Chapter 156 Winter goes and spring comes
Guarding the outskirts of Mira Town, Creed did not act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy. Generally speaking, if a cult wants to develop, it must find a place such as a church or a temple.
There is no way a place like this can be made very hidden, so as long as those kobolds are not stupid, they will not be located in Mira Town. There is a high probability that they will still have another camp in the wild.
Therefore, Creed cannot clear out the town, he must also find the temple behind it and kill them all, otherwise these cultists will soon reappear.
"There have been two cases of dwarfs disappearing, both disappearing alone, which shows that the power of the cultists has not yet developed to a great extent." Creed analyzed.
The entire town of Mira has close to a thousand people, of which seven to eight hundred are kobolds. If they all fell into a cult, all the dwarfs in the town would have died long ago.
With some calculations in mind, Creed turned around and motioned to the Intelligence Department tieflings hiding nearby to take a break.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west, the entire mountain col turned blood red in the setting sun, and the light was blurred, that Creed gave the order to take action.
At this time, all the townspeople have to go home, and there is no entertainment industry here in a remote area, so it is very quiet as soon as it gets dark.
In the town, a strange sound was coming from an inconspicuous house with earthen walls and thatched roof at the corner.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
The voice was very low, as if someone was deliberately lowering it.
However, you can clearly hear the excitement contained in this sound that he wants to suppress but cannot control. He is afraid of being heard, but he can't help but move and doesn't want to stop.
Down.
Inside the house, several kobolds were happily surrounding a dwarf, and one of the kobolds was whipping him hard with a whip.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
The dwarf on the ground looked extremely pitiful. His hands and feet were tied up, and his mouth was tightly gagged with a ball of dirty and smelly cloth.
"uh-huh……"
The dwarf wanted to cry but had no tears. He couldn't even roar, and could only groan under the whippings.
The kobold who was whipping him had a face full of excitement, excitement, and a crazy expression.
"Lord Kurtumak, did you hear this? This beautiful sound..."
Several kobolds chanted prayers in a low voice and muttered words. As believers of the kobold god, abusing and torturing dwarfs is one of the ways to gain attention from the gods.
In the process of abusing dwarfs, kobold believers will gradually become addicted to it, become obsessed with it, and feel pleasure.
This is not because the blood in their bodies is working, but because they themselves are transforming their own spiritual world.
They are letting their souls get closer to their gods, including worldview, right and wrong, philosophical thoughts, personality likes and dislikes, etc. What they are doing now is synchronizing Kurtumak's hatred of dwarfs.
The kobold whipped hard, and for a while, the other kobolds around him couldn't stand it anymore.
"Enough is enough! It's been too long. You've been enjoying yourself for so long. It's time for us to come."
"Yes, yes, change people! Let's knock out the kidnapped dwarf together. We can't just let you, the kobold, enjoy it."
"Keep your voice down, there's a patrol at night."
"What are you afraid of! Those are our kin. If they really see me, I will just pull them all down."
Several kobolds quarreled over who should whip the dwarf second, and the person on the ground was almost in agony.
Less than 1.2 meters tall, he curled up into a ball and shivered, mixed with convulsions. He felt infinite fear in his heart.
He knew that all this was just the beginning, and there would be even more cruel things waiting for him next.
"God of the dwarfs, you caused trouble yourself, why should we bear the consequences..." the dwarf cried silently.
"If you are really our god, please save me..."
"..."
During the seemingly endless whippings, the dwarf's consciousness became more and more chaotic. He did not wait for the god's response. Just before he was about to fall into coma, a figure he had seen before he came here a few years ago suddenly appeared.
passed through his mind.
"Lord Theos, help me..."
"What's going on? Is this guy dead?"
Seeing that the dwarf made no movement, the kobold also realized that something was wrong. The one who was whipped had no reaction, and the whipped soul lost its soul.
"It's all your fault, is it okay now? Don't forget, we still have to take him to the temple and bring him to the priest."
"How can you put the blame on me? You all took action, no one can escape."
While several kobolds were still arguing, a muffled sound exploded from behind them.
"Bang!"
The wooden door, which was not very strong to begin with, fell to the ground, including the door panel and door frame.
When the kobolds turned around, they saw only a few legs wearing shiny black leather boots stepping on the door panel.
"Captain, it seems this is where it is."
"Everyone stop it!"
A young stern voice shook the heads of several kobolds, and when they raised their heads to see their true master, they were filled with ghosts.
Green or red skin, devilish horns, and a very slim-fitting black uniform...
This is the existence that all the people of Osfir Territory are afraid of seeing. They have a small reputation in public, but they are famous in private.
Even though they are extremely remote, these kobolds who have only been incorporated into Osfir in the past three or four years also know their origins.
"Intelligence Ministry...Demon."
Creed frowned. It had been many years since anyone dared to call them these two words - at least openly.
Before he could move, the tiefling team member next to him couldn't help it. He kicked out his booted leg. The kobold who opened his mouth flew out directly, hit the wall and slid down, twitching.
.
"I'm sorry, Captain," the tiefling said.
He knew that lynching was expressly prohibited by Nosher in the Ministry of Intelligence, and he could only go back to the Ministry if he wanted to do so.
Creed shook his head, indicating that it was okay.
It was already very clear at the scene, and the dwarf lying on the ground had already explained everything. These cultists were originally meant to be executed.
With a wave of his hand, his tieflings filed out and captured all the kobolds who had gathered to whip the crowd.
A tightly tied kobold was lifted up by two team members and brought to Creed.
"Take me to your lair."
Creed asked while wiping the dagger in his hand with silk silk imported from the human kingdom.
"You devils, Lord Kurtumak will punish you with divine punishment and destroy you!"
"Don't tell?"
Creed raised his eyebrows, sheathed his dagger, and leaned down to look at the kobold. His eyes were completely different from those of humans, they were light red, and a faint light flashed, and the kobold immediately became unconscious.
"On the mountain..." The kobold seemed to be talking in his sleep.
"Take him with you and let's go. You guys, stay and clean up the scene."
Creed straightened up and solved the problem with a little trick. The strength gap between the kobold and him was too big, and there was no possibility of resistance. But this was okay. If it was stronger, his three-legged cat spell would be useless.
.
This is the bad thing about catching cults. Using death to force them to speak will most likely fail, because these are a group of fanatics who are not afraid of death.
After letting a few team members stay to finish and check on the dwarf's condition, Creed took the remaining people and set off overnight, leaving the town and running towards Mount Mira.
With the guidance of the kobold, they soon entered a hidden mountain path and finally came to the entrance of a cave.
"Who!?"
There are also several kobolds in charge here. They are sitting in front of the fire. One of them seems to be holding a bone spear and looks like a priest.
"It's the Intelligence Department!"
Just like before, they quickly recognized the person coming, but it was already too late.
"Damn it, they were discovered. We will fight with them. Lord Kurtumak's temple is inviolable. The Lord will help us!"
The kobold priest screamed and rushed over with his followers. But even he was only an eighth-level spellcaster.
Facing Level 16 Creed, the outcome will not change in any way.
The figure floated like light smoke. After Creed's figure fell down a few times, all the kobolds fell to the ground. Creed didn't even move.
He looked into the cave and saw that it was paved with various ores and was very narrow. There seemed to be a small statue of a god at the end. Next to it was the skeleton of a dwarf's head.
That was Kurtumak, who looked like a slightly more arrogant kobold.
Creed did not continue to move, as if he was waiting for something. After a while, the statue emitted a dark green light and headed towards the body of the priest on the ground.
To be continued...
