707 Chapter 449: Tower Clan Blessed by the Will of the World [2/2]
Richard had all heard about it from the players.
He still has to verify the authenticity of the information, although the players massively gave him. After all, a group of prisoners knew sparingly.
A piece of information astray in some maps could cause the situation to collapse.
Richard’s words carried considerable weight with Lolita’s statue in his hand and the powerful troop outside the village.
Popov momentarily pondered and said slowly, “This is an old grudge. Lord Richard, please follow me.”
The patriarch turned around and walked towards the other side of the village.
Richard followed with a calm expression. He left Alves to guard the place.
Popov had sensed all of this from their first meet. It had high regard for Richard.
‘This human lord is brave.’
‘Bang! Bang!’
The earth shook. Richard followed Popov through rows of vast houses and arrived before an ancient building.
Ten giant stone pillars supported the eaves. One has carved complicated patterns on them. Time has left clear traces.
It gave off the feeling of a religious shrine.
They stepped inside and saw stone statues of the clan members stood both sides. A vast long table was at the center. Twelve vast stone chairs beside it were as tall as two or three people.
Popov walked straight to the main seat. Its one hand pressed on the giant stone chair, and its eyes looked at the stone statue beside it.
“These are the heroes of the Tower race. They died in the war against the evil goddess invasion.”
Richard looked at the crudely made statues, but they were full of vigor and vitality, and he couldn’t help but fall silent.
The heroes who protected their race all had a touching and heroic elegy.
“But we can’t hold on much longer…”
Popov’s eyes were dull.
“The plane power is resisting the corrosion of the abyss, but it has been on the verge of exhaustion for countless years.
“The spiders would devour our last soil once we lost the protection of the plane power. That is the only consequence we expect.
“Lolita would pull this plane into the abyss… We would become a part of that extremely sinful place.”
“However, we no longer can organize a counterattack. A level 19 hero protected each spider church. The spider temple at the center bore transcendents!”
Indescribable despair engulfed its tone.
Popov grew increasingly weaker as it watched the evil spiders slaughter the Tower race swiftly, one after another.
The patriarch felt like thousands of nails pierced its heart in profound pain.
In this world, the weak could only have their fates controlled by others.
The Tower race was the weak one before the evil eyes of spider goddess Lolita.
Popov forcefully suppressed the emotions in its heart. It fathomlessly spoke after a few breaths.
“Lord Richard, the key lies in the spider temple if we want to eliminate those damn spiders.
“Lolita used these churches to ruin the entire plane.
“These evil buildings are connected to the nodes of the plane. The spider temple is above the dimension stone.
“We can only destroy all the evil buildings if we want the entire plane to regain vitality.”
Richard’s eyes flickered.
‘Destroy all the buildings?
‘That is not a simple matter.’
Thoughts spun in his mind, and he spoke slowly.
“Patriarch Popov, is the strength of the twelve spider churches the same? How many troops does the spider temple have?
“I need more information.”
“The spider temple sends all those guards to the churches. Their strength is almost the same.”
Popov didn’t hide anything and told him everything it knew.
“However, there are still three mobile units. These mobile units will immediately attack to protect the temple… No one could escape the spiders’ pursuit with their webs everywhere.
“I think the spiders are already on their way to the Holy Land.”
Popov momentarily paused to give Richard a few seconds to digest its words before it continued.
“The power of the spider temple in the central area is unpredictable. According to the legend of the Tower race, the goddess directly connected the spider temple to the 500th level of the bottomless abyss, the territory of the spider goddess Lolita. Every spider comes from the abyss.”
“However, our ancestors discovered a crucial piece of information… The defeat of the 12 spider churches would restrict the space channel of the spider temple. That would prevent the enemy’s reinforcements from a large-scale attack.”
Key mission information.
Richard’s eyes lit up.
This Tower clan was indeed supremely vital.
It would be much more arduous to topple the spider temple down if they did not come here and go directly to the spider temple.
“Do you know anything about that transcendent?”
“Wax Demon.
“Lolita created the evil creature. Its body could melt like a candle, and the physical and magical damage it could cause was almost negligible.
“No one knows how to slay that monster… The hero of the Tower race had sacrificed countless people but still could not find a solution.”
Intense anger and helplessness engulfed Popov’s tone.
“That transcendent had murdered all of the Tower race’s dreams.
“Countless heroes had been sacrificed at the hands of the enemy.
“How could I tolerate this?”
Popov would not hesitate to drag the enemy to hell with it, even if it would trade its life. If only that is possible.
Richard frowned.
“Wax demon?”
“In the Mythical Teleportation of the “Shining Era,” this soldier had accompanied Lolita in its all-encompassing conquest and made a name for itself.
Richard pondered and solemnly said, “Patriarch Popov, can you destroy the temple if I stall that wax demon?”
He wanted to see what role the Tower race played in this mission. He also wanted to see how powerful the Tower race was.
It was supremely vital for the next mission.
Popov fell silent.
It turned to look at the rough stone statues beside it afterward.
“They are our helpers.
“As long as I have enough power to drive them, I can resurrect their souls and let the heroes of the Tower race fight again.”
“Resurrection… What do you need?”
“Tons of undead energy.”
Richard felt relieved.
As expected, the system would not give useless things.
