Chapter 79 Raid Operation
“These people...pretend to be Crusaders?!”
The first thought that popped into Miss Miranda's mind made her immediately on guard.
After giving a signal to her three companions, they quickly found a pile of debris that was not easily discovered and hid behind it to observe secretly.
"There are people in Xiacheng District who dare to use the name of the Crusaders to threaten citizens, break in openly, and even hurt people!"
"How dare they!"
In the teachings of the Cult of Radiance, the reputation of the Crusaders is sacred and inviolable.
The purpose of this team from the beginning is to fight evil gods, not to participate in worldly struggles, and not to interfere in the lives of ordinary people.
The Crusader's reputation has been slowly built up over time.
Wherever the Glow Gospel spreads, when people see a team wearing silver armor and holding a battle flag with the Glow Blade emblem, they are willing to take the initiative to provide them with clues and help. That is because everyone knows that this team is different from other teams. The army is different, their target is only the evil god.
Therefore, anything that may damage the reputation of the Crusaders is a major sin in the Glow Religion.
If someone pretends to be a Crusader to commit evil acts like this, once someone reports it to the Church of Glow, and if it is verified to be true, the impersonator will have to be caught and sentenced to decades of hard labor as punishment.
In Miranda's mind, the Crusaders are also a symbol of holiness. Members risk their lives to fight against the evil god. How can such a noble existence be impersonated at will?
Witnessing these pretenders threatening others in the name of the Crusaders investigating the evil god, Miranda said she couldn't bear it: "This, this, this... blasphemy! It cannot be tolerated!"
Miranda secretly came to the Lower City to investigate clues about the magical warning. In order to preserve the exact evidence, she also specially brought a photo crystal provided by the Magic Monastery to the Crusaders.
After the photo crystal is activated, it can record nearby scenes for a certain period of time and save them in the crystal.
As long as magic power is injected into it, it can be activated again and the recorded images can be projected.
Unexpectedly, she has not found any evidence about the evil god.
Instead, I saw a bunch of guys "pretending to be Crusaders" first.
Miranda carefully activated the crystal, pointed it at Brandon from a distance, and recorded him wearing the disguised Crusader armor, dragging the guards away from the blood-red mercenary stronghold.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the Crusader's station and report the news about someone pretending to be a Crusader in the lower city...wait, wait, something doesn't seem right?!"
Just as Miranda was about to close the photo crystal, she immediately returned to the station to report the news.
The scene before her eyes stunned her again:
After receiving Reina's signal, other believers of the Knowledge Seeking Sect immediately emerged from their hiding places.
This was a premeditated surprise attack, so they had plenty of time to prepare various bonuses before the start of the battle to reduce battle losses as much as possible.
After so many battles, Noven's followers also analyzed the characteristics of the Blood Fang Gang.
The evil god's power received by the Blood Fang Gang is mainly to strengthen the physical body, which will significantly improve their resistance and powerless attack capabilities.
Therefore, reducing the physical damage received has become a highly profitable response.
The fewest priests and believers got busy.
"Brilliant light, tough shield, attached!"
One after another, [Divine Word: Shield] was cast on warriors and Rogue believers who needed to get close to the enemy.
A small rotating milky white light shield appeared around them.
This means that they are being protected by the power of magic.
During the effective time of [Divine Word: Shield], if you are attacked, the light shield will automatically manifest to help offset a certain amount of damage.
far away.
If confusion could be embodied as question marks, then Miranda's entire mind must be filled with question marks at this moment.
Naturally, she immediately recognized the divine spell [Divine Word: Shield].
This is a unique blessing for priests who believe in the God of Radiance! One of a kind!
Only believers who are firm in their hearts and approved by the great Lord of Glow will have the opportunity to obtain the qualifications to use the "Divine Word" series of divine spells.
In Miranda's cognitive worldview.
Being able to release this magical technique means that the other party is definitely an undoubted loyal believer of Glow, and the kind who is willing to walk around the world to spread the gospel of the Lord.
This made her have strong self-doubt about her previous judgment that "these guys pretended to be Crusaders to threaten innocent citizens and harm others."
"Did I misunderstand something?"
"Not sure, let's take another look!"
…
Everything is ready before the fight begins.
Brandon was still wearing the improvised light armor of the Crusaders, holding the crowbar that he could use easily, and tiptoed into the small building where the blood-red mercenaries were stationed.
Reina has already taken her fellow stalkers to get a rough idea of the layout of the building.
A two-story stone building.
On the first floor lived dozens of newcomers who had been integrated into the Blood Fang Gang, and they were all still asleep at the moment.
The second floor is the real backbone of the blood-red mercenaries, where the leader and several core members are.
"The raid plan is very simple." Pett lowered his voice and assigned tasks to everyone.
"Rena, lead the stalkers, clear the first floor first!"
"How many can be killed without alerting anyone as much as possible."
"If discovered, then the assassination will be turned into a strong attack, and the mages will start bombing, and the battle will be quick!"
"Brandon takes the soldiers to block the stairs!"
"Before your defense line is breached, we will clean up all the ordinary members on the first floor, and then deal with their leader together!"
"Priests and friends are in the center to provide support, pay attention to everyone's health status, and be ready for treatment at any time."
"As for the rangers, protect your fellow priests and don't let anyone get close to them!"
Rena nodded and gave a gentle greeting, and the stalkers quickly entered the stealth state under the cover of shadow energy.
Due to the insufficiently bright lighting environment in the room, only their vague outlines could be seen.
Slowly opening the door, Reina quickly glanced inside.
The six members of the Blood Red Mercenaries all have the word "sleep" in their status in the information provided by the [Mystery of All Things] magic.
Reina noticed that if you look carefully, these guys also have weird sarcomas on their necks similar to those of the Bloodtooth Gang leader Evan, but they are not as obvious as Evan's. Currently they are only slightly bulging.
"laugh!"
The fairly sharp dagger cut through the sarcoma, and what spewed out was no longer bright red blood, but gurgling yellow-brown pus!
The ichor exudes a disgusting rancid smell. Reina decisively increases her strength. The shadow energy attaches to the dagger and launches [Sneak Attack] to hit the target!
At the same time, several other fellow stalkers also killed their respective targets!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
There is no need to be merciful when dealing with these guys who have been contaminated by the power of the evil god!
