Chapter 26 Beginning

The demons are coming.

Ainbro's heavy steel casting gate was tightly closed, and the archers on the wall were waiting. A group of dark red-skinned demons first appeared in their vision. They have sharp spines on their backs and run like cheetahs.

"It's a spiny demon." Li Ou said, "This is an appetizer."

"Aperitif?" The city owner covered her mouth and nose and couldn't hide her surprise. The smell in the air can almost make people faint. Leo admires that she can still persist here. Why don't they attack?"

"They are waiting for orders." Leo explained, "Demons are chaotic and evil. They usually chat and only obey more powerful demons than them. Unfortunately, Clegg rules all demons. Here it comes.

A small hill-high demon supervisor appeared in the array of spiny demons. It has a strong body, and the blood-stained chain is wrapped around the fat body. It grabs one end of the chain in one hand, and the other hand grabs a spine demon, laughing and pinching it into two pieces, allowing the devil's blood to drench all over.

"It...how..."

"The devil is such a creature." Leo said, "Killing is one of their few pleasures. Not only for the enemy, but also for their own kind. Therefore, in the face of them, there is no other choice but to resist to the end.

The demon's array suddenly roared, and the army moved like a tide.

Without Li Ou's half bucket of water to give orders, the commander has ordered the soldiers to be ready.

"Wait first, then wait." The archers are full of bowstrings, and the mages' spells have been summoned. The demons rushed closer, and they flew fast, with their teeth and claws. The soldiers sweated coldly and trembled all over. Then the commander waved his sword. Let it go!"

The rain of arrows and spells fell down overwhelmingly, like a series of rainbow lights, with deadly dangers in the beauty. Countless demons turned into meat and mud under this gorgeous scene. The stench permeates the air. The city owner covered his mouth and didn't let himself vomit. This is the first time she has seen such a cruel war scene.

"You'd better go back. It's too dangerous here." Li Ou advised.

She waved her hand vigorously, "No, I can still hold on. I want to see what these guys are trying to defeat and kill us."

"That's it." Li Ou said as easily as possible, "Ugly, like a monster."

"But it's cruel."

"Yes, but cruel."

"Sir Leo," the city owner raised his beautiful eyes and looked at him. "Do you still need to comfort me and hide it from me now? We all know everything, so stop telling me nice things. These are just the cannon fodder at the beginning, right?

Under the ravages of flames and frost, lightning and toxins, demons fell one after another. It looks extremely easy, but they are just the weakest kind. The demon supervisor among the spines is almost unharmed even after a round of magic baptism. It waved its chains, smashed all the demons in front of it, and rushed to the steel gate. But a layer of frost immediately froze its feet, making it difficult to move.

Luo Xi raised her long hair and threw a proud smile to Leo.

Li Ou smiled and said to the city owner, "Yes, as you can see, they are just pioneers of exploring the way. The real test is yet to come."

"What do you say?"

Under the wall, the demon supervisor waved chains crazily to attack the gate, but the gate from the alchemist could not be broken by brute force. It was about to jump, but spells and arrow rain extinguished all its enthusiasm. Rosie did not take action and handed over the thunderous demon supervisor to the mage and had the right to practice. There will be no such good opportunity in the future.

"Now these guys can be said to have no wisdom and only act on a brute force and instinct." Leo explained, "But it will be impossible after that. The cunning of high-level demons is no less than that of human beings, let alone demon lords. They have even deceived the gods and angels, let alone us. At that time, in addition to sticking to death, you should be more careful of their temptations. Lord, no matter how strong the fortress is, it first collapses from the inside. You will be busy in the future.

The city owner shuddered, and her face was a little pale. So as you can see, when will those terrible... enemies come? How much time do we have?"

"There is not much time." Li Ou looked at the trembling soldiers and said, "According to the record, half a year is the limit. Then, the black tide composed of demons will break out in full swing, but at that time, these soldiers and mages should at least have a stop.

"But our chances of winning are still small."

"There is never a chance of winning." Leo corrected her, "Where does the food in the whole city come from? We can keep it for two years, three years, but ten years? Clegg will not lose this. In the desperate fort, the old dragon once told me that in his era, the war was absolutely beyond your imagination.

"hundreds of years?"

Li Ou sighed helplessly, "Thousands of years."

