However, in the Ganquan Palace, the center of the inner ring of Seine City, it is quiet and solemn. As the founder and current ruler of the Burgundian dynasty, King John, known as the "Fearless One", is dressed in an unusually gorgeous outfit.
Wearing military uniform, he knelt quietly in front of the tall altar and prayed.
He has big eyes and a broad face, and his muscles are taut and full of strength. His hair is loose and thick, and his facial lines are deep and wrinkled. He has a majestic and stern look that is easily associated with a lion.
.Therefore, he is also respected and described as having the bearing of a natural king.
The bright and mottled sunshine, through the stained glass mosaics on the huge high windows, turned into bright spots of light, shining on him and making him look particularly pious and sacred. However, this solemn and solemn atmosphere soon disappeared.
It was broken by the violent movement of the door slamming open.
Then there were the faint shouts of killing in the distance, which was an endless battle; it also tore apart the illusion of peace in the palace. Surrounded by several white-robed and white-armored knights wearing dark blue cross cloaks; wearing high crowns with holy symbols on their heads.
, Archbishop Roussillon, with his broad white cassock trailing to the floor, broke into it.
However, the current Archbishop of the Capital Region/Archbishop of the Kingdom/Metropolitan of Seine City appointed by the Burgundian Dynasty could not hide his worry and eagerness. He almost rushed to the altar regardless of his age, and
He asked repeatedly: "Your Majesty, why are you still here?"
"Our troops and soldiers are fighting hard and need your personal leadership and instructions." "When will the reinforcements agreed to arrive in the north arrive?" "When will the several regiments on the southern front arrive?
Return?" "Your Majesty, please open your eyes and take a look. Our only soldiers and followers are suffering continuous losses and retreat, and we need your encouragement and rewards." "The six city defense generals you appointed have been
Four of them have completely lost contact." "Do you still expect those half-hearted ministers?"
"Are you...finished?" However, King John just listened quietly to what the other party said, and then slowly stood up. Although he did not have any weapons in his hands, the pressure and pressure that came to his face were overwhelming.
The feeling of suffocation made the knight beside Roussillon take two steps back.
"Your Majesty, have you awakened your ancient bloodline at this critical moment?" On the contrary, Lu Xiyong took a deep breath without realizing it and asked: "This is really great...soldiers on the front line,
We need your heroic demeanor to show off your power."
"Luang?" However, King John suddenly called him by his secular name and said: "We have known each other for thirty years, right? At that time, you were still an acolyte of the bishop of the Wang family; and I was just an acolyte.
A hunting captain in the royal court; then agreed to support each other."
"Your Majesty?" Archbishop Roussillon asked with some confusion: "Of course I am very grateful to Your Majesty for the help and support you have given me over the years; but, what you said has nothing to do with the current imminent situation.
relationship and help?”
"Luang, you know that when the five princes came to power together, my Burgundian victorious army and I were the first to be jointly attacked by others." However, King John suddenly asked an unrelated topic.
: "The Archduke Alemanni even claimed to have killed me."
"In fact, all my subordinates, vassals, and close guards were all killed or injured in the raid; and the person who put on my robes and died in my stead was also a cousin of mine. And I can only
Like a rat in a ditch, it fled along the river into the underground of Seine City."
"But it was also at this desperate moment that I, who was unfortunately lost in the maze of the catacombs, also encountered that special 'being'; although it had been sleeping for a long time and still had no way to wake up, but inadvertently,
Destroyed the pursuers who went deep underground."
"This is also the first time I know that the legends about the Ancient One in the royal family are real. Although He has been extremely weak and can hardly respond to external stimulation, he still provided me with
A crucial turning point..."
"Your Majesty, you..." Upon hearing this, Archbishop Roussillon's face changed slightly: "How can you continue to rely on the power of heresy? This is blasphemy and betraying the grace of God. However, this has been many years in the past.
I believe you have already..."
"No, no..." King John turned to him and sighed: "I have actually been relying on and using 'His' power; it's just that you and most people in the church can't see it. After all, God
There has never been a response, but 'He' can provide strength."
"That's enough..." As if his heart was hurt, Roussillon scolded sadly: "You are the supreme king in the world, and I have no way to stop or restrict you; but as a servant of God, I will never
I will recognize and support your actions; I will lead my subordinates..."
