Voley Eye let out a sigh of relief.
Falling into the hands of Wutu Town's militia was better than falling into the hands of this unfathomable outsider.
After all, the power behind him still had a certain amount of potential influence in Wutu Town.
Maybe he could even use this opportunity to bite back at this outsider.
Voley Eye thought this in his heart, then glanced at Bai Xiaowen.
He met Bai Xiaowen's eyes.
Suddenly, Voley Eye felt a wave of dizziness, as if the other party's eyes were shooting out a yellow light.
This yellow light could only be seen by Voley Eye himself.
Then, a powerful will pierced through his eyes, straight into his brain!
Voley Eye was shocked and frightened, instinctively wanting to shout out loud, but this deep will was extremely powerful, instantly taking away his autonomy.
From an outsider's point of view, Voley Eye's whole body was suddenly twitching, and nothing more.
Bai Xiaowen's Book of Peace had already been cultivated to a very proficient level. Facing a target like Voley Eye, he didn't even need to make a casting motion, he only needed to think about it in his mind, and automatically cast the corresponding spell talisman to achieve the effect of control.
Although the power didn't increase by much, it became more covert.
This Voley Eye, with his weak strength, was obviously not some mastermind, but just a small fry pushed to the front stage.
Bai Xiaowen was also worried that the power behind Voley Eye would have further tricks up their sleeves, so he simply controlled Voley Eye.
Morrison and the other militiamen escorted Voley Eye to Wutu Town's militia camp. Wutu Town didn't have a prison, so they could only interrogate him in the militia camp.
Bai Xiaowen slightly closed his eyes, flipping through Voley Eye's memory fragments in his mind.
"Hmm … Although it's a bit disjointed, but the key information, time, place, and mastermind, is still considered complete."
Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes.
The crowd of townspeople bowed to Bai Xiaowen, expressing their apologies, but even more people wanted to curry favor with him.
Bai Xiaowen simply responded with a few words, then returned to the mental hut.
"You used mental magic on that person."
Suddenly, Miko-sama Kelowan looked up from a pile of ancient books and said softly.
Bai Xiaowen didn't try to hide it. He nodded and said, "You can actually tell. You're not simple."
Kelowan said, "Back then, you used the same mental spell in the demon's lair, but the target was the demons. So today, although your movements were very subtle, I still saw the difference. "
"As expected of the Witch of Wu Tu Town," Bai Xiaowen said calmly. "Do you have any objections to my actions?"
Kelowan shook his head. "That man has ulterior motives. I can understand why you used mental magic on him. However, I hope that you won't rely too much on spiritual magic, especially not to use it against humans. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "I'm already using it carefully."
Pausing for a moment, Bai Xiaowen explained, "Even though that guy was taken away for interrogation, there must still be accomplices in Wutu Town. Who knows, they might even be in cahoots with the demons. After I controlled him, I made him tell me the truth as soon as possible so that we could carry out the next step of the plan … "
"What plan?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "Wipe out all the forces of the Ancient God Cult in Wutu Town and all the human gathering places!"
…
The Ancient God Cult was a deformed cult. It could be said to be the chronic disease of the human society in the Dark Continent.
Bai Xiaowen clearly caught the mastermind from the memory fragments of the vole-eyed man. It was a priest of the Ancient God Cult!
And the truth was just as Bai Xiaowen expected. When the vole-eyed man was brought to the militia camp for interrogation, the Ancient God Cult also actively launched a self-rescue operation. A militia under the influence of the Ancient God Cult secretly brought a bottle of poison to the temporary prison and brought the priest's instructions.
"Mo Wei, it's time for you to sacrifice yourself for the Ancient God. After you die, you will be accepted by the Ancient God and be reborn as a demon …"
This promise was equivalent to fart. Even if it wasn't fulfilled, Mo Wei couldn't do anything about it.
If Bai Xiaowen didn't control the vole-eyed man, Mo Wei, with his devotion to the Ancient God Cult, he would definitely drink the poison.
Then, the Ancient God Cult could say that Mo Wei committed suicide by taking poison.
However, the Ancient God Cult miscalculated.
Mo Wei didn't commit suicide. Instead, he confessed everything in the interrogation room.
…
At the militia camp in Wutu Town.
Helbart finally came back with good news.
The battle record of killing the King of Calamity was too shocking (with the king-level magic core as proof). In addition to Helbart's reputation and persuasiveness, the other human settlements didn't have much doubt and believed that the appearance of the "Savior" Christos was real.
Then, the other human settlements sent out their commanders of their armed forces — "big shots" like Helbart, the militia instructor, and came to Wutu Town.
