Chapter 302: The Use of Spies
Lugh ordered, “Search and find a few living people.”
Not long after, the members of the Emergency Response Team found survivors.
In the station warehouse, there were seven survivors.
Three station staff, four armed soldiers, and the leader was a Second Lieutenant.
The Second Lieutenant was extremely excited when he saw Lugh’s uniform.
“Major.”
“What happened in Nanyu City?”
“It’s like this…”
Fifteen days ago, the Guardian of Nanyu City, Hall, was killed. The Reclamation Troops stationed outside the city were attacked by the beast hordes and suffered heavy losses.
Following that, the city guards of Nanyu City opened the city gates. Countless disciples of the Beast God Cult rushed into the city and caused havoc, causing chaos.
Now, the entire Nanyu City was in chaos.
“This should be the work of the Beast God Cult. That’s right,” Turner said from the side. “The Northwest and West Military Regions have all caused such chaos. This is revenge!”
“Revenge?”
“That’s right, they are taking revenge. They are taking revenge on Nanyu City and our army.” Turner had a deep understanding of the Beast God Cult. He explained, “Generally speaking, the Beast God Cult prefers to develop in the dark. However, every time they are suppressed or suffer losses, they will take extremely aggressive revenge. They will not hesitate to destroy a city. They are a bunch of lunatics. In their words, they are returning to the embrace of the Beast God Cult…”
“They chose Nanyu City as their target and even assassinated Hall. It’s very likely that they wanted to take revenge on the recent incident where the Bishop of the Beast God Cult was in Nanyu City.” Turner looked at Lugh. “Speaking of which, that Bishop was killed by Captain Lugh.”
“Yes!”
Lugh nodded. “During the last mission, when I went to Blue Star City to remove the underground research room of the Black Feather Organization, I also met a peak Platinum-level expert of the Beast God Cult. At that time, he even spent money to buy my life.”
Daler said, “These cultists are all a bunch of petty people.”
Lugh asked Turner, “My Stormhawk told me that the outer city of Nanyu City is in utter chaos. However, there are still troops maintaining order in the central city district, the inner city district, and so on. Have the people from the Beast God Cult left?”
“It’s not realistic to completely destroy Nanyu City with just one or two Platinum-tier Beast Masters. The people from the Beast God Cult should also know this,” Turner analyzed. “Their main force might have left after creating a kind of chaos. At most, they would have left behind a portion of their forces to scatter among the crowd and continue creating chaos.”
Lugh asked, “How should we deal with those people?”
This was the first time he was facing these crazy followers of the Beast God Cult.
He had no similar experience in dealing with them before.
“The first thing is to give a warning. If they don’t listen and use force to suppress, create a riot, rob, kill, and arson… Immediately execute them,” Dale said simply. “The riot in Nanyu City might have been started by the followers of the Beast God Cult. The followers of the Beast God Cult are secretly fanning the flames. The residents living in the safe zone outside the city and the civilians in the slums might also have all sorts of grievances and start a riot… The losses of the city guards in Nanyu City might not be large, but Hall is dead. They don’t know the movement of the Beast God Cult, so they don’t dare to send troops to suppress them. They are still watching.”
“Turner, inform the city guards of Nanyu City to cooperate with us in suppressing the rebellion.”
“Lucy will lead the 14th emergency team to cooperate with the city guards.”
“Gaden will lead the members of the worm train to break out the logistics supplies.”
“Daler, Charles, follow me. We’ll search for the disciples of the Beast God Cult of Nanyu City together.”
After giving a series of orders, Lugh turned to the three Star Glory-level experts. “Can we?”
Turner nodded with a smile. “No problem. Let’s do it.”
Daler and Charles nodded as well.
Lugh heaved a sigh of relief.
This was his first time commanding three Star Glory Beast Masters, and he was actually a little worried.
Fortunately, he had shown a few moves on the way, and won the recognition of the three Star Glory Beast Masters.
Turner summoned his pet beast and flew directly to the inner city of Nanyu City.
