Chapter 190
When their teams gathered outside the city, the real tough battle began.
But at the same time, the Holy Cult is not the only force advancing here. Reinforcements from the Black Demon School and other forces in the Land of Chaos are also arriving at this moment. It is believed that it will not be long before a full-scale war breaks out outside the city.
However, to be honest, this battle has little to do with Lu Lin and the others.
If they were simply to prevent the Holy Cult's conspiracy, they had already done enough. Next, whether they stayed here until the war was over or used some special teleportation to leave here, they were actually feasible.
For example, Silly prepared an insurance method to return directly to the night elves.
As for whether they can beat it, that's not something that a few of them should consider.
But obviously, Lu Lin didn't think so.
From the beginning, he actively chose to stay in the center of the storm.
And now, let alone Gafu who was curious about what he wanted to do, the people who stayed here were also extremely curious about his actions at this moment.
Just as everyone was talking about their speculations, Lu Lin suddenly brought Li Mi up to the roof of the martial arts training ground.
"Hey, are you having dinner?" Lu Lin came over very naturally, sat down with everyone, took two sandwiches, and handed one to Li Mi.
"Are you done with your work?" Silly asked immediately, "Or are you simply hungry and want to eat something?"
"I'm done," Lu Lin said. "The arrangement is actually not as troublesome as I thought."
"So can you tell us now what you are going to do?" Jack Zhengyi asked.
"Well..." Lu Lin touched his chin, "If I say that I actually don't know, would you believe me?"
Chapter 310: Looking forward to it, right? That’s quite exciting.
St. Tors Empire, Northeastern Territory, Seventh Holy City, St. Melin Cathedral.
Archbishop Dorudu looked at the newly arrived battle reports in front of him. He, who always smiled, rarely turned his face as hard as iron.
The heavily armored Serber knight stood aside with a gloomy look on his face.
"What the hell, what the hell," Archbishop Dorudu closed his eyes, lay back on his recliner, and rubbed his brows.
It seemed that his blood pressure at this moment was somewhat outside the ideal range.
"The Infinite Church, the Infinite Church, haha, Claire Florencio has been operating there for hundreds of years. Eighty percent of the people in the entire Infinite Church were deceived by his plan, and they are still in chaos now. They are messing around on the border, and of the 20% remaining people, at least half of them are still our people..."
As Archbishop Dorudu spoke, he squeezed the handle of the chair and made it creak.
"Ninety percent..."
"Our undercover helped us get 90% of their members! Do you know what the fuck this is?"
"The Infinite Church is almost dead! It's almost empty! If this continues, the next Gafu may be one of ours!"
"Then! With such a huge advantage, they couldn't even seize control of the core city of the Infinite Church? In the end, they allowed the other party to take back control of the entire city? Who the hell can tell me what the hell the vanguard army's trash is doing? food?!"
Listening to Duo Ludu's foul language one after another, Seborli also looked helpless.
What you are saying is that he is not a vanguard, so what's the use of arguing with him.
"My Lord Archbishop, I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be in a hurry," Serboli said. "This matter is not simply a bad start. Looking at the overall situation, the problem is actually very big. Based on the historical situation of the Boundless Church, They rarely ask for help from other forces, and have very poor relations with other forces, but this time, their reinforcements came too quickly..."
"I know, can't I see it? Damn it," Duo Ludu looked at the information in his hand and let out a sigh of relief, "The information must have been leaked."
"After all, it is a grandmaster-level super-large teleportation array. The scale of the construction operation within the territory this time is too large. In fact, rumors have spread everywhere," Sebery was a little helpless, "But the problem is, other people are using it to confuse the public. We have also spread a lot of rumors. According to the past situation, they should not take the rumors too seriously. "
"From the intelligence point of view, the biggest problem is the Black Demon School..." Dorudu frowned, "Hell, how can I remember that the previous things were related to the Black Demon School? When the incident happened in the Netherworld branch, was there also the Black Demon School? People from the Demonic School are involved?”
"Ah, and there is another character involved at the same time," Serboli said. "I should have mentioned to you before that this series of things are related to the Arc Sword Lady, and there are even sighting records of her this time. , it was probably her who killed Claire Florencio, and according to the information brought back by witnesses, she showed a peak posture in this battle that she had not been able to show in the battle after losing control. You should know that in this state She can easily penetrate into the depths of Loves Hades Valley, and it is very likely that she has ever reached the deepest point there..."
