Chapter 396 Christine's Choice
The Paladin, who has been dealing with demons all year round, is very adaptable to the demon's teleportation ability.
Normally, they would never be distracted by the sudden arrival of demons, because this is a sneak attack tactic used by demons.
If he loses consciousness as soon as there is a teleport, then the paladin does not need to go to the battlefield.
But when Sellon was about to take Christian away, these paladins really hesitated.
First, they had never encountered a demon that could transport people.
Secondly, although this group of paladins was ordered to protect Christine, no one really wanted to accept this task. They instinctively rejected this task.
If it were Xu Lai and the Paladins of the Sixth Knights, this situation would be unlikely to occur.
It is not that these paladins can be bribed by the favor given by Xu Lai.
But they can feel Xu Lai's fairness and justice internally and his absolute partiality externally.
They can sincerely feel Xu Lai's respect for them. Such a commander, even if it is temporary, can be loved and respected by everyone.
Frustrated Christine, for a moment she didn’t understand why Sellon wanted to take him away.
Until he saw Sellon, in front of Xu Lai, Kemel and others, he threw the head of the knight captain of the third knighthood of the temple on the ground.
To be honest, Xu Lai and Jerome are not familiar with each other, but he still has a good impression of Jerome.
From the moment he took the initiative to take the third knight on an adventure to climb the trail behind Mount Norwalk, Xu Lai felt that this middle-aged knight in his 40s was very responsible and responsible.
Therefore, when Jerome's head appeared on the ground, Xu Lai was shocked inside.
He even couldn't believe that such a powerful Holy Light Knight, who even cut off the head of the Balrog General Barlow, would suddenly be defeated here.
Xu Lai was just in disbelief, while the two crimson bishops were extremely angry.
Three consecutive long-distance teleportations made it impossible for Sellon to leave this position in a short period of time.
While the two crimson bishops were angry, they quickly calmed down and began to chant the spell silently.
Although Sellon did not hear the sound of the incantation, he could detect the surging aura of holy light.
The Doomsday Blade with blazing fire was placed straight on Christine's neck.
The flames continued to burn Christine's skin, and Christine's health was continuously declining.
The key is that his legs are weak and his hands are weak at this time. Even his own strength is not low. He is held down by one hand but has no ability to resist.
“Two old bastards, if you continue to engage in petty tricks, my sword will not have eyes.”
There was no change at all in the aura of Holy Light, and it was still getting stronger. With a turn of his eyes, Sellon guessed that the one he had captured was not the real leader of the coalition.
He originally wanted to use this human hero to see if he could ease the situation.
Because even if he kills this human now and opens the barrier, his demon army is still entangled with the human angels.
There are a large number of Northern Empire coalition forces outside the city. Even if the barrier is opened, it will be difficult for them to leave with these angels around.
The devil's teleportation is not omnipotent, not to mention the speed of these angels, which is much faster than he expected.
In other words, even if this human being is killed, he and his demon army may not be able to escape.
But if you can give him some breathing time, his demon army can be separated from the angels, and the demons under his command can recover their strength.
Even if you can't teleport directly out of the Emerald City in one go, you can even run away with the conveyor belt, plus some cannon fodder brought by Ignatis.
At least he and his Hellboys have a high probability of escaping.
Of course, the devil is the least trustworthy. Once he has rested, it will not be too late to kill the human hero with one more blow.
If the barrier is not eliminated, Sellon will not be able to leave. One of him and this human hero must die.
However, the two crimson bishops are still brewing high-level holy light spells.
This made Sellen clearly realize that the hostage in his hands was probably of no use.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to lower his sword. In any case, killing a human hero can also lower the morale of the temple alliance a lot, which is beneficial to his own side.
But what Sellen didn’t expect was that his Doomsday Blade had penetrated deeply into Christian’s neck, and this guy suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted:
"I know who you are looking for."
Being captured by Sellon for no apparent reason, Christine was so flustered and confused that she forgot how to think for a moment.
When the Doomsday Blade appeared, he suddenly realized that the target Sellon was looking for was probably not him.
Besieged by the temple coalition forces in the castle, Sellon must be thinking about how to escape.
And if you want to escape, you must lift the shackles of war.
As the leader of the Fifth Knights and an important person who participated in the temple meeting, Christian certainly knew what the war shackles were used for and who they were equipped with.
Now that her life is in danger, Christine no longer cares whether she will let the number two figure in the hell camp escape.
