An hour later, Qiao Shan jumped off the gryphon and came to a large crater that looked like a meteorite had hit it.

The headquarters of the Knights of the Gun and the Rose has disappeared. Counting more than 20,000 militiamen, the headquarters has been destroyed, along with the backbone of the legion.

Qiao Shan touched the glazed surface at the bottom of the pit and was stunned by the power. He looked up at the sky and saw that the surrounding clouds were slowly filling a circular gap.

"Come up here, stop looking, nothing will be left behind."

Qiao Shan mounted the gryphon and flew to the edge of the pit, where he saw that his army had begun to sort out the stragglers.

"...At that time, officers above the first-class sergeant major were in a meeting, and I don't know what happened...Maybe they said something to curse the indigenous gods. I heard a little bit, just a little bit."

"...The people in the temple are not here, and the high priest just went out to check the destroyed aboriginal settlements along the way...Ah, they are back."

It was too much of a coincidence that the chaplains of the Temple of the God of System Monsters survived. Not only Brother Chun had doubts, but others also had the same guess.

A large group of griffins landed. They were all dressed in animal skins and painted with bird ornaments. They looked like an Indian high priest with a face as cold as iron. He first asked the identity of the person who came to him, and then waved his hand to stop the politeness behind him and came without saying a word.

Get to the edge of the pit.

"Are they all resurrected at the rear?"

"Which direction?"

At this time, when I saw the skinny NPC natives and their numb and desperate eyes, I couldn't just treat them as scenery like before.

"vomit……"

By the way, there are also contextual taboos.

well!

Qiao Shan could only try his best to forget the tragic images lingering in the back of his mind and turn his attention to current affairs.

"Even if you want to kill, you shouldn't...forget it, it's really inhumane."

"It's an indigenous god!"

"Captain, we found an underground entrance with a magic array!"

On the ground, abandoned farmland is overgrown with weeds, and deserted villages are occupied by goblins. Lowering the height, there is a windmill with an obvious earth style, and a carrion-eating night vulture is tearing apart a mutilated human body.

Corpse.

The team member who discovered the abnormality reported his location, and Qiao Shan rushed there immediately.

Players know very little about the indigenous gods, and all their knowledge comes from the system and NPCs.

Teammates arrived one after another, and one of the mages broke the entrance barrier and destroyed the floor covered with magic patterns.

"There are people who do the business of beheading, and those who lose money... only fools do it."

"...the villagers are sacrifices for sacrifices?"

…

Access to the large pit has been banned. Qiao Shan and his regiment merged with the remaining Guns and Roses regiment, and their number swelled to more than 50,000.

It is the only stone-built residence in the village, with a small courtyard.

Not to mention, it is really possible that the system's supervision of them is not strict, the visitors from the earth do not have that much sense of justice, and ordinary people do not have a long-term perspective, so naturally they will listen to whoever gives them benefits.

Qiao Shan held up a torch to explore the surroundings, and soon found an altar covered by debris. His teammates worked together, and when the debris and corpses were cleared to the corner, a secret sacrificial site was cleared.

"Captain, there's something moving down there!"

This class is currently the most suspected. The same situation was true for the burned village just now. It is difficult to say that the enemy's infiltration into the rear has nothing to do with the secret cooperation of these people.

So, half an hour later, the entire village was ablaze.

This is just like missile positioning. Otherwise, how would the indigenous gods know what is going on and destroy the combat effectiveness of a regiment in one fell swoop? How could they be so accurate?

On the second day after the defense line was built, "refugees" who had retreated from the front line appeared all over the mountains and plains, along with a small group of enemy forward troops.

"It seems that the villagers did not escape, but..."

Qiao Shan once gained occult knowledge about this kind of bird. During a mission to explore a new map, he discovered that someone in an aboriginal village secretly worshiped the evil god. After destroying the altar, he found a booklet about the ancient aboriginal god of death.

…

On the return trip, the team members were all in a heavy mood. Players and tourists could still be resurrected, but the aboriginal NPCs did not have such a chance. Among the corpses, there were many infants and young children. The enemy's cruelty was really outrageous.

