Chapter 196 The first step in annexing the covenant of darkness
The dark covenant is in chaos.
When Viscount Bernard was hunted down by the extraordinary, there was no news for half a month. At the same time, when the Green City army was hunting down the people of the Dark Pact, the leaderless Dark Pact fell into unprecedented turmoil and chaos.
middle.
Every day, a large number of Dark Pact gang members are arrested, and their strongholds are destroyed every day.
Even Grote, who had returned to Green City at this time, didn't know how powerful the Dark Pact that Viscount Bernard had been operating in Green City for decades was.
But now the Dark Covenant has become a mess, and no one has stepped forward to lead this behemoth, causing this dark force to become cattle and sheep at the mercy of others.
The power of the Dark Pact is very scattered, including the Evening Bell Church, the Abyss Demon, the Necromancer, the Shadow High Priest Amy, plus Grote, a warrior from the North, and a mysterious man who has never revealed his true identity.
So when Groat returned to Green City and wanted to gather the remaining power of the Dark Pact, he didn't know where to start.
Fortunately, he found a previous stronghold and met several old subordinates.
In the west district of Green City, a dilapidated civilian residence.
Grote looked at the five figures in front of him with a slightly solemn face.
After glancing around, he spoke to the tall and burly 12th-level senior soldier with a beard in the middle.
"Gary, what's going on with the Dark Pact now? Where's Viscount Bernard?"
Garry, who was wearing gray warrior armor and had dark eyes, shook his head and his voice was very rough.
"Lord Groat, the Dark Pact has suffered heavy casualties under the attacks of the Green City army in the past few days, and most of the underground stronghold we established has been destroyed.
At present, there are probably less than 500 members left." Gary said in a very low tone, "There has been no news about the president. The goddess of life is on my side. I hope Lord Viscount Bernard can return safely."
After saying that, he looked at Grote with some confusion in his eyes. The Dark Covenant rescued him from the slum and trained him.
His life is given by the covenant of darkness.
But now that Viscount Bernard is missing, the Dark Covenant is almost facing destruction, the faith he is fighting for is about to collapse, and now he can no longer find his direction.
Grote's eyes flashed with some contemplation, and he recalled Li De's explanation to him in his mind, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly said.
"Gary, although Viscount Bernard is being hunted by an extraordinary mage, we still have to believe that Viscount Bernard can escape."
After finishing speaking, the topic changed, "But what makes me curious is why Viscount Bernard suddenly attacked the city lord's manor? Doesn't Viscount Bernard know about the existence of the extraordinary?"
Gary shook his head, "I can't guess the wisdom of Viscount Bernard. I think there may be deeper considerations."
Even though he said this, the senior soldier was still very confused in his eyes.
Everyone knows that extraordinary beings cannot be offended, but under such circumstances, his boss still wants to offend extraordinary beings, which makes him very puzzled.
Grote shook his head slightly and said solemnly.
"However, Viscount Bernard can definitely notify the Dark Pact gang in advance and let our partners hide to avoid the encirclement and suppression by the Green City army.
But why did Vicomte Bernard do something that he had already prepared for and hide it from our partners?"
Ah? This
The eyes of Gary and the other four people in the room were also full of confusion. For a moment, they couldn't help but look at Grote with wide eyes, wanting to hear his explanation.
"It stands to reason that for such an important matter, even if the president doesn't want to leak the secret, is it difficult to arrange for someone to inform the partners of the Dark Pact to hide after launching the attack?
Goddess, has our respected president really considered us? Does he really care about our lives?"
Murderous and heart-wrenching, Grote's cold words made everyone else in the room look ugly, and the thoughts that arose in their minds were like weeds, wrapping around them crazily.
But no matter how they thought about it, the answer they came to in the end was that Viscount Bernard had never considered the life and death of the other people in the Dark Pact.
Although everyone knows that the lower-level gang members are not valued, it is still difficult to accept it if you think about it seriously at this time.
No one wants to be someone who can be sacrificed at any time, or even abandoned as a worthless abandon.
Grote shook his head, his tone seemed to be in pain, "I am the captain of the guard of Viscount Bernard, and I have followed Viscount Bernard for more than twenty years.
But I have always felt that the Dark Pact is just a tool for the president, and it will be useless after it is used."
There was a bit of emotion on his face.
"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Viscount Bernard may have never cared about the Dark Pact, nor has he cared about our partners who are willing to sacrifice our lives for him."
These words were like a sharp knife inserted into the hearts of several people when Viscount Bernard was missing and the Dark Pact was under siege, and the general gang members were in panic.
Gary shook his head with a pale face, the belief in his heart seemed to be slowly collapsing.
