Chapter 233 Assassination
The next day.
Red Maple City Church, Glory Church.
In the residence of the Great Sacrifice, Luo Xiu just received a routine contact from the "violent swordsman" Bagri and learned that Bagri and two other "monsters" had arrived at the dark army camp outside Red Maple City.
"Executioner" Koros is about to arrive, and Bagry, "Shadow Warrior" Bode, and "Binder" Haziz are the "vanguards" sent by Koros to investigate. This is the entire lineup of high-ranking extraordinary beings reinforced by the Dark Principality.
At the same time, Bagri also reported another important piece of information to Luo Xiu - about the vanguard of the "Dark Principality" entrenched outside Red Maple City, which was led by "The Executioner" Afatak. His profession is [ Kutu】The "Storm Warrior" with the fourth destiny.
Afatak also has two deputy commanders, "Poison Hunter" Alesha and "Beast Tamer" Kraul. They also have "fourth level destiny". The former's destiny belongs to [Ku Tu], and the latter's destiny is [Ku Tu]. It is [Red Lotus].
In other words, including the "violent swordsman" Bagry, the enemy now has a total of six "fourth-level destiny" extraordinary beings.
Judging from the numbers alone, the high-end combat power of the Principality's vanguard army has already surpassed that of the Red Maple City defenders. After all, the number of "four-fold destiny" extraordinary people currently in "Bianting" plus "Church" plus "Fangbeiyuan" There were only five people.
However, what the enemy didn't know was that there was a mole in their midst... and even their estimation of combat power had a fundamental blind spot.
With this thought, Luo Xiu summoned the "Shadow Raven" Wuye, and asked it to create a real phantom of "Luo Xiu Carlos", and after letting the phantom stay in the town's residence, he activated the plan to go to the "Forgotten Royal Court" "The engraved key was transmitted to the royal palace.
…
Isol was left behind in the royal court.
On the ground in front of the throne in the main hall, a scarlet ring magic circle appeared in an instant. The figure of "Shura" quickly condensed in the hazy light of the magic circle, gradually becoming clear from blur, and gradually becoming real from illusion.
In the past two months, the architect found by Intis has initially completed the planning and construction of the vacant area of the Royal Court. Several major areas have basically been completed and can be put into use.
The Royal Palace has also received a major renovation. The most obvious change is that more classical-shaped seats of different sizes and colors have been installed in front of the palace.
These seats surround the throne in a fan shape like stars over the moon. The inner ring of seats closest to the throne is dark red, with a total of six; while the outer ring is black, with a total of thirteen.
These seats belong to the "Apostles of the Holy Abyss" who Luo Xiu has transformed into "crazy piety". Nowadays, these seats have their own ownership, and they also represent the current distribution of combat power in the "Holy Abyss".
——Six "fourth-level destiny" and thirteen "three-level destiny". This is the true high-end combat power level of "Holy Abyss" now!
And this is also the current limit of the number of "crazy believers" that Luo Xiu can maintain stable.
Luo Xiu looked around at the empty seats below. He raised his arms at the same time, pressed his fingers lightly on his forehead, and issued a gathering order to all the "Apostles of the Holy Abyss" through spiritual transmission.
That is the highest priority command. After Luo Xiu issued an order to all the "Apostles of the Holy Abyss", no matter where they were or what they were doing, they must arrive within ten minutes.
Soon, in Luo Xiu's field of vision, on the open ground in the middle of the hall, one after another circular magic formations began to appear, and figures quickly condensed from them.
Intis, the "Faceless One" who was in charge of all the apostles, was the first to appear. After she was completely teleported into the hall, she first paid Servant Ceremony to Luo Xiu.
Afterwards, Intis came to the side of her "Lord" again, folded her hands gently in front of her body, and looked down with indifferent eyes at the other "Apostles of the Holy Abyss" who were teleporting towards the hall.
In the middle of the hall, the first few figures to complete the teleportation quickly became clear. After completing the teleportation, "Bragly Swordsman" Bagri and "Death Priest" Aswes bowed to Luo Xiu and then walked away. Sit down in front of your dark red chair.
Then came the "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer and the "Hunting Blade" Undertaker. These two original "Apostles of the Holy Abyss" have also recently completed their promotions, and have now transformed into "fourth-level destiny", ranking among the first-class combat power of the "Holy Abyss".
They also bowed and saluted Luo Xiu, and then came to sit down in front of their respective dark red seats, waiting for the other "apostles" to come and salute in turn.
The last two dark red seats belong to the two newly transformed "fourth destiny" extraordinary beings. They belong to the destiny of "Brilliance" and "Intellect" respectively, and their original camps are "Purity Order" and "Hidden Omniscient" respectively.
