The strong and nauseating smell of blood filled the air, but the hunters who were still operating in the fortress didn't care at all. They had already adapted to such a smell, not to mention that such a hellish scene was still...
Made by them.
"You filthy monsters..."
In a pool of bright red blood, a soldier who was still lingering barely opened his eyes. After trying several times and confirming that he had no ability to move, he cursed in a weak voice. This was the only thing he could do now.
Done.
"You will definitely..."
Poof!
Before the curse with endless resentment could be finished, a sharp blade pierced the heart of the soldier who had survived, ending his life that was as few as a candle in the wind.
"..."
The hunter, who didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, seemed to be touched by his curse and stood there quietly thinking.
"Why aren't you moving? What are you thinking about?"
A slightly harsh scolding sounded, and a hunter covering his face, wearing light armor, and holding two swords came over, staring at his subordinate with a pair of pure white eyes.
"Captain, I'm thinking about what just happened." The hunter, who sounded young, quickly replied. He looked around at the hell scene around him, with a little confusion and even fear in his eyes.
Except for the members of their assassination team who are still active in this area, the rest of the soldiers originally stationed there have turned into corpses. This is what should happen after their assassination team successfully completes its mission.
Moreover, the young hunter also knew that what he saw in his eyes was just a glimpse, and the mission performed by their assassination team was only a less important part of it.
This mission is a large-scale operation to establish a killer force mainly composed of drow elves, and seize the fortress through assassination.
It is different from the conventional hunting of high-level officials, which then leaves the army leaderless and then defeats the enemy. This assassination operation led by Shenting was from top to bottom, from the commander to the soldiers, the entire fortress, including all those responsible for logistics operations.
They are all targets of assassination.
The reason for such crazy actions is mainly because the assassination force established by Shenting is different from the conventional killer group.
Drow are a branch of elves. Compared with orthodox elves, these white-haired and dark-skinned elves are better at assassination and hunting and other dark things, but this does not mean that they are inferior in other aspects.
The physical fitness of elves is naturally extraordinary, and they are a race rich in marksmen. Not all of its members are strong men, but they are not much different. They all possess powers that are incompatible with their appearance.
And this also leads to the fact that even if something goes wrong during the assassination process, the drow hunters can temporarily serve as warriors to complete the task through force.
Therefore, it is completely reasonable to seize the fortress through large-scale assassination at a very small cost. However, such a large-scale operation will inevitably cause some problems.
Whether it is the Shenting hunting force that launches the attack, or the fortress garrison under a certain god responsible for the defense, they have actually been at peace for a long time.
The sudden outbreak of assassination not only made the garrison of the fortress unable to react, but also some of the new hunters who participated in the assassination were slightly uncomfortable.
"Are you sympathizing with our enemies?"
After hearing his subordinate's answer, the captain who came to inquire suddenly became more stern in his eyes.
"No, I'm just a little uncomfortable with it. Although I had heard about it before joining the mission, I didn't expect that we would have such an image in the eyes of these guys."
"That's it? Do you think those who are enemies of us will say a half-kind word about us? Just because of these, you are shaken? Your will is too fragile.
Why didn't I see that you were so sentimental when we were training? If I had known you were this kind of guy, I would have told you to go home and grow mushrooms.
But it’s not too late now, you can write a discharge application when you go back. Of course, you have participated in complete training, so don’t think about living like a civilian, but you can go to the rear and do civilian work."
"No, captain, my will has not wavered. I was just thinking, if our enemies, those high-ranking and stubborn gods, demonize us like this to the creatures in the realm they rule, are we going to
Are you going to kill me like you are doing now?"
"Hey, I didn't see it, but you have some ideas, but unfortunately, we are a hunting force, and we are the sharp knives in His Majesty's hands. And a sharp blade does not need to have its own thoughts."
"I understand, Captain." The hunter, who had a premonition that his future would be stained with blood, lowered his head. Although it was a bit cruel, I believed that as long as he was given some time, he should be able to adapt and become a cruel and cold-blooded qualified hunter.
"What do you understand?"
