At this moment, outside the south gate of Storm City, war horses neighed and no one heard a sound.
500 fully armed Shenmu Paladins sat astride their war horses, looking feverishly at the top of the city, where Zhao Xianyu, the god of Shenmu Mountain, was performing miracles.
But there are no majestic gods or soul-stirring magic in the miracles. There are just monotonous pictures.
That's right, these are the five pictures Zhao Xianyu got after four more urgent fortune-tellings.
The first picture is a paper man with an evil smile, the second picture is a snow-capped mountain rising into the sky, and the third picture is a dark swamp.
The fourth screen showed a green plain, and the fifth screen showed five hundred Holy Tree Paladins charging in the wilderness.
It seems ordinary, but it actually predicts the future.
Level 28 divination magic is very powerful.
That's why the 500 Holy Tree Paladins who are about to go into battle are so excited. Well, don't fanatic believers need to think? Don't fanatic believers not think
wrong!
They can fight and die unconditionally for what they think is right, but if they always die unconditionally and unreasonably, they will be cowardly.
Now the gods they believe in can actually predict the future. Maybe they will die, but they hate those alien demons who took away their relatives and friends for no reason!
Fighting is their best response.
"My lord Zhao Xianyu! Wan Sheng!"
"Hoooh!"
The uniform shouts were deafening, and then 500 Holy Tree Paladins set off under the leadership of the Grand Leader of the Knights, the successor to the God of War, and the War Priest Yuus.
Also accompanying the army were 5 hurricane priests, 5 flame priests, and an earth priest, Robin with a Broken Leg.
The goal is clear, and Zhao Xianyu's divination screen has explained everything.
The visitors are paper men, coming from the Snow Peak Pass in the south. They will pass through the Black Swamp and then encounter them on the Wild Boar Plain. What will follow is a life-and-death battle.
Zhang Yang did not go to war with the army. He even hid in the warehouse behind the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith apprentices were already clamoring to join the Shenmu Guards, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
"Sir, don't you need to take action personally or follow up secretly to see what the enemy is up to?"
Zhao Xianyu asked.
"Why are you following me? Watching a gorgeous show and a battle without any suspense? I'm not that bored yet."
Zhang Yang said lightly that he was using mana to build weapons components for himself at the moment, or components for siege crossbows. He had already studied this stuff, and when he was preparing to deal with the orc lord, he exchanged the fragments of hope for the blueprints. .
But I didn’t use it later due to time constraints.
Just take it out now.
"Sir, what do you mean, our Holy Tree Paladin will definitely win? Those are ferocious paper men. You spent so much money to kill them last time."
"Of course, there is no doubt that we will win."
"Let's put it this way, these Shenmu Paladins were originally the most elite guards of the Lord of Storm City. Each of them is as powerful as Song Dachui. And don't forget that they are also heavy armored cavalry. On the plain, 50 of them can The heavy armored cavalry can defeat Wu Yuan, who has three extraordinary attributes."
"And now, they have all obtained level 2 magic and the authority to absorb level 2 divine power. Their weapons and equipment, and their war horses have all been enhanced with divine power. Such combat effectiveness will not be weaker than that of a two-star hero."
"Now there are 500 two-star heroes. Under the leadership of a four-star extraordinary hero, there are 11 masters whose strength is not weaker than the four-star heroes. Tell me what the hell they are. What will lose? For what reason and for what purpose will they lose?"
"If they all lose in this way, it would be better for us to run away as early as possible."
"But-"
"But shit, you are saying that the civilization code of this world has been deciphered 100%, but deciphering is deciphering. Power is something that never changes from its roots. Those invaders killed so many indigenous gods in this world. How can they be relied on? It was just power, relying on deciphering, relying on loopholes, and it took a full fifty years to overthrow all the local gods and then launch the official invasion. Doesn't this explain the problem? "
"In a word, when a civilization is fully invaded by aliens, it does not mean that the swords they produced are not sharp enough, the firearms are not powerful enough, or the body is not strong enough, but that the method used is wrong."
"Turn on invisibility for me!"
After Zhang Yang said coldly, he assembled the last mechanical block with a click, and then carried the eight hundred kilogram siege crossbow out of the blacksmith shop's warehouse. It was time to go fishing.
As for what kind of fish to catch, of course it’s a big fish.
Just as he firmly believes that the Shenmu Holy Knights will win, he also firmly believes that if the enemy comes, they will come quietly, and then wait for an opportunity to kill the new god Zhao Xianyu. Beheading is the solution to the problem. The best way.
As for the reason -
hehe,
Does it count if there are 100+ new fanatic followers in Storm City every hour
Does it count that every day in Storm City adds 50 sacred tree paladins and one sacred tree priest
Storm City is located in a strategic location, with trade routes extending in all directions, and a huge supply of supplies. Does that count
Behind Storm City is the Great Plains, which is rich in products. The population within a radius of 500 miles exceeds one million, and these people will all become followers of Zhao Xianyu in the next few days. Does this reason count
What's more, the two paper figures were killed for no reason a few days ago.
