our family is gone

Chapter 252 Loyalty is not absolute...

The cult fighter who fought against Boudica originally thought that he could kill a leader to boost his morale.

Unexpectedly, his little fighting skills were completely suppressed by Boudica. If he hadn't recovered well, he might have been chopped off a long time ago, but this also left him struggling to hold on, let alone organize an attack.

It's a pity that the power contained in his body has a limit, and Boudica has also keenly noticed that the healing speed of his wounds is slowing down, which proves that the enemy has begun to become weak.

Boudica made a tentative attack, that guy subconsciously crossed his claws to block in front of him, but this time the halberd didn't strike, instead turned to sweep across her hand.

The ax blade cut directly into the guy's waist, and when he drew out the halberd, the waist would fall out.

"what!"

An injury of this level didn't even need to be repaired, the blood that gushed out of the wound drained his last vitality, and he fell to the ground dangling.

Great weapons don't need human manipulation.

It's just that Boudica heard the boss talk about the troubles of these guys, so he swung his halberd and chopped them down. He didn't have the physical strength of a ghoul, so he just chopped them down with one blow.

Boudica kicked the thing out, its head rolled like a football, and the believers all avoided it wherever it went.

When the surrounding believers saw him hanging like this, their morale collapsed when they just got up, and everyone ran for their lives, who cares about your life?

As long as they were killed, they would die. Under certain circumstances, the soldiers seemed to understand that these guys were not as scary as they imagined.

Only a part of them fled to the rear, and most of the real senior believers fought against the army on the front line.

Fearless of pain and death, they rushed forward with their long guns, even if the bullets hit their bodies, they only paused for a moment.

These guys have obviously undergone rituals to strengthen their flesh and blood. Although there are only a dozen of them, they pose a great threat to the army.

But what is an army?
The army is a manifestation of collective strength. High-intensity training has smelted them together. The strength that can be erupted through close cooperation is simply not something that a few brave guys can shake.

These people have good strength, and they are fighting desperately, but it is still difficult to resist the collective power, and they are tightly blocked.

Once the battle line was unstable, Leonard rushed in directly with his sword, and he was somewhat embarrassed when dealing with large enemies or monsters.

But once he is facing a humanoid enemy, then he will show what it means to be strong and powerful!
The long sword thrust out and plunged into the cult warrior's chest, he pulled out his backhand to block the weapon, and then let out a loud shout.

"Accept the sanctions!"

The blade smoothly slashed across the head of a cult warrior who was about to break through the encirclement. The whole movement was done in one go, just in a breath.

These guys are completely arrogant based on their fearlessness and recovery ability, and their combat ability is full of flaws in the eyes of an experienced fighter.

Unlike Boudica who likes to tease his prey, Leonard prefers to end the battle neatly to save energy.

This is a military training, Lance did not make a move, he has been observing the battle situation.

During his observation, he also seemed to find that there were no Ascension Cultists implanted with [seeds] in this camp.

The ability shown by these senior cultists is only slightly stronger physically, and some have recovery ability, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the exaggerated recovery of seeds.

But thinking about it, Owendor City is a nearby big city, one of the main places where the Ascension Sect is active, and the clubhouse is also their key contact point for making money. It is normal for a few masters to sit in the city.

And the sheriff is from a small town with thousands of people, how can he be so determined to develop the sect without any benefit.

And here is a temporary dilapidated camp, and the trained people are sent outside, and it is impossible to have any masters stationed there.

Otherwise, there will be those guys everywhere, [seeds] will be flooded, and there will be no scarcity as they said.

During the two duels, Lance probably understood the effect of this [Seed]. After the fusion, he should have gained physical strength and recovery ability.

It recovers quickly when it is not a fatal injury, and mutates when it is fatally injured, and at the same time gains more powerful strength and recovery ability, but the consequences are obvious-the proliferation is out of control and it becomes a monster.

The difference between the sheriff and those in the clubhouse should be the difference in the degree of fusion. The sheriff just implanted it completely passively, and the ones in the clubhouse have more or less mastered it.

