Chapter 23 The people's hearts are lost

After the "Sleeping City Incident", the reputation of the Extermination Sect in the Makatata Kingdom has completely stinked on the streets, and some of the guys who secretly and privately promoted the so-called "teachings" of the Extermination Sect in the past have all disappeared in an instant, and even some exterminators whose identities have been exposed have escaped from the city where they live overnight, hiding in the dangerous mountains and forests to live a savage life.

Some of the cultists who had just joined the Sect of Extermination quickly broke away from the Sect of Exterminators because of this incident, and surrendered to the swarm and the local kingdom patrol army.

Even some veteran members of the Insecticidal Sect, who had been deeply poisoned by the belief in the "True God", began to have strong doubts about their faith, and they did not immediately leave the church, but after fleeing the city, they did not look for the refuge strongholds hidden in the wilderness of the Insecticidal Sect.

The control area of the Extermination Sect began to shrink significantly, and at the same time, under the continuous attack of the "Shadow" troops of the insect swarm, many of the Sect Exterminator strongholds, which were originally located in the northern border of the Makatata Kingdom, were also dug up with the cooperation of local residents.

It was only at this time that the upper echelons of the Sect of Extermination realized that things were starting to get out of control.

Not only did their stupid plan fail to disrupt the Swarm's tactical layout of their training points, but they lost the popular support of their own game, and almost fell apart.

In this case, the "Pope" of the Extermination Sect had to come forward and start "washing the floor" in an attempt to use his perfect personal charm to redeem the decline of the Extermination Sect.

With the help of a group of high-ranking cultists, he disguised himself as a variety of identities and used his psionic powers to deliver various forms of "apologies" and "speeches of faith" to cities where anti-pest activities broke out.

In the process, he repeatedly used the two catastrophes of "Judgment Day" and "Apocalypse" as a shield for the actions of the Sect of Extermination, claiming that if the swarm was not driven out of the world and faith in the true God was established, then the punishment of the true God would destroy everyone.

But the people of Julu, who had already learned his lesson, obviously no longer trusted him, and his series of "washing the floor" not only failed to save the situation of the Sect's reputation for failure, but also exacerbated the antipathy of ordinary people towards them.

At this time, the colony commander of the swarm also gave the final fatal blow to the Insecticidal Cult, claiming that it had handed over the manufacturing technology of a new type of special drug to the "Hanan Academy" of the Makatata Kingdom, which could largely save the lives of those who were seriously injured in the Cult's prison raids.

At the same time, Aranoda also stated that he would give a full two tons of this medicine to the miserable Sleeping City for free, and would also send a swarm army to help the residents of Sleeping City rebuild order and their homes.

This move by the swarm almost immediately destroyed all of the Sect's "floor washing" efforts.

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and the Sect of Exterminators claims to oppose the colonial rule of the "Worm Demons" and wants to "liberate" the giant continent world from the "enslavement" of these "Worm Demons".

However, what they had done before was completely like a group of terrifying cult thugs, and the timely assistance that came from the swarm was more like they were really fulfilling the duties of the "gods".

So... Look at them, look at you guys?

The medicine distributed by the "worm demons" in your mouth has saved a lot of people, and the reason why these saved people need to be saved is not because of the sins you have created?!

Go to the special colonization! Go to the special slavery!

You guys are the ones who really want to enslave us!

Since then, the position of the Julu people in supporting both sides has been completely reversed, and the Sect of Extermination has completely and completely lost the hearts of all its compatriots under a series of operations of the insect swarm.

No new members joined the Exterminator Cult, and the veteran Exterminators who had previously ventured into the forest because they had doubts about their beliefs began to leave the forest one by one and surrender to the nearby Kingdom garrisons or swarm troops.

Even in the prisons where the cultists were held, religious disputes and divisions began to arise among the detainees.

Now those who are still supporting the Sect of Extermination are the only ones who are still hiding in the training ground and the scattered "Exterminators" who use psychic power to disguise their identities.

Faced with this drastic turn of events, the Pope of the Sect of Extermination could no longer continue to hide.

He first manifested himself in a town in the kingdom of Macatata at midnight, and used his unique psionic powers to hypnotize all the townspeople in his sleep and take them all out of town.

This operation allowed him to obtain a large amount of manpower and "soldiers" at one time, but it also exposed his traces of action to the vision of the swarm for the first time.

Although he had carried out a lot of psionic and anti-surveillance cover on the target location before carrying out this "hijacking" operation, a small town was not a training ground, and even with the power of his "empowerment" of the will of the world, it could not be completely covered.

The Overseer Bugs all over the world of the Giant Continent quickly noticed the anomaly of this town, and the Second Fleet moored in the outer space of the Giant Continent World immediately sent a large number of allosaurus troops to follow the vague psionic trail he left behind to track the Ouroboros.

The final result of this pursuit ended with an "accident" causing the other party to flee after being aware.

If the clouds, which should have been thick enough to cover the Xenosaur troops, hadn't suddenly dispersed without warning, the "Pope" of the Sect of Exterminators would have been invited to tea in Aranoda by now.

However, although this guy once again escaped under the cover of the "unexpected tactics" of the will of the world, the swarm did not come out of nothing.

The Overseer has successfully marked the Pope's psionic mark, and has begun to search the entire Giant Continent for the same psionic mark.

A psionic lifeform can hide his appearance, can hide his psionic aura, and even his life characteristics, but it can't hide his psionic signs in any way.

Because this thing comes from the spiritual entity of the living being, that is, the soul, every living being with the spiritual power has a unique psionic sign.

It can only be disguised and cannot be concealed, but the psionic emblem camouflage has no meaning in the perspective of the Overseer Bugs.

Therefore, this personal action of the "Pope" is basically equivalent to handing over his "fingerprints" to the swarm, as long as he dares to show his head from his nest next time, the swarm can easily find him!

And shortly after the Pope's psionic emblem was marked, Abbathhar and the infected worms were able to decipher a way to remove the defenses outside the training site from the Divine Grace Crystal.

This also means that the rebellion group suppression plan of the Giant Continent World Colony is about to reach the final stage.

At the same time, the "Judgment Day" of the will of the world of this world is also coming soon, and it is expected that when that day comes, the Exterminator Sect will use all its strength to fight the swarm in a final desperate fight!
