Chapter 542: Corrosion The port town, a town that did not have any marks on the map of the Longmian Continent, disappeared from this world silently, except for some rumors circulated privately by the townspeople of the neighboring towns, both the lord and the demon army remained eerily silent as if they had never done anything before.
In the years that followed, the fire-shattered ruins were forgotten, and even the townsfolk from the port town seemed to have forgotten about it when the summer grass grew wildly to cover the ruins.
But is that really the case?
Some of the townsfolk who were slaughtered for their belief in the dark gods survived the death of their loved ones, but they had to remain silent about the tragedy caused by the lord and the demon army in order not to harm themselves.
These civilians themselves could not do anything for their loved ones, and all their resistance in the face of the powerful lords and demon crusaders was nothing more than an egg hitting a stone to kill themselves.
But just because they can't do anything doesn't mean that some people can't, and in the darkness, those Avengers have begun to decay the foundations of light in preparation for revenge one day.
Although the Star of Light knew that the Demon God would start a war against them, it was that the Star of Light did not know the specific plan of action of the Demon Gods, in fact, if Zhao Yannian really told the Star of Light something, then the Star of Light would not have made such a rash decision on this tragedy that only took up less than a minute from beginning to end.
It is not clear that Zhao Yannian has limited the means of attack of the demon god, and has always thought that the demon god will lead a million army to directly attack the kingdom of light, so they have been actively hoarding strength to meet the large-scale invasion of the demon god, although they don't know where the demon god comes from, but they are very wary of those enemies who have almost killed them.
It is precisely because of this psychology that even Neham, who is the most intelligent and analytical of the Bright Star, has not been wary of the few black ships that appeared in the port town in the open, in fact, due to the demonstrative effect of the Blood Clan's dissemination of the Luna Doctrine, there have been many cults that claim to have come here from the heavenly realm, hell, other continents and other places to rescue ordinary people over the years.
Most of these cults are just trying to defraud ordinary people of their money, but for professionals, the claims of these liars are completely meaningless, and for this kind of fraud that will not shake the foundation of humanity, Neam can only send an emissary to urge the lords to deal with it as soon as possible.
So when he first received the report from the lords, Neham made a wrong judgment about this matter according to the previous management.
At the beginning, the lords only heard some rumors when they reported it, and they didn't investigate in detail and picked out a few rumors they heard and wrote them on the report, so the report sent by the lords seemed to be just another scam used to fool ordinary people, and because of this, Neam only sent a lightbringer to supervise and deal with it.
And out of trust in these jealous and hateful messengers of light, he handed over the whole matter to the middle-aged messenger according to the custom, and the cause of all these tragedies was precisely because of this custom that had never been wrong before.
The laws in the kingdom of light are extremely chaotic, and in the case that the lords of all places have the power to make laws, most of the actions of the lightbringers rely on their subjective judgment, and in everyone's hearts, the standards of justice are different, and the punishment that should be imposed on the unrighteous is naturally several.
Coincidentally, the Lightbringer sent by Neuham this time was a poor man whose family had all died at the hands of demons, and this Lightbringer had an unusual hatred and paranoia for a creature like demons.
When Vincent Sr. tried to intimidate the Lightbringer with his own demons, the fate of the port town was already sealed, and the angry Lightbringer could not compromise when he saw humans and demons in company.
Later, the Lightbringer used his position to mobilize the Demon Seekers, and although he lied to the Demon Seekers in this matter, the lies seemed to him to be nothing more than a necessary means to uphold justice.
Even if he was burdened with blood debts and sins, he still wanted to put these evil people in his eyes to death, and what led him to do all this was not only hatred, but also his attachment to the righteousness in his heart.
Eventually, the Lightbringer achieved his goal, and the town where the wicked people gathered was burned down, and the lords remained silent after that, and the Lightbringer returned to Neam by describing the townspeople of the town as a group of evil thugs who did not deserve sympathy.
In this regard, Neam did not have doubts, first, that this Lightbringer was very old, and his jealous and hateful character was impeccable, and second, this happened often in the entire Dragon Sleeping Continent.
