Chapter 916 Death Screamer

This trick worked surprisingly well.

The temporary military court was opened for only half a month, and all the gangs in Tevram City disappeared.

Either they were completely wiped out, or they hid themselves.

Not to mention murder, even theft cases have been greatly reduced, and public security has never been better.

As the leader of this matter, Gavin naturally won countless praises.

Bang!

After reading the latest intelligence in his hand, Gavin slammed the table heavily and said angrily: "We can't wait any longer. We must flatten their nest as soon as possible. These guys actually reached out to the Furen coalition. They really do whatever it takes for their own interests. Now it's just training.

If they assassinate our commanders at all levels during our war with the Tukans, the damage caused will be immeasurable."

Ordinary people only see Gavin's victory over the Shadow Master Guild.

But they don't know the damage and losses caused to Gavin by those shadow assassins in secret.

They launched a crazy revenge, assassinating a large number of exclusive priests of the Lady of Strategy. In just half a month, the death toll reached 300.

The trouble is that these shadow assassins have the means to imprison souls, and the exclusive priests assassinated by them cannot be resurrected.

Although most of these 300 people are ordinary exclusive priests, it is also a big loss for Gavin and his team. These are not ordinary soldiers, but 300 excellent middle and low-level commanders.

"After half a month of preparation, everything else is mature, but how to deal with the divine incarnation of the Lord of Shadows?" Catherine pointed out the biggest problem.

"It's not easy to kill him, but I still have a way to trap him for a while and buy time for us to destroy the Shadow Master Guild." Gavin answered confidently.

"Then I will launch a surprise attack on the remaining secret bases of the Shadow Master Guild in the city of Tevram, and pull out all the hidden people who know their identities to create momentum for you."

They had already formulated a detailed battle plan, and Catherine and Gavin had a clear division of labor.

Wherever people go, they will inevitably leave traces.

The shadow thieves were no exception. They were an extremely large organization with a variety of personnel. Their internal regulations were rigorous, but they were actually implemented by people, and people were sometimes careless and lazy.

Especially the Shadow Master Guild in Tevram City, which had never had a strong opponent. Many members of the Shadow Master Guild acted very arrogantly and left more traces.

When Gavin launched a comprehensive cleanup against them, he naturally seized a lot of intelligence and information from them.

Some of them had been used by them, and some of them were consciously suppressed by them, waiting for the right time to be used again, so as to maximize their interests.

"All the Knights of the Crimson Church are dispatched to eliminate the designated targets."

With Catherine's order, the eight statues of the Lady of Strategy in Tevram City lit up with magical auras at the same time, and the Knights who had gathered in front of the statues disappeared instantly.

"The Knights of the Crimson Church have been dispatched. It seems that a thief's nest has been discovered and a comprehensive cleanup is about to begin."

"I didn't expect that Ms. Strategy's ability can be used in urban security management. I used to think that she could only be used in war!"

"Didn't you hear what General Gavin said? This is a war against evil and crime. This is also a kind of war, and it will become normalized, because evil and crime are difficult to completely eliminate, but they can be suppressed, allowing kind people to live and work in peace."

"Business war is also a special battlefield, and there is also a place for Ms. Strategy. I heard that those businessmen are more active than those soldiers. , go to the church every day to listen to the priests explain the way of war. I heard that many people benefited a lot. Many commercial competition methods have found corresponding exclusive names in the way of war. "

"In fact, the creed of the lady of strategy is in our lives, but we didn't find it originally. For example, the use plan of the ten-day salary, the farming plan for the next year, the production and transportation plan of goods, etc., all belong to the part of the planning priesthood. If you have a clear idea, some things will become much simpler. "

The citizens of Tevram are accustomed to this kind of collective transmission, and there is even a strong sense of pride and love in their words.

Because this ability can not only be used to investigate crimes, but also to stop crimes. It is at the artifact level.

Once a crime occurs in Tevram City, as long as the news is transmitted to the nearest statue of the lady of strategy, these knights of the Crimson Church can arrive at the crime scene instantly, and many crimes often do not even have the opportunity to escape from the scene.

This greatly increases the difficulty of not being arrested for crimes in Tevram City, and many petty thieves dare not act easily.

They naturally attached more importance to the teachings of Lady Strategy, and made a deep interpretation, and actually found something useful in them.

This also represents the transformation of the Church of Lady Strategy itself.

Under the leadership of Catherine, the Crimson Cult tended to be more of a military organization, and the objects of their propaganda were professional soldiers or mercenaries.

However, after Gavin was canonized as the chief elect by Lady Strategy, some things began to change subtly. He began to classify the followers of Lady Strategy more carefully, dividing them into three parts: war, business, and people's livelihood.

