Chapter 273 Out of Control Crowd
A week later, the human trafficking organization in this town was eradicated, and only a few senior officials got wind of it and fled.
It is worth mentioning that the rich businessman who bought the little girl also died. After all, the entire organization was destroyed because of him. After buying the little girl, he was eager to go home and enjoy her, so he chose to walk on the main road in the center of the city, which is why he was hit by the Paladin.
After struggling for a long time, the pastor decided to tell the little girl about the rich businessman's death. After all, she was worried that the little girl would worry that the rich businessman would retaliate against her.
The little girl has been living a very comfortable life in the church these days. She is not in danger, has enough food, and can take a bath at any time. The best thing is that many people in the church smile at her.
The smiles in the village made the little girl feel disgusted and scared.
But the smiles in the church made the little girl feel warm and happy.
The little girl couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so she did some things in the church these days. This made the church members like this cute and well-behaved child even more.
Just when the little girl thought that she might spend her whole life in such happiness, disaster struck her again.
The fleeing senior officials saw the encirclement getting smaller and smaller, so they tried to make the monsters in the forest go crazy.
The crazy monsters were rampaging in the forest, and the first to bear the brunt were these human traffickers. But most of them still refused to admit their guilt, clamoring for the church members and those guards to be buried with them.
The traffickers were dead, but the crazy monsters were rampant in the forest. Let's not talk about the cities in other directions. The city where the little girl was was the closest to the monsters. After all, the teleportation array could not be used, and the traffickers could not walk far.
The monsters attacked the town like crazy, and everyone in the town was terrified. The guards outside the city joined forces with the members of the church to retreat step by step in the beast tide. If they walked too slowly, the front row would not be able to hold on. If they walked too fast, the formation would be broken and everyone would die.
In the city, both the church and the city lord were sending letters as quickly as possible, requesting support.
However, in order to prevent the human traffickers from escaping, the teleportation array was restricted to a one-way direction, meaning people can only come but not leave.
It would probably take at least half an hour to restart now. After all, to reconnect the transmission, the two sides need to dock again.
If someone on the other side knew about the situation and took the initiative to connect, the speed would be much faster. However, this situation was sudden and no one knew about it, so the only way to connect was by the mages left behind in the town, which would take longer.
It takes half an hour to connect to the nearest town. If it is far away, it will take more time.
The monsters entered, but the guards and church members were still struggling to survive in the tide of beasts not far away.
The town at this time was not completely without any defensive capabilities, but it was almost there.
The remaining priests of the church went around town as far as they could to calm the crowds, but to little avail.
That’s right. After all, the disaster is right under our noses. No matter how much comfort we give, we can’t make it go away.
And when people are about to die, there will always be some who can't bear it and release their negative emotions.
“Haha… Ahahahahaha… We’re dead, we’re all going to die!! Ahahahahaha!”
Some people are crazy.
"Damn it, I'm almost dead, why am I still serving others as a slave? In this last moment, I'm going to take back these decades of my life!!"
Some people punched others in anger.
"Please calm down! Please trust the guards, trust the church! We will be fine!"
"Nothing? You're just talking nonsense here! If you have the ability, go stop the monster!"
"That's right! You're wearing a church uniform, but you're just here talking to us!"
"There's no such thing as you in the church! You're a fake!"
Some people turned kindness into hatred, from suspicion to questioning and finally venting. When the crowd dispersed, only a body in church uniform was lying on the ground.
……
The little girl stood on the top of the church because that was what the pastor said. If she said that, the monster might not come up and she could survive.
"how about you?"
The little girl grabbed the pastor's hand and asked. Hearing this, the pastor smiled gently and rubbed the little girl's head.
"Me, I want to be a hero."
The pastor left, and the little girl stood on the top of the church. But this also made her see the ugliest side of human nature.
Clearly, when the guards and church support arrived a few days ago, these people welcomed them with joy and even cursed the human traffickers.
But now that death is imminent, they curse the guards and the church, saying that if they hadn't insisted on arresting people, perhaps the traffickers wouldn't have attracted monsters and there wouldn't have been the current disaster.
As the conversation progressed, someone broke the news that the siege was caused by a little girl, which made the crowd even more angry.
The crowd, already blinded by rage, suddenly came up with the idea that they could survive by handing over the little girl.
Undoubtedly, this idea was foolish and unreasonable, but it became the hope of the people at that time.
The crowd walked towards the church, and the little girl curled up on the top of the church, not daring to move.
The monsters moved in, and the remaining guards were unable to harm them, and the city walls were unable to hold them back for long.
In a few minutes, the monsters would rush in, and everyone in the town would die.
Is this the end of it?
A ray of holy light shone from afar, first covering the guards and church members who were struggling to survive the beast tide, restoring them and ensuring their safety.
Then another holy light enveloped the town, and everyone in the town felt completely relaxed. The monsters were also unable to approach because of this holy light.
The sky is bright, bright because of one person.
The man landed on the city wall and killed all the monsters in front of him with a wave of his hand. The holy light enveloped the monsters in the distance, making them wake up and flee back to the forest in panic.
The guards who were fighting against the human traffickers outside the city expressed their gratitude to the visitors, while the church members saluted and greeted them respectfully.
Although the people in the town have become much more sober, the traces of chaos cannot be concealed.
The man turned into a ray of light and in a flash he reached the top of the church and looked into the eyes of the little girl.
It was at this moment that the little girl saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of her.
Her fair skin and nearly perfect face made her look so different. Especially the nobility and holiness she exuded made people want to worship her.
She was dressed in a golden long dress from head to toe, which was sparkling with brilliant light. The purple gold crown on her head was even more dazzling under the sunlight. She held in her hand a scepter that was nearly two meters long and inlaid with several gems.
