Chapter 441 Thousands of Miles to Help, the Empire’s Witch Hunt

  In a laboratory in the manor, the city of fire oil, Lin En listed the formulas while thinking, and the night passed before he knew it, and his thoughts were not broken by a knock on the door until the morning.

   "Come in." Lynn rubbed his head, his thoughts were gradually liberated from a large number of formulas, and he looked at the door.

   "My lord," it was Pierce who walked in.

   "What's the matter?" Lynn asked.

   "It's news from the empire. Speaker Harov asked me to ask you what you mean." Pierce said hesitantly.

   "Empire?"

  Lin En couldn't help but froze for a moment, and many guesses flashed through his mind.

   Wouldn’t it be the Holy See’s massive attack again?

  If that’s the case, it proves that 【Ella】has found a way to crack the nuclear explosion technique, which is undoubtedly the worst news.

   Fortunately, Peirce quickly explained that it was not the Holy See who launched the attack, but the propaganda of the priests and bishops within the empire, which led to the most terrifying witch hunt in history!

Originally, although wizards were hunted down in the empire, they were not welcomed by people, but as long as they did not reveal their magic, did not engage in any evil human body research, or sacrificed and other sensational activities, capable wizards could still get by. go down.

   Those who are better at mixing will cooperate with the local nobles to help them deal with some shady things. It is almost like his mentor Kelu, who used an identity to fool some rich apprentices to support his own magic research.

  But with the spread of doomsday theory, believers and ordinary people became increasingly afraid of wizards, and nobles no longer dared to take huge risks to continue cooperating, which led to the digging out of a large number of wizards hiding in the dark.

  According to the spies' reports, dozens of wizard massacres have occurred in the western border alone.

   "Many wizards are now preparing to flee to the kingdom. A wizard mutual aid organization has even been established in the western region. The council is considering whether to send an airship to meet them." Pierce truthfully told all the news he had heard.

  Lin En hesitated for a while, and sent the airship into the empire. This is undoubtedly a very dangerous move!

  They are still at war with the Holy See, but for nearly half a month, the other side has no intention of a large-scale counterattack, and has tended to temporarily cease the war.

   This is obviously the deterrence established by the big nuclear explosion technique, which makes the Holy See fearful, and dare not launch an attack without knowing their details.

  As for the parliament, the same is true. Now I only have the trump card of nuclear explosion in my hand, and the reserves of uranium 235 can only be used for another nuclear explosion magic, and cannot be easily used.

   And the longer the time dragged on, the better it would be for them. On the one hand, the mining of uranium ore was the preparation for war and the promotion of legends on the other hand.

   Now sending airships into the country is likely to anger the Holy See and directly lead to the outbreak of a new round of war.

   "Master Dean, do you want to reject this proposal?" Eloque asked cautiously.

  Lin En's choice is undoubtedly very crucial. Although most of the members now think that it is necessary to send someone to ask for help, if the dean insists on opposing it, there is a high probability that this proposal will not be passed.

   After all, Lynn, who was able to release the nuclear explosion and killed the incarnation of the false god, has become the trump card of the wizards, and his words are sometimes even more critical than the speaker.

   "Let's save it!" Lynn thought for a while and made a decision. "If we dare not even enter the country for rescue, the Holy See will only think that we are bluffing."

   "This may be a temptation from the other party, and we must fight back!" Lynn said firmly.

   "Okay!" Eloque was extremely happy, and reported immediately.

  As an aggressive wizard, he naturally agreed to fight back fiercely against the Holy See who dared to slaughter wizards.

   Received an affirmative answer from Lynn, and the parliament did not delay any longer. Immediately, more than 20 airships were dispatched, escorted by new fighter jets, and immediately went to the empire for rescue!

  …

  At noon, in the west of the empire, a dense forest was crowded with people, screaming, wailing and fighting.

   "Kill the minions of these demons, the spreaders of the doomsday..."

  The leading archbishop shouted loudly, and a large number of knights beside him had already stringed their crossbows, and a sharp rain of arrows appeared in the dense forest for a while.

Most of the arrows were blocked by spells, or shot into tree trunks and bushes, but it was not all fruitless. A small-looking apprentice was unable to dodge, and was pierced through the back by several crossbows. The person rolled and fell to the ground, and there was no sound in an instant.

   "Amon!" The elder witch's eyes split open, the flames around her body surged, condensed into several fireballs, and flew out with piercing screams.

The violent explosion tore apart dozens of knights in front, but the next moment, more crossbow bolts flew out from the smoke and flames, and together with the impact of the holy light cast by the three bishops, they broke the witch's body's protection. It exploded into a blood mist.

  Seeing the sacrifice of official wizards, unable to even slightly block the opponent's offensive, the fleeing wizards felt a burst of fear.

  The continuous rain of arrows continued, probably because they were afraid of the powerful and weird witchcraft of the wizards. The knights didn't come forward to fight melee, but kept using arrows and crossbows from a distance to consume their magic power.

   From time to time, some people are exhausted and fall behind, or they fall to the ground with an arrow.

   "Lord Lucas, what should we do now?" Several fleeing wizards asked anxiously, they all knew that if this continued, everyone would die here.

   "Those damned traitors!" The wizard named Lucas also cursed.

  Originally, they formed the Mutual Aid Association to deal with the increasingly severe pursuit of the Holy See, planning how to escape safely to the Kingdom of [Hadrata], which is said to be ruled by wizards.

But I didn't expect that there were traitors inside who betrayed their meeting place. The church had already sent people to ambush there, and killed them all while they were discussing. After a series of fierce battles, more than 300 wizards and a large number of apprentices The casualties were heavy, and only a hundred or so people escaped.

  Lucas was furious, but there was nothing he could do but speak out to comfort him.

   "Everyone, hold on for a while, as long as we escape to the city of fire oil, we will be safe, which belongs to the territory of wizards."

   "When we get there, we no longer have to worry about being chased by the Holy See, and we don't have to hide our identities anymore. We can cast magic openly..." Lucas kept talking about the beautiful life in the future.

  Although he is still not sure whether the news is true or not, the situation must be stabilized now. If everyone loses hope, then they are really finished.
