Chapter 137: The Betrayer Shall Not Die Well
Mayben did not know about the feud between Longinus and Bennu, and he did not think that there was any need to inquire about the reason.
After all, one side is the Guardian of the Constant City, and the other side is the evil Druid, and the two sides are already hostile to each other.
However, when he saw the destruction that Bennu had done to Hengcheng, he immediately understood why Longinus saw the other party as a thorn in his side.
At this time, in front of Mei Ben was the ruins of a village and town, and judging from the size of the ruins, there were many people living here, and it should have been very prosperous.
However, now that the ruins are surrounded by trees and thick vines crawling the surface of the dilapidated houses, the original appearance of the buildings is almost obscured, and it is believed that it will not be long before the plants will completely submerge the place.
The ruined scene around him was nothing, and the countless white bones hanging from the trees were what shocked him the most.
"Is this all done by the Oak Sage Bennu?"
Hearing Mebben's inquiry, Longinus, who was standing on the side, shook his head at first, and then nodded.
"It wasn't Bennu who created the scene in front of him, but it had a lot to do with him."
"Since the fall of the eternal night, the whole world has changed dramatically, and it is not only us who have been affected, but also the Druids.
I've heard of a split within them, with some of their elite breaking away from the sect's control, even relinquishing their druid identity and calling themselves shepherds.
And the culprit who caused such a tragedy in front of him was the shepherd. ”
At this point, Longinus's eyes could not hide the look of anger.
"Truth solar guards against monsters like vampires, but it can't stop these ruthless tree shepherds,
They often attack the villages and towns around Hengcheng, and when they make a move, they often slaughter an entire village.
What's even worse is that the shepherds will drive the trees from the dead fog to root near the village, and once someone comes to collect the corpses of the villagers, it will trigger the trap laid by the herdsman, and the surrounding trees will release fog like crazy, so that the whole village will be shrouded in the dead fog, and it is no longer suitable for living people. ”
Meben listened to Longinus's narration, combined with the white bones hanging from the trees in front of him, and his cold blood couldn't help but be ignited with anger.
"Since it was the crime committed by the scum of the shepherd, shouldn't we go to the shepherd to settle the score, why should we go to Bennu the Oak Sage?"
In the face of Meben's question, one of the Knights of Truth who was traveling with him said with disdain:
"What do you vampire monsters know, the shepherd's rebellion is essentially a dispute within the Druid Sect.
As the leader of the sect, the Oak Sage naturally seeks revenge on this highest-ranking person. ”
Hearing the other party call himself a monster, Mei Ben's heart was both aggrieved and angry, he didn't become a monster voluntarily, and if he had a choice, he didn't want to do this.
Unfortunately, none of this can be changed.
On the other side, Longinus saw that Meben's face was ugly, and he quickly took over the conversation and continued:
"This is not accurate, and the reason why Bennu was chosen as a target is because what he has done is just as unforgivable, even worse than that of the shepherds."
"I have reason to suspect that Bennu, the Oak Sage, was deliberately conniving at the slaughter of the village by the shepherds, and has been spotted on more than one occasion that he haunts the vicinity of the village where it was slaughtered, and has taken with him a large number of orphans.
These children became the new blood of the Druids and the destabilizing factors that threatened the security of the city. ”
After listening to Longinus's explanation, Mebben nodded abruptly.
It turned out that the source of the druids was the golden people living in Hengcheng.
If this problem is not solved, it will not be possible to fundamentally solve the druids and the shepherds, and with Hengcheng's continuous supply of fresh blood, these two forces will become bigger and bigger like a cancer.
At this time, Longinus leaned on Mebben and said with a sincere face:
"Meben, I have fully explained the specific reasons to you, and I hope you will help me capture Bennu.
I swear by faith that as long as this operation can be completed, I will keep my promise and give you a place in the Church of Truth. ”
Mei Ben believed that the other party would not deceive him, but he was hesitant in his heart.
He had just been snatched away by the Knight of Truth, which made him see his identity clearly.
He is no longer human, but a monster that sucks human blood, and the fact that the Holy Fool is willing to accept him does not mean that others can also accept him as an alien.
He could almost foresee the exclusion and discrimination he would suffer in the future, which was the reason for his inner hesitation.
"Even if I stay in the church, as a vampire, I can no longer blend in with the crowd, so I have to force it to stay."
For this question, Mei Ben has no answer in his heart at this time, maybe time will make a decision for him.
…………
"Whew!"
It's a full moon again, and on such a day the werewolves will be very active, this is their hunting day, and under the influence of the moon, they will attack everything that moves as far as they can see, even vampires and gargoyles, who are also monsters, will choose to avoid them at this time, so as not to suffer unjustified disasters.
However, there will always be victims on days like these.
At this time, a large group of werewolves ran wildly in the wilderness, frantically chasing their prey, a group of tree herders who were the target of the chase.
"Damn, get rid of those mad dogs, we'll be done if we catch up."
The shepherds knew that they would not be able to outrun the werewolves in this way, so they decisively stopped.
I saw a shepherd raise the dead wood staff in his hand and thrust it into the ground.
With the wooden stick as the center, the surrounding weeds continue to grow and quickly wither and decay.
As the flames fell on the hay, the entire meadow was instantly ignited.
"Retreat!"
After setting the fire, the herders grabbed the roots of the trees that had been prepared for a long time, and drove the roots with the power of the trees to throw them out of the fire.
"Hmph, I think this group of mad dogs still dare to chase them."
"We can wait a little longer, maybe we can find a few roasted ones."
"Haha, great, I've never tasted a werewolf."
Looking at the raging fire not far away, several shepherds vented their joy for the rest of their lives.
Unfortunately, they were too happy too soon, and saw a ball of fireball rush out of the fire and rush straight in their direction.
The moving fireballs were werewolves, and under the influence of the moon, they had fallen into a madness, and they would not stop chasing their prey, even in the face of raging fire.
Amid the terrified screams of several tree herders, none of them were spared, and all of them were torn to pieces by the werewolves.
Just as they feasted on the corpse, a black panther suddenly appeared not far away.
In the face of this uninvited guest, the werewolves continued to bow their heads and gnaw on the corpse as if they didn't see it.
The black panther transformed by Bennu looked at the scene in front of him and said coldly:
"The Druids don't need traitors, sooner or later, I'll kill all the shepherds."
"Oh? Yes. ”
At this moment, a rhetorical question suddenly sounded in his heart, and it was a hoarse voice like a crow's crow.
"Do you really want to kill all the traitors, obviously you yourself are the original betrayer, but as a citizen of Hengcheng, you stand on the opposite side of Hengcheng, and even killed your own brother with your own hands.
Hee-hee, what a pathetic guy. ”
