Meanwhile, on the other side...

Among the remnants of the city guard knights, numbering over a hundred, Ji Yue was resting against the broken walls and ruins.

She had the highest score among the six players and was the player who finally took control of the squad after the deaths of one captain and three vice-captains.

All of this was achieved by her leading this group of defeated soldiers step by step.

From the fall of the outer city walls to the street battles, and then to the failed attempt to reinforce the inner city, she lost count of how many people she had killed and how many battles, large and small, she had experienced in the past four days.

The distance between the inner and outer cities, which should have been covered in a day, has taken four days to reach, demonstrating just how fierce the battles along the way have been.

The once beautiful Gasmella, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, is now a wasteland, overrun by countless "chaotic" Believer, turning this land that should have resonated with the voice of Truth into a place of mournful wailing.

"When the death knell tolls, let out a wail."

The wailing had already begun, and now Ji Yue only hoped that she wouldn't be the one to continue the wailing.

Just now, the team encountered another wave of Bellringer Knight had gone berserk.

Although they were few in number, each of them was a skilled fighter, which made the already struggling remnant army even more exhausted.

Apart from the whistles that had been scattered, everyone collapsed in the ruins, doing their best to recover their strength and Greed "enjoying" this rare truce.

Not long after, a soldier with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a full beard quietly climbed up the broken wall. He looked at Ji Yue, who was resting with her eyes closed, and took out...

A Daggers.

And gently, he placed the tip of the blade against Ji Yue's chest.

However, just as the gleaming, sharp Daggers was about to pierce his flesh, the Erudite Scholar, who was about to reach 2600 points, suddenly opened his eyes.

With a slight lift of her right hand, she moved the Daggers that was supposed to be piercing her chest into an unknown Void!

Void, and more Void!

The Scholar in the Void Energy Department are the most Scholar about the Void in the entire Tower of Reason, so most of their talents are related to the Void.

The warrior holding the Daggers was not surprised. He neither retreated nor explained, but stood quietly in place, his meaningful eyes slowly looking at Ji Yue.

Ji Yue glanced at him coldly and said sarcastically:

"Griffis, the prerequisite for treating others without causing misunderstandings is prior notification."

Using Daggers stealthily is not a good option for the Battle Marshal.

If you're not the only Priest in the team, I'm more inclined to believe that you're trying to get rid of me and take my place.

"Tell me, did you kill Captain Griff? When did you become one of His men?"

Here, "He" naturally refers to the chaos that caused all of this.

That's right, this burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is the squad quartermaster Griffis that Fang Shiqing just mentioned. He is also one of the few comrades who fought alongside them for four days and four nights and is still alive.

Griffis grinned self-deprecatingly and said in a low voice:

"I have never wanted to be Believer in Him as much as I do today."

But Truth tells me that chaos is not Civilization.

Ji Yue moved his arm away and scoffed:

"You are merely a prisoner of the Truth; He has no regard for you."

Besides, when did Believer in "war" become so sentimental?

"What brings you here? Get to the point."

"You're too tired, you need treatment," Griffis said, staring into Ji Yue's eyes.

"There are many people who need treatment more than I do. Arcade is still lying on a stretcher. If you have the Divine Power, you can go and check on him."

Sending a Martial Expert to the front lines is far more useful than relieving my fatigue.

"Yue, he is far less important than you." Griffis grabbed Ji Yue's hand, his expression becoming affectionate. "My energy is limited. I can't care about anyone else but you."

Seeing Griffis's reckless actions and direct gestures, the beautiful female player, dressed in a tight-fitting Mage outfit and with long silver-gray hair, laughed.

That smile was like a splash of wine red on a black and white canvas.

But the burgundy color on her lips wasn't from lip gloss; it was from the blood of her enemies.

"You approached me secretly just to say these things?"

Quartermaster, is all your remaining energy spent on chasing women?

"How amusing. What, you want to sleep with me?"

"..."

Griffis was stunned.

He did have this idea; after all, Believer in "war" always needs to vent his frustrations and anxieties.

