Our family is in decline

The arrival of the blood moon immediately plunged the entire Hamlet into a scene that was even more terrifying than the extreme darkness.

Under the shining blood-colored moonlight, almost everyone was attracted the moment they looked up and froze in place.

And the corruption followed, and the degree of influence was even more exaggerated than before.

All those who were attracted seemed to hear something echoing in their minds. As long as they accepted that power, they could...

The figure of the man appeared in their consciousness and quickly broke free from the temptation of corruption.

Many people even became angry and wanted to shoot down the huge blood moon. No one could humiliate their loyalty!

Why did Lance not rest and enjoy before the decisive battle, but instead made so many inexplicable and seemingly meaningless preparations.

Attending the Heroes' Tomb Circle event to appease the army and police and adjust defense; summoning extraordinary people like Bigby and Sarmienti to appease them was normal.

But running to schools, sanatoriums, workshops... almost all of the city was turned around, not for official business or anything, but to chat with those people casually.

Then he went to farms, development zones and other villages and towns to eat and chat with ordinary people.

Finally, he even talked about the time when he was wearing armor and holding a sword, killing those bandits in despair, and expelling the cult, such as the outpost defending, the No. 3 stronghold fighting, and the cavalry breaking into the siege to help...

In those words, Lance had left them with the power to fight corruption. When the blood moon came, most people triggered the will instilled by [Charming Voice].

Compared with those ordinary people, Hamlet's soldiers, students and police almost instantly broke free from the influence of the blood moon.

Their organizational ability is stronger. After noticing the influence of the blood moon, they immediately gave up all production activities as planned and chose to take over the city under martial law.

The fully armed army stationed in key locations in the city, such as docks, sanatoriums, workshops, and research institutes.

The police held torches and began to arrange the ordinary people in their districts to go home in an orderly manner and comfort them.

Lance originally defined the functions of the police and separated them according to their jurisdictions. They were all familiar neighbors and there would be no trouble.

There were also people who had received militia training and volunteered to help, but it was better for them to go home and take care of their families.

The security of the city was also ensured by armed police patrolling, responsible for some bloody incidents that might occur.

There were still many adventurers who had returned from the front line of the ruins in the city, as well as some other outsiders who stayed here for various reasons.

These people were not close to Lance, nor did they trust Lance. Last time, these guys were corrupted, causing so many troubles.

Now that a more powerful blood moon was coming, many of those people were immediately affected and immersed in the power of the blood moon.

However, at this moment, a burst of urgent piano sound came from nowhere, which woke them up directly.

I saw a frivolous clown on the street holding a lute. The sound of the piano was not obvious but continuous, and it seemed to be directly poured into their minds, awakening them from that weird state.

Sarmienti remembered what Lance said after he finished playing in the cemetery.

"Their husbands and sons died here, and my people also died here. I don't want to see so many people crying anymore, so are you willing to help me play another song for the people?"

There are not so many reasons for him to appear here, it's just that the lord can understand his music.

One person's strength is a little weak compared to the whole city. In fact, even if Sarmienti didn't take action, Hamlet City would not be in chaos.

Heroes like Boudica, Amanda, Glyndell, William, Sarmienti, and even Baldwin are wearing armor and holding swords ready to take action at any time, plus those prepared troops and armed police.

Those out-of-control lunatics will be eliminated immediately once they are discovered. Can you cut Baldwin, the legendary swordsman in his prime? Or can you escape the strangulation of thousands of vines and roots?

Not only is there no chaos in the city, but in the farms outside the city or the villages and towns in the development zone, the farmers have begun to spontaneously settle their families according to the militia training and begin to gather together.

Although they only had some flails, pitchforks, spears and hatchets in their hands, they were determined to defend their homes. The lord's repeated teachings finally made them know how to protect themselves.

In fact, there were troops stationed in these places, and they were the real main force.

Although the entire Hamlet was now in a state of stagnation, such proper handling quickly suppressed the negative effects of the blood moon. It seems that Lance's arrangements before leaving were bound to be effective.

