Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 441: The gun went off
Afterwards, Duan Mingyuan and Jiu Yue learned that it was the battlecruisers of the 4th, 6th and 7th Regiments of the Iron Guard Consortium that presented a fireworks show to the residents of the Holy City on this quiet night. Visitors also included ships from the Adventurer's Association and the United Front.

Currently, the commanders of these regiments, including Billy Norton, have been placed on administrative leave.

When the group left the mansion and walked onto the street, the wreckage of the battlecruiser could be seen everywhere.

Although all medical personnel were dispatched at the first moment, there were too many wounded, and they had to search for survivors in the wreckage of the battlecruiser which was still burning.

This was the result of the ship suffering a secondary blow when it fell, and the barrier of the Church of Embers indiscriminately attacked these "UFOs".

Judging from the situation at the scene, the probability of the soldiers surviving is not optimistic.

Duan Mingyuan looked at the soldiers who were carried away on stretchers. Losing arms and legs could only be considered as minor injuries here. Coupled with the scorching weather in the Holy City and the already poor medical resources, even if they did not die on the spot, they would soon lose their lives due to infection, excessive blood loss and other symptoms.

"The briefing said that it was the Allied Fleet that first launched an attack on the Iron Guard Consortium after nightfall, and the Adventurer's Guild immediately joined the war."

Baptism shared the information she had just received with the two.

However, she was not familiar with events such as space wars, and after the Pope issued a notice to the inquisitors, he did not issue any further instructions.

Theoretically, the purpose of Universal Company and Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce going to the Holy City at the same time was to negotiate, at least on the surface.

But judging from the fact that both sides have mobilized most of their military forces here, there are only two possible outcomes of this peace talk.

Either we shake hands and make peace, or we raze the entire galaxy to the ground.

However, no senior members of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce attended the choir performance held in the Holy City last night. They declined the church's invitation with various reasons and stayed on their own flagships.

"It seems that the Pope is not the user of the Face Fruit."

September muttered quietly.

The Pope summoned the top leaders of both sides to the Holy City at this sensitive time in order to mediate the conflict, hoping that both sides would give him face on this issue, even if it could only bring temporary peace.

Unfortunately, it is not difficult to see from the tragic scenes that can be seen everywhere that the Pope's plan has failed.

Perhaps it was because Jean Saintfield died in the Holy City that the Semites had lost their trust in the Church of the Embers.

"I have to get back to my main ship. Will you come with me?"

Baptism did not want to stay on the ground and leave everything to fate. Who knew whether the two sides, who were in a murderous frenzy, would bombard the entire holy city? The other inquisitors were also ready to face the war.

This was her first time to experience war, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

If there were familiar friends on her boat, it would make her feel a little more at ease.

"We'll have to stay here for a while."

Duan Mingyuan shook his head.

He felt that the accidental conflict between the Iron Guard Consortium and the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce was just the beginning. Once the two sides fired the first shot, the feud could no longer be reconciled, and the black hand behind all this did not want them to stop.

Using weapons made by humans to consume their manpower is the simplest and most effective means. This is also the purpose of the Void Demons placing parasites among the upper echelons of humanity.

Duan Mingyuan still remembered that in the scientific magazines he read in high school, it was said that the weapons currently created by human beings are enough to destroy them more than a dozen times, and more than one expert has predicted that human civilization will be destroyed in the next full-scale galactic war.

Before he finished speaking, another ball of fire lit up the night sky.

This was already the seventeenth fireworks show tonight. The falling ship had the logo of the Adventurers' Guild painted on it. When it was about to crash into the Cathedral of the Holy City, the burning ship seemed to pass through an invisible barrier and disintegrated under the gaze of the two.

In the end, all that remained on the Cathedral were a few pieces of charred scrap iron.

Jiu Yue thought that the fireworks display was unique and the most magnificent one she had ever seen, except that it was a bit life-wasting.

"Then I'm leaving." Jin Li reluctantly looked back every few steps, leaving the two of them with a lonely back in the night.

She really hoped that Darth Vader could board her ship during a critical period of the war and give her systematic guidance.

"You go with her, and inform Tang Qianqian and the others."

Duan Mingyuan was a little worried and said to Jiuyue.

"Do you want to go to war with them?"

These words made September a little nervous. She was better at small-scale ground encounters and was not good at interstellar wars at all.

She always felt that there was no room for maneuver in a battle involving hot weapons. Once hit, they would be forced to perform fireworks shows for the people of the Holy City like the battleships before them.

Moreover, compared with these fully armed regular troops, the flagships they snatched from the space pirates seemed to be stretched to the limit, and their firepower was completely not on the same level as the enemy.

"If they target you, retreat immediately."

Duan Mingyuan arranged the main tactics for Jiuyue, "Take Jinli along so that you can take care of each other when the time comes."

The Void Demon's main strategic target is the Holy City, so they will not put all their efforts into chasing a few retreating ships.

Fortunately, Heya was still on the ship. The worst result was that the two spaceships evacuated to the galaxy where the Flashing Star was located.

"how about you?"

September asked.

"I still have some things to deal with."

Duan Mingyuan's eyes swept across the Ash Cultists who were following the medical team not far behind without making a sound. The scorching sun energy in these people's bodies had been completely devoured, and replaced by some kind of chaotic power that Duan Mingyuan had never seen before.

Although this grand fireworks show was not part of the Dark Witch's plan, she would never miss this opportunity.

It seemed that her plans were also forced to be brought forward.

"Ah."

September also noticed the abnormal behavior of the believers and nodded.

She didn't want to set a flag before the battle, so she chased after Baptism before it completely disappeared into the night.

Duan Mingyuan calmed down and followed the sneaky believers.

He originally thought that these people were planning to take the opportunity to attack the makeshift medical outpost, but after following them for a distance, the believers took the initiative to change direction and walked towards the deserted streets.

The fireworks show attracted a large number of residents of the Holy City. In the face of a severe shortage of medical teams, many local residents joined the ranks of volunteers.

"it's time."

After an unknown amount of time, the believers trapped in darkness lit green torches.

Under their feet was a hexagram magic circle that had been set up in advance.

In the teachings of the Church of Embers, this is the mark of the devil.

The leading believer bent down and lit the ritual props on the magic circle with a green torch.

A strange green light flashed in the eye sockets of a skeleton.
