Game time PM18:53
Southwestern continent, northern border of Griffin Dynasty, suburbs of Likud City
" Don't!"
The handsome sergeant wearing complicated armor and with long golden hair backed up hastily, widened his bloodshot blue eyes, and screamed: "Don't come here! I surrender! I surrender!”
"..."
Did not stop because of the man's panic begging for mercy. Dozens of pale-faced priests, whose necks were covered with pattern-like dark green curse marks, just continued to express their expressions. He walked away, and on the blood-stained ground around him, hundreds of bodies were completely crushed into some kind of silhouette-like outline. Only the bodies with their heads still intact stared blankly, losing sight of them. There is only emptiness and numbness in the vitality eyes.
If you only look at the surface, these people standing in the center of the three-digit corpse are just ordinary priests. Except for the weird-looking patterns on their necks, they are like most of the Dreamland Theocracy. Priests are actually no different.
In fact, not only are they no different from the clergy of the normal Dream Sect, they are even part of the only group of clergy in the Theocracy that can use authentic dream magic without relying on 'whispers'. This is not a trivial matter that can be brushed off.
You must know that although today’s [Dream Theocracy] is under the guise of ‘Dream Sect’, its essence is the southwestern diocese of the cult [Whispering Sect].
It is different from the northeastern diocese that has been dormant for many years but fell into the dust in Sumir. Its ambition was abruptly killed by a priest from the Holy Church a few months ago. In the end, less than one tenth of it survived; The Chamber of Commerce has become a puppet and has become completely out of date after the collapse of the Marshall family. The Southeast Diocese was different; it had suffered a strong blow from the Sun Dynasty many years ago, and had finally survived the collapse of the dynasty, only to have more than thirty branches wiped out by a few chickens in one night, with less than ten people surviving. The northwest diocese, which has long become a mess, is different——
The southwest diocese of [Whispering Sect] is the strongest, strongest, strongest, and darkest supporter of the evil god in the world. Through constant infiltration and disintegration, it has forcibly transformed an orthodox sect from The crazy group that disintegrated internally and left no trace to replace it, regardless of Whether it is personnel, heritage, funds, territory or divine grace, the Southwest Diocese is the most powerful branch of this evil sect, and has been completely corrupted. Even the gods it believes in have been 'whispered' to persuade them to join the nightmare [Dream Cult]. Country] is the gathering place and protective umbrella for these evil god believers.
At this moment, the clergy in the [Dream Theocracy] are composed of three groups -
First, they are located in the core circle of the Theocracy and play key roles in various fields. Members of the Southwest Parish of the Whispering Sect, that is, believers of the evil god who do not believe in the goddess of dreams at all. These people in the world The blasphemer in his eyes has not been careful to hide himself all day long. He relies on the power of 'whispers' to make himself appear to be able to drive dreams arbitrarily. He is the real power class in the Theocracy, among which the highest leader, Archbishop Moon Shadow, is not only the Southwest Diocese. The Grand Priest and the apparent Dream Pope.
Secondly, there are those clergy who truly believe in the Dream Goddess and whose cognition and mind have been distorted by the heretics around them. Most of these people were born after the Dream Sect was officially disintegrated, and what they heard from the beginning were whispers. The voice was directly distorted by the host's "whisper" when he was baptized, making him mistakenly believe that he was recognized by the gods in the years to come, but in essence he was just an ordinary person who had been brainwashed.
It is worth mentioning that if these 'ordinary people' do show enough talent and can go further in the path of divine magic or paladins, then they will be secretly absorbed by the Whispering Cultists lurking around them. Considering The latter can freely use the evil power of 'Whisper', which can twist people's hearts. When the victim is unprepared, it is not difficult to successfully induce him to become a cultist. However, some individuals who are determined and stubborn will naturally be Deal with it early.
The last one is a member of the [Dream Sect] and a believer of the Dream Goddess in the true sense.
