The heavy steel gate of Ayinbro was tightly closed, and the archers on the city wall were waiting intently. A group of dark red-skinned demons first appeared in their field of vision. They have sharp spines on their backs and run as fast as cheetahs.
"It's the Thorn Demon." Leo said, "This is an appetizer."
"Appetizers?" The city lord lady covered her mouth and nose, unable to hide her surprise. The stench in the air can almost make people faint. Leo admired her for still persisting here. "Why don't they attack?"
"They are waiting for orders." Leo explained, "Devils are chaotic and evil. They usually chirp and will only obey demons that are more powerful than them. Unfortunately, Clegg rules all demons. Here he comes."
A small mountain-high demon supervisor appeared in the formation of the Thorn Demon. It had a strong body, with blood-stained iron chains wrapped around its fat body. It grabbed one end of the iron chain with one hand, and grabbed a Thorn Demon with the other hand, laughing and pinching it into two pieces. Drenched with the blood of demons.
"Ithow"
"Devils are such creatures." Leo said, "Killing is one of the few pleasures they have. Not only for their enemies, but also for their own kind. Therefore, facing them, there is no other choice but to fight to the end."
A loud roar suddenly erupted from the demon formation, and the army moved like a tide.
There is no need for Leo to give orders with half a bucket of water, the commander has already told the soldiers to get ready.
"Wait, wait, wait." The archers drew their bowstrings, and the wizards' spells had been summoned. The demons rushed closer, their speed was fast, their teeth and claws bared. The soldiers were sweating and trembling all over. Then the commander swung his sword. "put!"
The rain of arrows and spells fell overwhelmingly, as if they were a series of rainbow lights, beautiful but also fatally dangerous. Countless demons turned into flesh under this gorgeous scene. The stench hung in the air. The city lord covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from vomiting. This was the first time she had seen such a cruel scene of war.
"You'd better go back, it's too dangerous here." Leo advised.
She waved her hand vigorously, "No, I can still persist. I want to see them and see what these guys who are trying to defeat and kill us look like."
"That's what it looks like." Leo said as easily as possible, "Ugly, like a monster."
¡°But it¡¯s cruel.¡±
"Yes, but cruel."
"Sir Leo," the city lord raised his beautiful eyes to look at him, "do you still need to comfort me and hide it from me now? We all know the ins and outs of everything, so don't say nice things to me anymore. These are just The leading cannon fodder, right?¡±
Under the raging fire and ice, lightning and poison, the demons fell one after another. It seems extremely easy, but they are just the weakest type. The demon supervisors among the thorn demons are almost unscathed even after a round of magic baptism. It waved the iron chain, smashing away all the demons in front of it, and rushed towards the steel gate. But a layer of frost immediately froze its feet, making it difficult to move.
Rosie raised her long hair and gave Leo a proud smile.
Leo smiled and said to the city lord, "Yes, as you can see, they are just pioneers exploring the path. The real test is yet to come."
"How to say?"
????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Out of the city wall, the demon supervisor was waving chains frantically to attack the city gate, but the city gate created by the alchemist could not be broken by brute force. It was so angry that it almost jumped up, but the spells and the rain of arrows extinguished all its enthusiasm. Rosie didn't take any action and handed over the furious demon supervisor to the mage for training. There will never be such a good opportunity in the future.
"Now these guys can be said to have no intelligence at all, and only act with brute force and instinct." Leo explained, "But it will be impossible in the future. The cunning of high-level demons is no less than that of humans, let alone demon lords. . They have even deceived the gods and angels, let alone us. In addition to defending, we must also be careful of their temptations. Lord City Lord, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will begin to collapse from the inside. You will be busy in the future."
The city lord shuddered, and her face turned pale. "Then according to your opinion, when will those terribleenemies arrive? How much time do we have?"
"There is not much time." Leo looked at the trembling soldiers and said, "According to the records, half a year is the limit. Then, the black tide composed of demons will break out in full force, but by then, these soldiers and mages should at least have a stop. The power."
¡°But our chances of winning are still slim.??¡±
"There is never a chance of winning if you defend to the death." Leo corrected her, "Where does the food for the entire city come from? We can defend for two or three years, but what about ten years? Clegg will not lose it just like that. In the Castle of Despair Here, the old dragon once told me that in his time, the war lasted longer than you can imagine."
"Hundreds of years?"
Leo sighed feebly, "Thousands of years."
The city lord was surprised. "It took that long."