As for lifting the shackles of war, Xu Lai must be killed, which will not cause any waves in Christine's heart.
In fact, in Christine's heart, she wished Sellen could kill Xu Lai with a knife. Ever since this guy named Xu Lai appeared, Christine was not only crushed in all aspects, but her position in the temple was also in jeopardy.
Not to mention this Xu Lai, who somehow got himself a set of top-notch equipment and had so many angels under his command.
Perhaps even Grand Duke Aled, who calls himself the King of the Northern Empire, does not have as many angels as Xu Lai, at least not as high quality as Xu Lai.
Jealous of Xu Lai and the humiliation she received after the Battle of Norwalk Mountain, Christine could not wait to take revenge and return immediately.
Sellron narrowed his eyes and retracted his strength in time.
Fortunately, although there was a deep wound on Christine's neck, the guy's physique was not low and he was not that easy to die.
"Who am I looking for? You only have one chance to survive!"
As the second demon king of hell, Sellon's body is larger than that of an ordinary Hellboy.
With a height of over 4 meters, Sellen is just a little bit behind creatures like Cyclops and Behemoth.
He picked up Christine, lifted him high, and stretched him out of the city wall.
The inner city wall of the castle is of course not as high as the outer city wall of the Emerald City, but it is still 8 or 9 meters high.
What's more, now Christine has half of her neck hanging down, and her body is in a horrible bleeding state.
Even if he can replenish his health with life potion, a priest needs to heal his wounds immediately, otherwise he will be killed by just bleeding.
Christine swallowed hard, pointed in the direction of Xu Lai and said:
"There is a shadow among the knights. The person you are looking for is named Xu Lai. He is the commander of this legion, and the yoke of war is on him."
Xu Lai is invisible in the shadows. Sellon's demon eyes can see things in the dark, but. Can't see through invisibility.
Therefore, he could not find Xu Lai at the first time.
However, Xu Lai's invisibility only targets enemies. In the eyes of his teammates, he is only slightly transparent.
Sellron looked in the direction of Christine's finger, but still saw nothing. There was only a group of knights and angels, without any heroic atmosphere.
But Sellen also noticed that there was indeed a gap in the neatly arranged team.
In the dense queue, an empty space suddenly appeared. It was not a place where people could not stand, so it was indeed suspicious.
Sellen threw it away casually, throwing Christine to the big devil behind him.
He did not act immediately, but raised his semi-disabled left arm with difficulty. At some point, there was already a shield on it.
A holy light knight of the physics profession, activated the holy light spell released after sacrifice, and almost killed half of his life.
The holy light spell released by the two professional crimson bishops can easily kill him, the devil on earth, instantly.
Soon, two rays of holy light that had been accumulated for a long time fell from the sky.
Christian didn't dare to look at the opposite camp. His performance on the top of the city just now could be said to have been seen by everyone on the opposite side.
Basically, even if he survives by chance, he will be treated as a traitor to the human race.
Especially the three crimson bishops who unanimously recommended Christine as the Knight Commander of the Fifth Knights.
Although there were only two people present, it was the sacrifice of Holy Light Knight Jerome first, and then the betrayal of Knight Commander Chris.
It's like a heavy hammer to their chest, and then a loud slap on their old face.
On the contrary, Xu Lai, who was pointed out by Christine, just ordered Tahan, Elwe and others to prepare for the battle and let Yu Lan start casting spells.
As both descendants, Xu Lai did not feel betrayed.
He even thought it was a matter of peace for Christine to confess him.
As a modern person, protecting yourself is the most important thing. Why should you sacrifice your life for others?
He Xu Lai is not Christine’s father and mother.
If Xu Lai encountered this situation, he would not hesitate to trade Christine for his chance to survive.
The so-called betrayal, only when there is trust can one be betrayed. If there is never trust, there is no point in betraying.
Therefore, Xu Lai was not sad at all, he just confirmed another enemy for himself.
The two crimson archbishops, who were particularly angry, came to the Emerald Castle to attack for the second time. The scene was countless times more exaggerated than the previous one.
The rich holy light almost condensed into a solid object, falling from the sky like a sky pillar.
Desperate, Christine couldn't help but feel desperate again. She was trying to resist the spell damage. What was the use of taking out a shield?
Christine knew very well that as soon as he said those words, as long as Sellon and the others were defeated, he would only die.
So, in the entire Emerald Castle, he is probably the only human who wants Serron alive.
