Passing through the mountains, the Cangqing Sword mercenary group once again came to the territory of the Weisbach family.
Almost all the villages along the way were gone, and large deserted houses could be seen everywhere. Occasionally, they met refugees heading to Mingxing City on the road, and everyone learned that the cause was partly a rat plague and partly a military disaster.
If you encounter extraordinary changes in the village, you will die. In the city, at least there are other extraordinary beings (demigods) to protect you. In addition, the recruiting officers who come to the village are ruthless and violent, and they often draw their swords to recruit young men. It is far worse than in the city. The recruiting officer enforces the law in a civilized manner and speaks nicely...
Therefore, a large number of refugees from the surrounding areas began to migrate towards Mingxing City, which in a sense even accelerated the urbanization process of the Principality of Bavaria - at least this was the analysis of the player forum before the time travel.
In fact, not only the Principality of Bavaria, but as the flames of war continued to spread in the next few years, rural residents in almost all continental countries were forced to migrate to cities (mainly to facilitate centralization to resist the threat of war).
At the same time, as a large number of villages were abandoned, the habitats of extraordinary creatures rapidly expanded, and various mutated copies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Everyone arrived at the ruins of Beta Enrid, which was once a prosperous town and was later completely destroyed by the Lord of Filth's rat plague.
And, it was at this place last time that everyone from Cang Qing Sword worked together to kill the culprit and prevent the disaster from spreading further.
Now, although the rat plague and plague have subsided, the urban residents who have fled have not returned. There is only a group of refugees occupying some blocks, looking over from a distance with blood-stained swords.
This time, Nora and Eleanor were walking on the main plane. The latter's power armor was so majestic that the refugees quickly retreated into the building and fell silent.
"Alas." Eleanor sighed.
"Ellie." Nora once again gave her a psychological hint, which cheered up her original depressed mood.
"I'm fine." Eleanor stared at the ruins in the distance, "I just want to know when this war will end."
"But even if it ends, it will take a long time for this town to be inhabited again." Nora also said with emotion, "At least the original townspeople are probably not willing to return to their hometown where the disaster happened."
"Why are people so fragile?" Eleanor asked another profound question.
"It is precisely because people are fragile that we need to be stronger." Even Asker, who has experienced many battles, cannot answer this philosophical question of life. Naturally, Nora can't resist it, so she can only deal with it casually, He said hurriedly, "Well, it's noon, I have to go back to cook, let Hidrifa come out to change the shift."
She teleported back to Fire Island. Eleanor looked up at the sky, her expression a little wistful.
Asker once told everyone that since entering the R1 monitoring list of the Holy See, the All-Seeing Eye military surveillance satellite overhead has begun to continuously monitor the Cangqing Sword team from 6:00-18:00 every day.
Therefore, there are strict team rules and regulations on which team secrets can be exposed and which ones cannot be used in the open air during the day.
For example, the teleportation on Hearth Island can be exposed, as can the Nine Star Styles and the Unyielding Holy Sword in Extraordinary Swordsmanship.
For another example, the Immortal Phantom Sword cannot be exposed. Paige's meeting with her demigod master Agrippina, and notifying the succubus Malkina to open the portal, these are also not allowed to be known to the Holy See.
As for the reasons and judgment criteria, Aske did not say much because they were too complicated, but just asked everyone to keep them in mind.
However, Eleanor couldn't help but think of another thing: that is to say, when the Lord of Filth attacked here, the Holy See also saw it.
So why didn’t the Holy See send someone to stop him? Didn’t the Holy See have space-based tactical weapons? Why didn’t the Holy See destroy this lord of filth with a space-based missile?
Why did the Holy See, as the light of civilization, just watch the whole process? Why could you watch indifferently from an orbit more than 35,000 kilometers above the surface as countless people died due to rat plagues and plagues?
A tragic disaster occurred, destroying one town after another?
But nothing was done?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt confused, uneasy...and faintly angry.
