Lu Yuan also took the opportunity to activate the time synchronization again, wandering around the edge of the battlefield. Every shot hit the vital points accurately. Without the protection of the deep sea barrier, the power of the enchanted revolver increased exponentially, especially when the bullets were facing mutated creatures.

Although the clan was powerful, it began to retreat steadily under the combined onslaught of firepower and superhuman strength.

Alice swept her hammer across, blasting a familiar flying. The familiar rolled several times on the ground, its chest caved in and its ribs broken.

But it didn't die.

The member of the clan struggled to his feet, his cloudy eyes scanning the battlefield before suddenly locking onto a gray-robed figure who hadn't yet undergone the transformation.

The next second, it pounced.

Before the gray-robed man could even scream, his neck was bitten off by a member of the clan, and his head was ripped off, blood gushing out.

The clan opened its gaping maw, which stretched to its ears, and swallowed its companion's head whole.

Next came the arms, torso...

It is devouring its own kind!

As the flesh and blood entered its stomach, the aura of the creature began to surge violently. Its previously sunken chest healed at a visible speed, its scales became harder, and its body swelled up.

"Oh no!" Mary's pupils contracted.

"Don't let them succeed!" Alice shouted as she saw this.

The other members of the clan, however, seemed to be inspired by something and rushed towards the gray-robed people who had not yet completed their transformation.

But Lu Yuan, who was on the outskirts of the battlefield, reacted even faster.

With the help of timing and Mary's silver aura, flames carrying bullets blew the heads off all the non-mutated cultists!

The clan's plan has failed!

Upon seeing this, Alice's lips curled into a smile.

"Well done!"

She then increased her speed dramatically, rushing towards the familiar that had finished eating like lightning, her warhammer crashing down with thunder.

But the clan members actually extended their webbed claws, attempting to take advantage of this attack!

boom!

The ground cracked, and the clan paid a heavy price for its expansion, letting out a scream and collapsing to their knees.

But he was still struggling, opening his mouth wide and biting at Alice's face.

Alice's eyes turned cold as she dodged to the side, her warhammer once again crackling with lightning.

Boom!

The head of the kin exploded, and its massive body lay sprawled on the ground like mud.

But the price was that Alice's arm was slashed open by claws.

Seeing that all was lost, the last few members of the clan let out a resentful roar and prepared to fight to the death.

"retreat!"

An order came from somewhere, and the remaining members of the clan broke away from the battle and disappeared into the night.

The Night's Watch did not give chase; they were out of strength.

The battle is finally over.

The watchmen did not rest, but quickly cleaned up the battlefield and began to count the casualties. Meanwhile, the four teams that remained at the base quickly spread out to ensure that no members of the Deep Sea Church were lying in ambush nearby.

Five killed in action.

Seriously injured: twelve.

Minor injuries: almost everyone.

This is the price the Night's Watch paid to stop this attack.

Lu Yuan finally turned off the timekeeping device.

[Rationality: 29/71]

[Rationality III: +1, 3/71]

After this battle, Lu Yuan gained a rare amount of experience in his sanity level.

Since reaching level three in sanity, the difficulty of gaining sanity experience has increased dramatically.

However, at this moment, Lu Yuan only felt dizzy and his vision began to appear with some wave-like patterns, as if the world was being distorted.

Clearly, this is a delusion caused by the depletion of reason.

Shaking his head vigorously, Lu Yuan took out the holy water cup from his robes, poured in water, and with a flash of light, drank it all in one gulp.

【理智:+3...+3..+2..37/71】

Lu Yuan used up all the Holy Water Cup's transformation effect in one go.

His rationality finally returned to a relatively stable level, and the illusory scene before him gradually faded away, allowing Lu Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief.

But that sense of being watched from the deep sea just wouldn't go away.

Alice put away the hammer that was as tall as a person, walked over, and looked him up and down: "You're the new consultant?"

Her gaze fell on the revolver in Lu Yuan's hand, then she looked at the corpses of the clan members whose heads had been blown off on the battlefield, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Not bad, you've got some skills."

Lu Yuan nodded in response.

He really didn't have the strength to speak anymore.

Just as the Night Watchmen were cleaning up the battlefield, footsteps were heard outside the base.

Old Morgan returned with a few men.

He was covered in blood, his signature black coat was tattered, and there was a deep claw mark on his face, with blood streaming down his cheek, making him look rather disheveled.

But the bloody smell emanating from him indicated that those who attacked him did not meet a good end.

Mary was surprised to see old Morgan return: "Old Morgan, were you attacked?"

Old Morgan, panting heavily, plopped down on the steps: "The base was indeed attacked? The Ascension Society was also attacked, many people died, and even an alchemist was ambushed. The laboratory was blown to smithereens."

He paused, then continued, "The high priest who came from the church was also attacked. I was worried about the base, so I rushed back, taking care of a few bastards along the way."

"The timing of the Deep Sea Church's attack was perfect; they arrived almost as soon as you left."

Mary examined her wounds and began to speak.

"Could it be that they've gotten hold of your meeting?"

Old Morgan shook his head:

"Unlikely. The base's defenses aren't activated. Even a prophet couldn't see the future while protected."

"Captain Mary! Urgent dispatch from the inner city!"

Just as everyone was talking, a night watchman came running over anxiously.

"The inner city has been attacked. Although the stationed troops have held off the offensive, the Viscount is furious and has now summoned Captain Morgan for a meeting."

Everyone was stunned.

Simultaneous attacks on three forces, and even an assault on the inner city?

How did they manage to do that? What a meticulous plan it must have taken to hide such a large group of people right under the noses of so many others.

Upon hearing this news, a cold glint flashed in old Morgan's cloudy eyes: "Looks like the rats lurking in the shadows are getting restless!"

He then gave Lu Yuan a meaningful look. Clearly, old Morgan had reason to suspect that it was Lu Yuan's strange dream that forced the Deep Sea Church's plan to be brought forward.

Judging from their offensive on the field, they could have done much better, but clearly they didn't. Instead, they eagerly stepped forward and launched an indiscriminate attack on the combat-capable forces in Grimport.

But whatever their purpose, the Night's Watch has suffered a devastating blow...

Lu Yuan finally regained some strength and said, "Old Morgan, Lawson came to see me this afternoon."

Old Morgan turned to look at him.

"He was also infected by the Otherworldly Dreams, but he used them to reach the extraordinary realm and claimed to have been chosen as a priest of the Deep Sea Church," Lu Yuan continued. "He warned me that this attack was just the beginning."

"Furthermore, most of the people on the Iron Whale became 'nourishment'."

After listening, old Morgan's face, covered in blood, became solemn.

Finally, old Morgan stood up, dusted off his coat, and said in a low voice:

"It seems the storm is really coming."

He paused for a moment, then began to issue orders.

"Everyone, go to the base to heal your wounds."

"Alice, increase vigilance and deploy all the hidden sentries."

"Mary, make a detailed list of the casualties. I'm going to change my clothes and go see the Viscount."
