Walking out of the familiar and friendly town of Yanan, and stepping into the dense woods outside the town, Hunter couldn't help but think of the previous experience, and the teeth of Haku behind him chattered, which seemed to be similar to his situation.

The leader of the team looked back and glanced at Hunter and Haku with great disdain.

"Actually looked down on by a dog, damn." Hunter cursed, silently reciting the name of the Lord of Light, and his heart suddenly calmed down.

Haku's mood also calmed down.

The team has a total of six people, plus two priests and Taigong, a total of eight people and a dog, each of whom is wearing at least leather armor and holding a simple wooden shield, which can be of great use at critical moments.

Ten minutes after the team walked out, Taigong stopped, screamed a few times, and everyone hurriedly prepared for battle, looking ahead vigilantly.

Hunter stared nervously for a while, found that there was nothing, turned his head to look, everyone looked at the front intently, and immediately scolded: "What are you doing?" What are you doing looking ahead? Have you forgotten what you were taught during training?! ”

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly guarded the surroundings according to their respective positions, and the tense atmosphere eased.

Click, click, click.

The sound of bones rubbing sounded, and a staggering figure appeared in the forest, and Hunter counted them, but there were only a few dozen skeletons, and only a few of them had broken and tattered weapons in their hands, and the team was enough to deal with.

"Wait, wait......" Before he could charge, Haku's voice suddenly sounded, and he turned his head to look, only to see Haku and Ruke holding the emblem engraved with the mark of the Lord of Light, and said loudly: "My lord Tonatiu, you are the Lord of Light, use light to dispel evil, and fire to purify unclean!" ”

At first, there was a little stumbling, but it was smooth to read it, and after reading it, the holy emblems of the two lit up with white light, turning into a circle of light and sweeping over everyone.

Haku calmed down and explained to the crowd, "I have just prayed to my lord for the power to restrain the undead, so you don't have to be afraid of those skeletons, they are no match for you!" ”

Everyone looked at the weapon in their hands in disbelief, the prince over there was already impatiently waiting, and flew out with a roar, knocked down a skeleton in front of him, opened his mouth, and bit the skeleton's skull with a click, the skeleton's body was still shaking, it raised its claws high, slapped it fiercely, and slapped the skeleton's chest into pieces, and the skeleton was completely quiet.

It snorted disdainfully, its mouth opened slightly, and a white mass of positive energy appeared in its mouth, and then flew out of its mouth, hitting the ribs of a skeleton, and blasting the soul fire hidden in the chest of the cunning undead to pieces.

After winning the first battle, Hunter and the others suddenly became much bolder, and then Taigong swept the formation on the side, watching them rush towards the skeleton group, and the blessed weapon could casually break up an undead spirit, and then make up for it to disperse the soul fire in the skull or chest, and the cursed breath and toxins of the undead could not hurt them, so that everyone became more and more courageous.

The battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and Taigong snorted, turned his head and led everyone towards the town.

*

"The number of undead has increased? It seems that this is an opportunity. ”

Shepard, who heard the report, motioned for Hunter and the others to go down and rest, and then compared it with the information provided by Taigong in the psychic connection.

"Someone!" He called in one of the temple guards on duty and ordered, "Go and talk to the mayor and report on our battle this time, and he will understand what to do." ”

The temple guard hurried to deliver the message, and Shepard stopped talking.

It didn't take long for the church's small battle against the undead to spread throughout the town, and it was already obvious that the power of [Tonatiu, the Lord of Light] could restrain the undead, and the morale of the townspeople, who had been distressed by the inability to destroy and resurrect the undead, was greatly boosted, and their faith in the church and the gods skyrocketed, and they were proud of being believers.

Compared with this, other towns or villages that suffer from the undead are different, the march in the central region is difficult, and the villages often depend on the nearby towns to grow, Yanan Town used to have such a relationship with Chuanhuo Town, and when Yanan Town grows, there will naturally be new villages that will develop and attach to Yanan Town.

The news quickly spread from Yanan Town, to the nearby villages, and also to the territory of the Samba Lord, and now, finally someone couldn't sit still.

As soon as dawn came, Mufasa ran to the sanctuary to pray in the morning, and then grabbed Haku, who was preaching beside him, and hurriedly asked, "What about the Pope?" Are you here? ”

Haku, who was interrupted, was good-natured and gave the mayor face very much, he shook his head: "The Pope didn't come today, I don't know where I went." ”

Mu Fasa rubbed his hands in a hurry, and after running out of the sanctuary, he saw Taigong who was playing happily with the children, his eyes lit up, and he ran over to Taigong and asked, "That...... The Pope's pet? Do you know where the Pope is? ”

Taigong glanced at him and continued to play with the children.

