Night falls.

Fallen Leaves fell silent, the streets were barely invisible, and even the displaced refugees had gathered in some dilapidated houses. Ever since the appearance of feeding on orcs in Fallen Leaf City, there have been more and more weird and terrifying things happening in the city. First people began to disappear at night, and then even the patrol guards disappeared, these patrol guards are not helpless civilians, they are all advanced professionals, and even they have people missing is a serious problem.

The Council of Nobles has increased its patrols and doubled the number of guards, but strange things still happen from time to time.

Darkness is spreading.

Too strong negative emotions can always become nourishment for evil, and it is said that there are fallen people in Fallen Leaf City, but this is not the worst news, and even worse news is that there are undead in the sewers of Fallen Leaf City.

- Ghoul!

No one knows how ghouls appeared, but they do exist in the sewers of Fallen Leaf City.

The aura of darkness and corruption is spreading, and in this world where the mind is strong enough to interfere with reality, many supernatural events have occurred for mundane reasons.

There has always been such a legend among the people.

That is, if a person who starves to death has strong obsessions and resentments before death, then their corpse may become a kind of undead spirit after death.

That's the ghoul!

Hunger has been spreading in Fallen Leaf City for a long time, and the turmoil has caused the price of food to rise rapidly, and now it is close to three times the price, and even at this price, humans are reluctant to sell food, because the orcs have been attacking the caravans near Fallen Leaf City. Winter is coming, and the orcs also need more supplies, and they shouldn't have a good time this winter.

The legend of the devil is told again and again.

The lower classes of the population began to believe that the devil had cursed the city, and some even believed that the upper class nobles had been bewitched by the devil. That's why those hateful vampires don't care if they live or die.

Hate!

It is a strong negative emotion and a dark force.

The antagonism between the different classes in Fallen Leaf City is becoming more and more serious, the conflict is gradually becoming more and more intense, and the crime incident escalates again and again, and at this time, the slightest evil force provokes it, and immediately erupts into more terrible disasters.

Dead Leaf Road.

This is a relatively remote area of Fallen Leaf City, and many people are reluctant to approach it now, even the patrol guards dare not come over.

This is where the first evil things happened.

The horrific discovery of orc corpses, boiled and gnawed bones, has alarmed many. It makes some people of insight feel sad.

Hunger.

It is a very sad thing that the increasingly scarce supplies have begun to wear away the human form of some people, pushing them into an even more terrible abyss of darkness!

There was an eerie noise near the sewer.

Then some rats came out, and for some reason there were a lot of rats living here, and at first some people fed on them, but it didn't take long for them to be poisoned.

The corpse was all blue, and after someone from Deciduous City saw it, they burned all the corpses.

Then it was completely deserted.

At this time.

In the darker corners, some distorted black shadows gradually appeared. They crawled out of the sewers, like hunters in the night, making their way through dark corners. Deeper, there was a faint green glow of a dancing fire, where a group of refugees had gathered a long time ago. But then all of them disappeared.

Faint screams came from a few streets away, followed by the sounds of battle.

Then came the footsteps of the patrol guards quickly assembled, and it seemed that this was not the first time they had dealt with such a situation. Because the speed of army support is quite fast!

Everything quickly calmed down.

The news is well blocked, and ordinary people will never know what is going on here.

"Damn ghouls! Damn dark creatures! ”

Mark bandaged the wound on his shoulder, then withdrew his sword. This wound needs to be taken care of, or there is a risk of being infected with corpse poison. He'd been in charge of blocking the news of the Dead Leaf Road to the outside world, and he had also been responsible for defending against ghoul attacks, but he knew very well that it was useless to do so, and passive defense would never solve these things. With the prospect of new undead appearing every day, and the sewers frustrating their plans to try to clean up the monsters, Mark is well aware that the city is just surviving.

Food.

The army was also rationed and the noble council needed to survive the winter and wait for the arrival of spring.

When the snow and ice block the roads, even the few supply lines that are currently there may have to be temporarily stopped, and it will be difficult for supplies from the elves and druids to come in after the snow closes the mountain.

"Burn all the bodies."

Mark glanced at the battlefield, and another comrade-in-arms died at the hands of ghouls, those poor low-class people had no strength in life, but they didn't expect to be stronger than many professionals after death.