"In other words, has she recovered to a state where she can exert her full strength..." Dorudu rubbed his eyebrows, "By the way, if I remember correctly, is her holy skeleton..."
"Well, it was used by Melens," said Thrabley.
"What the hell," Duo Ludu's face became even worse, "It seems that we have to check the activities of the Black Demon School in our territory. This guy was probably picked up by them. Ha, dare and brave man If there is contact, is it the royal family that is behind this? Damn it, can’t the people over at Oga City think of a solution?”
"Given the current influence of Oga City, you'd better stop thinking about it and think of something useful." Seborli sighed, "This time the resource consumption is too great. We don't have the budget to do it a second time. Anyway, Everything has to be successful. I actually think that for the sake of safety, we may temporarily stop attacking some dungeons and mobilize some high-level warriors to participate in this matter."
"Absolutely not," Dorudu directly vetoed Seberli's proposal without even thinking, "Our branch's budget is already very tight, and we urgently need to conquer new dungeons to replenish resources. Moreover, you should understand that the current The place of chaos is no longer what it was before. With those guys there, it is too risky for the brave to enter it rashly. If we attract them, it will only become more troublesome. "
"But... if our intelligence is really leaked," Thurber said with a bitter look on his face, "This matter is related to the entire chaotic land, and there will be unprecedented resistance in the follow-up. I am afraid that this matter will not be successfully implemented. …”
"Don't worry about this. The Land of Chaos has never been monolithic. You should be able to see this from the history of their defeat by us. And based on my understanding of them, those idiots have not had much substance over the years. With their progress, we have plenty of ways to deal with them in roundabout ways," Duoludu said confidently, "The superiors have begun to put pressure on all parties and borrow the power of other branches to contain the various forces in the chaotic land. As long as we can If we capture and complete the garrison in this area, we will definitely win in the end.”
"But the current situation seems like it won't be easy to capture this area..." Seborli's expression was subtle.
"On the surface, maybe, it's quite unreasonable to let them gain control of the main city," Dorudu said, "But don't forget, we still have a trump card..."
"You mean..." Sebolli frowned slightly.
"Yes, they are just those skeletons," Dorudu grinned, "Maybe you don't trust the guys from the Necromancy School, but believe me, they will definitely give us a huge surprise this time. "

The Infinite Church, deep underground.
The expressionless woman slowly held up the black orb in her hand.
In front of her, there was a huge statue.
It was a dancing statue of a one-eyed giant spider. The spider was completely black, and its eight spider legs looked like arms made of countless bones, ferocious and twisted.
And the weirdest thing is its round belly.
The abdomen was covered with ferocious human faces, as if countless souls experiencing endless suffering were imprisoned within it.
This is the totem of the slave soul, the puppet master dancing in the Dead Sea.
It is also the core totem of this huge formation.
And as the woman put the orb in her hand into the eye socket of the statue, in an instant, a blue-gray mist emerged out of thin air around the statue, filling the entire underground tunnel in an instant.
And the statue seemed to come to life. Although it was not moving, it gave people the illusion that it was really dancing.
A rare smile appeared on the woman's lips.
"It's finally done..." she murmured, "It's really exciting."
After saying that, her body once again transformed into countless tiny black snakes, crawling up the surrounding walls. After a while, all those little snakes got into the soil above and left here.
And shortly after she left, a small white head came out of the mud wall nearby.
It looked left and right, and finally its eyes fell on the huge statue.
After looking up and down at the statue in front of him, the little white guy raised a smirk on his lips.
"Hey, finally let me wait for you..."
As it spoke, it walked slowly and leisurely to the statue. After looking up and down at the statue in front of it, it opened its little mouth.
Then suddenly, countless dark arms suddenly emerged from its mouth and grabbed the statue.
At first, these arms just grabbed the various joints of the statue. Later, as the number of arms increased, they actually formed a huge black cocoon that completely wrapped the statue.
Then, the volume of the black cocoon began to shrink rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was swallowed by the little white guy.
"Hiccup, it tastes really bad," the little guy burped and smacked his lips.
Then, he strutted to the center of where the statue once stood.
After turning around and facing directly in front of the statue, the little white guy closed his eyes.
The next moment, its figure began to become illusory, and not long after, it turned into a new statue.