At this point, some people may be curious, who can successfully gain the recognition of the gods after the Dream Sect has long been disintegrated and cannibalized by whispers?
The answer is simple, that is, the clergy of the ‘Dream Sect’ before it was disintegrated and cannibalized by the Whisper!
Yes, after the Southwest Diocese of the Whispering Sect completely took over the Dream Sect, they did not actually kill all the clergy, although most of the believers were killed in a futile struggle. But there was also a group of people who were imprisoned after being captured alive, and provided to many Whisper believers with the magic of deconstructing dreams. The cruelty of the process and the misery of the experiences were simply beyond the scope of normal people's imagination.
In the end, when these genuine clergy had completely lost their value, their spiritual worlds also completely collapsed without exception. However, even so, Archbishop Yueying had no intention of letting them go. Instead, he made the best use of everything. Based on the principle, through a large number of blood sacrifices and rituals, these miserable priests were refined into puppets. Each of them seemed to be very pious to the dream goddess, and could even carry out basic communication with people.
They are named [Shadows of the Decayed], which is Archbishop Moonshadow’s little prank, and is also the Whispering Sect’s living commemoration of the complete conquest of the Dream Sect. In addition, these are extremely powerful in terms of killing. Efficient puppets can also be thrown into war, and anyone who is given authority can order them to a certain extent.
The dozens of Shadows of the Decayers located here at this moment are part of the elite force under Lamorlock. Their only purpose of appearing here is to eliminate the enemies in this area. .
The young noncommissioned officer who had been frightened to death was the last 'enemy' in this area who was temporarily assigned the strategic point of 'Eye-17', so——
"... …”
The leader of the Dreamland Priest raised his lips and showed a smile as gentle and sunny as before he was tortured crazy. Then he slightly tightened his pale right hand and stared into the other person's eyes.
“Uh-huh!”
Then the blond sergeant’s face froze, and his expression instantly became dazed. However, at the same time, the necklace around his neck suddenly erupted. The golden flame burst out on the spot and awakened the wearer, causing him to miss the last chance of a painless death.
“Don’t come here!”
Although it was only for a short moment, the blond sergeant was still almost torn apart in the nightmare and fell to the ground, roaring with splitting eyes: “Howard! My My name is Avigdor Howard! I am the noble top nobleman of the Griffin Dynasty. You can catch me! You can use me to exchange for a lot of wealth, land and even more things that you can't get from the battlefield... Woo! Woohoo!”
Because the priest in front of him roughly stuffed the index, middle and ring fingers of both hands into his mouth, Avigdor Howard was not able to finish his words. Not only that, after two seconds, his entire face In this way, it was torn in half from the corner of the mouth and then peeled off the face, leaving only the uncomfortable subcutaneous tissue and two eyes that were almost staring out.
"Have a...good...dream...child..."
The priest who was half-kneeling in front of him and throwing the dough on the ground smiled softly. , and then physically tore the poor man into pieces with his own hands. The latter, who was trapped in a 'lucid dream', did not truly complete all the steps of 'death' until the other party stood up and said goodbye. This is a life with a very sad ending.
"Don't be afraid...child, don't be afraid..."
The priest who always lives in the nightmare breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had just helped a child to 'dispel' the nightmare. He laughed happily, then turned around and nodded to the compatriots behind him, stood up unsteadily, and then closed his eyes with everyone, returning to the twisted dreamland.
At this point, the [M1-1] special operations force's elimination mission was successfully completed, and the last survivor at the [Eye-17] strategic point was eliminated.
Of course, in the eyes of these 'rotten people', they are just dreaming back to the daily life of solving people's problems many years ago. They solved some embodied nightmares in an exaggerated, humorous and clever way, and brought joy to people. Courage, peace and serenity.
So at this moment, these puppets who are forever trapped in dreams only feel that they have just done a good thing, and do not think that they actually...
...