It's so sad!

The hatred and resentment that shrouded the city nourished these undead, they were originally the product of these negative energies, and I heard that there was a problem on the side of the mass grave, and now the patrol guard's task is a little tight. Mark couldn't help but think of what had happened during the day, as a native of Fallen Leaf City, he suddenly began to look forward to the arrival of the Excellency, maybe only he could save the city that was getting closer to death.

There have been recent divisions within the army.

Pessimism spread within the army, and the inaction of the Council of Nobles during this period displeased many of the officer class.

"Maybe it's time to think about getting back on the side."

Mark couldn't help but look at his companions when he thought of this, if he was to stand in line again, he had to have enough foundation.

The other side.

In a dilapidated house in Fallen Leaves, many refugees gathered.

Prayer.

Ryan's last words made many people understand what they should do. It is not that no one has prayed in the past like Lord Sauron, the god of half-elves, but none of these prayers have been answered.

The power of the Sage Havoc is interfering with everything!

The power of the gods has long been inferior to what it used to be, and the power of prayer cannot reach Sauron, and even in the city of Mordo, it is necessary to rely on the temple to collect the power of faith.

Temples, statues, altars.

These are the pivotal points of the power of faith, and only by relying on them can the gods sense the prayers of the faithful in the event of the outbreak of the Holy One's catastrophe.

Fallen Leaf City is far enough away from Mordor City.

The original temple has been abandoned, and the beliefs within the half-elves are relatively scattered, and some believe in the elven gods. Some of them believe in human gods, which is why many people did not follow Sauron in the first place.

Right now.

The gods they believed in could not save themselves, and it was only then that they began to put their hearts and minds on Sauron.

A humble altar.

Thousands of refugees gathered around, kneeling down at the altar and praying devoutly, and people who were willing to believe in the gods when they were on the verge of despair, especially before they died, were most devout in their belief in the gods.

A low prayer sounded.

The humble altar gathers the power of these beliefs, which contains the power of the believer's prayer to begin to transmit across space to the city of Mordo.

A person's prayer is useless.

It was impossible for the faint power of faith to be matched by the divine spirit, but when thousands of people began to pray at the same time, the converging power of faith began to be very amazing, and the makeshift altar appeared almost instantly with a faint radiance of divine power. They were praying to Sauron for help. This power converges into a torrent, and it can even make the gods react to everything that happens in Fallen Leaf City!

………………

Mordo City.

Sauron couldn't sleep tonight because a vast and mixed stream of faith suddenly broke into his divine spirit.

Almost in an instant.

He had a spiritual connection with more than a dozen believers at the same time, and through this connection, he began to know everything that happened in Fallen Leaf City. The situation deteriorated faster than Sauron had imagined, and the turmoil in the outside world made Fallen Leaf City even more difficult, as the Sage's Shoah's increasingly weak dimensional barrier also gave the devils an opportunity to take advantage of.

Moment!

Sauron's thoughts descended on the altar, but it didn't take any form, because it was too much of a drain.

In front of him was a black crowd of believers kneeling at their feet.

These poor people were poorly dressed. The face is yellow and thin, the expression is numb, and the desperate environment makes them pin their last hope on Sauron's body, so the power of faith gathered is also quite amazing!

Sauron's gaze crossed them to the other side of Deciduous City. Over there he saw an aura of evil enveloping him, a force full of death, darkness, and blood.

That's the power of the evil gods!

Sauron couldn't be sure which god it was, but he was certain that his minions were lurking within the city.

The rotten stench of death!

Even if the body didn't arrive, Sauron could easily feel it.

Meantime.

In the most prosperous area of Fallen Leaf City. He also vaguely felt the breath of the devils, who always like to corrupt people's hearts from the top, because the classes that control power are often the most corrupt and degenerate. And use them to do more with less. In addition, in the vision of the gods, Sauron also vaguely felt some traces left by other beings, but they were too faint to be sure what they were.

"Good!"

"All the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are here!"

"Looks like they're all ready to get a piece of the ruins of Fallen Leaf City!"

Deciduous City has fallen.

There's hardly much value here, but there's also a wealth here that is amazing for some existence!

That is—the soul!!
