Chapter 311 War of Mortals (Part 1)
Seeing this scene, another prisoner turned around and fled backwards, which made Zero look a little disappointed.
She turned into a ray of light and rushed into the prisoner's body. The prisoner stopped immediately, his eyes turned white, and then a strange change occurred in his body—this was not the first time Mayne saw such a scene, but no matter how much he watched This time, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
I saw a dim light bursting out from the captive's body, the body twisted and deformed, and finally turned into the appearance of a pure person.
He knew that this was not a simple replacement or killing, but what happened during the transformation process, I am afraid only the pope and the person involved would understand.
Zero took a deep breath, and walked back to the last prisoner.
He was the youngest of the three captured spies. He was only about fourteen or fifteen years old. His slightly green eyes were full of shock and fear, as if he couldn't believe what happened just now.
"Now, only you are left." She whispered, "Al."
Hearing these words, the boy who was trembling to pick up the scimitar froze for a moment, "W-why..."
"The gods told me everything. You were originally just a child of a farmer in the outskirts, but because of the wolf king's order, the whole village was forced to move into the city to take on the labor of repairing the city wall, building military supplies, and delivering food and grass. They didn't Because you were let go when you were young, and you were conscripted into the investigation team, in fact, you were left to fend for yourself." She reached out and stroked the other's cheek, "The best evidence is that the first time you passed When the Muslim army was conducting intelligence operations, the captain of the guard didn’t even let you in at the city gate, but asked you to continue following us after listening to the report, right?”
"I..." Al opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"Of course they won't let you in, because your family no longer exists. Whether your parents or brothers are the same as you, they are just the consumables of the wolf king. If you let you go back, wouldn't it be troublesome for the reconnaissance?" Everyone in the team knows?" Jie Luo continued, "Your father accidentally fell to his death while filling the gap in the city wall, and your mother went to the overseer team but was whipped and punished, and she is now in dire straits. Evil is always flowing like sewage, are you sure you want to serve such a ruler?"
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, with uncontrollable grief appearing on his face, "This...impossible, you are lying to me!"
"Gods never lie." The Pure One shook his head, "You know in your heart that what I'm telling is the truth. The root cause of all this is that the nobles never regard you as the real kind, but just animals who want whatever you want. What we have to do is to put an end to all these evils and injustices and build a new world under the supervision and care of God."
Al fell to his knees with a plop, crying with his head buried in his head, "What, what should I do?"
"Follow your heart, only the gods can judge."
He choked up and said: "I was wrong, I am willing to tell you everything I know, as long as I can save my mother, I am willing to do anything."
"Good boy," Zero patted his head, took out a plant full of slender leaves from her pocket, and handed it to him, "Eat this and have a good sleep. It can help you stabilize your mood, She tore off half a leaf and chewed it in her mouth, "Just like me. When Wolfheart City is breached tomorrow, maybe you will be able to see your mother again."
Mayne frowned. That plant was exactly the sleeping fern used to configure the dream water. Witches would not be affected if they ate it raw, but it was an extremely severe poison to ordinary people, and winter flowers had to be used to neutralize the poison. Sure enough, the prisoner's face turned livid not long after he ate it. He strangled his throat, looked at the smiling Zero in disbelief, and let out a ho-ho inhalation sound from his throat. Soon the nails tore through the skin and blood vessels, and the splashed blood dyed the neck bright red. After struggling in pain for half an hour, his body gradually became limp and he stopped breathing.
"It's a pity that the gods didn't forgive your crimes." Zero raised the corners of her lips, walked up to the archbishop, bowed and said, "My lord, what do you think of this trial? Does it have the demeanor of Lord Heather?"
"Why did you trick him into eating the Sleeping Fern?" Mayne asked in a deep voice. "In Heather's place, we would only add a devout believer, instead of making him know his way and then put him to death."
"If the relatives of the captives are as I said, they can naturally be recruited as believers. Unfortunately, I don't know the real situation of his parents. I just said those things casually." She shrugged nonchalantly, "Once he finds out These are all lies and clearly not good for the church. Believe me, I'm all for the church."
If you put your heart and soul into it, you should stay in the tent and wait for orders. Mayne turned his head impatiently, "The attack is about to start, you should prepare immediately. According to the plan, the wolf king and the queen of clear water—"
"You must die, my lord," the Pure One laughed. "If it's just me, I might not be able to do it, but since even Isabella is here, they will definitely not be able to escape the wolf's heart."

"Woo——————————————"
The horn of attack rolled across the sky, and amidst the overwhelming dark clouds and howling autumn wind, the second siege began.
Two miles away, the bracket used by the "Siege Beast" to launch the iron spear glowed with magical light. When the light was as bright as the sun, the iron spear seemed to be thrown by a giant's hand, and it exploded in an instant. The roar was ejected at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and flew straight towards the city wall.
After crossing such a long distance, its power remains undiminished, and the city wall made of snow stone cannot stop it at all-it easily smashes the stones blocking the way into powder, and even the militia team squatting behind the city wall also suffered. . In just three rounds of shooting, not to mention the city gate was completely smashed, and the nearby walls were also dilapidated.
Although the launch speed of the devil's siege equipment is comparable to that of a trebuchet, the range is several times longer. Under such an offensive, the defense troops are powerless to fight back. Since they cannot see the launch trajectory, they do not even know the next attack where will fall. Before the church army could move, the outer line of defense was already in jeopardy.
At this moment, there was an earth-shattering loud noise from behind the city wall!
I saw a huge fireball soaring into the sky, and everyone felt the vibration under their feet. Accompanied by flames and black smoke, this section of stone wall collapsed, and finally a gap appeared in the mottled spikes.
The urgent trumpet sounded again, and the mixed team of the Judgment Army and the God's Punishment Army began to charge towards the city wall. From a distance, it looks like a flowing sea of gold and red, and anyone who dares to stop it will be mercilessly swallowed by them.
Now, the wolf heart defenders will use their flesh and blood to fight against these warriors who do not belong to the mortal world.
