Divine Civilization

...

After a while, late at night.

A few floating clouds covered the moonlight in the sky, making the already dark night sky even darker and lonely.

It is still the sparsely populated old city located in the remote area of ​​the north.

A small group of undead believers in black robes are leading a young and beautiful bride in a wedding dress through the dilapidated streets of the old city all the way to the castle in the center of the old city.

This rock castle made of stone blocks, as if it was built centuries ago, is full of traces of the years.

The moon was dark and the wind was high outside the castle, and the candlelight inside the castle was flickering, and there was no sound at all around, and even the whole old city was filled with a strange and cold atmosphere.

"Go in, Priest Samuel has been waiting for a long time."

Several undead believers sent the bride to the entrance of the castle, pushed open the door, and signaled the bride to go inside. And those of them who finished speaking were like sculptures, turned their backs and guarded the entrance of the castle, and at the same time blocked the bride's backward retreat.

This beautiful bride is naturally the companion of the dark witch Judy, the female thief Amanda.

She still hasn't figured out what method Judy used to get her mixed into the undead sect and become the full moon bride who will be dedicated to the undead lord tonight.

When it comes to full moon brides, we have to talk about full moon festivals.

This is a sacrificial event to offer a pure virgin and a large amount of tribute to the Lord of the Undead at the moment when the moon is at its fullest every year. The local priest presides over the sacrifice, and almost all the believers in the area will participate. The scale of the sacrifice is quite grand. This year, Amanda happens to be the sacrifice dedicated to the Lord of the Undead.

"My lord, I am really crazy to agree to Judy's crazy request."

Amanda gave herself a big blank stare in her heart, there was no way, what she was going to do now was so exciting, just thinking about it made her hair stand on end.

This castle, no, to be precise, the entire old city, all of which are a large branch of the Undead Sect.

Going deep into the core area of ​​the branch point alone, even a female thief like Amanda, who has been wandering in dangerous areas all year round, couldn't help but take a few long breaths to adjust her nervous heart.

Just kidding, it is well known that the members of this group of undead sects are all lunatics. They believe in death and pursue death. In their hands, living people and heretics often suffer the most tragic torture.

In the lair of this branch, in addition to having a large number of brainwashed undead believers, the priest Samuel is a powerful holy rank not inferior to the priest of Solo!

If these are not scary, then in this lair, there is also a contact magic circle controlled by the priest Samuel, and the other end of the circle is directly connected to the terrible evil god, the undead lord!

"The Lord is above, the Lord is with me..."

Amanda prayed silently, supporting herself with firm faith, and at the same time began to walk into the depths of the castle step by step.

Compared with the last time I cooperated with Judy to assassinate an earl, going deep into this lair alone and doing some damage is definitely as dangerous as running into the palace and punching the emperor in the nose .

At any rate, if he punched the emperor of the empire, he would at least know how he died, but if he fell into the hands of the undead cultists, his life would often be worse than death, and even death would not be able to free him.

...

Amanda walked slowly along the passage in the castle with only faint candlelight.

The surrounding area was silent, and the thick dark air, like a faint black mist, continued to spread along the walls and floors.

Walking in this black mist, the bone-chilling chill, as well as depressive and irritable emotions kept rising in Amanda's heart.

This is exactly the frightening aspect of the dark power, but fortunately, not long after, a bright flame appeared in front of her eyes.

That was the hall of the castle, and it was the destination of her trip.

Just walking, the scene that appeared in front of her eyes made her frown involuntarily.

The hall of this castle has been arranged as a gloomy altar.

On the ground in the center of the hall, there is a strange magic circle composed of blood and human corpses that have just been sacrificed.

At the front of the circle is a stone altar full of candles.

On the table is enshrined a black god statue about half a person's height, full of evil inside and out. More than a dozen bloody hearts are being placed neatly in front of the statue.

Just below the altar and the magic circle, as many as hundreds of undead believers in black robes were kneeling on the ground devoutly, still chanting prayers in their mouths.

"Lord of the undead, you make the sun eclipse, you make the stars dim, you embrace everything, you are the king of the gods!"

Obviously, this was a prayer praising the Lord of the Undead, but it was only passed into Amanda's ears, but she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Compared with the great Lord of Light, what kind of Lord of the Undead is just a stinky mouse hiding in the sewer, who dares to proclaim himself the King of Gods without shame?

