The axeman had been fighting on the battlefield for almost 30 hours. A total of 732 Holy Spirits had died under his axe.
He clearly remembered every Holy Spirit he had killed, as well as the number of times he had killed them after they were resurrected.
This was the most basic professional ethics of an axeman. If it wasn't for the fact that an axeman's memory was somewhat fragmented, he should have remembered all the people he had killed since he started his profession. He would even remember the state they were in before they died.
Now, the list of Holy Spirits he had killed had increased to 733!
The axeman took out an alchemy gun from his robe. The gun was filled with mercury bullets, and he aimed it at a Wandering Gunner in the distance. As soon as the Wandering Gunner used his skill, the axeman pulled the trigger and fired the mercury bullets.
The bullets from the alchemy gun scattered into more than 30 fragments. One of the fragments collided with the Wandering Gunner's bullet, and sparks flew in the air. The rest of the fragments all hit the Wandering Gunner.
The mercury bullets didn't do much damage to the Wandering Gunner, but they did freeze his body for a short while.
This momentary stun was fatal. The axeman brandished his axe and cleaved the Ranger player in two.
The axeman knew that killing these Holy Spirits wouldn't leave any blood. After they died, they would turn into a tombstone. The tombstone that the Wandering Gunner had turned into was a pure gold seal-shaped tombstone.
"…" The axeman swore that he wouldn't make his tombstone into the shape of a seal even after he died, let alone gilding it.
However, these Holy Spirits had no respect for death, because they couldn't die.
The axeman had realized this during the 30 hours of battle. No matter how he killed the Holy Spirits, they would resurrect.
If it weren't for the fact that the executioner could absorb energy from every Holy Spirit he killed, he would've been thinking about how to wreak havoc in the next realm.
However, the axeman still chose to fight these Holy Spirits on the battlefield, instead of going to the trial tower to kill the natives.
This was because the energy they absorbed from the Holy Spirit came from the Aquamarine Goddess. The power of the Aquamarine Goddess could help them repair this broken world. If they went to the Trial Tower to plunder things, they could also 'consume' it, but it would take a long time to digest it.
When the executioner turned his attention to another Holy Spirit, he yelled out loud …
"Wait!
I'm here to pledge my loyalty to Queen Mey! "the Holy Spirit yelled.
The axeman immediately stopped swinging his axe. At the same time, he used an alchemy bullet to shoot a Battle Mage who was poking him with a long spear.
"You're here to pledge your loyalty too?" The axeman looked at the Holy Spirit from head to toe. He was a muscular Cleric.
The axeman hated Fallen People, but he liked Clerics quite a lot. On the battlefield, the axeman had a rule, which was not to kill Healers and Healers.
However, if these clerics dared to attack the executioners, the executioners would just let the berserkers go and raise their butcher's knives to kill them instead.
The Healer called Meat Shield had been killed by the axeman once before. The axeman thought the Healer would come to him with hatred.
But why did he suddenly pledge his loyalty to Queen Mey?
However, this Healer was not the first Holy Spirit to come to the axeman and pledge his loyalty to Queen Mey. Ever since the axeman recruited the Berserker and the other Holy Spirits under the Berserker's command, every few minutes, a Holy Spirit would come out and pledge his loyalty to Queen Mey.
However, the axeman was surrounded by players from several guilds. He didn't have much time to chat with the Healer. After being hit by a few ranged attacks, he raised his axe and hacked at other players nearby.
"Brothers nearby!
Can you wait until I'm done with the hidden quest? "
The Hidden Quest window popped up, but the window disappeared as soon as the axeman ran far away. He had no choice but to chase after the strong figure of the axeman.
"What Hidden Quest?" a Dark Spearman wearing a Lego head asked. "Every Shield Has Meat."
"Pledge your loyalty to Queen Mey!
Brother, go check the forum. Someone has posted this quest!
It's related to farming for Queen Mey's affection, "said Meat Shield as he quickly caught up with the axeman.
"Farming for Queen Mey's affection?
Guild leader!
Big news! "
The Dark Spearman was from Night Scamper, which was currently ranked eighth among the Holy Spirits. They were in charge of fighting the axeman together with another guild, Grey Eye Grey.
The guild members were so focused on fighting the axeman that they didn't notice that the axeman had a hidden quest.
"I just found out about this. How about we stop fighting and accept the hidden quest?"
The guild leader of Night Scamper was a Hunter from Moonlight Wheel. He discussed with the guild leader of Grey Eye Grey in the live chat channel and quickly made a decision.
So …
"Wait a minute!"
Moonlight Wheel shouted when the axeman was about to attack the guild leader of Night Scamper.
"What?
You want to be loyal to Queen Mey too? "The axeman stopped his axe and asked.
"Yes!"
"…"
The axeman didn't understand what was going on with these Holy Spirits. Just a moment ago, these Holy Spirits were crazily bombarding him with skills, and he was chasing after them with his axe. Many of the Holy Spirits present were killed by him at least two or three times.
In the eyes of outsiders, this was definitely a deep hatred. But why did they not hate each other after fighting for so long? Why did they decide to join their camp?
They didn't understand …
The axeman also didn't understand that with Moonlight Wheel as the starting point, the players of Night Scamper saw that the axeman had stopped attacking. For a moment, they didn't have to use their skills to attack the axeman anymore. They all surrounded him and decided to accept the hidden quest first.
For a moment, the originally cruel battlefield actually had a … short ceasefire negotiation period.
"You all want to be loyal to Queen Mey?"
The axeman glanced at the players surrounding him. He thought that if he detonated the magic in his body, they would all become tombstones.
"Line up!
Line up!
One at a time!
Even if you want to betray us, you have to follow the basic rules! "
"Line up for f * cking hell!
Aren't you afraid of being killed by the zombie soldiers? This boss might suddenly kill you too!
Sigh!
Is it too late for you to join Queen Mey's personal guards now? "
"…"
The axeman held his axe and looked at the increasing number of players around him. Logically speaking, he should have swung his axe and killed all these Holy Spirits, but the first thing these players said when they saw him was …
"I'm here to pledge my loyalty to Queen Mey!"
"Axeman!
I've decided not to be Hai Lan's Chosen One! "
These Holy Spirits' loyalty to Goddess Hai Lan was a little too low, wasn't it?
In the past, when the axeman was still a believer of Goddess Hai Lan, anyone who dared to say something like "I betray Goddess Hai Lan" would be sent to the guillotine!
"If you want to pledge your loyalty, sure!
But you have to prove your loyalty! "
The axeman shouted. If these Holy Spirits could really join Queen Mey's faction, it would be a great help.
But most of them just came over to shout their loyalty, and then slipped away to do their own things. Some even came over to tease the axeman.
"Brother!
I heard that joining Queen Mey's faction will give you the queen's photobook. Is that true? "
Photobook?
What the hell?
The axeman asked the Holy Spirits what they were fighting for, and most of their answers were about equipment and medals. That was a more normal pursuit.
But what was a photobook?
Was it the name of a magic book?
