Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 660: Chapter 280: Seven Temples Conquered in Succession (Part 2)

The young leader was filled with anger.

“I don’t care who you are or what your purpose is, Bluestone Village does not welcome you. Please leave by tomorrow morning!”

Lear looked at the young face, with a slight raise of his eyebrow.

Fear, dread, worry… various emotions could be sensed from him.

The possessed Dark Night Elf spoke slowly.

“May I ask who you are…”

“The village chief of Bluestone Village—Drew!”

“Lord Drew, I sense your concern, may I ask, what are you worried about?”

The voice was calm, with not much fluctuation, but the deep gaze gave these ten or so people a tremendous sense of pressure.

Even though his real body wasn’t there, the possessed Dark Night Hunter was still a fierce Level 15 unit.

How could ordinary Ancient Humans compare?

Drew’s gaze hardened, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

“The villagers of Bluestone Village will never give up our land and wealth!”

“Nor will we surrender the Immortal Temple!”

“Your tricks will be in vain!”

Lear chuckled.

“Clearly, my lord, you’ve heard some rumors, haven’t you?”

“The wealth of the Swamp Sect surpasses your wildest imagination.”

“You don’t need to give up land, nor do you need to give up the temple…”

“No matter what, I will not allow this to happen!”

Drew’s voice was firm as he grew increasingly insecure, as if leaving no room for negotiation.

To bolster his courage with his words.

Lear calmly looked at him and the dozen or so burly men behind him.

“Is this decision really yours to make?”

He waved his hand.

Immediately, two squads of Defender Knights appeared, who after several days of training, had all advanced to Level 7 under his guidance.

Seeing the big and tall Defender Knights in their Alchemy-Activated Armor, their expressions changed instantly.

“You, what do you intend to do?”

“Blasphemers will face the punishment of the Sect Knights.”

“We are not blasphemers!!”

Drew’s face turned pale; such a charge was unbearable for anyone!

Katana’s village truly housed angels!

Gods were not fake.

They were merely concerned their village would vanish due to the arrival of the Swamp Sect, not trying to oppose the Swamp Sect.

Lear spoke softly.

“The Swamp Sect does not force anyone to believe, nor has it ever harmed ordinary people, but we absolutely will not tolerate defamation of the sect.”

“Now, the Defender Knights will take you to live in Katana for 3 days, after which, I will bring you back.”

He waved his hand as he spoke.

The Sect Knights immediately rushed forward and took control over them.

Some tried to resist, but they were like chicks in front of a tiger, completely unable to stop them.

Interestingly, if outsiders were to attack Ancient Humans, it would trigger the temple’s defense mechanism.

However, if their own kind were to do these things, it would have no effect.

This was one of the reasons the sect knight Order was formed.

Without any chance to struggle, they were taken away.

Drew’s heart sank to the bottom, wishing to resist but the Sect Knights’ grip was as firm and powerful as steel.

They couldn’t budge it an inch.

In the end, the Sect Knights, annoyed by their noise, simply knocked them unconscious and then took them to Katana.

When Drew regained consciousness, he found himself in a room.

His heart was heavy, feeling as if he had been imprisoned in a dungeon, with torture awaiting next.

To commit blasphemy was a serious crime!

If the other party sought such an excuse, they certainly wouldn’t hold back.

But to their surprise, the Sect Knights did not impose any torture, they simply let them go.

Moreover, they straightforwardly said,

“Bringing you to the Holy City was not to imprison you, but to let you personally experience life and change here.”

“In three days, you can return to the village on your own. These days, you are free to do anything except leave Katana.”

With that, they left.

The ten or so people exchanged glances, finally all looked towards the young village chief.

Drew took a deep breath.

“Let’s go, I want to see what this place is truly like!”

Taking the lead, he walked out of the room, and his view suddenly expanded.

The first thing he saw was the 40-meter-high vine wall outside Katana, already enclosing seven to eight-tenths of the area.

None of the structures in front could block the towering wall.

As far as the eye could see, everything was safely within.

An intense visual impact was given to all who looked.

Drew’s heart quivered, standing in a daze for a long time before coming back to his senses.

He looked at his companions, finding each of them also standing still, evidently not expecting Katana’s walls to be so grand and imposing.

He waved his hand and woke his companions, continuing to explore inside.

Katana was filled with construction sites and bustling crowds, a lively scene.

Two thousand believers made it appear quite bustling.

Not long after, he saw a group of newcomers moving their entire families into Katana.

Seeing this scene, his heart felt complex, thinking about those who gave up their land and wealth… was it really worth it?

While in doubt, he saw the crowd being led to a registration area beside them.

The belongings they carried were all submitted.

He sighed internally, confirming that the rumors were true.

But then, to his slight bewilderment, the registrars began handing out bags of Gold Coins to those who turned in their belongings.

And if Gold Coins were not needed, they could exchange for goods of equivalent value.

Everyone was also assigned their own house.

Drew could hardly believe it, was this real?

Following the crowd to take a look, hundreds of residential buildings towering around came into view.
