Chapter 117 The Last Hope
The night is coming.
Luoye City gradually fell into silence, and there were almost no people on the streets. Even displaced refugees gathered in some ruined houses. Since Luoye City had a feeding on orcs, more and more strange and terrifying things happened in this city. First, people began to disappear at night, and later, some people in the patrol guards disappeared. These patrol guards are not civilians with no power. They are all advanced professionals, and even some of them are missing. The problem is that some of them are missing is more serious.
The noble council increased its patrol efforts and doubled the number of guards, but strange things still happened from time to time.
Darkness spreads.
Too strong negative emotions can always become the nourishment of evil. It is said that there are fallen people in Luoye City, but this is not the worst news. Even worse news is said to be undead in the sewer of Luoye City.
Corpse Eater
No one knows how ghouls appear, but they do exist in the sewers of the Luoye City.
The breath of darkness is spreading. In this world where the mind is so strong that it can interfere with the reality, many supernatural events occur due to secular reasons.
There has always been such a legend among the people.
That is, if a living starving person has strong obsessions and resentment before his life, then their bodies may become a kind of undead after death.
That's the corpse-eating ghost
Hunger has already begun to spread in Luoye City for a long time. The unrest has caused the price of food to rise rapidly. Now it is close to three times the price. Even at this price, humans are unwilling to sell food, because the orcs have been attacking the caravans near Luoye City. Winter is coming, and the orcs also need more supplies, and they should not be easy to spend this winter.
The legend of the devil is brought up again and again.
The lower class began to believe that the devil had cursed the city, and some even believed that some of the upper class had been bewitched by the devil, so those abominable vampires would ignore their lives and death.
hatred
This is a strong negative emotion and a dark force.
The confrontation between different classes of Luoye City is becoming more and more serious. The conflict is gradually becoming more and more intense, and the crimes are escalating again and again. At this time, as long as there is a little evil force to provoke it, a more terrifying disaster will immediately erupt.
The dead leaf path.
This is a relatively remote area of Luoye City. Nowadays, many people are reluctant to get close to it, and even the patrol guards dare not come over.
The first evil thing happened here.
Someone found the orc corpses, the bones that had been cooked and gnawed in these places. This creepy incident made many people panic and made some knowledgeable people feel sad.
hunger.
The increasingly scarce supplies have begun to erase the human form of some people. Pushing them into the more terrifying abyss of darkness is a very sad thing
There was a strange noise near the sewer.
Then some mice ran out. There were many mice living here. At first, some people fed on these mice, but it didn't take long to kill them.
The body was blue all over. After sending someone to see it, the body was burned out.
Then it became completely deserted.
at this time.
In the extremely dark corner, some twisted black shadows gradually appeared. They crawled out of the sewer, like hunters in the dark night. Moving along the dark corner. There was a faint jumping green fire in the deeper. A long time ago, a group of refugees gathered here, but later all of them disappeared.
A faint scream came from outside the streets, and then the sound of fighting.
Then, there was the sound of footsteps of the patrol guards gathering quickly. It seemed that they had dealt with such a situation, because the army supported it very quickly.
Everything quickly returned to peace.
The news was blocked very well, and ordinary people would never know what was going on here.
"Damn ghoul damn dark creature"
Mark bandaged the wound on his shoulder and then took back his sword. The wound needed to be treated. Otherwise, it would be possible to be infected with corpse poison. He has always been responsible for blocking the news of Kuyedao and defending the attack of ghouls, but he knew very well that this was useless and passive defense could never solve these things. New undeads may appear every day. The well-connected sewers made their plan to clean up monsters. As a knowledgeable man, Mark knew very well that the city was just surviving.
food.
The army was rationed and tightened, and the noble council needed to survive the winter and wait for the arrival of spring.
When the ice and snow block the road, even the only supply lines currently have to be temporarily stopped. After the heavy snow covers the mountain, the material assistance from the elves and the Druids will be difficult to transport them again.
"Burn all the bodies."
Mark glanced at the battlefield. Another comrade died under the ghoul. Those poor lower class people had no power in front of them, but they didn't expect that they would be stronger than many professionals after death.