Amanda was full of disdain, and at the same time walked more firmly towards these undead believers.

"Beautiful bride, you are finally here!"

As Amanda approached, a pale and sinister middle-aged man slowly stood up in front of the undead cultist.

There is no doubt that he is the leader of these undead believers, the priest Samuel.

"Master Priest, I am willing to throw myself into the embrace of death and darkness, and serve at the side of the great Lord of the Undead forever and ever."

According to Judy's instructions, Amanda crossed her arms and performed a ritual similar to the burial of the dead, with an extremely pious expression.

According to the identity given to her by Judy, she is now a daughter of a nobleman who longs for immortality, so she wants to carry this through.

"Very well, beautiful bride, as long as you throw yourself into the arms of death and darkness, your soul will gain eternal life after all!"

Priest Samuel spread his arms wide, proclaiming his fanatical faith.

Perhaps because of the power of darkness, he was the same as Solo's priest at the time, his eyes were as red as blood, and his pupils were pitch-black. The eyes he looked at people were full of compelling evil.

In such eyes, Amanda's soul seemed to be seen through, but her firm belief in the God of Light made her persevere tenaciously.

"Come here, stand in front of the altar, and I will summon the great Lord of the Undead for you. You and the precious tribute will be taken away by the Lord of the Undead himself. What kind of luck and glory will this be?"

Samuel spoke passionately, and the hundreds of brainwashed undead Holy See in front of him were equally excited.

Under his guidance, Amanda walked to the altar filled with fresh hearts. A black god statue with a vague face but full of evil spirits was placed in the center of the altar.

"Is this statue a gift to the Lord of the Undead?" Amanda pointed to the dark statue and asked curiously.

"That's right, those of us devout believers, the cohesion of all beliefs."

Samuel replied proudly, "This past year, we have prayed day and night in order to help our great Lord of the Undead return to this world!"

"Now, the bride who will be dedicated to my lord, please keep quiet, I will start the ceremony, and the consciousness of the undead lord will come soon!"

After saying that, Priest Samuel turned around and stood in the center of the circle built with blood, leading many believers and chanting strange and obscure incantations.

"Judy is really amazing." Amanda secretly sighed in her heart, their leader, Judy, and that group of weird teammates really have some skills.

Not only did she find the always mysterious undead sect stronghold, she actually sneaked into the core of this stronghold without anyone noticing, even Samuel the priest didn't notice.

"My lord, it seems that this task is not too difficult." Looking at the black statue in front of her, Amanda's mouth could not help but slightly raised.

Ever since she became a follower of the God of Light under Judy's guidance, she understood that their beliefs would become the power of the gods.

The small black statue in front of him must be the vehicle used by the undead believers to gather the power of faith for the undead lord according to the information.

"The great Lord of the Undead, your servant Samuel, will offer you the best tribute..."

In the blood circle, the priest Samuel was kneeling on the ground in a humble posture, praying devoutly and intently.

However, his prayer had just begun when there was a "squeak" and the sound of clothes being torn.

Priest Samuel quickly turned his eyes to look, and couldn't help being stunned: "My lord's bride, what are you doing?"

"The skirt is too long, it hinders my movement, and the shoes are too high..."

Amanda tore off the skirt, veil, and high-heeled shoes, revealing her slender fair legs and beautiful short hair, "As for what I want to do? Hehe, of course I want to snatch your baby and dedicate it to our great Lord of Light! "

After saying that, she raised her hand and threw out several smoke bombs.

The next moment, the smoke bomb exploded, and she was agile, picked up the black idol, raised her hand, and the rope crossbow hidden in her sleeve immediately took her out from the skylight of the high fortress.

"A follower of the God of Light?"

Priest Samuel was dumbfounded. The believers of the God of Light would actually steal the treasure of the Lord of the Undead? What the hell is this called?

Of course, what made him most angry was that this little girl thief dared to snatch the statue that was about to be given to the Lord of the Undead in front of Samuel, it was unforgivable!

Terrifying power of darkness immediately burst out from his body. His face was angry and ferocious, and his tyrannical power was like a black tide. Even the rocky floor tiles under his feet were hit with countless cracks.

"you wanna die!"

