In the early morning, the sun is exceptionally warm, shining the earth white and bringing bits and pieces of warmth to this cold world.
In the wild, dewdrops hang on the weeds. The breeze blows gently, making the weeds flutter and the dewdrops slowly drip down.
On this flat land, Adil rode his horse and walked. After reaching a certain place, he couldn't help but raise his head and look into the distance.
"Is this where it is?"
He raised his head, looked around and asked.
"Yes." On Adil's side, Siraya put on a suit of light black leather armor. She was riding a horse with a long sword on her waist, looking like an elite knight.
In just one month, the former bandit leader also changed his appearance. After extensive training by several veterans, he now looks somewhat decent.
He was riding a tall horse, and his rough face looked a little rosy. He still looked a little nervous when he was in front of Adil.
"Lord Baron, if you walk half an hour ahead, you can see the camp where the bandits are."
"Is it just in front?" Adil raised his head and looked into the distance, with a slight frown on his face.
In front of you is a lush forest, with sparse shrubs growing quietly here, blocking most of the person's field of vision and unable to see the distant scenes.
This is an excellent cover. If you are not very familiar with the nearby terrain, you may get lost in it if you walk into this place.
But for Adil, this kind of blocking was naturally useless, and he just looked into the distance silently, looking at the scenery in the distance.
Limited by his current strength and distance, he couldn't see a face in the distance, but he could vaguely see some things.
On a dilapidated depression, some dilapidated buildings stood slowly on it, and in the sky above, a little bit of blood was slowly condensing, condensing into a blood cloud, spreading slowly like a drop of ink seeping into the water, making the entire area
The sky looks a little red.
Looking at this scene, Adil frowned, then without saying anything, he raised the riding crop in his hand and walked forward slowly.
As the distance continues to shrink, the distant scenes continue to be revealed.
When Adil reached the finish line this time, all the followers behind him were stunned.
The place in front of me looked like a village, but there were many fences and mounds of dirt outside, barely surrounding the entire village.
This village is very big. It can be seen that if it is normal, there should be a lot of people here, and the area should be very lively.
But at this moment, the place in front of him has completely turned into a dead place, with pieces of ruins standing on the ground, and a bit of cold atmosphere permeating the surroundings.
On the ground, a little dark black blood was spreading, contaminating the surroundings, making the place look a little scary for a while.
Adil watched this scene quietly.
Compared to the ordinary people around him, he could see much more.
Over the village in front of me, a deep death aura filled the air, and the bloody ghosts in the sky were struggling and wailing. Countless figures were shuttled among them. With the arrival of Adil and others, they seemed to be awakened all of a sudden, and they all looked around.
This way.
Looking at the hideous and terrifying, pale and rotten faces one by one, if an ordinary person saw it, his heart would immediately tremble, and he could not help but have a desire to escape.
Adil just watched calmly, silently looking at the dead faces, looking at the bloody and ferocious figures, without saying a word or expressing anything.
"Sir, there are many corpses inside."
Not long after, Siraya had trotted over, breathing hard, with a slightly frightened expression on her face, as if she had seen some horrific scene: "Inside, inside"
"Huh?" Adier turned around and looked at him, looking at the other person with some doubts in his eyes. He received a wry smile from the other person: "Sir, please go in and take a look for yourself."
Without saying much or paying too much attention to Siraya's performance, Adil nodded lightly, then dismounted alone and walked in along the path opened by Siraya just now.
Walking into it, a cold breath spread instantly, like extremely cold ice cubes melting instantly, and a large amount of cold air spread out, making people shiver involuntarily.
"It's so cold in this place." Siraya couldn't help but shiver and stood behind Adil. She had obviously sweated a lot due to strenuous exercise before, but now she felt cold again.
This wind is not caused by nature, but has another reason.
In a place that only Adil could see, a pair of eyes were opening at this moment, and ferocious faces were revealed. At this moment, they were all looking at the people present coldly.
Standing next to a ghost, Adil could even see that on the face of a ghost, drops of mucus were dripping, and many wounds appeared inexplicably on the face, with worms growing on them, which was eye-catching.
It looked like he could even throw up the overnight meal.
Stepping out of these ghosts, Adil's vitality instinctively bloomed, and a bit of life energy spontaneously sublimated. The breath that suddenly escaped caused some reactions in these ghosts, and they instinctively moved away from Adil's side.
After doing this, he turned around and looked around in the direction of Siraya.
Corpses were displayed around them. Each corpse was wearing shabby clothes. The whole body was penetrated by a huge branch. The wounds on the body were densely packed, which was horrifying to see.
On some of the more completely preserved corpses, Adil could also see some marks of men in black robes, which were mottled with blood and looked like a unique tattoo or a unique ritual.
In the air, an inexplicable energy is still remaining. With the arrival of Adier and others, it seems to be activated. It instinctively rushes towards Adier and others, but is blocked by the life energy of Adier.
disperse.
"It's the night watchman's sacrifice ceremony."
In the crowd, looking at this scene, a man spoke with a trembling body, his face almost full of fear.
The so-called night watchmen are followers of the god of night watch, representing the approach of death and heralding the moment when the night falls.
There are many followers of this god, but most of them are extreme and evil, creating terror in various countries and making countless people fearful.
Ignoring the fearful pursuers behind him, Adil walked around quietly with no expression on his face.
Most of the corpses being sacrificed here were the original bandits in this village, but there were also some passers-by who died in vain.
For example, there is a female corpse in front of Adil, and the corpse of a middle-aged man.
The appearance of the female corpse was miserable. Not only was she completely naked, without any clothes on her body, but it was also torn into pieces with several cracks. On the body, some traces of being ravaged and tortured persisted for a long time, and it seemed that she had suffered extreme injuries before her death.
treatment.
The middle-aged man's body was missing a left arm, another pair of eyes had been gouged out, and even his tongue had been cut off. His face was full of ferocity, with flesh and blood spread out on his face, which was horrifying to watch.
The female corpse is the daughter of the president of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce, and the middle-aged man is the peace officer sent by Tam to negotiate, a simple man born into a minor noble.
Two living beings who usually had their own duties and had families behind them died just because they came to this place. The experiences they encountered before their death were unimaginable.
The cruelty of this scene, the horror and gore of the killings, made the original bandits behind Adil a little frightened, and some even dared not open their eyes.
In a place invisible to ordinary people, the grievances of some deceased people have not disappeared for a long time. They are still permeating the place, seducing each other with some remaining power around them, and forming a small realm faintly.
"God of Night Watch"
Looking at the miserable scene in front of him, Adil had no expression on his face and looked towards a corner as if he was aware of it.