The city owner was surprised. It's been so long."

"That's looking at the passage of time in our way." Li Ou looked at the dark sky, and the heavy black clouds covered the sun without a glimmer of hope. For the eternal demon god, it is still just a short nap and blinking. So, don't expect the enemy to be kind."

"So that fantasy plan is the only feasible way."

"That's what I think." Leo said helplessly, "Human life is too short and the body is too fragile. We can't compete with time. Only wisdom scares gods and demons, but time is a shackle that limits wisdom. Wisdom loses its strength, and we can only let go.

"Sir Leo, I agreed to your suggestion and almost handed over the city to you." Miss Chengzhu suddenly said, "I naturally know how to decentralization and choose to trust you instead of pointing fingers. But I hope that when you make a decision about everyone's life and death, you can at least explain it to me, just like the decision you made this time. Almost gave up all resistance to build a huge array that is costly and doesn't know whether it can succeed. What if it fails? You almost made a desperate bet and bet all the cards.

Leo knows what she is worried about. Because too many people can never make a decision without seeing the facts said by others until the last moment. But often it's too late and it's too late. If this time, they don't prepare as soon as possible, they can only sit back and wait for death when they are besieged by demons.

"Because we have no way out." Li Ou said, "Anyway, it's all death, and it's better to die vigorously. Lord, do you still think they will put down the butcher knives because of our cooperation? They are endless. This is the only way we can go.

"I know." The city owner sighed, "But are you sure that the Andal Church will listen to you? Isn't Black Morning colluding with them? Although you have a good reason, it is still not easy to convince them to change their minds.

"Try it." Li Ou said, "If it is impossible, we alchemists will create another god. It's just like this... the success rate is even slimmer."

"I hope everything goes well."

"I hope so." He sighed.

......

In Andal's Basilica in Ainblo, Leo stood next to the statue in the hall and looked up at the statue of Andal. It was a beautiful and holy face, and the gauze could not hide her graceful body at all. There is no doubt that excluding the majesty and ruthlessness of divinity, every male will have a tyrannical impulse to such a woman and try to make her fall. Let alone the devil who is happy to do this. They will definitely take good care of her.

"What are you looking at?" A familiar voice came from behind him.

"Of course, I was looking at your goddess, and then thought about how she was humiliated by the devil." Li Ou turned around, and several priests appeared in front of him. The priests who had once seen him in the ruins of the rainforest were prominently listed. In their crowd, an old man with a crown showed his prestige. Oh, I didn't expect the Pope to come in person."

"Alchemist." The old man said calmly.

He has the majesty that makes people feel that he has been in power for a long time at a glance. But it depends on when. If it is before the end of the future, Li Ou will be afraid of him, but now there is nothing to be afraid of the world. In front of the demon god, everyone is equal, and even the gods have not escaped his destruction, not to mention an old man.

"Your Pope, I didn't expect you to come in person."

"This is about the goddess Andal. I have to come." The Pope said. He didn't greet much and quickly entered the topic. I saw your plan, which is very tempting..."

"...No, to be precise, it's sacred." Leo corrected him, "It's much purer than your method. On the gods, the goddess is not a plaything of demons, is she?"

The Pope's face is not very good. Although he does everything he can to win, there is no doubt that the end will not completely destroy the world. There will always be some guys who will live lucky and live. If they win, they will naturally write history, but what if they fail? What's more, the hope of victory is like a bone in an egg. That would be a big joke. After that, everyone will laugh at their stupid behavior and dedicate the goddess they worship to the demon god who destroyed them. They can't bear such a stain. There was nothing they could do before, but now there is an alternative way in front of them, and there is no reason not to be moved.

"Yes, I admit that we are willing to accept your help, and we can't refuse." The Pope simply said directly, "The world does not allow us to bargain, does it? So, I just want to know how feasible is the success of the plan?

"It's much more certain than your plan." Li Ou told him, "As long as you can make the goddess Su Sheng, I am sure to bring faith to the goddess. I think you know better than me.

"All I know is that the power of faith will not be at our mercy. Su Sheng's goddess can't have wisdom.

"Your Excellency, have you forgotten my profession?" Li Ou said with confidence, "Alchemy can do anything. Since you can kill the gods, you can also create another god.
