Chapter 463: Opening the Bow (Three Watches)
When Lu Ping'an and his party were still camping and fighting monsters on the outskirts of the forest, the real owner of the tomb was also handling his own work.
Those damned outsiders! Blasphemy, how dare you die in this temple, blaspheme the rites of our lord's resurrection."
Fanatical believers, angry at the defilement suffered by the temple of their master.
Catherine's guess was not wrong, no matter what the truth was, the beast god cultists who had come to this point could not stop.
The ground was covered with blood, and a group of hapless thieves had met the real masters of the place, and one by one they had hung on the farm tools such as dung forks and hoes, if the hoe with its own "Death Spirit" was also a farm tool.
In a group of cultists, the woman dressed as a peasant woman, but with an appearance and temperament that was obviously not in line with her identity, she was clearly the core of the team under the protection of her companions.
And if Catherine is here, she will find that although this is her mother, she is much younger than the "middle-aged peasant woman" in her impression.
The battle they had just experienced was nothing to these high-ranking clergymen, but Marianne, the leader of the team, looked at the corpse of the thief in front of her and fell into deep thought.
"Troublesome"
No one is stupid, as the leader of the team, and as the helmsman who is still struggling after so many years of the collapse of the Beast God Church, she has mastered a lot of religious knowledge and demonic mysteries at the level of "archbishop" and "pope".
What is the situation outside, she has seen it all the way, and she has also mastered the seven calamities that they have inscribed, and they have studied the history of that thing for at least seventy or eighty years.
But here, it's a little bit of a problem. Believers interpret prophecies in their own self-interest, i.e., all interpretations are interpreted in their favor.
The resurrection of the dead is interpreted by it as the resurrection of the gods, and they paint the appearance of their own gods in the murals, which is their expectation and a sense of entrainment.
But now, they have also experienced the real "resuscitation of the dead", and Marianne, as the leader, naturally knows that it is not a real recovery, but a "corpse mutation".
She has already perceived the truth, and realized that due to the misinterpretation of her predecessors and ancestors, the tracing of her own line is destined to be impossible.
But it can't be stopped.
"Blasphemer, blasphemer."
"Sure enough, they are the doom apostles who prevented our Lord from resurrection. High priest, give orders, let's get rid of them once and for all! ”
"This is a test, this is an opportunity for our Lord to witness our piety!"
Looking at the fanatical high-level believers in front of her, Marianne in the past only had joy available to people's hearts, but now, she felt her scalp tingle.
Are you reasoning with fanatics? Do you reason with fanatical believers who have been waiting for this day for decades, two or three generations? Talking about the mistakes of the predecessor and the former high priest in interpreting the prophecy, this tomb was repaired in vain, and so many years of waiting and layout were in vain, which is more hurtful than denying the other party's life.
The High Priest knew that her authority came from faith, and if she dared to utter these "blasphemous words", the next moment, all believers would make her the first priority in their lives.
"As the helmsman and controller of the Church, you must not be a fanatic, on the contrary, you must understand the gods, read the gods, use the gods, you can not even be true believers, but you must not get too close to God."
That's what the high priest said to Marianne when he took office.
And eleven years ago, when Marianne taught her daughter, the future high priest, she said the same thing.
This is not accidental, on the contrary, the larger churches have similar teachings and unspoken rules. Those who are too religious and fanatical are fit to be the leaders of the flock, but not to be the shepherds who guide the way.
In many worlds, churches may tell you that faith solves all problems, but the boss who says this knows that this is a lie. If he also believes and dares to do anything for the sake of his faith, then that church will be only one step away from complete madness and destruction.
Whether it is Marianne or Catherine, for the belief in the beast god, let alone fanatical believers, it is difficult to count even devout true believers.
She, like her daughter, immediately noticed that something was wrong, and that the resurgence of the "beast god" would only cause disaster.
So, are those believers in front of you not aware at all? No, in their eyes, there is probably nothing else, and they who sacrificed their lives for the revival of the gods have no possibility of stopping.
Maybe there are a few outliers among them, and there are rational people, but at this time, it is impossible for him to be stupid enough to speak out and come up with an ideal analysis.
Marianne hesitated, but she knew what to do in the face of fanatical high-ranking believers. That's all she can do.
"Let us, then, make these heretics and blasphemers sacrifices before our Lord recovers. Go, bloodthirsty hounds, and hunt down the blasphemers! ”
The High Priest's order immediately excited these believers.
They immediately took action, taking advantage of the local geography and began to search for the invaders in the tomb.
Beast God Cultists, Evil Bone Thieves, Unlucky Shepherds, Red Sand Thieves, and Hungry Mutated Monsters, before Lu Ping'an and his party arrived, this small group of catacombs gathered forces from all directions.
They kill each other underground, fight each other, fight each other to the death.
In this extra day and a half, there have been countless life-and-death battles between various forces in the catacombs.
But in general, the believers of the beast god who have mastered the advantages of geography and institutions occupy a certain advantage, and in most cases, they who have the initiative are hunters rather than prey.
First of all, they took advantage of the mechanism to divide the invaders who had taken the "road of bandits", focusing on the most numerous evil bone bandits.
Their strength even forced the originally death-fighting Bone Bandits and the Red Sand Bandits to have limited cooperation.
At this moment, there were two high-level beast god shamans, blocking the red sand bandits and bandits.
Two against seven, but the side with more people is completely below. The crazy beast god cultists are not only not bad in strength, but they are also reckless in battle.
Seeing that a massacre is about to be staged again, the side with many people is cornered.
Suddenly, the ceiling opened
"Boom!"
The heavy object fell directly into the body of the Beast God Cultist, knocking him directly into the air.
And his opponent, how could he miss this opportunity.
In an instant, throwing knives, gunshots, and sorcery rang out at the same time, turning the unlucky guy who was smashed into a hornet's nest.
"Damn it!"
The remaining Beast God cultists ran away, but before they could leave, a "mark of hatred" was thrown on the attacker as a "reinforcement".
This is a common ability that many churches have, and when you kill or completely offend a high-ranking or important person in a church, you should be careful of being attached to this curse. At that time, the trouble will be endless! The hunt will be from the beginning to the night!
And at this time, the attackers. Xue En, who had just fallen, was looking at the surrounding environment with a confused expression.
A moment ago, he was still banging and pounding in that room, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in this strange place.
Well, it's a little wet under the butt, so I can't sit on something unpleasant.
"Where is this? Who are you? Wait, what are you guys doing with your guns?! ”
