Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 139: Driving away wolves and tigers
The terrain between Hongyun Town and Saige Town was open, and the two walked all the way. Fortunately, they did not lose their way in the wind and snow.

"Sir Ron, that's Red Cloud Town." After climbing over a low slope, Mark raised his hand and pointed forward.

Ron looked in the direction he pointed and saw the outline of a town vaguely visible in the wind and snow, with a few sparse lights swaying in it.

"Master Ron, just leave me here." Mark said.

There is a small village in front of the low slope. Although it has become an uninhabited ruin, there are still a few wooden houses that can barely shelter from the wind and rain.

He was not afraid of the evil cultists in Hongyun Town, but he did not want to be a burden to Ron.

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and Ron did not hesitate.

"Hide here. If I'm okay, someone will come pick you up."

He placed Mark in a relatively intact wooden house, left some food and a blanket for warmth, then turned and ran quickly towards Hongyun Town.

"I hope the main force of the Evil God Cult hasn't left yet."

Ron muttered to himself.

Of course, he didn't want to wipe out the evil cult team in one fell swoop, nor did he have the strength to do so.

He just wanted to borrow the power of the evil god priest to deal with the aggressive guy.

He always paid some attention to the other party's movements.

I had a glimmer of hope in my heart that "what if the other party is not coming for me, but is just doing something else, and the direction happens to be towards me."

But unfortunately, the other party was determined and kept locking onto him.

Moreover, the more attention he paid, the more frightened Ron became.

Because that guy was chasing us all the way and his speed never slowed down from beginning to end.

The power of faith consumed in this pursuit is estimated to be at the fifth level.

"Where on earth does this guy get so much power of faith?" Ron was puzzled.

From the time they entered the Kingdom of God to the time the other party began to move at high speed, less than an hour passed.

In such a short time, it is already good enough to understand the rules of the Kingdom of God. How is it possible to get so much power of faith?

Especially in dangerous areas invaded by evil cults.

Unless it is a sacrifice to an evil god.

But how many people know the ritual of sacrificing to the evil god, and where can we find so many high-quality sacrifices... Wait!
It seems... there are really people who can do it.

Ron suddenly thought of the three brothers in the Diam Kingdom who were possessed by the residual soul of the evil cult priest.

Those three brothers...oh, no, now they should be two brothers.

The two brothers were the remnants of the evil cult of this era and were very familiar with the practice of sacrifice.

If they came to this world, they could quickly integrate into the Evil God Cult with their once glorious identities, and it would not be difficult for them to ask for some sacrifices.

Thinking of this, Ron immediately understood a lot of things.

No wonder the God of Light placed two players in this dangerous area. It turns out that he was adapting to local conditions.

As for why he was accurately targeted, it was probably because when he was dealing with the evil priest who could curse in Orrantia, he was left with a curse or something like that.

Now that his brother has entered the kingdom of God and his residual soul has revived, his identity can naturally be locked down according to the guidance of the curse.

He quickly sensed another player in the danger zone - the other player hadn't made any big moves so far.

From this, we can infer that only one of the two brothers came in, otherwise there should be two people chasing him now.

However, one is difficult to handle.

As a fellow priest of the Evil God Cult, he was a little worried that this group of people might start fighting.

But at this moment, he had no other choice.

If you escape from Hongyun Town, you will be caught sooner or later, and the outcome will be disastrous.

It’s better to give it a try.

……

Hongyun Town.

In the underground space of the dilapidated house, the air was turbid and cold. Dozens of people were huddled together, their bodies trembling with fear.

Their eyes were filled with fear, and they even deliberately kept their breathing very low, fearing that the slightest sound would bring about a catastrophic disaster.

On the ground, the sound of heavy footsteps, the rustling of ruins, and the unique cruel and playful conversations of the evil cultists came clearly through the cracks in the floor like the beat of a death drum.

Every time the sound approached, the people underground's hearts would stop and cold sweat would soak their thin clothes.

Time passed slowly in extreme fear.

Finally, the footsteps seemed to fade away and the noise on the ground subsided.

"...Is he gone?" someone asked in a trembling voice.

"It seems... he's gone..." Another voice spoke with a sense of exhaustion after surviving a disaster.

Everyone's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and suppressed sobs could be heard softly in the darkness.

