"All the people are going to take refuge in the middle of the city, and those who can cope with the situation will definitely gather there to prepare for the chaos."

"Adventurers, please take up swords and shields, form a line of defense, protect these unarmed ordinary people, and give you the protection of the stars in the name of the goddess of justice."

"You must hold on, I am with you."

It doesn't take much talent or eloquence, just by virtue of the noble status of the gods and the banner of justice, it is enough to be able to calm down the chaotic situation.

"Yes."

"Yes."

The civilians were still fleeing in a panic, but the escape with a destination suddenly made the situation a little more orderly, and the adventurers began to form a defensive line to meet the chaos of the dark faction in a small way.

The scene here was orderly, and at this moment, Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.

“…… It's too dangerous to run to encourage the kids, Asteria. ”

The voice came, and it was one of the few gods that Lu Ming knew, Hermes, who spoke.

In the original book, it can also be regarded as an important supporting role of the gods.

Lu Ming took a step forward and looked at Hermes vigilantly: "Asteria, stand back." ”

Hermes shook his head slightly: "Astria, this is your new child?" Very energetic. ”

Lu Ming asked Asteria, "...... Can I kill him? ”

Asteria blinked, "No, it's a felony to kill a god...... If he was punished for killing Hermes, it would be too much of a loss. ”

Hermes looked sluggish: "...... Wait a minute? What's going on? ”

Lu Ming sneered: "Errebos has already betrayed you, are you still pretending?" ”

Hermes blinked in confusion: "Wait, wait? What do you mean? You don't think I'm working with the dark faction, do you? ”

Now that his family members are not around, Hermes is a little panicked.

Lu Ming snorted coldly: "Pretend? Do you pretend? ”

He took two steps forward, sword in hand.

Hermes swallowed, completely oblivious to what was happening, and hurriedly argued; "With my relationship with the old man Zeus, how can I be in the same league with the dark faction, don't be impulsive, there is something to discuss."

Lu Ming smiled disdainfully: "Zeus? Isn't Chaldo a member of the family of Zeus? ”

Hermes stiffened, and then said, "I like heroes the most, so it's impossible to join the dark faction, right?" ”

Lu Ming said: "Erepos sold you, he said that he planned to destroy Eulari in order to inspire the new generation of heroes, and as soon as he told you, you volunteered to join. ”

Hermes was silent.

…… , why does it sound like something I can do?

But I'm so innocent to feed.

Lu Ming stepped forward and took a step closer, Hermes was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "You can't listen to him, you have to talk about evidence in this matter." ”

Lu Ming was disdainful: "Isn't your appearance here evidence?" ”

Hermes was slightly stunned, and Astria's face changed slightly, and said, "You mean ......?" ”

Lu Ming nodded and admitted: "No one thinks that the dark faction's self-detonation attack is just for the sake of civilians, right?" ”

"Gather the civilians, drag the adventurers into their tracks, disrupt Olarie, and—surely target the gods."

Lu Ming sighed, he couldn't have guessed the methods of the dark faction beforehand, but now that this suicide attack had been made, if he couldn't guess it, it would be too stupid.

Therefore, he said that Asteria is a wild girl who acts according to her instincts, and now it is more dangerous for the gods to hide in the clan station, and the elite of the dark faction is afraid that it is not the clan station that blocks the gods and kills them.

Lu Ming looked at Hermes and said coldly: "Only the top level knows that you have taken refuge in the dark faction, and the lower level on the mission does not know you at all, in order to avoid danger, you came to the battlefield, am I right?" ”

Hermes: "......"

Lu Ming: "Nothing to say?" ”

Hermes: "...... Wait, that's not right at all. ”

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "Then you explain, why didn't you bring guards and come to the front line by yourself?" ”

Hermes: "...... right, why should I?"

I...... Can't I do it on my own?

Hermes covered his face, and when he said this, he felt so suspicious.

Not to mention, he's really good friends with Erepos.

Lu Ming pulled out his sword, Astria's pull him and said gently, "...... I believe in him. ”

At this moment, like the sun shining through the night, Hermes was vaguely moved.

“…… Asteria's mother, beg for a hug. Hermes didn't want any face, and was about to pounce on him to rub his welfare, but Lu Ming kicked him away.

The corners of Astria's mouth twitched slightly.

Lu Ming shook his head: "I don't believe him." ”

Hermes looked at Asteria with tears in her eyes.

Asteria hesitated, "Let's sum it up...... Let him wear the guilt and make meritorious deeds? ”

Asteria smiled: "Hermes, there is a shortage of people to encourage the children to maintain order and guide the evacuees, are you willing to help me?" ”

Hermes looked at the unsheathed sword in Lu Ming's hand, nodded tearfully, "...... I do. ”

Lu Ming pouted, and the No. 1 tool man got it.

……

After Hermes left, Asteria sighed and chuckled, "If you hadn't given me a look, I would have believed that he had colluded with Erepos." ”

The goddess paused and asked, "They really didn't collude?" It really doesn't matter? ”

Lu Ming shook his head slightly: "...... I don't know. ”

He originally intended to kidnap people to help work overtime, but he was a little confused when he said it.

Recall that in the original book, he forcibly threatened the heretics to fight Bell for the sake of Bell's reputation, and he still did it to help Errepos.

And he was close to Zeus, was friends with Erepos, and appeared on the front line alone...... This is also too suspicious.

Lu Ming hesitated: "Why don't I go and kill him now?" ”

Asteria shook her head slightly: "It's just suspicious, forget it if there is no evidence, there is no reason to be guilty because of suspicion." ”

Astria muttered, "...... Not necessarily, yes, not necessarily. ”

She sighed deeply and pressed the words to her lips.

Hermes is full of suspicious words inside and out......

You sneak up and kill him, don't ask me!

Failing to appreciate the goddess's careful thoughts, Lu Ming shrugged his shoulders slightly.

The situation is messed up like this, and Finn doesn't know what he will be buried?

The question is...... No one can prevent this.

It's pathetic.

……

Finn gritted his teeth.

"Placed aside."

Some of the Dark Faction's personnel were sent not only to stall for time, but to lower his vigilance.

I'm afraid that in the past few days, the dark faction has already dispersed a large number of people, and there are not many people in the stronghold, and most of them have infiltrated the city.

Abandoning a stronghold that has been in operation for a long time just to kill and injure people and cause chaos? Impossible.

The more chaotic the dark faction is, the more it is consuming its own power, and with the help of chaos, paying such a big price, the dark faction is afraid that it intends to-

Finn looked up.

In the night sky, a meteor streaked by.

It did not fall from the sky, but flew from the ground to the heavens.

Pillars of light full of divine power surged up, reaching the ground and the sky.

- The gods are killed and return to the heavenly realm.

As a result, the adventurers of the entire clan corresponding to the gods will lose their favor, and their attributes will be sealed to the level of ordinary people.
