Hunter starting from Hunter World

At night, it was dark inside the walls of Santo Labona.

Due to the massive loss of population, the slums in the periphery that were originally crowded with poor people are now like ghosts, filled with an eerie atmosphere.

Soldiers affiliated with the church did not even dare to enter it for daily patrols, but only guarded the main road leading to the central cathedral.

According to some rumors, there are creepy sounds coming from those abandoned slums every night.

When you look closer at daybreak, you can even find large black stains of dried blood, as well as bones and scraps of meat that have been chewed beyond recognition.

Obviously, all this indicates that demons have unknowingly infiltrated the Holy City, which used to be extremely safe.

If you were in an ordinary city, you would have already called for help from the organization if you discovered this situation, and prepared a large amount of money as a reward, waiting for the Silver-Eyed Witch to deal with it.

But unfortunately, because the church’s bastards claim to their believers that the gods they worship are omnipotent, they can’t even find the shame to ask outsiders for help.

Not to mention inviting the sword to kill demons, they did not even allow the sword to approach the Holy City, thinking it was blasphemy to the gods.

It can be said that religious ignorance, stubbornness and prejudice are most vividly reflected in these people.

Even at this time, there is still no intention of repenting.

On the contrary, in the central cathedral, Bishop Mailer, who advocated launching a war to solve the current predicament, was standing on the stage, raising his arms and shouting: Everyone! The situation has gotten so bad! Do we have to watch this happen? Is this great holy city and the God we believe in being trampled under the feet of others? Those unbelievers! And the mortals who disrespect the gods will surely suffer retribution! Especially the Holy Light Church in the south that believes in false gods must be punished with thunder Such a blow! Otherwise it will snatch away all our believers and shake our foundation! Please open your eyes wide and take a good look at the Holy City beneath our feet! We have no way to retreat!

War! We want war!

As servants of God! We will win!

Destroy that damn false church in the south!

…

It must be said that the bishop's language is quite provocative.

Many church leaders present were so excited that they wished they could rush to the battlefield with weapons and kill all the heretics without leaving a single one behind.

But at the same time, there were also some people who kept their minds clear, frowning and looking at the manic atmosphere in the audience, their expressions extremely ugly.

Because they know that wars cannot be won with fanatical beliefs.

Especially when Allen, the lord of the Western Land, completely ignored the church's invitation to form an alliance, it was definitely not a good idea to rashly launch a war.

Unfortunately, smart and calm people in this world will always be in the minority.

When the fanatical emotions are stirred up, the irrational emotional catharsis is like a rolling torrent, which will crush all obstacles in front of you that try to block your progress.

Therefore, although some people opposed launching a war, they did not dare to speak out at this time.

Otherwise, he would most likely be found out as a traitor, tied to the stake and burned alive.

Seeing that his method of coercing public opinion was initially effective, Bishop Mailer's eyes flashed with pride, and at the same time he looked provocatively at other bishops who had different opinions from him.

There is no doubt that the reason why he advocated war was to gain more support within the church, thereby gaining greater power, and even to put himself above other bishops.

As an ambitious man, he wanted more than just becoming a bishop in the church.

He is even more eager to expand the power of the church to every corner of the continent at his feet, so that everyone can believe in the true God who stands in the center of the cathedral, and establish the so-called Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

It is precisely because of this that Bishop Mailer is so nervous and hostile to the rise and expansion of the Holy Light Church.

In his opinion, neither the organization nor the rising secular lord Allen in the West will threaten the church's dominance over people's spiritual world.

But Artoria's Holy Light Church has fundamentally shaken the status of the Holy City - Rabona.

This is something that cannot be forgiven under any circumstances.

But just when Bishop Mailer was feeling a little complacent, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the circular vault of the church.

Before anyone present could react to what was happening, lines as thick as a finger suddenly shot out from the middle to all sides.

Dozens of people were shot through by this terrifying thread on the spot, and their blood, internal organs, and brains immediately flowed all over the floor.

With the help of dim torches and candlelight, one could vaguely see that it was a monster with a seventy-eighth human appearance, but lying on all fours.

He has golden vertical pupils like a beast, and a mouth full of sharp teeth like sharks.

And those so-called lines are the fingers and toes extending from the limbs.

no doubt!

This is an awakened person, or a killer deliberately brought in by the organization to clean up these bad guys who have been a little crazy recently.

The leader, Bishop Mailer, had his intestines gutted on the spot and screamed in pain, despair and fear.

Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Save me! Someone come and save me! My intestines are leaking out!

Hearing the bishop's call for help, several soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp blades finally reacted and immediately rushed forward to chop the monster into pieces.

But they obviously ignored that the power of the awakened ones was simply not something that ordinary people could match.

Those seemingly sturdy armors didn't even hold up for a second under the claws of the Awakened Ones, and were cut into ten or eight pieces on the spot.

Hahahaha! Delicious! It's so delicious! What a great meal! I'm so moved that I'm moved to tears!

The male awakened person laughed unbridledly while stuffing the bloody internal organs into his mouth and chewing them.

The horrific sounds and images were enough to make all the survivors present feel numb.

Some were so frightened that their legs became weak and they collapsed on the ground.

Weird...monster!

Run! Otherwise we will all be eaten!

Guard! Guard!

Suddenly, the church, which was originally full of holiness, solemnity and solemnity, fell into complete chaos.

The guy who was so fanatically clamoring for a religious war one second was running away like a bereaved dog the next second.