Out of anger, Samuel immediately kicked his feet, and his whole body rushed towards the skylight above his head like a column of smoke.

The statue was filled with the power of faith accumulated by believers who prayed day and night for a whole year. Under such circumstances, if it was lost, the loss would be unimaginable!

But what happened next was far beyond his expectations.

Just when he was about to reach the skylight of the castle, he found an ugly and dirty half-giant, carrying a city defense cannon, waiting at the window for a long time.

City defense magic cannons have always been known for their enormous power, let alone a wizard, even a holy knight known for his strength, would not dare to resist the power of this magic cannon.

But this kind of cannon also has its disadvantages, that is, it is huge and heavy, and it is usually erected on the city wall and controlled by several soldiers.

But now that ugly half-giant, with his majestic body like a hill, forcibly picked up a magic cannon, and pointed the muzzle at him at close range.

This kind of unlucky thing that saw a ghost really made him suffer so much that he couldn't even tell.

"boom!"

There was an earth-shattering explosion that almost knocked down the ceiling of the castle, and knocked Samuel to the ground in an instant.

"Pfft!" Officiant Samuel, although he hastily built a magic shield with magic energy, he was still bombarded by the huge power of the magic energy cannon that had been charged for a long time. Blood.

"Hahaha, Samuel, today is your death day!"

An unmistakably excited voice came from outside the skylight.

I saw a witch wearing a cloak with a fierce look, leading a group of strange helpers, who had already stood on the top of the castle at some point.

Witches, goblins, half giants, and a wight and wizard...

Samuel glanced over, and the whole person was a little stunned.

What are these things? Believers of the God of Light? How can it be!

These inferior races who have been in the underground black market and sewers all the year round, let alone the God of Light, even Samuel, usually look down on them. How could the always harsh God of Light look down on them, and sent Are they playing dirty tricks against themselves?

But all of this just happened now, this kind of aggrieved and depressed, really made him a little hard to swallow.

"Hehe, what a joke! Just because of you clowns, you want to fight against this priest? You really don't know what to do!"

Priest Samuel's scarlet eyes were full of killing intent. With his wave, all the undead believers behind him stood up and quickly got ready to fight.

"That's right, it's up to us!" Judy stood high on the top of the castle, with awe-inspiring killing intent, "Your life today is a gift from the Holy Maiden to the Lord of Light!"

"Do it!" Judy proclaimed herself a dark saint, and as she raised her hand and fell, a battle started instantly.

"Hey hey, try this!"

Three goblin brothers from Suutan City took the lead, and the goblins full of precision mechanical mechanisms were blown up one by one, like jelly beans, and they kept throwing them down from the skylight.

Although the goblin race has a poor reputation, they are a group of races full of mechanical talent and strong hands-on ability. Their individual abilities may be poor, but the goblin bombs they made are surprisingly powerful.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, even a great knight with strong defensive ability could not withstand the strong explosion of a few goblin bombs.

"Boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of the explosion sounded instantly. Once the goblin bomb full of mechanical structures exploded, the core compressed magic energy and the high-temperature impact of the explosive device would be removed. The shattered metal shell would also cause serious secondary damage like a fragmentation grenade.

In an instant, more than a dozen undead believers were blown up beyond recognition on the spot.

"Ahahaha, blow up! Blow them up!"

"Huh? Where did I throw the bomb just now?"

"Forget it, throw them all in! Blow them all to death!"

Goblins are a race full of madness. At this time, accompanied by violent roars and explosive fires, the three goblins at the scene burst into screams of excitement.

"Exit! Exit the hall, and then eliminate these bastards!"

Officiant Samuel was filled with resentment, but he still gave a calm order immediately.

Now the only entrance and exit, the skylight of the castle, has been occupied by the mob. A magic cannon used for city defense was set up above his head and kept bombarding him. In addition, Judy, Moses, and the female thieves continued to attack him, which really made him tired of defense, and he couldn't even charge up and chant a spell to break through the castle dome.

So much so that he had to give an order to evacuate the castle hall first, otherwise they would be living targets!

"Jie Jie Jie, if you want to escape now, is it too late?"

The Lich Batris, who had been gathering momentum and chanting incantations, suddenly raised his bone staff, and a tyrannical mental wave spread out in the air at once, "The army of the dead that I have accumulated all my life, destroy it!" These wicked heretics!"

