Chapter 59: The Catastrophe of Destruction (2)
Ao Xingfeng, Orton, Marin, Plumton, and Saren were together, and Ao Xingfeng said: "I always feel that things are strange, why do the heretics keep hiding in the city and not fleeing, as if waiting for us to prepare to encircle and suppress them, at first I thought that the members of the Saline Church were the trump cards to stabilize their military hearts, but I haven't seen any trace of the Saline Church until now, so why don't they go out of the city?"
Saren pinched his beard and thought for a moment, then said, "Well, as the Holy Envoy said, I have never seen such a stupid heretic, there must be some unknown conspiracy. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Our lack of intelligence is deadly, and we must find out the true purpose of the heretics before they act. Pronton said.
"Orton, do you remember what happened when we passed through the Broken Mountains?" Ao Xingfeng asked suddenly.
"Well, of course I remember, why did the Holy Envoy ask this suddenly?" Orton asked curiously.
"President Salen, have you ever sent adventurers to the Shattered Mountains, and what is the situation now?" asked Ao Xingfeng, as if he had grasped something.
"Well, but there has been no sound sequence, and then the old man went to visit it himself, but they all disappeared, and the group of stone giants didn't know where to go, and I couldn't find it. Salen said.
"I've heard that the stone giants of the Shattered Mountains have attacked nearby villages, is it true?" asked Ao Xingfeng.
"Yes, but it shouldn't have anything to do with the infidels, right?" said Salen stroking his beard.
"Forget it, let's leave that alone, since the Knight Commander of Prangton has arrived, let's quickly clean up the hidden heretics in the city. Ao Xingfeng shook his head and said to everyone.
This team of adventurers, clerical warriors, city guards, and Templars searched the city mightily, and all the heretics they encountered were vulnerable in front of this team, and it was not until the afternoon that Ao Xingfeng received a prompt that the system mission had been completed.
The city guards returned to their posts, and the adventurers and the papacy came to the church.
Ao Xingfeng, Salen, Orton, Marin, and Planton sat down around a table, Ao Xingfeng was very anxious, until the elimination of the infidels, but there was still no trace of Diamas, but Ao Xingfeng firmly believed that Diamas should still be alive.
"Fortunately, you have been busy all day, Marin, you go and get the reward and give it to the brave adventurers, and those adventurers who are in distress must find their families and give them the full pension. Ao Xingfeng suppressed the impatience in his heart and said.
Marin got up and walked to the treasurer of the church, walked out of the church with a few large sacks, distributed rewards to the adventurers who sat on the ground outside the church, and found out where the dead adventurers lived and whether they had any families.
"Lord Envoy, the old man is here to thank you for the adventurers who died. Saren got up and bowed deeply and said, from ancient times to the present, those adventurers who died in the commission did not get a penny of remuneration, and the pension was also paid by the adventurer's guild more or less a little, Saren saw the families of those adventurers crying bitterly, and his heart was really not a taste, the adventurer's guild is really not how rich, and some branches can't even get a pension, at most they will set up a tombstone for them and that's it, most of the adventurers are a group of young people who love to dream, and they don't have any unique skills, but they are not willing to participate in the war, so they have to work hard to solve problems for their parents and fellow villagersThe standard of living of such a group of young people is really not good, and many adventurers would not even have a problem with three meals a day if they did not rely on the guild's subsidy.
"They are giving their lives for me, and no matter how much they do, they should do it. Ao Xingfeng helped Saren up and said.
After distributing the rewards, the adventurers danced and sang happily, and some looked lonely and sad with the pensions of their comrades, although the rewards were indeed much higher than those of other commissions, but some people were destined to not enjoy them.
Ao Xingfeng and the others ate in the church cafeteria and discussed the purpose of the infidels, although it was said that the infidels had been cleaned up, but if you didn't find out why they refused to leave the city, you always felt a thorn in your heart.
"Could it be that they know that there is some danger outside the city, so they won't go out?" Orton said.
"Orton, have you forgotten? I came in from outside the city, and I didn't see any danger?" said Plumton, taking a sip of his wine.
"Okay—" Orton looked down again and began to think.
"Holy Envoy, I've been wondering if the previous attack on the Golem was really related to the heretics, then could this group of heretics in the city be outcasts who interfered with our vision?" said Salen.
Indeed, this is not impossible. Ao Xingfeng touched his chin and said.
"Are they crazy??" said Salen, who suddenly thought of something, slapped the table in anger and stood up.
At the same time, the earth began to shake, and the magnitude of the shaking became larger, the walls of the church cracked, and the entire inhabitants of Pompeii ran out of their houses, but as the shaking increased, people could not even stand still, so they had to crawl on the ground and remain motionless.
The first to collapse was the city wall of Pompeii, then the city lord's palace and church, and finally the people's houses, under such a natural disaster, human beings are really too small, not only Pompeii, the entire grassland was torn apart by the earthquake, revealing the ravines of the abyss, some poor herdsmen were just above the ravines when the ravines cracked, unfortunately fell down and there were no bones.
The earthquake lasted for a long time, a full twenty minutes, and the poisonous gases buried in the ground drifted out, causing many civilians to die, but the group of orcs left the building before the earthquake and prepared for the measures, to the point that there were no casualties, only the human race was the worst, and they couldn't feel the movement of nature congenitally, and suffered a big loss, until the earthquake began, some of them were cooking, some were sleeping, and they did everything, but they didn't escape from the building.
After the earthquake, people only felt that the sky had collapsed, and the ground of Pompeii was shaken high and low, and some of the ground was abruptly more than ten meters high, and the civilians above crawled on the ground in surprise, looking at the ruins below. In some cases, the ground is several meters deep underground, and Pompeii, which was originally level, becomes potholed, and even if the buildings are restored to their original state, the city will not be able to return to its former state.
As early as a few seconds before the earthquake, Ao Xingfeng and other strong men ordered their subordinates to quickly escape from the church and run to the street, as the long earthquake ended, the pungent smell came from the cracks in the ground, and Ao Xingfeng ordered everyone to quickly cover their mouths with wet handkerchiefs and breathe.
But the other civilians of Pompeii were not so lucky, first buried by the building, and then shrouded in toxic gases, leaving this world in pain, this terrible earthquake completely destroyed all possibilities in Pompeii, and Ao Xingfeng's mission was no fun.
