Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Ron said goodbye to Gillianis in a hurry and followed Yelena to the cathedral in Green Swamp Town. Since the priests of Fromm Town also moved here with the civilians, it was much more lively than before.

However, they are no longer the leaders. The former "special" Tymora priest Bunny has become their leader, and two men who are said to have dark pasts have become her deputies.

Today one of them went to the countryside to preach and give alms, so it was Ron who was received by Grant.

"Glenn, what happened?" Ron asked straight to the point after following him into a secret room on the side.

Grant did not answer Ron directly. Instead, he took out a letter with a blasphemous mark from his personal place and handed it to Ron carefully: "My Lord, you will understand after reading this."

"I'm sorry, because this kind of secret letter is not allowed to fall into the hands of believers of the true God, so once it is purified, it will be destroyed immediately. We can only maintain the status quo without any further action. But please rest assured, this is just a letter, and there is no risk of it getting out of control."

Ron glanced at the other party suspiciously. This letter did not look like a serious letter. Even Ron, who had a limited fear of God, could feel the ominous aura emanating from it. He carefully opened the envelope and spread the letter paper in front of him.

"To the devout believers, Sir Grant..."

This is a daily letter between believers of the Dark Lord. In the first half, the writer expressed in detail his longing and love for Gulen, and expressed his deep feelings that went beyond friendship with a tactful tone and beautiful handwriting. The more important second half explained that they had received some instructions to secretly lurk in the delusion land in batches in order to realize the plan of "opening the road to heaven."

The writer of the letter hoped that Glenn and the other man could help them avoid the lord's sight, but Glenn handed the letter to Ron instead.

"I really don't want to get involved in their affairs, sir," Grant sighed. "Although I am not qualified to know the full picture of the current delusion land, I can roughly guess that the danger we are facing may be the same as their goal. We can't let them succeed."

"Don't worry, they won't," Ron smiled after reading the letter, "Thank you for your efforts, Pastor Grant."

"But I'm a little curious, didn't you cut off ties with them before? Why did they come to you?"

"They don't believe in the right gods, so it's not so easy to cut off ties with them..." Ge Lan smiled bitterly, "I thought they had already confirmed that I died in that demon village like everyone else, but I didn't expect that they would take the initiative to come to me recently."

"I did tell them that I was not suitable to participate in the event at the moment, but unfortunately... the person who wrote the letter has a special relationship with me. She refused to believe it no matter what and just thought that I had a bigger plan, such as this action."

"That's why she sent me a message asking me to cooperate."

"Special relationship?" Ron looked at him curiously, and the latter's neck immediately turned red.

"It's not what you think! She and I don't have a particularly complicated relationship. It's just that she joined the guild, uh, went astray. It was my fault."

Ge Lan lowered his head in shame: "Perhaps this is the sin that I have not yet redeemed..."

"You should be ashamed," Ron shook his head regretfully and patted the other person on the shoulder. "So what are you going to do? Kill her and the other cultists for the sake of justice?"

Ge Lan was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Sir, this is exactly what I am struggling with. I am thinking--"

"Don't think about it. I completely understand that you don't want her to die," Ron waved his hand, "but you also have to understand that this is not an easy thing to do." "I know, from the letter, they seem to be taking more radical measures. This is what the organizers behind them advocate. I have no doubt that even if you magnanimously forgive her or even them, you can't save the souls that have been corroded to the depths."

Grant looked at Ron in confusion. "Sir, I know that when this happens, we usually let some of them go first, and then try to wipe them out when their main force comes into sight. But... can you do the opposite?"

"You mean, we should strike as soon as possible, so that they will give up and run away?"

"That's right. Look, the letter tells you the specific date, location, and method of infiltration. In two days, they will have a five-member team disguised as merchants coming north from the avenue. You may be able to -"

Ron looked into Grant's eyes, forcing the priest to swallow the rest of his words: "Sir?"

"Glenn, how credible do you think you are in their eyes now that you have been away from the past for so long?"

Ge Lan was stunned for a moment: "She is different, different from others, she shouldn't be..."

"Is she the leader of your group? Or do you think she is someone who could become the leader?"

The priest of Tymora hesitated for a moment and said, "No, sir, even if she can be a candidate, her rank should be quite low."

"Then why do you think that the cult can have the same feelings for you as she does? Let me be even more cold-blooded: Do you really think that after so long, she is still the same person she was before?"

"what do you mean--"

"Look, Grant, there is no wall thousands of meters long around the Delusion Land to block it from the outside world. The road only represents that caravans or travelers prefer to move along it. Then how do you determine why they choose to move forward along the road?"

"You know, you haven't walked this way before."

The back of Grant's neck suddenly felt a little cold: "What if, if you listened to my suggestion and ambushed them——"

"Not only will it not make them frightened, but it will further understand our details and even retaliate against us - especially you, Glen. Your reputation as a traitor will be established. I don't think the sect that believes in the Lord of Darkness is a group that repays evil with kindness. What do you think?"

"Yelena." Ron stood up and called Shadow Spirit's name. He knew that the other party should not have gone far.

"I'm here," Shadow Spirit stepped out from the shadows, "What do you need me to do?"

"Glenn, draw her the route map of the road you took to enter the Delusion Land. Yelena, I need you to patrol along the route as soon as possible. Don't miss any clues. Report back immediately if you find any."

"I suspect that they had already started to act before this so-called 'two days later'." (End of this chapter)
