The humble mountain is located southeast of the Holy See, but it is not directly on the straight line between the Demon King's City and the Holy City.
Otherwise, I am afraid that when the First Army goes out to fight, it will have been moved to the top of the mountain.
Li Yue compared the map of the Devil's Route, which was Huntelaar, through a forest, and after solving several groups of forest bandits, he came to the land that originally belonged to the Holy See.
Although the Hunting Kingdom is gone, it does not mean that all thieves and robbers are dead.
Many bandits who originally roamed the borders of the Tas Empire took advantage of the Holy See being crippled by the First Army and came to loot the holy town that was once directly protected by the Holy See.
Therefore, all the way from the forest to here, bandits are very rampant, and there is a vague tendency of gathering more and more.
But Li Yue enjoyed it quite a bit.
Since arriving in Demon King's City, Li Yue has spent most of his time fighting against the sons of demons, the Lords of Authority, and level 8 brave men. The only time he could relax was when he went to the Demon Market with Yingying and Dandan.
I was always afraid that the devil would target the library and my own brain, so my life was tense.
After finally coming to the human world this time, Li Yue was willing to play with the bandits, play with flying swords, engage in gun battles, etc., and change his mind at the same time.
The situation in the Holy City is complicated, and Li Yue must adjust to the best condition, otherwise he will cause chaos to Yingying in the past.
And this was a problem for the bandits who were entrenched nearby - what puzzled them the most was that the businessman's bullets could turn, and with one shot, at least several heads would be blown off.
The way they shouted "Devil's Relic" and then ran away was a lot of fun.
Li Yue also began to fully understand the mood of the monsters in Demon King City who were willing to open the city to play.
After killing more than a dozen gangs of bandits, Li Yue has become very good at shooting guns. He can even use parasitic wires to control bandits and practice shooting moving targets.
After walking for three days, the red mist between heaven and earth gradually became suffocating. However, Li Yue always felt that time passed a little too fast. Many scenery on the road was originally novel, but it did not leave any impression on his heart.
But every time I recall them, those scenes appear again, and the feelings that match them also occupy my mind.
Like jumping for no reason...
Fortunately, he was tired of playing bandits. Li Yue jumped on the horse, picked up the walnuts, and prepared to find a nearby town, feed the horses, and speed to the Holy City.
The magic bag is not Abagon's coin. At best, it can only stuff things into it, and it does not have a good preservation effect - and even if the horse is put in the magic bag, it still needs to eat.
After eating hard meat and weeds for several days, the horse was almost deformed.
What's even more helpless is that the red mist is getting thicker and the water in the stream is also polluted. Every time the horse drinks, he will jump angrily for a while. Li Yue feels that the more robbers go forward, the more bandits there are, which may have something to do with the water.
If this is true, and if this continues, people and animals in the red mist will definitely kill each other to death.
If Redcoat can dispel the red mist, he will definitely gather countless believers...
But who knows if he has already done this somewhere on the border?
Li Yue thought about some things, and finally saw a hazy town standing at the end of the road. The tallest bell tower was five stories high, so the town was quite large.
From the map, this town is called Red Oil Town, which is smaller than the death town of Desler. It is named after it is rich in a specialty called "red oil".
Red oil is used in large quantities to make holy communions for the Holy See, and Red Oil Town has also been blessed by the Holy See as a holy town.
It is said that the bodies of the townspeople who died in Hongyou Town will disappear the next morning, enter the kingdom of heaven, and become the people of God. This is what Li Yue heard in the minds of the bandits on the road.
Not sure whether it is true.
Stepping onto the town road, the air was filled with the smell of blood. Li Yue held down the a little irritable horse and moved forward slowly.
We didn't see any corpses when we entered the town. Maybe the legend is true.
Li Yue also didn't see the small blood cocoon that he had seen in the communication with Jesse. It is estimated that the geographical location of Hongyou Town is not very good, so the townspeople did not become the blood bank or ammunition depot of the First Army.
And going deeper, Li Yue suddenly made a new discovery.
The church in the town was packed with people.
They gathered around a well and prayed honestly to a diamond-shaped icon; the icon emitted soft holy light, opening up a piece of pure land in the red mist, and protecting the people in the church.
Through his distorted eyes, Li Yue also saw that the church cellar was filled with food, red oil and belongings brought by the townspeople.
Obviously, they were well prepared and hid in the church before the red mist of the First Army arrived, thus avoiding the fate of death.
But I don't know how long it can last.
Outside the church, two groups of robbers were confronting each other.
They were at war with each other. They were each holding their necks and stating that the townspeople in the church and the townspeople's food should belong to themselves. The other party was a latecomer and should stay away or die.
The holy light can block the red mist, but it cannot block the swords and gunfire in the hands of the bandits. Everyone in the church is praying devoutly, believing that God can protect them safely.
Their voices told Li Yue that they really thought so.
Just when the two groups of thieves were arguing fiercely and were about to take action at any time, a businessman with dim eyes rode a tall horse and stepped onto the stone road in front of the chapel.
"Good evening, assholes." Li Yue took off his anti-thief hat with one hand and saluted, and took out a double-barreled shotgun with the other hand and fired two shots.
"Do you have clean water?" The two bullets branched off and each circled in a strange arc, passing through the teams of bandits on both sides, blowing out the skulls of each one.
"It seems not." Li Yue looked at the pillars of blood spurting from their necks and shook his head.
"Thank God...for giving me roofs, tiles and safety..." The townspeople in the church prayed louder when they heard the gunshots.
Li Yue dismounted, took back the shotgun, took out his cane and stood in front of the chapel door, outside the holy light: "Good evening, dear friends, I am a businessman passing by. Is there any clean water?"
People in the chapel heard Li Yue's voice and looked outside through the cracks in the windows.
"Dead! They are all dead!"
"Thank God!"
"Praise to faith!"
The prayers in the church reached a new level.
"Can you trade some clean water with me?" Li Yue knocked on the floor tiles at the door with his warty cane, "I am willing to pay the price of a gold coin..."
Li Yue took out a piece of hard meat and transformed it into a gold coin in the mind of the young man at the door.
[We don’t need gold coins, we need food...]
After hearing Li Yue's price increase, the young man at the door was not moved at all.
[Where are the merchants from? Let’s go quickly. Don’t waste fresh food before it’s dawn...]
Li Yue secretly cursed himself for being brainless - these townspeople really didn't need money, and there was no way to eat the gold coins.
"I am willing to pay three pieces of bread in exchange for a bucket of water..." Li Yue handed over three hard pieces of meat and placed them at the door of the church, then limped slowly back to the side of the horse.
There was a well with a gold rim in the chapel. Although Li Yue didn't know what the story was, these townspeople relied on this well to survive today. It was indeed a gift from God.
Seeing the fragrant bread, the name of his lover and child flashed in the young man's mind, and he ran back to ask the mayor.
After a while, the young man came back and asked through the door: "How much bread do you have?"
Li Yue satisfied the townspeople's fantasies with pieces of hard meat, and also fed the big horses.
Listening to the townspeople's heads full of "praising faith" and "thanking God", Li Yue waved his hand, put the horse back into the magic bag, and was about to rush to the holy city at full speed when he suddenly saw the holy light of the small church lighting up.
Becoming as majestic as a torch.
Li Yue was stung by the burst of holy light. He didn't receive any ill intentions, and he didn't know what happened.
Immediately afterwards, the singing of angels echoed in Li Yue's mind.