"Lord Zed, I... I'm so scared..." In the corner, a girl wrapped in a worn blanket cried out in a heavy voice. Even though she was wrapped in the blanket, her body was still shaking uncontrollably.

"Miss Diana, don't be afraid, hold on." Knight Zed, wearing tattered armor and with blood on his face, leaned against the wall. His voice was low but carried a reassuring power.

"Those demons will leave the town soon after they finish looting. We just need to hold on a little longer..." He clenched the sword in his hand. The blood on the hilt had dried and turned black.

"So the rats are hiding here. It's really easy for us to find them." A cold and teasing voice suddenly sounded like a poisonous snake!
Immediately afterwards——

Bang!
The floor above my head was suddenly lifted up by a huge force! A biting cold wind and bleak light instantly poured in.

A face of an evil cultist with a cruel smile appeared at the entrance of the cave, and his greedy eyes swept over the terrified crowd below.

"Ah——" a scream exploded instantly.

"Protect Miss Diana!"

Zed roared like an enraged lion, and at the moment the wooden board shattered, he sprang up like a spring.

"Martial Arts—Wave Slash!"

The sword flashed, and the unsuspecting cultist was knocked away with a scream, leaving a deep wound on his chest that could be seen to the bone.

Zed took advantage of the situation and jumped out of the cellar. He took a quick look and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

In the shadows of the surrounding ruins, at least a dozen evil god followers gathered in the shadows, staring at him as if he were prey.

He gritted his teeth and swung his sword again, aiming directly at the side of the encirclement that was also the exit of the small town.

"Wave Slash, Combo!"

The sword blade drew a sharp arc, causing the air to hum, and it split the two cultists who were blocking the way, tearing open a narrow gap.

"Come out quickly, run!" Zed turned his back to the gap and shouted at the top of his lungs towards the bottom of the cellar.

The people in the cellar woke up as if from a dream, quickly climbed out, and ran towards the gap torn open by Zed.

"Lord Zed..." Diana ran to the edge of the gap and looked at the knight who was besieged by several cultists and had several new wounds on his armor. Tears welled up in her eyes and she hesitated.

"Go! Leave me alone!" Zed roared without looking back, his voice hoarse from trying so hard.

“Yes…” Diana watched the knight’s blood-soaked figure, biting her lower lip hard to swallow her sobs. With tears streaming down her face, she turned and followed the crowd into the snow-covered ruins. “A very touching scene.”

A sinister, hoarse voice suddenly sounded in front of Diana and the others as they fled.

Zed turned around suddenly as if struck by lightning.

At the end of the alley, a figure wearing a loose black robe embroidered with obscure runes slowly walked out.

Under the hood, one could only see a frightening shadow and two points of cold green light. He just stood there, and a disgusting evil aura spread out, as if even the surrounding wind and snow had frozen.

The fleeing crowd stopped in fear as if they had hit an invisible wall. Diana was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the cold snow.

The evil cult priest looked down at the limp girl, the shadow beneath his hood seeming to draw a cruel arc, and his icy voice was like a verdict: "Today, none of you can leave."

As soon as the words fell, a fierce fighting spirit swept over.

Zed's eyes were bloodshot and a will to die burst out from his broken body.

He completely ignored the weapons that the cultists were slashing at him from behind, and poured all his strength, all his anger, and all his protective will into the sword in his hand.

He let out an earth-shaking roar, and his body shot out like an arrow, with a tragic momentum of burning himself to death, and stabbed at the desperate priest of the evil god cult.

Facing this blow that embodied the knight's last glory, the evil god priest simply snorted with extreme contempt.

He raised the scepter in his hand and stomped it lightly. Three or five balls of black flames rushed Zed away and bound Zed's body like a quagmire.

"Out of control."

The Evil God Cult priest's voice was flat, as if he was stating something boring.

Just as he turned around and was about to walk towards Diana, the hood on his cheek suddenly tore open, and then a trace of blood slid down his cheek.

"Hahaha... cough cough... you're nothing special." Zed's mocking voice came at the right time.

The evil cult priest's face suddenly darkened, and a dark force shot out from the bone scepter, hitting Zed like a sledgehammer.

Click!

The armor on Zed's chest, along with several of his ribs, shattered instantly. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily into a broken wall more than ten meters away, then slid to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth.

