Chapter 465: The Vatican's trump card
No matter who it is, it is a very powerful guy.
Bourne caught the other party's attention with just one glance.
If it hadn't shrunk quickly, it would have been discovered.
"This kind of perception is at least level three! And unlike the pseudo-level three of the Seventh Ancestor who has been sealed for who knows how many years and whose strength has been greatly reduced, this guy's strength should definitely not be underestimated."
Faced with such a powerful enemy, Bourne was more cautious in his next actions.
He was like a real stone, lying among the rocks, using the gaps between the rocks to observe the situation in Monte Cristo, his eyes no longer fixed on anyone.
But even so, he was almost discovered several times.
Because there are more bodies coming.
It's surprising.
Shortly after Bourne arrived at the observation point, several hundred-ton cargo ships headed towards Monte Cristo.
Due to draft and terrain reasons, these cargo ships stopped a few hundred meters away from where Monte Cristo emerged from the water.
The cargo hold door opened, and neatly stacked walls of corpses fell into the sea.
Then the sea began to boil.
Countless fresh corpses rolled and rotted in the sea like dumplings and were pushed onto Monte Cristo.
In full view of everyone, he got up again and launched a futile attack on the Vatican's warriors on the mountain with his bare hands.
Although these re-empowered zombies move slowly and have low combat effectiveness, they have the advantage of being numerous and endless.
From what Bourne saw, there were seven or eight ships filled with corpses, and there were at least thousands of corpses on each ship.
Further away, there were more and larger ships, and the bodies on these small boats were carried down from the large ships.
The small boats that had released the bodies then went back to collect them.
"Where on earth did this body come from?"
Bourne recalled seeing in the news some time ago that 20,000 bodies were found in a hangar at an airport in Colombia.
"Well, maybe it was the Dark Council who did it. If they hadn't been discovered, they would have been transported here by now!"
"Twenty thousand zombies with the ability to move! It's terrifying just to think about it!"
"This isn't some zombie-killing game. How many people are there on Monte Cristo? Less than a thousand. There are 20,000 zombies, and each person has to kill at least 20 of them before they're all gone."
"But judging from the situation, it must be more than 20,000."
"It's almost time. The top leaders of the Holy See will definitely be restless. What should they do?"
Bourne thought to himself.
The half-human guy with fish had the same idea as him.
"Father, did you see that? When I have eliminated all those hypocritical people on the mountain, I will tear down the statue of the false god, put your statue on top, and then punish the American government. Yes, I know who stole our money, and I know that the American government is behind him."
The mermaid held the fork tightly with her remaining arm, the flames of anger in her eyes almost bursting out:
"Father, I am no longer the little boy who can only hide behind you. Although I look a little strange now, my strength is real.
Now, it depends on what those restless fellows on Monte Cristo will do.”
"Hmph, don't worry, these corpses and ghouls are just appetizers. The real killer is coming up, and I guarantee that I will make you despair!"
Just as more and more rotten corpses gathered in the water and surrounded Monte Cristo, Bourne was ready to retreat.
There is no way, the soldiers on Monte Cristo are too weak.
The speed at which they eliminated the corpses could not keep up with the speed at which the corpses came ashore. A large number of the corpses had no place to stand and had to float on the water.
Originally, it only reached the small hill where the mermaid was, but now, it was almost spreading to a place three hundred meters away.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly shone brightly on the Monte Cristo.
Dozens of figures emitting bright golden light rushed down from the top of the mountain.
These figures were extremely fast and unstoppable, and they reached the junction of the mountains and the sea in just a few seconds.
Killing the corpses is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
A rotten corpse that other Vatican warriors could only kill completely with three or four strikes could not withstand even half a blow from these golden figures.
Often, with a single sweep of their swords, they could chop off the heads of seven or eight corpses. At the same time, the holy fire attached to the swords could burn the corpses' bodies to ashes.
Just like that, the hillside that was just full of corpses became a place covered with ashes, and the slow-moving rotting corpses no longer posed a threat.
"But this is only a temporary solution. The Holy See must have other tricks up their sleeves."
Sure enough, while waiting for the corpses to get up and continue moving forward, these golden figures quickly took out some white stones from their arms and placed them on the ground. Someone came quickly from behind and input holy light energy into the stones.
Bourne recognized it immediately. It was the Light Stone that had been used in the secret realm of Tuanbao Town and the blood pool underground in Stoneheart Building.
"Oh, it's about setting up a holy light magic circle!"
Bourne suddenly realized: these corpses were ripened by black magic and had rich dark energy in their bodies.
Once the Holy Light Magic Circle is activated, it is like turning on an ultraviolet searchlight among a group of vampires. The destructive power is absolutely exponential.
Not to mention ten or twenty thousand corpses, even if there were more, they would fall down in large numbers when illuminated by the holy light.
However, will the other party be able to set up this formation?
The answer is, no.
Just as those golden figures threw the light stones on the ground, dozens of different monsters with completely different shapes and auras emerged from the sea, mixed in with the group of corpses, and quickly moved towards the hillside.
Their target was obviously the knights, saints and nuns who were supporting themselves with one hand and injecting energy into the Light Stone.
However, this time the golden figure ignored the slow-moving corpses and instead faced the monsters head-on.
Only after this action did Bourne recognize that the golden figure was the old knight whom he had met before.
Oh, it is not accurate to call them old knights now. They all have middle-aged faces and are quite agile in their movements. There is no trace of the old age and stiffness that they had before.
It turns out that this is the confidence that enables the Holy See to persist under the siege of dark forces.
Four such old knights can fight against the third-level Seventh Ancestor. Now there are more than sixty such old knights, and each of them has regained their youth and greatly increased their strength.
Can the dark forces produce another dozen or twenty Seventh Ancestors?
I definitely can’t get it out!
Well, this time, the Holy See is secure!
Sure enough, these old knights still showed their crushing strength when facing the monsters that suddenly appeared.
For corpses, one sword can kill seven or eight of them; for monsters with normal movements, one sword can kill one.
This was mainly because there were too few monsters to be chopped off. If there were more monsters and they gathered in groups, the old knights would probably behead seven or eight of them with their sharp swords.
