Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 146: The Battle of Ximu Town
Miss Chloe is the most docile monster that the other side has ever seen. Not only does she get along well with the residents of the town, she is also friendly to other small animals in the town. Having been in Creekwood Town for so long, she has never seen Miss Chloe attack anyone.

And now, Bi'an saw Miss Chloe nagging people.

Her claws easily pierced through the armor of the bandits, stabbing them like skewers.

The golden sun flew across the crowd, and the group of more than a dozen bandits were wiped out before they could react. Some of them were trampled to the ground, and some were thrown dozens of meters into the sky, turning into a bloody rain. The golden trail remaining in the air obscured the raindrops, evaporating them all before they hit the ground.

"I think Miss Chloe should belong to the raptor family."

Higan propped up his chin, like a researcher of magical creatures, "It's considered a relatively docile bird of prey."

When she explains Brown's plan to Miss Chloe, saying that the bandits intend to attack Creekwood, Miss Chloe lets out a high-pitched hiss that sounds like she's angry.

After wiping out the bandit group in one encounter, Miss Chloe dispersed the light on her body, fell beside the shivering children, and covered them with her wings as if hatching chicks, and her voice turned back to her usual gentle "cuckoo" sound.

However, the highlight is yet to come.

As the president of the Game Association of Ximu Town, Bi'an waved his hand and gave an order, "Cat, I'll leave it to you from now on!"

Before she could finish her words, the white cat landed in the center of the summoning circle, and she could activate the witch's trick without the long list in her lieutenant's hand.

The magic circle emitted an ominous light, and in the blink of an eye it formed a pillar of light that shot up into the sky.

Miss Chloe leaned over to shield the children from the strong wind that was about to break the trees.

In the blood-red beam of light, a huge black shadow was looming.

The next moment, the sharp claws tore open the curtain of light, revealing its true appearance.

It was a pitch-black giant wolf that was more than ten meters long, half of its body still confined within the magic circle.

The red-glowing eyes swept across the other side, locked onto Miss Chloe and the child behind her, and then sniffed greedily.

A thunderous voice reached everyone's ears, "I'm hungry, please bring the sacrifice up!"

"This is... the Beast God!?"

Bi'an stood there in a daze, speaking incoherently.

In the library of the imperial capital, there are some books about the beast gods. Cynthia's high-level believers gave them the name of "gods", but in essence they are monsters fed by fanatics with their flesh, blood and souls. Those fanatics treat the monsters as Cynthia's messengers.

When the beast gods are born, the believers who nurture them will sacrifice themselves, using their own flesh, blood and souls to support them in ascending to godhood.

However, this cruel ritual was strictly prohibited as early as during the reign of Henry I. Defining the worship of evil gods as feeding monsters with human flesh and blood was an unforgivable sin.

What they are facing now is a god created by humans.

Bi'an never expected that the unknown witch could actually summon a beast god!
"I'm hungry, make a sacrifice!"

The beast emphasized its tone, the earth was torn apart by its roar, and its huge body stood like a mountain blocking everyone's way. It needed to swallow those fifteen pure souls to completely break free from the shackles of the magic circle.

The giant beast opened its mouth and saliva dripped onto the ground, forming a puddle. Its action sent a message to everyone present - your God is hungry.

It was a feeling of oppression that was difficult to describe in words. The children who were sacrificed even forgot to cry. They stood there in a daze as if they had lost their souls, as if they were waiting for their fate to come.

When the shackles that bind the Beast God are broken, this pitiful empire will be destroyed.

The other side looked up at the beast and also grinned.

But compared to the Beast God, she was much more restrained and did not let her saliva drip onto the ground.

"Hurry, don't let it run away! This is delicious, this must be delicious!"

She jumped up first and landed on the head of the Beast God. The musket named Red Rose burst out with golden light. The Beast God roared and raised its claws suddenly, but found that its movements became slower and slower. An unprecedented coldness enveloped it, making its movements frozen in place.

