Chapter 226 116: Seeking Help

"Mr. President, all communications are now cut off. I suggest that we immediately enter the bunker and wait and see what happens."

On the tower, a little further away from the previous parades, the staff kept persuading Vicchi.

But Vic was so absorbed in watching that it took him a while to respond: "Do you think we can hide from these devils?"

"That's better than sitting here and waiting to die."

"See? Right there, our troops are gathering. They may not recognize who the commander-in-chief is, but they will definitely recognize me. If I hide now, who else can unite them?"

"And His Excellency the Lieutenant General."

"I'm afraid he has already hidden himself. Get ready. Let's go down and lead our troops to fight side by side with our seniors."

".Yes, as you command."

His staff stopped trying to persuade him. He never dreamed that with his position, he would one day have to fight on the battlefield.

Taking a deep breath and tightening his coat, Vic was unusually nervous. Not because he was about to go into battle, but because he was going to face those martyrs who had fought in the Great Patriotic War. He didn't know what expression he should have. Would they be disappointed with the current situation?

Shaking his head to dispel distracting thoughts, Vicchi walked down the tower and rushed to where the troops were gathering.

Red Square.

Next to the black door, Augustus quietly looked at the red door opposite, his eyes deep, and whispered: "Use Transfiguration to simply and crudely replace this part of the complicated technique? As expected of a professor, your Transfiguration technique has reached a level far beyond mine, but is it all worth it?"

He looked back at the stone platform, which was already nearly half filled with soul matter.

"Demon Lord, those good thoughts can cause damage to the gate. If you don't get out, you may be buried in there for the rest of your life." He reminded lightly.

"It doesn't matter. They are no threat to me. On the contrary, I am very interested in you now. Very interested."

The Demon Lord's voice floated out from the door.

Hearing the words of the Demon Lord, the baron next to Augustus felt his scalp tingling and clenched his hands, ready to activate the most powerful summoning technique at any time. Heath glanced at Augustus, and seeing that he had no reaction, he continued to look towards the direction of Red Square.

"A pleasant cooperation is the foundation for more cooperation in the future. I have always adhered to this principle." Augustus' expression remained unchanged, staring at the looming eyes behind the black door. "Similarly, I also hope that the other party will abide by this principle, whether actively or passively."

"What if I say no?" The black fog rolled, and wisps of black smoke were like tentacles, slowly approaching Augustus in a semicircular arc.

"In that case, I'm afraid I can only stop the loss in time." Augustus placed his right hand lightly on the soul filtering device on the stone platform. The next second, several cracks suddenly appeared on the black door.

If you don't have a backup plan, how dare you make a deal with the devil?

"Haha, I admire your decisiveness. I believe that we will have more opportunities to cooperate." The Demon Lord swiftly retracted the black mist and stopped probing. Augustus also withdrew his hand, as if he completely believed the Demon Lord's words.

"If the opponent's strength is limited to this, I don't think I need to take action. At most, I can give the kids a little boost."

After the Demon Lord finished saying this, a long tube like a cannon barrel slowly appeared above the huge black gate, and it sprayed streams of sticky, clumpy substances forward, which spread on the body of the black fire skeleton like asphalt.

"Good boys, end the lives of those on the other side."

In the blink of an eye, large areas of black fire skeletons were stained with large amounts of sticky liquid. Some skeletons that were resisting the opponent were even paused and were directly taken away by the fire red skeletons.

But soon, the "contaminated" skeleton began to grow fresh pink flesh and blood crazily. The flesh buds seemed to have life, waving their tentacles like sea lilies. In a short while, a monster that could not be described in words grew on the basis of the bone frame.

The skeleton that originally looked like a knight has now merged with the mount and even the several skeletons next to it. The strange limbs that looked like loose pieces stretched out and easily crushed the fiery red skeletons that rushed towards it one after another, turning them into handfuls of ashes that flew away.

"Evil!"

Seeing this, the many fiery red skeletons around immediately formed a huge white bone giant, sweeping away the group of black fire skeletons in front of them, and confronted one of the monsters directly to stop it from continuing to wreak havoc.

Bang bang, cannon fire.

Another batch of tanks that had just arrived from the rear had completed assembly and were, under the command of Vicchi, bombarding and blocking other flesh monsters, while the infantry formed a defense line around the giant red gate.

On one side of the Red Square, Jennifer managed to muster up her courage and rushed towards Augustus next to the huge black gate.

Augustus watched with great interest the holy light power displayed by Jennifer. This ability against demons was what the divine grace currently lacked, and he was instinctively curious about the principle behind it.

Before Augustus could make a move, the demon lord in the huge black gate splashed another round of black liquid. More flesh and blood monsters were born in front of the gate and began to swarm forward desperately. What's more, some of them directly assembled into a semicircular building of flesh and blood, with countless limbs extending outward to block Jennifer, making it difficult for her to get close to the gate for a while.

