"Look, up ahead is the Sick Village, your opportunity has arrived."
Luluwo pointed towards the dim and eerie tunnel ahead with a smile.
The Starfire Knights following him and the ordinary soldiers of the Starfire Church all had expressions that seed to say, "Are you kidding ?"
You call this pitch-black tunnel, made of nurous similar and rickety wooden fras, a "village"?
Although the na Sick Village sounds quite bizarre, as if mysterious people in white coats might rush out and perform martial arts on them at any mont, you can't just label it as such arbitrarily. How could a tunnel be considered a village?
However, reality gave these people a harsh lesson.
As soon as they set foot into the tunnel, the entire world before them was sared with a filter of fecal yellow and dark green mixed together, just looking at it made the entire place feel overwhelmingly stinky.
Not to ntion the cold wind blowing from the depths of the tunnel, instantly assaulting their nostrils with a stench unbearable for re mortals.
The ominous characters [Sick Village] brazenly appeared in front of everyone amidst the fecal filter and the putrid gale.
"Ugh!!!"
Imdiately, those with weaker tolerance began to stagger and vomit.
Though all of them were seasoned soldiers who had been to the battlefield, their ntal and physical resilience should be better, theoretically.
Unfortunately, the stench perating Sick Village wasn't ordinary; it was an enhanced odor with magic added by Gong Qiying.
It's magic, he infused it with magic!
A re whiff was enough to make ordinary people start vomiting and experiencing diarrhea uncontrollably.
"Oh dear, can't handle it already? You're all carrying filter masks in your backpacks, aren't you glad I told you to bring them?"
Luluwo smiled, shaking his head as he took out a filter mask from his bag and put it on.
"You all insisted you wouldn't need the masks before, do you see the point of listening to now?"
"Mm-hmm, ugh..."
The vomiting soldiers eagerly nodded, and even the Starfire Knights who hadn't vomited looked pale, quickly searching for their masks.
However, soone seed careless enough not to bring one, and despair covered their face until a warm mask was thrown over, revealing Tami, the youngest mber of the Skyrim Strategy Group, who tossed his mask over.
"Eh? Is it for ? Don't you need it?" The Starfire Knight was stunned.
"It's fine for a short while, worse cos to worst, we can take turns wearing it," Tami said with a sunny smile, appearing spirited even under the fecal-like filter.
The Starfire Knight was quite touched and quickly bowed deeply before eagerly putting on the mask.
But as he wore the mask, he failed to notice Tami's sunny smile vanish, replaced by an expression of utter despair, muttering to himself:
"Because we've been here once before, we're already sowhat resistant to the sll..."
His whole deanor exuded frustration as he uttered those words.
Now, the Skyrim Strategy Group was about to accompany the Starfire Church's people and beco the first lucky ones to explore the Sick Village!
How did things develop to this point...?
Tami looked at the sky weakly and began to recall the events of recent days.
Initially, when they first joined the rebel army's side, aside from the welcoming Starfire Knights, the other church mbers were still skeptical about their abilities.
After all, Scaroon wasn't very sensitive to outside information due to the war, and it was indeed challenging to have them trust outsiders without any reason.
So, the Skyrim Strategy Group showcased a bit of their capability by completing a flawless run of Undead Town Outside the City without any injuries.
The whole task took two days, with a day and a half spent studying the structure and possible changes of Undead Town and the monsters' abilities, and the remainder of the ti used for traversing the map.
Once they understood Undead Town, they completed the run injury-free within half a day, docunting the whole process.
Such a feat was unprecedented for the rebel army mbers, surprising them imnsely, while for a legitimate strategy group, it was considered basic, although it had to be an advanced group.
Their strength proven, the next issue was proving their "loyalty." How to ensure the Skyrim Strategy Group wouldn't side with the Holy Light Church?
Three guarantees secured trust.
First, none of them had ever been to Scaroon before. With no connections there, relying solely on their own abilities wouldn't allow them to contact the Holy Light Church, let alone traverse a battlefield to defect. Suddenly crossing over could easily mark them as spies.
Second, the Starfire Church vouched for the Skyrim Strategy Group, and a ssage from Bishop Vinsmo, who was far away, confird their credibility.
The third reason... was Luluwo revealing that he was a Soul-sucking Ghost and claiming to be a leading figure among adventurers in the Yanor Kingdom.
With that revelation, everyone felt at ease.