Even thoughts seemed to be frozen by this soul-touching coldness.

It saw a white cat, stepped on its head, and landed gracefully on its nose.

The white cat's red eyes swept across its neck, and then the world in its eyes turned upside down.

What on earth... happened?
What is that human saying?
good to eat?

They went through so much trouble to break the restrictions of the plane, could it be... to eat it?
Incomprehensible.

It is totally incomprehensible to the human mind, and this kind of magic.

"boom--!"

The beast's head fell to the ground with another loud bang, followed by its body.

........................

“That’s the origin of the monster steak served with whole wheat bread.”

At the dining table, Winter folded her hands, supporting her chin. She smiled and waited expectantly for Ethan's reaction. "It is said that Cynthia's followers consumed a lot of sacrifices in order to raise him."

I learned how to fry the meat steak from Bi'an, and I also got the spices for seasoning from the apartment next door.

This was the first time that Lin Dong took cooking seriously. In addition to filling her stomach, she hoped that Ethan could feel deep love from it.

Ethan was feeling very stressed as he held the oatmeal bread and fried steak in his hands.

This was also his first time eating a monster.

He took a deep breath and took a big bite.

The rich meat juice burst on his tongue. The steak was fat and lean, without the strange taste he had imagined. When chewed carefully, it was somewhat similar to the beef cubes he had tasted in his previous life.

It was much more delicious than he had imagined. Ethan no longer had any worries and wolfed down the loving dinner that Winter had prepared for him.

Looking at Ethan's eating style, Lin Dong smiled even more happily.

She is indeed a genius. As long as she is willing to study, hunting and cooking will not be difficult for her. Although she failed to hunt a sub-dragon this time, her Beast God rank is roughly the same, so she can barely pass.

She asked, "How is it? Do you feel any changes in your body?"

"Changes? What do you mean?"

"Full of energy, vitality, um...full of wolf-like wildness?"

Having said that, a blush appeared on Lindong's face. She stared straight at him, her thoughts running wild like a wild horse.

The Beast God looks like a giant wolf, so Ethan...

Will he turn into a big bad wolf and pounce on her after eating the special steak?

"hiss--!"

Winter gasped, her cheeks felt hot, even the ice element couldn't help her calm down. With a "bang", she turned into a snow-white ragdoll cat and fell on the chair.

"teacher."

"Huh? Let me prepare myself mentally."

The cat fell backwards, half-raising its little paws to reveal its soft, white belly, and its tail curled up and trembled.

"It seems that there are no changes as you said, teacher...why are you so nervous?"

Ethan looked at the cat suspiciously, but the cat held its neck high and argued, "I, I'm not nervous at all, it's just that, um, the Transfiguration Technique, it's suddenly a little disordered... You said there is no change, oh, I see, I'm studying the effect of the beast god as a food ingredient, it's a very serious academic research!"

There was some disappointment in her red eyes.

Ethan was deeply puzzled. Could the Transfiguration be disrupted? This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"Maybe I just don't eat enough."

In order to cooperate with the teacher's research, he called Miss Chloe. It was said that she ate a lot of beast meat when she was in the mountain. However, her appearance did not seem to have changed significantly this time. The only difference was that the feathers that fell off when she was brewing the potion had grown back.

Ethan asked, "How do you feel after eating the beast god meat?"

"Goo?"

Miss Chloe tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. She straightened her body, shook her wings, and raised her neck to face the ceiling of the apartment.

"Ouch——!"

She learned this.

Seems to have mastered a foreign language.

Ethan was dumbfounded. This time, he really became a wolf-chicken! Miss Chloe howled in the middle of the night, and the whole town of Ximu became nervous. This was the second night after receiving the warning. The residents spontaneously formed a patrol team. They heard about the ability of Brown Egg, a hunter of the third-level wolf school, who was good at controlling wolves to launch attacks.

The bandits from Wolf's Head Fort may appear at any time.

