Chapter 452: Chapter 193 Golden Wheat City_3
The only cause for suspicion is that they are strangers who have just arrived.
There’s no evidence to be found, which makes it meaningless.
After Kana’s simple narration,
everyone thought it seemed very feasible.
After all, as far as we know, the Holy Light Church is more suspicious than they are.
Everyone is aware of the conflict between the Holy Light Church and these nobles.
For Kana and the Night Watchers, it is impossible to act against those nobles, even if it’s clear that they are worshippers of the Evil God.
The noble class as a whole would not permit Kana and the Night Watchers to make any fair judgments.
Even the Holy Light Church within the Cohen Kingdom can’t accomplish this; how could the Night Watchers possess such power?
Yet, seeing these events, the Night Watchers cannot simply allow these nobles to act without restraint.
The solution, then, is straightforward: assassination.
When dealing with these cultists, there’s no need to adhere to even a shred of righteousness or morality.
Only dead cultists are good cultists.
In that moment, it was as if everyone opened the door to a New World.
And the ability to achieve this,
is actually due to the Night Watchers’ strength, which exerts a great suppressive force on non-Void Creatures now.
However, within the Cohen Kingdom, they are almost unqualified for resistance.
The Night Watchers maintain absolute power over most people in the Cohen Kingdom. Not just within Cohen Kingdom, but the Blood Race as well.
It’s only against those at the very top that they can’t exert suppressive force.
But then again, those at the top would not take any action against the Night Watchers.
After all, the Night Watchers have a freely operating ninth-level Dwarf.
And a Child of the World capable of fully utilizing their strength in the Eastern Wilderness.
The top tier power of the Night Watchers isn’t lacking either.
Against ordinary nobles of a small city, even if they worship the Evil God,
a fifth-level team formed as a squad leads only to one-sided slaughter.
"We’ll leave that side to you; we need to join up with the Church and head elsewhere."
Everyone split up, with a few Night Watchers staying in the city.
Kana and his group found Alicia.
Soon, Alicia and Lawrence had organized an elite team.
They left the city.
After walking over ten kilometers, Kana raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
"From here we’ll proceed on foot, to avoid alarming the enemy."
Everyone nodded in agreement, leaving a few behind to take care of the horses, while the rest moved through the bushes.
Soon, on a small hill, they saw a crowd gathered below.
Alongside a small creek,
a group of people sat in a circle.
Inside the circle were two strong men, fighting a vicious battle with weapons.
The ground was already littered with blood.
The watching cultists shouted, cheering wildly.
The battle soon came to an end.
One strong man seized an opportunity, inflicting a wound on his opponent and kicked him to the ground.
With one foot on the opponent’s back, he grabbed his hair with one hand and lifted his head. Then, brutally swung the sword down.
The strike cleaved half of the head, followed by blow after blow.
A torrent of blood spilled forth.
The opponent’s head was severed and held high as he shouted triumphantly.
The surrounding cultists didn’t feel frightened; instead, they shouted excitedly.
Many of these cultists had previously been young men among the refugees brought here.
Yet now they seemed fully integrated, becoming part of the cult.
"Is this their ritual?" Lawrence asked, eyes wide, unable to hold back.
Chopping off the opponent’s head through fighting to receive blessings?
This was his first time witnessing a scene of Evil God’s sacrifice.
Alicia was well acquainted with this Evil God.
Since this Evil God was among the earliest to invade this world, leaving behind numerous records.
Upon hearing Alicia’s description of "Skull Worship Lord,"
Lawrence nodded unconsciously, gaining a vivid impression from the scene below.
Soon, another pair of cultists stood up, gripping their weapons to prepare for battle.
The surrounding shouting resumed.
"Let’s move, first surround them,"
Soon, everyone split up from the hillside, forming a circle and slowly encircling those cultists.
At this moment, the cultists were engrossed watching the bloody fight, their excitement palpable.
Yet, the visibly larger leader seemed to have discovered something, standing up.
With a massive blade in hand.
He glanced back.
Following his action, all the cultists got up.
And they realized then that they had unknowingly been surrounded.