But this male awakener obviously had no intention of letting these people go. He jumped deep and quickly shuttled through the dark corridor. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with these usually aloof church senior officials and brutally tore open their chests and abdominal cavities. The bloody entrails were dug out and eaten.

By the time the soldiers guarding the outside rushed in, the inside had turned into a horrific scene like purgatory.

At a glance, the mutilated corpses were removed, including the intestines, lungs, liver, kidneys that were discarded on the ground and covered with tooth marks...

Black-red plasma formed a thick layer on the ground, making it sticky and slippery when stepped on.

Finally, one of the soldiers couldn't bear it any longer. He covered his mouth and lay in the corner and began to vomit.

Soon after, more soldiers began to have similar reactions.

One of the more courageous soldiers suppressed his tumbling stomach and asked cautiously: Team... Captain! What should we do now?

What else can we do! Go and see which bishop is alive and ask him to come out to take charge of the overall situation. The middle-aged man who is the captain has a trembling voice.

At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that the church must have angered some forces this time.

Otherwise, how could it be that the advocates of launching a religious war and a showdown with the Holy Light Church in the south would be attacked by man-eating monsters and bring down the whole high-level leadership?

The only good thing is that the other party didn't seem to want to kill them all. They just slaughtered the main war faction headed by Bishop Mailer and stopped.

Otherwise, with this monster's terrifying strength of easily tearing apart the entire body of plate armor, it would be meaningless no matter how many soldiers were sent.

In this way, after experiencing an unprecedented tragedy since the establishment of the church, Saint Rabona finally returned to calm from a restless state.

As the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who asked it.

With the high-level church leaders who advocated tough foreign policy all dead, the few surviving bishops ignored the threat from the Holy Light Church in the South and first appealed to the organization for help, hoping that the other party could send big swords to solve the problem in the Holy City. A scary man-eating monster.

The organization also conveniently sent some warriors of the same generation as Dinisha, intending to let them die together with the awakened one to make room for the new generation of warriors who were about to graduate in the training camp.

As a result, this uproarious religious farce ended with the organization's overall victory.

From the beginning to the end, they only sent one awakened person, which made the self-respecting church understand who is the real master of this land and who is the clown who does not know the heights of the sky.

Likewise, this crisis also allowed the residents of the Holy City to discover the powerful nature of the church.

Both the wealthy business class and ordinary civilians began to flee with their families.

Some people fled to the south and chose to fall into the arms of the Church of Holy Light, while others fled to the west and pledged their allegiance to Lord Allen.

Only a handful of people with strong faith remained to support this crumbling house.

However, in this new era, it is obvious that the Holy City no longer has its place.

It is just a remnant of an old era, standing as a witness in the center of the island, and will continue to decline with the passage of time until it completely becomes a part of history.

The organizations that control the Eastern Land, the Three Giants of the Abyss in the Northern Land, Lord Allen of the Western Land, and Artoria of the Holy Light Church in the Southern Land form a delicate balance.

Since no one from the four parties had any intention of breaking the situation, the island unexpectedly ushered in a period of peaceful development which was very rare.

Especially in the west and south, where demons and awakened beings no longer harassed them, not only did their population begin to expand rapidly, but agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts, and trade became extremely prosperous.

In contrast, the eastern region controlled by the organization still maintains its original appearance without any change at all.

On the contrary, the northern region has regained its vitality a little after the three giants of the abyss joined forces.

the reason is simple!

After realizing that he could not slaughter civilians for food as unscrupulously as before, even a guy like Isli who believed that the strong had the inherent right to kill and kill the weak began to restrain his subordinates and ordered him not to massacre villages and towns at will.

They even provide help when some villages encounter difficulties.

Of course, this is not because Yisli suddenly became kind and stopped eating people, but because he seriously treated the northern region as his own territory.

Otherwise, if all the civilians in the north die, then they will all starve.

To put it simply, the awakened people began to transform from being simple predators to becoming self-sufficient herders.

In their eyes, these people are like herds of cattle and sheep.

As for the mainland across the sea, although the two countries have repeatedly tried to restore contact with the island.

But every time the shipyard was rebuilt, it would be mercilessly destroyed by the guardians.

Almost every act of sabotage will be regarded as a provocation by the other country by the two countries, and will eventually turn into a fierce conflict and confrontation.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Allen.

Because he has become completely immersed in the joy of building a country from scratch.

Even in order to develop trade and reduce transportation pressure, a new city was established as a ruling center in a coastal area near the river.

And the towns along the river and its tributaries are developing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After all, in this world where technology and productivity are extremely backward, there is nothing more convenient, time-saving and labor-saving than water transportation.

Only a place with a developed waterway network can support a densely populated town.

Coupled with the fact that offshore fishing can provide a large amount of cheap fresh fish, aquatic products and the most important necessity - salt, the living standards of civilians have rapidly improved greatly.

The merchant group that has earned a lot of wealth through trade is full of gratitude and respect for Allen, the supreme ruler of the West.

Because only within the scope of Allen's control, they can not only obtain the safety of life and property, but also enjoy a variety of conveniences and entertainment.

At night, you can often see banquets held all night long in those mansions, where both the hosts and the guests drink fine wine and taste delicious food and pastries.

If it weren't for the news of man-eating demons that often came from the east and north, everyone might have forgotten the memory of living in fear all day long.

However, ordinary people are forgetful, which does not mean that soldiers like Inili who defected from the organization will forget.

With their long lives, they will never forget what the organization has done to them...
