Crunch…

Crunchy...

An unpleasant sound came from the empty wasteland, like bones rubbing against a hard object.

"Hmm..."

The man whose tongue was cut off scratched his buttocks and continued to lie down and blow the air.

Due to the existence of bad soil, the Holy City is surrounded by desert swamps, and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large.

As the gate of the Holy City, the ventilation here is very good, so it is very suitable to lie down here to cool down after filling your stomach.

In the past, this was the privilege of knights, but because of the coming of the conquering army, slaves can also take advantage of it today.

"Ahh..."

As if feeling a little noisy, a slave opened his eyes and saw a contaminated person with only half a body, crawling to his feet and chewing it with his rotten mouth.

“Ahhhh!

"

The slave subconsciously kicked him in the face and backed away a meter away in horror.

There seemed to be something swaying in the distance. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and saw more polluted people climbing up from the mud.

The Holy City has been blessed by God, so it stands to reason that no one would be polluted within a radius of ten kilometers.

But as the slave continued to look away, he saw a rapidly spreading black tide.

The polluted people are like migrating cattle, coming to the pilgrimage city in dense numbers!

"ah!

"

Such a horrific scene made the slaves scream and rush into the city.

Q, who used the drone to monitor the surroundings, soon discovered something strange here. She sent the drone to fly outside the city, and the expression on her face gradually became panicked.

"What is this special thing? Dead siege?"

After thinking for about two seconds, Q immediately climbed out of the life-support capsule and put it into the ring.

Although Zhao Miaomiao stepped forward to deal with the remaining emissaries and freed the firepower of the Black and White Knights, the battle in the church was not over yet.

The number of Templar Knights is estimated to be more than a thousand, but a quarter of the crusade has died, and Zhao Miaomiao's mental strength can hardly keep up.

If we add the hundreds of thousands of polluted people, no one in this city would be able to survive!

Now there is no news from Li Tianxiu and others. After much deliberation, the only chance to make a comeback is the six magic cannons.

"Everyone! Listen!"

Q carried Sheila on his back, jumped to a high place with a spider spear, used a loudspeaker to amplify his voice, and asked loudly: "Do you want to live?!"

The paladins are not very good at working, so in addition to the unselected sacrifices in the Holy City, there are also some residents who already live here.

These people are not all slaves, but also farmers and low-level laborers. There should be four to five hundred in total.

But because they had been oppressed by the Esoteric Cult for a long time, when they saw the crusade attacking the church, no one responded.

These slightly threatening words made many people close their doors and hide their bodies for fear of misfortune.

If I told them directly about the outbreak of the demonic tide, I'm afraid not all of them would run away.

"what happened?"

A homeless slave could not resist the pressure and couldn't help asking.

More slaves also looked over, because they had no choice.

"The bodies of the Quds Force were piled in the back, where were their weapons and armor.

Pick it up and meet at the Dawn Tavern in five minutes. We are going to take down the cathedral."

As soon as he finished speaking, the interest that was not easily aroused on the slaves' faces suddenly disappeared.

Looking across the numb faces of these people, Q cursed with hatred: "I know you don't dare!

But the Holy City Army guards the door of the cathedral, and when the demonic tide comes, they will definitely close the door.

And if we can’t capture the magic cannon when the demonic tide comes in, no one in this city will be able to survive.”

"Demon Tide?"

Hearing this dangerous word, everyone's heart tightened, but they soon became discouraged.

Because the demon tide is almost insulated from the Holy City, they have never experienced it.

Only the slave who ran from the city gate shouted something "Wow wow wow". Seeing that no one understood him, he ran straight to the place where the Templar knights dumped their bodies.

The slaves on the roadside looked puzzled. Seeing that the time had come, Q projected the drone's picture on a backlit wall.

"Look, this is the scene outside the city. They are already here. They number in the tens of thousands. They can get here in about fifteen minutes."

Q's tone became cold and he moved to the slave below: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the city gate and see it yourself.

So, all of you, take up arms and help us capture the cathedral.

After seizing the church door, we will also close the door and not welcome anyone who is unwilling to fight.

As for the rest of you, wish yourselves well."

After saying that, Q jumped off the roof and walked straight to Joanna: "Let's go to your uncle's place."

"ah……"

Joanna hesitated for two seconds, but still followed.

As the two groups expressed their stance, more slaves followed.

Although they had just eaten their first full meal of the year today, their empty bodies were very thin.

But in addition to longbows and rune swords, Paladins are also equipped with crossbows.

Crossbows can be used with just one pull. Even if you don't know how to aim, there are so many enemies that you can hit them with random shots.

"Demon Tide?"

Civilians were not the only ones who were notified. During the fierce battle, Zhao Miaomiao only felt a numb scalp.

The two thousand people of the Holy City Army were almost killed until they gave up. Even if they lined up to kill a hundred thousand demons, they still wouldn't be able to kill them all.

"I don't have enough explosives. I need the White Knight to cease fire first..."

"Cease fire first? Are you kidding me?" Zhao Miaomiao blurted out.

"Don't worry, I will bring you some people who can share some of the pressure. You guys should find a way to withstand it first." Q had no choice.

Although the life-saving capsule can quickly replenish mental energy, the space is limited, and the materials she brought are no longer enough.

Compared with those Templar Knights who are fully armed and have their own holy shields, the effective damage caused by missiles to infected people will be much greater.

In terms of cost performance, it is definitely better to save it for later.

But the premise is that the crusade army can withstand it.

“Sheila, do you still have it with you?”

Zhao Miaomiao took the time to ask.

"I have it with me, what's wrong?" Q replied.

To be honest, if she hadn't told her in advance, she would have really wanted to throw this vegetable away.

"She now belongs to an alchemy creature with good fighting ability. As long as you inject the gem in her heart with the medicine I gave you, she will be able to fight."

Zhao Miaomiao sighed and said: "It's just that when she is activated, she will be indistinguishable between us and the enemy. If you airdrop her before the attack, you can capture the gate faster.

As for whether she can survive in the end, it depends on her life."

As a doctor, she was originally unwilling to do such a thing, but now she has no choice.

"I see."

Q looked back at Sheila, then took off the divine messenger's robe from the pile of corpses and put it on for her.

She shook her head gently and looked back at the standing civilians with a look of disappointment on her face.

Perhaps out of fear of the liquidation of the Tantric Cult, some civilians with relatively good lives did not even leave their homes and chose to be self-deceiving ostriches.

After five minutes, there were less than 200 old, weak, sick and disabled people present.
