Chapter 74 Assyria said he had no objections
```
Seden Town is a remote seaside village that has been constantly raided by the Painful Esoteric Sect throughout the years, with scarcely a tenth of its population remaining.
The desolate autumn light covers the broken and ancient streets, where withered leaves rot alongside dead rats in the sewers, and every household's doors are tightly shut.
Theoretically, this town shouldn't have many able-bodied men, nor should it be able to offer much in the way of resources.
Yet, Knight Rosen still managed to assemble a squad of around a hundred men.
With his innate leadership and charisma, along with his status as the head knight of the Church, he delivered an impassioned speech that successfully persuaded the local authorities.
Moreover, he recruited about ten local Second Order saints from the local church.
If Alice's side goes smoothly, they would be able to muster nearly two hundred Second Order saints, plus a hundred civilian soldiers for cover, giving them enough strength to confront the Cultists
Even against that Fourth Order legion commander, they would stand a significant chance of winning.
As for the sacrifice of local soldiers, it was not within the considerations of an Order Knight.
This was just another Nether World, an anomaly of an event,
and it was irrelevant to them.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As long as they could defend the glory of the Order, all would be well.
After training this hastily assembled team and harmonizing for half a month, they would be ready to attack head-on.
Rosen was in an exceptionally good mood today, a perfect and elegant smile constantly on his lips.
That is until he heard the voice of the Celestial Messenger.
[First Kill]
[Serpent of Pain...]
"..."
Rosen's eyes narrowed slightly,
It was a surprise to him that An Su had come to this world.
And he had achieved the first kill... Rosen unconsciously gripped the hilt of his sword, exerting a slight force.
Although he didn't know where they were hiding,
or how they did it.
Still, just killing a Second Order sergeant wasn't enough to make Rosen lose his composure.
As a candidate for Third Order knight, and a new generation of the Order Church, his sole purpose was hunting down the legion commanders of this world.
In this kind of world conflict, driving out the invaders was only the most basic task—to ensure the world wasn't taken.
Task Three: Assassinate the legion commander of the Painful Esoteric Sect.
That was the ultimate mission for this Second Order world—though no saint had ever accomplished it.
After all, to defeat a Fourth Order enemy in a Second Order world was nothing short of a fantasy.
But Rosen was confident he could do it, firmly believing that he would accomplish this feat,
by relying on the trust and friendship between him and his comrades,
they would surely be able to win back the approval of the god of Order.
An Su was of no concern.
He would surely crush the Cultists!
--
"Order's starlight."
"Lay down the law."
It was one o'clock in the afternoon, the time for fifteen minutes of free activity each day.
An Su wore a calm smile on his lips, it was time for the daily routine tasks again. He, Lister, and Arthur quickly resolved their personal matters, then went straight to laying down the law, an invisible code instantly enveloping the entire washroom.
"Urinating or defecating anywhere in this area is forbidden." Enjoy new stories from empire
As a standard-bearer of modern civilization, An Su naturally could not tolerate people urinating or defecating anywhere in public areas. He was going to enforce strict supervision over the Cultists, correcting their improper behaviors.
Garbage cans must not contain garbage, there shouldn't be people on the beds, no water in the basins, and naturally, urinating or defecating anywhere in the washroom was not allowed—this was the basic etiquette of a student in the new century, and these barbarians from another world had much to learn.
With the law laid down, a chorus of groans rose throughout the washroom.
More agonizing than constipation was,
```
Two days of constipation in a row!
Under the relentless pressure of non-stop rigorous study, their spirits were already teetering on the edge, and now they had to endure such excruciating issues; many Cultists were on the verge of madness.
The worst part wasn't the constipation, but that moment during the process when the inspiration suddenly vanished.
It was said that Assyria.Xius just committed suicide this morning because of constipation.
When An Su stepped out of the door with a fresh and clear face, he was met with one deeply aggrieved expression after another.
What was rather interesting was that,
some Cultists, with faces full of discomfort, left the sanitation facilities and continued walking,
once they gradually stepped outside the range covered by the radiant Starlight of Order, they would suddenly feel a tumultuous stirring in their stomachs, sensing an explosion of inspiration and would hurry back at a hundred-meter sprint's speed,
but the moment they pushed the door open again, that spark of inspiration would fade away as quickly as a receding tide, leaving behind nothing but an infinite emptiness and loneliness.
This bizarre cessation was driving them insane!
Was there something wrong with them, or was the problem with this bathroom?
Observing their gradually contorting faces due to agony, An Su found it quite amusing.
His fresh and clean smile contrasted sharply with the Cultists around him.
He used the Holy Relic "Goddess's Amulet," which added one more use to the Starlight of Order.
There would be another opening tonight; let's continue with the daily tasks.
In the following days, An Su's life was quite orderly.
He did morning exercises at dawn, studied the theoretical knowledge of the Painful Esoteric Sect during the day, and engaged in combat training in the afternoon and evening,
these intense learning activities benefited An Su greatly.
He first learned an initial stage magic spell of the Painful Esoteric Sect,
[Shadow of Blood]
[Auxiliary Magic]
[Magic Power cost: 2 (originally 4)]
[It can temporarily transfer wounds to one's own shadow for ten minutes; if the enemy who caused the injury dies during that time, the wounds can be transferred a second time onto the enemy's corpse]
Then, under the instructor's guidance, he learned an initial stage Battle Ash.
[Blood Flow]
[Auxiliary Battle Ash]
[Combat Technique point cost: 1]
[It can add a bleeding effect to a certain attack, causing the targeted part to bleed uncontrollably for ten minutes]
Both were very practical skills.
Besides, his daily activities consisted of preventing Cultists from relieving themselves just anywhere, once in the morning and once in the evening,
Visible to the naked eye,
after several days of torment, the complexions of the vast majority of Cultists were terribly miserable.
They were now certain there was something wrong with this bathroom!
Someone was messing with it!
Also, through the deliberate distortions and instigations of a few paragons of civilization, a religious myth emerged about 'the Snake in the Latrine Pit,' which rapidly spread among the newcomers—of course, for the time being, only some of the newcomers believed in it.
This bathroom was cursed.
Not long ago, a senior student named 'Assyria.Xius' died in the bathroom due to years of painful constipation. He turned into a serpentine ghost lurking in the pit, his icy and malicious eyes fixedly staring upwards.
Every day at noon and midnight, the troubled spirit cursed every decent and good-natured Cultist equally, subjecting them to agonizing suffering to satiate his malevolent and twisted soul.
In an extraordinary world, such a scenario is quite plausible.
So to say, all these misfortunes were caused by that guy named Assyria.Xius!
It had nothing to do with the model citizen An Su.
Anyway, Assyria had no complaints.
Thanks to relentless promotion by his Esoteric brother-in-arms, Sergeant Sharp, Assyria's reputation posthumously grew ever more resounding, winning him fame both in life and in death.
Surely the real him, far away in the world of reality, would feel comforted and proud of this fact.
