The mercenary team from the Central Province escorted the Red Caltrop Chamber of Commerce through the Bull Mountains and arrived at the Kingdom of the Church of Light. Along the way, except for some ordinary robbers and some troublesome hooligans, they did not encounter any danger. Although Lynn was young, he was also a Holy Knight. After showing his identity and strength, ordinary people did not dare to embarrass him.
They hired a boat along the Nami River, traveled all the way, and finally entered the Kingdom of Mara. Here, Lynn's Storm Mercenary Team and the Red Caltrop Chamber of Commerce were stationed in a remote town.
The town was very quiet and peaceful. It was a typical agriculture-oriented town. There was also a waterwheel mill in the town. The mill belonged to the town's church. The farmers in the town could use it as long as they paid a fee. The town's streets were very neat and looked a little old.
Because it was close to the Nami River, the land was fertile, and there was a forest next to it. Whether it was hunting or farming, it was enough to support themselves. Moreover, this was the direct territory of the Monar Family, so the tax was lower than other aristocratic territories. Therefore, the townspeople's life was not bad.
"Don't you think the villagers here are a little strange?" After Lynn patrolled the town, he returned to a few houses. The Red Caltrop Chamber of Commerce was a small business group, with only 20 to 30 people. Including Lynn's mercenary team, there were only more than 30 people, squeezed into two neighboring houses.
Duwei thought for a moment, "I don't think it's strange? They are very enthusiastic, especially the hot eyes of the village girls. They must have taken a fancy to me! "
Lynn frowned and said, "Everyone here has the same smile, and when we entered the village, those guys looked at us strangely. This is not the scene of outsiders entering a village, and we are orcs. You know, this is not the Central Province, but the Kingdom of Mara. The humans regard us as aliens!"
"Maybe the people here are more enthusiastic!"
"I think we should be more careful at night!"
That night, a mist slowly permeated from the periphery of the town and gradually engulfed the whole town. When the mist slowly approached the house where Lynn and others were stationed, they immediately saw a few guards outside being swallowed by the mist. With a weird chewing sound, they immediately disappeared.
Lynn, who had been vigilant, was immediately alarmed when he heard the shouts of the night watchmen outside. He rushed out and shouted for everyone. At this moment, they realized that the whole village had been covered by this strange fog.
The fog was afraid of fire and heat, so it did not dare to get close to the room. Lin En and the others set the house on fire, dispelled the fog, and rushed out with torches, only to find that there were indeed countless monsters waiting for them outside.
This was a kind of monster that maintained a human form but did not have a face. Their bodies constantly emitted cold air, and a layer of frost seemed to condense on their skin, making them look like walking corpses.
Hundreds of people in the town had all turned into this kind of monster. These faceless corpses walked along the stone streets of the town, constantly besieging Lynn and others. The priest of the Church of Light, who was originally in charge of the church in the village, had also turned into a terrifying extraordinary monster.
When they rushed out of the yard, they saw a monster standing on the street that was nearly four meters tall. It had huge wings and was constantly approaching them. This monster had no legs. Its feet were like wriggling mud, constantly dragging across the ground as it approached them.
Lynn's face suddenly turned pale, "Devil … Devil … Devil's kin?"
Duwei felt that his feet were trembling, "Damn, which lunatic is it again? Is he offering sacrifices to the devil in the abyss?"
It was not the first time that people in the Central Province had seen the power of the devil. There were legends about the devil, which had been circulating in human legends for a long time, but the real records had only appeared in the past few decades.
It was said that there was a book written by the devil king from the abyss. This was a book from the abyss, which was full of evil and filth. Even if one only read the contents of the book, one would be swallowed up by the terrible power and dragged into the abyss.
The pictures and true names of the demons that were spread out in this book allowed the people of the world to know how to summon and sacrifice these terrifying existences from the abyss. Many people, in order to obtain power, to satisfy their own desires, to become immortal, to expel diseases, or to resurrect their loved ones, would sacrifice these terrifying abyssal demons.
However, these demons were not good people. Everyone who offered sacrifices to them would eventually be swallowed by them and assimilated by their power. At the same time, there was a lot of chaos on the Alen Continent. However, most of the chaos was immediately quelled by the power of the Church of Light or the Faith of the Sun in the early stages.
Lynn did not expect that there was such a whole town in the Kingdom of Mara, which had been swallowed up by the power of the devil. Everyone in the town had become the devil's slaves and kin.
Lynn and the others held their torches high and continued to fight among the monsters. They wanted to break out of the siege and escape the town that had been completely eroded by the power of the abyss.
However, these faceless monsters could not be killed. Even if they were cut in half, pierced through their heads with bows and arrows, or smashed with hammers, they still slowly fused and reassembled like clay. It seemed that as long as they were shrouded in this fog, they would not die.
The man-eating fog shrouded the entire sky, even the moonlight was covered. Lynn and the others lit fires all over the town, but the surrounding man-eating fog shrouded every exit and corner of the town. They had no way to escape, unless they waited for dawn.
However, hundreds of faceless monsters continued to besiege them, and the huge devil kin raised its huge arms and easily destroyed the houses. The companions who could not escape in time were smashed one by one into meat patties, spitting out acidic corrosive solutions. As long as they were stained, large pieces of flesh and blood would immediately fall off and turn into bones.
They would probably be wiped out before dawn. Lynn used the divine spells of the Holy Knights to constantly deal with these monsters, but he still fell into a desperate situation.
This was the first mercenary team that Lynn had formed, and it was also his first mission. His dreams and future had not yet begun, and he might die here, along with the lives of many of his companions.
"Your Holiness!"
"I pray to you, with my most devout faith, I call your name, please give us salvation!"
"No evil can escape judgment, no evil can harm the world!"
As Lynn prayed over and over again, his faith gradually solidified, and he broke through his usual boundaries. In an instant, he mastered a first-level divine incantation that he couldn't use before, and it was the most powerful offensive divine incantation among the first-level divine incantations, Holy Power.
The light from the Holy Knight's sword instantly pierced through the devil kin. Flames and light wrapped around the devil kin, emitting a strong light that shook and tore the devil kin apart.
With the death of the demon's kin, the other faceless zombies went crazy and attacked them crazily. At this time, with the death of the demon's kin, the man-eating fog that it summoned also dissipated, and the boundary that originally trapped Lynn and the others was also gone.
The members of the Storm Mercenary Team formed a battle formation and finally broke out of the encirclement, escaping from the town that was swallowed by the abyss. Everyone was wounded and exhausted as they left the town.
The next day, the priests of the Church of Light arrived with a large number of knights. They surrounded the whole town and cleaned up the remaining monsters, but they still could not find the mastermind or the controller.
Lynn, on the other hand, sent the Red Caltrop Chamber of Commerce to their destination and received a generous commission. After staying in Babus City, the capital of the Kingdom of Mara for a few days, they prepared to return to the Kingdom of Urabell. However, before leaving, they stopped at the legendary sacred lake, Silnano Lake, for a night, and that night completely changed Lynn's fate.
