……
On the way to the battlefield outside Red Maple City.
While riding the golden Pegasus quickly, Luo Xiu also paid close attention to the movements in the [Player Forum] to grasp first-hand battlefield intelligence.
His newly triggered [Dark Sky Haze (Hell Difficulty)] mission confirmed that the information previously given to him by "Thunder General" Albert was accurate.
Judging from the real-time discussions among the players, the Dark Army on the opposite side has indeed erected three flags belonging to the "Executioners", but only two of them actually appeared in their formation.
‘Silver-blooded Dragonborn’ Quilton and ‘Storm Lord’ Musette appeared in front of the battle formation—the former was a dragon hybrid of the [Red Lotus] destiny, and the latter was a giant warrior of the [Ku Tu] destiny.
They led a group of flying dragon riders and a group of giants respectively, and were about to approach the gates of Red Maple City.
The "Side Court" side is also fully prepared. Under the control of "Thunder General" Albert, 40,000 elite infantry, 1,000 [Supreme] campaign knights, and guard knights have formed in front of the city wall.
There are also the crossbow and warlock regiments on the battlements, the main infantry and cutting-edge cavalry regiments hidden in the city, ready to attack at any time. The defenders of Red Maple City are waiting for the arrival of the enemy with the same hatred.
Luo Xiu felt quite relieved after knowing the information before the battle through the [Player Forum].
With the strong walls and defensive advantages of Red Maple City, if the two armies confront each other, I will definitely have the advantage. The only thing Luo Xiu is worried about now is whether "Thunder General" Albert can withstand the combined efforts of the three executioners. storm.
Although there is no discussion about this general in the [Player Forum] yet - he should not have appeared yet. He will not give the enemy a thunderous blow until at least two executioners on the opposite side are approaching the city.
In Luo Xiu's expectation for Albert - he should not fall easily.
But Luo Xiu also knew another thing deeply. If he wanted to win the decisive battle as quickly as possible and with as little loss as possible, he had to rush to the front line of the battlefield as soon as possible. In Albert, he was fought to the limit by three "executors". Before the end, join this fierce battle!
"..."
Just thinking about this.
Luo Xiu kept paying attention to the trends in the [Player Forum] and [Chat Channel], and at the same time opened another panel - the "Mailbox" panel.
There, lying quietly, was the reward for killing Drummond, the "Bishop of Ringed Flame".
When he was in the stronghold, Luo Xiu didn't want to settle him immediately - he hadn't done the necessary 'metaphysics' yet, and a settlement without some sense of ritual would be incomplete!
But now I can’t control much of it.
Facing the threat of the three "executors", even he needed to respond at his best - at a certain moment, Luo Xiu made some determination in his heart and gave the "settlement" instruction.
[Kill "Bishop of Flame" Drummond (lv.51) and obtain 13423 basic experience points]

When the health of the specialty owner is lower than 20% of the maximum health value, he will no longer suffer the fire damage caused by the "Gift of the Blazing Ring", and No longer has the damage boost from the feat). 】
【……】
"...fuck?"
After giving the panel the command to resolve "Bishop of Ring Flame" Drummond, Luo Xiu, who did not perform a ritual "sacrifice", thought nothing good would come out.
But I didn’t expect—this time it would be an explosion of colorful lights!
This is not because of how powerful the specialty [Gift of the Blazing Ring] itself is, but simply because its effect is perfectly adapted to Luo Xiu - its negative effects can be perfectly avoided by Luo Xiu!
——Because the epic feat "Burning Steel Destroyer" previously obtained through the mission [Night of Molten Iron and Burning Steel] has provided up to 80% "Fire" damage reduction, plus this time, through the feat [Gift of the Blazing Ring] 】The 20% fire damage immunity that can be obtained, Luo Xiu's "fire" damage resistance will reach 100%!
At the same fate level, Luo Xiu will be completely immune to damage from ordinary "fire" attributes - thus being able to enjoy the 30% skill damage and effect bonus provided by [The Gift of the Blazing Ring] without damage!
Sweet!
After quickly browsing the refreshed content on the panel and thinking about it quickly in his mind, Luo Xiu gave the "confirm" instruction to the panel and confirmed the result of this settlement.
A burst of light and shadow floated on the panel interface, and the text about the settlement slowly dissipated. At the same time, the new epic feat [Gift of the Blazing Ring] appeared in Luo Xiu's character panel - "Specialty" column, turning into His new strength.
After that, Luo Xiu added all the accumulated free attribute points to the "divine" attribute, causing it to achieve a big jump - truly making the "divine" attribute value break through The "1500" mark.
Feeling that his own divine spirituality was also rising rapidly, every trace of flesh and blood in his body, and even every cell, was greedily sucking the powerful spirituality, Luo Xiu closed the panel with satisfaction.
At this moment, the increasingly approaching walls of Red Maple City had already drawn a clear outline in his eyes. He could already hear the roar coming from that section of the city wall.
The fierce fighting outside the city has begun.
……
Red Maple City Church.
After Thomas, Crocodile and other players returned to the church urgently, they received an urgent summons from their "Captain of the Holy Guard" Connor Ruane.
At this time, more than 30 quasi-"Saint Guardian" internal beta players and more than 600 new players who have just joined the peripheral "Church Patrol" have gathered in the inner courtyard of the church, waiting to go out of the city to carry out the task of blocking the attack. .
The "Bishop" of the church, Rossio Carlos, was away. At this time, all affairs in the church were fully handed over to the "Presiding Priest" Anthony. He then counted the number of priests who could go to war, and led the players and priests. The followers left the church in a mighty manner and headed outside Hongfeng City.