Captain Hagrid personally led the troops to guard the road between Wolf's Head Fort and the town. The guards equipped with electromagnetic crossbows occupied the advantageous terrain to ensure that the bandits would be hit by a round of volleys before approaching Creekwood Town.

In response to the invasion of Wolf's Head Fort, Hagrid personally formulated many tactics. Their guards equipped with electromagnetic crossbows were at the forefront, trying to reduce the number of bandits as much as possible during their charge. When the cavalry approached, they would take the initiative to make way for them to advance, and what would greet them would be the traps prepared in advance.

At that time, the town militia led by Sheriff Ivy will launch a siege around the trap.

The only change to this tactic is Brown Egg and his wolf pack.

If the wolves broke into the town first and found a trap for the bandits, the situation would become very unfavorable.

Therefore, Hagrid knew that he had a heavy responsibility. Tonight might be the time to test his shooting skills that he had accumulated over the years. Whether he could shoot and kill the bandit commander would be the key to the outcome of the battle.

Hagrid brought a bottle of stimulant to ensure that he would be in a highly concentrated state when the bandits from Wolf's Head arrived.

……

On the other side, after dinner, Ethan changed into formal clothes and took an electromagnetic crossbow. Of course, he was just pretending. If the townspeople later found out that he was missing when the bandits attacked, he would inevitably be branded as a coward. His plan was to stay at the back of the militia and inspire his companions with battle shouts.

The cat jumped onto his shoulder, which was an important spectator seat.

"What about the children who were sacrificed?"

Ethan asked before leaving.

"Bring them back to the town. Baron Gladin temporarily settled them in the manor."

Maomao narrowed her eyes and yawned, but today she decided to stay up all night with Ethan. On the one hand, she wanted to witness the achievements of Old Ethan's magical technology, and on the other hand, she had never seen a war on such a... small scale. For her, she only needed to move her fingers to turn more than a hundred bandits into shattered ice.

"By the way, teacher, during your hunting trip, I went to a shop run by a follower of Lao Ba. The meatball who opened the shop was actually named Evans, and he was a businessman before he was converted."

Although the scarlet plague in Riverwood Town has been alleviated under Lao Ba's dedicated guidance, there are still some unsolved mysteries. "He mentioned another chosen one who looked up the book "Scarlet Plague" before me. Maybe this is related to the witch you mentioned."

"This witch is a little weird. I have never heard of such a person before."

Maomao said, "Moreover, her magic is very strange. Most of the witches who believe in Bazatos are witches. Causing the scarlet plague or arranging summoning rituals are also the abilities of witches, but controlling puppets and brewing magic potions are the abilities of other paths. What's even stranger is the Beast God."

"Beast God?"

"The Beast God is the product of the hunting goddess Cynthia, and it is a product that can only be raised by the most fanatical high-level believers. How can a summoning ritual set up by a Bazatos believer summon Cynthia's followers?"

She felt it was strange when they were in the mountains yesterday, but Bi'an and Miss Chloe only cared about eating. What useful information could she get from two foodies?

"Her beliefs are very diverse. She seems to know everything. The Chosen One of Bazatos may not be her true identity."

Maomao was lost in thought, unconsciously leaning against Ethan's face.

Everything about the witch was an unsolved mystery, and they were unable to figure out the other party's intention to instigate the invasion. This made her feel a little uneasy, "Maybe the witch's ability is not inferior to mine."

"I will be careful."

Ethan nodded, and Bi'an and Rowena, who were lying in ambush outside the town, sent the message through the energy crystal.

Brown Egg and his men are already at the gates.

The two of them spent an entire afternoon finally finding a great audience seat. They also brought snacks made from the beast god's meat, and their drink was guava juice that Rowena had cooked in the afternoon.

Both of them attach great importance to the viewing experience and are ready to comment on the war.

Brown Egg faced his men and gave a pre-war speech.

