Heart of Empire

Chapter 22: Worshipers of Cthulhu

Views:

Earlier, Dane was in the Ghost Knife Port camp, helping with the construction of the camp. Suddenly, I saw a signal flare flying in the distance, which was in the direction of Golobo's outpost.

The signal flares of the Horror Mercenary Group have two specifications, one is for help, and the other is for warning.

The meaning of asking for help is: I have enemies here, the number is not too many, and I can't eat it by myself, so I can get it done with a little help.

The meaning of the warning is: a large number of enemies are passing me to your side, I can't handle it, you can figure it out yourself!

At that time, he saw the signal flare sent by Golobo, and rushed over without hesitation with a whole squadron. Twenty minutes away, he ran into a group of twenty or so faceless men who were on the way. Without saying much, Dane roared and took the lead in charging. Golobo, who followed all the way behind, also took the opportunity to lead people to kill him from behind. Under the attack from both sides, he had a big advantage in numbers, and quickly wiped out the Faceless Team.

This kind of monster, which has never been heard of on the mainland, is actually not easy to deal with. They are very strong. Although they are unarmed and have no armor on their bodies, those two thick tentacles are a headache. Once entangled by their tentacles, it becomes very difficult to break free. In Dane's team, there was a mercenary whose neck was entangled accidentally. Although he was rescued immediately, the human mercenary's neck was broken in just an instant.

This discovery made Dane frowned. If the fear ghost's mercenaries compete with this monster one-on-one, they may not be sure of winning, and they may even face certain disadvantages.

He personally beheaded a corpse of a faceless man. However, this was just an action to vent his anger, but it gave him an unexpected harvest.

In his field of vision, a prompt box suddenly popped up: "You have obtained the 'Head of Cthulhu Worshiper', sacrifice it to the gods, and you will get unknown rewards."

"Worshiper of Cthulhu? Is it the name of this monster?" Dane frowned and thought. At the same time, he was also surprised by the prompt box that popped up.

He has tried countless times to summon the game interface of "Dynasty Heart" in the real world, but he has not succeeded even once. There is only one way for him to see the game interface, and that is to find a safe place, close his eyes, and imagine that he is sitting on that chair in the Empire Tower, and then, when he opens his eyes, his mind will appear In the tower of the empire, the game interface will naturally appear in front of you.

But in the real world, he couldn't summon the game interface, and even anything related to Dynasty Heart never appeared. And this reminder is the only one.

This made him quite interested in the head of the so-called 'Krusu admirer' he was holding in his hand. Obviously, this must be something very important, otherwise, "Heart of Dynasty", which has never shown itself in reality, would not suddenly pop up such a prompt.

It's just that Dane doesn't understand what the so-called sacrifice means.

Sacrifice, generally speaking, is a religious term. But... hell, Dane himself has never believed in any gods, religion has half a dime to do with him

The Orodic world is a world where gods exist. The most obvious manifestation is that among the complicated religious factions on the mainland, most of them claim to believe in the true god, and almost most of the slightly larger religions will show signs of gods appearing from time to time. Moreover, there are many, many people who claim that they have listened to the teachings of the gods.

But Dane is an unbeliever. Although, almost every religion is promoting that believers will return to the kingdom of gods after death, and every believer has his due destination. As for the unbelievers, there is no kingdom of God to go to after death, so they will be taken to paste the wall—nailed to the wall of the unbelievers, and they will never be reborn until their souls fly away.

Dane was actually quite afraid. Although this was a legend, he was really afraid that his soul would be used to paste the wall after his death. However, there is no need to rush this thing. Before he chooses what kind of god he wants to believe in, he doesn't intend to make a decision so quickly—anyway, he still has a long, long time to live. If it doesn't work, when you're about to die, it's no big deal to just find a god and be his pan-believer.

The question then arises: as an unbelievers, to whom is he going to sacrifice this head? Moreover, the reminder of the sacrifice was sent by the game system of "Dynasty Heart". Can he sacrifice to the gods of Orodik casually

There is no way to solve this problem for the time being, but there is no doubt that the head of this monster is very important. So, Dane issued an order: "Cut off the heads of this monster, and we will take these things back as trophies! Hmph, I want to see how many faceless men there are on this island that we can kill!" !"

Everyone shouted yes, so Dane and his men dragged the heads of the faceless men strung together with tentacles and returned to Ghost Knife Port.

In the next two days, Dane harvested a total of more than thirty heads of faceless men. This means that more than 30 monsters named "Cthulhu Worshipers" by the "Dynasty Heart" system died at the hands of the horror mercenaries.

Dane didn't know if the tribe of the faceless men had found himself and others, he hoped not, and it seemed that they hadn't. Dane issued a death order. Once traces of faceless men were found around Ghost Knife Port, no matter how hard he tried, he must kill all faceless men found. And Golobo, who was in charge of guarding the outpost, was also asked to kill every Faceless Man who approached from the east. If he was not sure of killing them all, then he should not do anything, just send out a signal and wait for help.

All in all, just one strategy: Anyone who sees us must die.

This strategy allowed Dane and others to hide their traces to a great extent. The faceless settlement is obviously not particularly well organized. Even after losing more than 30 people in a row, they still haven't noticed anything abnormal. This is not unbelievable. On the deserted island of Comilla, the Faceless Ones have no enemies. They often come in groups of a few or a dozen, and leave the settlement to wander around. It is nothing to wander around for ten days and a half months. Great thing. Their loose organization also gave Dane a lot of advantage.

But this matter will not last long. No matter how slow the reaction of those faceless people is, in the case of continuous loss of population—and in the same area—, as long as they have a little wisdom in their brains, they will realize the seriousness of the problem. Dane never expected that he would be able to hide under the noses of these faceless people for a long time. All he wanted was to delay the discovery as long as possible. He needs time to build the two territories. As long as his construction work is initially completed, then these monsters will not be taken seriously by him!

As for the system prompts about Cthulhu worshipers and sacrifices, he remembered them in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to them for the time being. What he needs to be more concerned about now is the already built Divine Guidance Tree Tower and the first batch of elves that were extradited from the Divine Guidance Tree Tower.

After receiving the message from Sacco, Dane was already out of his mind. He ordered Golobo and Delin to guard Ghost Knife Port, and set foot on the journey to Aurinadu by himself.

After walking for almost half a day, the Tree of Life Aurinadu, which he hadn't seen for two days but which made him feel like he hadn't seen him for a long time, appeared within his field of vision. Not far away, Shaco led a dozen mercenaries and six elves, waiting for him standing on the edge of the grass.
