Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 768 Freedom
"I'm going to the town square. Here's the book for you. You stay here and don't go out. They don't know you're in town."

Paladin made one last entreaty, and left the house in a hurry. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said, "If I can't come back, this book should help you find the location of the Church of Tides... Also, remember Live the agreement between us."

The "Emperor" watched Paladin go away.

However, he didn't remember that he had made any agreement with the other party. If the other party meant using those empty boats to send people from the town outside, then the old man was probably doomed to be disappointed.

That mechanical army was not his companions, nor were they necessarily the saviors Palatine imagined.

But he couldn't ask for more from an old man who had lived on an isolated island all his life and never left.

"You said earlier that you were going to liberate the people in the town?"

he asked.

What happened on the island has become more and more out of his control. This is the first time that the "Emperor" has discovered that the power of the six-star rescuer is so small. In the struggle for the way, he can change only so little.

Diego nodded firmly.

This is not only the mission entrusted to him by God the Father in his understanding, but also the emotion in his heart.

He didn't think the people in the town should live like this.

"I'm afraid this matter is much more difficult than you imagined. I have seen similar things before."

It is also a backward and dilapidated small town located in the "outside". The survivors are lingering in the small town. A church that is as ridiculous as the Tidal Church controls the town. The "Emperor" guesses that these people like to pretend to be "God". I am afraid that they have discovered that this is more conducive to their brainwashing work.

The rule of power, as well as faith, can keep those ruled by them in their place.

Of course, there is no shortage of people with the spirit of resistance in this world. "I also met people like Paladin and you in that small town. They ran among the crowd and called on people to see the true face of the church."

However, the "Emperor" only learned about the deeds of the rebel.

"Did he succeed?"

"No."

"Emperor" said, "When I arrived in the town, there was a dead body on the execution platform in the square. Later I heard about that man's deeds from other people, and the residents took the initiative to tie him up and hand him over. Gave it to the local church, let the church execute him, and then they hung his head outside the town as a warning to everyone."

Having said that, he took the lead to walk out the door.

The Tide Cultists' work of counting the number of people is almost complete. Before dawn, they will tie the sacrifices to the fishing boat and send them to the sea.

Diego seemed to have anticipated what was about to happen, and took the initiative to follow.

"It happens every day in 'outside', so I've learned enough from it."

The "Emperor" faced the lights of the town square, "If you want to overthrow them, it's not enough to rely on conscious determination, that will only speed up your own demise."

His prosthetic eyes glowed red, and at this moment all the tide believers had been recognized by the prosthetic eyes, making them invisible even in the dark.

Soon, the people in the town and the Tidal Cultists discovered the existence of the two.

An exclamation broke out among the believers. Those who had seen the strength of the mechanical army instinctively wanted to escape here, but the leader of the believers stopped everyone. He stared at the "Emperor" and the people behind him. Diego.

He played with strange "spells" that the "Emperor" had never seen before.

This "spell" did play a certain role. Those obscure chants made dark clouds shroud their heads. Encountered a real battle.

Because on a real battlefield, this "casting time" is enough for the high priest to be killed countless times.

However, out of politeness and curiosity, he didn't interrupt the other party. When the high priest finally finished "casting the spell", a bolt of lightning finally descended from the tumbling dark clouds and landed on the "Emperor".

This vision of heaven and earth seemed to arouse the fear imprinted in the genes of the residents, and they crawled on the ground in fear.

The high priest looked at the smoke and dust rising due to the lightning with a sneer, no one could resist the master's anger.

He really enjoys the eyes of the residents, which always allows him to truly feel the majesty of the identity of "God's Messenger".

But soon, a sneer froze on his face.

The first thing that catches the eye is the pair of scarlet prosthetic eyes that are still shining deep in the smoke and dust, which is no different from the symbol of the devil in their eyes.

In fact, when dark clouds enveloped the town, the "Emperor" had already guessed the high priest's purpose, and the built-in operating system had calculated its power and possible damage even before the thunder fell.

"0%, this is the probability that you can hurt me."

The high priest wanted to say something, but suddenly found that his feet became extremely heavy, let alone speaking, even breathing became extremely difficult.

Although he tried his best to support his body, he still couldn't stop the process of his body being pushed down.

After about two or three seconds, his body finally knelt down on the ground unbearably, and those Tidal Cultists who were normally aloof at the moment also followed the footsteps of the high priest, and knelt down in front of the "Emperor" under the pressure of gravity. They looked different, or panic or disbelief.