War is still the general direction, which is the main job of Ms. Strategy after all.

Business and livelihood are derivatives, and the way of war can be disassembled and integrated into business and people's daily life.

This proportion will gradually become the mainstream as time goes by, and may even replace war.

After all, war may not always happen, but business and livelihood are growing with the development of the whole society.

With these two derivatives, the spread of Ms. Strategy's faith will be wider and easier to accept.

However, it is still in the experimental stage. If you want to see the results, you still need those Sesk merchants to flexibly apply the strategies and tactics in Ms. Strategy's way of war to business competition and gain a lot of victory.

Only when they praise Ms. Strategy's way of war and cause countless ordinary people who yearn for success to imitate and learn, will the derivative priesthood be rolled out on a large scale.

There is nothing worth mentioning about the large-scale cleanup of the Shadow Master Guild in Tevram City this time.

The most difficult thing about these shadow thieves of the Shadow Master Guild is their ability to assassinate in the dark. When they are exposed to the sun, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

As devout believers of the Lady of Strategy, the Knights of the Crimson Church are best at formulating strategic plans. In the past half month, they have accumulated rich combat experience.

According to the characteristics of those shadow thieves, they flexibly adjusted the composition of the team members and formulated tactics specifically for them.

When a shadow thief has no shadow to use, his combat effectiveness is immediately reduced to half.

Except for three secret nests that have been evacuated in advance, the others were wiped out.

The three secret nests that retreated in advance were not because of the leak of information, but because they had already withdrawn before that. They should have noticed that the nest had been exposed in advance and decisively abandoned it.

The strategic and tactical purpose of this all-out attack was achieved.

Knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

It is not Gavin and his team's real purpose to eliminate these secret nests that have already controlled the intelligence.

What they really want is to scare all the rats in the secret nests that have not been discovered.

Most of these frightened rats will run to a place they think is safe, and this place is their headquarters - Shadow Nest.

This is an instinct of most creatures, and these shadow thieves are no exception.

The Shadow Nest, which has always been relatively deserted, is overcrowded. Human-shaped shadows can be seen swaying everywhere, and whispers are slowly getting louder, and finally turning into quarrels.

"If we keep hiding like this, the city of Tevram will completely change its owner. We must launch a counterattack."

"How to fight back? The other party not only controls the entire army of Tevram City, but is also good at manipulating people's hearts, so that most of the citizens' hearts have turned to them. We have been turned into stinking rats by them.

Once the identity is exposed, those who usually bow to us will dare to attack us without them having to take action, and bring us to justice.

We did arrange assassinations, but the effect we achieved was only to disgust the other party, but did not hurt them. Instead, more sacred strategists emerged."

"They are becoming more and more familiar with our assassination methods, and they have made Targeted defense, they also have the means to imprison souls. If they fail, it will not only be as simple as losing a few good players, but also leak a lot of our intelligence. Many secret bases are exposed in this way, causing us more serious losses. "

"Are we just going to watch, watching the Tevram City that we have run for many years being taken away by others? Are you willing?"

"What if you are not willing? Even the incarnation of the Lord of Shadows was killed by the other party in public. Now they are making a fuss about this in Tevram City, and publicizing everywhere that the Lord of Shadows has fallen.

This is also the reason why those ordinary people dare to despise us, thinking that without the protection of the Lord of Shadows, our decline is a matter of time.

Fortunately, at present, This kind of cognition only exists in Tevram City. If it spreads on a large scale, it will have a more serious impact on my master. "

"It is only a matter of time before it spreads on a large scale. You have seen their memory projections before. They will definitely produce them on a large scale and broadcast them all over the world."

"We must stop it. We must stop this from happening!"

"How to stop it? We don't know where they will choose to broadcast it, nor do we know the broadcast time. By the time we get the news and rush over, I am afraid that the projection will have been completed. Can we assassinate all those who watched the memory projection? If we really do that, my master will be in real danger."

"It is easy to spread rumors but difficult to refute them. Once this rumor spreads, If we want to prove this, it will probably take years or even decades. "

"Before considering these long-term things, we should consider our current situation."

"Our current situation? What do you mean?"

"I mean, is Shadow Nest really safe now? So many of our brothers have been killed by the other side. They must have known about the existence of Shadow Nest. Do you think that with their ruthless means, they will be satisfied with the gains in Tevram City? And not set their sights on our Shadow Nest?"

"Haha... your worry is a bit redundant. The location of Shadow Nest is not fixed, but changes with the movement of the Shadow Demiplane itself. Ordinary people can't find it here.

