Chapter 257: Never Winter Rains Part 6
"The queen is ordered not to kill people! No killing people! These humans are all slaves of the empire!" A reptile commander with long tentacles ran past the roof with six arthropods.
One of its clustered eye columns looked down casually, and then continued to move forward without any attention.
Under the room, a reptile with a huge mouth half of his body hurriedly swallowed half of his human body and hid in the shadows...
The reptile soldiers rushed into the city like a tide. The strange looks, slender arthropods and crimson hairs were like monsters crawling out of the deepest nightmare! They smashed open the courtyard gate, broke into the room, and plundered everything they had never seen before. And the citizens who had never climbed the city walls were the first to see this kind of disgusting and terrifying creature, and they would even be frightened to coma!
The walls were lost and Nasher was missing, but some people had not given up yet, and small resistance was everywhere.
The reptiles filled the main roads connected to Wudong City and several city gates, and slowly advanced towards the center of the city. The subsequent soldiers could not wait to start plundering, and there were many reptile soldiers who were eating and killing people, but unless it was too serious, the reptile commander chose to turn a blind eye.
The temporarily safe Wudong people are also threatened to stay at home! But this may not be lucky. You can tell by listening to the roar of the bugs that the future waiting for them is to completely become slaves!
People are almost desperate, Aribeth, Deep Water City, Gods... People don't know who to expect, nor who to pray to...
However, at this moment, the small Heim Church located next to the central area of the city suddenly emitted a faint white light from the inside out!
Although the light is not strong, it is particularly conspicuous under the dark rainy sky, and some people have seen it.
Although the church is still there, because of the last incident, the Heim Church had actually given up here. Before the war broke out, it emptied all the pastors and paladins, and there was nothing left except a believer who insisted on cleaning.
So when the white light came up, the only believer in the church who was praying discovered all this!
"Thank you, my Lord Heim! Thank you!" He got up from the ground with ecstasy, tears flowing! The old believer stumbled to find the key, opened the door to the bell tower, and rushed in.
A few minutes later, "dang-dang-", the long bell echoed over Wudong City.
"It's a sacred refuge! It's Heim! Thank you Heim, you are so supreme!" Countless people walked out of the house with their families and ran towards Heim Church with all their strength.
"Damn it!" Hearing the bell, the reptile queen jumped up from the throne and began to curse and beat all objects in the room frantically! But she did not dare to respond, and she didn't even dare to mention that sacred name!
"Order them to speed up! Block the entrances and exits of all churches in advance!"
The sacred refuge is one of the rules of war in Feren and many worlds.
When the Holy Refuge is opened, anyone entering the Holy Refuge, regardless of believers, can accept the protection of this God! If you do not want to accept this rule and have to enter the Holy Refuge, it is equivalent to starting a war with the God!
Heim even took the initiative to open the shelter, with a very clear meaning - "I just look down on you, an ugly bug, and declare war without accepting it!"
Reptile Queen,...
Helpless, endure!
"Is Heim the only one?"
"Only Heim."

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang"
Those bells are the call of life.
By this time everyone knew that the fall of the city was inevitable.
"Heim! Heim!" Countless people rushed towards Heim Church.
However, the Heim Church does not cover a large area, and there are a large number of statues and sculptures inside, so the space is very limited. Although the sweeper opened all the doors and warehouse doors of the church, only a few hundred people were squeezed in.
This is because the people who first entered the church carried a lot of luggage, which took up too much space. They had no malice in themselves, but when people realized that they should throw these things out, the church was already crowded with no place to stand. In the end, even at the outermost part of the temple, there were refugees standing on tiptoe against the wall, and indenting themselves into the white light range as much as possible.

