Chapter 29: The fall of the palace, the murderous intention of the Spider Queen
This roar made Ren's expression change slightly, and he subconsciously turned around.
“Bang bang bang!!”
The next moment, a series of explosions sounded, swelling flames and billowing smoke rose into the sky, and half of the holy city trembled.
The location of the explosion turned out to be the Storm Palace.
It seemed that a magic circle underground exploded, and the magical energy was released like a violent wave. The earth cracked and collapsed. Several palaces and gardens above were disintegrated in the explosion, and countless masonry, stone, and sawdust were scattered.
"Um?"
Captain Richard immediately turned around and said in shock, "The palace exploded!?"
"How can this be?"
Raphael looked confused and said in disbelief, "That's one of the core hinterlands of the Holy City. It's protected by multiple formations and barriers, so it's safer than the city gate!"
The city wall hasn't been broken yet, so why would there be a problem in the palace?
Some of the legendary strong men in the city also looked puzzled. They looked at the city wall and the palace for a while, and they didn't know where to go for support.
"No, there's a mole!"
"An enemy has sneaked into the palace!"
There are also smart people who thought of the roar of the Lord of Darkness and realized that there might be a problem within the Holy City.
Seeing that several palaces had been blown up and the palace was burning and collapsing, the ministers were extremely shocked and angry. Queen Isabel's face turned pale, her little hands were holding her sleeves, her eyes were full of worry and confusion.
The palace is heavily guarded, and not just anyone can sneak in casually. Even ordinary legendary experts cannot escape the ubiquitous detection magic, agency restrictions, and early warning barriers.
Moreover, even if someone successfully sneaks in, they should not destroy it by detonating the magic circle underground.
The control panel of the formation is guarded by some core members of the royal family, including many legendary powerhouses.
Not only that, but what happened next made everyone even more stunned.
Above the palace, on the three floating cities that suppressed the sky, the rune cannon suddenly turned and aimed at Emperor Ugo, the Grand Temple of Glory, and the Emerald Cathedral floating in the center of the city, with waves of red light surging from the muzzle.
Boom boom boom!
The magic cannon was fired at his own people without hesitation. Three thick beams of destruction traversed the sky. The red light wave was hotter and more violent than the blazing sun, making people's livers and gallbladders split.
Both the Pope and the presiding judge were slightly startled.
"asshole!"
Emperor Ugo even cursed loudly.
He never dreamed that one day, he, the emperor of the empire, would be targeted by the rune cannons equipped in the floating city above the palace.
The pope frowned, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. He didn't care about attacking the evil god outside the city. He deflected the staff and shot the Holy Inquisition beam high into the sky.
There was no other way. The out-of-control magic cannon hit the Emerald Cathedral, so we had no choice but to intercept it first.
Bang!!
The Holy Inquisition beam contains huge holy power, turned into a brilliant golden energy light hammer, and collided with the magic cannon fired at the Emerald Cathedral in mid-air, and the explosion of light flames was like a huge red lotus.
It bloomed and spread, burning the sky with flames, and erupted with a deafening sound.
In order to protect himself and the Glory Temple, the Chief Judge had to turn around his famous gun.
The extremely frightened Emperor Ugo also turned his divine bow and shot a divine arrow wrapped in the power of the storm at the red beam of destruction directed at his head.
boom!!
The blue-gold divine arrow pierced the clouds and split the air, and Hou Yi smashed the magic cannon with the power of shooting the sun. The explosion of light and flames continued to bloom, burning the void of the atmosphere.
On the other side, the pure white light cannon fired by the famous gun "Glorious Wings" also counteracted the magic cannon.
The light flames exploded and expanded, and for a moment, several small suns seemed to appear above the holy city.
However, the crisis is not over.
“Bang bang bang!”
Several magic arrays on one side of the palace were operating at full capacity, even burning overload regardless of losses. The magic energy erupted out of control again, a series of explosions sounded, and a palace garden was shattered and disintegrated in the fire!
The rune cannons on the three floating cities were charged again and aimed at the Grand Temple of Glory and the Emerald Cathedral, and the remaining ordinary forts also opened fire.
Boom boom boom!
Alchemical cannonballs poured down from high in the sky like meteorite rain, and some of the palace gardens and gardens in the palace below were immediately shattered by the bombardment. Some buildings near the palace were also destroyed by artillery fire.
"Ahhh!"
"Help, help...what happened?"
The building collapsed and burned, with flying dust and smoke filling the air. Many guards and maids in the palace, as well as some unlucky nobles and ordinary citizens in the nearby streets, died instantly.
The disaster came too suddenly and broke out from within, leaving many people unprepared.
"Holy Shield!"
In the square outside the Glory Temple, the saint appeared and raised her arms.
On Artoria's palm, the rich holy energy was released like a brilliant ocean of light, forming a huge white light shield in the blink of an eye, covering most of the Holy City.
Except for the one directly below the palace that was a beat slower, all the other artillery shells fired at various areas of the city were blocked by the sacred shield.
