Chapter 625: The Final Battle

...

"Lady Zero, Maggie can't hold on much longer."

Vanilla turned her head, her face filled with worry.

"Wait a little longer."

Zero stared intently at the roof above, her face as still as water. Although they were underground, the vault was brightly lit. The God's Punishment Army was moving forward along a network of horizontal and vertical tunnels, gradually devouring the enemy's positions. But it was obvious that their progress was slowing down.

Each passage was guarded by a large number of soldiers. The straight tunnels were almost impossible to avoid. Throwing spears would inevitably lead to being shot down by snow powder weapons. They could only rely on numbers to fill the gaps between the trenches. Many pit bottoms were already filled with blue blood.

As for the surface, it was even harder to advance.

Although the God's Punishment Warriors could leap over the iron wire fences that were impossible to cut or flatten, their figures would be exposed to enemy fire, especially from the four guard towers behind the line of defense. The deadly flames had hardly stopped.

Perhaps the third trench was the limit for the God's Punishment Army.

Damn it, she never expected things to fall into such a stalemate.

She had made ample preparations for this day to come.

For example, finding the location of Roland Wimbledon.

The envoy's peace talks were just a front. It would be better if they could meet him, but it wouldn't matter if they couldn't. The letter written in the Pope's name revealed some secrets about the Church and the Battle of Divine Will. Others might laugh off this seemingly unbelievable news, but the Pope's name was a guarantee.

What's more, everything she had written was true. Even if Roland had a witch who could discern truth from handwriting, he wouldn't be able to see through any flaws.

The surface of the letter was coated with a special powder - an alchemical product developed by the Secret Intelligence Agency, which could emit a scent undetectable by ordinary people. Each time the paper was touched, this scent would accumulate and seep into the skin, making it difficult to remove even with washing.

Zero was confident that they would be delivered to Roland one after another. No ruler would be uninterested in such shocking secrets, nor would they casually show the letters to others. As a result, the scent on him would definitely be the strongest of all. Although he looked no different from ordinary people, this scent was the most prominent beacon under Vanilla's nose.

When Vanilla used her ability, she could smell many incredible scents. According to her, a month-old bloodstain still emitted a faint fishy smell, and she could also detect the strange smell surging on the skin of animals when they were in estrus.

At this moment, Roland was no more than a thousand steps away from them.

Secondly, considering that there might be witches in the enemy camp who could observe magic power, Zero did not hesitate to use the God's Punishment Army and the Judgment Army to attract all the attention of the Graycastle defense line, and even some less important Pure Ones were used as sacrifices. The true combatants were hidden deep underground, relying on Maggie's magic ark to travel between the rock layers.

And the final key to breaking the situation lay with Black Veil.

As one of the three Pure Ones with the highest rank in the Holy City, valued by Oberon, her ability was like the Grim Reaper's arrival to unprotected mortals. Before adulthood, anyone who met her gaze would sincerely feel fear from the depths of their hearts. After adulthood, this ability was further enhanced. As long as they saw her eyes, they would be deprived of their minds by fear, and kill themselves or harm those around them in mad and horrifying delusions.

At the same time, Black Veil's awakened branch ability was also extremely powerful. A single gaze was no longer limited to creating fear, but rather illusions that were difficult to distinguish from reality. Although it could only affect one person at a time, it could be surprisingly effective at crucial moments—Archbishop Teflen had never doubted the Pope's orders, and that was due to Black Veil's ability.

Under the gaze of the Death Gaze, it would not be surprising to defeat Roland's army in one fell swoop.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, until the battle began, and Zero realized that she had still miscalculated.

She hadn't expected that she had underestimated the power of snow powder weapons.

Roland's weapons

launched an attack from ten miles away. The mountain road was shrouded in thick smoke and flames, and before they even reached the defense line, the Church army was hit head-on.

After turning to attack the position, she found that the God's Punishment Army's situation was no better.

These seemingly shallow trenches were actually more difficult to deal with than towering city walls. The warriors braved the flying bullets to capture trench after trench, but they didn't expect the enemy to not care about the gains and losses of the front line at all. They retreated in an orderly manner, giving the passage to the God's Punishment Army, which had approached at a heavy price, and then continued to block the warriors' actions by relying on subsequent passages. During this period, Zero even saw an Extraordinary!