"Heim, good, show your compassion." "Please, just send my child in. She is still young, please!" "Heim..."
The shouts and cries were connected, and the crowds crowded outside the white light prayed desperately, calling out Heim's name. Some people chose to leave, and more people were looking forward to a greater miracle.
However, those ugly behaviors did not appear here. Most people know what kind of god Heim is. A few who don’t know will be killed by the white light at the moment when they have evil thoughts!
But as the army of reptiles rushed towards this side, the crowd became more and more desperate, and more people became vicious due to despair...
At this moment, inside and outside the Heim Temple, it is like the concentrated appearance of sentient beings for thousands of years.
A half-large child, huddled in the corner of the wall, holding a sword and a shield in his arms, wearing completely disfitted armor, was staring at all this with wide eyes and silently.
"Child, don't be afraid, child..." The middle-aged man next to him was obviously afraid that his voice would change, but he took the initiative to comfort the child. "Have they started to let the child go to the battlefield in this armor?" The middle-aged man said angrily. There was a new wound wrapped around his face and a spear in his hand. He should be the survivors of the last group of militias sent to the city wall.
"Father, he died in battle." said the child.
"Where is mom?"
"Too……"
"I'm sorry, kid." The middle-aged man said apologetically, "They are brave warriors, and must be much braver than me...I'm a coward who escaped." He said self-deprecatingly. "But although we lost, we haven't lost yet. Believe me, because we have Lord Arrebes, Deep Water City, and Heim! We will regain our home sooner or later!"
The half-old child didn't say anything, and his eyes turned to the statue of Heim, which was half apart from the middle of the temple, with a pious look.
The shield he was holding in his arms was covered with messy grease on the surface, which looked like a inferior shield. In fact, under the grease, there was a red dragon engraved vividly.

When the bells sounded at Heim Temple, the prayer in the Grand Temple of Tyr came to an abrupt end, and for a moment... it was as quiet as death.
The bells of all churches are slightly different. These clergymen know that it is Heim's when they hear it. The bell rings, which means that Heim takes the lead in opening the sacred shelter! They all know that due to the two incidents of the fake Pastor Deszel and the sanctified Vanswick, Heim has withdrawn from Wu Winter City, and there is no church member in the Assassin's Church... but the church has opened the sacred shelter!
In comparison, all the remaining members of the Tyre Church, led by Archbishop Lindon, had kneeled in front of the statue of Tyre for a day and a night, but Tyre had no response... My Lord probably hated us and this city to the extreme, and wanted to watch these destruction together.
But at this moment, Archbishop Linton, who was kneeling in the forefront, suddenly stood up, and seemed so abrupt among the dozen people kneeling on the ground.
"Your Excellency, don't!" The priest kneeling behind him rushed forward and hugged his calves and begged. Although Archbishop Linton had taken the wrong path in major events, he was very kind to the people below, and no one didn't like him.
Archbishop Linton shook his head silently, pulled his legs out of the man's arms, and walked forward.
The dozen people behind him looked at his back in horror or shock, forgot to continue praying, and even forgot to stand up...
Step by step, Archbishop Lindon was kneeling nearest to the statue, and walked closer to the statue in just two steps. "My Lord, please forgive my willfulness." Archbishop Lindon was very considerate with God, and he could clearly feel Tyre's anger at his disobedience again!
But after saying that, he pressed his hand on the statue without hesitation - a slight blasphemy...
Like every church, the statue of the god located on the axis of the hall on the first floor is the hub of a temple, not only God can control it. Therefore, when Archbishop Lindon pressed his hand on it and injected the holy power he had stored for life, a reaction immediately appeared on the statue, and a bright white light appeared on the surface.
When the white light filled the statue, it began to spread to the left and right. The white light infected the ground, infected the walls, and infected the roof... In the end, the entire Tyr Temple turned into a luminous body like the Heim Temple!
"Great Tyre! Thank you for your protection!"
The crowd who discovered this scene all shouted surprises, and the ecstasy of salvation came like a tide. As the largest temple in the north, the Grand Temple of Tyr will accommodate a hundred times that of Heim Temple!
Archbishop Linton turned his head and said to the pastor who had just hugged him, "Then you will preside over it. Arrange people to ring the bell and organize the order of refuge. Don't let the people coming in bring too much, it's best to bring only food..."
Archbishop Linton was nagging and explaining.
"Your Excellency, why!" the pastor asked, choking and interrupting Archbishop Linton's words.
He burst into tears, because Archbishop Linton's body was shattering into white light from his feet.
This is a life sacrifice. Archbishop Linton is using his life to transform it into holy power to maintain the glory of the church. But in this way, his soul will dissipate after his death! He is a legend!
However, death was the real end for him, and it was no longer the beginning of another journey...
Linton sighed, then laughed again, and finally let go of everything.
"Because, I'm sorry for this city."
****
"Tyer! Tyer! You said you would agree with me to erase all this!" The reptile queen was so angry that she was about to bite her fangs!
...
However, with Heim and Tyre taking the lead, all the temples that were orderly or kind in Wudong City were lit up one by one. All the temples were opening their doors, accepting the influx of refugees, and standing opposite the invaders.
The white light that soared into the sky from the temple was like rows of columns leading to heaven.
