Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 106: Holy Light Cannot Save the Empire

All the miners heard Kane's speech and were all inspired by him.

Endless labor made them so exhausted that they fell seriously ill, and because they could not get medical treatment, they lay there waiting to die, and then were thrown into the pit like garbage.

Do you think life should be like this?
Kane questioned the miners during their half-hour tea break after a busy day, when they witnessed a familiar person become a corpse.

And those children are getting younger and younger, and more and more prone to illness. It is almost impossible for them to survive a year in the mine. They are sent here like consumables with a shelf life of less than a year.

Until one day, when the miners saw the bodies of several sick children being casually put into bags and taken away by the guards, they suddenly had an idea.

Life shouldn't be like this, and neither should an empire.

The cat sneaked behind the crowd and activated an ice arrow scroll made by Ethan. Using the shared vision feature of intermediate elemental mapping, Ethan caught up with the miners' speech to Hagrid. They were telling the story about little Alec.

A very remarkable young man came to work in the Haywood Mine to support his younger brothers and sisters. A few days ago, he accidentally cut his arm while carrying minerals. Although the wound was bandaged in time, it still became infected. He soon developed a high fever and fell into a coma a day later and never woke up again.

"We're all going to die like this sooner or later."

The miner said.

Alec was the straw that broke the camel's back, forcing them to face their deepest fears.

Kindness, integrity, diligence, can they keep Alex alive?

Kane questioned them.

What Alec really needed was healing, but God had rejected him.

God decided to watch him die here.

The miners' voices became increasingly louder, filled with disappointment and anger after having lost all hope. "It's not that we betrayed God, it's that God abandoned us. He only blesses those who whip us!"

It was not Kane who was speaking.

Maomao searched the entire mine but couldn't find Kane, but he seemed to have appeared there in real life. The miners could clearly tell his identity - a gambler from Gear City. Although his true identity could not be verified, everyone who listened to Kane's speech seemed to be affected by it.

Their anger was ignited.

They were so angry that they were not afraid of death. Even if their bodies were pierced by muskets, they would still tear a piece of flesh from the servants of the righteous God.

Ethan also learned that they had a chance to escape after occupying the Heywood Mine, but they took all the captured weapons back to the mine. They were destined to die here, but as long as they killed one more servant of the Righteous God, they would pave the way for those who came later.

They can use the complex terrain in the mine to ambush those people.

"You still have a chance to survive."

Hagrid was still trying to persuade the miners. While clearing the bodies outside, he observed the topography of the Heywood Mine. "As long as we dig a little further in the direction of the southwest corner, we will open up a secret passage leading to the valley. A convoy will pick you up there and take you away from the imperial border."

If you're lucky enough.

There were many prerequisites for this great escape, such as the Imperial Military Industry troops being unable to find them - many of the miners were injured and showed symptoms of infection, and the mine was filled with the smell of corruption.

They couldn't escape too fast, and once they were discovered, they would be caught up quickly.

"Hagrid, you are a kind-hearted person. People like you should not be here."

The miner who was speaking knew Hagrid, and Hagrid was not harassed after entering the mine. "You should take the people in the town back. The war has already started."

For the empire, this was undoubtedly a shameless rebellion, but they believed that after the end of this corrupt dynasty, there would be successors who would make a fair evaluation.

The miner pushed Hagrid outside. "Go back to Riverwood before the situation gets out of control!"

All of a sudden, the miners' expressions became solemn, and everyone was ready to die. They saw another person coming.

A man wearing a white shirt and navy blue overalls. His body was covered in dust and his shirt had several tears on it.

"It's time to fight."

The man said, "They are going to release poison gas into the mine. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Grab your guns, grab your hoes, and rush out with me!"

"rush out!"

"Kill them all!"

Hagrid was startled by the sudden shout. He noticed the miner's gaze and turned around, but there was nothing behind him.

The shared vision created by elemental mapping has disappeared.

"Is this also a trick of Bazatos? This is Old Sen."

Ethan asked the energy crystal. This scene was somewhat unlike the old abstract artist he knew. Bazatos would not instigate the miners to charge with him. Instead, he would twist them into assemblers through curses and turn the Heywood Mine into a nest covered in flesh and blood.

This fearless charge was probably too plain for Bazatos and did not suit his taste.

"That's not Bazatos' style. It seems like you have more and more competitors in the market."

This time, Maomao skipped the trouble of signing his name and asked, "How about competing with Mr. Kane?"

This is probably going to be hard to compete.

Although Kane's identity is unknown and it is suspected to be a trick of some evil god, the events in the Heywood Mine really happened and the anger in his heart is also real.

not to mention……

He glanced at Talon and his men who were preparing anti-gas equipment in front of the mine. They were very excited. They couldn't wait to rush into the mine and wipe out all the rioters. Whoever captured Kane alive would receive a huge reward.

The Imperials have never been afraid of the light.

They just wanted to send Kane to Esoke as soon as possible to gain more power and more wealth.

The Righteous God protects them, and it has always been like this.

Ethan pondered.

What could make them feel truly terrified?
"Ready, release the poison gas!"

Talon gave the final order. He had already recovered from the pain of being hit by the knockback spell and smiled bloodthirstily, "Except Kane, leave no one alive!"

His lieutenants activated the scrolls on the barrels of poison gas, a gas that renders people unconscious but not lethal, allowing them to enjoy the thrill of the kill.

They cheered and prepared to charge.

But after the seal on the barrel was broken, poison gas did not spray out as they expected. After the command was given, nothing happened.

Something extended from the depths of the mine, and it spread so quickly that by the time they came to their senses, the poison gas barrels had been frozen inside.

The ice blocked their way.

That is the color of blood.
