Chapter 884 The lingering ghost
……

"court death!"

"What are you good for? We've supported you for so many years, and now the city is about to be smashed up."

"What's the point of standing on the city wall and shouting 'biubiubiu'?"

"Jump down and drive those damned remnants back into the forbidden zone!"

"quick!"

...

The walls of the Eternal Kingdom are bustling with activity.

King Kurans is currently displaying his skills there.

He was wearing a loose, oversized bathrobe and was cursing the priestesses of the Emerald Temple and the archers.

...

When the gods established the Eastern Forbidden Zone, they did not intend to leave any chance for these remnants, so the wall that the Eternal Kingdom uses to block the Eastern Forbidden Zone has no gate.

To defend, one must climb to the top of the inner wall and use ranged spells or weapons to defend.

The Scarface tribe probably knew this, so while sending teams to climb up the city wall to disperse the firepower, they also dug directly at the base of the city wall.

If there's no door, then we'll just carve one out of thin air.

The garrison within the Eternal Kingdom was powerless to stop it.

Before the city wall was breached, their spears and swords could not reach the survivors.

...

In fact, the permanent residents never expected things to turn out this way.

Logically speaking, the eastern restricted area is resource-poor, lacking both sufficient heat and raw materials for the remnants to forge weapons. Over the long years, this race has long forgotten these skills passed down from their ancestors.

Until a few years ago, they were still using weapons made of animal bones or rocks, which was quite primitive.

However, the ancient insectoids that crawled out from the abyss rift, and the undead blacksmith who arrived here at the same time, simultaneously fulfilled two necessary conditions.

Raw materials and forging techniques.

In the past, the bone knives and stone axes of the remnants would have instantly turned into pieces when they hit the city wall.

But now they have the ability to breach the city walls; it's just a matter of time.

...

On either side of the walls of the Eternal Kingdom, one is in light and the other in darkness, creating an extremely stark contrast.

Outside the city, shrouded in darkness, countless hopeful eyes gazed upon the battlefield on the city walls. A race suppressed for millennia might finally break free of its shackles today; how could they not be excited?

On the other side of the city walls, the permanent inhabitants presented a completely different picture.

The heavy hammer struck the city wall again and again, causing tremors that seemed to pierce the hearts of the eternal inhabitants. They had always known the legends about the forbidden zone, that ancient races that had committed grave crimes were imprisoned in that dark and desolate world, but these were just legends. No one had ever investigated them, nor had anyone imagined that one day a forbidden race would break free.

At this moment, the permanent inhabitants were filled with fear and unease.

Those who enjoy eternal blessings are often more afraid of the threat of death.

Especially since the people here once suffered an invasion by the shadows.

On the day the Usa Cats escaped, a dark shadow loomed over Serefis. The entire city was shrouded in gloom, and the deepest fears in people's hearts were stirred up. Something more terrifying than death was etched into their memories.

...

Fortunately, those who have come to the city today are only the descendants of exiled sinners, not the shadowy figures who have risen to power.

It's important to understand that the disappearance of a god is considered a top secret in other temples, known to almost no one among the lower-ranking believers. However, things are different in the Eternal Kingdom. The fraudster who impersonated the Emerald God was clearly dragged out of the temple, and all the eternal inhabitants knew about it, and consequently, they also learned about the disappearance of the Emerald God Horthus.

Furthermore, the blessing power of the priests of the Emerald Temple is waning day by day. Although the people are ignorant, they are not blind. They know that this eternal city may have lost the protection of the gods.

Therefore, if another terrifying ruler like the Shadow were to descend, they would be completely at a loss as to how to defend themselves. Perhaps their only option would be to prostrate themselves in worship.

All I can say is, thankfully, thankfully.

"Fortunately, they are just descendants of sinners from the forbidden zone."

"Fortunately, no one in power has invaded."

"Don't worry, those exiled sinners can't breach the city walls. These high walls have stood for countless years."

"Yes, as long as no superior descends, the Eternal City will never be in danger, never."

"Don't worry, everyone."

...

In the city's central hall, many eternal inhabitants knelt in prayer, offering their deities. Priests from the Emerald Temple moved among the crowd, soothing these restless souls.

They made a solemn vow.

"This is a high wall erected by the gods, which mortals cannot and will not be able to break through."

"Not even the shadow of evil."

"We just need to sincerely pray to the great Emerald God, and everything will pass, everything will be alright."

...

This is a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

Even the clergy at the bottom of the temple, who lacked spiritual vision, knew this well: whenever suffering came, it was the perfect opportunity to plunder faith. This was an unchanging truth, and in this age when the gods were lost and blessings were dwindling, the power of faith had become even more precious.

We certainly couldn't miss this opportunity...

...

The priests of the Emerald Temple repeated their words, soothing the souls of the eternal inhabitants.

These domesticated lambs will soon offer their faith, making the blessings of the Emerald Temple abundant once again.

That's why they say the priesthood is that of a shepherd.
……

"Everything will be alright..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The shepherd was repeating his nonsense when he suddenly noticed that many people who were bowing in prayer in the square had raised their heads and were staring at the sky in astonishment, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.

Quiet, no, deathly still.

The Eternal Kingdom fell into a moment of deathly silence.

Because they not only saw the figure of a superior climbing up into the sky from the other side of the city wall, but they also recognized that it was the same figure that had swept through half of Selphis many years ago.

...

"No... how could it be him..."

"Shadow...it really is him!"

"Oh my god, he's back..."

Screams, wails, and cries began to rise within the eternal kingdom.

Many people didn't even have time to let out a cry before fainting and losing consciousness.

The shadow that darkened their hearts was too deep.

Located in the eastern part of Os-Nargue, many of the residents were victims of the port of Selefese on the western coast. Fearing that sea, they moved inland to the area closest to the city walls, only to encounter the shadows once again here.
