"I won't say anything! You just wait, the Grand Knight Commander will definitely come and deal with you!"
Near the walls of White Wax Town, players escorted the Stained Ones, who had been kicked around like footballs, out of the underground passage.
Most of the Stained Ones, especially those Stained Ones in with the regular Holy Crusaders, had completely lost the strength to resist, like dough with too much water being kneaded and rolled at will by the players.
But a few restless individuals still refused to give up, and Simon was one of them.
Half an hour ago, when that person said "stained with sin," he jumped up excitedly, saying the code words while trying to get closer to the people of White Wax Town.
The next moment, he lost his footing and fell into a dark and narrow underground space.
Stunned and disoriented from the fall, Simon struggled to his feet and realized that the space around him wasn't cramped at all; in fact, it was quite spacious. It only seemed narrow because seven or eight men wielding giant shields had surrounded him.
The hot-tempered Simon was not about to surrender easily. Looking at these enemies wielding massive shields, he was confident he could defeat them one by one.
Just as Simon began to perform his most proficient Directed Alienation, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower back.
Turning his head, he discovered that behind the circle of shield guards was a group of men hunched over, holding spears.
These people were hidden behind huge shields, and they were almost invisible unless you looked closely.
Their spears could also pierce through the gaps in the giant shield, and with the combination of the two, Simon instantly had several bloody holes in his body.
The excruciating pain slowed down Simon's Directed Alienation, forcing him to devote more energy to repairing his body.
Just then, the seemingly harmless shield bearers revealed their ferocious side, and a football match officially began in the spacious basement.
The process doesn't need to be described in detail. By the time the Soul Returner exhausted from playing, Simon was already swollen all over, and countless spears had left deep and shallow marks on his body.
The players worked together to capture him alive. Although Simon was captured, he still wouldn't let up, constantly mentioning Grand Knight Motley in every sentence, as if his spine was attached to his superior.
The players had never seen such a noisy prisoner before, and while revealing an ambiguous smile, they didn't gag Simon.
He continued to hurl insults until the escorting procession arrived at the White Wax Town Church, where he finally saw the Grand Knight Commander Motley, whom he had longed to see.
It just wasn't in the way he expected.
Leading a long line of prisoners behind him, [ Zhongde ] strode up to Ed with a touch of pride:
"My lord, I request to report the battle results to you."
It was a bit awkward, but... it was still acceptable.
Ed forced himself to maintain a dignified, expressionless demeanor.
"Speak."
Seeing his companions, all of whom were beaming with smiles, [ Zhongde ] reported loudly:
"The second phase of the plan has been successfully completed. After investigation, a total of 42 Stained Ones were found within the Holy Crusaders, including four squad leaders, twelve platoon leaders, and the rest ordinary soldiers who were hiding within the Holy Crusaders, waiting for an opportunity to corrupt others."
Ed nodded in satisfaction and pulled out a tightly bound rice dumpling from behind him:
" Motley has also been captured. There are a total of forty-three Stained Ones. Let's proceed with the plan."
"Yes."
[ Zhongde ] enthusiastically directed the members of his Concrete Pouring Club, under their escort, the Stained Ones would head to the team-building camp (prisoner of war camp) they had prepared in advance to receive the first wave of reformation.
As for those who are screened and found to have no problems, they will be assigned new jobs after a period of observation.
Because corruption within the Tree Worship Church typically occurs through infiltration from superiors to subordinates, the "fish" caught this time almost entirely comprised the upper-ranking officers of the Holy Crusaders.
Fortunately, there were a few like Jerry who, despite some ideological problems, still belonged to the upper-middle ranks of the Pure Ones, which prevented the remaining four hundred-plus Holy Crusaders from collapsing completely.
As for whether these people can use it with peace of mind, Ed is still reserved.
Holy See does not mean Second Holy See, and not being Stained Ones does not mean rejecting the ideas of Stained Ones.
In short Ed planned to have the Gungnir testify firsthand, using this opportunity to further vet the four hundred-plus people, selecting the usable ones to form a new organization, while those with problematic views...
The Second Holy See happened to be short-handed for farming.
It was already night, but the commotion on the edge of town had been so loud that most of the townspeople were still awake.
At this moment, many townspeople hid behind their windows, watching the Second Holy See's warriors bring in a large group of prisoners, and couldn't help but mutter to themselves:
Another victory so quickly?!
Looking at the hazy figures in the night, the townspeople suddenly realized something.
If it's a battle against Blood Corpse, no prisoners will be captured and brought into the city.
But since they saw a large number of people being escorted, it means that the battle against the Second Holy See was not fought against Blood Corpse...
Who could it be?
Many townspeople began to have wild speculations.
On the outskirts of White Wax Town, there is a " High-Quality Charcoal Processing Plant ".
Despite its name, this place has absolutely nothing to do with charcoal processing. The square, high walls and the brambles scattered around outside hint at one thing—
This is a prison.
As the [ Zhongde ] project began, another project, besides the city wall, also officially commenced.
Since the possibility of prisoners Stained Ones was anticipated, a prisoner-of-war camp was naturally essential.
Drawing on the excellent experience left by many predecessors in the real world, the players from the architecture department completed the sketch design of this prison almost effortlessly and began construction at lightning speed.
However, choosing a name has become a major problem.
Simply calling it " White Wax Town Prison" or " White Wax Town Detention Center" would be rather uninteresting.
Players with a wealth of creative ideas naturally didn't forget that they could also borrow some of the most famous names from another world.
However, considering the risk of account deletion, the players ultimately decided to localize the naming process.
While mentioning names from another world might bring a smile to the players' faces, it doesn't elicit any humor from the locals of the World of Disorder, nor does it serve any deterrent purpose.
In the final discussion before the operation began, [ Do Some Farm Work ] really pulled out the biggest stunt he'd ever done since logging in, making players smile knowingly and the local natives shudder.
He looked at his companions, who were struggling to come up with a name, and shared his idea for the prison's name—
" High-Quality Charcoal Processing Plant ".
Why was it named this way?
Because their prisoners were all in a vegetative state.