Under the lead of the Second Lieutenant of the Nanyu City garrison, Lucy led her team to the city district.
The streets near the worm train station were bustling with activity. However, there were a few corpses strewn across the bustling streets at the moment.
The doors of the shops were either smashed open or turned upside down, leaving a mess.
Some of the shops were tightly shut. Pairs of vigilant eyes peeked through the cracks to peer into the outside world.
Many pairs of eyes lit up when they saw the Emergency Response Team.
Lucy led her people into a street and saw seven or eight men with weapons standing in front of the door of a shop that had been smashed open.
Two fresh male corpses were placed in front of the door of the shop.
They drilled into the shop from the hole that had been smashed open, and the screams of women could be heard from the shop.
“Deal with it,” Lucy said to Clark beside her
“Yes.”
Clark was the one who attracted attention from Lugh.
So Lucy liked to bring her to her side.
In the eyes of the members of the Emergency Response Team, this was why Lucy valued Clark.
Clark also thought so.
Because she was a spy, Clark worked very hard for Lucy.
She never gave any discounts.
This group of mobs couldn’t resist Lucy’s 14th emergency team.
The members of the emergency team didn’t show any mercy.
The mob they killed was caught in the act.
Lugh, Daler, and Charles rushed to the square in Nanyu City.
Almost all the members of the Beast God Cult gathered in the square.
They knelt on the ground and chanted prayers.
On the high platform in the middle of the square, there was a statue that was as tall as a person.
The statue was a combination of an ugly monster.
It had a tiger’s head, a bear’s body, and goat’s feet. It had eight spider-like feet. There were plant vines wrapped around its waist, and a pair of huge bird wings grew on its back.
However, Lugh admired the workers who carved the statue. Even such an ugly monster could make him feel nothing.
That statue’s image was the Beast God of the Beast God Cult.
The statue wasn’t simple. It was constantly emitting a faint spiritual energy fluctuation.
Ordinary people would gradually be hypnotized if they were within the statue’s range of influence for a long time.
Among the nearly ten thousand followers of the Beast God Cult, the vast majority were commoners, with a few low-level Beast Masters mixed in.
The people who participated in the prayer weren’t all believers either.
At least, Lugh noticed that there were people who were just there to make up the numbers.
However, that was just a small trick. If they followed the followers of the Beast God Cult, they would be completely assimilated sooner or later.
Not long after, Lugh noticed that among the ten thousand Beast God Cult’s followers, there were seven or eight Beast Masters mixed in.
Their bodies were also emitting spiritual fluctuations.
“Daler, knock out the ordinary people first.”
Once they took action, these ordinary Beast God Cult’s believers would be easily affected.
If they didn’t control them, they might even make a move on Lugh and the others.
It wasn’t because Lugh was merciful, but because most of these believers were innocent.
They could still be saved.
“Yes!”
Daler strode forward, walking towards the square.
His eyes turned silver-white, and his spiritual energy erupted, spreading out like a ripple.
The tens of thousands of civilians who were kneeling on the square praying fell one after another.
The square, which had been extremely noisy just a moment ago, was now dead silent.
The seven Beast Masters on Lugh’s head were controlled by the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, walking towards Lugh.
He immediately had the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly use its hypnosis ability.
Lugh looked at the strongest silver-tier Beast Master among them and asked, “Who killed Nanyu City’s Guardian Hall?”
The Silver-tier Beast Master opened his mouth and said, “I don’t know.”
“What about your accomplices?”
“I don’t know.”
…
Lugh looked at Daler, and Daler also looked at Lugh’s Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.
“It’s probably because a part of his memory has been sealed. If I’m lucky, I’ll need a few hours to find the memory clues. If I’m unlucky, I might need a few days or even ten days,” Daler said, spreading his hands. “If we’re in a hurry, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly is the best.”
Lugh looked at the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly. The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly had already actively flown to the head of the Silver-tier Beast Master, extending its curled mouthpart.
Its big black eyes were waiting for Lugh’s order.
Daler couldn’t help but laugh. “Your little baby is quite active.”
“Let’s begin!”
