Blood tax

Chapter 324 Ryan, see you later
The beast-like roar and the unscrupulous ritual are about to reach their climax, turning into howling ghosts and wolves possessed by the devil, tearing through the sky and stirring in the building, like a monstrous wind blowing from the abyss of hell.From time to time the chaotic whistling stopped and became a well-trained chorus, and what those hoarse voices chanted was that terrible prayer.

The frantic believers surrounded Sonia, who had no time to escape, and some Bayeran nobles who were on vacation in Odessa in the summer palace.Lansada, Ace and others were also repelled by the cultists, and they were trapped there together.After getting the news, several Bayeran squadrons temporarily stationed in Odessa tried to launch a rescue, but they were quickly repelled and refused to stand on several bridges and buildings on the bank of the Summer Palace Square to wait for support.

Bayeran's army is gathering here, but Odessa's strength is not weak. They sent many troops and Extraordinary people to resist in all directions, buying time for the gods to descend.

Witnessing the frightening phantasm, believers and residents of the Holy Light of Odessa who were on the verge of madness gathered together.Whether they are rich or poor, noble or ordinary, healthy or disabled, they are all calling out to their gods in unison, and dedicating their faith to their new masters—the threads of life from the Void.

"It's really like lighting a pile of firewood," Senamon said, "You need to light firewood to keep warm, but little sparks can't do this. You can only light a handful of dry grass first, and then use the dry grass to light the torch. Torches light the fire."

"Oh, it's scary," Lean looked away from the frantic city center, and said to the cavalry around him, "Hurry up and transport these three 12-pound snake guns away. The captain is really good at knowing things, how did he get them?" Does the intelligence know that there will be heavy weapons here?"

In fact, there is no evidence, but it is impossible for Bayeran to be unprepared for the Odessa conspiracy. All resources will definitely be deployed in advance and stored in various important positions.This is the port closest to the core of Odessa, and it is reasonable to find weapons.

Griffith thought to himself, but did not answer Ryan's question.He turned around and said to a Bayeran quartermaster who was guarding the warehouse: "Then, let's borrow it. Please send the bill to the reserve army headquarters of the 603 Technical Experimental Squadron for signature."

A quartermaster is trapped here with a small group of soldiers.After the chaos broke out, they stayed close to the warehouse.Hearing Griffith's words, the junior officer hesitated, not knowing whether he should refuse.

"But, sir, we can't do this according to the procedure. What are you going to do with these weapons? How should I report it?"

When the officers and soldiers of the squadron heard this, they all turned around and looked at their captain with the same puzzled eyes.

Storm Squadron and 603 Squadron entered the city of Odessa following Griffith's order.The city defense here is already riddled with holes due to chaos, and almost no one came to stop them.However, it is said that [-] city defense troops and militiamen gathered in the square in the center of the city, and hundreds of thousands of believers held terrible ceremonies in every corner.

Although everyone gathered in accordance with Griffith's request, they also found some weapons.But to challenge [-] enemies with two squadrons, hundreds of thousands of cultists, as well as extraordinary and extraordinary, this is simply committing suicide.

"Yeah, let's just put it this way..." Griffith smiled.

Everyone couldn't see his expression and eyes, but only saw the smile outlined by the resolute chin under the dark gold helmet with a narrow top and a wide bottom.

"I am Griffith de Ravenelle, Commander of the [-]nd Assault Squadron, these weapons are to free my lord, Countess Sonia de La Mole and others trapped in the Summer Palace What the people of Bayeram need. That's all."

"Is that all?!"

"Of course, it's impossible for me to challenge the hundreds of thousands of Odessa people who are holding a ceremony, or to compete with the gods they believe in. That has nothing to do with me," Griffith said, "Then, the artillery I took it away. Lean, I will go to organize our defeated army to establish a line of defense first, and you lead the rear to cover the artillery."

Everyone got busy immediately, and even the quartermaster and his soldiers helped to load the artillery and transport it by water to the pier near the square.Suster said while he was busy: "It's October now, the days of harvesting grapes are coming to an end, right?"

"Today is the last day. According to the calendar of the Odessa people, it is now the month of grapes, the month of harvesting grapes!" Bernard said.

Senamon was immediately reminded: "Speaking of which, there is a new shell in the test product, let us 603 Squadron try it out."

Lien raised his hand suddenly and interrupted their chat: "Gentlemen, the small talk is going to be another day. We have guests coming, you take these heavy artillery and go to join the captain."

"Okay, let's go then, see you at the Summer Palace Square, Lean."

"Well, see you later."

……

The Extraordinary Demon Hunter of Odessa, Diraz the Light and Shadow, led five Extraordinary men under his command from the west of the city to the city center.This Extraordinary team has three wizards, one ranger and one demon hunter, all of them are Sequence 7.

