Chapter 903 Rescue V
Far away in the big tent of the city-state camp.
Dean sat aside, Dro Thunder and Sommer, the captain of the Sixth Squadron of the Thunder City Guard Corps who escaped from the prisoner-of-war camp, were talking in detail.
The two did not lower their voices, and Dean could hear them clearly
"How's it going in Thunder City?"
Dro Thunder asked eagerly.
This was the first prisoner they encountered who had escaped from Thunder City when they entered Thunder City, and they were soldiers.
To put it simply, Dro Thunder has high expectations for the subordinates in front of him.
He wanted more news.
"very bad"
Sommer said with a serious face: "We prisoners of war and civilians were detained separately. After our organization was disrupted, we were detained in the original barracks of Thunder City. About 2,000 to 3,000 people were taken away every day. Go to the blood sacrifice, and among the civilians there are equally strong and strong people who are pulled out of the blood sacrifice, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled will be fed to monsters, but the civilians are too far away from where I am being held, and I cannot determine the specific number..."
"asshole"
Dro Leiting cursed through gritted teeth.
Nearly 5,000 people are sacrificed in blood every day, which is like cutting flesh and bone to Dro Lei Ting, who vowed to protect his subjects.
However, even in anger, Dro Thunder did not lose his mind.
Take a deep breath.
Dro Thunder continued to ask: "There was a riot in Thunder City, what's going on?"
"It's a monster"
A look of panic suddenly appeared on Suo Mo's face, and it took a long time before he calmed down the fear in his heart, and continued to say: "Those monsters don't know what happened, they suddenly rioted and attacked regardless of the enemy or ourselves. Humans, whether it's us or the guys from Sunset City, only know how to kill"
"No distinction between the enemy and me?"
Dro Lei Ting was taken aback.
The monster, the accompanying creature of the blood sacrifice, is an extremely twisted creature.
But he will be loyal to the person who presides over the blood sacrifice.
Otherwise, if such a large-scale blood sacrifice was carried out like Sunset City-State, many monsters would appear, if they did not obey the order. It would only be suicidal.
Regarding monsters, this is the experience summed up by Defendilan people for countless years.
Although twisted creatures, there is always a chance to encounter them.
And there's no shortage of deranged people anywhere.
So, about the cognition of monsters. Defendilan is quite complete.
"Well, yes, there is no distinction between friend and foe. Moreover, they are not for food, but for killing... There is not enough food, the monsters are so weak, and they even disappear in the end, but in the previous riots, those guys had no intention of eating at all, just The non-stop killing corpses are discarded at will. It completely covered Thunder City."
Sommer nodded and said seriously.
"Did you see anything special in it?"
Dean on the side suddenly interjected.
"Something special?"
Dro Thunder had already introduced Dean's identity, so Sommer was not annoyed by Dean's intervention. On the contrary, he thought about Dean's words seriously.
It's just that the range of words Dean gave was too big, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"It can be any special thing, light and sound explosion, or sudden fear in the heart, etc."
Dean explained in more detail.
"I'm sorry. Lord Saint, it was too chaotic at that time. I didn't have time to take care of so many, the most special place. I'm afraid it was the riot of monsters?"
Suo Mo thought carefully, and finally shook his head.
This is not evasion or perfunctory.
Dean knew very well what it felt like to be captured by the enemy, not just the physical torture, but the fear in his heart was enough to make a qualified fighter vulnerable.
However, Dean is equally sure that the monster riot is definitely not a coincidence.
After killing the monsters, one can obtain the huge power of faith transformed by the power of rules. For the species of monsters, Dean had a detailed understanding of it.
With Dro Lei Ting's candid notification, Dean naturally knows the monsters very well at this moment.
First of all, monsters are the accompanying creatures of the blood sacrifice, which has a periodic nature.
Normally, it takes four weeks to be born.
Secondly, whether the monsters are strong or not is entirely related to the number of blood sacrifices.
In other words, the more people involved in the blood sacrifice, the stronger the accompanying monsters will be.
Finally, and most importantly, monsters will be loyal to the blood sacrificer from the beginning of their birth, until they die in battle or starve to death.
That's right, monsters will starve to death.
Their huge size and distorted will make them seem like a machine that keeps devouring them.
From the beginning of birth, began to eat non-stop.
Once you stop eating, it will rapidly weaken until it eventually disappears.
