Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 938 Chapter 920. Position of the Saint

“The question now is, do we have a way to determine where Gertrude is?”

Lann said to Klimt.

Although their group is not large in number, they are all elite.

He and the archbishop Klimt, three winged knights in golden armor, and the remaining winged knights in silver armor from the original city of Lothric.

The combat effectiveness of the Winged Knight is stronger than that of the ordinary Lothrik Knight, but not as good as that of the Knight Commander.

 But generally because they are familiar with the teachings of angels, stay with the goddess all year round and listen to stories, and have more "miracles" about angels than ordinary Lothric knights, they actually don't suffer much from entanglement.

 The Winged Knight in golden armor is basically at the same level as Lorenzo.

Belonging to the Knights of Lothric, he is also considered an elite knight commander. He only needs the title to be promoted to the leader of the knights.

"I have a feeling for the Saint. This is a short-term blessing given to me by Rosalia. With the help of the Holy Deed, it can be used five times in total."

Klimt was still respectful and pious when talking about the goddess.

 The other party also responded with knightly salutes and prayers of blessing.

Turn around and walk forward, which is considered to be heading towards the inner city of Lothric.

 The group climbed up the escalator and got ready to go.

Klimt and Lann stood on the edge of the platform, nodding towards the Emma priests and Lorenzo below.

 After all, before the turmoil, their identities were out-and-out high-level Lothric armed forces and religious forces. The inner city is just a place of daily activity for them.

Klimt led the way and spoke to Lan behind him.

Like last time, Priest Emma placed the oath basin, and then the passage in the church connecting the inner city and the high wall was opened.

“Although I can’t pinpoint the exact location, I can feel the general direction.”

 If the two princes and the sages did not want to waste their precious armed forces here, they would definitely not set up defenses in such a close place.

Logically speaking, stone statues should be erected on the roadside or carved on the wall. This way of placing them is a bit like placing a coffin in a morgue.

 Although you have entered the territory of the hostile faction, you don’t need to be too nervous at the beginning.

Klimt, on the other hand, knows everything about Lan En, a valuable and trustworthy fighting force, and is very patient.

 After all, Lan En’s status in his heart is not low even for the item of ‘the goddess personally heals’.

 “This is also the technology provided by the original sage.”

 Because it is too close to the High Wall Church, it is actually within the radiation range of the Fire Sect's armed forces.

 Lan En has not been to the inner city yet, but judging from the looks of Klimt and the Winged Knights, they should be familiar with the inner city.

Lan En nodded. He couldn't ask for more from a divine princess who was driven out of the royal city.

When Lan En passed by, he looked at these stone sculptures lying flat and found that the details of their armor and weapons were so lifelike.

“These statues are all Lothric knights from previous eras. They are real people.”

Going all the way forward is a hall, in which there are many stone statues of Lothric knights lying flat.

 “What?” Lan En was a little confused.

The hooded archbishop pointed his finger at the statue.

“The petrification biotechnology of the original sages can encapsulate living things in stone statues, and they can be reactivated under certain conditions. These knights were originally Lothric’s reserve strength, and each of them is a knight commander who has experienced hundreds of battles.”

“It’s a pity that the activation technology is now in the hands of the sages. If you think about it, it is basically impossible for them to wake up these warriors. After all, in the hearts of warriors in previous eras, Prince Lorian did not have the prestige he has now.”

"If the prince's will is against the Chuanhuo, then making the right decision is a no-brainer for them."

At this time, Lan En saw two priests and two Lothric knights wandering and patrolling in the corner of this large room.

 After seeing their group, they would kneel down respectfully and salute.

 Obviously, Lorenzo and Emma, ​​the priests, were sent to guard this hall.

Although these petrified people, the Fire Sect currently does not have the technology to activate them and become combat effectiveness.

But we can't let the people sent by the prince smash them into pieces in the petrified state, that would be too wasteful.

 After walking all the way through this hall, we were at the forefront of the fight and strangulation between the two factions in Lothric City.

At that time, in the darkness, Lorenzo and the others started fighting here with the prince faction who came to attack.

 Dried and hardened blood covered the stone steps, and there were pieces of metal armor and weapon fragments chopped to pieces by huge force everywhere.

Scattered broken gun barrels, with **** war flag strips fluttering in the wind.

 The spear heads and sword blades were inserted into the corpses of knights and soldiers respectively.

These corpses also followed the tradition of Lothric, their heads were beheaded, and they were piled on both sides of the roads and stairs.

From here on, although there was no shout of killing, everyone in the team also entered a state of tension.

Klimt closed his eyes, as if sensing something. After a while, he opened his eyes and continued to lead the way forward.

 This should be his ability to sense the location of the saint after being briefly blessed by Rosalia.

 In mountain cities, the terrain of stairs is very common.