Moreover, the shadow demiplane is our world. Our lord's Kingdom of Shadows is here. It's fine if the other party doesn't come. If they really appear here, they must know what it means to be the master of shadows. "

"Don't say too much, that Ms. Strategist Chosen also has another identity, the blasphemer of the immortal revenge goddess Qiyalansari. It is said that her immortal power was stolen by him, and he is now also good at using the power of shadows. , the souls and shadows of our brothers were imprisoned by him in this way.

He even formed a powerful shadow army, and they were also at home in the shadow demiplane. "

Ouch, ouch, ouch...

A series of piercing screams pierced the sky above the shadow nest. This scream was so harsh and unpleasant that it was like the last cry of a dying person before death. It was filled with the desire for life and the fear of death. , and there is endless resentment, seeming to resent why it was him who died.

"The screams of death screamers, there are intruders, there are intruders who have invaded the Shadow Nest territory."

"Lord of Shadows, what is that? A manor? A manor that appeared out of thin air!"

"The Death Screamers were swallowed up and killed like this? Their challenge level is at least fifteen. Many high-level extraordinary teams will fall in front of them if they are not careful!"

"What is the origin of the other party?"

These screams are a kind of warning sound to the shadow thieves. They are police sentries kept on the outside by the shadow nest, and they are also their first line of defense.

After hearing their warning, all the shadow thieves couldn't help but ran out to observe the situation, and they saw a scene they would never forget.

No more than one kilometer away from the Shadow Nest, the shadows were gathering in abnormal fluctuations, and then a manor emerged from scratch little by little.

This manor, composed of black and white, exudes a strong shadowy atmosphere, but it is still incompatible with its surroundings.

The reason why the shadow demiplane is called the shadow plane is because everything here is made of shadows - the shadow of the forest, the shadow of the mountains, the shadow of the desert, it seems that everything in the plane casts a shadow, Finally they all gathered here.

Everything here is made of shadow matter, a semi-element mixed with equal amounts of positive and negative energy, at least the native creatures.

This kind of semi-element is stable in the shadow plane, but once it is taken out of the shadow plane, it can stay for a short time if it is dark outside. Once exposed to sunlight, the shadow matter will immediately dissipate.

This characteristic is similar to that of vampires, leading many to believe that vampires originated from the Shadow Plane.

This is why, compared to the Shadow Plane, the Shadow Plane is less well-known, because the native creatures cannot leave here and enter other planes without the help of special spells.

The shadow plane is an exception, but there is no direct connection between the two planes, so it must pass through the material plane.

The Shadow Plane is more like a dark copy of the main material world. Negative energy has the upper hand here. If divided proportionally, it can account for 70% - if there is no positive energy at all, it is not the Shadow Plane. , but a negative energy plane.

The shadow aura emanating from the manor was very obvious, and one could tell at a glance that a shadow visitor was coming, but soon the shadow thieves felt the familiar shadow aura above, which was extremely powerful.

Not only did the shadow plane not reject him, on the contrary, increasingly powerful shadow energy gathered around him.

There were three death screamers who happened to be in the position where Shadow Manor appeared, giving them no chance to escape. The manor directly flashed with dark light and turned into a huge beam of light, which fell directly on them.

They didn't even have a chance to let out a final scream, and were vaporized on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, a scene that made those shadow thieves even more frightened appeared. The death screamers who had just been killed actually floated out of the shadow manor again, but they were no longer the guard posts of the shadow nest, but the ones being attacked by the opponent. The undead servants he controlled rushed toward the Shadow Nest in a menacing manner.

And they are just the vanguard, and there are more shadows behind them-six-armed snake demon, shadow dragon, violent wind, crouching night shadow, flying winged night shadow, etc.

Any of these terrifying beings can turn the material plane upside down if you pull them out. Now they are coming in groups and rushing over in legion mode.

The first to rush forward to face this army of shadows were the remaining death screamers. These terrifying ghosts had no idea what fear was.

Not only are these death screamers emitting terrifying and disturbing screams all the time, but their appearance is also very terrifying. His upper body looks like a shriveled and withered skeleton, his muscles and skin are dry and pale, and his pupils are full of Shining with a soul-stirring light, its body may be wrapped in bandages or tattered clothes, its lower body is like a small whirlwind, and its skull-like face is twisted in extreme pain.

When it passes through your body, you will realize that everything is manifested by energy.

This kind of terrifying undead is very similar to the horror demon. It is also not born through the soul, but is spawned by common obsessions. When an area is shrouded in death and despair all the year round, it will also be the time when they breed and shroud. The more death and despair there is in this area, the more people are trapped in the same situation, and the more powerful the death screamers are. (End of chapter)