Mufasa's heart burned in a hurry, and after thinking about it, he clapped his hands and went to the house next to him and borrowed a piece of jerky: "That, big dog, can you tell me where the Pope is?" ”

Taigong glanced at him, didn't take the jerky, just turned the dog's head in a different direction, looking like he was in a trance.

Mufasa didn't quite understand, and looked in the direction of the Taigong's dog's head, and saw Shepard, who was preaching to the townspeople by the river with the holy woman and the priest.

Leaving aside the prince with a disdainful expression, Mufasa hurriedly ran to Shepard's side, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the priest next to him: "Mr. Mayor, the Pope is preaching to the faithful, please don't disturb." ”

Mufasa said urgently: "I have something very important. ”

The pastor said seriously: "The Pope has said that everything that has nothing to do with God is not important, but apart from God, only believers are the most important. ”

Mufasa lost his temper, and saw that Shepard, who was not affected by the movement on this side in the slightest, had to wait patiently.

In the nameless river, the clear water flows over boulders, over stone piles placed by the townspeople, around the town, and into an unknown distance.

By the river, Shepard, who was a clergyman, smiled at the townspeople in front of him, and said in a gentle tone: "The sun and the moon are the authority of my lord, and my lord will sprinkle the light that removes all evil on us, and this is the grace of my lord." ”

One of the young people in the crowd asked, "But the sun has been shining on us for so many years, so why hasn't anyone told us this before?" ”

Is this a heresy? There was some commotion among the clergy.

Shepard stopped his subordinates' behavior and signaled them to be calm, even in a completely godless modern society, religion can flourish so vigorously, in this world where the true God appears, are you afraid that some people will question it?

He looked at the young man who asked the question and patiently explained, "The fact that no one has told you this is a confirmation of your ignorance. ”

The young man's face turned red when he heard this, and Shepard said calmly: "After the appearance of the world, I was with the sun and the moon, and He sprinkled light on the world, giving us warmth, peace, health, and happiness, but people have always been blinded by ignorance and barbarism, and wisdom cannot shine, so they often have the folly of doubting the power of our Lord. ”

He looked at the townspeople: "The undead are raging precisely because of the ignorance and savagery of human beings, which makes the world angry, so that the dead cannot rest in peace, and the living cannot be at peace. ”

"Therefore my Lord sent down an oracle, and he could not bear to see the good people of the world suffering, but my lord was high in heaven, and could not save the world by himself, so he chose me as the embodiment of his will, and formed a church, and spread the faith, and taught people to believe in our lord, so that he could drive away evil and turn away from harm, and gave great power to destroy the spirits of the dead and protect good faith."

Shepard looked around at the many townspeople who were listening, and asked, "Do you know that there is a true God who can give great power before the glory of my Lord spreads here?" Can it heal wounds and sick, soothe pain, destroy the dead, and shelter the faithful? ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison: "No! ”

Shepard laughed and said, "In that case, when the miracle of the true God comes, should you be sincere and grateful?" Instead of questioning the true God with sophistry and blaspheming the true God like fools? ”

The young man broke out in a cold sweat and said loudly with the others: "If you don't dare, you will believe in our lord Tonateu with a pious heart." ”

Shepard then said happily: "Good, it's such a blessing. ”

After talking for a while, and new townspeople kept coming, Shepard handed over the venue to the priest and the holy women, and he said all the big and empty things, and put them into practice, gossiping with the villagers, soothing the weak hearts, guiding them to pray correctly, and other trivial details.

After walking a few steps, Mufasa greeted him and said respectfully: "His Excellency's sermon is truly shocking, and it is even more devout to the faith of our lord Tonateu. ”

Shepard looked at the beads of sweat on Mufasha's head and said with a smile: "Spreading the glory of my lord and dispelling the doubts of believers is what a servant of the Lord should do. ”

The two chatted for a few more words, and Mufasa finally whispered, "Lord Samba sent someone to send a message, he wants the church to spread in the town of Spreading Fire. ”

Shepard smiled and walked towards the sanctuary with his legs raised, and Mufasa hurriedly followed behind, only to see Shepard not looking back, and said casually: "It seems that the sincerity of the lord is not enough, probably because he has not suffered a loss." ”

He turned his head to look at Mufasa, and then turned back again: "You ask the messenger to go back and tell the lord that if he wants the church to deal with the nearby spirits for him, then officially declare the recognition of our lord's faith in all the territories, and come here in person, come to this sanctuary, and I will perform the initiation ceremony for the lord, otherwise, everything is not to be talked about, I believe that among his lords, there will be devout believers who are willing to welcome the church on behalf of the lord." ”
