377 believers
When the caravan was about to reach the outer gates, it was forced to stop again.
"What's going on?"
Lina, who was following the middle truck, frowned, and for the first time she began to doubt her own judgment, maybe they shouldn't have taken on this task, otherwise how could they have encountered two unlucky things in a row in the morning?
"Leader, there is a group of believers preaching ahead."
Sylvie at the front of the caravan shouted, and Lina's brow furrowed even tighter, Believer? It can't be those guys, right?
"Go up and have a look."
Lina greeted and walked forward with Anna and Carl, who squeezed through the crowd with his height and strength, and Lina suddenly saw three figures she least wanted to see - the followers of Milak.
The three believers did nothing else, but stood in a triangle in place, facing in three directions, chanting aloud unintelligible hymns, but it was this strange behavior that attracted a large number of onlookers who ate melons.
"What should I do?"
Carl asked on the side, these believers are naturally hostile in the game, and although they now know that these believers will not attack them for no reason, looking at the familiar yellow robe and bone mask, the nervousness in his heart is inevitable.
yes, what to do?
Lina also asked herself in her heart, but before she could think of an answer, the same voice sounded in the minds of Lina, Anna, and Carl at the same time, which suddenly made the three of them change their faces:
"Psychic Invasion Detected, Danger Level: A!!"
"Warning! This threat is too dangerous for the system to be fully shielded! Players are requested to evacuate this area as soon as possible! Players are requested to evacuate this area as soon as possible! Please ......"
"Damn, what's the situation?"
The continuous sound of the alarm made Carl a little irritable, he scolded angrily, but found that the eyes of the people around him began to drift, especially the group of people in the innermost circle, who had involuntarily moved closer to the believers, and under the guidance of those believers, they changed into robes like believers!
And just when Lina and the others were stunned, more than a dozen people approached the believers, and the original group of believers with only three people suddenly increased to the size of more than thirty people, and the sound of chanting hymns suddenly became more than ten times louder!
This is, the people on the periphery finally noticed that something was wrong, and a group of people pushed and shoved backwards, but there were still many people who just retreated halfway, their eyes became sloppy, and the retreating body involuntarily stopped, but walked towards the believers.
"Let's go!"
Lina pulled off the arms of the two companions, and the three of them retreated at the same time, and Karl also grabbed the little Bolton and Sylvie with blank eyes, and the three of them retreated for nearly a hundred meters in a row, until they retreated to the vicinity of the caravan, and the alarm in their heads stopped.
However, before Lina and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, the alarm in their minds sounded again, but it was those "believers" who gathered more and more, chanting louder and louder, and the scope of spiritual invasion was constantly expanding.
"Uncle Huck, quickly let your people retreat, there are people in front of you who are casting spells to demagogue!"
"What...... Good! ”
Old Huck only hesitated for a moment, and then responded, thanks to Harvey's disturbance in the morning, so that Old Huck regarded Lina as a "big man", and the obedience engraved in his bones for decades made Old Huck choose to follow Lina's advice in an instant.
However, the careful Lina still found that several young men in the team had disappeared, probably because they had been affected by spiritual invasion when they went to see the excitement just now, and now they are afraid that they have become Milak's believers.
However, the spiritual invasion spread much faster than they thought, and the power was much greater, the frontmost coachman was still pulling the reins to turn the pack horse, but his eyes had become blurred, Lina hurriedly made a few gestures to Carl, who nodded and jumped into the carriage, lifted the coachman's collar, and threw the coachman backwards, and then took out his short knife to cut the rope between the pack horse and the wagon, and fled backwards on the pack horse.
At the same time, Lina and Anna followed Karl's example, mounted the pack horses of the second and third wagons, cut the ropes and fled to the rear, and on the way, Lina pulled the sober coachman onto the pack horse, and Anna also dragged old Huck onto the pack horse, and withdrew away from the believers.
Fortunately, the streets of the outer city were very wide, and even Lina and a few people were not afraid of colliding with other pedestrians when they galloped wildly, and several people took out a distance of thousands of kilometers before stopping, and after meeting the rest of the caravan, they set off again and rushed in the direction of Xueman City.
At this time, the riot caused by the believers had spread, and the believers who had expanded to hundreds of people no longer stayed in place and chanted, but dozens of people in a team, spreading in different directions, chanting hymns in a unique rhythm as they walked, and along the road, residents who did not know what was going on were bewitched, and walked out of their homes with blank eyes and joined the ranks of believers, while more residents escaped from the room first, like sheep, driven by the retreat of the believers and rushed towards the snowy city.
And as the team continued to advance, the number of believers also swelled like a snowball, and after reaching a certain size, it was divided into several teams again, and spread in different directions again, like a huge spider web, with the first three believers as the center, constantly growing, splitting, and spreading outward, and finally, the scope of "occupation" became larger and larger, from the initial intersection, to several streets, a few blocks, and finally occupied half of the outer city.
When the procession of believers had "occupied" half of the outer city, the first three believers stopped chanting, formed a triangle facing inward, knelt on the ground and set up some kind of altar, surrounded by hundreds of "new believers" dressed in khaki robes, like an earthy yellow wall to protect them.
These new believers also changed the content of the chanting, and the unincomprehensible recitation no longer had the power of demagogy, but turned into a trace of black energy, gathering around the new believers, these black energies were like silk mist, more and more, denser and denser, and finally condensed into a hemispherical black shield, protecting all believers.
Such a large-scale "procession" naturally attracted the attention of the city guards, but when the city guards on duty were ready to step forward to stop these "marching" people, they were affected by the spiritual invasion, and before they walked in front of those people, their eyes began to become distracted, and after walking in front of the procession, they turned around and followed the team to "join" the "procession".
After realizing that the situation was serious, Xueman's garrison commander Kaius hurriedly mobilized 2,000 regular troops, but before he could leave the urn city, he was stopped by one person.