Bayeran's troops, superhumans, and powerful members of the Church of the Gods are encircling from all directions.All Odessa native regulars were sent out to meet them.

There is no need to resist for a long time, as long as the ceremony is completed and the new god descends, Odessa will be able to usher in a glorious future.

During this period, His Excellency Seydlitz led several extraordinary people to preside over the large-scale Advent Ceremony on the Summer Palace Square, and also gathered [-] city defense troops and militia guards.

"Those Byelan mice really hid something here." The extraordinary demon hunter saw a team carrying goods in the port from a distance, and the intricate waterways and streets made him unable to see clearly. "What is that?"

"Our familiar finds Byelan's cannon, my lord," replied one of the wizards, "big and useless lumps of iron, vulgar artifacts of mortals."

The extraordinary demon hunter shrugged his shoulders, decided not to take any risks, and said to a Sequence 7 demon hunter beside him, "It's the final stage, I'm going to guard the ceremony in front of the cathedral. Stara, you and Knight Lune will be responsible Guards, cover the three wizards of Perion, Ram and Torik to kill the artillery, and then join me.

"Remember, kill all these artillerymen, I don't want to see them appear on the river."

The five Extraordinary ones agreed to complete the combat mission assigned by the Extraordinary.They spread out among the buildings and roads, and each wizard picked a position with a good view to outline the magic circle.

Knight Lune covered Wizard Ram and came under a three-story building facing the river.This is the best position to attack first.

"Knight, look around, my calibration will take time, don't let the mouse bite me!" Wizard Ram took out the dust crystal, dripped quartz liquid and mercury on the ground, and entered into meditation to start configuration.

"Okay, squishy wizard." Knight Lune whispered.Holding a large shield and a warhammer, he was on guard dozens of steps away.

The surrounding area was very quiet, and the residents either fled or gathered near the sanctuary to participate in the ceremony.Just a moment more, and great glory and happiness will come.Byelan's army and strong men are still far away, and they can't stop anything!

Knight Lune sighed deeply, and raised his head very relaxed.Suddenly, he saw a burly and hideous figure appearing on the eaves above Wizard Ram's head.

"!!!"

It was a humanoid object, with black breastplate and greaves, a high spiked horn on the helmet, a large diamond-shaped shield on the left shoulder, and a black long knife in the right hand.

It is like a sculpture of a warrior, standing cold and ferocious on the roof, silent and majestic, like the warrior in the story facing the dragon, placed on the roof as a sculpture, it seems, it seems quite appropriate...

Lean's calm gaze swept across the intricate buildings and dark streets.Years of actual combat experience and the extraordinary characteristics of the lawbreaker allowed him to eliminate interference, master the terrain in a short time, and catch the enemy's traces: "A superhuman is leaving. Demon hunter 1, paladin 1, wizard 3. One of them has activated the attack spell downstairs.

"The wizard's reconnaissance and attack are very strong, and they are very threatening to the slow-moving Bernard artillery and transport ships."

He threw the rope with the pickaxe toward the chimney beside him, entangled it and pulled it tight, and jumped down.

"Enemy attack!" Knight Lune finally reacted.Extraordinary power gathered on his warhammer, calculated the trajectory of the falling enemy, and smashed it like thunder, "Smash it!"

Lien grabbed the rope with his left hand and pulled it hard, his body suffocated in the fall, the war hammer almost rubbed the soles of his feet and smashed through the wall, with a loud roar and broken stones flying everywhere.

"The first one!" Lean poured the psionic energy containing extraordinary power and demon-breaking characteristics into the armor-piercing throwing spear, and threw it towards the wizard downstairs.

Wizard Ram, who was meditating, heard a loud noise above his head, and just raised his head, the heavy spear had penetrated his shield and stuck into his mouth.

"Oh!"

The wizard exploded in front of Knight Lune, turning into a rain of flesh and blood.

"Lune! What's going on?"

The nearby team members asked questions one after another.

"Enemy, enemy!" Lune rushed to chase Lien, but lost his target in the blink of an eye between the building and the path, he shouted anxiously:

"Stara, it's a lawbreaker, coming to you, guard the wizard!"

The demon hunter in Odessa took off his throwing gun and waved his hands to make the wizard teammates back in surprise: "Pause the attack, let me deal with the spellbreaker first. Don't panic, breaking the spell is easier than eating a small cake."

Hasty steps approached.An enemy in heavy armor was rushing towards us through the empty streets.

Stara's keen six senses listened and sensed without leaving any suspicious movements.He threw his gun lightly, ready to go.As long as Byelan's Spellbreaker is in sight, he can defeat enemies with a lightning strike.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they stopped when they reached the alley ahead.Several metal balls tumbled and tumbled out of the darkness, with a burning match still attached to them.

