It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 616 Framing, Cooperation, and an Arrogant Test

After finishing her spell, Shatis looked at the scene in the rain from afar with a cold expression.

"Using the disaster they themselves created—"

"The enemy probably never imagined that we, on the defensive, would not only fail to find a way to quell this disaster, but would instead make it even worse."

This is a case of reaping what you sow.

“Causing disaster is not the privilege of the enemy,” Rowe said, standing unmoved in the rain. “Since they like the rain so much, let them enjoy it as much as they want.”

As night fell, the intensifying rain flooded Lucas's camp like a flood.

"..."

Shatis glanced at him with a slightly expressionless expression.

"Are you doing this to frame those people from the Sun God Cult?"

"Did you figure it out?" Lowe smiled in the rain.

“Because you said before that you have never launched an attack,” Shatis said, “and given that the number of troops you have is not enough, the most likely beneficiary of doing this is the Cult of the Sun.”

Rain-making techniques have different effects depending on the person using them.

But basically no normal person would continue to pray for rain on an already extremely rainy day, and the church has never taught that.

The two people currently performing the spell are an apostle of the Goddess of Water and the most precious saint of the Church of Prayer. The consequences of praying for rain here are predictable.

It truly proves the saying: Too much blessing is a curse.

Shatis sighed softly. That's why he brought her and Vimir here. If waking her up was his original intention, then he really didn't have good intentions.

Do you want to incite them to turn against each other?

“No,” Rowe said calmly. “The Church of the Sun God is trying every means to prove itself. As I said, I just intend to kick them in the back.”

"..."

Looking at his profile on the hill, she was momentarily at a loss for words to describe this man.

The three teleported back to the valley under the cover of night.

Seeing that the two were almost completely soaked, Luo Wei pointed to the direction of their tent in the valley and said to Xia Tisi, "There is hot water available at any time. Why don't you come and take a bath with us?"

"No need."

Shatis's response was cold.

Luo Wei didn't press the matter, but he felt a little embarrassed as he thought about how she had put on her shoes after dancing, which were covered in dust, and then filled with water in the rain.

"I'll figure it out myself." As if sensing his good intentions, Shatis nodded.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Vimir and Lovi, he returned alone to the underground chapel of the amusement park.

……

three days later.

Everyone heard that Lucas had been stunned by the flood and had to relocate his camp.

On the morning of that day, the second prince, who had been lying low for three days, made a comeback and launched a fierce offensive.

Arttana and Shatis stood side by side on the city wall, keeping a close eye on every move below the battlefield.

"Those two are really serious," Elsa, one of the Three Demon Generals, said from afar. "Do they really not trust Lord Urs's barrier that much?"

The intense bombardment of magic cannons lasted all morning, each shot clearly carrying a pent-up rage. Urs, leaning against the city wall, glanced at the still-falling rain.

"The enemy might have some ulterior motive for attacking like this."

However, just as he had predicted, two minutes later a low roar suddenly came from all around the valley, and the rocks shook violently.

"What, what happened?!"

Cass and Elsa immediately became alert.

Everyone on the city wall sensed a magical fluctuation.

Arttana and Shatis leaned out to look, and right below them, near the city gate, something was crawling out of the ground in rows.

"That is…?"

The two of them quickly saw it clearly.

Although their bodies look like humans, they are actually undead, similar to corpses, and their bodies are quite agile despite decaying.

"They actually used something like this?"

Before they could react, the corpses got up and crashed into the valley's barrier, while more of their kind surged up from behind.

They surged forward, stepping on the corpses below as they climbed upwards, forming a dense, continuous mass.

Lucas's army stopped firing at this point.

In an instant, countless corpses had climbed to near the city wall. Attana's expression calmed slightly as she watched them rapidly ascend and continue to engulf her vision, as if trying to find the weakness of the valley's barrier.

"Mother Goddess! There are some here too!"

"Same here!"

"News has also come from the rear!"

Attana immediately realized that the other side intended to use the bodies of the undead to cover the entire valley, and ordered torches to be lit in the valley to light the way and prevent her people from panicking.

A scene that blotted out the sky quickly enveloped everything overhead, and just as the last gap was filled with countless corpses, blocking out the last ray of light—

All the corpses suddenly stopped at that moment.

In an instant, the valley fell into a deathly silence, with only the continuous sound of rain washing over it.

Elsa: "?"

"Wha...what's going on?"

No one answered her. At that moment, torches were lit on the city wall, and the entire valley was enveloped in a closed silence. Only the pale faces illuminated by the firelight reminded everyone that everything was not over yet.

Shatis pondered for a moment.

She then reached out and grabbed the outside of the barrier, pulling a corpse in by the neck with one hand. However, during this process, the corpse's body quickly melted into a pool of purple liquid.

“What is this?” asked Cass, one of the three demon generals.

Xia Tisi frowned and looked around, ignoring the fact that her clothes had also been splashed. She looked at her hands and then glanced up at the top of her head.

"I see, it's 'rain'."

She spoke softly, casting her gaze toward Arttana, who was standing there.

“This is not a corpse,” she explained, her face pale, “but a semi-physical vengeful spirit formed from rainwater, merely a ritual effect.”

