Chapter 683: Pray to the goddess

"World Tree Game ( to find the latest chapter!
A little bit of experience is credited to the poor, but it has completely failed to attract Yeye's attention.
He looked at the blood still dripping from the tip of the sword, and his whole body was shaking.
Killing demons and hunting monsters are completely different from killing people.
Even Yeye was mentally prepared when he participated in this war mission, but when he personally killed an old woman who rushed up, there was still a slight wave of heart...
If it is a soldier, forget it.
This is an old man.
An old man who is old enough to be his grandmother!
Even if I knew that it was in the game, the five senses that I was completely immersed in, and years of education, still made this boy who is only fifteen or sixteen years old in reality greatly stimulated and shocked...
"Brother Hayate..."
"They... they seem to be... not soldiers..."
The voice of the boy trembled a little.
"I know……"
From the side, there was a deep voice facing the wind.
This bold warrior player looked at the clothes that had just fallen after killing the enemy. His expression of excitement had long since disappeared, but it turned into a solemn face.
Although he is not as overwhelmed as Yeye, he is also in a heavy heart at this moment.
"Elf Country" has been operating in reality for more than a year, and the game has also lasted for nearly five years.
In these countless days and nights, players have long regarded this place not only as a leisure and entertainment game, but also did not regard those lively and interesting NPCs as a set of simple data.
Especially old players.
They will become fetters because of their friendship with NPCs, they will also become close friends with NPCs, and they will even have mutual love and admiration with NPCs...
If the game doesn't have a love system, otherwise... there are probably many players who become partners with NPCs.
Perhaps it seems ridiculous to ordinary people, or it seems absurd to those in reality.
But only players who are immersed in the game can understand that "Elf Country"...for them, it is no longer an ordinary game.
Here is another home for them.
An irreplaceable soul harbor.
Unknowingly, no veteran players will treat game characters in the same way they treat NPCs in other games.
Each game character here has its own story, and everyone is alive.
Even if... the opponent is the enemy.
The old half-orc priest who fought alone to the last moment for the tribe, the lionheart king Imsh who finally stood dead for the race to shed the last drop of blood, and the half-elf Oros who fell into darkness for the goddess...
They all left a deep impression on the players.
So similar, there are too many in the game, every NPC has countless stories behind, some are moving, some are embarrassing.
It is also because of this that when the real identity of the soldier who is attacking the city is sensed, even if it is an adult like Haifeng, he can't help but feel heavy...
Everything that happens in "Elf Land" has a reason.
There are not only reasons, but also corresponding causes and effects.
These people who besieged the city were definitely not born out of thin air like other games, but they themselves are part of the entire game ecology...
They must have their own family and their own lives in the game.
Their life and death will inevitably have a corresponding impact.
For this reason, it is hard not to think of the story behind it in the face of the wind.
If they are soldiers, that's fine. The moment they become soldiers, they should be fully aware of death in battle.
But these people are obviously not.
"They should be villagers in nearby villages... and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled..."
Looking at the clothes and appearance of the siege soldiers, the elf warrior sighed slightly.
"The villagers... why are the villagers who are attacking the city? Are they all believers who are bewitched by the evil god? Or are they controlled?!"
Ye Ye asked back.
Knowing the identities of these people, he felt it was difficult for him to raise the sword to each other again.
The young man quickly put away his weapon and activated his skills [Eye of Faith].
The Eye of Faith was activated, and Yeye's vision suddenly saw the light of faith of the commoners, but it was not the red of the heretics, but almost all of the white of the unbelievers...
The only ones with red light are those with high spirits in the red, and they belong to the faith of the righteous god, not the dark cultists.
"Not a believer in the evil god..."
The boy murmured.
He didn't stop, and continued to release the life-purifying magic to those "soldiers" who were still climbing on the wall...That was what he learned specially after he became a priest.
However, after the purifying light passed, these siege civilians remained unresponsive.
They were still crazy, with despair and fear, rushing towards the players contradictory, and died worthlessly in a very tragic, funny, and pitiful way...
They are not extraordinary, and they can't even touch the corners of the players.
"Neither a believer in evil gods nor a controlled mind, why should he be sent to death?"
Ye Ye said blankly.
"Don't be in a daze, let's continue fighting! I'm afraid this is exactly how the imperial army shakes us!"
Facing the gust of wind, reminded from the side.
Although his face was equally gloomy, he did not stop fighting.
Looking at the civilians who fell one by one under the sword of the elf warrior, Yeye's eyes flashed with strangeness and incomprehension:
"Big Brother Haifeng, isn't our task to save the civilians in the territory and promote the goddess' beliefs? Why..."
"Because it is war."
Facing the wind, let's sigh silently.
"In war, there is no good and evil. Since they have chosen to confront, they are our enemies."
"Not to mention, this is still a game."
He said.
It’s just that it’s more like telling myself.
Taking a deep breath, the elf warrior looked at Ye Ye:
"If you don't get used to it, you can retreat and do logistics. The war in "Elf Kingdom" is indeed a bit hard-core, but... the war is so cruel."
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but don't worry... this is only temporary. After you quit the game, you will feel much better."
Yeye opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
But before him, Nana, the girl who had been silent, spoke first:
"I can't do it, so I'll rest."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked under the city wall.
Ye Ye was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly chased him. After only a few steps, he was attracted by the voice of several militiamen.
"Grandpa Hans, Grandpa Hans, calm down! Calm down! I'm Fein!"
A human young man in his twenties hugged a gray-haired old man with an anxious expression, while the old man had red eyes, struggling constantly...
Ye Ye knew this young man named Fein.
