Chapter 193 A Victory

"An entire parish has been eradicated."

The underground church once again held an extraordinary meeting. During this period, they held more extraordinary meetings than regular meetings.

The church's actions put them under tremendous pressure.

"What's the situation at headquarters now?"

Several chief priests, whose figures were only visible, looked towards the main seat of the meeting. The figure sitting at the main seat did not show any emotional fluctuations.

"The headquarters is now also under threat and cannot respond too much."

The officiating priest below looked somewhat dissatisfied.

"So, we are just going to watch those lackeys of the church continue to harm our brothers and sisters?"

The figure on the main seat did not answer the question of the officiant.

"Carol doesn't know the situation in other dioceses, just like you. At least in the short term, the church should not be able to discover our organizations in other dioceses."

The mood of the officiating priests calmed down a little.

"Any news about the three survivors?"

"I sent two teams into the area that Carol was in charge of, and found no trace of them, but I am sure that the church's lackeys did not catch them."

The figure sitting in the main seat uttered "Oh" softly, motioning him to continue.

"My team found the church team that was chasing them. They were searching for survivors of that incident."

After the chief priest finished speaking, he looked around, and no one else said anything.

"I understand. Let one of the teams continue searching, and the other team will take over the underground church members in that kingdom."

A ray of light shot out from the figure sitting on the main seat and fell on the main priest.

All the news related to the underground churches in the Kingdom of Valandi appeared in the priest's mind.

"Keep stirring up hatred among the people of that kingdom. It's time to start a war."

The high priest understood what he should do, and then his figure disappeared in this space.

"get out!"

The stone smashed a shop on the street, which was originally a shop owned by a goblin family. It once supplied cloth to half of the city. The store was decorated very exquisitely, but now, the shop was in tatters and the sign was shaking under the stone, as if it would fall down at any time.

"We know you're hiding in there."

The crowd outside was throwing stones, but did not dare to rush in for the time being.

Most of them were just ordinary people in the city. Although the monster legends spread by those people successfully aroused their hatred towards aliens, they also aroused their fear of aliens.

In the distance, several priests were watching all this leisurely. They were very patient. These civilians would eventually overcome their fear, rush into the shop, drag out the goblins hiding inside, tie them to pillars, and stone them to death.

Once this process is completed, these civilians will become fanatically hostile to foreigners and there will be no turning back.

"He has confessed. You took food from his house."

The crowd pushed out a little boy, his hands were tied, he was trembling and looking around in panic.

He was born and raised in this city, but now he found this city so strange. After those usually friendly adults found out that he gave food to those goblins, they tied him up without hesitation and forced him to tell them where those goblins were. And now, he became their tool to threaten the goblins. And his father, among these adults, did the same as them, smashing the stone in his hand at the store in front of him. His mother could only look at him worriedly from a distance, but she didn't dare to come forward.

My father seemed to have forgotten that in the winter a few years ago, if it weren't for the cloth and firewood donated by the goblin, his family would probably have frozen to death.

No, he remembered it clearly.

"I worked as a handyman for them for half a year."

When I brought up this matter, my father said that he felt the two sides were even, and the goblins even got a big advantage.

After all, hiring a handyman for half a year would earn you far more than the grants at the time.

A group of people in black robes walked past the crowd. They just glanced at the crowd out of the corner of their eyes and lost interest in them.

The men in black robes all had church emblems on them, and they walked straight towards the priests who were hiding in the distance and inciting the crowd to attack the store.

The priests obviously noticed this unusual group of black-robed people, and they remembered the recent rumors and tried to run away, but a chain made of sunlight suddenly appeared and firmly fixed their legs to the ground.

"save……"

They opened their mouths and wanted to call for help, but just as they uttered a word, the black-robed priests covered their mouths with their big hands. The shouts of the crowd not far away completely drowned out the cries for help that the priests had just issued.

"Pastor Pato, Father Fran, Father Clayson, their identities are confirmed."

The men in black robes looked at the priests' faces carefully, and after confirming that they were their targets, they skillfully grabbed their throats. Soon, the priests' struggles stopped, and the lack of oxygen made them fall into a coma.

"Mission accomplished, take them away."

A carriage stopped steadily in front of the men in black robes. They quickly stuffed the unconscious priests into the carriage and then got on.

The carriage started to move slowly, and soon they would leave the city.

Outside the carriage window, several goblins walked out of the store.

"We are out. Please don't hurt Cohen."

They raised their hands to show that they were not hostile and did not carry any weapons, but were greeted by stones thrown by the crowd.

The oldest goblin was the first to fall. He was already twenty years old and didn't have many years left to live. When the stones flew over, he stood in front of the other two goblins.

But people had prepared a lot of stones, and after he fell, the stones continued to fly over and hit the remaining two goblins hard.

They soon fell to the ground, but the stones did not stop falling, continuously falling on the fallen goblins.

It was not until they were completely silent that the crowd burst into cheers, as if they had won a great victory.

"Ah... Really, I should have followed the Chamber of Commerce's convoy to evacuate."

The old goblin's vision was blurred, and it was difficult for him to see anything other than a blood-red color.

Before his vision completely fell into darkness, he saw a figure running towards him. From the vague outline, it seemed to be Coen. But Coen did not run to the goblin. When he was still ten meters away, he was picked up by several larger figures and then disappeared from the goblin's sight.

"You shouldn't be reluctant to part with the money. Evacuate with the Chamber of Commerce. Maybe you can still..."

The goblin's brain stopped functioning.
