My team members turned out to be heroic spirits

He didn't want to meet the rich young lady in battle.

So far, the other party has not sent a reply.

Perhaps they chose to side with the old government forces, or perhaps they didn't receive his message at all.

After a little repair, the team began to move forward.

This position of the French Intervention Army quickly fell under the offensive of the Liberation Army. The artillery brought magic artillery and ordinary artillery from the rear, and then began to set up artillery positions to provide fire support for the Liberation Army's subsequent attacks.

"The siege has begun."

In a church, a man dressed as a priest said this.

He has white hair, a kind face, and the appearance of a charitable person.

Wearing a white priest's robe, he held a book in his hand.

"Bishop, can we take the opportunity to start the blood sacrifice?"

In front of the priest were several figures in black robes.

"It's not a good time yet."

The priest, known as the bishop, shook his head.

"The war has just started and people are not panicked enough."

He said so.

"But you can start sending people to spread the news and start a wave of panic among people."

"The more chaotic it is, the easier it is for us to develop believers and obtain raw materials for blood sacrifices."

He should be a kind-hearted priest, but the words coming out of his mouth are extremely cruel.

"Have the people in the government taken care of it?"

The bishop looked at someone.

"It has been planned. This church will be set up as a refuge point by the government. Those blood sacrifice materials should come here to avoid the war."

A hoarse voice sounded.

"One place is not enough."

The bishop spoke calmly.

"To turn this place into a kingdom of God, a blood sacrifice site is not enough. Let's do some more planning and ask the government to set up the hospital we open as a shelter or a hospital for wounded soldiers."

"The magic power provided by blood sacrifice to ordinary people is too little, and a large amount is needed. However, if those soldiers with magic power are sacrificed, the progress of the ceremony will be rapidly improved."

"If we succeed, our status within the sect will rise rapidly, and we will receive more advanced gifts by then."

"I see, Bishop."

The person being ordered sounded a little fanatical.

He raised his head, and two scarlet lights appeared under his hood.

There is a hint of cruelty and fanaticism in it.

"Then you go prepare the potion and put it into the wells all over the city. There will be a lot of noise when the ceremony starts, and you have to attract the attention of those people."

The priest looked at the other person.

In China, the gods they believe in are labeled as evil gods, and they will be surrounded and suppressed not only by the old government troops, but also by those Western intervention forces.

Fortunately, no abnormalities have been found in the stronghold that the priest has worked so hard to manage.

His disguised identity is that of a Western Catholic missionary.

I have to say that being a Catholic is very useful.

Although he scorns the God that Catholics believe in, the priest is not a pedantic person. As long as he can achieve his goal, there is no problem in wearing the skin of a Catholic priest.

When he preached doctrine, he often added some personal details.

The sacred scriptures issued also contain dark and blasphemous words, turning ignorant believers into believers in the abyss.

"Father, what do you need from me?"

At this moment, the other two people accepted the order and left.

Only one hooded man remained.

"If you say... go lobby the local aristocratic families in the Demon City for me and see if you can convert a few."

The priest said this after thinking for a while.

Those ordinary people are easy to deal with. After all, they are ignorant people. They can easily obtain a large number of sacrifices by just fooling them.

However, due to the miserable life of being oppressed, most of the ordinary people are not in good health. Even if they are used as sacrifices, they still need to rely on quantity.

Therefore, he targeted those aristocratic families.

If more aristocratic families can be deceived into corruption, then the Demon City will become a land of gods just around the corner.

In the Magic City, aristocratic families are an indispensable part.

Even the old government relied on these people.

"Then if it doesn't work, should we get rid of them?"

asked the priest's men.

"If they don't succeed, they will be marked. When the ceremony begins, our people will be sent to kill them all. The corpses will be used directly as fuel for the ceremony."

The man in white robe spoke indifferently.

"The list is here, remember to look for it one by one."

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

There are some words written on it.

It can be seen that the first target family is the "Liu Family", one of several large families in the Magic City.

"Understood, Your Excellency Bishop."

The man in black robe took the paper.

"May the gods come to this place soon and purify the unclean things."

Chapter 39 Lonely Hero

a few days later.

"Second Pillar, bring me some people and nail them here!"

Jiang Li ordered.

At this moment, the Liberation Army had already broken through part of the external defense lines of the old government forces and penetrated into the Magic City.

Then we encountered a problem.

There are civilians on the battlefield.

The troops of the old government army had no intention of showing any mercy, and the artillery fire covered the soldiers of the Liberation Army and the civilians of the Magic City.

Jiang Li is now leading his team to evacuate civilians.

"Understood, Captain!"

The farmer-turned-soldier hugged a crying child tightly.

The other party's father was directly killed by artillery fire, and his mother was crushed to death by the collapsed house.

The shell landed not far behind him, splashing a large amount of gravel.

The sharp stone hit the soldier's back, leaving some marks on it.

But the child in his arms was always safe and sound.

"Xiao Hei, go quickly and inform the rear to be ready to take in the refugees!"

The dark-skinned man raised his head.

He picked up the crying child and ran quickly to a safe bunker.

"Brother Erzhuzi, I think there is a church nearby that can take in refugees. Why don't we take the refugees there first!"

Sticking his head out, the communications soldier pulled the big bolt and fired a bullet.

Then he quickly retracted.

"can!"

Erzhuzhu responded loudly.

On the other side, Jiang Li felt strong magic fluctuations coming from the enemy position.

His face changed.

Although I don’t know what those old government troops are doing, it’s obviously not a good thing.

Because they were afraid of harming civilians, the troops of the Liberation Army who invaded the city received almost no artillery support, and were therefore beaten very embarrassingly by the ruthless old government troops.

"No, you have to stop them."

The apostle captain thought so.

"Shiv, can you go around from the side and see what those guys are doing?"

Summoning his own apostle weapons, Jiang Li whispered.

The snow-white little wolf nodded.

Although he didn't know why his master appeared on such a raging battlefield, Shiv had no intention of exploring.

It's just a wolf after all.

The snow-white shadow quickly circled around the ruins of the building.

Jumping to a certain roof, Shiv's vertical pupils reflected the scene of the enemy's position——

A dozen people in robes were preparing spells.

This scene was also seen by Jiang Li.

He could share sight with Sif.

"Damn, it's a small war spell!"

The apostle's eyes widened.

Those scum of the old government army obviously didn't mind the presence of civilians in the bombing range.

If he were released, not only would his team be severely damaged, but the civilians who had not yet evacuated would also surely be killed.

But now he is the only team on this battlefield, and the nearest team is still hundreds of meters away.

It was too late to call for reinforcements.

Jiang Li's men were covering the evacuation of civilians while defending against attacks by the old government troops, unable to launch a counterattack.

"..."

Leaning against the wall, he thought about what to do.

Jiang Li's expression was a little uncertain.

There is only one feasible way now, and that is for him to launch an attack alone.

There is not a single Servant among the enemies on the opposite side, and the highest one is just an Apostle.

However, this still involves great risks.

Perhaps in order to completely defeat the Liberation Army, almost all of the old government troops in the Magic City were elite and loyal to the old government, reversing the previous decline.

Not only are they well-trained, but their weapons and equipment are much better than those of the Liberation Army.

The firepower of the enemy's magical weapons is enough to penetrate his physical defenses and cause damage to him.