[It’s just a monster! 】
Under a big tree dozens of meters away, a half-dragon ranger was holding his belly and retching. As the only spectator who witnessed the bloody scene, this veteran scout was about to vomit out his bile. But this is not his problem in a strict sense. After all, it will be difficult for anyone to quickly regain their composure after seeing the complete massacre that occurred in [Eye-17]. Killing is not terrible, but being able to kill with such joy and even innocence is unacceptable to most advanced intelligent creatures, even if Mo Tan is not under the 'Absolute Neutral' personality The ability to empathize with others is enough to cause severe physical discomfort.
[I definitely can’t hold it anymore...]
After retching, Scout Edwin endured the discomfort while cleaning up the traces of his existence. In the previous seven hours , he had been ordered to inspect seventeen positions, but he had never seen a living person like Avigdor Howard until just now. And now, although there are still five positions behind him that he has not inspected, he feels that he no longer needs to It went on.
He must return to Likud City as quickly as possible and try his best to convince Lord Merav Howard to lead a retreat and stay away from this incredible raid!
No one knows why the enemy who was theoretically resting in [Holi City] appeared here, and no one knows that the butcher named Lamorlock will knock on [Riku] in a few hours. The gate of Germany City], but Edwin knew very well that if the legendary devil really came here, the girl who had bumped into him in the alley seventeen years ago because of betraying his family, was obviously a noble lady, but A girl with no pretensions and a beautiful smile may never have the chance to go home again!
And the one who held her hand, had no respect for the 'nobles', and tried to lead her to escape from the prison, and the one who later gritted his teeth and joined the leading army in order to see her closer, was himself. The only hope for her to return home smoothly!
At this moment, Edwin forgot that he was not the only scout who came out to patrol. He forgot that if everything went well, Merav must have already known the situation, and he also forgot that the other party had long forgotten that person from back then. The fact that he is a dirty boy is all in his mind——
[Take her back! I must take her back! 】
The arrogant scout swore self-righteously in his heart, and in order to live up to his arrogance, he immediately changed direction and gave up continuing to move westward. Instead, he swept straight south and rushed towards [Lee]. Kud City].
“What are you going to do?”
His best friend, most reliable partner, and most trustworthy brother narrowed his eyes and asked him lazily.
“Go back to Likud City! I want to go back to Likud City!”
“Likud City? Are you serious?”
“Of course, of course I do Seriously! I have to go back to Likud City. Lord Merav is still waiting for me, Merav, my Merav, wait for me, wait for me..."
"Merav? You mean Merav Howard? And 'yours'?"
"It should be like this. She shouldn't have been taken back, but I can't stop it. I'm too weak and can't stop anything. If she hadn't been taken back, she would have fallen in love with me! Just as I will definitely love Like her!"
"It's so disgusting."
"Shut up, what do you know! I've tried it! Even if she is a descendant of the Howard family, I... How could I stop the Howard family? Damn it... Damn it...! I won’t try again, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
"Because you have already tried, you have no responsibility to work harder or take risks, right?"
"No, no, I am working hard, I..."
< br>"You know very well that you can't get Merav Howard, so instead of going back to the city to save her, you might as well escape by yourself. Anyway, you have already tried hard, even though... that was a long, long time ago."
“What did you say!?”
“Keep your eyes open, you bastard, and look where you are running.”
"?!"
Edwin shuddered violently, and then realized that he was not walking in the direction of Likud City at all, but was on a winding path, although it was not the same as Likud City. It had nothing to do with Merav Howard, but it was enough for him to safely return to the Griffin hinterland within three hours.
"Bad news, bastard."
The next second, the voice of a 'best friend' came from behind, making Edwin feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar: "You will die here."
“……”
"Then, there is even worse news for you."
"...?"
"Merav Howard will not die, and she doesn't want you to die. "
"What..."
A dazzling green light flashed past.
Edwin Mihaili's body fell silently.
