Chapter 406: The Sisters
The day of Incense Burning Festival.

The guidance group sent by the Imperial Holy City took over the defense of Carmel City, led the work of restoring order, and launched an investigation into the attack.

North City Railway Station.

This is an important location in the main city second only to the Scarlet Theater.

Traveling was extremely difficult in the Age of Ashes, and the fallen demons roaming the wild were a deadly threat to most people. As a result, the Empire invested heavily in building a main city railway that included all the main cities along the way. The high cost once brought the Empire’s finances to the brink of collapse.

Jiang He was standing on the platform. Not far away, a train whistle sounded. A pitch-black train with 36 carriages was approaching.

At the back, the old priest pulled Rorona and Green aside and whispered a lecture, which was mostly about some experiences and secrets of escaping. He had used his connections to get the two employed in the academy, the former as a teaching assistant and the latter as a B-level student to be assessed.

Lady Ash stood next to someone, her knee-length windbreaker fluttering in the wind, her white shirt covering her plump body. Her figure and appearance were quite eye-catching.

“There are no inspection measures on the Circular Railway. Instead, every train conductor is made of gold.”

Lady Ash said, “During the last all-out war between the Empire and the End Society, even though more than ten Golden Fallen were killed on both sides, this railway was not affected at all.”

“In the final analysis, it is the core members and ordinary members of the End Society who have to rely on this convenient railway to travel.”

“The Empire does not want to bear the huge cost of repairing every attack, and the End Society does not want to make similar infrastructure investments, so both sides had to reach a tacit understanding in this regard.”

Jiang He’s face was calm. From the initial intelligence, the fighting force of the End Society was not only composed of angels. Many branch presidents of underground activities in large states were gold without domains. In fact, only a few legion commanders of the empire had domains. Carmel City was not far from the Holy City, and the legion commanders here were already the best.

The Society of the End is not just a terrorist force. It includes rebels, political losers, ambitious people, various criminals who are not tolerated by the order, and several large religious groups that are hostile to the Kingdom of Atonement.

Objectively speaking, the End will be parasitic in the shadows of the Empire and the Theocracy, and a considerable number of its members are the embodiment of the enemies of both. The truly brilliant strategic aspect of this organization is that it unifies the fronts of all hostile forces, making it endless and continuous.

Drop drop!
The train arrives at the station.

Lady Ash pulled out a ticket book from her windbreaker, signed six tickets, tore them off and handed them to the ticket inspector.

“Senior, just get on the bus.” The ticket inspector smiled friendly. The Ash Academy is committed to cultivating practical talents, and its students are employed in all aspects of the empire.

Lady Ash shook her head twice, once to the left and once to the right, and said, “The rules need you and me to uphold.”

The ticket collector was speechless and just glanced secretly at the young man in front of him.

Five people got on the bus, and the carriage was bustling with people.

Green was a little surprised and said bluntly: “I thought it was a special car.”

“It is indeed a special train.” Lady Ash replied casually, “This train specially detoured from the next state. In fact, we are the ones coming, and the passengers are not aware of it.”

Everyone came to sit in the compartment, Jiang He chose a seat by the window, the little white snake looked around curiously, and seeing that there was nothing interesting, it ran back to the portable holy city. The celebration of the birthday of the Evil Legion will naturally take more than one day, and is expected to continue until a battle is needed. As for when the battle will be, it is to be determined for the time being.

Lady Ash also chose a window seat, but it was opposite. The old priest didn’t want to sit next to someone, so he simply sat next to the beauty.

Rorona leaned forward and tilted her head, looking at Lord Amber cautiously, and mustered up the courage to ask, “…Big Brother?”

Jiang He turned around when he heard that, and turned back after a moment.

Rorona: “…”

Can’t you see me?
Jiang He could naturally see this guy, but from a combat perspective, all of his words were meaningless, and basically all conversations were a waste of time. He had no interest in coaxing children, and had even always ignored them. As for Aya, of course, he couldn’t generalize, after all, there were differences in closeness to her.

Bang!

The train started moving on the track.

The oil lamp hanging from the top of the compartment swayed, and through the blinds one could see the city of Carmel receding into the distance, the desolate and desolate land coming into view.

The sky was gloomy and dark, with low-hanging clouds as if within reach. Strong winds howled from the end of the horizon, blowing up dead leaves and dust on the ground like countless ghosts galloping past. The mountains in the distance appeared blurry under the gray sky, as if shrouded in a thin layer of mist, their outlines looming like the back of a giant beast.

Groups of fallen ghosts were wandering aimlessly, there were tens of thousands of them, huge fallen beasts mixed with giant bears and the wreckage of high-rise buildings were migrating slowly, fallen wolves whose flesh and blood were intertwined with vehicle frames were roaming around looking for prey, and the lush black grass on the ground looked like a primitive jungle.

