"Emil, how is the situation?" Rogge asked about the strategy of the formation.
"I've sent enough troops to the remaining two small formations, so capturing them won't be a problem. However, the one farther away is all mobile troops, so breaking the formation may be slower."
"Do you want us to support you?"
"No, they will probably be finished by the time you arrive. We can just go back to the preset location and wait for news."
Near noon, good news came from the remaining two locations. One large formation eye and four small formation eyes that had been discovered so far were all breached.
"Inform the reconnaissance team to continue sending people to search the formation and find the location. There is no need to get too close." Emil said.
Emil's health is not yet good, but he is in a good mood. According to this progress, he will be able to break through a large number of formations within a few days, and breaking through the barrier is just around the corner.
Now he is waiting for the news to be sent back from the border of the Secret Garden, but according to the speed of the messenger's flight, it is estimated that it has not reached the border yet, let alone the news coming back.
The entrance to the secret garden is outside the boundary membrane.
The Great Dark Magister Zoenge has detected that the boundary membrane has weakened by 7 points in one morning. So far, the boundary membrane has weakened by 49 points. It is "just a little short" of breaking through the 50-point limit in the true sense.
Zoenger told the news to the three saints who were on duty. The three saints looked happy and relaxed a little.
"That boy Emil did a good job. It seems that there is hope of breaking through the barrier today."
The troops of the Soul-Calling Holy Kingdom were ready to go outside the boundary membrane. They had made all the necessary preparations and were waiting for support to break through the boundary membrane and enter.
However, the barrier that was only a little bit broken had existed long enough after all.
At noon, when the sun was at its highest, Catherine specifically ordered the large and small array eyes to support the time.
A touch of blood enveloped the bright sun, making the warm sunshine hazy.
With Catherine's central formation as the core, the remaining virtual main formation and the main formation as the axis, and the remaining large and small formation eyes as the fulcrum, the entire secret garden suddenly surged with blood!
The rushing blood shuttled through the fulcrum and flowed to all parts of the secret garden, forming a complex and mysterious pattern. The places where there were fulcrums were bright red and clear, and the places where there were no fulcrums were slightly dim.
Even the midday sun couldn't drive away the surging blood energy, and the entire secret garden seemed to be plunged into a sea of blood.
The sun, already covered in a layer of blood, gradually became redder under the influence of the blood array, and the day became a red sun.
This frightening sight of the heaven and earth changes alarmed everyone. The three saints looked at the blood-red sun and the permeating blood and remained silent for a long time, seeming to have forgotten to say anything to comfort the warriors who were equally astonished as him.
"This is Catherine's self-created blood formation, Zoenge, what can you see?" The Holy King appeared beside the three saints at some unknown time and stared seriously at the blood energy in the secret garden.
Zoenge opened his eyes, and his eyes returned to normal from the completely black state, and said: "It seems that among the three main formations of the blood clan, one is responsible for maintaining the boundary membrane, the other is in charge of transfer, and the last one is responsible for absorbing and transforming blood energy."
"But didn't the Holy Son destroy a main formation?" said the Three Saints.
"Yes, I speculate that the blood formation created by Catherine also has a core formation, which temporarily replaced the destroyed main formation."
"Absorb blood energy..." The Holy King pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes and said, "The vampires are killing people in the secret garden. Are you waiting for today?"
The three saints were horrified. He had not connected the blood array with killing before. Now it seems that the blood clan is not just about killing. The blood in the sky must have its effect.
"What is Catherine going to do?" asked the Three Saints.
"I don't know. No matter what she does, it seems that she has mostly succeeded now. Tell the army not to panic, maintain the original plan, and march as soon as the barrier is broken. Zoenge, how is the barrier?"
"The blood energy explodes and the strength of the boundary membrane increases. There is no possibility of breakthrough now."
"……wait."
"Blood Queen" Catherine personally created a carefully arranged blood formation that even the Holy King could not break. I am afraid that the only people in the world who can break it are the Elf Queen "Heart of the Forest" Bilodis and one of the founders of the Adventurer Association. A "Moonlight Breeze" Ivanisa.
