Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 113:
Ruby said he was not worried, but he was still a little worried.
Although theoretically it is impossible for those cultists to cross the mountains and rivers and run from the southernmost to the northernmost of the merchant’s sphere of influence to find the trouble of the exploration team, the reason why the cultists are cultists is an important The characteristic is "crazy". One of these guys is considered a lunatic, Quante is a madman, nothing more than a crazy madman, a grumpy madman, a silent madman, or a calm madman... nothing more.
It is certainly not impossible to use "theoretical" thinking to examine the behavior of lunatics, but it is absolutely unreliable. If a madman can do things according to common sense, is it still a madman?
So even if it's almost two thousand miles away, there is still a possibility that cultists (屁pì)濤 (頔pì) may come here to make trouble.
It's like on the earth. Everyone knows that the base camp of terrorists is in the Middle East. Then where on earth escaped their poison? Probably, the penguins in Antarctica and the cacti in the Sahara Desert don’t have to worry about getting bombed...
The power of action of cultists is so high that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
So Ruby quietly strengthened the guard of the camp, contacted several adventurers, and set up a long-term secret sentry at the foot of the mountain leading to the camp.
He knows that maybe these are unnecessary, but if he doesn't, his heart is not at ease.
Actually, even if he did that, he was still not at ease.
A few days later, follow-up news came.
The priests of the Church of the Lord of Justice met that group of cultists. The two sides fought a fierce battle, and both suffered heavy losses. During the fierce battle, the cultists took out a special golem. The golem looked ordinary, but it was able to control positive energy. This meant that it was made with the blood (flesh ròu) of celestial creatures. It might even be It directly uses a powerful celestial creature as a raw material to transform it into what it is now.
The combat effectiveness of the "celestial golem" is not particularly high, but in group combat, its auxiliary effect is really outstanding. If it weren't for its help, relying on the cultists with abnormal brains, it would never be possible to fight against the well-disciplined, well-equipped, and well-equipped paladins.
In the end, this "God of Heaven" took a few leftover cultists to escape. As for those cultists who could not escape, they all sacrificed themselves as sacrifices. If it weren't for the paladin led by the priests who had rich experience and destroyed them completely in time, I'm afraid it would summon something extremely terrifying.
"So it seems that the matter (qíng) is over?" After hearing the news, Ruby said to the adventure who came to report, "Can we feel at ease?"
"It should be possible." The adventurer said, "The cultists have been wiped out. Although there are still a few fish that slip through the net, they can't make any big tricks. And even if they escape this time. , There are also priests chasing them. At present, the merchant faction and the aristocratic faction have united and opened a high reward. The head of a cultist can be exchanged for five hundred gold coins, which is simply a head made of gold!"
"There must be many adventurers looking for and hunting them down?"
"Yes." The adventurer said, "I also participated in the hunt before, but I found that there were too many monks and porridge. Hundreds of adventurers tracked down the whereabouts of a few people. I don't know who can hit the big luck. I looked for it. I haven’t found it for a few days. I discussed it with a few friends, so I just choose a direction and let’s sell the news."
He walked all the way, and wherever he went, he peddled detailed information about the "Cultist Rebellion". As a front-line person who participated in the chasing and killing of cultists, he was relatively clear about the cause and effect of the whole thing (情qíng), and the details (情qíng) of several battles, relying on the peddling (情qíng) report, It also made a lot of money.
Ruby was completely relieved and removed the secret whistle.
Although the storm did not reach the prospecting team, it was only a false alarm, but it made him feel deeply disturbed.
In the evening, he submitted a report to the Ministry of Mines of the Northwestern Republic. The report said: In view of the current unstable situation of the gold coin federation, it is recommended to increase manpower and complete the joint exploration work as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary risks.
"We need to increase manpower." In an underground hole (cavity xué), (body shēn) the devil's broken body said, "The manpower is insufficient."
In the vicinity of it, several corpses in black robes lay all around, completely stiff.
"These guys have a bad brain, it's really troublesome to use." A voice rang beside it (body shēn), "Perhaps we should consider finding someone else."
"Apart from them, what other mad people can be found?" The golem's voice was calm and hoarse, but it revealed a sense of distress, "If we want to carry out our plan, we must find people who are cruel and evil enough. . I can’t think of anyone in the world who is more brutal and evil."
"But they are not convenient to use."
The Golem sighed: "Everything is pros and cons. After all, these guys are not the same with us. It is not easy to use them to cause sabotage. If you want them to be completely obedient, this is Impossible."
"But they would actually attack you...The reason is actually because of the conflict of factions. I have never seen such an ridiculous (qíng) situation!"
"This reason is actually (very tǐng) sufficient. We did not fight for this reason as well..."
"But we will never turn our heads into enemies because of conflicts with the opposing faction when we need to rely on others to save lives." The voice rose a little, "This is not stubbornness, it's brain damage!"
"If it's not brain-dead enough, who would come to help me and make trouble for the reason that I can provide you with convenient transportation?" The Golem asked rhetorically.
The voice was silent, and after a while, it asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"You are in charge, you decide what to do, and I will assist." The golem replied, "Of course, if you want to make a decision, I plan to find another place to attack. Maybe the noble faction and merchant faction can now Cooperation, but as long as I keep attacking, sooner or later I will provoke conflicts between them."
"But... how long will it take?" The voice said with a sigh~IndoMTL.com~We have been procrastinating for too long. "
"There is no way to hide (body shēn) actions. This is too restrictive for us. Otherwise, we only need to find some devout believers, and it is easy to launch a large-scale attack against the merchant faction. ."
"No! My lord's command is absolute!"
"Yes, so I have to take it slowly." White light flows on the golem (body shēn), and in the light, damage is still slowly restored. "Wait for me to fix this (body shēn) Body, go and continue to act."
"I will also finish (情qíng) as soon as possible. The current situation of (情qíng) does not allow me to play the role of a princess slowly."
After finishing speaking, with a light breeze, something went away suddenly.
The golem sighed deeply and sat down.
In the cave, the silence is like a graveyard.