“The world is dying.” Jiang He judged secretly.

As the world consciousness degenerated into a collection of human hatred, the greatest defender of the Ash World has disappeared.

clang!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

The carriage jolted violently, as if it had run over some obstacle underneath. The conductor applied the brakes urgently to slow down the train, and it finally stopped smoothly on the track.

But at some point, all the oil lamps went out, and dim light shone in through the blinds, making the carriages look like giant coffins, and the passengers suddenly panicked.

“I have broken my leg!”

“What’s going on? How could there be problems with the National Circular Railway?”

“My stomach hurts so much, I’m about to give birth!”

The carriage was in chaos.

In the compartment seat, Lady Ash looked at the facial contour of the man opposite her and said softly, “Something is wrong.”

Jiang He responded with a look that looked like a fool. Even Rorona knew something was wrong now, and there was no need to emphasize it. The accident happened after the train passed through Carmel City, and the probability that it was aimed at them was very high.

The old priest looked out the window nervously. The black grass obscured most of his vision and perception. This fallen plant had an innate isolation property against sin energy. The two came from the same source.

“Those who dare to attack the railway have bad intentions.”

……

Under a dead tree.

The nun in black and white robes sat on the ground. Her appearance, figure, and temperament seemed very ordinary, but sitting in the wild without paying attention to others was a strange sight in itself.
She ate the Eucharist quickly with a knife in hand, conveying a message to the Temperance Church through this simple ritual.

Unlike any other force in the Ash World, the Sisters of Temperance specialize in gluttony.

Each of the great sins has a corresponding clamp in the infinite void, just as the Church of Mercy is hostile to arrogance, the Church of Holiness is hostile to lust, and the Church of Temperance is committed to eliminating gluttony.

The world of ash belongs to the two major battlefields of the end and all living things. The highest limit for creatures from the outside world to enter is the peak of silver.

To ensure the success of the operation, Sister Temperance shattered her mythic form and golden realm, destroying the hierarchy of life and falling from the heroic rank to the silver rank.

In the five years after her advent, she contracted with the Abyss Ghost, joined the Church of Atonement, achieved gold again, and finally recovered to become the strongest in the world.

Different from the tragic life of previous generations of Gluttony, this generation of Gluttony was born a battlefield walker. His identity was exposed too early in the battle, but he can still live freely.

Even the super power of the Infinite Void, the allied organization of the seven churches – the Holy Kingdom of Heaven, is unable to fight against the battlefield camp alone.

Sister Temperance finished her prayer and began her final preparations. In fact, she was not very compatible with the Repentant Abyss Ghost, because she did not think she had anything worth repenting for. However, the mental imagery arming could increase her chances of winning. Her stubborn ideas were not worth mentioning in front of the church’s cause, so repentance became necessary. As for how the church locked Gluttony, Sister Temperance knew a little. The high-level players of the End had positions in the church, and they completed the report through the reminders of the battlefield. After coming, Gluttony’s nature was bound to be restless. When she learned about the Carmel raid, she immediately set out to come.

“The holy war is imminent, may my God have mercy on me.”

“Gluttony should be temperate.”

At the same time, hundreds of End of the World players are in the dark bushes of the wilderness. All members, without exception, are at the peak of Silver. Under the cover of Origin, the End of the World battlefield cannot detect the identity of the invaders, so this fallen adventure group always follows the actions of the Sister of Temperance.

[Team Mission: Temperance Holy War]
[Task time limit: None]
[Mission objective: Kill the origin invaders]
[Task Reward: Undying Level Team Skill Scroll*3]
[Task Penalty: None]
“The train has been stopped.”

“The target is in the carriage!”

“Kill all living creatures, and everyone will enter the state of depravity!”

“Go ahead.”

The fallen adventure leader set an example, with countless strands of flesh and blood covering his body, and his eyes immediately turned as red as blood.

In the Knights of Redemption of the Theocracy, there is a technology that imitates the life form of the Abyss Demon. By degenerating all the supernatural powers in the body, and then concentrating the supernatural powers of the same nature to amplify the body, it ultimately creates a powerful killing machine, at the cost of temporarily losing sanity.

In an instant, hundreds of Berserkers launched a charge. Experience has shown that fancy battles pose no threat to the Overlord, so this time, the End recruited a simple and rough legion of players.

……

in the carriage.

The roars outside converged and overlapped. The passengers were confused and thought that the train had lost its ability to shield fallen ghosts. There was chaos everywhere and some people even chose to abandon the train and flee.

Lady Cinder frowned and said, “This location is too unfavorable for us. This is an area with dense black grass. We can’t sense anything.”

The old priest looked at someone blankly. He suspected that the other person was the source of the disaster. He became obviously more unfortunate following this guy.

