The team responsible for the investigation never returned. This abnormal situation made the knight leader wary. The small village in front of him seemed very dangerous?
When he was hesitating whether to send another team of people in to check, a bird suddenly appeared in the distant sky and headed straight for the location of the divine warrior.
The knight leader frowned slightly when he saw this, and stretched out his hand towards the sky. The bird seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope and landed directly on his hand.
This extremely fast-flying bird is the main tool used by the Temple of War to communicate messages. However, once this messenger bird appears, it means something big is going to happen!
Taking a deep breath, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Taking out the letter from the messenger bird's kangaroo-like pocket, the knight leader slowly opened it, and then his expression changed slightly.
This intelligence mentioned that in just one night, strange things happened frequently around Harvest City. Suspected undead creatures appeared in dozens of villages, and more than 3,000 people were missing!
In addition to ordinary villagers, nearly three hundred spiritual warriors died suddenly in various places. The death was horrific!
This sudden incident made the main temple very angry, and ordered all the war temples in Harvest City to mobilize. They must find out the specific origin of the enemy within one day. This situation must not be tolerated to continue.
All divine warriors who are performing tasks outside must put aside other tasks after receiving the order and make every effort to pursue this matter.
Looking at the content on the letter, the knight leader took a deep breath, turned to look at the people around him and said: "Everyone listen to the order, prepare for battle, and enter Gus Village immediately."
The deputy next to him heard this and asked in a hesitant tone: "Captain, do you want to wait a moment?"
"We can't wait any longer. We just received news that not only Gus Village has encountered strange events, but also dozens of other villages. The divine warriors have also suffered heavy casualties."
"The Temple of War has issued an order. We must immediately find out the cause of the accident in these villages. We only have one day, so we cannot retreat even if it is dangerous!"
After hearing the explanation of the group leader, the deputy took a deep breath and looked at the empty village in front of him, his expression became serious.
Since the God of War has given an order, they must carry it out, otherwise severe punishment will be waiting for them.
The group of people advanced slowly along the road in front of them. The knight leader kept his brows furrowed. As they went deeper, his expression suddenly changed, as if he wanted to shout a warning.
But after just a second, the knight leader regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.
This scene happened in a very short time, and the other divine warriors didn't notice it at all.
Soon everyone arrived at the center of the village. The big leafy tree appeared in front of them, and some burnt charcoal was scattered on the ground.
The village was still deserted. Several small teams were sent out to search, but nothing was found.
"According to the analysis of the traces left behind, the previous team disappeared here. Where did they go?"
There was a trace of doubt on the deputy's face, and he kept looking around, and finally had no choice but to give up.
The captain of the knights did not speak, but quietly looked at the big tree not far away, his eyes slightly narrowed together.
"No need to look for them, they are already dead!"
The knight leader's voice was as cold as ice, and he spoke word by word, as if speaking with great difficulty.
"Dead?"
The deputy was stunned for a moment, then followed the gaze of the knight leader, and then realized that something seemed to be hanging on the branch of the big tree.
"What is that?"
With a trace of confusion on his face, the deputy subconsciously took a few steps forward and finally saw clearly what was on the tree.
They were charred corpses hanging on the thorns growing from the branches. Because the corpses were covered by leaves and there was no breeze blowing the leaves, he didn't see them at first.
"Could these be the missing villagers? They were burned to death and hung on trees!"
Although the whereabouts of the missing villagers were found, the deputies were not happy because their mission was not to find the missing villagers, but to kill the mastermind behind the incident!
To be able to do such a thing, the opponent's methods must be very cruel, and to kill a group of divine warriors silently also shows that the enemy is very powerful.
At this moment, the deputy also saw the missing divine warriors. They were also hanging on the tree. Their clothes were intact, but their bodies were burnt like flames and turned black!
"Captain, what should we do next?"
The village has been searched, but there is no trace, and the deputy has no idea for a while.
The group leader who had been observing the big tree turned his head, pointed at the big tree and said, "Cut it down, and maybe you can find the answer!"
The deputy felt that the leader's words were strange, but he had no time to think about it. Instead, he chose to follow the command and called a group of spiritual warriors to walk towards the big tree and prepare to cut it in half.
But just when everyone was approaching the big tree, the still leaves suddenly became automatic without wind, and then bursts of strange sounds sounded, like countless men, women, and children crying and complaining. But if you listen carefully, you will find that it is not crying.
, but a weird laughter.
The corpses hanging on the branches also began to twist and shake, and then fell to the ground one after another like ripe fruits.
Next, these corpses were like rusty puppets, struggling to get up from the ground, with smiles on their scorched faces, and they staggered closer to the divine warriors.
A faint green flame rose from them, and burned more and more fiercely, and finally turned into burning fireballs.
"Stay with us, don't leave again!"
"We died so miserably, you must help us!"
"Captain, the people here are so enthusiastic, you should stay too!"
Various strange sounds continued to float out of the fireball, as if magic sounds were filling their brains, making those divine warriors become drowsy and their eyes became more and more bloodshot.
"Listen to my order and attack immediately!"
The deputy roared when he saw this, and at the same time silently recited the name of the God of War Antares in his mind, and rushed towards a burning corpse first.
The sharp sword struck a corpse, easily splitting it into two pieces, but then something more terrifying happened. More green flames were seen erupting from the inside of the corpse, sputtering in all directions.
Come.
The deputy and several divine warriors were unable to dodge, and their bodies were stained with a trace of this strange flame. Then the flame spread quickly on the body surface like thick ink dripping into clear water.
A burst of extremely painful wails came from the mouths of the deputies. They kept rolling on the ground, trying to suppress the flames on their bodies, but to no avail.
The sound of roasting grease, accompanied by the smell of burning, filled the village. Seeing this miserable situation, the divine warriors stepped back in horror, fearing that the flames would contaminate themselves.
After only a few seconds, the few divine warriors wrapped in flames stopped moving and lay motionless on the ground.
Just when the divine warriors thought that their companions had been burned to death, the charred corpses suddenly moved and then stood up from the ground with clumsy movements.
This scene of resurrection from the dead did not surprise the divine warriors, because they knew very well that the other party had become something that frightened them and was no longer their companion.
Facing this strange and terrifying existence, the divine warriors were at a loss and looked at the knight leader behind them.
It was only at this moment that they suddenly realized that it seemed that after the deputy gave the attack order, the regiment leader had remained silent and did not take the lead in the battle like in the past.
Turning to look at the knight leader, the divine warriors found that he had a smile on his lips, but that smile looked so weird.
And the smile seemed very familiar, it was exactly the same as those of the villagers who were burned to death!