In an instant, scalp-numbing roars began to reverberate from the entire underground of the castle.

"Aw!"

The terrifying roar seemed to come from the deepest part of hell, making the already chaotic undead believers even more nervous and panicked.

"Yes, it's the sound from the sewer!"

A necromancer reacted, but it was too late.

Groups of locust-like skeletons, ghouls, etc., like extremely hungry beasts, began to flock to the central hall from every corner of the castle.

There are thousands of skeletons and ghouls!

They don't know pain, fear, or thinking. The only thing they can do is to tear living things into pieces and swallow them clean.

The undead believers, together with their priest Samuel, began to panic.

The castle they are in is all made of huge rock bricks, solid and thick, surrounded by rock walls that cannot be smashed, and the only four entrances and exits are being filled to the brim by thousands of skeletons and ghouls .

In other words, they have nowhere to escape now.

"etc!"

"You, look! There are still things tied to the bodies of those skeletons and ghouls!"

Another undead believer cried out in panic.

Officiant Samuel quickly turned his eyes to look, and his heart suddenly became cold.

Goblin bombs are actually strapped to the backs of those crazy skeletons and ghouls!

With so many skeletons and ghouls, and such a large-yield goblin bomb, do those lunatics want to die with them?

How did that crazy woman come up with such a vicious tactic? Don't even want their own lives?

Before Samuel could react, a violent explosion sounded.

"Boom!"

At the moment when he was engulfed by the blazing flames, there was only one thought left in Samuel's mind: They are finished!

As the head priest of a sect of the undead, at the moment of being destroyed, Samuel was not without dying.

During the crisis, he initiated the sacrifice of life, using his own life and soul to summon the clone of the undead lord to descend. But I don't know if it's because the recent return of the God of Light is too powerful, or because the Lord of the Undead has been a little overwhelmed with himself. Samuel's priest's call was not successful, and the Lord of the Undead did not respond to him at all.

Without the protection of the gods, and consuming a lot of vitality in the sacrifice, a generation of Samuel, who was comparable to Solo's priest, just died of hatred under the siege of Judy and others.

"Jie Jie Jie, kill all these heretics! Burn them all! Snatch them all!"

"I will use the most blazing fire to cleanse the sins of this land!"

Under the almost crazy command of the dark witch Judy, after half a full magic month of fierce fighting, the undead lord's large branch stronghold in the north, together with all the members inside, were all taken away by her and her companions!

The entire castle was almost blown down, and there were fires, toxins, and decaying places formed by large-scale curses everywhere.

On the ruins full of flames, the dark witch Judy led her companions to pray devoutly and fanatically to the God of Light.

...

"Ah Choo!"

Wu Hui in the Kingdom of God sneezed again. In desperation, he had no choice but to rub his nose, and selectively checked the channel of faith.

It turned out that the channel of the dark witch Judy was flickering and beating strongly. Wu Hui's eyelids couldn't help twitching, thinking to himself, this witch won't cause trouble for him again, right?

Feeling uneasy, Wu Hui opened the gate of heaven, and looked down to the lower world with his consciousness, and he was stunned immediately.

It was a remote old city far outside the control of the Holy See of Light. The place was humid and cold, and there were few people. If it is on weekdays, it may be an ancient town full of historical charm and unique scenery. But now, the ancient castle in the center of the town has completely collapsed, and half of the city has been reduced to a sea of ​​flames.

"This, this town, maybe it was blown up by Judy's gang?"

A drop of cold sweat fell off Wu Hui on the spot, and when he looked carefully, even he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This town was more than just being bombed. In the ruins of the sea of ​​fire, Judy and her strange companions were praying fervently and earnestly.

Right in front of them, apart from a large pile of various treasure resources and dozens of wallets, a black god statue with a strong evil spirit immediately attracted Wu Hui's attention.

"That's... the statue of the Lord of the Undead?"

Wu Hui was a little dumbfounded on the spot.

He naturally recognizes the aura of the Lord of the Undead, and this god is a special tool for storing the power of faith. The black statue below is full of power of faith. It is obvious that this old city is a stronghold of the Lord of the Undead. The large number of corpses wearing black sacrificial robes behind Judy and others has clearly proved this point.