But these are areas where Lance has strong control, and there is a very special place among them - the new town on the front line of the ruins.

Although some adventurers left here because of the arrival of the extreme darkness, there are still more than 10,000 people left.

And those who dare to stay now are naturally not good, on the contrary, they are either confident in their strength or greedy and cruel.

Not to mention that because Lance deliberately let go, anyone who is curious about Hamlet will be arranged to come in, and it is not surprising that there are cultists mixed in among the mixed fish and dragons.

Sure enough, when the blood moon came, it was still difficult for people to resist the desire for that power. They accepted the [Great Blessing] of a certain existence, and immediately fell rapidly in those people.

While others were still in a daze, the desire for flesh and blood made the corrupted people bite the people around them without hesitation, like a mad dog.

"Ah!"

"What are you doing!"

"Get out of here!"

The blood moon was in the sky, and you didn't need a torch to see the hideous faces of those people. They bit and chewed flesh like crazy, and their eyes didn't know whether it was the moonlight or the real blood red.

Such a violent riot awakened the adventurers who were immersed in the blood moon. After seeing that scene, they couldn't help but yell and curse.

"Damn it! What is this?"

"They are eating people, those cultists!"

"Crazy, all crazy!"

Because Lance didn't hide the consciousness of the Ascension Sect, but needed them to take the blame, so many people knew that the lord was leading people to eliminate those cultists, and they also knew a little from the people.

Those adventurers were also accustomed to life and death, not to mention that weapons were not banned, so everyone carried weapons, and at worst they had a hammer. When encountering such a thing, someone would naturally fight back.

They drew out their swords and chopped, and swung their hammers to smash the heads of those mad dogs.

Unfortunately, they had no experience in dealing with cultists. They were only injured but difficult to kill. Instead, the corrupted devoured the flesh and blood and became more twisted. They watched helplessly as they devoured people alive.

More importantly, there were not just one or two, but many crazy corrupted.

"Run!"

Most people were only concerned with escaping. Fortunately, those corrupted were busy devouring the corpses and did not chase.

But if they continued to grow, it might cause greater chaos.

"Get out of the way!"

However, at this moment, a roar came, and a huge figure in heavy armor rushed out upstream with a big axe.

The tank-like figure rushed over and directly knocked a corrupted person out with one shoulder. The exaggerated muffled sound showed the great force, making the whole building seem to tremble.

When it hit the wall, it was clear that the human body was directly stuck to the wall, and the body that was hit head-on was directly bloody and the bones were crushed.

These are the flesh and blood corruptors. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be smashed into pieces. It's so terrifying!

And Balin's figure stopped from charging, and his shoulder blades were covered with flesh and blood.

The other corruptors seemed to feel the threat, and they actually abandoned the corpses they were eating and attacked Balin, three or five of them rushed forward.

Balin was naturally not weak, and he didn't mean to retreat at all. He swung the axe with one hand and easily split one in half.

The other hand stretched out directly, grabbed the head of the monster rushing in front of him like catching a chicken, and swung it up, hitting another one and throwing it away.

"Fighting, cool!"

Balin held an axe in one hand and a man in the other, and he wielded his brute force at will, and easily suppressed several corruptors that appeared on the street.

Usually, the champion power around Lance is not obvious, it depends on who he is compared with. Although Balin himself has a strong talent, his current posture is enough to prove the strong strength of the champion.

But the situation is far from being resolved. These are just the corruption of ordinary people. They can only be regarded as appetizers. The main course has not yet been served.

Balin threw away the corpse with a crushed head in his hand and cast his eyes to the side of the street. He could see that the guy had devoured a lot of corpses, even his own kind, because of the slight delay just now...

The twisted flesh and blood, disorderly growing tissues and facial features, and the iconic black eyeballs.

Many adventurers are powerful. Although they are not masters or champions, their elite foundation and long-term fighting instincts are also very impressive.