And as if in response to his declaration, the knights in white robes did not hesitate to draw their swords in front of the Archbishop Roussillon, making a vigilant and alert attack posture. However, the next moment
, these knights suddenly stiffened, and then fell down one after another.
Their faces quickly turned black, and they fell straight to the ground like puppets and sculptures. Then with a faint hissing sound, several people shrouded in black robes
, stepped out from behind the pillars and from the shadows, and dragged these knights away.
"..." After experiencing this scene, Archbishop Roussillon fell to the ground in shock and inexplicable horror, pointing his finger at King John and trembling so much that he could not speak. King John then walked up to him and sighed:
"After so many years of absorption, He is really too weak."
"Therefore, more weighty soul and flesh sacrifices are needed. Since neither you nor the church members behind you are willing to support me, you can only try to find another way to help me. Don't worry, I will do a good job
Treat your mistresses and your only illegitimate son favorably."
"John, John, you can't, you can't hurt me!" However, Roussillon struggled up from the ground and said: "I am the representative and symbol of the church. If I don't exist, how can you face the doubts of those people?
How many people will truly obey you..."
The next moment, a man in black robes stood up and lifted his hood; a face that was squirming suddenly was revealed, and finally solidified into the general appearance of Roussillon. "Transformer!" Seeing this scene
Roussillon lost his voice and said: "Stop, I can..."
However, a man in black robes quietly touched behind Roussillon. Then he wrapped around him weakly and bonelessly. Suddenly he raised his head and bit his neck. Then Roussillon's face became flushed, and then gradually turned pale.
Like snow, she showed an expression of confusion and confusion.
In the end, what slipped out of the too-large robe and fell to the ground was a pair of shriveled and yellowed bones. Then, both the black-robed vampire and the shape-shifter who was trying to stabilize his image all respectfully paid respect to King John.
He saluted: "Ancient blood descendant, please give me your order."
"Let all the blood knights in the church gather at the Sacred Heart Church!" King John nodded and said: "With this batch of energetic and energetic blood sacrifices, we should be able to continue to pollute the guardian of the former royal family.
Or, it will continue to maintain the activity of the extract for a period of time.”
"Then, let's release all the hungry and thirsty failures in the underground experimental site! After sacrificing and consuming such a huge amount of resources and population, they should be put to one last use. Then fully activate those seeds between the cities.
, let’s create more chaos.”
"After all, since these humble people have eaten relief food for so many days, it is time for them to pay the price." King John nodded and said: "Since the enemy has penetrated deep into this city, it is time for them to arrive.
It’s time for us to launch a full-scale counterattack.”
However, when these beings hidden in the darkness quietly left one after another with a rustling sound, a knight wrapped in thick patterned plate armor walked out from behind the tall altar and hummed to King John.
: "Your Majesty, the Knights respectfully obey your orders."
"Keep an eye on these aliens carefully." King John said with a cold face: "Although I have used the power of the ancients to reach a blood contract with them, it does not mean that they have received enough sacrifices and blood.
After eating, they will not try to fight or bite me back..."
So that night, the Free Army soldiers who had suspended their offensive and were consolidating their defense lines suddenly discovered that many strange and strange creatures such as corpses and skeletal dogs suddenly appeared in the streets and sewers behind them; and they took the initiative to go crazy.
Attacking all living creatures it sees and hears.
And in the homes of citizens in some neighborhoods, shrill screams and calls for help were also heard; however, one after another, in full view of family members, suddenly fell to the ground vomiting, and then their bodies suddenly deformed.
, sprouting thick manes and fangs and claws;
Then, after unconsciously biting the family members around them to death, they rushed out of the street driven by some invisible force. Therefore, just this night, the whole city of Seine once again fell into great chaos.
and were wavering; but at this moment, the counterattack from the inner ring area came quietly.
Troops marched out from several royal palaces, wearing conjoined plate and chain armor, armed with long swords, axes, halberds and spears. Amidst the sound of some kind of low horn, they flowed through the streets like a surge in the dark.
alleys; mercilessly slaughtering and slaughtering all living creatures that could be encountered.
Wherever they passed, the lights and illumination of large blocks were quickly extinguished and plunged into continuous darkness. However, the darkness seemed to have no impact on them, and instead became their shelter and cover. Only the moonlight that occasionally penetrated the clouds could