"That's our way of looking at the passage of time." Leo looked at the cloud-covered sky. The heavy black clouds blocked the sunlight, and there was no light of hope. "For the eternal demon, it's still just a short nap, passing by in the blink of an eye. So, don't expect the enemy to be kind."
"So, that fantasy plan is the only feasible way."
"It seems to me like this." Leo said helplessly, "Human life is too short and the body is too fragile. We cannot compete with time. Only wisdom makes gods and demons afraid, but time is the shackles that limit wisdom. , wisdom has lost its power, and we can only give it a try."
"Sir Leo, I agreed to your suggestion and almost handed this city into your hands." The city owner suddenly said, "I naturally know how to delegate power and choose to trust you instead of dictating from the side. But I I hope that when you make a decision about everyone's life and death, you can at least explain it to me, just like the decision you made this time. Almost giving up all resistance to build a hugely expensive and uncertain whether it will succeed. Huge | Magical Circle. What if it fails? You almost put all your cards on the line and bet all your cards."
Leo knew what she was worried about. Because too many people can never make a decision until the last moment and without seeing the facts told by others. But often it's too late by then, and there's nothing left to do. If they don't prepare as soon as possible this time, they will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death when they are besieged by demons.
"Because we have no way out." Leo said, "We're all going to die anyway, so it's better to die vigorously. Lord City Lord, do you still think they will put down their butcher's knives because of our cooperation? They can't kill them all, and we only have This is the way to go.¡±
"I know." The city lord sighed, "But are you sure that the Church of Andal will listen to you? Isn't Black Dawn colluding with them? Although your reasons are good, it is still a long way to convince them and change their minds. Not an easy thing.¡±
"Try it." Leo said, "If it's impossible, then we alchemists can create another god. But in this way the success rate is even slimmer."
"Hope everything goes well."
"I hope so." He sighed.
¡¡
In the Andal Temple in Ayinbro, Leo stood beside the statue in the hall, looking up at the statue of Andal. It was a beautiful and holy face, and the gauze could not hide her graceful body at all. There is no doubt that, excluding the majesty and ruthlessness of divinity, every male will have a violent impulse toward such a woman and try to corrupt her. Not to mention the devil who is already interested in this. They will definitely "take good care" of her.
"What are you looking at?" A familiar voice came from behind him.
"Of course I was looking at your goddess, and then I was thinking about the way she was insulted by the devil." Leo turned around, and what appeared in front of him were several priests, the one who had met him once in the ruins of the rain forest. The priests are among them. Surrounded by them, an old man wearing a crown showed his majesty. "Haha, I didn't expect that the Pope would also come in person."
"Alchemist." The old man said calmly.
He has a majestic look that makes people feel that he has been in power for a long time. But it depends on when it is. If it is before the end of the future, Leo will be wary of him. But in this world, there is nothing to be afraid of. Everyone is equal before the devil. Even the gods cannot escape him. of destruction, let alone an old man.
"Your Majesty the Pope, I didn't expect you to come in person."
"This is about the goddess Andal, I have to come." The pope said. He didn't say much and quickly got into the topic. "I saw your plan, it's very tempting"
"No, to be precise, it is very sacred." Leo corrected him, "It is much purer than your method. Gods are above me, the goddess is not the plaything of the devil, right?"
The Pope¡¯s face is not very good-looking. Although he will do whatever it takes to win, there is no doubt that the end of the world will not completely destroy the world. There will always be some people who are lucky enough to survive and live forever. If they win, history will be written by them.?, but what if it fails? Besides, the hope of victory is just like the bones in an egg. That would just be a big joke. Everyone after that will laugh at their foolish behavior and sacrifice the goddess they worship to the demon god who destroys them. They cannot bear such stain. There was no way before, but now there is an alternative way in front of them, and they have no reason not to be tempted.
"Yes, I admit, we are happy to accept your help, we cannot refuse." The Pope simply said directly, "This world cannot tolerate us bargaining, can it? So, I just want to know the feasibility of the plan's success. How many?"
"It's much more certain than your plan." Leo told him, "As long as you can resurrect the goddess, I am sure that faith can be gathered into the goddess. I think you know better than me about the use of the power of faith. "
"I only know that the power of faith will not be at our mercy. The goddess of Su Sheng cannot have wisdom."
"My Lord Pope, have you forgotten my profession?" Leo said with confidence, "Alchemy can do anything. Since it can kill gods, it can also create another god."
