Don't call me evil god

Chapter 860 I fight the Crusaders?!

"I have set up a temporary arcane barrier array here. It needs to be recharged every half an hour to maintain it."

"If the barrier is impacted, its effectiveness will be shorter, so be aware of this!"

“You can roughly tell its current state through the light effect.”

Seeing the knowledge-seeking believers arriving here one after another through the [Summoning Ceremony], Countess Ceylon breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly informed everyone of the things that needed to be paid attention to in the magic circle, and immediately a mage believer volunteered to come forward:
"I'll do it, I can do it!"

The task of charging the magic circle is actually a hard job for the mage.

Not much technical content.

Enter a meditative state and guide the arcane energy in the magic network to replenish the magic circle to maintain the normal operation of the magic.

Normally, this job can be replaced by magic crystals.

This is also the operating principle of various magic arrays in the Mage Tower.

But conditions are tight right now, and there is no time to transfer enough magic crystals to maintain the long-term stable operation of the magic circle. We can only use the most primitive "human-shaped crystal" first and use the wizard as a magic crystal.

The shelter provided by this barrier can provide them with a relatively safe place to welcome the continuous flow of help that arrives here.

"Where's the ritual that the mission said we were going to destroy? Where are the cultists!"

Brandon looked around menacingly, trying to find the exact target of the [Stop the Ritual] mission they had received.

He had already grasped the weapon in his hand, and he looked like he would rush over and beat the opponent up and chop him into minced meat as soon as he found the target.

When it comes to dealing with cultists, Brandon now has plenty of experience.

There is no point in fighting the monsters summoned by the cultists, or the followers who are bewitched and controlled by them.

To put it bluntly, these things are all "consumables", and the cultists don't care about their casualties at all!

Anyway, they can continue to summon monsters after they die, so as long as there are enough sacrifices, they can make as many as they want;

As for those bewitched followers, their original fate was to be sacrificed after being used and their final value squeezed out. Now it is nothing more than using their "value" in another way.

The best way to really inflict a heavy blow to the cultists is to carry out a decapitation operation!
Kill the guy who's leading the ceremony;
Without the blessing and influence of the evil god's power, these guys who take the crooked path will become very vulnerable!

……

The Countess of Ceylon raised her hand with a grim expression and pointed at the golden beam of light that pierced the sky and the earth not far away.

"That's the one."

"What the hell?!!"

Brandon nearly fainted from gasping for air.

The exclamations were a little out of tune and cracked.

In his imagination.

Shouldn't the ritual performed by the "cultists" be like the one in the Bloody Roulette stronghold, or the one performed by the "envoy" in the Stone Fortress?

It looked extremely evil at first glance, with corpses and dried blood everywhere from sacrifices, and cultists with strange movements lurking around.

But the so-called golden pillar of light that I saw before my eyes was clearly emitting an incomparably sacred aura, and it seemed like a reassuring ray of light and hope in this world filled with blood.

Now you tell him that this thing is a ritual set up by cultists?

It doesn't look like the style at all!

The Countess of Ceylon confirmed solemnly:
"There is one thing we got wrong."

"Although it is hard to believe, the church rituals that the oracle asked us to stop this time were not promoted by the cultists."

"Instead... Archbishop Harris Eugene of the Glowing God Church is personally presiding over the event!"

Everyone present, every one of them.

I was stunned.

"Gudong."

Brandon swallowed hard.
“Love… … Determined?”

Countess Ceylon nodded: "Re-read your mission instructions. The target is very clear."

"This is impossible!?"

The second person to scream in shock was Miranda, who had just been summoned and couldn't even stand steadily.

For others, the fact that the ceremony was presided over by the Archbishop of the Church of the Glowing God was a shock to them. But for Miranda, it was like another heavy blow to her already severely impacted worldview!
She was completely stunned.

Not everyone in the Church of the Glowing God will follow the teachings so devoutly, not everyone can perform their duties well, and some may even neglect their duties and betray their beliefs.

Miranda has already understood and realized this.

But to say that the person who took the lead in abandoning the God of Light was Archbishop Harris Eugene? !
A large number of Crusaders on the border defense line were also willing to obey his orders and jointly caused this disaster that caused the [Past Glory] barrier to disappear? !
Miranda couldn't believe it.

She had seen Harris Eugene in person more than a month ago. He looked so sacred and majestic at the time, and didn't look like someone who would do such a thing at all!
After a moment's reaction, she subconsciously tried to make up for it:

"Could it be that someone tampered with the ceremony and something went wrong?"

"We must find a way to stop the ceremony from going on and rescue the Archbishop and the others!"

The person who answered this question was Gail.

His voice also became a little heavy.

"I'm afraid not."

"The instructions for the mission have been updated, Mimi, you can take a look again."

[Mission: Stop the Ritual]

[Description: Harris Eugene, the honorable cardinal from the Glowing God Church and the head of the College of Cardinals, has found a way to suppress the divine barrier through rituals for their plans and goals. Countless ordinary people have lost the greatest shelter they rely on for survival, and they are facing the threat of slaughter by monsters at any time! ]

[Stop them before this disaster becomes irreversible! ]

[Goal: Defeat Harris Eugene, stop the "Ceremony of Protocol No. 3", and restore the Barrier to its former glory! ]

[Task reward: none]

[Warning: Participating in this mission will lead to hostile reputation of the Glowing God Cult! ]

There are no rewards for tasks, and they even have negative consequences.

Although the elite believers who came to the scene to complete Nowen's instructions would not pick up knives and kill innocent people for a mere reward.

There are rewards for destroying the cultists, and that’s the icing on the cake!
If they have the ability and the cultists have affected their lives, then they have already found their way to death!

This time the situation is completely different!

The opponents they have to face have become the Crusaders on the border defense line!

It became the Cult of the God of Light, which has always been active in the front line of resisting monsters!

Moreover, if we only look at the "appearance" of this ceremony, it has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called "evil ritual"!
But those guys who are trying to disrupt the ceremony look like the real villains!

It was as if they were the ones who really intended to destroy the barrier of [Past Glory]!
"We fight the Crusaders?!"

"real or fake?!"
