I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 52: The Pagan's Nightmare
The pagans wore black robes that covered their entire bodies, making it impossible to tell whether they were men or women, or even what sect they belonged to.

This is not because the Arborists and the Nativity Society both belong to the "Evolution" camp, but mainly because the attack on Winterhold Fortress is of great importance, and they have to be careful in everything and not be careless about the details.

The uniform clothing is intended to confuse the Winterhold Fortress.

In the so-called war against heresy, information is an exceptionally important strategic resource.

The more you know about the enemy, the greater the possibility of victory, and even if you fail, you can reduce your losses.

For example, in the current battle, if Duke Raymond had not investigated the existence of the contaminated mother tree in advance, even Wyatt would not be able to see what the pagans were doing in the rear at the first time.

Only with accurate intelligence can we formulate targeted plans.

However, this time, it seems that Winterhold Fortress does not have the advantage in terms of intelligence.

The news of Wyatt's deeds in the Wasteland Territory had long been spread to the ears of the pagans. Naturally, the tree planters were wary of him, and the Nativity Society was eager to grind him to ashes.

With the lessons learned from Clara Academy, the pagans were even more wary of Wyatt than the entire Winterhold Fortress.

Therefore, the plan against Wyatt came into being.

Behind the pagans, the pagans who were responsible for sowing and polluting the planting grounds of the mother trees were paying special attention to the situation on the front lines.

"Can we really force the director out with just this garbage?"

"Who knows? Anyway, we just need to plant the mother tree well."

"It seems that the director is quite kind to the Fallen. When he sees so many Fallen, will he be unable to kill them? Then our mission will fail."

"You don't know that guy at all." An old pagan joined the conversation, "You haven't seen what that man did on the front line. If you knew, you would definitely think that your current mission is tantamount to sending yourself to die."

"Deacon Simon, what do you mean?"

The old man named Deacon Simon is the oldest member of the Society of the Nativity. They have served the Society for a longer time than some of the believers themselves.

Deacon Simon happened to be the most knowledgeable among the deacons. It was said that he had studied at a university in Mayos when he was young and had done some research after graduation.

There are many different opinions within the church as to why he joined the Society of the Nativity.

Some say that he converted devoutly after seeing the mural of the Lord, others say that his family was destroyed by dirty tricks used by his academic opponents, and some say that his family was a secret agent of the Nativity Society planted in the city of Mayos, and that he was born a member of the Nativity Society.

Perhaps only a few people know the origins of Deacon Simon.

Unlike his background, the church had a surprisingly consistent view on whether Deacon Simon was well-informed.

So much so that when Deacon Simon suddenly spoke, the two young pagans' hearts were in their throats.

No wonder Deacon Simon felt a little off after receiving the task of sowing the polluted mother tree. It seemed that he knew very well what would happen if he faced Wyatt head-on.

Deacon Simon turned his head and looked at the front line. He knew that Wyatt had already gone down the mountain.

He recalled an experience at the foot of the Dragon Bone Mountains, when Deacon Simon first faced Wyatt.

"Do you remember the total defeat that shocked the entire church?"

The remains of the apostles at the top of the Dragon Bone Mountains have always been something that the pagans are obsessed with. The fallen "disaster" apostle is extremely powerful. Even though he has fallen, there is still considerable supernatural power left in his remains, which will bring a terrible natural disaster to the world every hundred years.

Because of this, the Nativity Society had also longed to get in touch with the dragon bone. If they could obtain some key parts, they might be able to create an unprecedented Son of God. They also put their ideas into action. The exploration team organized by the Nativity Society was led by Deacon Simon.

The supernatural power left in the dragon bones refuses anyone to approach, which is why the dragon bones can be placed on the top of the mountain forever.

Whenever someone attempts to break into the top of the mountain, it will cause a disaster, so the Kingdom of Mayos has set up a certain degree of surveillance on the Dragon Bone Mountains.

The exploration team of the Nativity Society was foolishly discovered by the Kingdom of Mayos.

So the military quickly dispatched a troop to the Dragon Bone Mountains. It was originally estimated that it would take seven days to arrive, but the team actually arrived at the foot of the Dragon Bone Mountains in just three days.

The troop was led by Wyatt. It was said that he used magic to continuously strengthen the team's horses. They rushed to the Dragon Bone Mountains day and night, and all the fatigue of the men and horses was offset by his magic.

This is not without burden, in fact it is a challenge to the spirit of the extraordinary. Deacon Simon later learned about what Wyatt had done and commented that he was crazier than the pagans.

Of course, what Deacon Simon found most unforgettable was the battle on the mountainside.

Blood splattered? Limbs flying?
No, none of those scenes.

If it were just these scenes, they would not have left Deacon Simon with a lifelong nightmare, after all, pagans had seen many such scenes.

What really terrified Deacon Simon was watching the team members being evaporated one by one by Wyatt, leaving only the clothes on their bodies lying alone on the snow, with their bodies and souls sent to an unknown place.

Unable to fight back, the screams were accompanied by rising white smoke, which continued into the air and eventually dissipated, as if they had never happened.

Deacon Simon will never forget Wyatt looking down at him, with the palm of his hand that had sent all the team members away facing him, and the piercing burning sensation spread throughout his body.

If he hadn't suddenly fallen to the ground, Deacon Simon would probably have died on the snowy mountain.

Maybe Wyatt was overworked or suffered backlash from something, but Deacon Simon would never know in his lifetime.

All he knew was that if he faced this man he would have to run away.

But he never expected that he would have to face this man again in his lifetime.

But now is the time for the survival of the Nativity Society. For the sake of the church, it doesn't matter if Wyatt evaporates, as long as the church can have its own apostles.

That's enough.

"Deacon Simon, I'm a little scared after hearing what you said."

"Don't be afraid, child." Deacon Simon suddenly became firm. "We don't need to be afraid of death. Death is the end of everything. The Lord is waiting for us there."

"Lord...will He really wait for us?"

Deacon Simon did not answer this question. He vaguely felt that his current fear of Wyatt did not come from the annihilation of the army that year.

Rather, it came from the fact that he had destroyed the faith of the Nativity.

The sudden changes on the front line pulled everyone out of their anxiety. They all looked to the front line and saw a huge blood-red wave sweeping everything and rushing towards the rear.

It's really scary that the cannon fodder on the front line has no ability to fight back.