As the messengers of God, they actually knelt before the enemy of their master.

The ever-increasing gravity did not seem to intend to let them go, and he could no longer look directly at the "Emperor", because their heads smashed hard to the ground, and they clearly saw that even the ground under their feet was also sunken. .

This smash was enough to make the high priest's face bloody.

The bridge of his nose was broken, and his mouth was filled with mud. He felt that his eyeballs might pop out of their sockets at any moment.

The shadow of death enveloped him.

"Don't, don't kill me!"

The envoy of God put in his last strength and shouted out.

This time, even the residents of the small town showed unbelievable expressions. He once suspected that he was hallucinating. How could the master's messenger beg for mercy from his enemy?
The high priest's begging for mercy did indeed have an effect, weakening their suppressing power a bit, and he finally took this opportunity to take a few violent breaths.

No, this is not begging for mercy.

It is a means to confuse the enemy, and he believes that the master will understand his plan.

As he expected, the enemy really fell for the trick, the iron lump thought he had won, and came to him and looked down at him with condescending eyes.

"Tell me all you know."

The "Emperor" ordered in an unquestionable tone.

He didn't expect the high priest to beg for mercy. He thought that the believers of the Lord of Tide had long been fanatical to the point of willingly giving up their lives for their master, but the person in front of him was obviously weak.

"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you all."

The high priest said again and again.

From his narration, the "Emperor" learned about the basic situation of the Tidal Church. The reason why the residents on the island could not find it was because it was located at the bottom of the central sea area of ​​the archipelago, which was also the site of the Sunken Kingdom. It has long surpassed the concept of the church, and is more like an independent country.

The high-level councilors who fled from the first district are there at this moment, and they are regarded as honored guests by the church.

However, only those who are protected by the Lord of the Tide can pass through the deep sea and reach the church, and anyone else who tries to break into the church will be crushed by the monsters living in the deep sea.

The high priest was so cooperative that he even explained the details that he didn't ask.

Is this out of a strong will to survive, or...

The commotion in the town interrupted the interrogation. Naturally, the high priest also heard the commotion, and suddenly changed his face, showing a sinister expression, "Idiot! An idiot like you will never reach the church. Because you are going to die here soon!"

In the depths of the mist, a huge monster loomed.

The frenzy finally returned to the high priest's eyes again, "The master's messenger is here! I almost forgot to tell you that the real purpose of those rituals just now is to summon the messenger here."

Unlike the High Priest and the Tide Cultists, those unknown creatures lurking in the depths of the ocean are the real messengers of the Tide Lord.

He trusts his creation more than man.

The size of the monster emerging from the depths of the mist has exceeded the size of the entire town. Its huge body jumped out of the sea, setting off a tsunami tens of meters high.

A strong stench swept through the town like a typhoon, and the sea monster opened its huge mouth, as if it wanted to swallow the whole town and the land under their feet.

"You are finished, you are completely finished!"

The high priest looked up at the figure covering the sky above his head, and his tone gradually became crazy.

The people in the town have long been insensitive. They heard the movement, and they came to the street and looked up like walking dead, quietly waiting for the moment when they were swallowed into their stomachs.

The "Emperor" looked at the giant shadow solemnly.

It is not difficult to escape from the sea monster's attack range, the difficulty is how to keep the residents of the town safe.

He saw Paladin coming to the street, shouting to warn people to leave the town quickly, but the people around him ignored his warning as if they had lost their souls.

The tsunami was the first to reach the town.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the ground beneath their feet was swallowed by the waves.

But the "Emperor" immediately noticed something unusual—they seemed to be submerged by the tsunami visually, but they were actually standing where they were, and their clothes weren't even wet.

He suddenly thought of something, and looked at Diego who was not far away.

The latter closed his eyes tightly and said nothing until the huge body of the sea monster smashed towards them.

But just like a tsunami, the falling sea monster pierced straight through their bodies.

The "Emperor" can clearly see every detail of the sea monster. They are close at hand, but they seem to be separated by a distance of time and space.

The wild laughter of the high priest was gradually replaced by doubts.

He clearly saw that the envoys of the master had swallowed the entire town, but why were they still standing here?Can you even clearly perceive everything around you?
"Father God said..."

Diego slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the high priest, "No matter what the despicable person does, he is doomed to fail."
