Chapter 23: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Previously, Buel had given him a sacred item after the baptism of the god of steam and machines.
That thing was a life-saving thing given to him by Buel's friend.
As a result, Sauron drew the demonic origin of the Sil Demon from it, and since then he has guessed what the many temples of this world enshrine.
Is it the true God?
Or is it a demon?
Now, he finally saw with his own eyes how church members really became stronger.
It turned out to be by absorbing the negative emotions of human beings such as fear, despair, sadness, hatred, etc.!
This is exactly what the devil craves the most.
The demons are killing indiscriminately in the human world precisely to spread fear and cause turmoil in the entire human world.
Born out of chaos and destruction, they can absorb many negative and evil emotions and transform them into their own power.
"Amazing, it seems that in the future, there will be no more demons that are chaotic and funny, it is clear that the intelligence is so high that it explodes!"
Sauron looked at a group of knights who were becoming more and more fervent in faith, and felt a tingling scalp and a heartfelt awe.
The demons are clearly in the name of faith, driving these believers to wantonly slaughter ordinary people.
As a result, these so-called "cultists" spread fear and other negative forces and harvest them as wheat.
In this way, the Knights of the Church "purified" the infidels, destroyed the source of the dark and evil forces, and restored peace to the world.
No matter how many people they kill, they will not be hostile, and they can absorb many negative forces openly, and any problems will be blamed on the omnipotent god.
On the contrary, it makes ordinary people more fanatical to believe in one god after another, and praise the gods for their greatness and strength.
When there is doubt, the faith is shaken and the new blasphemer is being seen.
will definitely be killed in public, killing chickens and monkeys!
"Naked conspiracy!"
The more Sauron thought about it, the more frightened he became, only to feel that there was a large net that unscrupulously enveloped the whole world.
All of them are little worms in the net, and they can't break free from this bondage at all!
In the small square in front of the temple, thousands of corpses were gathered together.
These knights all possess amazing strength, and can casually throw the corpse of a middle-aged man more than ten meters away with one hand, like throwing a chicken.
The conservative estimate of strength is also more than 16 points!
It was with such incredible strength that just 30 knights slaughtered thousands of people in the entire town.
The townspeople had no power to resist.
Even those hunters who were armed with shotguns and tried to resist in vain were easily killed by them, and they could not even hurt this group of people.
Not to mention, the vast majority of people knelt in front of the temple, without any thought of resisting, like a flock of obedient lambs.
The knights sprinkled a white powder on the pile of corpses and threw flaming torches at them.
The flames were quickly ignited, and all the corpses burned in the flames.
The white flames caused by this white powder were so blazing that even the steel was melted to the sight of Zoro's eyes!
Magic Flame!
In the blink of an eye, thousands of corpses burned and evaporated wildly in the flames, forming a choking scorching smell.
In the firelight, the knights watched the flames burn in silence, and none of them covered their noses or left.
Watch as the flames devour corpses and purify all sins in the white flames.
Some young knights, their bodies trembling slightly.
The wanton slaughter of thousands of people was a terrifying psychological challenge for them.
As if incarnated as a ferocious beast, slaughtering humans brings them a forbidden pleasure.
Causing their whole body and soul to tremble, as if enjoying some kind of incomparable orgasmic experience.
Their silver armor was already stained red with blood, and even their eyes seemed to be dyed red with endless blood.
On the long sword in his hand, blood dripped down the blood groove of the sword body to the ground.
Poof!
As Sauron watched, a young knight fell to his knees and reached out to take off his helmet.
The white flames illuminated its face, and it could be seen that it was an extremely young, even somewhat immature face.
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, he threw away the long sword in his hand, reached out to cover his face, and his body was shaking violently and sobbing and crying.
"Elder Knight, is it really my lord's guidance that we are doing this?"
The voice of a slight cry echoed in the square, causing the knights to be shocked and look at him blankly.
The knight strode over, drew his long sword and pointed it at him, and scolded: "Knight, your faith has been shaken! ”
"These creatures are so driven by dark and evil creatures that they use the sacred temple as a den for filthy vampires! Such a serious act of blasphemy must be punished! ”
The young knight wept bitterly, completely ignoring the other man's threat: "But, my lord, I watched the child cry loudly under my sword, but I slew him with one sword. He's just a five-year-old kid, how can such a young child ......?"
The surrounding knights looked stunned, as if they had woken up from a dream, and finally understood what they had done before.
Thousands of people were slaughtered in such a frenzy, many of them old and young women!
Laugh at!
At this moment, the knight commander swung his sword and slashed down, and the young knight's head was cut off by him on the spot!
Under the shocked gaze of the knights, the knight chief said sharply: "He dares to sympathize with these cultists, he has already received a divine sanction!" ”
"Leave, we need to purify more cultists!"
The knights mounted their mounts and rode away from the town in silence.
Behind them, white flames still burned, devouring all evil.
"What a terrible brainwashing tactic!"
Sauron didn't come out until the sound of the horse's hooves faded away.
Walking up to the decapitated knight, he looked down at the other with pity, "Poor fellow, you have become the chicken that makes an example of the monkey." ”
This order of knights is supposed to be the law enforcement team of the Sun Temple, specially used to cleanse enemies such as cultists and dark creatures.
The young knight was apparently on his first mission with the team, and the tragic slaughter aroused the sympathy in his heart.
If he is allowed to cry, it will definitely shake the faith of more knights, and they will begin to doubt the gods.
Therefore, the knight chief immediately made a decision and simply beheaded him neatly to set an example.
"Poor worm, let me take your soul origin, and I may be able to avenge you in the future."
Airplanes!
He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the corpse of the other party, and the soul origin that had not yet evaporated was clean, and they all converged towards his eyebrows.
"Drain 65 Soul Origins!"
Judging from the number of origins alone, the strength of the other party is far more than those newborn vampires.
It is estimated that he has been trained in the temple since he was a child, and he already has the strength to crush low-level dark creatures, otherwise he would not have been brought out to perform tasks like this.
At this moment, Zoro suddenly felt an endless coldness behind him.
Obviously with his back to the raging flames, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and his body heat was taken away by madness.
He turned around with a shotgun in his hand, only to see the scene around him change dramatically.
"I've entered the dream world!"
A dark red hint appeared in his eyes, and Sauron looked into the distance in shock.
In his sight, a huge and ancient city was emerging from the void little by little!
