Chapter 364 Feeding the Evil God with Your Body
"shooting!"
"Disperse! Quickly! Quickly! Quickly!!"
Kyle called out loudly, running forward with the Crusaders, and looking up at the [Mother] breathlessly.
He had to estimate where the limbs of [Mother] would fall, so that he could lead his team to dodge in advance, or shoot at the flesh-like body during the attack.
Will shooting work? Kyle didn't have time to observe, but he had a vague judgment in his mind - most likely not.
Only by standing in front of this monster could one feel how big it is. It was almost as if the Cathedral of Castel stood up and attacked them!
Fortunately, the church couldn't really stand up. You know, there were many machine gun bunkers on it, Kyle thought wildly in his mind.
Their battle was not easy, and they were even in a very awkward situation at the beginning. Fortunately, they had the mother-in-law standing by to assist them. Whenever there was a mistake in their coordination, a large group of crusaders would suddenly appear, attracting the attention of the [Mother] and then being crushed by Him.
Kyle knew that was his mother-in-law's extraordinary ability.
The Skitarii had fought alongside the Transcendents in the Deep Sea War, but this was the first time they had seen the Transcendents personally take action on the battlefield. Before that, the [Nymphs] of the Fire Moths were only assisting in the command. After all, there were too many enemies at that time, and they could not play a big role by personally taking part in the battle.
Kyle seized the opportunity and shouted, "Granny, what should we do next? We can't kill Him with just a rifle!"
Kyle is the leader of this crusader army, but the one in front of him is an extraordinary monster after all, so he chooses to trust his mother-in-law's judgment.
Sure enough, the mother-in-law's voice rang in my ears: "I have contacted Qiao Xi and the prince. The secret society is already taking action. If we buy some more time, they will be able to evacuate. The prince's harbor guards will soon come to support us!"
Kyle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that. Although he was tall and strong, he was actually very timid. He was extremely steady in commanding operations, which meant he was a coward.
Being cowardly is not necessarily a bad thing, especially in a battle that drags out time like this. The crusaders he leads do not seek merit but only to avoid mistakes, and there have been no casualties so far.
Dealing with the evil god in front of him was like dancing on swords. Kyle had been trembling inside the whole time, but now that he heard that it would be over soon, he felt much more energetic.
But he thought about it and frowned suddenly: "Those harbor guards of the prince? What use can they be?"
Granny shook her head. "I don't think they can fight against Mother head-on. There is no power in the entire Blood Harbor that can deal with Her. If they want to deal with Her, I'm afraid they will have to sacrifice themselves."
The mother-in-law informed the Crusaders of the details of [Mother] immediately. Kyle was shocked when he heard it: "Are you really looking for people to sacrifice? There are so many Mother Goddess believers, the prince can't possibly find so many dead soldiers, right? Are you going to let the extraordinary people fill the gap?"
The will of a superhuman being can outweigh the will of a large number of mortals, and the prince does have superhuman beings under his command. With his ruthless and decisive style, he might really push Galahad to fill the role.
Galahad's loyalty is beyond doubt. Even after witnessing such a terrifying power gap in Castel, he showed no signs of wavering. Perhaps he would really sacrifice his loyal men for the prince, which is more important, a city or a city? What will the prince choose?
"Let's try to get closer to the sea," said the mother-in-law.
Kyle nodded. He understood what his mother-in-law meant - to evacuate to the seaside towards Castel. Whether Blood Harbor can be saved depends on the prince. Their small army of priests can distract the monsters, but they are not supermen to solve the crisis.
It seems that the mother-in-law does not think highly of the prince. Kyle sighed and shifted his attention back to commanding the battlefield.
Next, under Kyle's command, the fighting style of the Skitarii became more conservative. Counterattacks became very rare, and they mainly focused on containment and self-preservation.
But in this way, the increase in [Mother's] strength could no longer be curbed, and before long, His physique grew a little bigger.
How could "He" grow so big? Kyle was puzzled.
After they came out of the upper city, they headed directly to the secret society without any hesitation, but were suddenly blocked by this huge evil god.
Fortunately, the Crusaders were used to seeing large monsters in the deep-sea wars, and they had seen the evil god before, as there was one burning in the furnace. Otherwise, they would have been frightened to death by suddenly seeing such a horrifying mountain of flesh, and would have suffered heavy casualties in the battle.
You have to know that when [Mother] showed up, she was already so huge that it blocked out the sun! Logically, they should have been able to see a monster of this size directly in the upper city. After all, the houses in this era were very low, and there were basically no three-story buildings. With the size of [Mother], she could be seen across half of the Blood Harbor.
My grandmother said that it had to grow little by little, but this one seemed to be born this big.
Kyle led the Crusaders into an alley, only to find a group of Mother Goddess believers as soon as they entered. The Crusaders raised their guns, then moved the muzzles downward before firing.
Blood spurted out of the cultists' legs, and they fell to the ground with calm faces.
The Crusaders did not choose to kill them, but simply injured them, then ignored the group of Mother Goddess believers and ran past them through the alley.
This is not just sympathy for the hungry people, but is based on practical considerations.
According to the information brought by the mother-in-law, [Mother of Mercy] will only devour dead believers, but will not kill living believers.
Then as long as we try not to kill the Mother Goddess's believers, [Mother] will have no believers to eat, no replenishment of flesh and soul, and will not be able to continue to become stronger. And the Crusaders have been firing at Her all the time. As the situation changes, sooner or later she will be worn down.
However, the speed at which [Mother] became stronger did not slow down at all, and there was even a tendency to intensify. There was no other force nearby that was killing the Mother Goddess's believers. Kyle once suspected that there was something wrong with the intelligence provided by his mother-in-law.
Until he came to this alley again with his soldiers.
When Kyle and the Crusaders passed by here again, they were surprised to find that there were only corpses on the ground.
Kyle opened his eyes wide. They had clearly only injured, not killed, the Mother Goddess's believers.
Maybe someone was unlucky and got hit in the aorta. In that case, they should have bled for a while before dying. How come there was no one alive when they passed by again? "Captain, Captain!"
A Crusader suddenly cried out in surprise and pointed at the pile of corpses with a trembling finger.
Kyle followed the line of sight and looked closely, and found that the wounds on the corpses did not seem to be limited to the legs, many people's necks were cut.
In their hands, they all held daggers, knives, or even just sharp tiles.
"Captain Kyle, they, they committed suicide!"
