On the altar at the deepest level of the Dark Trace, the failed products of the transformation experiment were destroyed in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, the man presiding over the ceremony on the altar seemed to have heard something and turned his head in a certain direction. The brows on his thin cheeks were frowned, the corners of his tightly pursed mouth showed no smile, and the deeply sunken eye sockets were like
Dark as the abyss.
After about three or four seconds, there was a burst of rapid and messy footsteps coming from that direction.
The cultists in the South Wind Ring paused their work and looked over with vigilance.
After accurately sensing the natural aura and red robe of the visitor, the two screamers closest to that direction relaxed and made a gesture to the people behind. Those who saw this gesture also breathed a sigh of relief.
Continue holding this gesture high to convey a message to those behind you.
In the Matte Trace, which has a field of vision of only five meters, visual information can only be transmitted piece by piece in this way. While it is quiet and fast, it also covers up some problems.
For example, when they found that the face of the visitor was relatively unfamiliar, the two Howlers who were close to the visitor subconsciously thought that they simply did not know the Embers. After all, the relationship between the Howlers and the Embers was not a friendly one.
, it’s natural that I don’t know him.
However, the Embers behind who should have recognized this stranger accepted the message from the howler in front that "the person coming is a comrade" and relaxed.
Just as he was about to enter the field of vision of the man on the altar, the stranger in red robe knelt down on one knee and whispered in a weak voice: "Your Excellency, Windspeaker! Master Marco is in danger!
The people coming are regular troops from the Principality of Karar! Please send reinforcements immediately!"
The sound was not loud, but just enough for most people to hear. Suddenly, there was deathly silence near the altar.
After a few seconds of silence, a noisy sound broke out at the same time, making the place noisy:
"Your Excellency Wind Whisperer, please allow me to go on an expedition."
"Sir, let us Howlers also go to save Lord Marco!"
"Your Excellency! Please save Master Marco!"
"Your Excellency Wind Whisperer, please make a decision as soon as possible! Master Marco cannot afford to make any mistakes!"
The Howlers and the Embers unanimously set their sights on the altar. People around them continued to gather around, and there were more and more people near the altar.
But generally speaking, these people have the same purpose.
Although Mark was extremely cruel to the clergy, especially the priests of Sivir, he was obviously good to his partners. Otherwise, at times like this, there wouldn't be so many people taking the risk of fighting the "regular army" to ask for help.
.
After almost everyone gathered around, the man standing on the altar raised his right hand with a serious face, signaling silence.
Almost instantly, the noisy sound disappeared.
This kind of discipline is rarely seen in the armies of various countries. Only Bantha, who can completely enforce orders and prohibitions, can compete with the cultists of the South Wind Ring in terms of discipline. This almost terrifying discipline is exactly what the South Wind Ring has to offer.
One of the reasons why countries are afraid of the environment.
The expression was always serious, and the deeply sunken eye sockets were almost invisible. He first raised his hand and emitted a ray of emerald green light to stop the bleeding wound on the visitor's back, and then asked: "What's your name?"
What? How many people are coming? What kind of strength are they?"
"...My name is Pars. As for the people who came...in addition to a half-step gold-level priest, there are also shield dancers of the same level and other people from the Karar Legion. The total number of people is less than ten.
indivual."
The man in red robe lowered his head and said respectfully.
After hearing what he said, the people around him started making noise again. This time they were not worried about Marco's safety, but eager to try.
As long as there are no strong men at the gold level, only ten enemies can be easily eliminated. Only when the people of black iron advance to the highest gold level can they eliminate their physical weaknesses. Before that, even the strongest silver
He may also be defeated by the crowd tactics. This is why everyone is worried about Marco.
Once it is confirmed that the number of enemies is less than one hundred - even if they are also of Silver rank, the people of South Wind Ring are confident that Marco can definitely escape.
As a master who created a new profession, he is almost certain to become a legend as long as he survives.