It is said that he was originally a villager in nearby villages and towns. After his parents died, he chose to come to Orgs City to make a living. Then he encountered war and was called up as a soldier by the Red Maple Kingdom.
However, after the player captured the city, he soon converted to the goddess' belief under the propaganda of the players, became a devout believer, and took the initiative to help the players defend the city...
Yeye also received his help once. When he and Nina were visiting Orgs City, they couldn't find the blacksmith's shop. At the time, they were the way they helped and led the way, and they were very enthusiastic.
"Kill me! Let me die! Let me die! Kill me! Let me die!"
The old man in the arms of the young man kept struggling, his voice was hoarse, and his expression was hopeless.
Obviously, this is a "soldier" who has just climbed the city wall.
"Why? Why are you? Calm down! You still have Sabina and Marcus!"
Young Fein persuaded.
Hearing what he said, the old man immediately burst into tears:
"Dead! Sabina has been killed by them! If I don't die...Marcus will be killed by them..."
"Woo...Kill me! Little Fein, please let me die! Let me die! So that little Marcus can live!"
Looking at the crying old man and the flustered young man, Yeye's eyes widened, at a loss.
At this moment, a player dressed in a costume suddenly appeared behind the old man.
He stretched out his hand to point at the old man, and muttered a spell silently, which made the old man fall asleep.
It's the All-Star A Chan.
"Brother Chan!"
Ye Ye shouted subconsciously.
All-star A Chan glanced at him, nodded at him, and then continued to focus on the old man.
He raised the old man's sleeve, glanced at the old man's wrist, and frowned slightly.
"Master Elf, what's the matter with Grandpa Hans? He's not like this... He wasn't like this before! What's the matter with what he said to die?!"
Young Fein asked anxiously.
All-star A Chan looked serious:
"It's a blood contract..."
"Blood Deed?!"
"Yes, he was forcibly signed a blood contract for siege to death... and it is a two-way blood contract. If he does not die, the person on the other side of the blood contract will die..."
All-star A Chan said solemnly.
As he said, his expression gradually became heavier:
"These people are forced to be the cannon fodder for the siege."
"This... how is this possible!?"
The face of the young militia was pale.
Then, clenched his fists:
"These evil... nobles!"
He gritted his teeth.
Ye Ye was also in a daze, and then couldn't help asking:
"Brother Chan, then... can this blood bond be unlocked?"
"It's hard..."
All-star A Chan shook his head.
"The blood contract will disappear only after the contract is fulfilled or broken from the moment it is signed."
He sighed.
But after hearing the words of All-Star A Chan, the young militia was refreshed:
"But... it's not difficult for you, that is to say there is a way?!"
"Yes, yes."
All-star A Chan nodded.
He took a deep breath and said:
"There is only one Elven Forest that can nullify the blood contract, and that is the goddess of life, under Eve's crown."
"We used to play in the Forest of Elves... Elves encountered a similar situation. It is said that in the end it was the goddess who bestowed purification power to help unlock the blood contract."
"So... I can only pray to the goddess to get her response."
...
Outside the city of Augus, the garrison of the Red Maple Kingdom Army.
Otto stood on the hillside, sometimes looking at the "army" constantly surging towards the city of Augus, and sometimes reaching out and staring at a dark gray badge to check repeatedly.
The badge was given to him by Anos. It was an artifact that could sense and gather the life force and soul within a radius of 20 kilometers, and directly sacrifice it to the Lord of the artifact, the of dusk and sunset. Anos.
However, looking at the badge, Otto's brows gradually frowned, and a trace of confusion and puzzlement flashed across his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at the tall and thin noble behind him, Viscount Wells, the current owner of the Wells family:
"Carl, how many people are there?"
Carl was pale and looked at Otto with fear and awe. He couldn't help shivering and stammered:
"Your... Your Majesty, almost... there are almost... twenty thousand..."
Otto frowned slightly:
"Are there any more people?"
"No... no more... time is pressing... plus... plus the prisoners we captured, and the villagers caught in the nearby villages, this is all the people over 40 years old... the nearby villages, No one can see anymore."
Carl hesitated and said.
After speaking, he hesitated again and asked carefully:
"That... Your... Your Majesty... We are like this... Are we a bit too... too..."
Otto gave him a cold look:
"Too what?"
Carl opened his mouth and finally swallowed:
"No...nothing..."
Otto retracted his gaze and turned his gaze to the city again, and when he saw the lack of progress and the life force shown on the badge, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com frowned even deeper.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said:
"Send those young villagers up too and tell them that if they don't die, their elders will die and their children will be sacrifices."
Carl was stunned.
He hesitated and stammered:
"But... but your Majesty, haven't their elders been sent there?"
Otto didn't answer his words any more, but gave him a cold look, seeing Carl throbbing in his heart.
The high priest who was accompanying him quickly said to him:
"Master Viscount, those young villagers don't know that their elders have gone to die, so... if you tell them, they will do their best."
Carl opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Instead, he nodded in panic and bit his scalp back.
But after a while, there was another commotion in front of the army, and a large number of new civilians were pushed out...
This time, their average age is much younger.
The riots loomed among the civilians, but were quickly suppressed by the soldiers.
Under the pressure of the heavily armed guards, the civilians took up their swords and rushed towards Orgs City again...
The battle started again.
However, watching the battle underneath the wall in the distance, watching the badge gleaming with dim light in his hand, the red maple king Otto's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper.
"Strange... the soul power is okay, why does the life power grow so slowly?"
"Could it be true that only the lives of extraordinary people can be sacrificed?"
He muttered a little puzzled.
And when Otto was puzzled, suddenly, there was a violent energy fluctuation in the direction of Augus City...