In the past, the system would mosaic these images, but now they are gone. It is as if a veil has been lifted from the world of Canaan. The more you immerse yourself in it, the more you feel the heaviness inside.

"The villagers have run away long ago, you goblins, it would be strange if anyone did."

The third type is the systematic intelligent NPC.

The destruction caused by war can be seen everywhere, even in the rear areas far away from the front lines.

Their suspicion is relatively small, because everything they have is given by the system, and they are inseparable from the system ecology. Without the system, they are nothing.

In fact, what Qiao Shan and the others don't know is that if the magic network hadn't acquired divinity, the players' souls would have been destroyed by divine punishment, so how could they be resurrected?

Of course, the magic network without divinity is also within the scope of destruction. On the surface, it is just a beam of energy, but in fact it is the application of laws.

In fact, there are already a large number of reinforcements from the Kingdom of God on the battlefield, that kind of angel troops without wings. They are killing weapons like robots, and they are not difficult to deal with.

"Well……"

There might even be a traitor.

After seven days of marching, we arrived at the predetermined position and began to build a defensive line.

God, there are symbols in the distance. I didn't feel it strongly before, nor was I afraid of it. I didn't expect that its presence would come to the battlefield so quickly and so strongly.

"Uh, no..."

Unlikely.

"... Damn, this is using the power of our people to summon the indigenous gods to attack us."

Then... tourists?

The source of tourists is more complicated than that of players. The system treats them just like aboriginal NPCs, almost leaving them alone. There are many people who are dissatisfied in this regard. The bloody suppression caused by the recent "strengthening of security" cannot guarantee that some people will follow suit.

The indigenous forces hooked up.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the high priest's expression softened slightly, and then he began to give an impassioned speech, "...What does this mean? It means that they are getting more and more crazy, it means that they already know that they can't defeat us, it means..."

The flames destroyed all sins, including the corpses of the indigenous NPCs.

The people around Qiao Shan curled their lips and whispered, "This angle is also novel, as if we were the ones who dropped the nuclear bomb."

"knew!"

"Who really cares about the online ecological environment?"

“Don’t talk too much about offline things!”

"Shh!" Qiao Shan gave him a warning look.

Nowadays, the population under the system is divided into various labels. The most insignificant are the system's tool NPCs. Needless to say, these people are just like inanimate props. They are nothing more than talking and knowing.

If you interact with players according to the script, you are the least likely to become this spy.

They have not been accepted by the system and live like weeds in the game area. Naturally, there are some who are good at it and some who are bad at it. The former have been able to integrate into the system's ecology, while the latter... there are many people who have no clothes to wear and are precarious.

"Captain, don't you understand this? It's all business..."

miserable!

How miserable!

The speech boosted morale a little, at least on the surface, and then the high priest paid attention to outsiders like Qiao Shan.

"It's all here? It's so miserable!"

Another type of people, the indigenous NPCs, are the indigenous population under the rule of the system.

The second-level commander of the Dashuihuang Regiment from his side came forward this time to socialize with the high priest. Qiao Shan didn't want to get involved, so he got on his griffin mount and flew into the sky.

"They don't even spare the elderly and children. What a beast!"

"No, no, it's too disgusting."

The night vulture is not common during the day. This bird is extremely ugly. It has a pair of fleshy wings shaped like a bat, but covered with small lumps like sarcoma. It has three eyes, one yellow, one blue, and one red.

, the indigenous people regard this bird as an ominous omen, and some people worship this bird, thinking that it is a symbol of the ancient fallen indigenous god of death.

"The system will not tolerate them."

Then there are the players and tourists.

They are definitely related.

"Don't be surprised."

Immersion is not all a good thing.

This place is too close to the place where the accident happened. Who could it be if it wasn't an indigenous aboriginal? It couldn't be a tourist player, right?

A dozen gryphon knights were spread out. The village was not big, so it didn't take much time.

Qiao Shan left three people on top and jumped into the entrance with the rest.
To be continued...