However, the next round of attacks began again.
The three floating cities were operating again, the main guns and ordinary forts were all activated. Within the palace, several legendary magic arrays were over-operating again, and the energy veins underground began to burn.
"hateful!"
Then he used a divine arrow to smash the incoming magic cannon. Emperor Ugo, his eyes almost split, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the Storm Palace.
How could he not know what happened now.
It might be an accident once, but it wouldn't be possible twice.
Someone seized the formation console inside the Storm Palace, deliberately overloaded the magic formations and barriers, causing them to burn and explode, and also controlled the floating cities to attack them and destroy the city.
The pope and the presiding judge were naturally aware of this.
"Kate, please give this to me first."
The presiding judge glanced at the saint in the temple square, nodded to her, and immediately flew to the Emerald Cathedral.
He came to the Pope and said in a serious tone:
"That shouldn't be the case. The Zinger family's core guard should be very tight. Moreover, even if outsiders sneak in and occupy the place, they cannot use the console if they are not of royal blood, unless -"
"There is a traitor among the royal family!"
"Maybe there's more than one!"
The two senior leaders of the Holy See quickly came to a conclusion.
"You and the Saint are guarding the Glory Temple and the Emerald Cathedral respectively. I will also go to the palace to have a look."
The old pope clenched his staff and said seriously.
The core of the formation of the Storm Palace is located in an important place in the palace. It is usually guarded by high-level legendary strong men. Something happened. The infiltrator/traitor is absolutely extraordinary.
Ugo alone may not be able to eliminate the traitors.
Moreover, the demigod ancestor of the Singer family took Duke Giant Shield and Duke Savage to the Western Region, Archbishop Timo also followed, and half of the top powerhouses in the Holy City were reduced.
This is probably also a deliberate design.
The Pope was about to fly to the palace when his expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the Grand Temple.
"Giggle, giggle... She is indeed a saint of the church. She is so holy and beautiful."
A burst of charming laughter filled with extravagance and decadence rang out.
This kind of laughter is particularly penetrating, like a magic sound that penetrates the brain, seeping into the depths of everyone's heart, teasing and arousing the dark desires and bestiality in their hearts.
Some citizens in the city suddenly became short of breath, their eyes turned red, and began to insult and beat others. Some even tried to rape women.
Along with the laughter, the sky also became darker, and long shadows emerged, like spider webs, continuously connected in series above the city's buildings, weaving into a nightmare-like web.
A human-sized, extremely beautiful female dark elf walked on the spider web and walked towards the great temple.
She has a slender figure, beautiful skin like black jade, slender waist and large breasts, and seductive eyes. She is dressed boldly and revealingly. Only her vital parts are wrapped in some dark purple fabric with black edges, which invisibly stirs everyone's innermost feelings.
Desire makes people fall and perish.
Although she looks a little weird at first because of her skin color, no one would say she is ugly when they see her, nor would they associate her with a black girl.
Because she is indeed so beautiful. It is a beauty that transcends human beings and belongs to gods.
Spider Queen Rose has arrived!
Artoria's pupils shrank, her body bloomed with radiance, and countless golden light particles emerged, condensing into a suit of armor covering her silk saint attire.
She twitched her right hand, the breeze swirled, the light bloomed inch by inch, the holy sword emerged, and was pointed forward, the gorgeous sword body flowing with sharp cold light.
As if unaware, Goddess Rose descended from the sky on shadowy spider silk with her naked jade feet, and arrived in front of the Great Temple of Glory. Her red lips were slightly raised, and she looked at Artoria with a smile, her eyes filled with blood.
The red light is particularly charming.
"What a lovely little girl, I feel pity for you. I can't bear to kill you, bite your flesh and blood, and devour your soul."
Her smile was charming, but her words were unspeakably cruel.
Clang!
At the entrance of the temple, several groups of paladins drew their sharp swords, and fighting energy surged from their bodies like burning silver torches, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Several other cardinals raised their staffs and recited incantations, and the golden radiant holy power condensed. Their eyes were solemn, staring at the uninvited guests in front of them.
"Witch, back away!"
"Don't get close to the saint again!"
"Evil God, this is not a place for you to act wild."
The paladins and bishops were still very brave. Even though they knew that this female evil god was very scary, they still came forward.
Arturia didn't want their sacrifice to be in vain, so the holy sword in her hand bloomed with brilliant golden light and said:
"You all retreat into the temple and rely on defense formations. I will guard the gate."
"this……"
The knights and bishops were hesitant.
"Cackle, cluck..."
The Spider Goddess seemed to have heard some joke, she laughed loudly, the jade peaks on the exposed hemisphere trembled, and her gorgeous red lips raised, "Brave, pious, and passionate, it's so touching.
But you don’t have to worry about it, because today, you will all die!!”
Along with her cruel laughter, the evil and corrupt dark power surged out like a world-destroying tsunami, and countless shadow lines weaved in the air like black snakes, falling towards the Glory Grand Temple.
boom!!
