The Constitutional Army did not dare to enter the faith radiation range of the temple. They set up artillery positions in a safe place.
"Respected Cardinal Priest Knut, don't we go to destroy those artillery battlefields?"
Faced with the question of Level 7 Hive Priest Umut, Knut felt that these young people were stupid in the southern continent. He said: "As long as we leave the faith radiation range of the temple, the furnace can easily kill us. Have you forgotten how your Cardinal Priest Montella died?"
Umut understood the reason, but watching the Constitutional Army set up artillery positions in the distance made the priests feel offended.
The Constitutional Army artillerymen were very skilled. They quickly fixed and installed the gun mounts and adjusted the muzzles.
Knut said: "Speed up the construction of the temple. As long as the temple is built, these constitutional army will be at the door of the temple. Then we can do whatever we want."
After thinking about it, Knut ordered again: "Quick! Bring the sacrifices here! Let the sacrifices surround them. The sacrifices are killed by the constitutional army. If they die fresh and their souls have not yet dissipated, they can also be used as nutrients for the temple of the goddess of harvest."
While the constitutional army was preparing the artillery positions, the evil god cult was driving the sacrifices. These sacrifices were in the villages behind, and they were driven to the vicinity of the temple in groups.
The priests in the villages and towns farther away also received the order. The priests drove the sacrifices and drove them to the vicinity of the temple that had not yet been built.
Brigade commander Brook looked at everything in astonishment. He thought the evil god church called more priests, but he didn't expect that they actually let the unarmed sacrifices come.
The sacrifices were tied together with ropes and chains, and rushed here in a bunch. Under the command of the priests, they circled around the periphery of the construction site.
Half of the citizens of Danny City were sacrificed to the evil god Annihilation, and half of the farmers in the surrounding towns and villages would be sacrificed to the evil god's insect nest.
Sacrificing half of the population to build the temple and leaving the other half as future believers, the evil god's plan was perfect.
Some rumors spread quietly among the farmers. Half of the people in Danny City were missing, but the cemetery outside the city was not expanded on a large scale. I don't know where they went.
The sacrifices were not divided into old and young. Several members of the farmer's family were tied together. Some wore thin pajamas, and some cotton clothes were whipped into shreds.
Their feet were tied with iron chains, and there were half-dried bloodstains on the soles of their feet. The iron rings kept rubbing against the wounds, and these wounds would never heal.
The priests didn't even need to prepare food for them, because the sacrifice would be completed in a few days anyway, and the farmers had been hungry for more than a day.
When the number of sacrifices increased, more and more people began to cry, especially women and children, who cried continuously. The priests did not stop them, and enjoyed the fear of the sacrifices.
In the artillery position, the soldiers looked at each other. They could not accurately control the landing point of the shells. If they fired at this time, the shells would inevitably fall into the sacrifices.
Many soldiers were from Danny City. They anxiously reported to their superiors that they saw people they knew among the sacrifices.
The soldiers pointed at the officers and pointed out acquaintances, hoping that the officers could find a way to help them rescue their relatives or friends.
These soldiers from Danny City were lucky. They did not see the death of citizens with their own eyes. They were also unfortunate, and they were about to witness the sacrifice of farmers with their own eyes.
Among the officers and soldiers in Danny City, Hater had the highest rank, and he became the battalion commander.
"Brigade commander! Please let me lead the charge! Let me go save those farmers in Danny City!"
Brooke ignored the officers' pleas, and after a slight struggle, he issued an order:
"Gather the officers and soldiers in Danny City temporarily, and tell them that the evil god cult has destroyed their hometown! Let the witch hunters explain to them that these people are about to become sacrifices and will die in the sacrifice of the evil god cult! Their fate can only be death, there will be no second ending! It's cruel to say this, but there is no difference between being blown to death by us and being sacrificed."
Hearing this, the officers hurried to execute the brigade commander's order.
Battalion commander Hater wanted to say something, but he was stopped by his superior, a regimental commander, and dragged away.
Hate saw in despair that the officers began to adjust their deployment, gathering the soldiers from Danny City together and not letting them operate the artillery.
Duke, the head of the Court of Justice, came to the soldiers and said: "Children of Danny City! I am Duke, the head of the Court of Justice of Eagle Beak Province! Please believe me. I have been dealing with the evil god for half my life. I will tell you a cruel truth! The Worm Nest Church in the evil god cult is about to build a temple in front of you. Building a temple is not a simple civil engineering project, nor a simple construction project. They built the temple to give the evil god a node to deploy power. The evil god's divine power is very huge. Only the huge power of faith brought by sacrifice can help the evil god penetrate the space and descend the divine power. The basis of sacrifice is the vitality of a large number of sacrifices! A temple has been built in the urban area of Danny City, and at least half of the citizens of Danny City have been sacrificed by the evil god. A Worm Nest Temple is being built in front of you. Those who are dragged by iron chains are sacrifices to the evil god's worm nest! What we have to do is to prevent the establishment of the Worm Nest Temple, so as to prevent the evil god's worm nest. Project His power directly here!
Only by stopping the sacrificial ceremony can more people be saved. If a farmer unfortunately dies in the artillery fire, there is nothing we can do.
The farmers are our friends who grow food for us, and we certainly don't want to hurt them. But we really can't do anything. This is a war with the evil god, and it was the evil god who captured the farmer's family first.
Open your eyes and watch, children of Danny City, I hope you can remember what happened today.
If we succeed, please remember that the evil god is not invincible!
If we fail..."
Duke looked at the soldiers of Danny City with red eyes:
"If we fail! If the temple is successfully built, where we stand is the square of the temple!
Whether it is me, Brigadier General Brook, or other officers, let us be buried with the farmers of Danny City!"
The soldiers from Danny City finally calmed down and understood what they were doing.
The Insect Nest Temple was built. This is the entrance to the temple. The priests can easily use the power of the temple to eliminate them all.
The brigade commander, the director, and other senior officials are all risking their lives. No one can escape.
Director Duke has other things to do. After temporarily appeasing the soldiers, he went to do his thing.
Battalion Commander Hater stood in front of all the soldiers. Hundreds of people looked silently in the direction of Danny City. At this moment, they were homeless poor people.
The first cannon sounded, and the shells rushed out with a whistle, hitting the temple construction site surrounded by sacrifices and priests.
