Chapter 268 The Night of the Long Knife (6)
The same situation as near the boundary of the central urban area also occurred at the junction of the southeastern and southwest areas of Beit. There, the guards of the nobles and wealthy merchants were also trying their best to resist the urban mobs poisoned by the demon honey extract.
"They need some help," the tailor emptied in the shadows and observing the progress of the situation here empty the copper pot in his hand. The last drop of demon honey extract spread into the air. "If you want to do something well, you must sometimes do it yourself."
She raised her beloved "Purgatory Fangs".
It is quite ironic that as a servant of the Demon Lord, the weapon in the hand of the female spy Tifflin actually has a Batto-style name - but this actually does not affect its sophistication.
After a little adjustment of the sight, this exquisite enchanted crossbow locked the target with the assistance of the spell effect; gently pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow filled in the launching groove shot out but was silent under the guidance of the steel strings of the Baijing.
The vicious crossbow arrow penetrated the victim's eyes and easily took the life of a noble guard captain. At the same time, the flag with the "viper and bush" pattern behind him was stained with many red and white objects, which looked quite disgusting.
"...Captain," the guard standing beside the dead captain was stunned at first, and became furious. He shouted to the others with a hoarse voice: "Those mobs possessed prohibited weapons... slaughtered them! In the name of Eternal Chiyang!"
The shouting of "eternal sun" in the dark night was somewhat confusing. But the guards who heard the shouting chose to follow the advice - after all, the crossbow arrow inserted in the eyes of the dead guard captain could not be vain - they drew their weapons one after another.
"Cut them over!"
I don't know which party shouted the slogan first, but the angry mob and the guards of the nobles and merchants rushed to each other from both ends of the streets and alleys. Their saliva splashed out from their mouths and splashed on each other's faces due to their angry scolding, and the two groups of people were brought together.
When blood becomes cheap, human fear of death becomes lighter. The sickle-blade sword cuts the flesh and is exchanged for a dagger stabbing into the shoulder blade; just as soon as he slapped someone in the cheek, it is very likely that his groin will be kicked severely. Bleeding and serious injuries will bring fear, but soon this fear will be replaced by hatred.
To be fair, compared to the hired guards who have received some training or even licked blood from the knife for years, the mobs must have shed more blood. In addition, the gap in weapons and armor, even out of an irresistible state of rage, the city residents still fell into pools of blood like wheat in the fields during the harvest season.
"These idiots!"
After returning from the lagoon area, Kunini, the Speaker of the Obsidian Council, has been paying close attention to the situation in Bait City. Although he is a devil count, he does not care about the life or death of ordinary people, no matter whether it is public or private, after seeing the traces of demons appearing in the capital of the American Ichichi, he cannot ignore it.
In his plan, everything in Bait City belongs to his own basic structure. One day, he dragged the Ashes into the Nine Prisons of Bartau, and he got rid of the embarrassing rank of the Devil Earl and gained a brand new way of promotion. He relied on this.
How could he not be in a hurry?
You should know that when any Batzu is planning, if a demon appears in the plan, even if he has confidence in his intelligence, he will try his best to eliminate this variable.
Because if they have enough intelligence, they will definitely not try to guess what kind of ideas the demons with natural chaos are, nor will they find ways to take advantage of the inherent uncertainty factor such as demons.
If one's own ability is insufficient and unable to eliminate the influence of the demon, the Badzu Demon will decisively choose to give up.
But Kunini couldn't give up at all. Therefore, even though he realized that the storm might be the demon lord at some level of the bottomless abyss, he still had to bite the bullet and find a way to solve the problem.
"The chaos must be stopped from spreading," the devil count with a bright head immediately thought of the key to breaking the deadlock. With the knowledge in his mind, he realized that the other party might want to come, so he sent someone to trigger a riot in Bait City: "Flesh and blood sacrifices, soul sacrifices, panic emotions, chaotic atmosphere... Damn, there are too many 'materials' for the other party to choose."
Like the initiator of this chaos, Kunini was also hidden in the shadow of the city. While analyzing the situation, he sent "telephone" every member of the Obsidian Council through spells, "Constrain your guards and use blunt-strike weapons when dealing with the mob, just be able to knock the opponent out..."
At the same time, he was also trying to find ways to search for traces of the people who created chaos.
Nothing can happen out of thin air. Even with the power of a demon lord, it is impossible to affect mortals in the material plane without the help of any "medium".
And this "medium" may be some kind of demonic creation, some kind of spell ritual, but the most likely one is that there are demon servants who make trouble from it - I have to admit that those who know demons the most will always be devils.
"Instead of trying to solve the demon once and for all, it is better to find those servants who are loyal to him first. First, it is easier, and second, it is enough to temporarily destroy the plan of the lowly abyss. "As long as my mind flies, the devil's Earl Kunini quickly reacted, "After all, if there is a trace of the demon, I should not be the only one who should have a headache."
After thinking through this, he began his own actions.
After shaking his figure twice, several identical figures appeared behind him, and took advantage of the night to escape into the darkness. These "clips" transformed from spells quickly left and sneaked into the streets and alleys of Bait City.
They first searched for various areas where mobs were concentrated, either knocked out directly or used "group sleeping techniques" to drag many urban residents into the deep streets. Then, they used the devil's unique skills to directly question the souls of these "unlucky guys".
Supporting so many clones and also having to read the soul images sent back through them, even with the power of the Devil Earl, Kunini already felt that his body and spirit were beginning to become tired.
However, as the saying goes, "there will always be rewarding", and the direction of efforts is correct, and after just persisting for a while, Kunini discovered a clue: among the more than 120 "samples" of mobs, the same figure appeared in the soul images of more than a dozen people. Although they may not have noticed it themselves, this was enough to make a Badzu suspicious.
"So it's her!"
After analyzing the last "sample", Kunini finally saw a soul image recording the side face of the "suspect". He instantly recognized the identity of the "suspect" and became angry because of this.