It's just... Judy and the group, did they just hand over a branch of the Lord of the Undead?

Where did they get the intelligence and courage from?

While Wu Hui was amazed, Zhu Di and the others below had discovered the miracle that was revealed in the air, and the group of people became enthusiastic on the spot.

"Light, light my lord! My lord has really answered our call, and my lord has shown us a miracle!"

The female thief Amanda burst into tears on the spot, knelt down on the ground in gratitude.

Wu Hui raised his brows, thinking to himself that this female thief looks pretty good, but why is she still wearing a tattered wedding dress?

The person at the scene who also had tears in his eyes was the Lich Batris who died more than 80 years ago.

At this time, the dead lich knelt down on the ground tremblingly, and opened his arms excitedly toward the miracle in the sky: "My lord, the me in the past was just a beast that went astray. Lamb, but you guided me in the direction, you saved my withered soul, I, Batris, would like to dedicate everything to the great lord of light!"

This, this is... a lich? Wu Hui saw it, his head was dizzy, and he thought to himself, you, a lich, are you sure you want to believe in him, the God of Light? Under the shining of the Holy Light, you, a lich, are not afraid of losing your life?

There are not only liches, goblins, orcs, half giants, and even barbarians... everything is there.

But it is such a strange combination that actually took over a large branch of the Lord of the Undead, and their beliefs are still very firm, and their belief levels are all above devout believers. Among them, the female thief Amanda and the Lich Batrice, at the level of belief just now, has reached the level of a fanatic!

As the leader of this miscellaneous army, the dark witch Judy was also in this miracle, and her faith level soared all the way to the limit of fanatics!

"This Zhu Di is really doing her best for him, the God of Light." Wu Hui in the Kingdom of God thought to himself, "Although the companions she summoned are somewhat ugly, they seem to have fulfilled the sentence, people should not be judged by appearances."

They should be rewarded with something.

With a movement of Wu Hui's mind, a divine power first transported all the sacrificed tributes below back to the Kingdom of God.

At first glance, those bits and pieces are worth a lot, especially the black god statue. After Wu Hui used a little bit of divine power to drive out evil spirits and purify it, the power of faith stored inside was completely transformed into Words of divine power, as many as 100 points!

Although Wu Hui has begun to take shape and has a lot of divine power, 100 points of divine power is not a small amount.

Adding some other odds and ends, this time Judy and others sent him precious resources worth more than 120 points of divine power!

Next, Wu Hui was not stingy. Not only did he lower his divine power, he promoted the dark witch Judy to the seventh-level holy realm, and all her companions present were also promoted by him to one level. The female thief Amanda, the lich Batris, There are also three goblins and half-giant Karma, these backbone members have reached the level 6 sub-sage state.

Although Wu Hui spent a little more divine power than Judy contributed, but the way this group of people are doing their best for him, the God of Light, is worthy of his promotion and encouragement.

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord, for your care!"

"My lord's majesty is immortal!"

With the care and blessing of Wu Hui, the God of Light, the mood of Zhu Di and others below became more excited, and their belief in dedicating to the Lord of Light became more firm and firm.

If they hadn't done a great job, how could the great God of Light personally descend on them?

Naturally, Wu Hui didn't know what the following believers were thinking. After pouring out the blessings of the gods, he gradually put away the miracles and closed the gate of heaven.

This time the raid was destroyed, Wu Hui also found some traces of the undead lord from the leftovers at the scene, so collecting so much information may really be able to find out the undead lord's lair.

For this reason, when the gate of heaven was about to close, Wu Hui also specially left a message to Zhu Di: "If you encounter similar things next time, you must first report to the God."

After saying that, the gates of heaven were closed, and the miracles in the sky disappeared completely.

However, Judy, the dark witch who was still kneeling on the spot, suddenly burst into tears.

"My, my lord really cares about me! My great lord, I, Judy, have already understood your intentions, and I will definitely repay your expectations for us with greater achievements next time!"

"My lord, please rest assured, we are your daggers in the darkness, we are your flames of evil evolution in the world!"

"Ah, Ah Choo!"

In the Kingdom of God, Wu Hui, who had just withdrawn his divine sense, sneezed again inexplicably.

His heart is always a little chilly, Judy and his group are getting bigger and bigger, there won't be any moths that can't be dealt with in the future, right?

...
