Weird Star Witch

Rudolf was sitting in an airship, inspecting the retreat outside the city.

The airship flew south for dozens of kilometers, and the burned village appeared in sight.

Those who did not retreat in time had been abducted by the evil god priests. When the farmers resisted, they set a fire. Without anyone to put out the fire, the whole village was burned down.

"Find the next village as soon as possible."

Seeing the tragic situation of the village, the soldiers in Danny City were relatively calm. Their hometown had been destroyed. The soldiers in Maha City became very excited. They were experiencing the road that the soldiers in Danny City had walked.

Soon, a black cloud of insects appeared in the field of vision. There were large and small insects in the cloud, and the variety was rich.

In front of the cloud of insects, there was a group of farmers tied up with ropes, about 80 people, and all the people in a small village were captured by the priests.

The airship quickly launched an attack, and the artillery bombarded the clouds of insects.

Soon the soldiers found that it was very inefficient to use cannons to fight insects. When Battalion Commander Heite looked at the furnace, he found that the furnace had disappeared.

Rudolf had already landed on the ground, silently moving through the insect cloud.

A black beetle crawling on the ground attracted Rudolf's attention. The beetle was as tall as a person and slowly moved forward at the bottom of the insect cloud.

When Rudolf came to the beetle, he found a crack on the beetle's shell. He looked through the crack and saw a pair of eyes. The priest of the insect nest was hiding inside the shell.

The arrow of the sky arrow shot into the beetle through the crack. There was a muffled cry from inside, and the priest died.

All the insects lost control in an instant and turned into ordinary insects, flying around. These insects will become pests that eat plants until they die naturally.

A level 6 insect nest priest, his level is already very high. If he were in the southern continent, he would be the bishop of a large diocese.

But this is the front line, even if a level 7 priest comes, he will die easily.

The evil god cult has no shortage of priests, and priests are not worth money. If the evil god is willing, he can use the power of faith to infuse dozens of level 7 priests in a short period of time.

After the insect cloud dissipated, the airship lowered its altitude and rescued the farmers. The chains on the farmers' hands were cut off, and they gained freedom.

A farmer excitedly found Heite, who seemed to be the highest-ranking officer here. He spoke very quickly in a local accent. After listening for a while, Heite came to find Rudolf.

"Mr. Furnace, the village chief said that some farmers took the initiative to migrate to the south. They did not retreat to the north as required by the parliament!"

"Huh? Why?"

"The farmers said that the church in the south showed miracles. The priest said that the wheat of the goddess of harvest can mature four times a year! Once a quarter!"

Hearing this news, Rudolf was silent.

The evil god cult can spread its doctrine quickly, not relying entirely on intimidation. Their priests can really let the evil insects provide nutrients in the soil and make plants grow better. This is full of temptation for farmers.

As for the matter of being a sacrifice, if public opinion is controlled well, many people can be deceived.

The goddess of harvest puts on a loving coat, and farmers cannot distinguish the truth from the false without seeing the sacrifice with their own eyes.

Rudolf said: "This is also the fault of the parliament. The taxes collected by the parliament are too high, and farmers do not particularly trust the Alchemy Parliament. Farmers are not living well. After hearing that wheat in the south can mature many times, some farmers with poor discrimination ability have been bewitched by the priests."

Hearing Mr. Furnace's judgment, Hater didn't know how to refute it. It was too late to discuss the right and wrong of the parliament now, and the parliament had no chance to change it.

"Try to save more farmers. If you can save a village, it will be a village. In this way, the speed of sacrifice in the evil temple will be slower." After rescuing the third village, the airship was a little overweight and returned to Maha City.

As for those farmers who took the initiative to go to the south, the airship was out of reach.

After returning to Maha City, Rudolf saw Zachary waiting for him.

A bad thought arose in his mind. As Zachary was his intelligence chief, if he came up, it would prove that something very bad had happened.

"Mr. Furnace, I have detected bad news! The evil god navy has abandoned Belfort City. They are preparing to land in Malon City, the northernmost city of the Eagle's Beak Peninsula!"

Rudolf instantly realized a problem: "What do you mean?"

"Yes, Mr. Furnace, I suspect that the evil god navy has discovered the migration of ordinary people. They want to break through Malon City, and then build a temple in Malon City, blocking everyone in the Eagle's Beak Peninsula, tying up the pocket, and then slowly nibbling away the entire Eagle's Beak Peninsula with temples one by one."

Rudolf's face became very ugly. The evil god navy was going to cut off the retreat of the Eagle's Beak Peninsula. If the migration path to the north was cut off at this time, all ordinary people would become sacrifices to the evil god.

The sea and land are not connected. If the land route is cut off again, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Does the Constitutional Army know this news?"

"Yes, I have already told the Constitutional Army of Belfort this news, but the Constitutional Army of Belfort is still hesitating."

"Hesitating? Hesitating about what? Hesitating about the property of those councilors in Belfort? Reluctant to transfer the main force of the Constitutional Army to Malone?"

"What Belfort means is that they are afraid that this is a feint by the evil god navy. Once the main force of the Constitutional Army leaves Belfort, the evil god navy will quickly break through Belfort."

"Those idiots."

Rudolf felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this time. He was like a busy fly, wanting to help everywhere, but unable to help anywhere.

The greed of the alchemists made them move very slowly, and they wanted to keep the bottles and jars in their homes at every step.

When the evacuation was organized, they said they were afraid of causing panic, so they adopted the method of gradual evacuation, which was not efficient at all. Now the evil god navy is likely to be cut off, but the Constitutional Army is reluctant to give up the fixed assets of the capital Belfort and dare not move.

Rudolph found Yvonne and Cooper: "Let's go north, first to Belfort, and then to Malone."

No one asked why, and the scavengers were ready to leave here according to Rudolph's request.

Brook, the brigade commander of the Constitutional Army, knew about the movement of the furnace and waited in the hotel lobby.

Seeing the furnace and his group, he hurried up: "Mr. Furnace, where are you going?"

Brook was very panicked. If there was no furnace here, he would not have the courage to fight against the evil god.

"I'm going to Malone City to ensure that as many people as possible can escape from the Eagle's Beak Peninsula."

"What about Maha City?"

Rudolf shook his head: "Unfortunately, unless you give me two level 8 giant air-blast bombs now, I can't protect Maha City. Organize the evacuation as soon as possible, one hour faster is one hour."

Before leaving, Rudolf patted Hater's shoulder and said:

"Live, live with hatred, I like your declaration very much, only by living can you get revenge, and only by living can you have hope."