In fact, if it weren't for this feature, the so-called blood sacrifice would not be banned in Defendilan at all.
Because, monsters are so useful
A blood sacrifice of 3,000 to 5,000 people is enough to create an army-level monster with a population of 40,000 to 50,000.
What a bargain.
Of course, if the amount of food is included, it seems a bit tasteless.
Unless it is supported by war.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to feed monsters with huge appetites.
What the hell is going on?
Dean, who was thinking about the characteristics of monsters, frowned slightly.
He can be sure that something must have happened to make the monster violate the rules of the blood sacrifice.
And this happened...
Mobius?
Morthill?
Hawk Dass?
Lionel?
These four guys who stepped into the Mystery of God and entered the real Defendilan, but disappeared, are the most likely and capable of doing such things in Dean's mind.
Needless to say, Mobius, everything in front of him is a trap designed by the other party to deal with false gods.
And some of the characteristics of the two false gods of Motsir Hokdas are war killings, especially the former, which itself claims to represent war killings.
Therefore, these two false gods are also possible.
As for Lionel?
Although this false god claims to pursue truth.
But Dean absolutely does not believe that the other party will really only pursue the truth and not pay attention to other things.
If this is the case, the other party will not participate in this so-called war, but act as an existence similar to a hermit.
therefore. The anomalies in Thunder City, the four existences of Mobius Motsir, Hawk Dass and Lionel are all suspected.
It's just that Dean can't be sure now.
Moreover, if it is really one or a few of the four existences who did such a thing. Dean had to revise his plans.
The original plan of waiting will definitely not work.
While Dean was thinking, the conversation between Dro Thunder and Sommer did not stop
"How many prisoners escaped?"
Dro Thunder asked him about the most relevant things.
"The barracks where no less than 20,000 people were imprisoned us was set on fire. The defenders of the Sunset City State panicked. Our captains directly summoned the old department to fight with those guys. If it weren't for the past two weeks, we didn't have enough food and water. If the loss of physical strength is too great, maybe we can recapture Thunder City from the previous riots.”
Sommer said regretfully.
"However, there are also many elite defenders in the Sunset City-state. After the initial panic, they immediately suppressed us and caused us heavy losses. That guy, Mod, is really a bastard! The people who don’t fight can’t escape without fighting. That guy is also uncomfortable, the people he leads are all his subordinates, and it can be said that the system is complete, and the guys from Sunset City will definitely take care of him.”
Sommer's words were inexplicable.
There is anger, but also a little blessing.
Obviously, he didn't really hold a grudge against the man named Maude.
"Mode? Captain of the Second Squadron of the Thunder City Guard Corps?"
Dro Lei Ting thought of the civilian officer after a little thought.
A serious, generous, and brave subordinate.
"Well, it's that guy, have you seen him, Your Highness?"
Sommer nodded. asked immediately.
"No"
Dro Thunder shook his head.
"Is that so? That guy may have taken another route. He's so smart, and his strength is not bad, so nothing will happen to him."
Sommer felt sad for a while. Then, as if to comfort himself, he said again and again.
"Well, Maude may have taken another route. I have arranged for people to search in a roundabout way. Once they find something, they will be brought to Somme. You take the others to rest first. There are plenty of people here. Food and water, and then, after gathering more people, we will return to Helm City"
Dro Thunder said.
"Return to Helm City? Then... yes, Your Highness"
Sommer subconsciously wanted to say something, but finally chose to obey the order.
"Your soldiers are not willing to lose, they want to return to Thunder City"
Dean looked at the back of Sommer leaving, and when the latter completely disappeared behind the tent curtain, he said to Dro Thunder lightly.
"I am not reconciled to failure, I also want to return to Thunder City... But, at the same time, I know that I still need to gather strength and now there are nearly 20,000 escaped prisoners that I need to find."
Dro Leiting said in a deep voice.
"Um"
Dean nodded and said nothing more.
With the determination to protect his subjects, Dro Thunder naturally knew what he could and couldn't do.
There is no need for him to mention these things, nor is it his turn to say something.
However, he naturally has things that need to be done by himself.
"Master Saint, you?"
Dro Leiting looked at Dean who stood up, and asked with a look of surprise.
"I need to go to Thunder City"
Dean said so.
"What? This is too dangerous"
Dro Lei was startled, and immediately retorted loudly.