It's not an accident. Part of it is the blessing of the world, and there are also reasons why these people are truly gifted.
Amidst the commotion of the crowd, the corners of the man's mouth on the altar slowly turned into a stiff arc.
"I understand." He said softly, but the moment his words came out, no one around him dared to speak, so he could pass on the order.
"The enemy is weak and unfamiliar with the environment, so we don't need too many people," Windspeaker said slowly, "To the Embers who are standing behind me now, gather together and go with Pars to chase down the enemy.
Kill the enemy on sight and leave no one behind."
"All the Embers who can see my face will stay and work with the Howlers to destroy the failed products. Those comrades who will go out to hunt down the enemy will not come back for the time being after completing the mission. We will take a step forward after the destruction is completed.
, everyone will meet at Base 19."
The Embers whose names were called put on their hoods excitedly and gathered around the Windspeaker. The other Embers could only shrug their shoulders and get back to work.
Before the Ashes who participated in the battle had gathered together, the Windspeaker lowered his head and joked softly to the man in red robe who was kneeling on the ground: "You are very capable. It would be great if you chose the path of the Howler."
.”
"...Your Excellency, I love you."
The man in red robe seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then responded calmly.
"Then, I can only help you so much," Windspeaker's tone did not change at all, "Give me some good news."
"……yes."
The man in red robe shook for a moment, and then replied in a difficult voice.
As if unable to withstand the pressure from the Windspeakers, he immediately led the Ashes who participated in the battle away from here after gathering them.
"Half of the Ashes are dead, even if you can come back..."
The corners of the man's mouth on the altar curved slightly as he murmured.
——————
Roland had just led the Embers away from the gathering place of the South Wind Ring believers. His back was soaked with cold sweat, and mixed with blood, the red robe on his back was dyed a deeper dark red.
He was scared.
Just now, when he was hit by the light that healed his back injury, the system prompts frightened him.
[You accepted the magical effect: Higgs’ forgiveness. Because you do not believe in Higgs, the healing effect is minimized]
[The injury on your back has healed]
Higgs' forgiveness is a unique divine spell of the South Wind Ring, with a level as high as level seven. This means that a thirty-level howler can only use it once without any equipment. The effect of the divine spell depends on the recipient's ability.
If the faith is firm, for fanatic believers, even if they still have a breath, they can be reborn with full blood. Healing of broken limbs is trivial, and curses issued by the gods of the evil camp can also be removed.
The reason why the Ring of the South Wind is the most dangerous cult, and it is not unreasonable that this name is retained until the end of Lost Christmas. The true god they worship, "Higgs with the Snake in his Eyes", was the same as before being corrupted by the Dusk Species.
He is a saint of the same level as the Master of the Everlasting Sleep. Moreover, he is a relatively good fighter among the Seven Saints. Even all the false gods in the world cannot defeat him.
In the version of Lost Christmas, players have commonly heard of the name Dusk Species, but they don't know how powerful the Dusk Species are before they are called "irresistible" and "absolutely irresistible" natural disasters.
Higgs, the original father of Gaia, taught players a good lesson——
The phantom of a snake raised in Higgs' eyes destroyed a kingdom the moment it arrived after the completion of the Christmas ceremony. However, Higgs and other seven saints joined together and fought to the death for thousands of years before barely repelling the twilight vanguard.
Army. For this reason, the saints paid the price of three fallen and one contaminated. The above explained the world view of the world to the players very well, and served as a warning to those players who dreamed of saving the world.
A bath of cold water.
Don't be fooled by the declaration of human rights - this is not a European medieval magic-turned-technological game, this is a world where the irresistible doomsday is coming. Only by surviving under the invasion of the Twilight Species and the never-ending racial war can we
It is the main color. Roland was also one of the players who had a pool of cold water thrown at him back then, so even though this name only existed in the background and mission narrative, he was deeply impressed.