In this way, the Lightbringer easily covered up the past, and just when the Lightbringer felt that the matter was perfectly done, he did not know that he had written a bad prologue to the war between Light and Darkness.
On the surface, the calm Longmian Continent has actually been slowly invaded by darkness, and the dark believers, led by the survivors of the port town tragedy, are gradually silently but rapidly corroding the power of light.
Those who learned of the tragedy in the port town were indeed terrified of the brutal disposition of the Star of Light, but when the forces of darkness were in front of them, not all of them could resist the temptation.
Compared to the strict precepts of the Temple of Light, the dark faith with almost no precepts has a strong advantage, coupled with the almost unrequited kindness and temptation of the demon god in the early days, the dark believers have increased at a terrifying rate in the past year, and these dark believers are now scattered in every corner of the territory near the port town, and they are waiting in the dark for the day to come.
On the first anniversary of the Harbor Town Massacre in April of the 14th year of the Imperial Calendar, the leaders of the Demon Raiders and the Lightbringers who participated in the incident died tragically at home at the same time, their limbs were neatly cut off, and their bodies were nailed to the wall, their blood was written into a vicious curse, and their families did not escape the doom, all of them were dug out of their hearts and died tragically at home.
The fact that two families were slaughtered in the same way at the same time and posed in some kind of memorial form immediately caught the attention of the Bright Star.
As the savior of mankind, although the Demon Seeker Army is not loved by everyone, there has never been such a bad incident, and this incident has shocked and angered almost all the high-level leaders of the Demon Seeking Army.
The Star of Light quickly dispatched a large number of investigators, and then, the Light Messenger in charge of the investigation turned over the port town incident, and after the re-investigation, the two brutal murders were determined to be the revenge of the remnants of the port town, and then the entire demon army acted quickly, for this blatant challenge to justice, the officers of the demon army swore that they would not only catch these villains, but also give them the most brutal death.
As the most powerful force in the Bright Country, the energy he exerts when he is angry is extremely huge, and soon some clues about the tragedy were dug up, and the traces of those survivors were soon discovered by the Demon Seeking Army.
Subsequently, what the Demon Seeker Army had to do was naturally to arrest the suspect and interrogate him, but what no one expected was that when a squad of Demon Seeker soldiers went to arrest a suspect who was supposed to be an ordinary person, this suspect actually summoned a powerful demon.
It was a real high-level demon, as a melee type demon, his body was no longer afraid of ordinary bullets and swords, and only three of the entire squad of demon seeker soldiers survived in the end, and the suspect disappeared with the help of the demon.
After learning about this, the local demon army was completely shocked, and the humans and demons joined forces to slaughter the demon army, which can already be said to be a naked provocation of the demon army's rational bottom line.
Enraged, the Demon Seeker immediately launched a hunt for the suspect, and the residences of the other people involved in the Port Town tragedy were also surrounded by a large number of Demon Seeker soldiers.
The shocking thing is behind, many ordinary people related to the tragedy in the port town are trying to resist when they are captured, although not everyone can summon high-level demons, but they are not ordinary people without any power.
All kinds of strange abilities caused the soldiers of the Demon Raiders who were in charge of the capture to suffer heavy casualties overnight, and what this event meant had made the Light Messengers who were in charge of investigating the tragedy of the death of the day break down in a cold sweat.
When the details of this night's time were reported to the Star of Light, the Star of Light had no time to deal with these small matters, because there were announcements from more than a dozen lords in front of them, and the content of these announcements made the Star of Light understand that they had lost the first round in the war with the Demon God.
In the entire southern Berakou region, at least half of the Demon Raider camps suddenly lost contact, and later, the lords of those regions officially issued a statement saying that they would leave the Land of Light and join the camp of darkness.
Subsequently, eyewitness reports were sent from the camp of the Demon Seekers in the neighboring area that their former colleagues had changed their army emblems, with black crosses replacing white ones, and that demons appeared in their camp.
