Banner of the Evil God

When all the teams gathered and stood in their respective areas according to the pre-divided areas, City Lord Joseph, who had been sitting silently in the middle of the huge rostrum near the center of the square, stood up and began to speak.

This legendary strongman was slightly tall and well-proportioned, with a lot of green mixed in his gray hair, which was the result of the strong natural force in his body. His skin was very white, just like a scholar who sat in the study all year round and rarely went out, but the sharp green light flashing from time to time in his gray eyes clearly told everyone that he was by no means a harmless good man.

Lei was too lazy to listen to a word of Joseph's clichéd speeches. But he was very curious about this legendary strongman and had been observing him carefully.

According to the information circulated among the adventurers, City Lord Joseph was a person with profound attainments in both magic and martial arts. His martial arts were excellent, and his magic was even more powerful. He was a very powerful priest. He has been learning from the priests of the Harvest Goddess Church since he was a child, so he is good at using sticks and fighting with bare hands. In terms of spellcasting, it can be confirmed that he has the ability to cast intermediate spells. The appropriate spells combined with his powerful force are simply like adding wings to a tiger.

Admittedly, he has not been able to break through the limits of mortals in either martial arts or spellcasting. In terms of the level of "legendary strongman", he is not really a strong person. But the huge wealth accumulated by the Riley family for generations allows him to tailor a set of extremely powerful equipment for himself, greatly improving his combat effectiveness.

In the past years, he once fought a legendary strongman alone. He was a holy warrior of the Church of the God of Justice. Because he insisted on a fair position and denied the privileges of nobles and big businessmen, he broke into the court and beheaded him on the spot when he tried to judge a noble son who rode a horse to trample civilians for fun. The entire church was uprooted, and nearly 200 people were hanged outside the city of Gars. The bodies were hung on the trees along the road-this happened about ten years ago. The incident was very serious. At least ten churches of good gods condemned him, and he announced that all these churches were unwelcome. Anyone who dared to promote the teachings of these gods in Gars would be hanged.

A small-scale war broke out around that incident. In the end, of course, the Riley family won a complete victory, and Joseph became a strong man famous on the continent. Many people regard him as a representative of nobles and big businessmen, and he has won great honor in this circle.

To be honest, Lei doesn't like this person very much, but he has to admire his strength and decisive determination.

Joseph's speech was not long, and he sat down after finishing it quickly. Then, of course, his eldest daughter, the chief priest of the Harvest Goddess Church, came on stage, read the prayer, and held a grand ceremony to pray for God's grace.

And this is the direct reason why many people came to Gars City to participate in the mining ceremony.

God's grace can heal injuries and make people strong, which is an indispensable luxury for the rich. However, even the lowest level of God's grace ceremony requires hundreds of gold coins, which is completely unacceptable to the poor, so they can only hope to get health from this regular ceremony and heal some of the pain that has troubled them for a long time.

If you look closely, you will find that most of the audience are dressed very shabby, and many people even have pale faces. The weather in early spring is still a bit cold, and many weak people are shivering with cold. In fact, before the mining ceremony every year, many poor people who come to participate will freeze to death on the street because of lack of suitable accommodation and enough food. In the past few days, Lei has seen such a scene more than once.

According to some adventurers who have been active here for a long time, the number of people who died of freezing this year is still relatively small, much less than in previous years...

Thinking of this, Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, full of pity for the miserable lives of these poor people.

He really wanted to do something for these people, but he didn't know where to start.

Even though he had the courage that even dragons would be afraid of, facing this situation, he still felt that he was too weak and powerless.

"Perhaps, it takes the power of His Majesty the Void Mask to practice his beliefs and change those things that he doesn't like..."

But he didn't know that His Majesty the Void Mask was also a little overwhelmed now.

The Shadow Demon King is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with. This guy is not big, but his strength is very fierce. Even Sui Xiong, if hit hard by it, would be in pain and seriously injured. However, Sui Xiong's attacks on it were often dodged by it with the flexibility of its small body and could not be hit.

Of course, for strong men of their level, hand-to-hand combat is just one of the usual powerful means. If melee combat is not good, then switch to magic combat.

The majestic ice magic completely enveloped the area of ​​more than ten miles, and even the space was frozen, producing the effect of a dimensional anchor. Sui Xiong believed that as long as he could suppress the agility advantage of this damn guy, he would be able to catch it sooner or later and tear it to pieces!