It's so sad
The hatred and resentment shrouded in the city nourishes these undead. They were originally the products of these negative energy. I heard that there was also a problem in the mass grave. Now the patrol guard's mission is a bit tight. Mark couldn't help but think of everything that happened during the day. As the indigenous people of the fallen leaves, he suddenly began to look forward to the arrival of the Lord. Perhaps only he can save this city that is approaching death.
There have been recent differences within the army.
Pessimism spread within the army, and the inaction of the noble parliament during this period made many officers dissatisfied.
"Maybe we should consider re-taking the team."
When Mark thought of this, he couldn't help but look at his companions around him. If he re-shouldered, he must have enough background.
The other side.
In a broken house in Luoye City, many refugees gathered together.
pray.
The last words left by Ryan made many people understand what they should do. In the past, there was not anyone who prayed like Lord Sauron, the half-elf god, but none of these prayers received any response.
The power of the saint catastrophe is interfering with everything
The power of the gods has long been inferior to before. The power of prayer cannot be transmitted to Sauron. Even in Modo, we need to rely on the temple to collect the power of faith.
Temple statue altar.
These are a central point that gathers the power of faith. Only by relying on their gods can the believers' prayers be sensed when the catastrophe of the saints breaks out.
Luoye City is far enough from Modo City.
The original temple has been abandoned, and the beliefs within the half-elves are relatively scattered. Some believe in the elves and some believe in the human gods. This is why many people did not leave with Sauron at the beginning.
Now.
The gods they believed in could not save themselves, and at this time they began to place their hearts on Sauron.
A simple altar.
Many refugees gathered around, knelt in front of the altar and prayed devoutly. People always believe in the gods when they are on the verge of despair, especially those who have died, who are most devout in their belief in the gods.
A low prayer sounded.
The simple altar gathers these powers of faith, which contains the power of prayer for believers to pass across space and starts to the city of Modo.
A person's prayer is useless.
The weak power of faith could not be sensed by the spirit of God, but when thousands of people began to pray at the same time, the gathering power of faith began to be very amazing. The temporary altar built up almost instantly showed a faint light of divine power. They were praying for help from Sauron, and this power gathered into a torrent, which could even allow the spirit to sense everything that happened in the fallen leaf city.
……………………
Modo City.
Tonight, Sauron could not fall asleep because a huge and complicated faith suddenly broke into his divine inspiration.
Almost in a moment.
He also developed a spiritual connection with more than a dozen believers at the same time. Through this connection, he began to know what happened in Luoye City. The situation was corrupt faster than Soren imagined. The turbulent situation in the outside world made Luoye City more difficult, because the plane barrier of the Saint Calamity was getting weaker and weaker, and the devils could take advantage of it.
A moment
Sauron's thoughts came to the altar, but they did not form any form because it was too exhausting.
In front of me was a dark and bent on my feet.
These poor people were hunched in hunchbacked clothes, pale faces, numb expressions, and the desperate environment made them pin their last hope on Sauron, so the power of faith gathered was also quite amazing
Sauron's eyes passed over them and looked to the other side of Luoye City, where he saw an evil aura shrouded in the darkness of death, a force full of bloody blood.
That's the power of the evil god
Sauron could not determine which evil god it was, but he could be sure that his minions had lurked inside the city.
The decay is full of the stench of death
Even if the body has not arrived, Sauron can easily feel it.
at the same time.
In the most prosperous area of Luoye City, he also vaguely felt the aura of the devil. These devils always like to start corrupting people's hearts from the top, because the class that controls power is often the most likely to corrupt and degenerate, and using them can achieve twice the result with half the effort. In addition, in the vision of the gods, Sauron also vaguely felt some traces left by other existences, but because it was too weak, it was impossible to determine what it was.
"very good"
"All monsters and monsters are here"
"It seems that everyone is ready to get a share of the ruins of Luoye City."
Luoye City has fallen.
There is almost nothing worthwhile here, but there is a wealth that is very amazing for some existences.
That's the soul
