Chapter 887: Intermezzo (III)

The tide of the war has changed.

After there was no way to banish these monsters from this world, the believers had to choose to confront them head-on. But in doing so, they find themselves at a complete disadvantage.

At first, although these believers were surprised by the ugliness and horror of these monsters, their bug-like appearance still made the paladins and clerics slightly despise. After all, bugs like this are generally not very intelligent, although many of them have never really fought against the Zerg. But among the monsters in the lower realm, there is no shortage of similar existences, and generally speaking, as long as this kind of monster captures their "brain", then it can be completely destroyed.

But soon, these believers discover that they are dealing with a completely alien existence.

The furious sea of insects pushed forward, but they weren't mindless charges. The believers were amazed to find that these bugs, who seemed impossible to have any intelligence, were still making steady advances on the front line, and they did not rely on instinct to make decisions, but on the contrary, it all showed that these terrible monsters were now almost like battle-hardened warriors, they were very experienced and very good at dealing with wars - and they knew how to win them.

"Be careful, watch your step, don't panic!!"

Wielding the giant sword in his hand vigorously, the paladin did not forget to remind his comrades around him. But before his words fell, he saw a sharp thorn suddenly "whoosh" out of the ground that had been covered with flesh and blood, and stabbed at another paladin beside him. The paladin, on the other hand, was unable to dodge and was immediately stabbed in half. Seeing this scene, the paladin immediately let out a loud shout, brandishing his giant sword and slashing at the sharp thorn. But before the blade of his sword could cut off the sharp thorn in front of him, he saw that the sharp thorn "swished" back back. Then I saw something move away in rapid motion under the flesh-covered earth, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!"

Before the paladin could complain after missing the blow, a huge shadow enveloped him, and the thunder beast's giant claws fell from the sky, completely trampling the paladin under his feet, so that he didn't have time to let out a scream before he turned into a puddle of flesh.

Why is this happening?

Looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of her, Nadia clenched her sword and bit her lip. As a paladin with the True Eye, Nadia naturally accepted the inspiration of the gods to come here. As a god-favored knight, she also gained more power than the others. The light flowing on Nadia's longsword at this moment was so dazzling that it almost turned it into a lightsaber. But Nadia, who was holding the weapon tightly, hesitated a little in the face of the battlefield in front of her. She was a believer, but she was not a fanatical believer like the others. Since going through a lot of things, Nadia has begun to try to face things with her mind that she used to only face with her heart. She certainly does not deny the importance of this battle, but ......... Watching the surrounding believers die one after another, Nadia has a small question in her heart.

Is this war really for the world?

If it was before, Nadia would never have such an idea, but now, she has experienced many wars, resistance, invasion, counterattack, and there are many purposes of war, but there is only one result, that is, to defeat the enemy and achieve the goal. And what is the purpose?

The Free Salvation Army originally said that it was to protect the poor people who were oppressed by the aristocracy, but what they did was not much worse than what they resisted? Nadia didn't fail to see some of the Free Salvation Army generals eating and drinking in the tavern, wiping their mouths and leaving without paying. And those tavern owners also dare not speak out, do not dare to complain at all, is it because they love the Free Army of National Salvation? No, it's because the Free Salvation Army controls the city where they are located, and if they don't want their property to be confiscated by the Free Salvation Army, then they can only swallow their anger.

Is such a battle really meaningful?

And now, what are they sacrificing their lives for?

"Quack!!"

A flying insect fluttered its wings and swooped down from the sky, spitting out a dark green liquid at Nadia with its mouth wide open. Seeing the movement of the flying insect in front of her, Nadia also clenched the long sword, and with her movements, the light on the blade became more and more dazzling, and then she saw a ray of light passing through thin air, and the next moment the insect was split in two from the middle as if pierced by an invisible blade, and exploded. But that didn't help, perhaps sensing the death of his companion, several flying insects flapped their wings and flew quickly in the direction of Nadia.

And in the face of the flying insects in front of her, Nadia did not have the slightest fear, on the contrary, she flipped the long sword, and the whole person was in the air as if she was stepping on some transparent fulcrum, and jumped forward again, the long sword in her hand swung out, and a dazzling light appeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, the flying insects in front of her were devoured. It was only at this time that Nadia rolled over and landed on the ground, and then she retreated backwards without hesitation. Because Nadia knew very well that if she didn't retreat, it would only take a minute for these insects to surround herself, and at that time, she would have no power to return to heaven at all.

Where did these bugs come from?

Nadia shook her head and looked at the thunderbeasts wreaking havoc not far away, she had never seen a monster like this anywhere on the main plane, not even in the sacrifices of those evil gods. But these terrible bugs have a clear division of labor, and they come in all sorts of different species, and they almost look like a complete army of bugs. Why are they here, and are they also some of the devil's subordinates?

Nadia was full of doubts, and logically speaking, she only needed to fight. But now, the more she fights, the more strange Nadia feels inside. Originally, she expected to meet orcs, goblins, or devils, representatives of "evil" that she had heard of anyway. But right now, she was here fighting a group of monsters she had never seen since she was born, and had never even been recorded in any holy text, and the gods had not told them who she was fighting against. They just say "it's here to save the world".

But, in that case, shouldn't it be clearer? Or is there something unspeakable about this?

Or ......... Is there something the gods can't tell us?

Thinking of this, Nadia felt a little surprised, and she secretly told herself that she should not speculate about those gods with human thoughts, after all, what the gods were thinking was not at all something that humans could fathom. But......... Once this thought comes out of the depths of my heart, it lingers.

And at this time, suddenly, the situation changed. (To be continued.) )