But it is a pity that these guys have completely degenerated into flesh and blood corruptors in a short period of time. What is more terrifying and troublesome is that these guys will not lose their fighting instincts after corruption, but will be magnified by the instantly improved physical fitness after corruption.

The two sides looked at each other, and the next second the monster moved first, but Balin did not move with it. Instead, he stood there like an iron tower, and the left hand that crushed the head just now was still dripping with blood.

Until the moment the monster approached, an arrow shot directly into the monster's eyes from nowhere, causing the monster to pause. This shot was like a signal, and the silent Balin swung the axe and chopped it over.

This move was powerful and heavy, and if it were an ordinary enemy, it would probably be cut in half like just now.

However, this monster was still wearing the armor of its previous body, and the collision with the axe blade only made a loud noise, and the next second it was knocked away by the exaggerated force.

Only when it stopped could you see that the armor was split by the axe, tearing half of the body from the waist and abdomen, and all kinds of messy things were like a dumped garbage can, and all kinds of soup and water leaked out in an instant.

Just now, the axe almost completely cut it open, but this monster was blessed by the blood moon, and its exaggerated recovery ability was displayed. It didn't even need to put things back into its body, but grew wantonly, dragging its intestines to pounce on the blood and flesh that fell to the side, regardless of whether it was the remains of the corpse that had just been eaten or the Corruptor that was blown up.

Balin saw this and found something. The axe blade was originally covered with corpse spores, but it might have become ineffective after being chopped off a few times, otherwise the flesh and blood would not have had time to heal.

At this time, an archer came out and fired three arrows in a row. The arrows stained with corpse spores pierced the monster's head.

Balin was not surprised at all and continued to rush forward with the axe, cutting it off with one axe and smashing the head.

The two of them took out the corpse spores to remove the corpse, and then they had time to continue applying medicine to the axe.

Just listening to the continuous gunshots in the town, they knew that the matter was far from over. It was the snipers who occupied the high ground of the town who were shooting. They could see the riots in the town, and they were both sniping and guiding.

The guards who disappeared in the dungeon appeared here, and it was obvious that the lord had been prepared.

These Hamlet champions and heroes formed a team of three or two, entered and began to hunt those corrupted.

The army was still stationed outside the town, while the police or other defense forces guarded the lord's assets and the government building, and anyone who approached was rewarded with peanuts.

"Let's go, next one."

Ballin called his teammates to go to the nearest riot, but found that the battle here was not solved by other guards, but by the two people from the church.

Aren't those guys gathered around Brother Martin just craving for shelter? But it seems that there are only a few devout believers, most of them have dispersed, and the remaining ones are naturally corrupted guys.

Looking at the number, it is even more than the previous ones. As the lord said, religion is unreliable, and believing in those gods is more likely to be bewitched.

The beggar monk held a staff, and the lightning-like light beams kept shooting into the corrupted people, and the powerful force directly burned them into mummies.

The legend is still a legend. He just showed his weakness in front of Lance. In other situations, he is very powerful.

The guards knew that the real main force that enabled everyone to evacuate the ruins at that time was the monks.

The candle priest held a shield and swung a hammer to block all the corrupted people who tried to attack the monks. One hammer, but the efficiency was not high.

Fortunately, Balin and others joined the battle to help them share some of the pressure, and people came from other places and quickly suppressed the chaos.

But Brother Martin did not show any gratitude, instead questioned the visitor.

"What on earth is your lord doing! Are you going to turn Hamlet into hell again?"

The blood moon was in the sky, and even the beggars dared not say anything more. He had felt more and more that something was wrong. The whole Hamlet was in the lord's calculation.

"We are the lord's personal guards. We are here. The lord will only fight in more dangerous places. You don't understand the lord at all, nor do you understand Hamlet. We will not give up on anyone."

Such a sentence made Martin pause for a moment. If someone else told him this, he would have scolded him back, but he really saw those people desperately saving each other, leading the way in desperate situations, and it was difficult to speak for a while.

In the end, he could only sigh.

"Can I trust you?"

"For humanity."