Although he didn't want to admit what Grote said, the fact was right in front of him, and he had to admit it even if he didn't want to.
"No, no, Viscount Bernard may just be entangled by the extraordinary mage. He will definitely not give up on us."
Another member of the Dark Pact had a painful expression on his face and refused to admit the truth.
Grote looked at the blank eyes of several people and continued to put pressure on them.
"Abandon? Yes, in fact when Viscount Bernard chose to leave Green City without making any arrangements, we were already abandoned.
Don’t you all know that our original goal was the Scarlet Mage Tower?
Everyone has been preparing for this for several months, but in the end Viscount Bernard chose to attack the city lord's manor. Doesn't he have time to arrange for the other people in the Dark Pact?"
The voice became colder and colder.
"No, he does. He just doesn't care about the lives of all of us in the Dark Covenant. How many of our lives have been lost because of Viscount Bernard's actions? Two thousand or three thousand??"
In fact, Viscount Bernard did not use ordinary accomplices to participate in this operation. Although he could not say that he cared about these people, he really did not specifically ask them to die.
But this is the fact. Whether it is intentional or not, the Dark Pact is now on the verge of collapse under the encirclement and suppression of the Green City army.
Especially at this critical time point, all the top leaders of the Dark Pact are absent.
Amy, Grote, the captured Stanley, the Necromancer Bones, and the dead Cologne.
These five people accounted for most of the top combat power of the Dark Pact, while the eight-armed snake demon Roy and Viscount Bernard left Green City and their whereabouts are unknown.
The remaining mysterious people seem to not care about the Dark Pact at all, and no one shows up even though the Dark Pact is facing collapse now.
So the current situation is that the Dark Covenant has no leader, and all the people who can speak up are gone. It is strange that it can not be surrounded and collapsed in a mess.
"Lord Groat, what are your thoughts??"
Gary asked with a somewhat trembling tone, and the others also looked at Grote, their eyes full of hope.
Few people who can survive in the underground forces for so many years are really fools. Now that other high-level officials have disappeared, the only one who can afford the Dark Covenant is this powerful Northland warrior in front of him.
Groat's reputation in the Dark Pact is not weak. Instead, he is very respected because of the Northlanders' bold character and strong strength.
So after he pointed out the current predicament of the Dark Covenant, several middle-level members of the Dark Covenant immediately transferred their hopes to him.
A level 16 Northland warrior and a powerful professional can definitely fight for survival space for the Dark Pact.
It is human nature, and even the nature of all life, to cling to the strong.
Grote's eyes were sharp, staring at several people like a hawk.
Say something that makes people instantly change their color.
"Although Viscount Bernard has given up on us, I will not give up on my partners who have fought with me.
I will control the dark covenant and win a way for everyone to survive!"
The tone was strong and powerful, with a firmness that could not be shaken.
No one present was an idiot. Seeing the light in Grote's eyes, they instantly understood the plan of this powerful Northland warrior.
Several people looked at each other, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Seeing this scene, Grote's mouth curled up with an indifferent expression.
"If you don't want to be a member of the New Dark Pact, you can leave on your own."
These words made a few other people in the room a little moved, but no one dared to get up first. People who hang out in the dark world and have no brains will not survive now.
After Groot glanced at several people, he said with a solemn expression, "If you are willing to join the new dark covenant, I promise you in the name of the warriors of the North.
We will become the upstarts of Green City's underground world and control the order of the underground world together."
After speaking, he paused, looked at Gary in the middle and said word by word, "Besides, I never give up on any of my partners unless my head is chopped off by the enemy!"
As soon as these words came out, the room instantly became quiet, and there was an inexplicable emotion brewing in the eyes looking at Grote.
Finally, Gary, a burly warrior, gritted his teeth and stood up, with a ruthless look in his eyes. He stood up and knelt down on one knee towards Grote.
"Lord Groat, Gary is willing to serve you!"
When the others saw this scene, their expressions changed again and again, and finally they looked at each other and knelt down without hesitation.
"Lord Groat, we are willing to serve you."
They were moved by the promise of the Northland warriors. In the underground world, they were nothing more than objects that could be sacrificed at any time, and their lives and wealth never seemed to be taken seriously.
But the tradition of the Northland warriors never giving up on their partners gave them trust, and Groat's high reputation in the Dark Pact also gave them enough confidence.
Grote's expression relaxed slightly, with a hint of deep meaning on his face.
The first step was to finally get out.
The next step is to swallow the entire Dark Covenant.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his sharp eyes like a warrior's blade.
Your Majesty the First Ancestor, next, I will control the dark covenant for you.
