"Go to hell, all of you!"
Before Pattilina's voice trailed off, five to six cannons of different shapes appeared in the empty space behind her. Along with Pattilina's snarl, a series of explosions erupted and all sorts of cannons whizzed toward the paladins.
Oh my Nine Saints!
Looking at this scene, Morris was bewildered. He thought of taking this opportunity to mediate the situation.
But he didn't expect the other party to be a powder keg that would explode at the slightest provocation.
Besides, it was an AOE attack right off the bat. She wouldn't give up until she beat them to death!
For a moment, Morris was also very depressed. Even if they were evil cultists, they would at least say a few words of courtesy before the battle started. Unlike this young lady, who attacked without any warning and was unusually decisive, without any hesitation.
But in any case, he was a paladin captain. Facing the incoming cannons, he raised his shield hurriedly.
At the next moment, countless hexagonal grids spread out from his shield, shielding the paladins from the cannons.
In a deafening explosion, the paladins were instantly enveloped in flames.
A mushroom cloud rose from the ground like a cloud of dust stirred up by raindrops.
Jenn shifted his gaze away, picked up the wine glass with his left hand, and swirled it gently, before taking a sip of the fine wine.
Then, Jenn quietly extended his arm, picked up the chess piece in front of him, and pushed it forward.
On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces intertwined, forming a tragic battlefield.
At that moment, there was almost no way out for the black pieces. The only places where they could place their pieces were traps.
"…"
Tinidale curled her lips and sat opposite Jenn. She knitted her brows and gazed at the black-and-white chessboard.
The young girl bit her lips, a look of reluctance on her face.
Then, she hesitated for a few moments, reached out for another chess piece, but didn't know where to place it.
In the end, she let out a snort and placed the round chess piece back into the chess box.
"I lost."
"This is the fifteenth time. Give up, Tinidale. You have no talent in this game."
Seeing the unwilling expression on Tinidell's face, Jenn chuckled and shook his head.
Upon hearing Rhode's words, Tinidale puffed up his cheeks in anger as though he was unwilling to do so.
"Of course not. Just give me some time, and I'll definitely be able to learn this game. Give me a hundred years … No, two hundred years will be enough!"
"Alright, I'll wait."
Upon hearing Tinidell's words, Jenn shrugged and didn't say anything.
And looking at his relaxed expression, Tinidale was infuriated.
She opened her mouth and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. Then, Enoya opened the door and walked in.
"Master, Miss Pattilina had a conflict with the Church of Holy Church's envoy."
"I understand."
While putting away the chess pieces on the chessboard, Jenn nodded.
"Tell this little one to watch her boundaries. It wasn't easy to build this city, so we can't let her destroy it. As for the rest, do as you please."
"Okay."
Upon hearing Jenn's answer, Enoya nodded.
Looking at Jenn, who was about to start the next round, Tinidale stood up in a fluster.
"I'll go take a look. Maybe I can be of help."
After saying this, Tinidale rushed out of the room without looking back.
Looking at her departing figure, Jenn chuckled and turned to Enoya.
"Want to play another round?"
"Please pardon my refusal, Master. Is it fun to bully noobs?"
"Frankly speaking, there's nothing more enjoyable than bullying the weak."
Enoya bowed and followed Tinidale out of the room without looking back.
Jenn was left alone facing the 16-grid chessboard. Gazing at the empty room, Jenn reached for the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of red wine. Then, he let out a sigh.
"I'll teach them how to play Gomoku next time."
Boom!!
Spear and sword collided.
The silver-whitish spear in Pattilina's hand swept forward and collided with Steve's sword.
Both of them took a step back at the same time. But at the next moment, Pattilina yelled and rushed forward again.
The spear in her hand slashed down from above. Witnessing this attack, Steve's expression changed slightly and he dodged to the side hurriedly.
The spear brushed past his shoulder and landed heavily on the ground.
With a loud "boom", the huge shockwave caused the ground to tremble involuntarily.
But at that moment, Steve didn't stop in his tracks. On the contrary, the sword in his hand flashed. At the next moment, a blazing radiance emanated from it, blasting at Pattilina's right shoulder while she was still moving forward.
If it were anyone else, they would have dodged this attack that was filled with elemental powers.
However, Pattilina swept a glance of disdain at Steve's attack. Then, the magic cannon behind her adjusted its muzzle and blasted an orange-red radiance from the thick, pitch-black muzzle at Steve.
Facing this sudden attack, even a judge knight had no choice but to give up. Steve raised his sword and held it in front of him.
At the next moment, the orange-red light beam struck his sword and repelled it.
Before the smoke dispersed, Patrina's figure rushed out again, the spear in her hand pointed straight at Steve's chest.
"Heretic, heretic, heretic!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Archbishop Edward's face turned ashen. He waved his scepter and bellowed at the Paladins beside him.
"Hurry up and rush forward to destroy these heretics and evildoers!"
Although Archbishop Edward was shouting at the top of his lungs, Morris wouldn't listen to his orders. While commanding the Paladins to retreat, he yelled, "Everyone, listen to my orders.