Along the way, Thomas could not conceal his excitement and was full of expectations for the next battle.
The same is true for the other closed beta players around him - when they had just returned to the church to report to "Captain of the Holy Guard" Connor Luen, Captain Connor also gave them a new task - let Each of them led twenty new "Church Patrol" players to form a highly mobile attack team!
Because the players are almost "immortal", captain Connor has assigned them the most difficult and dangerous mission. They may directly engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy's most elite battle groups, or they may divide into small groups and gradually eat away at the enemy's ordinary ordinary soldiers who have an absolute numerical advantage. Military formations, and these are tasks that Thomas loves to see.

While looking forward to it, Thomas and other players have followed the team of priests to the edge of the inner wall of Red Maple City.
The city gate was closed tightly, and two side gates were opened on both sides. The guarding knights had seen the clergy of the church from a distance, and they made way for them to pass.
"Presiding over the ceremony" Anthony nodded to the knights of the guard. Thomas, who was following the captain Connor, felt that the sharp eyes of the knights of the guard on both sides of the road had swept over him under their hooded helmets.
Those are all extraordinary beings with the [Supreme] triple destiny... Looking at him with such eyes, Thomas couldn't help but shudder even though he was a player.
Quickly, he passed through the side door, followed Connor across the swaying iron trestle, and arrived at the gravel plain, standing on the real battlefield.
He finally saw with his own eyes what kind of enemy the Red Maple City Fortress was going to face this time——
He saw that the edge of his field of vision was filled with yellow sand, and even though they were still very far apart, he could clearly see rows of figures like giant trees.
They were like hills armed with steel. Thomas roughly estimated that each of them was at least five meters long. Hundreds of huge rock-like bodies spread out in a line like this, which was quite visually impressive. The sense of oppression is like a city wall that is constantly trampling forward and crushing everything!
——That is [Giant Legion]!
And such military strength is not only on the ground, but also in the sky.
From the high sky, bursts of thunderous roars poured into Thomas's ears. He looked up and saw only patches of mottled red like flames, hovering and soaring in the sky!
——That's a dragon! A dragon whose body is as red as fire!
In the [Player Forum] and the chat channel, Thomas has heard that the incoming Dark Army has an elite group of "Dragon Riders". Although the discussion among players has been quite heated, the text and Pictures are never as impressive as seeing them in person.
"I'm crazy..."
While looking up, Thomas subconsciously sighed the quintessence of China.
The strength of the dark army that invaded Red Maple City this time was indeed much higher than during the internal beta test... The two most elite battle groups, how strong are the two "executors" who lead them...
< br>
Thomas sighed as thunderous sounds continued to pour into his ears, accompanied by violent tremors on the ground again and again.
The trembling feeling became more and more obvious - the "Giant Battle Group" of the Dark Army was getting closer and closer.
The dragon knights that were skimming in mid-air had also lowered their hovering altitude.
Until a deafening roar resounded through the sky!
"——Roar!!!"
A ball of flowing fire crashed down from the sky with this explosive roar!
It was the largest red dragon. Its wings spread out more than twenty meters and were burning with bright red flames. Another silver-gray figure stood on the dragon's back!
The silver-gray figure drove the red dragon and swooped over the battlements of Red Maple City. He seemed to be holding a double-helical giant sword in his hand, and traces of scarlet dragon thunder were bursting from the blade!
He was approaching quickly, and Thomas could clearly feel that the temperature around him was rising in an instant!
And Thomas had already "detected" the identity of the silver-gray figure through the panel at the first time.
——That is none other than one of the executioners, "Silver Blood Dragonborn" Quilton!
A huge sense of oppression had enveloped the air before Quilton's attack. At the same time that Thomas was detecting him, the red dragon he was overtaking was about to fall onto the city wall!
--boom! ! ! ! !
Smoke and dust filled the air, red mist surged up, and a huge roar followed like a wave!
But the city wall was still intact, and another figure escaped from the gap in the city wall, blocking the falling blow of the "Silver Blood Dragonborn"!
--clang! ! ! ! !
It was a figure holding a huge red sword high.
——That is the current supreme leader of "Bianting", "Thunder General" Albert!
"You are finally willing to show up... General of the 'Chief of the Round Table'..."
In the rolling red mist, "Silver-Blooded Dragonborn" Quilton and his silver-scaled dragon head made an excited voice:
"I know...it was you who killed Quild! Albert!!!"
"I saw...I saw his head! My brother's head..."
"He is dead...I will take his place! I will avenge him!!"
"I'm stronger than him!!!"
"Come to fight...come to bleed! Come to fight!!"
"Albert!!!!!!"
--clang! ! ! ! !
Thomas only heard a crashing sound like a bell, which resounded continuously in the sudden surge of red mist!
The sound was sharp and piercing, like gold and iron chiming together again and again. Dragon thunder and burning scarlet flames spread rapidly to the surroundings, but they were mostly blocked and offset by the barriers summoned by the warlocks in time.
And at the same time.
Right in front of Thomas, Connor, the "captain" of the Holy Guard, had taken off his warhammer from behind and pointed it to the opposite side - in the direction of the [Giants' Battle Group] which was less than 300 meters away from the city wall.
"My comrades——"
His eyes and war hammer were ignited with blazing fireworks, and his voice was firm and cold as he gave the first and only order:
"In the name of the great sun - the time of judgment has arrived!"
"——Charge!!!"