"Bah!"

The iron ball suddenly exploded.Stara, who was engrossed, rolled his eyes and his ears were buzzing.

Hell, he's coming!Stara couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything, he waved his spear and threw it in the direction of the enemy.The Extraordinary's powerful body allowed him to get rid of the discomfort as soon as possible, and he heard the cracking sound of the thrown gun hitting the wall.

Knowing that he had missed, he hastily drew out the scimitar at his waist, and raised the saber to defend while stepping back.

"Ah! Help, help!" The Pelion wizard not far away uttered a heart-piercing cry.Stara's heart was tightened.He managed to look around in the blinding white light, only to see that the protected wizard had already knelt down on the ground, a burly black armored warrior held his head, raised a long black knife in his hand, and inserted it obliquely into his shoulder blade, and then A stir.

……

Torik, the last wizard, is on the run.While running, he dropped the bag of magic materials that he carried with him, took off his large robe, ran wildly in the alley, and shouted heart-piercingly into the distance:
"Master Diraz, save me!"

The two wizards were killed as soon as they met. The knight and the witcher who protected them were usually so loud, they were really two wastes in a fight!

Coming to me, coming to me!This suffocating breath, the turbulent flow of magic, that lawbreaker is coming towards me!
"boom!"

The wall around him suddenly shattered, and a burly figure in black armor pierced through the wall and appeared beside the wizard.The gravel from the heavy iron boots splashed, the hideous spikes on the helmet pierced the soul, and in the gaps of the black visor, the blade-like gaze was like a wild beast imprisoned, more terrifying and evil than the blood-soaked red moon.

Torik screamed in the depths of his soul: "Don't come over—!"

Before he finished speaking, the lawbreaker slammed into him with the large shield on his shoulder.There are also three triangular rams on the shield, colliding with the wizard's shield.The wizard spit out a mouthful of blood and flew out on the spot.

Lean stepped back, turned sideways, pulled out the stopper of the gun barrel under the shield, lit the matchlock, and pointed at the wizard rolling on the ground.

"Oh!"

In a series of dense explosions, three heavy buckshots from the triple barrel mounted under the shield smashed the floor and pierced the wizard's thigh.The last shot was about to smash the wizard's head, but it hit a hot flame and flew out.

Flames rose.A figure as sharp as a blade stopped in front of Lean.He turned slightly sideways, kicked the howling wizard away, and then turned around to face his enemy.

"Hey, kill two Sequence 7s in an instant, buddy, you are really not easy!"

Diraz, the Lightning Frontier, has arrived.He is young and handsome with an extraordinary temperament, his whole body is wrapped in a magnificent aura, and his powerful spirit can make people daunting.As he flipped his wrist, the flaming spear was ready to go.

Lean swept out the heat energy whip in his hand.Like a living long snake, the long whip suddenly engulfed the extraordinary man's weapon, and the unstoppable high temperature entangled with the flame of the long spear, making a burst of noise.

Diraz casually tossed down the javelin, and suddenly had a dark blue short blade in his hand, and rushed towards him.In an instant, the spellbreaker's left arm and the large shield flew out together.

"How? The gap is huge." Diraz looked at the blood on the short blade. "You slow lawbreakers have nothing to do with us. The gap in psychic power is decisive."

Lean was silent. He looked at the severed limbs on the ground, then at the blood-spitting left arm, and slowly grinned.

"Looks like it can't be combined.

"Young demon hunter, I haven't lost yet. Come on, let me teach you a lesson. The difference in spiritual power is not the key to winning or losing on the battlefield."

Lean bent down, gave up all defenses, and rushed towards the Transcendent like a wild beast with a dagger in his hand.

Diraz narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the enemy's movements. The dark blue short blade was so sharp that it could not be stopped. It tore through the breastplate like lightning, swept across the lower abdomen, opened the intestines, and then slashed towards the left leg.The Spellbreaker's left leg was amputated in the flash, revealing a slanted broken bone.

"I won." Diraz passed by the enemy, turned and circled gracefully, and said lightly.

"Win!" Rin pulled out his intestines, tore a large amount of flesh and intestines and threw them on the face of the superhuman, screaming wildly and jumped over, using his remaining right leg to land on the ground with all his strength, lifting The broken bone of the left leg kicked at the neck of the wizard who was holding his wound and panting in the corner.

The pale broken bone pierced through the tender shoulder and neck, and plunged into the throat of the terrified wizard Torik, and he shook it vigorously.

"Your eyeliner is gone, Extraordinary. Did you learn,

"Legs are not decorations!"