"Everyone, listen to my command. Stand your ground and protect Bishop Edward!"
Upon hearing Morris's orders, the other Paladins hurriedly pulled Archbishop Edward away.
They were not fools, and they were not Edward's henchmen. They would do whatever he said.
In fact, many of the Paladins were very depressed at this moment. They didn't come here to start a war.
And now, because of the archbishop's words, they had to start a war with the other party for no reason.
What exactly is going on?
Archbishop Edward said that it was for the sake of eliminating evil, but what kind of evil was he trying to eliminate!?
They came to someone else's territory and fought with the overlord's men for no apparent reason. Not only that, but the Archbishop also wanted to kill the overlord's men in a frenzy.
Even the Paladins were rather dissatisfied with this — this archbishop was a little too crazy.
"Morris, don't you understand me?
Attack immediately and destroy these evildoers!! "
Seeing that Morris was indifferent to his orders, Archbishop Edward scolded angrily.
In the face of his roar, Morris shrugged, and quickly answered.
"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency.
The order I received from the council is to protect your life at all costs. Now that this place is surrounded, we can't leave you to fight in the front.
It's impossible for us to leave you to fight on the frontlines. Otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee your safety. "
"In order to eliminate evil, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life!!"
Archbishop Edward's words were righteous, but Morris almost fainted after hearing it. If you want to die, go ahead. We don't want to be buried with you.
Not to mention that Morris's elements were not good at offensive battles, Morris had also noticed that there were already dozens of young girls wearing strange knight armor and holding magic staffs surrounding them from all directions.
He could imagine that if they acted rashly, what awaited them would be a thunderous attack.
Besides, Morris was right. As the chief judge of the heretics, Archbishop Edward only had the strength of a high-level.
Of course, if it were somewhere else, he would be able to barely protect himself, but Morris was very clear that the female knights surrounding them all had the same abilities as Archbishop Edward. Besides, there was also a Legendary powerhouse eyeing them covetously.
Although Pattilina and Steve were fighting fiercely, a closer look would reveal that the cannons in the void behind her were almost aimed in the direction of Archbishop Edward.
Morris was certain that once he acted rashly, the other party would mercilessly open fire and kill him.
Although Morris wished he could kill the stubborn old man 10,000 times, he was, after all, a fellow member of the Holy Church. Hence, he couldn't let him die there.
Hence, he pretended not to hear Archbishop Edward's words, and continued to set up his defenses.
The Paladins clearly understood what their leader meant. Hence, they carried out Morris' orders meticulously, and surrounded Archbishop Edward like an impregnable fortress. However, no matter how much Archbishop Edward cursed, they refused to take a step forward.
At this moment, the battle between Pattilina and Steve had also entered a white-hot state. Both sides were fighting with all their might, and they gave up on defense and focused all their efforts on attacking.
Steve took a shot from Pattilina, and then slashed his sword into Pattilina's shoulder.
In an instant, there was an explosion of flames.
However, in the next moment, Pattilina also let out a muffled groan, and thrust the spear in her hand forward, stabbing it hard into Steve's lower abdomen. Next, she let out a beast-like roar, and the ejector at the back of the silver spear suddenly erupted with blue flames, sending Steve flying forward. White smoke whizzed past, and in the next moment, Steve tore a huge crack in the ground that was hundreds of meters long. He then rolled and fell to the ground.
"Pfft!!"
Patting away the flames on her shoulder, Patrina did not even look at her shoulder that had been burnt to a crisp, revealing piles of white bones. Instead, she stared at Steve, who was lying on the ground, like a bloodthirsty beast.
"Aren't you f * cking very powerful?
B * tch?
Get up again if you have the guts?
Damn it, I can even defeat the elites of the Star Alliance with a single shot. How dare a fool like you show off in front of me?
Aren't you very powerful?
Come at me again!! "
Pattilina yelled, striding toward Steve.
At this moment, Steve staggered to his feet after hearing Patrina's scolding. He glared at the young lady before him with a gloomy expression and gripped his sword with both hands. In the next moment, scorching red flames suddenly soared and enveloped Steve's entire body. The next moment, a pillar of flames soared into the sky and pierced straight into the horizon.
"Damn it!
How dare you not die! "
Seeing that Steve still dared to stand up, Patrina's eyes also turned red. She screamed, and the next moment, the little fellow raised her left hand. Along with her movement, the clouds began to tremble, and then between the blue sky and white clouds, a huge, pitch-black, hundreds of meters long, pitch-black cannon emerged from the gap in the clouds.
The blue and white radiance on it flickered continuously as it aimed at the holy knight.
"Sh * t!"
Looking at this scene, Morris's expression turned ashen. He didn't expect the battle to end in this way. This is a fight to the death!
The momentum of both sides had reached its peak. The next attack would be an all-out attack.
No one present could intervene. They could only watch helplessly and wait for the inevitable destruction to arrive.
At that moment, a shadow suddenly emerged.