"It really doesn't work."

Jennifer did not continue to force it, but began to fight and retreat. Anyway, her purpose was just to divert the other party's attention.

I hope Ye Jie’s holy object is really useful.

However, Jennifer took the time to look at the increasingly bad situation. When the giant red gate first appeared, the fiery red skeletons were indeed surging. Skeletons that seemed to be burning with flames assembled themselves to form skeleton giants, skeleton tanks and even skeleton Katyushas, ​​creating an almost crushing situation.

But with the power of the Demon Lord behind the huge black gate, all this was quickly reversed.

"Ye Jie, you have to hurry up."

Jennifer took a moment to look at the blood curtain in the north and muttered.

Sixty kilometers!

The only thing Ye Jie remembered clearly in his mind now was this distance, which was the straight-line distance to the Cathedral of the Assumption.

In the blood curtain, her physical strength was severely limited. Even to rush to the edge of the blood curtain, she had to use more energy-saving jumping and running, like a nimble white cat walking on the roofs of cars on the chaotic road.

"Help! Who can help me!"

"In the end what happened?"

"Damn it, there are crazy people everywhere, everywhere!"

All I could see was chaos.

The Demon Lord, who was accumulating strength in Red Square, did not forget his base.

Just as everyone expected, he had spread a large number of infected bugs in advance. Now, because of the communication cut off, the infected people could hardly be stopped. Except for some gunmen who temporarily formed a self-protection alliance and the police station took the initiative to absorb and protect civilians, the infected people were simply rampant.

Ye Jie had an illusion that this situation was similar to the "survival crisis" he had seen when he was still with his teacher.

kill!

An infected person in front of him who happened to be blocking Ye Jie's path was trying to break the rear window, preparing to attack the crying passengers inside. As for the driver, he was lying on the ground in a crippled state, staining the entire car and the ground red.

Ye Jie's Holy Light Dagger cut off the left half of his shoulder at a speed that gave him no time to react and dodge. In an instant, the demon in his shoulder let out a dying scream, and the infected person lost his strength and vital signs, lying on the car window, staring at the passengers inside with wide eyes, causing them to scream continuously.

There was no pause at all, all this was done just for the sake of convenience, and there were more than just this car facing danger around.

But she couldn't waste time here. Red Square was the key battlefield. If she lost there, it would be too late. By then, the whole city would become a den of ghosts, and every living thing would be a breeding ground for the devil.

At the same time, she was full of self-blame. Why did she make such a low-level mistake? If she had searched for more information when she came to Mo City, it would have been a simple detour.

Even if it was yesterday evening when we just arrived in Mo City, it was still in time.

The blood-red screen was getting closer and closer. There was a lot of noise below. Vehicles were completely piled up here, lying in all directions like abandoned cans. "We can't get out. Everyone, disperse quickly. The more people there are, the more demons there are!"

Someone shouted like this, but no one was willing to leave, and they kept trying to break through the bloody curtain over and over again.

But no matter how many times, they were powerless against this seemingly soft and powerless fog. Bullets could be shot directly into it, but people and other creatures could not pass through.

Ye Jie didn’t know whether he could get out, but he had to try.

Praying silently, Ye Jie asked the Lord to grant him the power to break through this blood curtain.

As always, the prayer was answered and a power she had never experienced before was activated.

"Empty?"

Ye Jie's eyes lit up, and he entered the void directly, then crossed the blood curtain.

Her eyes blurred and she came out unhindered. At this time, the vehicle entrance and exit outside had been blocked by the police who rushed over. They kept calling their colleagues inside, but got no response. There were also many people who looked like experts wearing chemical protective suits, approaching the blood curtain and trying to collect samples.

Compared to inside, the order here is still within normal range, and even the sky is still bright. Although the sun has set, the sky is still shining blue.

"call."

She let out a long breath, and her lost strength returned, as if an invisible shackle had been broken. Without time to sigh, she quickly took off into the air and flew at full speed towards the northeast. As for whether she would have no strength to return, she would think about it when she came back.

Jennifer, you have to hold on.
“This is simply unbearable!”

Jennifer had already begun to lose control, and she swore that even during the several days she had been hanging out with Owen, she had never been as close to her limit as she was today.

Looking at the silver cross in his palm, even if he gathered his strength again, he could only gather a small holy light dagger, which could not even break the monster's defense!

[This is a big trouble]

A voice suddenly appeared in Jennifer's mind, instantly lifting her spirit that was on the verge of collapse, as if she had regained a lot of strength out of thin air.

She looked at the ring that she wore on her chest and kept carefully. It was the one that Owen gave her when they were in New York.

"Owen! Is that you?" she shouted excitedly at the ring.

[.Well, it seems that something unexpected happened to the holy relic of the Demonbard family]

In fact, Bai Shihang’s communication with her had nothing to do with the ring.

