Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

Everyone leaned over and looked down, and just as the orange cat said, the monsters besieging Ximu Town were coming from all directions.

A group of monsters that looked like a tide surrounded Ximu Town.

The guards and villagers inside are fighting back with the help of the towering fortifications built around Ximu Town.

However, looking down from the sky, Ximu Town is almost in a desperate area.

There were no reinforcements around it, and there was no special existence inside it that could repel these monsters.

If Rune and others had not appeared, perhaps in just a few dozen minutes, this town would have completely disappeared from Beloberg's territory.

At this moment, it is like a lonely island in the ocean, which may be swallowed up by the surrounding waves at any time.

Rune narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene below, feeling extremely confused.

We had clearly helped Ximu Town repel a large wave of monsters before, but now so many monsters appeared again.

It's just a small town, how could it attract so much attention from monsters?

There must be something fishy here!

At the same time, after careful observation again, Rune completely confirmed that the monsters below were just as he had imagined before, and were different from those he had encountered before.

In the past, in the land of Beloberg, there were more monsters developed or recruited by the Hydra Church.

Those monsters are full of corrosion and erosion, and are good at polluting the surrounding ground.

But the monsters before him were even more ferocious and bloody, and their combat power was even stronger, as if they were here just to devour flesh and blood.

There were dark red marks on their bodies that looked like cracks.

At the same time, genetic signs of various ancient creatures also appeared in these monsters.

For example, lizards with fleshy wings and rhinos with all kinds of strange-shaped tumors.

It can be clearly seen that these monsters are not the same as the monsters under the father's command.

Could it be that a new evil god has awakened?

Rune had some guesses in his mind.

As the world becomes increasingly chaotic, we must report the situation immediately.

Rune pondered for a while, and all the members on the airship were ready for battle.

The guards of Ximu Town below also saw the arrival of Rune and others. Their hearts were filled with hope and they worked even harder to deal with the monsters.

Airships in the sky continued to drop bombs to isolate the monsters that came to support.

Rune and others jumped off the airship and landed directly on the fortifications of Ximu Town, helping the soldiers in the city to fight against these monsters.

As Rune stepped onto the top of the fortification, a monster peeked out from below.

The shotgun of destiny had already been prepared for these monsters, and it fired at them.

Before a lizard could figure out what was happening, its head exploded.

The soldiers who were shooting at the monsters with crossbows nearby were all staring in amazement.

He was also a trained and experienced soldier, but he had never seen an individual weapon with such powerful power.

And Kasruto was not at all vague. The Holy Light Shotgun in his hand looked even more exaggerated than Rune's.

The white holy light shines like a special effect among the monsters, and one shot can clear out a large area.

For these monsters with the aura of evil gods, Kasruituo's holy light obviously has a stronger restraining effect.

The orange cat and other Sequence 6 warriors took action one after another, and the offensive and defensive situation changed in an instant.

Just five minutes later, the arrival of Rune and others reversed the current situation on the battlefield.

Even Rune led the extraordinary people to kill their way out of the town.

With the help of airships in the sky and extraordinary people underground, the situation in Ximu Town improved immediately.

Those monsters went from a tidal wave of attacks at the beginning to a defeated force now.

Seeing Rune and others, the monsters even began to flee desperately.

Within 10 minutes, the battlefield was quiet and the soldiers were busy dealing with the wounded and the bodies of the monsters.

The villagers were busy rebuilding their fortifications, fearing that the monsters would return again.

Among the busy crowd, an old man and an officer walked quickly towards Rune.

When he arrived, the officer immediately saluted Rune with admiration in his eyes: "Sergeant Arsen of the Beloberg Navy, meet Colonel Rune. The one next to me is the mayor of Creekwood Town. Your name is Malik."

Malik looked at Rune with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you for saving our Ximu Town twice. If it weren't for you, Ximu Town would have been slaughtered by these monsters. I don't know how many women and children would have been hurt by them. Thank you so much, Commander!"

Rune nodded slightly and said, "These are all part of my job. You are Beloberg's subjects, so you are naturally protected by Beloberg. But what is the situation in Ximu Town? Why did so many monsters besiege it? It seems a little unusual."

Mayor Malik did not hide anything about this matter.

He said: "Originally, Ximu Town had never encountered such a situation before. The reason why it was besieged by so many monsters all started with that incident."

Having said that, Malik paused, waiting for Rune's response.

Rune motioned for him to continue down.

After getting permission, Malik said, "A month ago, a strange thing suddenly happened in our town. A thick fog that could not be dispersed suddenly appeared in the church where we worship the God of Life."

"The situation inside the church has completely changed. It's like a different world."

"We sent some young and strong villagers there and found many unclear stone statues inside."

"But whoever enters will eventually get lost and come out inexplicably a few hours later."

"Everyone who enters will, without exception, become seriously ill upon coming out."

"We reported this strange incident to Belloberg at the time, and Belloberg later sent Sergeant Alsen to guard the area while waiting for someone to come and investigate."

"But the promised investigation team has yet to arrive, so we can only wait patiently."

"At the same time, since this strange phenomenon appeared in the church, various monsters have gradually appeared around and attacked Ximu Town."

"There weren't that many monsters at the beginning, only one or two, four or five. We could easily deal with them if we joined forces."

"As a result, Sergeant Arsen immediately discovered something was wrong and asked us to build strong fortifications. Sure enough, more and more monsters appeared afterwards!"

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Sergeant Arsen and his soldiers for protecting Ximu Town. This is how Ximu Town survived until the arrival of Lord Rune. Otherwise, Ximu Town would have been gone long ago."

In response to the mayor's thanks, Arsen said, "It's my job."

After he answered the mayor's words, he turned to look at Rune, "Colonel, I have one more thing to add about the mayor's words."