The Spiritual Hut didn't accept outsiders, so the meeting location was changed to the militia camp in Wutu Town.
"Now that the King of Calamity is dead! Lord Christos, does this mean that we don't have to worry about the King of Calamity's minions coming to our door? "
The person who spoke was called Humphrey. He was a middle-aged man with a thick body. His arms were thicker than an average person's thighs. He was also one of the leaders of another settlement, Naha Town, and was in charge of military affairs.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and looked around the room. Including Helbart, there were a total of five representatives from the five human settlements.
"Let me tell you a secret. Please keep it a secret … Currently, the territory of the King of Calamity is under the control of a few of my strongest undead summoned creatures, and they have been promoted to the Silver King. However, it won't be long before their identities arouse suspicion. We have to be prepared to face the Silver King … "
"Why?" Humphrey asked in shock.
Bai Xiaowen calmly explained, "Because the demons that I killed can't be reborn! Especially those demons with average strength, their rebirth period is very short. After a few months, if the corresponding demons aren't reborn, it will definitely arouse the Silver King's suspicion! He only needs to investigate a little, and he will know that these demons that can't be reborn all died in this battle … "
The leaders and representatives from all over the place were silent.
Helbart said, "Lord Christos is right. We can't take any chances. We have to find a way to deal with the Silver King!"
"Sigh, actually, I'm already prepared for this," Humphrey said. "In our town of Naha, there are people dying in the hands of demons every month. There was a demon siege the year before last, which caused the town of Naha to have no choice but to move … We've had enough of such days."
The representatives of the other settlements also expressed their agreement.
The joint plan was going smoothly.
Bai Xiaowen inexplicably thought of a sentence: "The world has suffered for a long time."
It was not that the humans of the Dark Age did not want to destroy the demons, but the demons were too powerful and had the characteristic of unlimited rebirth. Humans had no other choice but to be cowardly. For example, Mayor Kelly should be a representative of this.
For this reason, there was even a deformed product of the "Ancient God Cult" in human society, worshiping the demons that represented chaos and destruction as gods.
However, the demons' oppression of humans always existed. This contradiction was irreconcilable. As long as humans were given a little hope of victory, there would be a group of brave humans who would stand up and respond to the demons in a fight to the death.
Of course, there were brave humans, but there were also cowardly and even despicable humans.
When the hope of victory had appeared, the humans who believed in the demons not only did not dare to resist, but also forced others to not resist. They became the demons' accomplices and would rather be "traitors" …
Such despicable behavior was not uncommon in any era.
And in the dimension of the Dark Age, such a human group was the "Ancient God Cult."
At this time, Helbart was already discussing the alliance with Humphrey and the others.
"I propose that Lord Christos be the commander of the alliance army and lead us to resist the demons and destroy the Silver King."
"I agree."
"Seconded."
Everyone had a matter-of-fact expression. Not to mention that Bai Xiaowen had the prophecy halo of the Great Sage, just his merit of killing the King of Disasters was enough for him to be the commander.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute. Before the alliance, we still have one more thing to do."
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and called for the militia Morrison, who was waiting outside, to come over.
"This is a confession. The priests of the Ancient God Cult instigated the murderer to kill the mayor of Uttu Town, Mr. Kelly. They also instigated Secretary Movey to frame me. Other than committing the crime of murder, their goal is also very clear, which is to obstruct us from fighting against the demons. "
The parchment was passed around among the five representatives. It was Secretary Movey's confession.
"Ancient God Cult …"
The five representatives all had a thoughtful expression.
Bai Xiaowen said loudly, "I propose that before the alliance, we first ban the Ancient God Cult and label it as a cult! We will uproot this cult and remove a cancer for human society. "
"We should have done this long ago." Humphrey of Naha Town hammered his palm with his large hand. "This bunch of swindlers have no use other than deceiving everyone. They are a waste of food. I have long wanted to ban the cult, but there are too many civilians who have been bewitched by this cult. It is not easy to do so. "
Helbart said, "We can announce the assassination of Mayor Kelly to the human settlements and expose the sinister intentions of the Ancient God Cult! Let the townspeople wake up. "
Another representative said, "That's right. In the past, the townspeople were bewitched by the cult because they could not see any hope. Now that we have the banner of Lord Christos, there is hope for victory. It will definitely wake up the majority of the bewitched townspeople. "
The five representatives who participated in the meeting today were all leaders of the town's armed forces. They definitely did not like the Ancient God Cult who pretended to be mysterious. Therefore, Bai Xiaowen's proposal was unanimously supported by the five.
