Chapter 12: The Traitor
In the gloomy cellar, when the sound of the mother worm's surrender came from outside the door of the cellar that had been blown open, the three sect exterminators in the cellar were suddenly caught in a dilemma.
"What to do... We... We're going to ......"
"Nope! Don't even think about it! I will never surrender! cough cough cough cough ......"
Grim-faced, Ikovi struggled to his feet, and the intense emotional ups and downs instantly revived his old wounds, which had healed a little.
He coughed violently and struggled on the ground twice, but he didn't have the strength to get up again anyway.
“... Well! Me too! I'd rather die than surrender to the worms! ”
Although Hanan's assistant Midosi was scared to death, she finally gritted her teeth and firmly stated her attitude.
The Topat in her arms was already so angry that she had completely lost all consciousness, and without the "Extermination Priest" as the leader, they were no longer fortunate today.
However, not everyone in this cellar was as death-conscious as they were, and another male weevil-trunked man named Sdur suddenly let out a loud roar and ran in the direction of the cellar door without saying a word!
"Stoor! What are you doing?! ”
"You can't do that! Betrayal of the true God and the Church is punished by God! ”
Midos and Ikovi were shocked, they all knew that this guy named Sdur was a newcomer to the church recently, and before that he was just a scoundrel roaming the streets of Green Screen City, and it seemed that he had been forced to join the church because he had offended someone who shouldn't be offended.
It is inevitable that such a guy is not firm in his beliefs, but the two never thought that this guy would choose to betray them at such a time!
"Less nonsense! You want to die, but you don't want to die with you! ”
Without looking back, Stoll climbed the wooden ladder that connected to the cellar door, shouting "I surrender" to the swarm above him as he sped up his speed.
"This bastard!" Ikovi was trembling with anger at his actions, but his current physical condition simply didn't allow him to clean the portal.
"I'll get him!" Midos let out a low roar and threw down her backpack to catch Steel, who was about to climb to the door of the cellar, but she had just rushed to the bottom of the stairs when two jumping worms pounced at the mouth of the cellar and knocked her to the ground!
"Midosi!" Ikovi, who was half-lying on his side, roared wildly, struggling desperately to get to his feet, and at the same time his right hand reached for the sickle-clawed knife beside him.
However, the mother worm had already detected the situation in this temporary pest extermination stronghold through the two jumping insects that rushed into the cellar, and after making sure that there was no other threat inside, it immediately sent a large swarm of jumping insects to rush into the cellar again.
Ikovi couldn't make a final resistance, and a jumping worm pressed its sharp front claws against his throat just seconds before he was about to reach for his weapon.
"Don't move, or your companions will die."
Shi Shiran, the insect mother, crawled down from the mouth of the cellar, walked in front of him with slender and sharp arthropod legs, and looked down at Ikovi, who had been completely controlled, with the eyes of an ant.
"Worm Demon! You won't be proud for long! Judgment Day is coming! God and the Pope will help us to reclaim our homeland! ”
"Oh? Is it? The mother let out a mocking sneer, and a purple psionic light flashed from the appendage behind her.
Scold!
Not far from Ikovi's side, the sickle-clawed long knife made of the hardest metal in the Giant Continent World was instantly split in half from the middle, and the broken sword body smashed to the ground with a clatter, as if lamenting his fate.
"You will see the truth about what you call 'Judgment Day'... Trust me, you're not going to like that ending......"
"Take them down, and take this guy on the ground with you, help them heal their injuries, but don't let them die, after all, they are the most important audience in the big show in the near future......"
Under the orders of the Mother Worm, the swarm quickly tied up all four Sect Exterminators and transported them out, and after everyone had gone out, the Mother Worm once again ordered the Stinging Snake to use the Explosive Acantha to directly blow up the cellar, and this temporary stronghold of the Sect of Exterminators established in the town of the Makatata Kingdom was completely wiped out.
At the same time, the same thing happened in many places throughout the territory of the Makatata Kingdom.
These temporary bases established by the Exterminator Sect in the city were only safe and hidden by themselves, but in fact they had already been discovered and monitored by the swarm.
These temporary strongholds are used by the cultists of the Insecticidal Sect as temporary settlements, and when their official strongholds are wiped out by the swarm, the remnants of those who have escaped will move to these temporary strongholds to hide temporarily.
Unbeknownst to them, however, these seemingly safe and secluded makeshift strongholds had long since become traps for the biters to watch, waiting for those who escaped to fall into their traps.
However, this time, the Worm Mother Aranoda did not use the same drastic methods used to exterminate the Sect Exterminator strongholds before, and it issued an order for the Worm Mother to lead the team to clear the temporary stronghold and capture the Insect Exterminator Cultists in the stronghold as alive as possible.
It's going to sit in the front row on the "Judgment Day" that the Sect of Exterminators and their "Pope" will soon see how the insect swarm is breaking the world's will for the last struggles and resistances.
And in addition, a large part of these extermination cultists who escaped from the encirclement of the insect swarm are so-called "extermination priests" with spiritual powers, these guys are the core members of the extermination sect, and if you want to know the exact location of that "pope", Aranoda also needs to start from them.
The four people in the cellar were quickly escorted out of the supply warehouse by the swarm, and outside the warehouse, a large group of Makatata Kingdom soldiers had completely surrounded the entire warehouse.
On both sides of the road outside the warehouse, two huge wooden barrels filled with water sat quietly, filled with enough water to completely submerge the cellar that had just begun.
"I'll leave these three guys to you, this guy has drowning, let your Hanan cure him, and then put them in a prison van and take them to a makeshift prison outside Makatata... Don't hide your whereabouts, our troops will follow you secretly and see if they can catch some more small fish and shrimp. ”
Mother Worm motioned to her swarm to hand over the three ordinary Sect Exterminators including Midox to the soldiers of the Makatata Kingdom, and also used them to set a trap again to see if any would-be robbers had crashed into the net themselves.
The other "Exterminator" named Topat is under the personal watch of the Swarm, and he will be transported to a hive outside the city, where he will be interrogated by the infected with the neuroparasitic interrogation of the infected along with other captured "bugs", so that the Swarm can learn more about the Church of Extermination.
Just as the Makatata soldiers were about to load the three ordinary Christians into the prison cart, the weevil-trunked man, who had been the first to surrender, suddenly shouted to the worm mother.
"Worm God Messenger! Worm God Messenger! I have important information to reveal to you! I know the exact location of a hidden exterminator training ground just outside of Green Screen City! Please let me pay for my sin! ”