But when he heard Ji Yue's words were even more direct than his own, he stammered and couldn't get a reply.

Saying "yes" or "no" at this point seems inappropriate.

"Very good!

Thank you for thinking of sleeping with me even in the midst of the chaos.

Ji Yue stood up, hiding her figure in the shadow of an unfallen stone pillar, and coldly looked down at Griffis, who was looking up at her. Her voice was like a gale sweeping across a glacier, piercing and chilling.

"This is the last time, Griffis."

Remember, it was your Priest profession that saved you.

But just then, it was time for the sentry to rotate shifts.

The Fire Keeper carefully led Cheng Shi back along the trenches in the ruins, and their first words upon entering the camp were:

"We encountered a disengaged knight Priest. Ji Yue, where are you?"

"?"

Upon hearing Fang Shiqing's voice, Ji Yue silently summoned back the Daggers she had thrown into the Void, and the Daggers appeared in front of Griffis's chest, in the exact same spot where he had just "assassinated" her.

Immediately afterward, before Griffis could react, the Erudite Scholar used the simplest method, using his elbow as a hammer, to plunge the tip of the blade directly into Gerfius's chest.

"Laugh--"

My heart ruptured.

Griffis's face was filled with terror!

He never expected Ji Yue to kill him, let alone at this time.

He lost his strength and knelt on the ground, his hands gripping Ji Yue's arm tightly. Blood was gushing from his mouth, his face filled with disbelief, but his eyes were full of regret and malice.

"You... you're insane! I'm your... Priest..."

The only... Priest!

Ji Yue sneered, not even glancing at him.

"That's not the case now."

Griffis was startled, glancing in the direction of Cheng Shi with the last glimmer of his life, then turned back with difficulty and cursed at Ji Yue:

"Bitch... you filthy bitch..."

Sooner or later... you will all be buried with me!

He... has come, He has seen...

"Laugh--"

Before he could finish speaking, the Daggers was pulled out of his body.

The bloodless silver light lashed across the ruins, but drew a perfectly curved line of blood from Griffis's chest.

With a "thud," the body fell to the ground.

The Battle Marshal died with his eyes wide open, lying face down in front of his prey.

Cheng Shi followed Fang Shiqing all the way to the "acting captain" and saw that the silver-haired Mage had seen off a burly man with stubble.

He looked at Fang Shiqing in bewilderment, only to find that Fang Shiqing's expression was also not good.

"You killed Griffis... Ji Yue, he was the only Priest in the team!"

Ji Yue concealed the Indifference on her face and gave a warm, welcoming smile.

"I said, that's not the case anymore."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Cheng Shi and nodded in greeting.

"This person is the only Priest in the team."

Nice to meet you. I am Ji Yue, the acting captain of the 41st Knight Squad of the Outer City Guard.

Which team did you retire from?

Cheng Shi's gaze lingered on the corpses of Ji Yue and Griffis. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly realized that this acting captain was not so easily fooled.

At least when it comes to identifying the mole, her intuition is far sharper than that of the Fire Keeper.

"What, you've even forgotten your own unit number?"

Ji Yue walked up to Cheng Shi with a smile, looked him up and down, and gave him a rather amused look:

"What about the name? You remember the name, right?"

Wrong!

This doesn't feel right!

Cheng Shi lowered his gaze slightly, took a half step back, and looked at Ji Yue with a hint of wariness.

The beautiful woman opposite him seemed to have seen through his identity, but the problem was, how did she know he wasn't a city guard knight when he hadn't even said a word?

[Truth] There are such methods?

His former Believer have also been deceived by Him.

Just Cheng Shi was frantically trying to figure out what was going on, Ji Yue spoke up again.

This time, her words stunned everyone present.

"You can't even remember the name?"

It's okay, I'll help you remember.

Your surname is Cheng, and your given name is Shi. You're not some knight-team Priest, but rather...

The Reason Corroder!

You are His Believer!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Void above Cheng Shi's head opened up!

Two black hands, as sticky as silt, suddenly burst out from the Void and smashed towards Cheng Shi's head!