The formation barrier in the Glory Temple was activated, and the dazzling holy power bloomed, colliding fiercely with the spreading shadow network!
On one side is the corrosive and sticky evil divine power, and on the other side is the glorious holy flame that purifies everything. The two forces are constantly colliding, colliding, and canceling each other out. The temple is shaking inside and outside, and the void is cracking.
Although there were some formations nearby to suppress them, they were ignored by the goddess Rose.
She has a cruel smile and purple-black divine power flowing from her body, making her feel like she is in a deserted place in the Holy City.
At this time, there was a problem in the Storm Palace. One-third of the formations and barriers in the Holy City were unable to operate normally. The power of the formations controlled by the Emerald Cathedral had to be transported to the city wall again.
The formation centered on the Great Temple of Glory alone is no longer enough to suppress the incarnation of a dark lord.
The three core formations of the Royal Palace, the Great Temple, and the Emerald Cathedral are indispensable. If one link is missing, the defense of the Holy City will be greatly weakened, and even loopholes and blind spots will appear.
The enemy also knew this very well, and tried to usurp it, paralyzing the power of the formation controlled by the palace.
"Is your target me?"
Arturia ordered the bishop and knights to retreat into the great temple, and stood alone at the door, holding the holy sword tightly, and looking at the goddess Rose coldly.
"Well, we may not care if someone is trying to become a god, but not the goddess of light."
The eyes of Spider Goddess Rose surged with filthy blood, and the sinister divine power danced with the extension of her fingers. She licked her red lips with her tongue, and said with a bloodthirsty smile, "I have to bite your head into pieces. I hope your blood can
Make me satisfied."
………
Holy City, West Gate.
After hearing the explosion from the palace, Ren's eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at the orc god outside the city, and said:
"It seems you have made a lot of preparations."
It was actually the core formation in the Storm Palace that was the first to cause problems, which was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.
His previous conjectures were that the enemy poisoned his sister, assassinated her, or seduced the emperor and bribed the dukes and marquises of the empire.
Basically, they are all plotting against big figures in the empire.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Or find a way to lure the sister or the emperor out of the Holy City, and then control or ambush them.
But he didn't expect that the enemy's goal was to paralyze the formation.
The orc god Gruumsh got a chance to breathe. Now that the Holy City has too much to take care of, he only needs to face the city wall and the soldiers guarding the city. The pressure is much less, and he said with a ferocious smile:
"Hahahaha... I realize now that it's already too late. As long as we are strong enough, there is no need for sophisticated calculations. If we take away the advantage of the field, we can wash the Holy City with blood and sweep everything away!"
"How dare you say that, you beast-man bastard."
Ren held the magic blade horizontally and looked at him with cold eyes. At the same time, he gestured to Captain Richard, asking him to return to defense immediately.
It's useless for the old captain to stay here. If he returns to the defense, he might be able to help a little bit.
Captain Richard looked a little hesitant. When he heard the loud noises coming from the direction of the palace, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the palace with golden fighting spirit.
Gonzalez and Rafael also asked all the soldiers to withdraw, and also stopped some legendary strongmen who were coming, telling them not to get too close.
Because the palace was out of control, the formation and barrier power on the city wall were significantly weakened.
Seeing the much dimmed magic barrier and rune brilliance, the orc god Gruumsh grinned ferociously, drew out a dark red spear with overwhelming evil power, and strode over.
The bloodthirsty single eye in the center of his head stared at the soldier master and said:
"Kid, suffer death!"
He was beaten by a group of people just now, so he looked very embarrassed.
He didn't believe that a newcomer who had just used the alien system to become a god could defeat a veteran god with deep knowledge and rich experience like him.
Ren sneered, and simply rushed out of the city. He was in the air, and the cold light of the magic blade in his hand was strong, and he slashed forward.
boom!!
In an instant, a blue beam of light fell from the sky. It was a substantial blade of destruction. The dazzling edge seemed to split the sky in half, and the killing intent was earth-shattering!
"Well done!"
Gruumsh, the main god of the orcs, was also a strong man who had experienced hundreds of battles. The battle blood boiled in his body. He roared, raised his dark red spear, and shot it straight into the sky.
Bang!!
The sword shines brightly, the spear shines through the sky, two terrifying attacks collide in mid-air, tearing the sky apart, and the space debris explodes into a stream of particles, setting off a wave of destruction!
However, neither of them gave in. After the blow, they rushed towards each other at full speed.
Clang, Clang, Clang————!
The two men brandished swords and raised guns as they kept clashing. The sound was deafening, and the roaring sound was like two giant beasts fighting in the sky. Every collision shook the earth!
There are no fancy skills, only the simplest and most primitive struggle. The force generated by the collision of the sword light and the gun light explodes again and again, turning into a devastating hurricane that constantly shakes the barrier and blows in all directions.
In an instant, the outside of the city had turned into ruins!