And the more direct one was the guy who pretended to sneak into the town at that time. His degree of integration should be the highest among all the people encountered, because he can control the mutated tentacles, although he turned into a fallen man in the end.

Many people still don't understand the details. What kind of experiments did the ancestor do on the human body to create that kind of ascended warrior?

It seems that a few should be left for Paracelsus to study carefully...

Among those believers are not only men, but also a small number of women.

"Don't kill me... I was captured by them... I beg you to save me..."

A young woman with a pretty face rushed forward crying and screaming, every movement of her body affected the worn-out clothes that almost only covered the key parts.

The woman's shout made the soldiers hesitate for a moment, and when she rushed over, the soldiers subconsciously avoided the woman with their guns.

But there is a price to be paid, the woman took the opportunity to approach, and saw her raise her hand, and a black smoke invisible to ordinary people passed over the soldiers.

In the next second, they seemed to have encountered something very terrifying, and the whole person fell into extreme panic and let out a shrill scream.

The spear array, which was still strong after repeated attacks, was shaken and even flinched.

And those cultists also seized this opportunity to rush forward, and they were about to break through the line of defense, but they didn't expect that a soldier actually resisted the sorcery of the cult priest, and instead burst out of strong determination in extreme fear!

"I will never let you go, unless you step on my dead body!"

A force surged out of his body, and in an instant he swung the spear like Zhao Yun possessed him, piercing the two directly like a string of candied haws, pulling out his hand and thrusting the spear into the eye socket of the other.

A horse breaks through the siege single-handedly, the heroic style is fierce and the enemy is timid!
Killing three people instantly, seeing the body holding the spear directly made the hearts of those believers tremble, and their movements could not help but pause.

But after all, it was only a moment, and those guys reacted in a blink of an eye, and the cult priest raised his hand as if he wanted to perform the magic again.

It's just that there was a gunshot at this time, and the bullet directly pierced the outstretched palm.

Lance stood with a gun in his hand, his expression was calm, without any disturbance.

He has been paying attention to the battle, so how could he not have noticed this woman.

It is to deliberately let women go, and give those soldiers who are not clear-headed a little bit of trouble.

Or beauty, or pity... Just because a woman forgets his previous warnings and orders.

Those who are easily shaken can only be used as ordinary soldiers even if they are cured. They are not qualified to join Lance's core army.

However, he found a good seed with a firm will. Lance would not let him have an accident, so he immediately raised his finger and called out.

"Prosperous fortune!"

"Ow~"

With a howl of a wolf, Wangcai was finally released, turning into an afterimage and rushing into those people, showing pure wildness.

A swoop threw the man down, followed by the bite without a moment's pause, bit the neck with a sideways bite, shook his head vigorously and tore the throat out, the wolf's mouth was covered with blood and hadn't dripped yet fall.

He didn't stop after a successful blow, but rushed again, tearing flesh with one claw, and breaking the leg bone with one bite, showing an extraordinary attack!

"Withdraw them and rearrange the line of defense." Of course, Leonard also noticed the situation here, and immediately began to fill in the front line, and at the same time let the soldiers who were in panic withdraw.

Leonard raised his sword and went up. It was not a problem to have more than one enemy. All that was left was corpses all over the ground.

The accident was subsided in an instant, and the front line was re-stabilized.

"Surrender, don't kill! Those who resist will be killed!"

Lance needed to leave a batch for research, so he immediately stopped the soldiers from killing, and at the same time issued an order, "Go forward! Narrow the encirclement."

The soldiers started to move, and the encirclement that was originally about [-] meters outside the camp began to shrink further, while Lance had already begun to clean the battlefield, tying up those who were not dead, and directly offering sacrifices if they were dead.

The situation has stabilized. For these trash fish, after losing their backbone, there is only one way to surrender. As for those who want to resist, Lance will send them to see the ancestor...

"Report! Mission completed, no sacrifices, 12 people were injured, 49 cult members were captured, among them..."

