Soul Echo

"Don't mess around! Don't run around everyone, we'll protect you!"

Lillian stands on top of a carriage, holding a light Crossbows, trying to maintain order in the streets.

The sudden change has thrown the whole Paris into chaos. Whether it is the upper city or the lower city, there are people who have smoked hallucinogens everywhere. They seem to be 'false god' Adrian. Influenced, they became a group of cultists who believed in the Lord of Joy.

Because she had played against the cultists, Lillian recognized them.

They aren't really 'devils' or 'aberrations', just an intermediate state between the two - without self-awareness and sanity, and without great abilities, just a bunch of Poor worm.

But no matter how 'poor' they are, they are also believers of the Abyss, and their souls have been bound to the Evil God.

Their existence itself is a disaster for life. They appear in this world in order to create disasters for other life. As long as they are still alive, they will definitely lead to the death or pollution of other people.

Players and clerics are fighting those cultists, and while the purpose is different, the number of cultists is really decreasing.

But for some reason, as the number of cultists decreases, their individual battle strength also increases.

In the beginning, Lillian could kill a few cultists alone, but now she has to rely on means other than the sword technique to defeat a cultist—not necessarily kill it.

Fortunately, this block of cultists has been cleared, and she does not need to deal with other enemies.

The city has been divided into several areas by the cultists, which made her feel as if she had returned to Milan...

But compared to Milan, Things are much better in this city.

Only people who have used hallucinogens will become cultists, and cultists will not always arise, and it will not happen that an enemy suddenly appears in the crowd.

But the power of the cultists is also growing, and in order to protect the inhabitants, they must be gathered first.

Otherwise, once the strength of the cultists exceeds a certain limit, people can kill each other just by breathing. At that time, if people are still scattered all over the city without any protection, They will die.

When a large number of deaths occur, the demons or high-level cultists hiding in the city can use these deaths to summon the demons and even open the gates of the abyss.

Therefore, we must protect the people!

Glancing over the heads of the crowd, Lillian looked out of the block worriedly.

The commotion of the battle is coming from there, and it seems to be approaching.

It is because of this that the crowd panics.

The streets were crowded and crowded with people constantly being pushed and shoved into the carriage, shaking the carriages.

Fortunately, the horse that pulled the cart was taken away by the owner of the carriage long ago. Otherwise, once the horse was frightened, it would drag the carriage and run on the street, causing many casualties.

In addition to Lillian, some clerics are also trying to maintain order in the crowd. They walk among the crowds, calling out, and at the same time arresting those who disrupt the order.

But what they can do now is to catch those who disrupt the order, let them calm down, and can't do more.

Even if someone hears their call, they will be surrounded by other people and crowded, making it difficult to take effective action.

Something wasn't right, but Lillian couldn't feel what was wrong.

She looked at the surging crowd with a numb scalp. People were pushing each other, hitting the carriage more and more times, and the carriage under her feet shook more and more.

The mood and atmosphere have become more violent, and the root of all this is the closed door.

"Open the door! Let's go in!"

"Didn't you say Uptown would accept us? Why haven't they opened until now?"

"Are you trying to kill us?"

The crowd was surging, but they couldn't make an inch.

The waves slapped on the city gate, which divided the upper and lower towns, and the clergy who led them there were sweating and flustered—they didn't know why the city gate was still closed.

Although there are cultists in Shangcheng, they can be informed that it is the church behind them who brought civilians to take refuge in Shangcheng. Will the church still deceive them?

"Stop!"

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded from the top of the city.

He seemed to use some spell to let his voice overwhelm everyone's noise and noise.

After he made his voice, the chaos of the crowd suddenly dropped to a level, and they all looked up at the city head.

They saw a middle-aged man in military uniform standing on the city wall, looking down at them blankly.

Then the crowd was restless again.

"Sir, please let us in!"

"Please, please..."

"Sir! Please call as soon as possible. open the city gates, this is not a planned refuge, if there are cultists attacking, we will be hard to stop!"

middle-aged man's eyes swept over the crowd below the city wall, lightly snorted: "We You can open the city gates, but you must line up, keep good order, not crowd, and don't ram our soldiers."

The people gathered outside the city gate were overjoyed, and they agreed again and again. The clergy who were trying to maintain order were relaxed.

It didn't take long before the city gate opened.

Two helmeted soldiers pulled the heavy city gate to the sides. People gathered in front of the slowly opening city gate, but did not dare to step.

The people who were still scolding the clergy just watched the street behind the city gate, and the people behind them were not crowded and pushed.

After the city gate was fully opened, people walked in cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

Looking at the direction of the city gate, Lilian brows tightly knit.

The bullying of those people made her feel very disgusted and disgusting.

But for some reason, she still felt something was wrong.

If the church has already contacted the soldiers guarding the city gate, why hasn't the city gates been opened before?

normally the city gates in the upper and lower urban areas will only be closed at night. Today is the day when the 'grand competition martial arts' officially begins. Even the soldiers guarding the city gate will not stop the residents of the lower city. Enter Uptown.

The Imperial Family arena is in the upper city. She ran out of the upper city just now, but when she returned here, she found that the city gate had been closed.

Who closed it? Why is it closed?

Although the thoughts in her mind were still vague, Lilian already felt that she had caught something.

However, Lilian did not speak.

She has no evidence to convince people to stop. Reckless actions will only overdraw credit. Sometimes she can gamble, but now she has all loose cards in her hand, and she can't hope that the opponent's hand will compare favorably. She is still young.

People kept quiet out of fear from a dozen soldiers standing on both sides of the street, their clothes were stained with blood, and walked by, each step as slowly as possible.

There is no doubt that a battle has just been experienced here, the blood on the ground and walls has not dried up, and the helmets on the heads of the soldiers are still dented.

Feeling the strong aura emanating from the soldiers, people couldn't help swallowing and bowing their heads.

"Will you use the dive technique to identify whether a person is a cult?" Lilian, who was standing on the roof of the carriage, also crouched down and asked a cleric next to her in a low voice.

The clergy looked towards Lillian in confusion, then looked in the direction of her finger and saw the middle-aged man at the head of the city.

"Don't you think he's suspicious?" Lillian pointed to the man, and then to the soldiers standing on both sides of the street, "And those soldiers, they use muskets, and they have not only It's stained with blood, and the helmet is dented..."

hearing this, the clergyman also frowned.

It's really suspicious...

After thinking for a moment, the clergy followed the flow and walked towards the city gate.

When he was about to reach the city gate, he suddenly cast a dive technique on the soldiers standing behind the city gate-high-level cultists or demons have the ability to hide their identities, so they should detect Test their men!

Under the reflection of the dive technique, a vortex-like distorted scene appeared on the soldiers.

"It's the abyss!"

The clergy shouted out loudly, and the other clergy who stood outside the city gate and guided the crowd into the upper city immediately turned their heads.

next moment, both sides drew their weapons and the battle broke out at the city gate!