Both elves are the top figures in the world, and they cannot be always at their call. All the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom can do is wait.
…………
Under the sacred tree, noon.
At the moment when the sun reached its highest point, Catherine, who had been waiting in the core formation, turned her palms. Her gorgeous black dress moved automatically without wind. Scarlet blood burst out from her body and lingered around her perfect and enchanting body. There is no trace of charm in the eyes of the people at this moment, but only the confidence of a strong man who controls the world!
The pure blood energy emitted by Catherine seeped into the core formation, and the blood patterns on the ground lit up, emitting a dazzling red light. The main formations and the formation patterns of the large and small formations in various parts of the secret garden lit up accordingly.
The blood knights in each formation knew that the time had come, and thrust their heavy swords straight into the ground, chanting loudly: "Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull seat! I offer my blood! I offer it to my emperor!"
As the blood knights chanted, the blood patterns on their bodies alternately shone brightly and darkly, complementing the array patterns.
The blood lines were extremely bright, and the blood knight's body burst out a large amount of blood to the surroundings. The blood turned into blood mist and blended into the blood array, providing power for the blood array to drive.
The blood knights who had completed the blood sacrifice quickly shriveled up and lost all vitality within a breath. They dedicated their whole bodies of blood and life to their queen.
The blood clan draws the main formation.
The blood energy collected from all the blood arrays, including the core array, is gathered here, and the purest one is the blood energy belonging to Catherine.
With Catherine's blood as the core, the blood of the blood knights merged in, and in an instant blood light shot into the sky! The blood-colored formations floated up, and the outer and inner formations began to rotate in opposite directions.
The significance of the "Ji" in the main formation came into play. The main formation was running at high speed, absorbing all the blood accumulated in various formation eyes since the random transmission of blood clan massacres for more than a month.
The blood energy that had not dispersed on the ground also appeared, covering the ground, seeping into the surface, first flowing to the formation eye and then to the main formation.
"It's time, go ahead."
Catherine stepped hard in the core formation, and the virtual main formation in the distance flashed with blood. The head of the 16 dark priests of the Scarlet Holy See, the vampire woman nicknamed "Dark Sacred Scripture" maintained her posture of saluting the queen and was teleported to the main formation.
The Dark Scripture closed his eyes and clasped his hands to control the main formation. Suddenly, the floating formation pattern reversed, and the formation turned into vomiting.
The majestic blood energy that had been absorbed went deep into the earth, and under the control of the Dark Ceremony, it was injected into a section of the roots of the holy tree buried deep underground.
The top of the sacred tree.
"Sister, what on earth is Catherine going to do?" Yaoxing, who was muscular and simple-minded, asked.
"You, you haven't thought of this? The fruit is about to be ripe." The Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix looked at Yaoxing like a big-headed chestnut.
"Yeah!" Yaoxing covered his forehead and pouted, "But the Holy Fruit is of no use to the vampires. It's still poison."
"Catherine has so many tricks up her sleeve. I can't think of anything else she does except the Holy Fruit. Massacre? Although she is called the 'Blood Queen' and has a changeable personality, she is not bloodthirsty. Catherine will not do anything that is not in line with her character. , simply killing creatures is not her style." Jiucai Shenhuang explained patiently.
"But how did she know that the holy fruit was about to mature? Even I didn't know."
"You only think about eating, of course you don't know. Catherine is proficient in formations. She may have calculated it by using the formation she set up. The calculation is quite accurate."
"Oh, then let's just watch and not beat up that bad woman?"
"Almost all the Archbishops and Dark Priests of the Scarlet Holy See are here. The formation at Catherine's feet is not easy. If you want to break through it, you have to sacrifice your life. I can't bear it."
"Ah? Well, I don't want to die either... But although the Holy Fruit is a treasure, it's useless if she takes it." Yaoxing went back to the original question.