"You, you know Ye Jie?!" Jennifer remembered that this was Ye Jie's last name. She didn't know what was going on psychologically, but the Holy Light Dagger in her hand suddenly expanded into a Holy Light Greatsword, and she cut the flesh and blood monster that had just fought with her in equal measure in half, causing the monster to howl in pain.

[I know his teacher. The situation is urgent. You should go to the Cathedral Square of the Kremlin now. Use the Holy Light with all your strength there and you will get a response.]

".yes."

Jennifer swung her sword again, completely finishing off the flesh and blood monster in front of her. The Holy Light Sword shrank back into a Holy Light Dagger again. Then she jumped a few times, stepped on the heads of various flesh and blood monsters, and ran towards the Kremlin.

After a while, she reached the tower. Looking down, she could see the precarious fiery red skeletons. They were fighting side by side with the Northern Alliance troops, dyeing every inch of the square red. The huge red gate was also enduring one long-range attack after another from the black fire monsters. It had been covered with cracks since she didn't know when, and pieces of it were slowly peeling off, and even the originally dazzling red had dimmed a lot.

Jennifer didn't dare to waste any more time and quickly came to the center of the church square. She saw that the Patriarch was still there, leading a group of clergymen, praying with an indescribable emotion, as if hoping to do their part.

Of course, if spiritual prayers are no longer useful, there are piles of guns nearby, and they are ready to switch to physical prayers at any time.

"Why are you still here?" Jennifer remembered seeing many priests fleeing when the war first started.

"This is our last home. If the evil wants to destroy it, it can just step over our dead bodies." The Patriarch was wearing a lot of bullets and holding two machine guns, which looked quite intimidating with his gold and red bishop's robe.

"Uh"

"So Sister Jennifer, what's the situation outside?" Perhaps he was a little tired of holding the gun all the time, so he put the gun down, touched the old bottle of vodka that he had treasured for a long time at his waist, and asked nervously.

"It's not very good, so now, I'm here to ask for help." Jennifer looked at the expectant eyes of the other priests and nuns around her and shook her head.

The Patriarch was not too surprised and took out the vodka: "Everyone! Let's drink this glass and fight the devil! There are so many brothers and sisters on the last road, it's worth it! Hurrah!"

Gulp, the group of people drank the wine in big gulps.

"Burp! Sister Jennifer, although you are a heretic, thank you for everything you have done for Mocheng. How hateful! It was not until this moment that I suddenly realized that what does heresy matter if you are a heretic? At least we are all human beings. Only the devil is our mortal enemy! Come on, we are ready and can launch a charge at any time!" Everyone stopped praying and picked up their weapons. The Patriarch also picked up his machine gun with a flushed face.

Jennifer felt that they might have misunderstood. Coincidentally, she had also adjusted her breathing almost enough to unleash a powerful holy light.

"Actually, when I asked for help, I didn't mean to ask for your help."

"Huh?"

The Patriarch's boiling blood seemed to be poured with a kettle of ice water.

Ignoring the Patriarch, Jennifer took a deep breath with a solemn expression. Holy light shone on her body, full of holiness. Within a few breaths, the holy light became more and more dazzling, leaving the Patriarch and the others stunned. After a while, they knelt on the ground one after another and prayed again.

In fact, Jennifer didn't know where the reinforcements were, but she believed Owen's words unconditionally and used all her strength to activate the holy light.

"Hoo-ho-ho!"

Jennifer landed lightly on the ground, her steps a little unsteady, she covered her chest and breathed heavily. Perhaps it was because she had behaved too holy just now, like a saint descended to the earth, and now even the nun did not dare to stand up and support her.

"Still... not enough?" Jennifer looked around nervously.

There seemed to be no other movement around except the artillery fire on the battlefield and the prayers beside him.

"The angel is moving." The Patriarch's ears twitched, he turned his head to look in one direction and stretched out his finger. There was a being he was extremely familiar with.

Everyone looked in the direction they were looking at, and saw an angel statue that they had become completely accustomed to and even ignored on a normal day slowly shaking its head, and a thin layer of stone skin slowly fell off.

Not only this one, but almost at the same time, two, three, or even all the angels moved.

The statue of the angel looked at the people in the middle of the square, as if smiling. Then, it spread its wings, broke away from the building it was in, and flew into the sky, silently flying towards the battlefield.

"Oh, God."

"My Lord."

"Please forgive my past sins!"

Looking at the angel's back, the Patriarch suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly, "Oh my God! It turns out that the angel has always been by my side. I even seemed to have broken the commandments during the Great Fast!"

I'm done, it's all over!

Not only the Patriarch, but also the priests and nuns who were also devout believers were in a panic. If you really want to be picky, it seems that they are not so strict in keeping the precepts. At least no one can guarantee 100% that they have not violated any taboos.

"I believe God won't mind."

Jennifer finally felt relieved because of the unexpected reinforcements, and she even felt like comforting others.
