Chapter 129: Battle at the Cathedral

~7 min read 1,350 words

The Devil Grand Duke Beiruier conquered Fantexi Cheng and successfully installed a rabbit of the Fantasy race as the City Lord.

However, this was Beiruier's limit. Severely wounded, he could not yet break through the dimensional wall to enter the Underground City in his true form to thoroughly harvest souls.

After leaving behind one of his Dark Elf subordinates to monitor the situation and signing several contracts with the new City Lord, Beiruier ordered his army to return to Hell to continue protecting him while he recovered from his injuries.

Generally speaking, there are two fates for planes conquered by devils.

One is being favored by a Devil Lord, where the entire population is transformed into devils, becoming an important source of troops and a logistical base for the Devil Lord.

The other is being favored by a Devil Lord, where the entire population becomes a soul-supply base.

Underground Cities like Fantexi Cheng are generally considered high-quality troop bases. Whether it is the magical Fantasy race or the species diversity caused by the fragile dimensional wall, they all make excellent soldiers once transformed into devils.

But since Lord Beiruier is currently severely wounded, he can only wrong the residents of Fantexi Cheng and have them contribute their own souls!

During the period while Beiruier is recovering, as long as the residents of Fantexi Cheng accept the ruling status of the rabbit Enqin Feng Gelaci, the agreement signed between Enqin and Beiruier will take effect. At that time, Lord Beiruier will be able to easily come in person to collect souls according to the contract.

Of course, it is also very necessary to build some cathedrals that worship Beiruier during this period to collect some power of faith. Devils never let go of any opportunity that allows them to collect souls easily!

Therefore, in Fantexi Cheng, the cathedral of the devil Beiruier is a forbidden place.

And the clever demon Bafengte successfully utilized this point, using a series of schemes to successfully turn this cathedral into the base for the Rebel Party.

Of course, necessary measures still needed to be taken.

For example, casting a bewitching spell on the statue of the Devil Grand Duke in the middle of the cathedral; otherwise, if Beiruier knew that a demon had appeared inside his own cathedral, he would tear through the dimensional wall again and come over to hack him into pieces!

Bafengte never thought that his shrewd plan would be ruined because of a crow.

When the rabbit Roman pushed open the cathedral doors, the two sides locked eyes just like that!

"Demon Bafengte, Minotaur Buleide, very good! I didn't expect you to be hiding here. The guts of you Rebel Party members are truly getting bigger and bigger!"

As high-level cadres of the Rebel Party, they were naturally on the wanted list at the City Lord's Mansion. Roman recognized the two of them immediately.

"You damn scumbags, why haven't you released the Baron yet!"

Roman didn't hesitate to pull three mechanical creations from his side bag. After they grew larger, they were revealed to be a scorpion, a six-armed snake demon, and a minotaur.

The scorpion and the snake demon were entirely mechanical, while only that minotaur was half-mechanical and half-flesh.

Buleide's eyes turned red the moment he saw the mechanical minotaur.

"Kaine! It's Kaine! You bastard, what did you do to Kaine!"

"Haha, want to know? Why don't you experience it yourself? Attack!"

Following Roman's order, the mechanical six-armed snake demon and the minotaur immediately brandished the weapons in their hands and charged up. That mechanical scorpion had its six legs firmly inserted into the ground, its tail raised high, with a red glow flashing.

"Boom!"

The red ray from the scorpion's tail pierced through the chest of a Rebel Party member, and a small explosion formed behind him.

The six-armed snake demon charged up with blades, spears, hooks, and forks in its six arms. When its huge mechanical tail with jagged barbs whipped a Rebel Party member away, it almost tore a kilogram of flesh from his body.

The most powerful was that mechanical minotaur, holding a giant axe burning with flames, slaughtering everyone in its path. There was no enemy that could withstand a single blow. Even Buleide, who was also a minotaur, was sent flying by a single axe strike. If it weren't for the 【Totem Tattoo】 on his body being effective, he might have been severely injured and unable to get up from that one blow.

Coupled with the assistance from the side by the shock troops, the Rebel Party was completely suppressed from the moment they met.

At the critical moment, the demon Bafengte summoned a demon guard holding a giant flame sword to block the mechanical minotaur, which barely maintained the situation and prevented a total collapse.

Xie Yaoyao, who received the news immediately, was currently watching the show gleefully through Lilisi's eyes.

Watching the demon being chased and beaten by the mechanical scorpion's flame rays, Xie Yaoyao felt very comfortable.

This was the bastard who planned the assassination attempt on him.

The battle started suddenly and ended quickly.

The Rebel Party had no ability to fight the shock troops head-on, especially given the huge casualties they suffered the moment they met.

"Retreat!"

Bafengte dodged another flame ray, only to be swept away by the mechanical tail of the six-armed snake demon, crashing heavily into the devil statue on the side.

When he shouted to retreat, he discovered that the half-mechanical minotaur had already chopped the demon guard into two pieces with one axe and was charging toward him with a roar.

And Buleide?

Damn it, this coward!

The goat-headed demon finally understood why he was the only one who escaped back from the operation to assassinate Xie Yaoyao.

This bastard ran away halfway through the fight!

And he didn't notify anyone else, running away secretly all by himself... no, all by himself as a cow.

"Since I can't run away, let's die together! Blood Poison Technique!"

Following a loud shout from the goat-headed demon, the blood splattered all over the cathedral suddenly began to emit blood-red smoke.

No one wanted to get even a little bit of this eerie smoke. All the shock troop members retreated in fear, and Roman's mechanical puppets were also momentarily blinded and stood frozen in place.

But this blood mist erupted too quickly. Most of the shock troop members didn't have time to escape and were screaming in terror.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

"Save me! Captain, I don't want to die!"

"What are you screaming for! I'm poisoned too!"

Yet after this group of people shouted for a long time, they were still jumping around, and no casualties occurred.

At this moment, how could Roman not know that his group had been played by that demon.

It wasn't any Blood Poison Technique at all; it was clearly a Taunt Technique!

Sure enough, when a member of the shock troops used magic to summon a gust of wind to blow away the blood mist, there was no longer any trace of the rebels.

Through Lilisi's eyes, Xie Yaoyao watched with great amusement.

And he had spotted the minotaur Buleide the moment the latter prepared to run away.

Thinking back now, the fact that this guy targeted him so much in Aier's room must have been because he was afraid that he would expose the fact that he was a deserter.

However, this guy was as timid as a mouse despite being a minotaur, and his set of entries had nothing attractive about them, so even though he was now alone and fleeing, Xie Yaoyao had no intention of taking action, just watching the fun from the sidelines.

Yet he hadn't expected his luck to be so terrible!

Buleide had only escaped the church for two streets when he ran into the toy bear Aaron.

A dark elf beside Aaron recognized Buleide the moment he saw him.

"Lord Aaron, that minotaur is a cadre of the Rebel Party; he must know where that important Baron is!"
