"My Lord, we have prepared the most pious young girl for you to serve you."
cried Anthony, like an excited believer.
Chen Yue and Lin Ju, dressed in gray robes, appeared from behind the statue and knelt down in front of Mu Su. Their faces were delicate and clean, and their eyes were as clear as water. Such women could no longer be seen on earth three years after the apocalypse.
But in front of the statue, the peerless figure with golden light remained indifferent.
Some believers' hearts gradually sank. Could it be that the Lord is not interested in these two girls...
Antony took a step forward, leaned down and appeared to be frightened, but in reality he urged and shouted: "My lord, are you not satisfied with the girl we presented to you?"
Mu Su came back to his senses and looked away from the wide collars of the two people in front of him. He waved his arm lightly, and the golden light in his envious eyes fell on the two women, and it took more than ten seconds to dissipate.
Mu Su smiled lovingly: "Try it, kid."
The two girls didn't seem to recognize their own bodies, and were groping around in disbelief. Then Ringo was the first to react. He jumped two or three meters high with a slight jump and screamed in surprise. He grabbed Anthony and lifted it over his head easily.
This is the second miracle to be performed in the plan after the Appearance.
He appeared in order to let them know that God really exists, and to reward them with divine power in order to make them die.
The two showed off and then knelt down in gratitude: "Thank you, Lord, for the reward!"
Mu Su smiled and nodded: "From now on, you will be my boys."
Chen Yue raised her head and glared at him fiercely.
Mu Su, who said the wrong thing, naturally added: "Her status in the religion is like that of a saint."
"I've seen the Holy Lady!" the believers shouted in cooperation.
The holy light behind Mu Su gradually faded away, leaving only a faint halo standing behind him. On his unparalleled face, his eyebrows slowly wrinkled.
"I feel an evil pervading this city..."
In complete silence, Mu Su performed a one-man show: "I don't have much magical power anymore, so I need to borrow your power. Is anyone willing?"
As if they were asking soliloquies, the believers banged their foreheads on the floor and shouted loudly.
"The dead can enter my divine kingdom, and those who contribute can gain my divine power."
As Mu Su finished speaking, the useless special effects of holy light swayed into the bodies of every believer, making them excited and incomparable power welling up in their hearts.
"Go! Children!" Mu Su raised the oak scepter inlaid with rubies.
The door was opened, hundreds of believers shouted, and rushed towards the noble area amid the panic of pedestrians on the street.
With only a few people left in the church, Mu Su slowly sat down on the ground and muttered to the door in a waning mood: "Purify away the evil..."
The signal flare slowly rose into the sky, reached the top and exploded brightly. Everyone saw the bright signal flare.
In every corner of Hale City, members of the leading believers received the signal and rushed out from their hiding places.
…
armory
A group of soldiers walked out of the barracks and came to the soldiers guarding the gate.
"Let's switch defenses," the captain said.
"The time has not come yet."
At this moment, a flare shot straight into the sky from the civilian area. The soldiers looked up in confusion.
Suddenly they heard the captain say: "It's time."
Tens of seconds later, this group of soldiers pushed open the door and welcomed the believers outside.
City Guards House
The moment the flare appeared, the members hidden around the boss's office rushed into the office and neatly eliminated all the rank-and-file soldiers.
It's a pity that the city guard didn't come today.
military camp
The heads of the officers were at their feet. They stood on the wooden platform and shouted to the hundreds of soldiers below: "Most of you come from the slums. Don't you have to live with it? Do you hear it? This is what the resisters are saying.
Roar. Join us in destroying this rotten city!"
The same scene was played out everywhere. In the planned invasion, Hale City, which had long been rotten from the roots, showed no resistance. There were cries and screams everywhere, and countless poor civilians joined the ranks to fight for it.
In just half an hour, thousands of believers and the residents of Hale City who came to take advantage of the situation surrounded the last city lord's mansion.
The city lord's palace is almost a castle. Behind the moat is a four-meter-high wall with soldiers running above it.
They were bathed in the coveted light, and their eyes revealed the desire to stare at the building.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
A voice came through the loudspeaker and spread across the battlefield.
The owner of that voice appeared on the city wall and appeared in everyone's sight.
Their old acquaintance, the city guard.
Joyce raised the rifle and took aim, then put it down after a while. It was too far away and the range was not enough.
"You are really amazing. Five days? Ten days? I admire you for being able to achieve this in such a short period of time. If you weren't too eager for success, I'm afraid Hale City would really change hands." City Guards Officer
Applaud and praise without hesitation.
Then, he changed his tone: "I want to know where your power and that god... come from?"
The crowd was in a commotion, and no one answered his question.
"Forget it if you don't tell me. I'll ask myself."
After a while, the amplified voice sounded again.
"In order to thank you for making Hale City aware of its shortcomings, I decided to personally send you to hell. In other words, to see your Lord."
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion slowly opened, and the suspension bridge was lowered. Then, there was a sound that made everyone suddenly feel like they were dreaming... tanks rumbled out. Combat helicopters took off from the City Lord's Mansion.
No one could react as the helicopter burst into flames.
The bullets passed through the crowd, and bodies were torn apart wherever they went.
The tank fired and smashed into the crowd with a roar, dust rose, and there was no one within a five-meter radius. Only the blackened crater was left, with internal parts and blood raining down.
The faster they rush, the faster they lose.
"We have no chance, retreat."
Joyce sighed slightly. The battlefield was in chaos. A small number of devout believers rushed forward shouting the Lord of the Morning, while more were believers who stayed in place and were at a loss or fled.
One of the members sent out a flare, and the helicopter that was discovered instantly turned them into pieces.
Even though they were unwilling to give in, the members had no choice but to retreat and escape towards entrance No. 3.
The soldiers from Hale City were chasing after him. Donald's foreshadowing finally came in handy. He eliminated the other garrisoned soldiers and escaped into the cave with everyone.
But the pursuers behind him were gradually approaching.
When he was still two hundred meters away from the exit, Anthony suddenly stopped.
Joyce also stopped and looked at him.
"Let me go! I haven't lost yet! I can still fight!"
Mu Su yelled and was dragged away by Chen Yue, her voice gradually getting away.
"I stayed to stop them," said Anthony.
"They're just a bunch of cowards who don't even dare to leave the house. I can hold you off for half a minute, which is enough for you to leave."
Joyce nodded: "You can be captured, but staying alive is everything."
"I know." Anthony replied.
Joyce left without looking back.
Anthony turned around, his eyes paused slightly at the empty place beside him, and then moved away, calmly staring at the cave where the rapid footsteps came.
