Enforcer's Handbook

"I'm going to the town square. Here's this book for you. Just stay here and don't go out. They don't know you're in town."

Paladin gave his final instructions and hurriedly left the house. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said, "If I can't come back, this book should help you find the location of the Tide Church... Also, remember Keep our promise."

The "Emperor" watched Paladin go away.

However, he did not remember that he had made any agreement with the other party. If the other party was referring to using those empty boats to send the people in the town outside, then the old man was probably destined to be disappointed.

The mechanical army was not his companions, and they were not necessarily the saviors Paladin imagined.

But he couldn't ask for more from an old man who had lived on an isolated island all his life and never left.

"You said before that you wanted to liberate the people in the town?"

he asked.

What happened on the island was getting more and more out of his control. This was also the first time that the "Emperor" discovered that the power of the six-star rescuer was so insignificant. In the battle for the road, there was really a limit to what he could change.

Diego nodded firmly.

This is not only the mission entrusted to him by God the Father in his understanding, but also the emotion in his heart.

He thinks the people in the town shouldn't live like this.

"I'm afraid this matter is much more difficult than you think. I have seen similar things before."

It was also a backward and dilapidated town located in the "outside world". The survivors were lingering in the town. A church that was as absurd as the Tidal Church controlled the town. The "Emperor" guessed that these people all liked to use the name of "god" I'm afraid they found out that this was more conducive to their brainwashing work.

The rule of power and faith can make those ruled by them stay in peace.

Of course, there is no shortage of people with a spirit of resistance in this world. "I also met people like Paladin and you in that small town. They ran among the crowd and called on people to see the true face of the church."

However, the "Emperor" only learned about the rebel's deeds later.

"Did he succeed?"

"No."

"Emperor" said, "When I arrived in the town, there was a headless corpse on the execution platform in the square. Later I heard about that man's deeds from other people. The residents took the initiative to tie him up and hand him over. He gave it to the local church to execute him, and later they hung his head outside the town as a warning to everyone.”

Having said this, he took the lead to walk out the door.

The Tide Cultists' work of counting the number of people is almost completed. Before dawn, they will tie the sacrifices to the fishing boats and send them to the sea.

Diego seemed to have anticipated what was about to happen and took the initiative to follow him.

“In the ‘outside world,’ things like this happen every day, so I learned enough from it.”

The "Emperor" faced the lights of the town square, "If you want to overthrow them, it is not enough to rely on temporary determination. It will only accelerate your own destruction."

His prosthetic eyes glowed red. At this moment, all the Tide Cultists were recognized by the prosthetic eyes, making them invisible even in the dark.

Soon, the people in the town and the Tide Cultists discovered their existence.

A cry of exclamation broke out among the believers. Those who had seen the power of the mechanical army instinctively wanted to flee here, but the leader of the believers silenced everyone. He stared at the "Emperor" and the people following him. Diego.

He was playing with weird "magic" that the "Emperor" had never seen before.

This "spell" did play a certain role. Those obscure hymns made dark clouds hang over their heads. This was a very long process, so much so that the "Emperor" believed that this high priest of the Church of Tides should be rare. Encountered a real battle.

Because on a real battlefield, this "casting time" is enough for the high priest to be killed countless times.

However, out of politeness and curiosity, he did not interrupt the other party. When the high priest finally finished "casting the spell", a bolt of lightning finally fell from the rolling dark clouds and fell on the "Emperor".

This vision of heaven and earth seemed to evoke the fear imprinted in the genes of the residents, and they crawled to the ground in fear.

The high priest sneered as he looked at the smoke and dust rising due to the lightning. No one could withstand the wrath of his master.

He enjoyed the eyes of the residents, which always made him truly feel the majesty of his status as "Messenger of God."

But soon, the sneer solidified on his face.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the pair of scarlet prosthetic eyes that were still shining deep in the smoke. To them, this was tantamount to a symbol of the devil.

In fact, when dark clouds enveloped the town, the "Emperor" had already guessed the purpose of the high priest. The built-in operating system even calculated its power and possible damage before the thunder fell.

"0%, this is the probability that you can hurt me."

The high priest wanted to say something, but suddenly he found that his feet became extremely heavy, and even breathing became extremely difficult, let alone speaking.

Even though he tried his best to support his body, he still couldn't stop the process of his body being pushed down.