Just based on these two system prompts, Roland at most suspected that he had been discovered. After all, with his acting skills, even if he was seriously injured, it would not be difficult to show that he was in high spirits after receiving magic. What's more, he didn't
No matter how badly he was injured, his embarrassment was just his disguise.
However, at this time Roland received another reminder:
[Higgs has paid attention to you - he hopes that you can calm down and feel his glory roaring on the earth. 】
reject!
Roland refused without hesitation.
The moment he saw this prompt, Roland knew that he had indeed been discovered. And it was not discovered by the Wind Whisperer, the spokesperson of Higgs, but by the existence of Higgs itself that paid attention to him.
Roland knew how strong the Twilight Species' pollution ability was. Even the polluted Higgs himself inherited considerable pollution ability. Even the Wind Talker, the prince of the wind element, was polluted by Higgs and became his own.
Fanatic believer, Roland has no intention of competing with elemental beings in terms of willpower.
Fortunately, Higgs didn't get angry or anything. In other words, he didn't pay too much attention to Roland, so he wouldn't stalk Roland even if he was rejected. But when Higgs' will came to Roland, Feng
The speaker can definitely feel it.
So at that moment, the Windspeaker already knew that the man wearing the red robe of the Ashes was definitely not an Ashes.
Because the Embers are complete atheists, and their ultimate goal is to realize a godless society; while the Howlers are a powerful sect led by the evil god, with a true source of faith and the protection of their will. These two groups of people originally got together.
It's not easy, and the current relationship is not harmonious.
Higgs will never pay attention to atheistic people. In his opinion, these people are like a group of untouchables who encourage others to occupy the lord's mansion after the lord goes out, but those false gods who usurp the authority of the saint are fundamentally
They are all the same stuff.
Whether it is to pull the gods off their thrones and replace them with themselves, or whether they want to realize human spiritual freedom from the bottom of their hearts - even if Higgs is polluted by Dusk, he can still tell this clearly.
Because of this, when Higgs' will came to Roland, Windtalker had already seen through his disguise and let him go out of his own considerations.
Thinking of this, Roland sneered silently.
Roland could also guess what the Windtalker wanted to do. Seeing that he dared to come to ask for someone, he guessed that Roland must have an ambush. So he used a trick to let half of the Ashes go out with him. If there was an ambush, then
The group of Ashes must have died outside. When Marco comes back, his status in the Ring of South Wind will definitely not be as good as before without so many die-hard loyalists.
And if Roland fails to kill all the Embers outside, Windtalker can also use this matter to make a move and kill several Marco's diehards quickly in the name of rectifying the internal situation.
, he won't be able to get angry when Marco comes back. If those who want to be "rectified" want to resist, the Windspeakers can suppress them openly and even drive the Embers out of the South Wind Ring in advance.
Not only that, the words "No need to rush back" and "We will meet at Base 19" that Windtalker said before were a trap for these Embers who went out to perform missions.
If they obeyed the order, it would be equivalent to cutting the power of the Embers in half. Even if Marco's influence was too high, after all, he was only one person and had no time to separate.
If Marco comes back early, then the Windtalkers will send people to intercept the group of Ashes who are going out. If Marco comes back with half of the Ashes outside, then the Windtalkers will find trouble and kill the Ashes inside.
Kill as many as you can.
This is a real conspiracy.
but……
"I don't want to do what you want."
Roland lowered his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and spoke softly in a voice that only he could hear.
A cunning light flashed in his eyes.

I sent the contract today, and then the post office told me that it would take about a week to send it by registered mail from Shandong to Shanghai...
What speed! If I had known earlier, I would have sent it by express delivery!
The new book will be released on Thursday, and the additional updates will last until Friday, which is two more days. Then it will resume two updates a day on Saturday.
There is no contract yet, and there is no scheduled release yet. The update time every day is very unstable... because the update time mainly depends on when Shixian remembers "Oh, I don't seem to have updated yet" (serious face) Mobile phone users please