"There is a sheriff in this town named Ivy, a blonde woman. This is the person the witch specifically asked for. You should be careful. As for the others, the old rules still apply. Whoever sees them first gets them!"

According to the reports from the spies he had placed in the town, Ivy was the eldest daughter of a noble family in the imperial capital, a very iconic beauty, which was definitely a rare commodity in this border town.

It’s a pity that it can’t be touched.

Brown Egg looked at the small town in the distance shrouded in the night. It was strangely quiet there, with only a few guards here and there. At this time, the residents of Ximu Town were all asleep, or most of them had died of illness.

"Prepare to attack!"

At a command, he raised his head and let out a loud wolf howl towards the night sky.

"Ouch——!"

When Bi'an and Rowena heard the wolf howl, they were both stunned. They looked at each other and saw each other's confusion.

"You understand it too?"

Rowena asked in surprise. The wolf howl meant "Follow me". Brown Egg was calling his wolf pack.

But why can they understand?
Just as the two were wondering, they heard a rustling sound behind them. Following the sound, they saw several gray wolves appear behind them, staring at them with their dark green eyes.

Bi'an and the gray wolf stared at each other for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and also raised his neck and howled, "Awoo (Go home)——!"

The gray wolves looked very confused. They stared at each other for a long time and then retreated back into the bushes.

Brown Egg heard the wolf howl echoing in the forest. After waiting for a long time without any response, he howled again, "Awoo (Come on, charge!)——!"

The gray wolf, which had retreated into the bushes, poked its head out again.

"Awoo (Go home)——!"

“Ouch (Fuck, come here quickly)——!”

Rowena watched the gray wolf go back and forth in the bushes several times. The leader wolf finally got impatient and started howling along with Bi'an and Brown Egg, "Awoo (Charge or go home!)——!"

Why would there be two leaders giving them orders together, and at the same time giving completely opposite orders?

"Awoo (Go home!)——!"

Rowena also joined the battle and howled with her head raised.

This time the gray wolves understood, and they retreated back into the bushes in unison, and no matter how the brown egg screamed, they would not come out.

The situation is already very clear, the vote is 2:1, with one more vote in favor of going home.

After a simple consideration, the alpha wolf concluded that wolves have always been social animals, and that minority obeying majority is their fine tradition.

Brown Egg waited for a long time, the howling in the mountains stopped, but there was no sign of his wolves. He cursed angrily. Although these gray wolves were not strong in combat, they could be used as cannon fodder for the charge. They only needed to stay aside and wait for the guards to be exhausted by the wolves, and then give them a fatal blow unexpectedly.

This was his tactic for robbing caravans. Even the guards hired by the caravans at high prices fell victim to his wolf pack tactics.

But what is going on with these gray wolves today?

They have never been so disobedient.

He still doesn’t believe it!

Brown Egg raised his neck again, but this time, the howl was stuck in his throat. He heard the sound of wind mixed with electric arcs, and his chest sank suddenly, but what followed was not pain, but numbness.

He lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the huge hole in his chest. He could see the scenery on the other side directly from one end.

The bandits behind him were not spared either. Some of them were shot through the chest or had their shoulders broken.

The sudden change happened so suddenly that it took a long time before the crowd began to cry out in pain and surprise.

But those voices were moving away from him.

Brown Egg's vision became blurred, his hands and feet no longer responded to his commands, he knelt on the cold earth, and then fell down.

Hagrid, who witnessed this scene, breathed a sigh of relief.

he made it!

Brown Egg, the leader of this bandit group, was shot through the chest by an arrow just now.

This was originally a difficult task, but due to a sudden change, everything went smoothly.

Hagrid thought that the brown egg must have gone crazy, standing in the open space in the middle of the night and howling aimlessly, as if he was afraid that no one would notice him. While howling, he tilted his neck back to look at the sky, completely unaware of what was happening around him.

Hagrid had thought that there wouldn't be such completely defenseless living targets on the battlefield, but he had learned something new today.

Damn! This brown egg is so stupid!