"The effect of the ritual...?"

“You mean, these are all fake?” Cass asked. “Not exactly,” Chaltis shook her head, “after all, the rain is real.”

Almost at the same moment, the barrier around everyone suddenly lit up—not the barrier itself, but the pale purple glow emanating from the rain-soaked, ghostly figures, which spread rapidly, even the things that had touched Shatis's hands were glowing.

In an instant, the entire valley went from darkness to daylight, as if it were illuminated by a purple sun. The things were glowing with an eerie light, and their bodies gradually stuck together.

"It's corroding..."

Shatis glanced at her hands; it took the purification magic of the divine realm to completely clean them this time.

Meanwhile, the army of corpses that had enveloped the valley had gradually transformed into unrecognizable, sticky entities, like a thick, glowing layer of mud adhering to the entire barrier.

“Ugh…that’s disgusting,” Elsa said with disgust. “Like a slug.”

Urs gave a wry smile.

However, he simply shook his head indifferently at the look that Attana gave him, indicating that there was no need to worry.

The purple light that enveloped the valley lasted for about five minutes.

Then, as the divine power dissipated, the sticky mud quickly fell off, and the gray sky was gradually revealed under the washing of the heavy rain.

The second prince's army also withdrew after witnessing this moment.

"You slipped away so quickly," Elsa said sarcastically, arms crossed.

Shatis shook her head in place.

"The withdrawal was so decisive, it seemed like it was planned in advance."

She wasn't too optimistic. What was happening before her eyes seemed more like a test, or perhaps the enemy had indeed intended to do so, but stopped immediately after discovering that the situation far exceeded their expectations.

She could clearly sense a faint, distorted divine power emanating from those purple liquids.

"Then next time..."

Arttana watched as the Western soldiers withdrew in an orderly fashion.

The crisis in the valley has been temporarily averted, but there is no barrier like this in White Harbor Town. I can't help but pray for Lovely and Rowe there.

……

Baigang Town.

From a great distance, the garrison on the city wall watched as the western army stopped at the edge of their field of vision.

If someone hadn't pointed it out, many people wouldn't have seen the army there in the heavy rain.

"What are they doing?"

"...Could they be setting up a magic cannon?"

"What?! A magic cannon?! Can it even hit at this range?!"

However, the garrison commander's fears did not come true. After a brief pause, the western army pressed forward again, stopping several times along the way.

Lovely frowned upon seeing this.

"What are they dawdling about? Has Lucas lost his mind?"

“I don’t know if it got wet before,” Luo Wei joked from the side, “but now he’s definitely afraid you’ll make him lose his mind.”

"?"

Lovely glanced at him.

"...By the way, why are you covering your face again?"

"Could you please stop asking the same questions repeatedly?"

"Pfft... I wonder what's gotten into you that you're too ashamed to show your face?"

Lo Wei adjusted his mask, too lazy to argue with her. Lucas's caution was obviously because he was afraid they would flood Jinshan again, which also showed that he accepted the testimony of the Sun God Church and chose to cooperate.

Well... while we can't completely trust them, it's still a way of testing their limits.

As for the Sun God religion...

These people most likely want to find out who pinned the blame on them. Even if they can't conquer the town, they need to prove themselves to the second prince first, as that's the most important thing to them.

But this time they're probably going to be disappointed.

Who could possibly see that the person who actually did this had any awareness that the other party was looking for her?
Vimiel: Hmm...

There are so many people on the other side...

If a real fight breaks out, we absolutely cannot let him underestimate us this time!

What should I eat tonight...?

Vimir won't lose, keep it up!
Hmm... Luo Wei stroked her chin and pondered for a moment in the rain. Even if she dragged this guy out and said that she was the one who did it, the other party probably wouldn't believe her.

As they remained on guard, Lucas's army finally reached within 500 meters of the city gate.

Tensions were high between the two sides, and a solemn atmosphere hung over the distance from the city gate to the outskirts. Luo Wei stood coldly on the city wall in the heavy rain, watching and sensing a considerable number of gazes.

"..."

The garrison troops on the city wall were all holding bows and arrows, ready for battle.

However—after a stalemate of more than ten minutes, the force of about three thousand men brought by the Western General suddenly retreated on the spot.

"What……?"

Seeing that the other side was not just feinting, but was actually beginning to retreat slowly, Lovely frowned on the city wall.

The stationed knights looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't know whether to be puzzled or relieved. They had already put up such a threat, so why send troops if they were so hesitant to attack the town?
Luo Wei coldly raised his head in the heavy rain.

Of course, they're planning to play dirty tricks.

Since they couldn't gauge the situation, they naturally relied on the divine artifact to minimize the risks. The information they received from Attana earlier was probably the same. Should we say these people are a bit too arrogant?

The Sun God Cult is not just planning to cooperate with Lucas, they're practically riding roughshod over the entire Griffin Park.

But that's actually just right.

Just as Lovri was about to go up and say something to Lovely, the communication stone in his pocket suddenly lit up.

"..."

He remained calm and didn't take it out to look at it. Instead, he used his divine power to block the light emanating from the stone.

Then he lowered his mask and smiled—

The opportunity has arrived.
