Chapter 477 Saint
Ding!
At this moment, a long-lost reminder suddenly sounded in Jilan’s ears.
Accompanying the sound was a task panel that appeared in front of him. It is described in colorful, skewed and twisting handwriting:
"Trigger mission: rescue."
"The city of Cockburn was ravaged by demons, and the local people suffered heavy casualties and torture."
"A large number of residents fled into the Cathedral of the Dawn for refuge, but a group of members of the 'Eclipse Society' were staring here. Prepare to launch an attack and try to break through the church's defense."
"Help the priests and monks of Dawn Cathedral to resist the attack of the 'Eclipse Society', or kill more than half of the intruders and demons."
"Time limit: 6 hours."
"Reward: slight improvement in gnosis, spirituality, and physical body (choose one of three)."
‘The “Golden Sigh” was finally triggered again, but... was the reward only slightly increased? ’
Jilan looked at the mission panel and couldn’t help but speculate that the reason why the rewards had become smaller was because his current physique was too strong and it became more difficult to improve further.
He silently accepted the task, and with a glance from the corner of his eye, he noticed a group of guys in different costumes coming towards him from the far side of the street.
At this moment, someone in the church had already spotted Gillan standing on the steps outside through the stained glass.
“Pastor Tama, there is a survivor outside!”
exclaimed a woman with messy hair.
Her voice obviously attracted the attention of many people. A middle-aged priest and two monks came over after hearing the sound. Even the surrounding crowd gathered around the stained glass and looked out.
Sure enough, everyone saw a young man wearing a hat standing on the steps outside the church, but he had his back to them and didn't seem to be planning to come in.
“Don’t you think that the man outside looks a lot like Foreign Minister Guillain Iros...”
Suddenly, a short-haired man wearing glasses spoke while lying on the window sill.
As he said this, everyone was stunned, and then they looked more and more alike.
“Yes, yes, only Grandpa Jilan has this kind of golden-red hair, and her figure and age are very similar!”
Another girl was shocked. call.
With previous media reports and the publication of "The Biography of Jilan", the image of the empire's youngest foreign minister has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At this stage, it is probably difficult to find a few people from the Empire who don’t know Jilan.
Just when everyone was suspicious, they found that the young man turned his head and gestured towards the flower glass.
Pastor Tama was startled.
“It’s really Lord Gilan Iros!”
The crowd exclaimed after seeing the young man’s appearance clearly. When the others heard the sound, they also came over and tried to peek out of the stained glass.
But unfortunately, there were too many people gathered at the window, and those behind could not squeeze through.
"Pastor Tama, don't open the door. The guy outside is most likely the devil in disguise!"
A balding, fat man came over and said loudly. His face was tense and his head was covered in cold sweat.
"How could a big shot like the Foreign Minister suddenly appear here? This is obviously unreasonable! Maybe if you open the door, the devils outside will take the opportunity to come in and eat us all!"
< br>His words obviously aroused the approval of many people, who all agreed and asked the priests and monks not to open the door rashly.
However, the Dawn Pastor named Tama just shook his head calmly and said to everyone:
"Don't worry, the person outside is Foreign Minister Guillain Iros himself. Although I don't know why he is here, he is definitely not a devil in disguise."
The reason why he is so sure is because the priest himself is a A 4th level Kuze person.
Under the prying eyes, the dazzling spiritual light of the young man outside almost blinded the pastor.
How can this be the devil in disguise...
"But there is no need to open the door, because Mr. Gillan's gesture just now means that we should not act rashly. He does not intend to come in, it seems that he is Something dangerous is approaching.”
Pastor Tama said with a solemn expression.
He held the consecrated object and led several monks behind him to stand by the door, ready to go out for support at any time.
Soon.
Everyone saw through the stained glass that a large group of men and women in strange clothes appeared in the square.
And kept approaching the church.
Those people also held a variety of weapons in their hands, showing ferocious smiles while fiddling with them, obviously with evil intentions.
When Priest Tama and the monks saw this, their expressions changed.
“It’s the blasphemers of the ‘Solar Eclipse Society’!”
He revealed the identities of the strangers in a deep voice.
The invading cultists are almost all level 2 and 3 mystics, and they follow the same path of "dawn at noon" in July as the priests.
However, these blasphemers borrowed the power of the "secret ritual" of the old gods to pollute the original essence, thus gaining the power of evil and depravity, which was extremely difficult to deal with.
The survivors in the church also discovered the aggressive blasphemer, and they all made uneasy sounds of surprise.
Pastor Tama put the sterling silver cross against his chest, prayed into the void, and murmured:
"Disaster has come to Cockburn, may Lord Omer bless the world, and also May Lord Gilan Yiros be safe and sound.”
Just as he finished praying, the priest heard gunshots.
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang bang! !
