"Ah @ # ¥@ # … Ah ¥@ # @ …" In the dungeon in the dungeon, the owner of the city, Gustani, was screaming in pain. Although no one could understand what he was saying, the scream was more real. Everyone knew that this guy was in extreme pain.
Yes, the one who was currently interrogating Gustani was the Master of Interrogations, Tesmog. Needless to say, Tesmog was really good at interrogations. Previously, the methods that the foremen used on Gustani were just beating him up. Of course, it was more effective on the slaves, but the Sechtor monsters had thick skin and flesh. With the foremen's abilities, they couldn't do anything to them. It would be strange if they could confess after beating him up for a long time.
However, Tesmog was different. Although Li Huailin couldn't really understand, he could roughly guess that Tesmog was using some kind of Mind Whip magic. Basically, Tesmog threw a green halo at Gustani, and Gustani screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Gustani's hands were now leaning against the wall with steel rings. He was also pulling the steel rings so hard that they were clanging, as if they could break at any time. This also showed how much pain Gustani was in.
"Good, good, good …" Li Huailin couldn't help but give Tesmog a thumbs up. His title of Master of Interrogations was really wrong. Tesmog was really talented. Look at Gustani's situation, he probably wouldn't last long.
Indeed, after a while, Rehnquist, who was waiting at the side, said to Li Huailin, "Your Majesty, he said he's willing to confess."
"Eh? So fast? " Li Huailin looked at Gustani, "It's only been a while. Could he be faking it? Tesmog, give him a bit more time to think about it."
"Oh, yes, Your Majesty." Tesmog nodded and cast another round of spells on Gustani. Gustandy was screaming his lungs out. Was he really willing to confess? But no matter what he said, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He just kept on electrocuting him. He really hadn't tasted the power of this kind of magic. It was really painful, and he couldn't bear it at all. Moreover, he couldn't faint. Every time he was electrocuted, he felt more awake. It was really too painful. It was really worse than death.
Gustadi finally saw how ruthless these outsiders were. He had shouted that he was going to attack, but they didn't stop. They electrocuted him a dozen more times. After the electrocution, Gustadi felt like he had lost all feeling in his body. His entire body was numb, and he couldn't feel the other parts of his body. His consciousness was also very hazy, and he couldn't even tell if he was alive or dead.
"Your Majesty, it's about time," Tesmog said, looking at Gustandy's condition.
"Oh, start asking." Li Huailin nodded, "Let him tell me what he knows."
Although Rehnquist was only watching from the side, he was also scared half to death. He didn't expect the continent's emperor to be so ruthless. As expected of the king of the continent. This level of ruthlessness was not just for show. Of course, he didn't dare to think too much about it. He quickly began to translate and communicate with the confused Gustandy.
Li Huailin listened to Rehnquist's introduction and roughly understood the situation. First of all, this Gustandy really was related to the church here. This church that worshipped Byakee was called the Korans Church. It was a huge church because all the Sector monsters on the continent were considered believers of this church. After all, there was no freedom of religion here. If you didn't believe in this church, then you would be a heretic. How could you not believe in it?
However, Gustandy wasn't a normal believer. He also had a position in the church, called an apostle. It was similar to the position of a priest in the Church of Light. It wasn't a high position, just a little higher than a normal member of the church. Of course, his highest position wasn't because of this position, but because he knew a high-ranking apostle.
A high-ranking apostle's position was similar to a cardinal's position in the Church of Light. Normally, it was the head of a region. The high-ranking apostle that Gustandy knew was called Digamus. The two of them were relatives. Digamus was Gustandy's elder, so of course, he took special care of him. When the port city Setotis was choosing a city lord, Digamus, who had the power to make decisions, sent his junior, Gustandy, to the position. Of course, Gustandy was very grateful to this elder, so the two of them had a lot of interactions.
Rehnquist had only seen the church send people once. In fact, both sides had sent people many times, and Gustandy knew a lot about the internal situation of the church. Li Huailin had asked the right person.
Li Huailin's guess was right. This big city on the map was the headquarters of the church, which was also the capital of this theocratic country. Gustandy had lived there for a period of time, so he was a little familiar with the place.
As the capital, Hildears City was very large, even comparable to the human race's Blessed City. This city was also the holy city of the church, so all the Byakee worshippers wanted to settle down here. Therefore, the population of the city was at least a million. At the same time, as the political and military center, the number of soldiers in the city was also astonishing. According to Gustandy, because the city was full of loyal believers, as long as the leader of the church gave the order, all the people could participate in the battle. The number of soldiers was a little ridiculous.
Gustandy continued to introduce the Kelans Church. This church covered the entire continent, so he mainly talked about the situation of the upper echelons. First of all, the leader of the church, everyone called him an apostle. It was said that he could hear the will of Byakee. His real name … was unknown, and Gustandy had never seen him before. His direct subordinates were high-ranking apostles. There were a total of 12 of them. Including his relative Digamus, Gustandy had only seen three of them. These 13 people were the ruling group of the entire continent. According to Gustani, no one on this continent would disobey the orders of the Kirrans Church, so going against them meant going against the entire continent. If it wasn't for Tesmog's interrogation, Gustani wouldn't have confessed even if he was beaten to death.
The rest was about Byakee. In fact, although they had worshipped Byakee since they were young, they didn't know much about Byakee. It was similar to the God that Li Huailin and the others believed in. Although many people in the Radiant Church worshipped the Radiant God, no one knew the name of the Radiant God, what he looked like, what he liked, and how strong he was. For them, it was more of a representation.
However, Gustandy also provided a piece of information. His relative Digamus told him that something big was going to happen, but he didn't say what it was. According to Li Huailin's judgment, this big thing should be related to Byakee's awakening. It seemed like this high-ranking apostle knew something.
After asking all these questions, Gustandy collapsed on the ground, unable to speak. Of course, he had asked all the questions he wanted. Li Huailin felt that Gustandy's words were trustworthy. Indeed, something as big as Byakee's awakening couldn't be known by any passerby. Gustandy's ability to say so much was beyond Li Huailin's imagination. It seemed like he was lucky to have caught someone who knew some insider information.
However, after listening to Gustandy, everyone's expression didn't look too good. From the information they had received so far, it seemed like they were going to face a huge monster.
"It seems like there are a lot of Sektor monsters, more than we expected," Anthony said. "Especially in Hildears City. If there are more than a million Sektor monsters, and all of them can be used as combat power, our army won't be enough."
"Mhm." Tesmog nodded. "Currently, we only have 300,000 troops. Just based on individual combat power, there's already a gap between us and these Sektor Star Beasts. The only reason we're able to win is because of the difference in numbers. Without this numerical advantage, I think it'll be very difficult for us to defeat them."
"It seems like our target should be Hildears City, but we don't have enough troops. What should we do, Huailin? Should we send more reinforcements?" Anthony asked. "I've already asked the first army to prepare. The Human Empire can send at least 100,000 more troops."
"Mn..." Li Huailin gave it some thought. "It's no wonder that so many players from different servers are needed to come to this Darkness Continent. So the final target's army is so huge. The military strength of a single continent really isn't enough to handle all of them."
Yes, Li Huailin now knew why this mission was a server-wide mission. It was already good enough for a single continent to gather 300,000 troops, but if the armies of every server gathered, they would have a numerical advantage when they attacked the enemy's capital. However, apart from Hua Xia, the other continents hadn't completed the previous mission yet. It would take too long to wait.
"But our mission isn't to occupy Hildears City, right? It's to stop Byakee," Li Huailin said after some thought. "Should I go there and check out the situation first?"