Combining various factors, the sect behind the paper man will naturally know that the god Zhao Xianyu is different from the previous indigenous gods.
In this case, it would be in the best interests of the Paperman Sect to kill him quickly, or at least find out the details of this new god.
Of course, Zhang Yang might have guessed wrong, but what does that matter? Even if the tiger is not sent away this time, sooner or later the paper man's sect will come to assassinate Zhao Xianyu, or force him to...
—
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a light blue sky and a half-dead sun.
The air is still cold, which is the aftermath of the cold fog from the abyss last night.
Outside the city, the bodies of the dead were piled up, doused with kerosene, piled with firewood, and prepared to be burned.
Further away, groups of believers were carrying various supplies like ants. Thanks to last night's great terror and today's great hope, no one cares about their own property anymore, and everything is prioritized with war.
Three hours had passed, and Zhang Yang seemed to have guessed wrong, and nothing happened.
The 500 Shenmu Paladins who went south to the Wild Boar Plains have begun to return. They successfully intercepted five paper men and successfully killed them after paying the price of 34 Shenmu Paladins dying in battle.
All this information was obtained by Zhao Xianyu through level 25 oracles, which enabled him to instantly communicate with believers without any barriers.
"Sir, some believers pray to say goodbye to their loved ones for the last time, do you think?"
Zhao Xianyu suddenly received news.
"Yes, but it can only be separated by two hundred meters. In addition, let the Flame Priest and Hurricane Priest take care of the scene. If there is any abnormality, light the fire directly. Also, pay close attention to yourself, keep in touch with the Divine Tree Knights at all times, and pay attention to the oracle. Variety."
Zhang Yang couldn't be tough on this. After all, there were more than 5,000 dead and more than 5,000 families. He couldn't be too unreasonable.
"Yes, sir, I will be careful."
Soon, bursts of mournful cries came from outside the city. Groups of believers, under the guidance of the Guards, advanced and retreated as orderly as possible. During the whole process, all the priests and Guards were on high alert. It was already The level 37 mountain god Zhao Xianyu was watching from a distance, shrouded in divine power. A god of such strength was actually very powerful, and Zhang Yang could not judge accurately.
He was even curious, how could such a god be defeated? There was nothing he could do anyway.
"Someone is alive!"
Amidst the mournful cries, someone suddenly shouted in surprise, but this surprise instantly turned into panic, because the mountains of corpses suddenly began to crawl up in large areas, as if they were really resurrected.
"Back off, everyone, step back one by one, don't make a mess!"
"Guards, form up!"
"Fire flames!"
"hurricane!"
The incident happened suddenly, but the scene was not chaotic at all. The priests who had been prepared long ago performed their magic spells -
Huh
Where is our magic
A group of people shouted fiercely, and the priests of the hurricane were immediately embarrassed, and then there was a huge panic. Has our Lord abandoned us again
Divine power could not be transmitted, and divine magic could not be released. Facing the rolling tide of corpses, the dozens of high-ranking priests were either dumbfounded or stunned.
"Oracle: Shock!"
An extremely majestic voice suddenly sounded like thunder, resounding in the hearts of all believers at the same time. I don’t know how it was too far away, but at this moment, the dozens of priests who could not sense the divine power or release the divine magic were excited. It's not easy to burst into tears, but the power is back again.
This is the effect of the level 25 oracle. Even if it is blocked or interfered with, it can still forcefully break through.
"Fire flames!"
"hurricane!"
With their divine power, the magical spells they released were very terrifying. Dozens of priests took action at the same time, and in an instant, the zombie tide formed by the corpse transformation was blasted to rubbish!
"Interesting! It's worthy of a fight. No wonder you can kill my two beloved concubines. Who is Zhao Xianyu? Come out and fight!"
A cold voice suddenly sounded. It was not loud, but Zhang Yang felt chills all over his body. As for Zhao Xianyu, he was frightened out of his wits.
But the strange thing is that none of the priests or believers heard the sound, and they didn't even see it. Amidst the billowing fireworks, a paper man in white clothes and a white hat, with a pale face and evil eyes, was none other than Zhao. The one that appears in Salted Fish Divination.
It stood in the middle of the fire, with a strange smile and its eyes that seemed to penetrate everything, making Zhang Yang unable to resist.
"Sir, save me."
Zhao Xianyu's trembling voice also made Zhang Yang break away from the evil scene. Looking again, where were the paper figures in the fire? Everything is empty.
No, the paper man did come, but it was Zhao Xianyu who he found, but he still wasn't found.
Why
Naturally, Zhao Xianyu's own power was strong enough that the paper man could not see through the reality.
"You can't die, hold on, I want to find the body of the paper man, it must be nearby."
Zhang Yang calmed down completely at this moment. He has not been discovered yet, and no one knows about his existence. This is his biggest trump card next.
