Chapter 915 897. Garden Church
Lan En felt that there was a strong suspicion that there was something wrong with the flakes of ashes falling from the sky.
After all, here, he seems to be the most professional person in disease prevention.
So the witcher simply discussed with Lorenzo and Emma, the priests, and asked them to give orders to their subordinates to try not to take off their helmets and armors to prevent the ashes from contacting the body.
Although the protection is not too strict, it is different from ordinary people standing in the air without any obstruction.
The "bloody eclipse" in the sky seems to be more serious now.
The light illuminated the clouds below and around Lothric into a mixture of dim yellow and blood red, ominous and gloomy.
On the streets, residents are completely immersed in their own world.
Even if killings and fighting broke out around them, these people would not even hide as long as it did not affect them.
Just praying and kneeling to the sky, minding your own business.
In this process, their speed of vegetativeization seems not to be slow.
Soon, the two legs of some people kneeling together on the ground grew together with the texture of xylem.
"Don't worry about them. As long as they don't block the road, don't worry about them. Find a stable base first. It's too dangerous outside now."
Lan En held the knife and greeted Jie Cheng as he walked. Lothric knights in formation.
Fighting against the power of the [Abyss] seems to be a concept engraved in the bones of the decent knights of this Age of Fire.
Therefore, even at this time, Lan En can still feel that many Lothric knights have the urge to eliminate these residents who are turning into plants when passing by them.
But now is not the time to pursue fighting. When will so many people affected by the [Abyss] be eliminated?
Lorenzo also understands this logic, so he is also using words to suppress the impulses of his men and strive to restrain them.
Thanks to the fact that these people polluted by the [Abyss] did not react to the sound, otherwise this group of people would have been surrounded long ago.
On the way to the high-walled church, as Lan En had estimated, many people had black mud snakes exploding from their bodies.
Scattered on the high wall.
According to the weaknesses found before, the knights did rely on their strong qualities to complete the battle plan.
The knight behind throws a rocket or a flame pot at it.
Then several knights around them took advantage of the few seconds the black mud snake group was struggling in the flames to use [combat skills] and attack the opponent without reservation.
Although they are facing an enemy that they have never faced or practiced before, Lothric is worthy of being a powerful country at the top of the world.
As the backbone of military force, the knights are quite strong in quality.
Battles often end in a matter of seconds.
With reasonable combat thinking, these monsters that were too powerful to deal with before can only survive for a few seconds longer.
Relying on their powerful force, the group advanced towards the high-walled church and soon arrived nearby.
The church sits at the top of a long staircase, with a small garden square built on the side.
There is a small fountain in the center of the square. The statue in the center of the fountain is an image of a handsome young man sitting on the ground holding a golden sword.
Priest Emma introduced to Lan En that it was the memorial sculpture of the eldest prince Lorian.
But this small garden square that seems to have quite a commemorative significance is now covered with traces of battles and killings.
Countless Lothric knights whose factions could not be distinguished were beheaded according to etiquette, and their bodies were piled against the wall.
Long swords, spears, war hammers. Various weapons are either inserted into the corpses or scattered on the ground.
The first thing Lan noticed was that among the corpses of a group of Lothric knights, there was also the corpse of a warrior with fat and huge armor.
That was the body of the Winged Knight that he had seen in the Nether Church.
It’s just that this winged knight wears ordinary-colored armor instead of the golden armor of the goddess’s guard.
Until the moment before his death, the winged knight knelt on the ground, his palms struggling to reach for the fallen weapon in front of him.
He must have died unwillingly.
And a group of Lothric knights were also panting heavily under their helmets. Not because of fatigue, but because I saw so many corpses of my colleagues.
There may be a fire spreading sect or a prince sect here. But now they are just corpses wearing the armor of Lothric knights.
"The flame must be rekindled!"
Vaguely, Lan heard this muttering from under the helmet of a Lothric knight who passed by him.
Muttering to himself filled with hatred and determination.
Walking into the garden square, a heavy pace was walking "dong dong dong".
That was the only person who survived on this battlefield, another Winged Knight.
When he first saw a group of Lothric knights, he almost subconsciously picked up the huge halberd in his hand and rushed over.
But then, after seeing Priest Emma in the crowd waving to him, he flapped the funny little wings on his back, slowed down, and finally stopped in front of the team.