Sidrifa teleported to her side.
"Come on," she said to Elinor.
"Let's go." Eleanor nodded.
"Ah, that's where we killed the Lord of Filth." Hidrifa looked into the distance and shouted as if she had discovered her old place.
"Hmm." Eleanor didn't want to speak.
"Ah, that's great, I want to become stronger too." Sidrifa sighed with envy, "When can I advance to that level? Just like the Lord of Filth did last time, he has the ability to easily destroy towns and
The great power of the country.”
"Is that really good?" Eleanor couldn't help but question excitedly, "You obviously have such a powerful power, but you have to destroy towns and countries and kill countless people to prove yourself?"
Hidliba stared at her for a moment and smiled: "What are you talking about?"
"What I'm talking about is the power itself, not that after I have the power, I will use it to do this."
"Besides, if it were me who had this power, I would certainly stop people like the Lord of Filth from doing evil, right?"
Eleanor was left speechless by what she said. She was silent for a moment and sighed:
"I went too far, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way."
She walked forward silently, feeling even more depressed. Suddenly, she heard Sidrifa's voice coming from behind her, and it was too low to be like her usual tone:
"Eleanor, there is no distinction between good and evil in power, only the user has it."
"Instead of fearing the power itself, it is better to do everything you can to master it and make everyone fear your power."
"At that time, if you have to carry out justice, won't evil be unable to survive?"
Eleanor turned her head suddenly, and saw Hildrifa smiling, pushing her from behind and urging:
"Let's go, let's go, Ask will come out again later to urge us to go slower."
………………
That evening, everyone finally arrived at Lake Starnberg.
"In short, this is the plan, are there any problems?" Asker asked everyone after explaining the drama's plan to trick people into crying.
"Yes." Eleanor raised her hand in confusion, "What should I do if I fail in the performance?"
"If the performance fails, kill them by force." Asik waved his hand and said calmly, "Fear will also leave tears after being killed. It's just that it has too many ways to escape, so it is usually difficult to be surrounded and killed."
"Everyone, please remember clearly that if you want to choose to kill by force, Terror has several abilities: First, it is invisible and can disappear directly from our sight."
"There are two ways to crack it: spirit and light. The surrounding spirits can rely on their unique perception to detect the location of the invisible terror; and if the light shines on the terror, it will also invalidate his invisibility."
"The second is the mental scream, which causes all spirits within a certain range to be damaged and stunned. There is no good way to resist it. Everyone pays attention to my warnings throughout the process and is ready to stay away from the opponent at any time to reduce the damage."
"The third is fear possession. Its normal attacks have a chance of making the attacked person fall into a depressed and sluggish mood. This kind of emotional transmission will not be restricted by blocking or attack parry. The minds of Nora and Medea
Shielding can protect against such attacks, but mind shielding requires physical contact, which is unrealistic."
"Therefore, once you two discover that someone on the battlefield is emotionally abnormal, you must immediately activate the ability of psychological suggestion and implant happy thoughts into the other person's body."
"Happy thoughts?" Medea asked, "Like?"
"Last Halloween?" Nora suggested, "I remember everyone had a great time."
"Yes, yes." Asik nodded in approval, "In addition, Terror can freely transform between reality and reality without activating its abilities. For example, when it attacks you, it will transform its body into a physical entity.
.”
"When being attacked, he can transform into an incorporeal body, causing physical attacks to only pass through his body and not take effect. He can only kill through the ability of the arcane sequence, or when grabbing it to attack.
Gather the fire.”
"Of course, it would be best if Eleanor's acting skills can pass the test, so that we can get the tears directly without having to fight any more troublesome battles."
"Wait a minute." Eleanor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So the key to this battle is my acting skills?"
"Yes." Aske admitted without hesitation, "It depends on you."
Eleanor:………………
She gave a speechless expression, and then Nora and Mediara went to put on makeup.