"We are sharp knives, we are sharp blades. We will stab wherever the superiors tell us to. There is no need to think or feel, as long as we perform the task perfectly."
"Pretty perfect answer. Unfortunately, times have changed. Some big figures above have begun to emphasize personal will and independence, and cannot obliterate the thoughts of soldiers.
So you have to understand why you fight and why you wield the blade in your hand. Only when you understand this can you be a qualified hunter of the Divine Court."
"Yes, Captain!" The young hunter immediately stood up straight, looking like he was listening attentively.
And in this corner of the fortress strewn with corpses, hunters searching for fish that slipped through the net also came in intentionally or unintentionally. The drow who grew up under the education system of the Divine Court all have their own thoughts and concepts.
"As we all know, His Majesty the God King is the most powerful god in this world, and our Divine Court is also the most powerful force. But in addition to us, there are many large and small pantheons established by many gods in this world, and these gods have divided the world, resulting in
The whole world is in constant war and strife.
Now His Majesty the God King has great talents and plans, intending to conquer all the gods, bring all realms in the world under the rule of the Gods, end disputes, and bring peace to the world."
"Eternal peace? Is this war we are fighting just?" The young drow hunter was slightly excited. Although his hands were full of blood and his body was filled with evil spirits that could cure children from crying, he was just.
, nothing he did was wrong.
"Justice? Of course, we are justice, because we are the strongest. You have to remember that once our war is over, peace will inevitably follow, so from now on, when you wave the blade in your hand
, don’t have any more hesitation.”
"I understand." The young hunter was full of energy and swept away his previous confusion. "Our killings are just the pain before peace comes. They are all necessary."
"Well, since you understand these principles, what are you doing here? Why don't you continue searching the battlefield quickly? After solving all the survivors, prepare for the handover. The army from behind will arrive soon.
"
…
"Why don't you take action? The legion guarding this fortress seems to believe in you, and there are quite a lot of devout believers among them! Now that they have all been killed, even their souls have no chance to penetrate into your kingdom of God.
With such a huge loss, aren’t you ready to take action directly?”
"Return to mortals what belongs to mortals, and what belongs to gods to gods. I will not take action against mortal things."
Above the sky, a divine being shining with blue light responded to another being who was sarcastic to him.
"Hahaha, you're laughing so hard. Look at what you are like now. You still don't take action against mortal things? If I hadn't checked your past, I might have believed this.
Hehe, but it's a pity that the task assigned to me by Shenting is you, so before dealing with you, I checked a lot of information and I know your past quite well."
The red divine light shines, and the forbidding super volcanoes are looming in the diffuse divine light. The ferocious, majestic and sacred dragon god is hovering in the sky, exuding his own divine power unscrupulously.
"You're just a coward!"
"Does humiliating a god make you so happy? Don't forget that you and I are the same existence."
The god who had lost hundreds of thousands of believers and had not even received his soul felt extremely aggrieved as he endured the anger that had materialized in his heart.
"Same existence? No, I can't bear it. I'm different from you. At least if someone says something like this in front of me, I will definitely pounce on him immediately."
The ferocious red dragon is entrenched on the largest crater in the shadow of the super volcano group. There is really a super volcano there that will erupt at any time.
"I can't stand this kind of anger."
"..." Being ridiculed by the dragon god in front of him, the weak god was speechless and did not even dare to fight back verbally. He was worried that it would anger the other party.
If the arrogant and violent Dragon God uses force, things will get out of hand.
Weakness is the original sin. Even if the other party is unreasonable and talks nonsense, he can only swallow it silently. Because resistance will cause more serious consequences.
"I said, are you too tolerant? Why bother? The final result has already been determined. Even if a miracle happens, it can't save you.
So, why not choose to end it in a heroic way? In this way, you can leave some face."
The red dragon god still uses verbal provocation to encourage the other party to take action first. Although such behavior is mostly teasing and playful, the gods have their own rules and they also pay attention to the teacher's reputation.
Unless it is the most critical moment, gods generally will not intervene in the war between mortals, because it is too cheap.
