Chapter 517

At the same time, Alkors also led his people into this foggy area.

After the first crusade failed, the fog gradually spread, and the King of Darkspirits and the Darkspirits under its command became stronger and stronger.

Some people even shouted for the destruction of humanity, saying that becoming an Darkspirit was the only way out for the world.

Those people even listed a lot of benefits of being an Darkspirit.

First of all, compared to most ordinary humans, all Darkspirits had special abilities.

Secondly, Darkspirits did not need to eat. Although many people refuted the rumor that Darkspirits needed to suck human life to survive, but just like some Elves, the moon in foreign countries was round, and there were a lot of people who did not want to starve.

After that, those people also listed a lot of benefits of being an Darkspirit, but never mentioned the weaknesses of Darkspirits. Even if they did, they would pretend to be objective and turn the weaknesses into acceptable minor problems.

In short, now that the wind of Haling was prevalent on the continent, many people who thought they were smart had turned to the Darkspirits, especially after a few specially selected examples appeared. Even if several kingdoms and nobles kept banning them, there were still many people who turned to the Darkspirits.

Those few examples were actually some well-known tragic characters in the city. After turning to the Darkspirits, they were set as examples. After returning to the city, they would take revenge on their enemies and punish the aristocrats who had bullied them.

In fact, there were only a few examples.

It was not impossible to turn a human into an Darkspirit, but if your soul was not strong enough, becoming an Darkspirit could turn you into an irrational fool.

If a loser did not change himself, he would always be a loser no matter where he went.

Even if a very few people succeeded because of luck, if they did not seize this opportunity to change themselves, then when luck no longer favored them, it was only a matter of time before they failed again.

But because of the survivor bias, most people could only see those who succeeded, so in their perception, becoming an Darkspirit was equivalent to success.

Coupled with the hatred of the rulers and the spread of various conspiracies, coupled with the bad reputation of the aristocrats, the ban they issued was not very effective.

Some smart people could naturally see the unreliability of turning to the Darkspirits, and some cowards would not dare to become an Darkspirit even if there was no ban. Only those who were pretentious and brainless would not be able to see the situation clearly and turn to the Darkspirits.

There didn't seem to be many of such people, but the number of people who joined the Evil Spirits was much higher than expected.

In the modern world, where education was more civilized, even some schools with obvious logical loopholes would be able to recruit quite a number of people, not to mention the Flame World of the Middle Ages.

Had it not been for the speed of information transmission, there would have been more people joining the dark spirits.

"Don't you understand? Nowadays, the more powerful ones among the Evil Spirits are all famous ones who have been awakened from history. As for those who surrendered to the past, except for a very small number, which one of them has truly become powerful? "Alkors said with a wry smile while riding his horse.

A thousand years ago, people were this stupid, and a thousand years later, they were still the same. Nothing seemed to have changed.

They received a tip-off that a large group of people had broken through the blockade around the fog and were trying to make contact with the Evil Spirits in the fog.

"No, there are still some smart people among them." As Alkors' assistant, he was a well-trained Grandmaster. He had a particularly thorough understanding of human nature, so he emphasized the word 'smart' in his words.

"They know that if they go to the Evil Spirits alone, they won't be valued. Most of the Evil Spirits don't care about humans either, but bringing hundreds of humans with them as merits will make them look up to them."

"Those few smart people have seen through things clearly, but for the sake of their own success, they have tricked most of the people to become their stepping stones. These kind of smart people with no bottom line are the most terrifying." The Grandmaster said with a heavy tone.

Now that things had come to this, the fog was getting more and more dangerous. Although there weren't many Evil Spirits in the shallow layer of the fog in these areas, the Evil Spirit Crusade was severely understaffed because the King of Evil Spirits could descend onto other Evil Spirits.

This understaffed referred to the experts. It wasn't difficult for humans with sufficient military strength to clear an area of the fog, but the difficult part was how to deal with the King of Evil Spirits that descended through the Evil Spirits.

Therefore, every time the fog was cleared, at least five top-notch Grandmasters of Combat were needed, or Nala would personally oversee it. Otherwise, if a large army entered without any experts to hold the line, the only result would be the King of Evil Spirits descending and wiping out these people with its own strength, adding to the fog.

Therefore, against this fog, the various kingdoms and nobles could only choose to seal off the area of the fog, and at the same time send people for small-scale rescue. However, this so-called small-scale rescue was actually not very reliable.

After all, once the fog appeared, many people would die on the spot. Those who could escape would mostly escape on their own, and those who couldn't, what was the point of rescuing them?

Therefore, rescuing actually depended on the quality of the individual. Unfortunately for the experts around Leicester City, unless they offered some benefits, most of them wouldn't have the leisure to risk their lives to save those peasants.

Back then, old Frye's request for help had also failed, and that was why he met Haarlem who had split up to collect information about the ruins.

The information about the Reya ruins under Leicester City wasn't that secretive, and one could ask the local elders. After all, this city had only been built for a hundred years, and it could be said that Frye had tricked Haarlem with that piece of information on the streets. His only advantage was that he promised to personally lead the way, and that he had items from the ruins on him, which might be helpful in exploring the ruins.

"I've made it, I'm making contact!" After Alkors' Kokyu-ho gradually transformed into the Bone Forging Method, his strength was rapidly increasing. Similarly, under the threat of the Evil Spirits, many top-notch Grandmasters of Combat could vaguely feel that the barrier of their strength was loosening.

Alkors, the Grandmaster, and a few other experts who followed immediately leapt up, abandoned their warhorses, and ran towards the target location with their own speed.

At the edge of the fog, hundreds of people could be seen gathered there. Their expressions were excited, and their faces were abnormally flushed, as if success and recognition were right in front of them. Their eyes were burning as they looked at the few figures that appeared from the fog.

And as the representative of the hundreds of people, a man with squinted eyes and an extremely fake smile was discussing something with the Evil Spirits.

"Ah, Lord Evil Spirit, they've caught up, and my plan should be able to be implemented." The man's tone was extremely gentle, and gave people a comfortable feeling, but Salajia, who had turned into a Evil Spirit, looked at him with a disdainful gaze.

Because the man had brought these people to surrender, but was not in a hurry to convert. Instead, he quietly proposed a plan to incite the emotions of these hundreds of people, and make them risk their lives to attack the pursuers. After that, he would use these people as sacrifices to further expand the fog in Leicester City.