 On these stairs, thick shield carts and shield walls were temporarily erected. The soldiers and knights of the Prince Faction relied on these temporary defensive lines and the terrain advantage of using high ground to defeat the low ground, waiting to do their best to suppress the enemies of the Fire Faction below.

 “Continue walking up and you’ll find the Dragon Training Ground of the Knights.”

Klimt looked in the direction he sensed and recognized what kind of facilities there were in that direction.

At the same time, while speaking, his face became very ugly.

"What do you mean? Is something wrong? Your expression?" Lan En asked.

He was not familiar with the layout of the inner city of Lothric, so he did not know what these terrains meant.

“After the dragon training ground, there is only one bridge across from the knights’ chapel. It is the big library where the sages are!”

Klimt pursed his trembling lips and said, obviously the current situation was much worse than he had expected.

“How dare they. How dare they take the saint into the big library!? What do they want to do to the saint!?”

 Lan En’s brows also frowned.

He still remembers that Oceroes got his ideas about White Dragon Hiss’s crystallized magic knowledge and dragon transformation experiment from the big library.

 And this kind of place looks like an "evil research institute" at first glance. What will happen if the saint is captured?

Even in the worst possible scenario, Klimt didn’t dare to think too far in this direction.

As Klimt determined that the location of the Saint was probably related to the Great Library, Lan almost instantly felt the rage and urgency of the winged knights around him.

Their fat-shaped armors were clanging, and the sound of the iron gloves clenching the weapons was almost like a hydraulic press crushing metal!

 But Lan En reached out and pressed down at this time, suppressing the impatience and anger of these people.

"calm!"

Logically speaking, Lan En is not even a member of the Mother of Rebirth sect and has nothing to do with the Angel Faith. There is no need for these winged knights to listen to his command.

 But at the same time, Lan En was the first person that the goddess had actively healed in a long time, and rekindled the initial fire.

These statuses and deeds make the demon hunter's words very authoritative even though he has nothing to do with them in terms of status.

So although their hearts were still filled with ups and downs, at least the Winged Knights no longer looked like reckless men who were ready to kill them directly.

Lane held Klimt's shoulders that were shaking with anger. At times like this, Lan En becomes calmer.

“This team is not equipped for a strong attack, and you know it, Klimt.”

If just a few people can storm all the way into the sages' base camp, then all the Fire Spreaders might as well come up and kill the sages and princes in one wave.

 It is because we cannot do it and cannot defeat it that the situation is now in a stalemate.

Lan En continued: "Based on the worst-case scenario, the sages should have already taken action against the saint. There is no point in worrying."

"We will definitely take away the Saint, but there is no doubt that the resistance will be much greater than previously expected. So we should make more preparations to be more likely to succeed!"

Klimt looked at the team behind him with an ugly expression.

 Indeed, as Lan En said, this team was originally drawn with the concept of quick victory and quick evacuation.

 There are not many necessary but cumbersome bits and pieces prepared when facing a magician.

If it doesn’t involve the Sage’s Headquarters [Big Library], then of course it’s easy to talk about anything.

 But now there is a magician in the big library just two or three steps away!

"you're right."

Klimt nodded hard, admitting that Lan En's reason was correct.

 Then he took a deep breath, as if to suppress the anxiety in his heart.

"Suck~ Yes, yes, come with me. I once communicated with the priests of Lothric, and they have a self-built supply house here. There must be items in it to deal with those **** magicians!"

Klimt led the way to the side road, only looking at the stairs extending upward at the end.

 Further up, it is completely controlled by the prince faction.

As Lan En said, this is their last chance to resupply and reinforce. Once they move forward, there will be no chance to stop and rest.

Klimt led the way, and the team arrived outside an ordinary small house in a zigzag manner.

 On this road, there were many priests wearing priesthood hoods and robes. The long-dried blood on their bodies turned into a hard scab, and their bodies were lying on the ground.

The disagreement between the priesthood and the magician began as early as the mythical age. This is a difference in stance caused by the difference in the fundamental concepts of the two spellcasters.

 While King Osroais was still there, his prestige and power were enough to overwhelm all the forces in Lothric.

And he himself is one of the gods worshiped by the White Religion. Even in recent years, Karim priests have claimed that he is the main god.

Naturally, Osloais suppressed the magicians intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, the original Archbishop Macdonald was appointed as the Archbishop of the White Sect by Osloais as a magician.

 This move made Macdonald angrily call it "an insult to the magician" in the Deep Church.

The three pillars of Lothric are known to be "knights, sages, and priests." However, in the stone sculptures that can be seen everywhere, the sages can't see the characteristics of a magician. They are quite different from the priests who are priests.

The suppression that magicians received in Lothric in the past can be seen.

And taking advantage of the chaos, it is foreseeable that the magicians will take revenge.
