Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Chapter 497: Slaughtering the Queek refugees, forcing out the Dark Priest

In the plan to deal with the plague in Shadowmoon City, a very decisive attitude was taken towards the shadow priests - "What shadow priests? Just wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Shadow priests, a group lurking in the shadows and inextricably linked to evil forces, seem to be an important factor behind the plague incident.

Perhaps they played a key role in the spread or creation of the plague, or perhaps they were stirring up trouble in Shadowmoon City in order to achieve some ulterior motive.

Therefore, taking ruthless action against them was considered a necessary means to resolve the plague crisis.

The attack took place that night, and it was destined to be a night of horror that many people would never forget. The villages that housed the refugees from the Quick Province were massacred, with more than a dozen villages on fire. The blazing flames illuminated the dark night sky, but also became a symbol of death and despair.

The wailing coming from the village lingered for a long time. It was the wailing of countless lives suffering great pain. The whole scene was like a living hell, extremely cruel.

Each village is a small world with families, dreams and hopes for the future. However, all of this collapsed in an instant in the massacre, leaving only endless ruins and the breath of death.

At the same time, a cloud of black fog was moving rapidly, and it was clearly visible in Anqi's field of vision...

In this mysterious and dangerous scene, the black fog looked particularly strange. Maybe under normal circumstances, she could easily slip away under the cover of night, but fortunately, everything in the world seems to have its nemesis, as the saying goes, "one thing subdues another."

It seemed as if it was fate that Angel, who was also a dark creature, was able to discover the black fog, which also made it possible to track down targets that might be hiding huge dangers.

Kashin just glanced at the black mist, put down his bow, and smiled meaningfully...

His action seemed relaxed, but in fact it contained his deep insight into the situation. He knew that now was not the time to act rashly, and in this situation full of danger and uncertainty, every action needed to be carefully considered.

"There's no need to alert the enemy. There may be other dark priests hiding. Jean Tocque, you track her down and do it from a distance. I'll keep an eye on her here." Kashin made arrangements calmly.

After hearing Kashin's order, Jean Tocque looked embarrassed and said helplessly:

"Captain, I can't see with my eyes. I can't even see the scouting birds. How can I chase them?"

In this dangerous and challenging mission, Jean Tocque faced the limitations of his own abilities and was somewhat lacking in confidence.

"Haha! When tracking prey, vision is almost useless. You just explore along the line from the village chief's building to the fish pond. Wait until he enters the wheat field, and you will know where he is." Kashin confidently gave a countermeasure.

His suggestion was not groundless. In such a cold environment, the shadow priest might leave traces due to environmental restrictions.

The cold weather makes the ground hard, and any object passing by will leave marks on it, like clues provided by nature for trackers.

It was freezing cold at the moment, and Jean Tocque understood what Kashin said.

He realized that the footprints left by the Shadow Priest in such an environment would become the key to their tracking. As long as they followed this clue, they would be able to track the Shadow Priest even if they could not exactly discover his stealth skills.

This time, Kashin brought him a set of killer whale alchemical leather armor as a reward to Jantok. Killer whale alchemical leather armor has unique properties. Wearing it makes people feel comfortable, as if it is integrated with the body, giving the wearer strong protection and comfort.

After putting on this set of leather armor, Jean Tocque was eager to show off his skills. He felt the blessing of strength and his self-confidence was greatly improved.

So he excitedly rushed to the village chief's building and began to carry out the tracking mission according to Kashin's instructions.

It was discovered by accident that Toker was resistant to the potion, which was a very strange phenomenon.

Generally speaking, potions are effective in dealing with various abnormal creatures or dangerous situations, but this target seems to have a natural resistance to potions.

Not only that, he also resists Holy Strikes at the same time, meaning that Tok is not afraid of Holy Strikes from the Church's Armed Paladins and Priests.

After letting Tok go, Kashin crawled on the highest roof and used Angel's vision to scout the shadow priest.

After a while, another target was found. She actually pretended to be dead and avoided being killed by her own Crazy Dragon Cavalry and scouts, lying among the dead bodies.

The only flaw is that the dark elements of the shadow priest shroud the surroundings, which is an obvious sign in Angel's vision.

Kashin's mind moved, and the silver wolf on guard downstairs rushed to the destination two miles away like an arrow.

Therefore, it is Kashen who has to deal with the shadow priest. He should first cleanse the refugee group. This move can make the church armed forces put away their fluke mentality. Although it is cruel, they will never dare to use the strategy of changing the cage and replacing the bird again.

This shadow priest? There is no need to check them one by one, they have nowhere to hide.

Soon, the massacre was almost over and Tok came back and climbed onto the roof again. Without looking back, Kashin said, "Why so fast? Did he run away?"

Let Tok take out three badges and give them to Kashin: "Haha! Don't waste time, they actually have an insider, let's catch them all at once, and also found that they hid dry food in the tree beside the fish pond. It turns out that they are planning to escape."

Kashin thought that the special situation forced him to make a prompt decision and take action early.

He nodded and said, "Well done. There is still one person pretending to be dead. Let Silver Wolf deal with him! I'll keep an eye on him. You have nothing to do with this." Kashin was in a good mood and planned to let Tok lead the troops back.

"Captain, all the people have been killed. Civilians will immediately come in to help burn the bodies. It is said that the salary is one gold coin a day, and it takes about half a month to do the work. So for this job, more than 30 people fought and were all put in solitary confinement. The civilians are very popular."

Upon hearing this, Kashin sighed and said, "Although the lives of our people have improved significantly, they are still not wealthy. They have to work hard for a job that pays 15 gold coins. Alas! Governance work is far from enough!"

Jean Tocque: "The life of the people here is second to none in the world. Captain, are you being too demanding?

It is not easy to make wealth equally distributed. Many people only know how to farm and have no other skills. We can only ensure that they do not go hungry. If they want to become rich, they have to work hard on their own... It has nothing to do with governance."

Kashin couldn't help laughing and said with emotion:

"That's true! We have no ability to interfere in other people's affairs. This time, we actually lost another 30% of our people.

Ever since the terrible church rebellion, only a pitiful 10% of Shadowmoon City's original residents are left alive.

This ancient city with thousands of years of history, its brilliant culture and profound traditions are now in a precarious situation..."

Jean Toque, who was standing nearby, also had a look of regret on his face. He nodded heavily and replied:

"Yes! These remaining people must reproduce and grow as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if they are unable to continue their offspring, the splendid culture that our Shadowmoon City is so proud of will probably be completely cut off.

You know, Shadowmoon City’s most valuable asset is its brilliant civilization, and the foundation of this civilization is precisely its population. Alas, it is so regrettable and sad...”

The two men lamented that 20,000 refugees were definitely the population that the city urgently needed, but they had to kill them in the confrontation with the church. At this moment, they had already reported to the king and were prepared to repeat the same trick when encountering such a situation.

This is the root of the plague. To cure the disease, we must first cure the country. Only when order is maintained can the plague be eradicated.

From now on, civilians in each territory should not leave the territory unless necessary. In the near future, we will not support population movement and would rather kill the innocent than let them go.