Jiang He noticed the old priest’s presumptuous look, which was full of resentment of an honest man, but he refused to admit it. He thought that Origin had arranged for him to descend in Carmel City, and he might have anticipated the raid. This attack was definitely a sequel to the failure of the plan, and he was also in the position of a victim.

“The train cannot break down, otherwise there might be more trouble when we rush to the Holy City.” Jiang He said, “I’ll mark the enemy’s position.”

As soon as the words fell, a battlefield made of flames emerged.

Jiang He opened his all-seeing eye, his eyes were pure white, and as he scanned the surroundings, he took in everything.

On the flaming sand table, pale gray thunder formed a train and bright red thunder marked the enemies. The current situation was clearly visible and was being adjusted at any time according to the actual situation.

Lady Ash was secretly astonished. This search capability alone was enough to be horrifying. Amber was good at a wide range of things, and the ability to kill Emperor Abyss was obviously just one of them.

The only problem was that when the other person’s eyes swept over her, the overly deep gaze made her feel uncomfortable all over, but now was not the time to care about these trivial details.

When the old priest saw the sand table, he lowered his head in thought, his expression gradually becoming complicated. The Overlord’s detection range exceeded a radius of ten kilometers, which meant that the trap and siege they organized in the Ninth Fortress might have been a joke from the beginning, and the other party was most likely to have jumped in on their own initiative.

Roar!
A corrupted player crashes into the train wall.

Jiang He thrust out a sword finger, unleashing pure force. A ray of invisible wave hit the enemy, shattering most of his chest.

“Ok?”

The fallen player fell to the ground and struggled, half dead. Jiang He couldn’t help but frown. Even though it was just a casual attack from him, it was not something a normal peak player could withstand. It was obvious that after entering this strange state, the physical strength of the enemy players had been significantly improved, and they were roughly half as strong as those at the ultimate level.

The next moment, the Flash Elegy was launched.

Jiang He landed outside the train.

One after another, violent figures rushed out of the darkness at a tremendous speed, accompanied by a howling gale.

The old priest climbed out of the car window tremblingly. If he had no other choice, he wouldn’t really like fighting.

Lady Ash raised her hand and stretched out her fingers, then suddenly clenched them. With the support of the gold-level sin energy, the power of the betrayal ghost was activated, and the body and soul betrayed each other. This was a collective dizziness.

More than two dozen fallen players stood still.

“Be careful, the number is far from what we expected.” Lady Ashes hastily warned, “The effect of abnormal abilities may not be as good as expected.”

Jiang He nodded, and a silver light burst out in his hand. Every pattern on the Changhen Dragon Spear seemed to flash with a cold light. A dark red arc moon rose from the ground and swept forward at a high speed, cutting all the fallen players who were dizzy in half.

——Dragon Spear Technique·Wolf Smoke Rising.

Pieces of broken bodies fell to the ground, and there was no grass growing in the fan-shaped area hundreds of meters ahead. The deeper damage was permanently left in the soil.

Roar!
The second wave of fallen players attacked without hesitation.

Just as Lady Ash was about to raise her hand again, someone swung the silver-edged, red-patterned spear in her hand.

Boom!

The raging black flames were like a volcanic eruption. The huge roar covered all the noise in the carriage. The fire column that was hundreds of meters high was spectacular. It seemed as if there were a group of dragons entangled with each other inside, strangling all living things in the range.

——Dragon Spear Technique·Splendid Gray.

After gaining the blessing of the Undying Level Flame Control, Jin Xiu Hui displayed extremely powerful killing capabilities.

A burly man with a charred body rushed through the pillar of fire. He was a player who specialized in physical training. After his fall, his overall physical strength reached the highest level. Even when facing powerful countries, as long as he did not adopt a posture of destroying himself together with his foe, he could hold on for a while.

boom!
The sturdy man punched the enemy in the face, and the whistling wind pressure caused the wall of the train to cave in violently.

Jiang He looked calm and kicked straight up.

At the moment when the fist and the foot collided, the whole arm of the strong man was shattered into pieces. The pain almost made him fall into depravity, but the force of the attack was not reduced at all. He kicked directly into the upper body of the man and killed him in one blow.

Whoosh whoosh!
The old priest summoned his own mental weapons and killed more than a dozen people from a distance with a sickle.

In just a few breaths, most of the charging team composed of peak silver warriors were killed. The gap between different eras was despairing.

Under the dead tree in the distance, Sister Temperance stood up, and a pure silver balance scale appeared in her hand. This was her mental weapon, which contained remnants of mythological forms and the golden realm.

“I am willing to pay the price of having my realm shattered.”

“In order to maximize the strength and range of the domain within a quarter of an hour.”

boom!
The area of ​​the Sanctuary of Confession swept out.