Maggie's magic ark could not be maintained forever, and the momentum of the God's Punishment Army was getting weaker and weaker, but the current situation was still far from her initial expectations.

Under Isabella's perception, the enemy's Godstone wearing rate was less than half. In order to let as many people as possible see her, they must be concentrated together. Now the God's Punishment Army had only advanced to the third trench, and the concentration of personnel in the remaining trenches was still too sparse.

And once Black Veil was exposed to the public, the time to use her ability would inevitably be extremely limited. In just one or two breaths, how many people could focus their attention on her? Probably many people had not recovered yet, and she had already been shot down by snow powder weapons.

"Your Majesty, the Ark... is about to collapse..." Maggie's face was covered with beads of sweat, and her voice trembled slightly. Obviously, using magic power beyond her capacity was a great burden to her. At the same time, cracks appeared in the walls of the space, and the vault began to dim. Zero knew that she had to make a choice.

Or rather, she had no other choice at all.

"Surface, act according to the planned!"

Maggie exhaled a long breath and began to manipulate the Ark to quickly approach the ground. At the moment of rushing out of the surface, the magic power dissipated instantly, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, the muffled continuous roar, and the bloody smell suddenly filled the surroundings.

Black Veil turned back and gave Zero a deep look, and then jumped out of the square pit formed by the Ark.

It was foreseeable that this would be the last time she would serve the Church.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed everyone's throat.

"Isabella!" Zero shouted, "Activate Infinity!"

With a few crisp chirps, a string of blood flowers bloomed behind Black Veil, and then, like a rootless fallen leaf, she fell back into the bottom of the pit.

Isabella bit her lip and held the rune in her hand.

The black and shiny magic stone suddenly emitted a dim luster, as if it had absorbed the surrounding sunlight. An invisible ripple spread from here, rapidly covering the entire battlefield under the effect of "Infinity" – its fluctuation amplitude was exactly the same as the Godstone worn by Roland, but in the opposite direction. Under the influence of this ripple, the black holes formed by the high-quality Godstones disappeared without a trace.

Almost at the same time, Zero transformed into a wisp of light and rushed towards the King of Graycastle, who was a thousand steps away.

The moment she flew out of the pit, she overlooked the entire battlefield from a high altitude—

Hundreds of mortal warriors who had collapsed in the tunnels.

The shock and panic on the enemy's faces.

The Extraordinary who was rapidly approaching.

The Judgment Army charging forward at this opportunity.

Everything seemed to stand still, until the deadly fire from the sentry tower reappeared, and the time of the entire battlefield resumed flowing. The sounds of killing, roaring, wailing, and the explosions of snow powder weapons intertwined to form a heart-stirring song.

On the increasingly close high platform, she saw the gray-haired prince, and also saw the smile of God to her.

...

Nightingale clearly witnessed this strange change. In the black and white misty world, the magic brilliance of that ghostly shadow was extremely eye-catching. It was like a hazy vortex, rushing towards the rear of the position at an extremely fast speed.

She knew that this was the Pure One's last and most deadly blow.

"Protect His Majesty!"

Saya reached out and propped up a wide magic barrier, enough to cover the entire platform.

Andrea summoned a magic longbow and shot an arrow of light as dazzling as the sun towards the ghostly light.

Nightingale grabbed Roland, who had lost the protection of the Godstone, and retreated far away – no matter what the ghostly light was, it was clearly directed at His Majesty.

But it was moving too fast.

In the blink of an eye, the ghostly light passed through the arrow of light and the magic barrier one after another, chasing after the two without being affected at all. Even the fog could not isolate its tracking.

Nightingale did not hesitate to push Roland away and crashed into the ghostly light.

Unfortunately, the last effort was still in vain. Everything happened in a flash of lightning. The ghostly light penetrated her body and drilled directly into Roland's body.

"No————————!" She shouted heartbreakingly.

Roland widened his eyes, his body swayed weakly, and then fell backward.

Ermu said

Those who think that buqiang cannot commit suicide can Baidu "revolving buqiang", and then find a gun with a short barrel to imagine.