After about two or three seconds, his body was finally overwhelmed and knelt on the ground. The normally aloof Tide Cultists also followed the high priest's footsteps and knelt down in front of the "Emperor" under the pressure of gravity. Their expressions varied, ranging from fear to disbelief.

As messengers of God, they actually knelt before the enemies of their master.

The increasing gravity did not seem to let them go. He could no longer look directly at the "Emperor" because their heads hit the ground hard, and they clearly saw that even the ground beneath their feet was dented. .

This hit was enough to turn the high priest's face into a bloody mess.

The bridge of his nose was broken, his mouth was filled with dirt, and he felt as if his eyeballs might pop out of their sockets at any time.

The shadow of death hung over him.

"Don't, don't kill me!"

The messenger of God used his last strength and shouted.

This time, even the residents of the town showed expressions of disbelief. He once suspected that he was hallucinating. How could the master's messenger beg for mercy from his enemy?

The high priest's begging for mercy did have an effect, weakening their suppressive power a bit, and he finally took this opportunity to breathe heavily.

No, this is not a plea for mercy.

It is a method used to confuse the enemy. He believes that the master will understand his plan.

As he expected, the enemy fell into the trap. The iron guy thought he had won, so he came to him and looked down at him with condescending eyes.

"Tell me everything you know."

The "Emperor" ordered in an unquestionable tone.

He did not expect that the high priest would beg for mercy. He thought that the followers of the Lord of Tides had long been so fanatical that they were willing to give up their lives for their master, but the person in front of him was obviously a weakling.

"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

The high priest said repeatedly.

From his story, the "Emperor" learned the basic situation of the Church of Tides. The reason why the residents of the island could not find it was because it was located at the bottom of the sea in the center of the archipelago, which was also the site of the Sunken Kingdom. Its area It has long surpassed the concept of a church, and is more like an independent country.

The high-ranking councilors who fled from District 1 are there now, being treated as honored guests by the church.

However, only those who are protected by the Lord of Tides can cross the deep sea and reach the church. Anyone else who tries to break into the church will be crushed by the monsters that live in the deep sea.

The high priest was so cooperative that he even explained the details that he didn't ask about.

Is this out of a strong will to survive, or...

The commotion from the town interrupted the interrogation. Naturally, the high priest heard the noise coming, and suddenly his face changed, showing a sinister expression, "Idiot! A fool like you will never reach the church. Because you are going to die here soon!"

Deep in the mist, a huge creature loomed.

The enthusiasm finally returned to the eyes of the high priest again, "The master's messenger is here! I almost forgot to tell you that the real purpose of those rituals just now is to summon the messenger here."

Unlike the high priests and tide cultists, the unknown creatures lurking in the depths of the ocean are the true messengers of the Lord of Tides.

He trusts His creation more than humans.

The monster that emerged from the depths of the fog was larger than the entire town. Its huge body jumped out of the sea and set off a tsunami tens of meters high.

The strong fishy smell swept through the town like a typhoon, and the sea monster opened its huge mouth, seeming to swallow the entire town and the land under their feet into its belly.

"You are finished, you are completely finished!"

The high priest looked up at the figure covering the sky above his head, and his tone gradually became crazy.

The people in the town were already numb. They heard the noise, came to the street and looked up like zombies, quietly waiting for the moment when they would be swallowed into their stomachs.

The "Emperor" looked solemnly at the giant shadow.

It is not difficult to escape from the sea monster's attack range. What is difficult is how to keep the residents of the town safe.

He saw Paladin coming to the street, shouting to warn people to leave the town, but the people around him ignored his warning as if they had lost their souls.

The tsunami reached the town first.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the land beneath their feet was swallowed up by the waves.

But the "Emperor" immediately noticed something unusual - they seemed to be only visually submerged by the tsunami. They were actually still standing where they were, and even their clothes were not wet.

He suddenly thought of something and looked at Diego not far away.

The latter closed their eyes tightly and said nothing until the sea monster's huge body crashed into them.

But just like a tsunami, the falling sea monster penetrated straight through their bodies.

The "Emperor" can clearly see every detail of the sea monster. They are so close, but they seem to be separated by a distance of time and space.

The high priest's wild laughter was gradually replaced by doubts.

He clearly saw that the master's envoys had swallowed up the entire town, but why were they still standing here? Can you even clearly perceive everything around you?

"God the Father said..."

Diego slowly opened his eyes and looked at the high priest, "Despicable villains are destined to fail no matter what they do."