"Drag him here!" The Evil God Cult priest's voice was filled with a hint of anger at being despised. "I will use the most painful method to peel off his soul bit by bit and sacrifice it to my Lord."

The two evil cultists immediately walked towards the dying Zed with a grin.

At the same time, four or five evil god believers quickly set up the altar for the sacrificial ceremony.

Soon, a circular altar with a diameter of three meters was set up, and Zed was thrown into the altar.

The priest of the evil cult stood at the edge of the altar, tapping the ground lightly with his scepter, and slowly chanting the blessing to call upon the gods.

The runes on the altar lit up one by one.

"No...don't..." Not far from the altar, Diana looked at Zed's figure twisted and struggling in pain in the light in despair. Tears blurred her vision and she could only shake her head weakly.

"Priest Kocher, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Suddenly, a panicked voice, accompanied by heavy breathing and fear, came from the direction of the gate of Hongyun Town like a thunderclap.

Kocher was distracted by the sudden shout and the sacrificial ceremony was instantly interrupted.

hum-

A bone-chilling, terrifying murderous intent that was almost condensed into substance suddenly burst out from Kocher, and the air around him seemed to be frozen.

All the cultists were silent, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

It's over! The High Priest hated being interrupted the most.

Who is this reckless guy? !
The believers looked in the direction of the sound in fear.

I saw a figure covered in dirty snow and blood, wearing a tattered black robe of a cultist, staggering and crawling towards me.

"Priest Kocher, I have something important to report." The man ran closer and shouted again.

Kocher had his back to him and did not respond.

A small leader of the evil god cult who was good at observing people's expressions saw that Kocher did not kill the man immediately, and he knew that Kocher wanted to know what important thing the man was talking about.

He immediately stood up and shouted, "You bastard, what are you so flustered about?"

"My Lord, something happened in Beren Town."

"Beren Town?" The small leader frowned. "Isn't that a town in the neighboring county? What does it have to do with us if something happens there?"

"The people in Beren Town accidentally discovered a secret realm at the beginning of the end, from which they obtained a cipher text that records how to amplify the effect of sacrifice, but they also accidentally activated the residual soul of a priest at the beginning of the end." said the embarrassed believer.

"How do you know these things?" Kocher asked.

"Reporting to Priest Kocher, I learned all this from the believers who fled to Saige Town."

"Go on." Kocher nodded slightly.

"The residual soul of the priest who escaped from the secret realm of the beginning of the end is very cruel. He doesn't care about the feelings of the same origin at all, and even uses the people of my End Cult to sacrifice to restore his strength. He chased the believers of Beren Town all the way to Saige Town, and now he is sacrificing a large number of my End Cultists around Saige Town. Please ask Priest Kosher to take charge of us!" The believer said in a sad and angry voice.

Kocher did not respond to his request, but instead asked, "Did the believers in Beren bring the secret code?"

"Brought it."

"Where is the thing?" A gleam of light immediately flashed in Kocher's eyes.

A secret code that can amplify the effect of sacrifice... Greed appeared in his eyes.

But the follow-up answer from the believer poured cold water on him.

"I lost it."

Kesher's murderous intent instantly rose: "You..."

"But I remember everything above."

"What... is your name?" The anger in Kocher's voice disappeared in an instant.

"My name is West, Priest Kocher," the believer replied respectfully.

"Very good, West," Kocher nodded with satisfaction. "Now, tell me the contents of the ciphertext."

"Priest Kocher, can I... show it directly with a sacrificial ceremony?" West asked cautiously.

"Sure." As if seeing through West's thoughts, Kocher chuckled nonchalantly and pointed at Zed on the altar: "This sacrifice is a reward for you."

"Thank you for the grace of Priest Kocher." West said happily.

Kocher nodded slightly, and was about to wave his hand to disperse the believers around him who were in the way, so that he could watch alone.

boom--

A tremendous force swept over like a flood.

"He...he's coming!" The joy on West's face instantly turned into horror.

As if to confirm his words, the next moment, a destructive fireball as big as a house, burning with eternal black flames, tore through the wind and snow, and slammed towards the altar with the breath of burning everything.

"Humph!"

Kocher snorted in displeasure.

There are always some tactless guys who disturb his fun.