——"Sacrifice of Fire" Servais, and "Great Alchemist" Frank. After the two of them saluted "Lord" Luo Xiu on the throne, they silently sat down on the last two seats on the dark red seats.
Afterwards, the "Triple Destiny" apostles, including "Dream Stealer" Pior, "Natural Blessed" Emera, "Life Blessed" Elena and other first-generation "Holy Abyss Apostles", were teleported to the main hall. After bowing to the "Lord" in turn, they also sat on their respective black seats.
"very good."
After seeing that all the seats in the hall were full, Luo Xiu nodded and said:
"Everyone is already here."
"Now, then. I'm going to make an announcement."
Luo Xiu's eyes swept across the "Apostles of the Holy Abyss" in front of him, and he said slowly: "——'The Judgment War' has begun. Both the empire and the Dark Principality are spewing angry revenge on each other. flame."
"I, and you who follow me and serve in the 'Holy Abyss', have been dormant for a long time just for this moment."
"The empire is on the verge of collapse. From now on, we can no longer hide ourselves, but can truly intervene in the war in the name of the 'Holy Abyss'."
"Let the Empire be shocked and make the Principality pay a bloody price - this is the first step for the 'Holy Abyss' to become truly great."
"so."
After a pause, Luo Xiu looked around the apostles in the temple with his deep eyes again, looking at the solemn and fanatical expressions on their faces, and then slowly continued:
"——I will officially initiate the trial of the Holy Abyss against the Dark Principality. The Holy Abyss will seize everything we need from them."
"The first step is to wipe out all the enemies in the 'Pitch Black Army Camp' outside Red Maple City and leave our traces."
As he said that, Luo Xiu's eyes fell on the "violent swordsman" Bagry. With a smile on his lips, he said to Bagry: "And you, you are the one among us who is the deepest in the enemy's territory. man, Bagri.”
"You have a new mission, Bagri. You can instigate our enemies and let them launch a decisive battle against Red Maple City without any scruples."
"Wait until they are in a state of war madness and unable to evacuate, and then work with the other apostles of the 'Holy Abyss' to completely annihilate them to prove your loyalty to the 'Holy Abyss'."
"Can you do it, Bagry?"
"..."
"Thank you for your trust, Lord."
The moment Luo Xiu finished speaking, Bagri stood up from his seat, nodded to Luo Xiu and said, "I will not live up to your expectations, let alone tarnish the mission you gave me."
"Very good." Luo Xiu nodded.
"Then, I will hand over all the apostles and temporary scheduling rights to you."
"I'll give you another ten days."
"In ten days, I hope to see results that satisfy me."
"Sit down, Bagry."
"Yes." Bagry nodded again and sat back down in his seat as instructed.
After giving Bagri this task, Luo Xiu gave the other apostles some detailed tasks, then sent them out of the hall and returned to their respective posts.
Except for Intis and some of the apostles who stayed in the royal court, the apostles saluted the "Lord" in turn and then activated the "key" and teleported back to the real world. The royal hall suddenly became empty again. After all the apostles left, Luo Xiu stood up from the throne, took off the black-striped mask he was wearing, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Let Bagry increase the strength of the new group of "monsters". By the way, take this opportunity to increase all the attribute values of "Judgement of Glory"... This is me, working to advance to the "Fifth Level of Destiny" The second preparation... While thinking about this, Luo Xiu turned back slightly and said to Intis:
"Go and monitor the situation in Bagri. If there is anything unusual, please tell me at any time."
"Yes." Intis nodded, and the teleportation ring immediately lit up under her feet, and her body quickly blurred, faded, and finally disappeared.
After Intis also left, Luo Xiu activated the key engraving on the back of his hand and teleported back to Red Maple City from the Forsaken Royal Court and returned to the high priest's residence in the church.
…
Red Maple City, Glorious Church.
The inner courtyard is the residence of the great sacrifice.
Luo Xiu, who had just teleported back, easily removed the "real phantom" created by "Shadow Raven" Wuye, and lifted the golden barrier in his residence. After sorting out that he was wearing the robe of a high priest, he walked out of the bedroom. , walked outside the residence.
He went straight to the mission house, found the chief official there, Maiyev, and asked about the preparations for the "altar ceremony."
"I have given full notice, Lord Luo Xiu."
Mayev reported to Luo Xiuhui: "All the church's priests with a 'three-fold destiny' or above, as well as all the ordained priests with a 'two-fold destiny', are ready to assist you in performing the ceremony."
"Yes, I understand." Luo Xiu nodded, "Then let's temporarily set the date for tomorrow afternoon. If there is no new movement from the army of the Dark Principality, let everyone gather in front of the Xuyu statue."