Every detail of the statue was exactly the same as the previous one.
But, inexplicably, when people look at this statue without even a human mouth, they have an illusion.
It always felt like it was sneering with a mocking look on its face.
Chapter 311: If we can’t pull it off with our wrists, then we’ll just overturn the table
The calm before the storm lasted for several days.
It seems that because they have lost the opportunity to occupy the main city of the Infinite Church, the Holy Church is not in a hurry to attack, but is building positions nearby, which seems to mean that they want to fight a protracted war with the Infinite Church.
On the other side, the reinforcements from the Black Magic School are in place and are also setting up positions at this moment.
There are many conflicts between the two sides in order to seize favorable terrain, but the war always exists outside the city, not inside the city.
The Holy Church does not take any action, but the Infinite Church will not just wait like this. They have done a lot of things these days by taking advantage of the terrain.
They have occupied the city and are also in a position to use some large-scale city defense weapons. These days, they will cooperate with the reinforcements outside the city to launch long-range attacks on the Holy Church from time to time.
Although the Holy Church also has defensive means, it has lost a lot of manpower in the unilateral attack these days.
But even so, they still did not take any action, and did not even consider conducting basic firepower strikes to put pressure on the main city defense.
This is a bit strange.
Given the Holy Church's past style of not wanting to suffer any loss, they would not be so obedient as they are now.
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that they must be waiting for something.
And the most bizarre thing is that it is hard not to think of the previous arrangement of the Necromancer School in the entire underground of the Blue Leaf Forest.
In fact, the Infinite Church wanted to investigate this matter before, but their hometown was a mess and they could not allocate manpower.
Now that the family affairs have been resolved, they have been locked up in the main city area and cannot get out, let alone investigate what is in the outer underground area.
There is no way, they can only pick out powerful individuals with underground action capabilities, try to break into the underground directly from the main city, and then conduct an investigation.
But the Holy Church seems to have been prepared for this, and has not let the Infinite Church get anything good in the underground investigation.
The Infinite Church has no choice but to pass the relevant information to the reinforcements and let the reinforcements think of a solution.
Unfortunately, the actions of the reinforcements are also being restrained by the Holy Church, and because the forces that make up the entire reinforcement are somewhat complicated, the coordination problems between the various forces at this stage have not been completely solved.
Although the threat of the super-large magic circle is indeed very serious, they have paid enough attention and have begun to investigate, but in just a few days, the gains are really limited.
However, in Lu Lin's opinion, he doesn't want them to gain anything.
He said that he didn't know what he could do next. In fact, to be more precise, he didn't know what the people of the School of Necromancer were going to do.
But there is one thing he is very sure of...
"Hmm..." Lu Lin, who was basking in the sun on the roof of the martial arts training ground, suddenly covered his temple.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Luo Di on the side asked in confusion.
"I was hit on the head by the familiar," Lu Lin said, "It seems that it's time..."
As he said that, Lu Lin turned over the stool and walked downstairs quickly.
Seeing this, Li Mi followed Lu Lin downstairs.
Luo Di was curious and followed him down.
The three of them came to the first floor of the martial arts training ground. After Lu Lin entered the door, he put on a crow mask, took off the long staff behind him, and walked towards the center of the magic circle.
Li Mi ran to the sofa outside and sat down with ease.
Luo Di walked to a pillar near the wall, leaned against the wall, and scanned the magic circle in front of him.
To be honest, he didn't quite understand this magic circle.
As a practical black magician who takes into account close combat, Luo Di's research on the formation is very targeted. Basically, he only studies the defensive or trap-type formations that may be encountered in actual combat.
The formation that Lu Lin is currently arranging is an extremely unconventional netherworld curse formation in the necromancy formation. Luo Di can hardly understand what it is used for.
However, with experience and feeling, Luo Di can generally feel the general tendency of things like formations.
For example, whether a formation is used for attack, defense, escape, or summoning, he can judge 90% of it by instinct alone.
But now, looking at the magic array set up by Lu Lin, he couldn't feel what it was used for.
Or...
This array itself is a formation that will not bring any practical effect?
As if responding to Luo Di's question, Lu Lin closed his eyes and began to chant a spell with a regular rhythm like a poem in the air.
It was a poem with grammar that Luo Di had never heard before.
Each single note contained a complex spell, and a short sentence, when put together, seemed like a whole article.
