Chapter 50 A single action can have far-reaching consequences
It is not an easy task to unite adventurers into a cohesive group.
These scattered soldiers were used to being undisciplined, and apart from their commanders, even the lords found them difficult to control; they could only be lured away with money.
Conversely, if there is enough money, the leader who can motivate them can indirectly motivate the entire adventure team.
This is the biggest lesson Edith has learned in recent days.
She surveyed the entire outpost of the Green Valley underground city.
The area below was filled with a bunch of puppets, with a penetration rate as high as 40%, and even the logistics troops had started using puppets.
All the adventurer guild leaders were watching this agent from Gem City.
"Listen up, this is your task list."
"Those who do more will be rewarded, and those who are absent will be punished!"
"I understand. Talking to you about lofty principles is just bullshit. We're all sensible people, so let's get straight to the point."
"We're all out here to make money, and since we're here to make money, we can't risk our lives for it!"
"Let's get to work!"
At a command, the puppets roared and surged into the underground city.
In the last raid, Gem City had already occupied the entire surface layer, and half of the middle layer had also fallen into their hands.
Therefore, the puppets traveled unimpeded and quickly arrived at the front line.
The flow of magic here is extremely chaotic, and there are broken puppet remains and monster corpses everywhere.
Large numbers of adventurers are using fire magic to incinerate the remains, preventing them from being reused by the Shadow Children.
After the burning, some purification arrays were set up around the area to continuously inhibit the growth of flesh and blood.
This measure was very effective and was a coping strategy that adventurers had come up with.
But that's the end of it.
Below the middle layer of megaliths lies an extremely wide open space.
The crimson monsters writhed and howled on the opposite side, each group of monsters driven by a shadow cultist.
They had used some forbidden magic in their minds to share their consciousness, thus forming an extremely impenetrable defense.
The adventurers tried to break through many times, but were always pushed back.
In terms of organization, they still can't compare to the cohesion of a religious order.
But at this moment, the turning point that everyone has been waiting for is finally about to arrive.
Then the pegasus emerged from the sky and stepped in unison behind Hegesius.
With each step they took forward, the resonance of the divine law grew stronger.
Such a high-profile appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the Shadow Children.
"The law's lackeys have arrived."
"Tsk, it seems the bishop's poison didn't kill him."
Hercules scanned ahead, a clear look of disgust flashing in his eyes.
He could sense that the monsters' bodies were filled with countless vengeful spirits, and that the bodies of the demons were stuffed with the vengeful spirits of many ordinary people.
They used these vengeful spirits as magical nodes, controlling the monsters as if they were their own arms.
It's truly... sinful!
"Form ranks!"
In an instant, Hegeusius raised his platinum sword, pointing it at the Son of Shadow.
"Form ranks!"
All the knights of the law responded in unison, raising their spears as well.
In an instant, a divine light enveloped Hegesius at the forefront.
This is a first-tier divine law spell, Heavenly Judgment.
This is the first divine spell that every law knight learns.
But this is also the strongest divine spell of the Law Knight.
Nearly a hundred Heavenly Judges resonated, and the power of their divine arts suddenly surged!
Hegesius roared in fury, feared by the children of shadow.
"Knights, charge with me and punish injustice!"
boom!
With a loud bang, a sharp sword shot out like a rainbow, rushing towards the Child of Shadows!
Seeing this, the Children of Shadows dared not be careless and hurriedly commanded defensive monsters such as the Earth Armor Dragon to stand in front.
These monsters stacked on top of each other, forming a wall of flesh and blood in an attempt to block this divine judgment.
However, the Law Knights who launched the legion's charge were extremely powerful.
Their consciousness resonated with each other, and they walked together on the path of the law.
Ultimately, with the strength of a peak third-tier cultivator, he unleashed power even greater than that of an ordinary fourth-tier cultivator.
boom!
A loud bang.
The walls built of flesh and blood were completely crushed, and on the way of the charge, some unlucky souls who couldn't escape were melted into dust, never to be reborn.
A gaping hole has been punched in the defenses built by the Shadow Child!
"Brothers, let's go!"
Suddenly, someone shouted out a slogan.
As if awakened, all the adventurers joined the Law Knights in their charge.
The silence was shattered, and a powerful torrent of magic erupted throughout the dungeon.
The puppet, with its steel body, wields magic, constantly burning flesh and blood demons.
The Child of Shadows roared, extending countless tentacles and blood spikes to tear open the puppet's body and devour its flesh.
The mere aftershocks were enough to terrify all the wild monsters, and the shrewd ones had already fled to the underground world.
The foolish ones can only stay in their caves, dig deeper, and pray they don't become the remains of humanity's bloody war.
at the same time.
On the ground.
Edith slowly opened her eyes, sharing the same view with the underground observation mages as she watched the situation at the front.
"Sure enough, these guys called for reinforcements too."
"But aren't there just too many? How can they build so many long-distance teleportation arrays in the dungeon?"
Edith was furious.
The adjutant, who seemed to have received some kind of message, rushed over.
"Sir, an urgent report from within the tribe!"
"read!"
"President Silver Spear claims that we have defiled the princess's bloodline and is gathering more vampires to accuse us. I'm afraid some fence-sitters have already sided with him."
The numerous teleportation arrays within their city have shown magical activity; the Shadow Children must be using these arrays to transport troops!
Silver Spear Lord!
Edith took a deep breath, not expecting that this vampire duke would jump out at this moment and indirectly get involved.
"There's another urgent report."
"besides?"
Edith's eyes flickered slightly, as if she were looking forward to something.
"It belongs to the Blood Moon Lord."
Blood Moon Duke? Hasn't this duke been detached from worldly affairs ever since the Blood Birth Night?
Edith asked in confusion:
"What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything, but the night in the Blood Moon Sea seemed to react."
The adjutant hesitated for a moment before using a very uncertain wording.
"It seems they are praying to Lady Night."
As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, a strong tremor suddenly occurred.
Edith turned around abruptly and saw a blood-red beam of light shooting down from the sky, piercing through layers of mud and into the dark night city.
Such a huge commotion attracted everyone's attention, especially on the front lines, where the Children of Shadows suddenly felt a wave of unease wash over them.
The power they prayed to the Lady of the Night was being rapidly weakened! The teleportation arrays were being weakened and becoming extremely unstable.
Upon seeing this, Edith was overjoyed.
This is Blood Moon's side; they're attacking from a distance!
But before she could even feel happy, another silver-white spear shot down from the horizon and struck Yedu.
The scene immediately became extremely chaotic, and the blood and flesh prayers that had been so painstakingly suppressed began to rise again.
These are two Grand Dukes, two Night Children, battling it out from afar!
The roar of the blood moon and the silver spear echoed, and finally, a blinding flash of light streaked past.
The teleportation arrays of the Shadow Children exploded simultaneously, instantly paralyzing the golems of Gem City.
Edith's face turned deathly pale.
This is bad!
Although the Shadow Children have lost their support, they cannot be without the puppets!
"City defense troops, follow me into battle."
At a command, the prepared reserve forces were deployed into the underground city.
But when Edith arrived down below, she found that the situation was not as bad as she had imagined.
A large number of spell modules from the golems were disassembled and stuffed into new golems, which then stood up again.
Edith immediately realized that those spell modules were not the original components of the puppet, but rather some mysterious little technology produced by someone.
"Well done, Vichy!"
......
"Ah, loach!"
Who is it?
Vichy touched his nose, wondering who was talking about him.
But she didn't have time to think about those things at the moment.
She is at a very critical moment.
Her blood and energy were stagnant, like mud, making it extremely difficult to circulate.
Her blood refining is nearing completion.