"I understand." Mayyev nodded in agreement and said, "I will arrange it as soon as possible."
…
After leaving the mission house, it was getting late.
Luo Xiu then went to the Holy Office, preparing to handle some final matters before returning to his residence to rest. However, when he was walking halfway, he suddenly felt a spiritual turmoil, and a new communication request was sent to him by the "Apostle of the Holy Abyss"——
Luo Xiu then accepted the spiritual guidance, and the voice of the "violent swordsman" Bagry came into his mind:
"Lord." Bagry said, "One of the 'monster heads' of Koros , 'Shadow Warrior' Bode, he will sneak into the church tonight and wait for an opportunity to assassinate you. "
"Joining him in the operation were another 'Deputy Commander', 'Poison Hunter' Alessa, and the ten subordinates 'Black Fang' selected by Bode."
"I did not move with them. Please be careful, Lord."
"..."
So fast? I just told Bagry in the morning that we should try our best to let the enemy launch a decisive battle against Red Maple City without any scruples... This is more than just 'having no scruples', this is simply arrogance... Luo Xiu was thinking about this, and at the same time He said to Bagri through spiritual transmission: "I already know, Bagri. Get ready to take over Baldur's position as 'Shadow Warrior', he can't go back."
Afterwards, Luo Xiu severed the spiritual link with Bagri, and his footsteps that were originally going to go to the Holy Office also turned around and headed to the Holy Inquisition of the church instead.
…
The inner courtyard of the church, the place where the Holy Inquisition takes place.
Antony, Pamier, and Chilanta, who had "behaved well" and temporarily assumed the position of adjutant of the "Holy Inquisition", were all in the sanctuary at this time, having evening discussions and discussions. Finishing touches.
Luo Xiu went straight to the room where they were, and solemnly told them about the upcoming invasion of the church by "Shadow Warrior" Bode and "Poison Hunter" Alyssa, but hid the source of the news from them.
"You said tonight?" Anthony was stunned. "There will be two enemies of the Dark Principality and the 'Fourth Destiny' sneaking into the church... Where did you get the news? Luo Xiu?"
"When you stand in my position, you will know how dangerous it is when 'intelligence' is blocked. For this, I have made a lot of preparations."
Luo Xiu said this to Anthony, but still did not explain the source of the information, and Anthony did not ask any more unnecessary questions.
Pamier, who had been listening quietly and rarely spoke, suddenly asked:
"So, what do we need to do?"
"I need you to deal with the black teeth brought by the 'Housou'." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "And I will deal with the 'Housou' and the 'Deputy Commander' of the Dark Army."
Hearing this, Anthony and Pamier were both stunned for a moment. But they quickly calmed down, understood Luo Xiu's speech as normal, and said:
"...I know, we will be ready."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Luo Xiu nodded slightly, then stood up and left, leaving Anthony, Pamier and Chilanta to discuss their own arrangements.
…
After explaining this to the Holy Inquisition, Luo Xiu returned to the Holy Office, brought in a mountain of files, and began to review some of them.
Time often flies by while working.
Gradually, the dim yellow sky has completely lost its color, and the cold blue moon gradually hangs high, rendering several satin-like light bands in the sky.
By the time the last bird song died away, it was already around two o'clock in the morning.
Luo Xiu then pushed aside the half-reviewed file, stood up, and after stretching his muscles a little, left the room between the bishops and left the Holy Office.
Before actually leaving, Luo Xiu silently recited several holy prayers at the same time, and successively applied "Consecration Prayer", "Consecration Blessing", "Han of Punishment", and "Triple Holy Protection" to himself. Wait for the buffing magic.
After completing this, he slowly walked towards his "Grand Sacrifice Residence".
At this time, Luo Xiu could no longer see any stranded priests on the road. Except for the rustling of the tree branches in the wind, the surroundings around him seemed unusually quiet.
Just when Luo Xiu was about to arrive at the "Great Sacrifice Residence".
He had already opened his "spiritual vision" and suddenly saw a different color from the garden on one side.
It was a deep black that was different from the gloomy spiritual tones. A strange black light was crawling in it, exuding a gloomy and ominous atmosphere.
The next moment, the strange dark spirituality suddenly dissipated, and an erratic and joking voice came to Luo Xiu's ears:
"I found you..."
Suddenly, all the scenes in front of Luo Xiu's eyes disappeared. He only saw a pitch black, a darkness so deep that it seemed to be able to swallow up the day.
At the same time, a gray figure appeared in front of him, and a twisted green dagger appeared on his chest.
The thick poisonous mist filled the air in an instant, and the dagger's tempered blade exuded a deep mist, approaching Luo Xiu's chest infinitely.