However, the Shadow Demon King was very clear about his disadvantages and did not give Sui Xiong the opportunity to completely block the space. It constantly condensed negative energy, like a sharp spear, piercing Sui Xiong's confinement of space, rushing out before the space was completely blocked, but it refused to go far, always wandering within these dozens of miles, fighting and fighting with Sui Xiong.

As a result, the battle became a war of attrition.

In terms of the battle situation, the Shadow King had the upper hand and could leave at any time. Sui Xiong had no good way to imprison him for the time being. However, in terms of combat power, Sui Xiong had an absolute advantage. Whether in terms of the strength of power or his understanding of power, he was superior to the Shadow King. Every time the two sides collided with magic power, he could gain an advantage in the exchange ratio. If he kept consuming like this, victory would be his sooner or later.

But Sui Xiong was full of uneasiness. His anger had subsided a little, and reason had prevailed again. At this time, he couldn't help but wonder-he and the Shadow King were considered to be indifferent to each other, so why was this guy crazy to attack his believers?

Admittedly, most of the guys in the chaotic evil camp were a bit weird, especially those who were extremely chaotic and evil, and more directly crazy. But since the Shadow Demon King can accept the prayers of the villains and successfully complete the transaction with them, it can be seen that he is definitely not a freak like Timsal who is extremely chaotic. There must be a reason for his behavior, and it is a very clear reason, but he just doesn't know it.

... What is the reason?

In the central square of Gars City, He Lili, the head priest of the Harvest Goddess Church, recited the hymn of the goddess with sonorous syllables. The powerful magic jumped and rose on her body, turning into a green light, like a green vine, constantly spreading towards the sky.

This woman has an ordinary appearance, but she has a pair of sharp eyes that people dare not look directly at. Her eyes are full of confidence and pride, like a sword out of the sheath, showing its sharpness.

There is no doubt that she is very strong, which can be seen from the majestic magic vines. But Lei secretly compared it in his heart, and felt that she was not as good as her father Joseph, nor as good as her brother Sheen. Both of them have been able to gather their true power and usually do not show their true strength, especially Xien. Lei had close contact with him several times, but he could not tell that he was a spellcaster. Such a skill is simply terrifying!

If he had to choose one between the two siblings as an opponent, he would rather fight with He Li than with Xien.

After a while, He Li's spell gradually came to an end. The emerald vines had risen into the sky and disappeared in a light cloud that floated over the square at some point.

In an instant, the light cloud was full of emerald light, and a quiet and beautiful country was vaguely revealed in the light. The vast fields were covered with mature rice and fruits, and countless angels sang songs and worked and harvested in them, a scene of bumper harvest.

"This is a projection of the kingdom of the goddess of harvest." Xien said lightly, "No matter how many times I see it, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Lei was shocked, and the hair on his back stood up.

The meaning of Xien's words was too obvious and too shocking. Even though he always prided himself on being bold and daring, he was frightened out of his wits - looking at the situation, it was clear that a war of gods was going to be fought!

At this moment, he almost had the urge to curse. He just came to inquire about the news, but how did he get involved in the dispute between some unknown god and the Goddess of Harvest!

You should know that the Goddess of Harvest is a god of medium power. In the entire system of gods in the main world with the main plane as the core, she can be regarded as a strong one. What kind of terrifying guy would be able to plot against her and want to fight with her!

Lei always boasted that he was quite powerful, but in this level of battle, what was the difference between him and cannon fodder!

Oh my God! God! His Majesty the Void Mask! Can I draw my sword and chop that bastard Xien to death now? What? Can't beat him? Go to hell! I have to fight even if I can't beat him! I'm almost dying because of him!

But it was too late to regret now. He could only draw his sword immediately and prepare for battle, not to fight with Xien, nor to protect this bastard who would make big news whenever he wanted, but to retreat in a hurry, hoping to meet up with his companions as soon as possible.

At the very least, he had to protect everyone. As for other things, who would care about anything else when they saw that they were about to fight a war of gods!

Just as Lei drew his sword in panic, Xien also stood up. He stared coldly at the kingdom of the goddess of harvest that was slowly emerging in the sky, with a dangerous arc at the corner of his mouth, and waved his right hand.

"Please come here, the master of swamps and poisonous fog!"

As soon as the words came out, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky and the earth shook.

The update time is still fixed at 12 o'clock and 20 o'clock, and it cannot be shaken by thunder.