Lance listened to Leonard's report. It was a mental calculation without intention, and while the equipment was well equipped, only a few had weapons. If all of them were dead, Lance would not be confused.

Not even injured, because those soldiers need medical treatment and vacation, which makes the already small manpower shrink.

Fortunately, he had seen the injuries of the soldiers, most of them were minor injuries, and they would recover soon.

Lance would not use [Flesh Reconstruction] to treat them, because that would make them dependent, and at most would give them better medical conditions.

Of course, the more direct reason is that he does not have so much spirituality and his conditions are limited.

"Continue to clear the camp, be careful of hidden enemies and traps."

"Yes!" Leonard led the order and arranged for the manpower.

If it was Lance alone, or a small team, it would be very difficult to completely clean up the camp, but after the army was transferred, the situation was quickly resolved. This is the strength of the collective.

That's why Lance insisted on developing a wave, instead of crossing over and knowing the general situation, relying on a few elites to fight recklessly with the ancestors.

that would fall into a

If he succeeds like that, he might become a hero, but the fault tolerance rate is too low for him to afford to lose.

Of course, the power of the collective is strong, but the existence of individual power cannot be denied.

"You guys have done a great job! I will hold a formal award when I go back, and you will all be rewarded for your bravery."

Lance looked at the soldiers in front of him. They all showed extraordinary performances in battle. They were worthy of being trained with resources, and they could further encourage other soldiers.

"Soldier, what's your name?"

"Roz!"

"How did you resist the sorcery of the cult priest just now?"

"I had a headache at the time, and I seemed to see a lot of painful memories in a trance, but I remembered what the adults said, they must not be allowed to escape from here, otherwise Hamlet will be hurt.

When I strengthened my will and planned to try my best to stop them, I got rid of the influence of the sorcery, and instead a force surged in my heart. "

"You've done a good job. As long as your will is firm, there will be no sorcery that can shake you." Lance encouraged him, and the burst of strength was of course the [blessing] he gave.

"Yes!" The gunman also straightened his body and made a loud voice.

These words made many soldiers realize and strengthened their will.

As long as you have firm beliefs, no enemy can interfere with you.

loyalty!

But not everyone can be rewarded and encouraged by the lord.

"Before I act, I warned you repeatedly that those people are all cultists and are very dangerous. Have you taken my words into consideration?

It's just a woman who asks you to put down your arms. If I'm not here, do you still want to hug her and surrender?Have you put the lives of your comrades in arms in your eyes?

You have experienced the cruelest battlefield, and your will is so weak. Hamlet has you soldiers who have completely embarrassed the face of my lord! "

Lance looked at the soldiers who were defeated by the magic, his expression was serious, and his tone of reprimand became more and more severe.

Blind care will make soldiers feel less majestic, and only strict foil can make his love appear important.

These words made those outstanding soldiers unconsciously puff up their chests. They did not disappoint the trust of the lord, and their loyalty did not waver.

There is even a hint of ridicule and discrimination in the eyes of those guys, which is self-evident.

These guys' wills are shaken by women, and they are not loyal...

For these few soldiers, he could only hold back, because he did something wrong and almost destroyed the lord's arrangement.

Just like what that person said, once these people are allowed to escape, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"If you disobey the military order, you will be expelled from the army according to the military regulations."

After these words were spoken, the brains of those people who had been tortured by magic began to churn again.

Annoyance...remorse...pain...fear, if you let your family or the people in the town know that you were expelled from the army because of this incident, that kind of scene is almost worse than killing them.

With all kinds of emotions intertwined, they knew without thinking that the pressure in their hearts must be rising crazily.

"But I would like to give you one more chance."

This sentence was like catching a rope when they fell into the despair of the abyss, and the whole person suddenly trembled.

"Now take up arms and stand up and prove that you are still capable of fighting."

Although Lance doesn't like it, he still doesn't want to waste every manpower when the manpower is tight, especially with so much investment in the early stage.