Outside the church, the young man held a stick in one hand and a silver-white short-barreled revolver in the other hand, and took the lead in pulling the trigger on the incoming blasphemers.
Powerful firepower burst out and bullets fell into the crowd.
But the blasphemers were not targets, and they had already taken evasive action the moment Gilan took out his gun.
After a round of shooting, only two cultists were slightly injured, which was not fatal at all.
"Great power of sulfur, please listen to the prayers of your devout believers. May the flames and black smoke spread throughout the world, driving away pain and illness..."
Prayers rang out among the people in strange clothes. Voice. The team of dozens of people moved faster and faster, and the smiles on their faces became more and more ferocious and twisted.
"The lava will rekindle the vitality of life and revive the tired body and mind. Please send your most generous love and light and heat..."
The prayers became more fervent and loud.
Boom! !
A burst of scarlet light emanated from the crowd.
Jilan put away the alchemy revolver "Echo" and narrowed his eyes.
‘Then the power of Holy Prayer, which was originally supposed to be the way to the Holy Grail Spiral and the “Noon Dawn” in July, was mastered by the second-level “priest”, but it became like this after being polluted? ’
he thought.
There was another bang.
A blazing high-temperature red light fell from the sky, which was the attack released by the group of cultists.
Jilan's body flashed and he ran out of the beam range.
Instead of retreating, he advanced alone and rushed towards the crowd of fallen people.
Several powerful and heavy throwing axes were thrown towards him, but they did not pose any threat to Ji Lan.
He raised his hand and waved.
Bang!
The silver arc flashed, and the flying ax was decomposed the moment it touched his fingertips.
Immediately, I saw Jilan clasping his hands together, and the "Philosopher's Stone" in his body was activated, releasing powerful energy.
The two blood-colored carvings on his palm glowed with light.
“Refining!”
He opened his arms again, silver lightning flashed, and a ferocious and long black instrument appeared in his hand.
It is one of the new weapons that the imperial military has just put on the front line, a heavy machine gun named "Rhinebeck-M1"!
This machine gun, which is 1.7 meters long and weighs nearly a hundred pounds, is an anti-aircraft weapon specially used by the Empire to deal with federal airships. When used, it needs to be supported by a tripod of dozens of pounds to prevent the strong recoil from causing the ballistic trajectory. offset.
After all, its rate of fire reaches nearly a thousand rounds per minute, and it is not a conventional individual weapon at all.
However, at this moment, Jilan forged this weapon with his bare hands and held it firmly in his hand.
This kind of heavy firearm cannot deal with high-level mystics, but to these members of the "Eclipse Society" in front of them, it is like the scythe of death...
Bang bang bang bang bang bang Bang! ! !
The machine gun opened fire violently.
The finger-long bullet casing was thrown from the side of the gun body and clinked on the ground.
Nearly ten bullets per second swept towards the incoming cultists like a metal storm.
Before those guys even had time to react, they exploded into a mist of blood on the spot and were torn into pieces and limbs.
“Damn!!”
“Why does that guy have a machine gun in his hand?!”
"Retreat first!"
"Retreat quickly!!"
The blasphemers screamed in terror and fled in all directions.
But how can they outrun the bullets whizzing by with two legs?
Gilan stood upright, holding a black machine gun in both hands, his face watery. The flickering light from the muzzle illuminated his deep and three-dimensional facial features.
The powerful recoil of the machine gun was nothing to him. Those two arms, which were made of copper and cast iron, were almost motionless.
Bang bang bang bang! !
Bang bang bang bang bang bang! !
The cultists were scattered in all directions, exploding into clouds of blood mist in the hail of bullets, leaving no intact corpses.
Even the people who were hiding in the church and gathering behind the stained glass to peek in took a breath of cold air.
They didn't understand why Foreign Minister Gilan could conjure up that terrifying machine cannon out of thin air, let alone why he could hold it with his bare hands and slaughter the invading enemies wantonly.
But these do not prevent everyone from being in awe.
"Omer on top!"
An old woman crossed her fingers and bowed her head in prayer.
“Thank you for sending your messenger to save us.”
"Saint!"
"Mr. Gilan Ilos must be the legendary saint! This is the miraculous manifestation of Dawn!"
Many older Dawn believers also joined in Prayer processions.
They looked excited and grateful.
Even Pastor Tama couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.
He took a deep breath, looked outside like the crowd around him, and landed on the young man's back.
"Today, is this foreign minister not the 'saint' who will redeem the world in the last days as described in the Bible?"
The pastor also closed his eyes, Get up in prayer.
Bah...
The machine gun finally stopped roaring.
The front half of the gun body was as red as a soldering iron, emitting high temperature and green smoke.
Beside Jilan's feet, there was also a large pile of yellow bullet casings.
He looked calm and threw it away.
Cang!
The empty machine gun in his hand was casually thrown aside, and then he walked towards the pile of corpses.
