483 Powerful Reinforcements (1/2)
”...”
Jiang Fei could not bring himself to say anything.
He knew that Forbidden Spells could be enhanced through equipment but he had never seen anything like it! He would never have thought that such an equipment could be obtained through a quest!
Even though the negative Vitality stat was a little troublesome since magicians are like glass-cannons, the magic attack stat of the ring was so powerful, it made the ring a must-have item for magicians!
Aside from the annoying negative Vitality stat, the ring had a Level Requirement of 60. Little Rain was only at Level 45. He would have to wait for quite some time until Level 60 is reached.
”My lord, what is the next step?” said Jiang Fei to Heinz.
”An eye for an eye, remember?” said Heinz as he held the sword in his hand tighter. He had considered the fallen Walkers as a real brother. The four of them; Heinz, Walkers, Ivan, and Frizt were a band of brothers. How could he ever forgive and forget the enemies who had killed his brother!
”You there!” cried Heinz as he called for one of the lower ranking soldiers.
”Yes, sir?”
”Rally together. I want you to repaint this town with the blood of its inhabitants! Except for the Moonlight Church, you shall not let anyone go!”
”Yes, sir!” The lower rank soldier raced across the platoon and spread the order. Soon enough, the entire army was marching to all corners, killing anyone and everyone of the Light Faction.
At this point, there was no resistance left. The soldiers that were supposed to be reinforcements were easily killed by Isabella. Even the higher officers of the Light Faction had been instantly swallowed by Isabella by the time Heinz and his fellow Dark Faction soldiers arrived.
Many of the closed doors of houses and shops were burst open and the NPCs inside were killed mercilessly. In no time at all, the entire town was wailing in terror.
”There's no need to kill innocent civilians, is there?” said Isabella. She had already morphed back to her normal self. Even though she enjoyed butchering sea monsters, she could not stomach the scene of the massacre.
”Princess, we came here with a mission. There cannot be any room for mistake. We must have insurance!” said Heinz as he bowed to Isabella. He did not retract the order.
”Mission? Does it have something to do with the Moonlight Church?” asked Jiang Fei.
”That's right. We have a piece of insider information. The Saint of the Luminous Church is supposedly meditating in that building!” said Heinz as he pointed toward the Moonlight Church.
”Are you going to kidnap her?” asked Jiang Fei. If they wanted to kill the Saint, Heinz would not waste much time killing innocent civilians. He would have just destroyed the entire building instead.
”That's where you're wrong. We are not kidnapping her. We are enslaving her! There are too many barriers and traps in that church. If we tried to destroy it, we would lose many of our soldiers. The reason why I had laid down the order to attack the town was to coax the Saint to come out on her accord. She is a naive little girl. Even if it was to protect the image of the Luminous Church, she would come out to secure the lives of these people,” said Heinz.
”Hm...”
Jiang Fei did not say much after. He did not approve of Heinz's method but it was out of his hands. He could understand that he was trying to protect his own troops. Even though it was a game to Jiang Fei, Heinz was living in it. He was a man of war and he understood the consequences of letting civilians go.
”Stop!”
