Chapter 17: The Anxiety of the Demigod

They couldn't help but be afraid.

After all, the prophecy they came up with was "He is back", which clearly stated that the other party was already in the imperial capital.

But the latest information now is that the ultimate goal of the cultists is the city of Suras, and the terrible demon has not yet been summoned.

What happened between the two of them was, to put it mildly, just a misjudgment of intelligence, but to put it more seriously, it was a mistake that harmed the country and the people.

The former means writing a few reports and sitting on the bench for a while, while the latter may easily lead to the loss of your head!
After taking a look at the two sweaty people, the Vice Speaker took the initiative to say:
“Your Majesty, prophecies are inherently elusive revelations, not to mention that he is only a Sequence 5. Even if he has made many preparations, there will naturally be many problems in predicting a high-level demon.”

"Your Majesty, he challenged an extremely high-ranking evil being as a mortal for the sake of peace in the entire imperial capital."

"Nelson's golden eagle was just following established procedures."

"I personally think that we should not be too harsh on them."

This made the two people feel relieved instantly.

Fortunately, the Deputy Speaker is really kind-hearted and is willing to help them at this time.

Their mistakes were now simply because they were two mortals.

It is extremely normal for mortals to make mistakes when facing higher-level beings!
"I don't mean to blame them, I just want to ask what you think about this matter."

The Queen's voice had been emotionless for twenty years, and the people below could not use it to guess what the Queen was thinking.

This is a good thing for the Queen's authority, although fundamentally the Queen is now just mechanically maintaining the only gift left to her by her teacher.

This country was won by her teacher at the cost of everything.

She must protect this gift.

Because this is the only thing her teacher left her.

But other than that, the Queen didn't care about anything else.

"Your Majesty, the Surasi Institute has made some progress after a thorough investigation. We are sure that there is still plenty of time before the ceremony is ready."

"And two demigods have already been sent to Suras to take charge of everything."

"No matter how scary the demon is, as long as the ritual fails, the demon that cannot appear in the world is just a joke."

"Your Majesty, you should not worry too much."

"Moreover, as the ruler of the empire, unless the situation is truly irreversible, Your Majesty should always stay in the imperial capital to maintain the stability of the empire."

"As long as you are here, this country will not be in chaos."

The person who said this was Lieutenant General Horatio Nelson. As the talent that Moon left to the Queen, the Queen was generally willing to listen to him and the other two men.

This is also the voice of most of them.

As the gateway to the imperial capital, Suras itself has a demigod as its guardian.

Now two extra people have been dispatched to provide support.

In this situation, no matter how powerful the demons are, they pose no threat at all.

As for the words of that group of cultists, haha, there is nothing to be afraid of!

Therefore, as the only angel and the only Baratheon in this country, the Queen should naturally always stay in the imperial capital.

However, the Queen said after a moment of silence:
"It has been a long time since Baratheon has been so close to the pillars of the empire. I will hold a luncheon later and hope that you will be present."

This sentence made several of the Seven Dukes quite uneasy.

At the same time, some messages were immediately delivered to the people they should be delivered to.
-
At noon, the people of Suras were basically enjoying their lunch leisurely.

And in the sewers of Suras.

Numerous sound-hunting soldiers were methodically destroying one ritual site after another.

At this moment, among the three demigods of Suras, two have already led the team to the sewers.

When the cultists plotted loudly in front of Morn, their defeat was certain.

Suras is the home turf of the Overwatch Council no matter what, not to mention that this time a demigod has been seconded to take charge of the overall situation.

That is why their many strongholds in the Suras sewer system were almost effortlessly eliminated one by one.

Now, the sound-hunting soldiers who have circled the entire Suras sewer several times are besieging the enemy's last stronghold.

The high priest who personally conspired in front of Moon that day was also here.

He looked at the precious rituals beside him with a bit of despair. Although they were intact, they were actually useless. These rituals needed to be used in conjunction with each other.

When the strongholds in other areas were destroyed, the ones here became scrap metal.

Looking at the almost endless number of hunters in front.

He knew that he had completely failed.

But he still did not give up resistance.

He held a staff inlaid with a demon's head and shouted to his companions:

"It is time to die for the faith, my children, and kill these heretics!"

“Don’t be afraid of sacrifice, our faith will be waiting for us in the true heaven.”

"There are rivers flowing with honey and clouds floating with gold and jewels"

But before he could finish his words, he and at least forty or fifty cultists in the entire stronghold were all frozen in place.

As the elite of the Abyss Sect, all of them are extraordinary people.

Among them, there are as many as three people in Sequence Five, including the high priest.

Even the high priest carried a first-level sealed object in case of an emergency, which was the demon staff in his hand.

But at this moment, they all froze and didn't move.

Under the feet of the high priest, as the high priest's eyes kept moving.

A middle-aged man with a weathered face stood out from the shadow under him.

After spitting out the half-smoked low-quality cigarette, the middle-aged man with a haggard face raised his hand and took the devil's staff from the high priest.

"Sealed Artifact 1-771 Devil's Scream? Thanks. I'll put it in the treasury myself."

Demi god?

A demigod of the Shadow Path?
Not only did they discover our base, they also immediately dispatched demigods?
So this wasn't an accidental encounter, but everything had been discovered long ago?
But why?
The moment he saw the man, the high priest understood everything.

No wonder they lost so quickly. They lost all their strongholds before they could even send out the message.

But he didn't understand why.

Why was it discovered?

The demigod who arrived to put an end to everything had no intention of wasting time with them.

After confiscating the first-level seal from the high priest.

All the cultists were dragged into their shadows.

Their ultimate goal was loudly told to Moon early on.

The empire urgently sent two demigods to take charge.

Things have come to this, there is really no reason for this group of cultists to stir up trouble.

But before he was completely swallowed by the shadow, the high priest who had finally taken control of the shadow from the other party said to the other party with fanatic and sarcastic eyes:

"Our sacrifice will not be in vain!"

The wild words that should have been just the barking of a dog made the demigod feel a little uneasy.

They searched the entire Suras and found that there was absolutely no enemy deployment in the city of Suras.

In order to summon a demon, one must have a great deal of precious materials and a large amount of spiritual flesh and blood.

For the former, as long as they have sufficient financial resources, they can prepare one or even dozens of copies, which is amazing for them. But as for the latter, how can they do it without the city of Suras?

Why do I feel uneasy?

This Sequence 4 Shadow Assassin was unable to understand and was becoming increasingly uneasy.

What went wrong?
On a small hill outside the city of Suras.

An old man who looked like an ordinary farmer was looking at the beacons that were broken one after another in front of him with sorrow.

This meant that all his companions in the city had died.