"When a seemingly useless treasure is placed in front of you, you won't think of throwing it away, but you will think of how to use it." Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix stroked the trunk of the sacred tree with one hand and paused for a moment. , "Look, isn't this coming?"
"What's going on..."
Before Yao Xing could finish his words, the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix slapped the trunk of the holy tree with both hands, and its arms lit up with nine-colored streams of light, blocking the majestic blood flowing through the roots of the holy tree beneath the main formation.
The clear voice of the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix reached the ears of the vampires under the tree: "Want to infect the Holy Fruit with blood? I'm afraid it won't be that easy without paying a price!"
"Ah, I've been discovered!" Catherine pretended to be surprised, but she showed a smile, spread her wings and flew straight to the top of the holy tree at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The three archbishops quickly followed, but only one remained in place, as if holding back the battle.
All the dark priests also followed. They were all at the peak of King level and early stage of Saint level, and were responsible for dealing with the Spirit King and Spirit Saint level spirit beasts in the secret garden.
Catherine arrived near the top of the holy tree in a blink of an eye. She grabbed the air with her right hand to form a small but powerful dark ball, and threw it at the nine-color divine phoenix that blocked the blood!
"Sister, let me help you!" Yao Xing transformed into the form of Star Yao Dragon and sprayed a galactic breath towards the ball of darkness!
The two energies collided in mid-air, and exploded with a "boom". The aftermath of the impact made the leaves of the sacred tree, which were barely moving even in the strong wind, make a "rustling" sound. The sacred tree was tougher than ten thousand forged fine steel. The branches are also swaying left and right!
"Yaoxing, be careful!"
Yao Xing is at the soul level, which is one level lower than Catherine, who is at the Saint level. At their level, the racial advantage is no longer so obvious, and Yao Xing will definitely be suppressed by Catherine.
"Yu!" Yaoxing was full of fighting spirit. His opponent was the mastermind behind the invasion of the secret garden. The thought of killing the bad woman filled his mind and he went straight towards Catherine.
Even if Catherine can suppress Yaoxing and fight, she cannot quickly get past Yaoxing in a one-on-one situation. Moreover, her physical strength is at the martial saint level, which is the same level as Yaoxing. If she is hit by Yaoxing, she will be injured. .
The blood energy was blocked and melted by the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix. If it was not stopped, Catherine's plan would come to nothing.
"If you want my emperor to pay the price, how about I give you my life?"
The person arrived before the words, because the person speaking was very close to the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, only ten steps away.
Shenhuang was surprised and had to free one hand to defend himself, because the opponent's thrust was extremely fast and at an extremely tricky angle, with a skill rarely seen in the world.
"Hey!" After all, the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix couldn't defend against this top master's full blow with one hand. It turned into a phoenix form and tried to distance itself to dodge, but the man followed closely like a gangrene attached to the bone, fighting with all his strength. Try your best not to let the divine phoenix escape to block the blood energy.
"'Shadowless' Brad, it's you."
Divine Phoenix recognized the person who was pestering her. "Shadowless" Brad was one of the Archbishops of the Scarlet Holy See and the most mysterious Archbishop. No one usually knew his whereabouts. He was the only Martial God-level assassin in the world.
Brad's concealment ability is also the best in the world, otherwise he would not be able to avoid being discovered by the God-destroying nine-color divine phoenix at such a close distance.
There are only four archbishops in the Scarlet Holy See, three of whom are still on their way to support Catherine, plus Brad, who attacked Divine Phoenix.
Then the archbishop who is still in the blood array can only be an extremely real phantom generated by Catherine using the blood array. After all, a warrior-level powerhouse cannot just find a subordinate to pretend to be someone who can deceive the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix. of.
After regaining its true form, the nine-color divine phoenix is very powerful, with high-level light and flame magic emerging one after another. The extremely sharp claws and sharp beak explain what the head of the raptor is.
In a head-on confrontation with the inferior assassin Brad, he was already defeated within ten moves. However, he did not come here to defeat the Divine Phoenix.
