"Yes." The cat nodded, but offered no explanation.
Seeing that Night had no intention of hiding it, Phil Gray directly told his two companions his identity, and they gasped in surprise.
"My God, this is a god, the son of night, my God!" Patrick suddenly remembered that he had touched the cat during the family dinner that day, and suddenly took a few steps back, afraid that this god would bring up the past.
Eli withdrew his hand, which had been eyeing the cat for so long, and replaced it with a respectful gaze.
The darkness nodded in satisfaction: "You guys are quite sensible. You know that if you please the gods, you can have anything you want. If you satisfy me in the future, I can take you under my command."
“Really?” Patrick’s eyes lit up. “How could I possibly satisfy you?”
He was taken in as a subordinate by a god, even though it wasn't the main god he worshipped!
"That depends on how many dried fish there are. Oh, I don't eat ordinary fish. Fish like fireblood fish or rock crystal fish are barely palatable," Black Night said lazily.
"This isn't difficult!"
Patrick rubbed his hands together, looking as if he had found a new goal to strive for.
“How much do you know about the god of disease?” Phil Gray asked.
"Eni, short and malnourished, human-shaped but not quite human, covered in a mixture of diseases, looks disgusting. His brother Bita is more presentable, but he smells strange. No god likes them," Night complained.
"They are brothers? I've heard they were very at odds, and even fought over the position of God?"
"Yes, they are twin brothers, but who doesn't want to become a god? Even brothers have to fight for it. But it seems they reconciled later and asked the god of death to divide the godhood in two, so that each of them could hold a part of the power."
"What do you think is the purpose of them and the gods of disaster coming to earth?"
Hei Ye glanced at him and said, "How would I know? It's probably related to the gods of the Abyss. I doubt it can cause any big trouble, otherwise that old man would have come down long ago."
Phil Gray knew the old man it was talking about was the Prophet of the Day. Since these gods didn't care, why should he worry about it?
It's just that those three possessed little guys are pitiful.
Now, their only adversary is disease worship!
He'll make them pay!
...
Gaza City is located at the crossroads of the religions of fate and disease.
Although it is said to be the border, the two religions are actually separated by a vast wilderness, with no one in between, and they usually keep to themselves.
But who could have predicted that on a sunny afternoon, followers of the disease cult would suddenly pour into the city from outside and open the gates of Gaza in a matter of moments?
Then, colorful fog filled the air of Gaza City, and all the people on the streets began to cough violently.
They scattered and fled in panic.
The Knights of Destiny stationed in Gaza City immediately took action, but the approximately one hundred knights quickly fell ill and collapsed to the ground.
Although nearly half of the Knights are chosen by the gods, apart from the vice-commander, they are all only at the Listening and Blessing levels.
The reason there is no captain is that the captain was recently taken to North City for trial and sentenced to exile for long-term misappropriation of the knights' supplies, while the vice captain's promotion documents have not yet been issued.
However, those who attacked them were long-planned disease worshippers, whose ordinary mortal bodies were simply no match for the endless stream of acute infectious diseases they summoned.
The disease cult has no knightly order, only a group of wizards wearing red cloaks and carrying various concocted bottles and jars.
They call themselves "the teachers of calamities".
The wailing and the cawing of countless crows instantly transformed the city into a living hell.
The Knights of Gaza were taken prisoner, but the deputy commander took the opportunity to pass the message to the Holy See of Destiny.
The deafening alarms blared throughout Gaza City. The sound transmission stones attached to various buildings hadn't been used for a very long time, but this incident proved that regular maintenance might indeed be necessary.
The people stayed in their homes, praying for the protection of the god of fate.
Meanwhile, the followers of disease worship swaggered down the street, even though they all looked like they were on drugs and could trip and fall on flat ground.
Leading the "Army of Diseases" was a gaunt old man, his face covered with wrinkles and disgusting tumors, but his eyes gleamed with fanaticism.
This old man was the Archbishop of the Disease Worship, named Egnus.
He held a black staff, shrouded in a sickly green mist, as if he were the embodiment of Enni, the god of disease.
With each step he took, he would spit out a thick phlegm that would stick to a building in Gaza City, continuously emitting the virus.
Behind him, the strange-looking followers all followed suit.
Egnus walked into the central square of Gaza City and loudly proclaimed the victory of the disease cult. His voice was hoarse and shrill, yet filled with a chilling power.
He cackled, "From this day forward, Gaza City will become the holy land of the god of disease, and disease will reign supreme here!"
The believers cheered, and coughs and groans filled the air.
"The Pope of Destiny has already fallen to our defeated foe, and has long since gone to meet his god! Hahaha, the worship of disease will begin with the Church of Destiny, and will once again restore its former glory! Disease will spread throughout the entire continent of Ver, celebrating the arrival of our god!"
"disease!"
"disease!"
The lord of Pingtie City, not far from Gaza City, was terrified when he received the message from the neighboring city.
Who could have imagined that war would break out so suddenly? Isn't this disease worship going to provoke the wrath of all religious sects?
There were also many guests from other religions in Gaza City.
No, they were originally the targets that Dawn was meant to eliminate, so they've become fearless.
Presumably, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the dawn and the allied sects were busy fighting against war and dreams, and make a move against fate.
The city lord of Pingtie immediately ordered the city gates to be closed and discussed countermeasures with the commander of the Pingtie Knights.
Under no circumstances should people who worship disease be allowed into the city!
We just hope that reinforcements will arrive soon.
After two days of anxious anticipation, the Lord of Pingtie City finally welcomed the Knights of Destiny from headquarters.
The one in the lead was said to be the newly appointed knight commander, and he also recognized the person next to the other knight commander, who was the head of the Gray family, whom he had visited when he went to North City before.
He went to greet them, his face almost wet with tears.
But the next moment, he heard the cawing of flocks of crows. The sky above Pingtie City was covered by a dark, oppressive mass of crows.
"It's terrible, Lord! The disease worship has attacked!" the attendant beside him said anxiously.
"Light up the communication stone and have the guards evacuate the civilians from the streets. Also, please have the captain and the bishop come over. Tell them that reinforcements from headquarters have arrived and that everything is under the command of Lord Grey and the Knight Commander!"
"The city lord of Pingtie City said sternly."
"yes."
The city lord's guard is the only army stationed here by the Kingdom of Puna. Although they are all ordinary people, their years of training have enabled them to deal with some emergencies. Protecting the people is their duty in such times.
Although the Knights of Pingtie were not weak, they could only reduce some unnecessary casualties by joining forces with the Knights of Headquarters.
"You're quite good, calm and collected in the face of danger, unlike that guy in Gaza City who was bought off with a few blue crystals." Joshua sneered.
If the lord of Gaza hadn't fled with his guards the day before the disease cult arrived, Gaza wouldn't have fallen so quickly.
After all, the city gates were already open to the enemy, so what was the point of the people inside holding out?
"Knight Commander, Lord Joshua, the safety of tens of thousands of believers in Pingtie City depends entirely on you!" The city lord of Pingtie City bowed deeply.
"We should call him Bishop Joshua now."
The middle-aged man beside Joshua smiled and reminded him that he was wearing the special armor of the Knights of Destiny, but he was not a member of the Knights of Destiny. Instead, he was a family knight of the Gray family and one of Joshua's confidants.
His name is Edmund, and he is another powerful figure of divine revelation level in the Grey family.
"Ah, Edmund, it's you." The city lord of Pingtie City almost didn't recognize his old friend.
They are all native to Pingtiecheng.
"Protecting our homeland is our bounden duty!"
The reinforcements headed towards the direction of the disease worship.