"You said."

"In addition to what the mayor reported, there is another particularly strange thing."

Sergeant Arsen said seriously,

"When I predicted that Ximu Town might be attacked by the big beam monster, I immediately sent a message to Beloberg requesting support, but both the message I sent and the contact person I sent disappeared without a trace."

"So until now, except for you who flew over from the sky and saw our situation, other areas knew nothing about the situation in Riverwood Town. I suspect that someone around us is deliberately targeting us."

After hearing this, Rune thought about it carefully.

"The problem you mentioned is indeed very serious, but my preliminary estimate is that there shouldn't be any problems on Beloberg's side."

"I just came from there. Everything related to monsters is in the hands of core personnel, and the review is very strict."

"It shouldn't be that there is a ghost inside"

"After all, if it was an insider, not sending reinforcements would be too direct. Ximu Town should not allow a hidden agent who could infiltrate the core area to be exposed so directly."

"There must be pagans lurking around. They have blocked the transmission of information from Ximu Town. If nothing unexpected happens, the entire Ximu Town is still under their surveillance."

At this point, Rune immediately said, "Major Orange Cat."

"Here." The orange cat beside him took a step forward.

"Lead twenty extraordinary people to investigate around Ximu Town to see if there is anything suspicious."

"Yes!"

"Hill." Rune said again.

Hill stepped forward silently, lowered his head and waited for orders.

"You also lead twenty extraordinary people to search the town for relevant clues."

Hill left with the extraordinary person.

"Liad, you lead the remaining extraordinary people to help Ximu Town rebuild its fortifications and build some magic defense towers for them. At the same time, you should prevent the enemy from attacking again."

"Casruituo, come with me and see what's going on in the church."

After everything was arranged, the mayor and the sergeant took Rune and the other man to the church the mayor mentioned.

In Beloberg, almost all other religions are allowed as long as they do not believe in pagan religions.

The largest sects are naturally the Knights and the Holy Temple, but at the same time the Church of Life is also one of the large churches in Beloberg.

There are many people in this land who believe in the Goddess of Life.

After a few quick steps, I arrived in front of the Church of Life. At this moment, there were countless creepers and vines entwined around the stone building.

They exude a rich green color and are full of vitality.

Believers in the Goddess of Life will naturally not eradicate these plants. Instead, they will believe that they are the favor of the Goddess.

"This is the Life Church of our town, where the goddess is worshipped."

The mayor looked up at the church in front of him, his eyes filled with fervent admiration.

Rune also expressed full understanding of this feeling of worship.

People need something to hope for at all times, especially in such a chaotic world where people can lose their lives at any time and are threatened by monsters. People are under greater pressure and need some kind of faith to rely on.

What's more, now that such a miracle has occurred in the Church of Life, the believers here might even think that this is really a sign of the goddess appearing.

It’s just that these believers have not been “chosen by the goddess”, so they cannot listen to the goddess’ teachings.

But Rune was skeptical about what happened in the Church of Life and was not sure that it was the advent of the so-called goddess.

Because as a transcendent being, he naturally knew what price a god would have to pay if he wanted to descend.

Just like those evil gods, their real bodies cannot even enter the world, and they can only invade through their own subordinates.

Even if his generals such as Hydra and other giants want to descend into the void, they will have to sacrifice a lot of things in exchange.

Therefore, we need to further understand the current church incident in order to know the situation.

Watching Rune and Castruituo push open the stone door of the church, the sergeant and the mayor were waiting respectfully outside the door.

I hope the two of them can solve the secrets of the current church!

The moment Rune pushed open the stone door, just as the mayor had said, thick white fog surged out.

He and Kasruituo entered the white fog and immediately realized something was wrong.

The atmosphere was a bit weird, and at the same time, I could feel that a crisis was coming.

The holy light on Kasruituo's body even surged out naturally, forming a faint protective film around him.

"Colonel, there is something wrong here. It doesn't look like the place where the Goddess of Life exists at all!" Kasruituo noticed the mysterious atmosphere.

Lu En smiled and said, "You are right. This is indeed not the land of the Goddess of Life."

"From the first moment I stepped into this place, I sensed the weirdness of this place. After all, I have never heard of a church of the goddess of life that draws vitality from others."

Just now, Rune used the peeping eye to look around.

The white mist suddenly changed in his eyes.

Their essence is not some kind of real fog, but a whole group of extremely tiny biological individuals.

Like wild beasts, they pounced madly on any living thing.

Rune could even see their limbs and their mouthparts.

They frantically want to devour all the life force around them, and they seem to carry some toxins that can cause hallucinations.

This is also the fundamental reason why people who enter the Church of Life get lost and become seriously ill after leaving.

Rune snorted coldly, and the "fog" around him was forced back by the sudden burst of power from him.

A vacuum zone of several tens of meters suddenly appeared around him.

Everything around me began to appear clear.

This is definitely not the interior of a church.

The vast plain-like area proves that the church is just an "entrance" to this place.

"A crack in an alien space?" This was the first word that came to Rune's mind.

Perhaps, this place is similar to the border of the void.

"Let me see which 'god' is lying here, and who is playing tricks on me."

Rune led Kasruto forward.

As they went deeper, the white mist around them began to become restless and manic.

They wanted to rush towards Rune, but they were unable to do so and could only rage helplessly.

And Rune soon saw the stone statue that the mayor mentioned.

These stone statues look old and badly damaged, but one can still roughly judge their original appearance.

The stone statues are different, but they all have one thing in common: they are filled with the breath of life.

For example, a tree girl with lush branches and leaves, a dancing girl covered with thin snakes, or a bird-like monster with a human head that is hatching life.

When Rune saw the stone statue, he also understood.

The god of fertility.

A chaotic neutral existence.