"In the name of Rosalia, I'm glad you're fine, Your Excellency the officiant." The Winged Knight's helmet visor is an exaggeratedly curved smile. The reason why he grinned so widely is probably to make the visor The mouth serves as a breathing hole, making it easier for the knight under the helmet.
But when this exaggerated smile is paired with a huge and terrifying killer, it will only give people a sense of absurd fear.
Fortunately, everyone present is a top-notch killer, so no one can try to scare anyone.
Priest Emma walked out of the crowd and gently patted the shoulder of the Winged Knight, who was kneeling on one knee with his halberd in hand.
She turned sideways and said to Lan En.
"They are the Winged Knights who were left behind when the princess was driven out of Lothric. I used the power of the priest to protect them. This is why Klimt trusts me."
Lan En Clearly, this is Priest Emma proving to him that she is trustworthy and increasing the mutual trust between the two.
"Let down your guard." Then Priest Emma lifted the half-kneeling Winged Knight up. "The Knights of Lothric split, and the prince took the lead in launching a coup with his followers."
She first explained the situation to the Winged Knights.
The situation in Lothric City is almost like a roller coaster, and it is collapsing rapidly. People who are not at the center of the whirlpool may not realize what is going on, and find that the environment in which they live has collapsed.
"I see." The Winged Knight's muffled words proved this situation.
“We just heard the shouting of killing outside, as if someone wanted to attack the church. So we violated your order, armed ourselves and rushed out to fight. Unexpectedly, the enemy was the Knights of Lothric. "
"We thought it was our identity that implicated you."
"Haha, if it was just because of you, how could we attack the three pillars?"
Priest Emma said with a cold smile.
"Continue patrolling. There is no need for you to hide anymore. Now everyone speaks with swords."
"Legal principles and political decrees have become a thing before the flames are rekindled and order is stabilized. Waste of paper. It’s like a barbaric world.”
“Before, in order to appease Prince Losric, we all denied the legal principles of angel belief. But now it seems that this is just the prince’s wish. You gave me an excuse to drive out of the royal city. He has been thinking about weakening other forces in the royal city and preparing for today."
"And we, the group of people, foolishly thought that he was just devoting himself to the beginning. I still have a little temper that needs to be vented."
After saying that, the priest Emma shook her head and left.
With the patrols of the Winged Knights, there is actually no danger in this area.
So Priest Emma led a group of knights who were exhausted physically and mentally after fighting with their colleagues, and walked a few steps into the high-walled church.
This is the territory that belongs to the officiant.
"Welcome, gentlemen." The old voice of the Emma priest was somewhat relaxed.
“Although this church is no longer magnificent, it can at least provide shelter from wind and rain. Captain Lorenzo, please arrange for members of the Knights to patrol nearby. I think there are not many people alive in this city. People are everywhere, but there is danger everywhere.”
"Of course, we will defend this place."
Lorenzo agreed simply and at the same time named a few knights and asked them to form a defensive patrol combination with the winged knights outside the church.
Lan En watched quietly from the side.
This is not only a request made by Emma's priest out of security needs, but also represents the convergence and cooperation of the two pillars of the priest and the knight.
For Lorenzo to react so quickly, it at least shows that his political thinking is not as thick as his sword.
Afterwards, Priest Emma arranged a place for everyone to rest, maybe just an open space against the wall, but at this difficult time no one would ask for more.
Most of the priests under the officiating priest looked frightened.
As a priest in Lothric, you rarely directly participate in battles and killings because of Lothric's power. Even the members of the Knights of Lothric are all good at [Miracle], and they are all low-level priests outside.
As a priest here, my more important responsibility is to lead daily people’s prayers and sermons.
So after the coup broke out, many priests in this church have died.
If the Winged Knights hadn't come out to fight, they might all be dead.
But fortunately, these panicked priests can still do some basic work, such as arranging food and drink, carrying supplies, etc.
After watching everyone getting settled, Lorenzo and Emma, the priests, also began to discuss future plans.
“We have to fight back to the inner city.”
Lorenzo whispered, although his voice was low, his determination was by no means low.
"Most of the elite forces of the Knights are in the inner city, including our dragons, our powerful knights, and our arsenal. If we want to help spread the fire on the right path, it would be a joke to not have these forces!"
"Besides, , at this juncture"
Lorenzo held his helmet under his arm and looked at the priest Emma seriously.
"King Oceroes can no longer ignore it! Locking himself in the courtyard, is this what a king should do in times of crisis?!"
