Chapter 108

There was a great deal of noise in the temporary residence of the free people, and more than 3000 people had gathered in just one month. People have been tortured by the recent heavy rain. During the interval when the rain stopped, everyone got out of the cramped shacks, moved their stiff bodies and twisted their wet clothes.

Green stood on a fast rock and looked at the chaotic crowd below. His face was as gloomy as a dark cloud in the sky. Over the past few days, free people have been pouring into the camp, two or three hundred at a time. It is obvious that someone is organizing it secretly. Green inquired a little. These people were all free people brought from Viscount Buryat. Green would never have believed it if Viscount Buryat had not played tricks behind his back.

Green was worried about the task assigned by count York. Not only the mountain people were trying to control here, but even the Viscount Buryat was not kind.

"I can only go one step at a time." Green thought with a sad face that he had arranged for one of his men to report back to Heibao town. If Viscount Buryat did plot against Baron Victor, his hands would not be able to fight him.

Green jumped off the stone and went to Claude. He had made up his mind that the paladin could not leave until the support arrived. Now that Viscount Buryat has taken action, only the church can frighten his people. Now it's time to delay. Otherwise, these free people must be controlled by the Viscount's people.

"Bang"

Claude nailed a stake deep into the ground. He was strengthening a shack. Most of the shacks could not withstand the scouring of the rainstorm and had collapsed.

Claude was so busy that he was ready to lead the team back, but the rainstorm for several days interrupted his trip. Claude and his team members had to stay here to organize disaster relief and maintain order. Fortunately, the Lords here continued to deliver some supplies, so that these free people could breathe.

Baron Victor's move moved Claude. He now knew that Baron was not a rich Lord. These supplies and food were a great burden for Baron victor. At the same time, Claude was ashamed of his recklessness. So many free people gathered here mostly because they believed in themselves as paladins. As Green said, if you don't go by yourself, more people will come here. But before leaving, Claude wanted to do more for these people. He knew that even if he withdrew, the people in the camp would not disperse immediately.

Claude straightened up and moved his weak muscles and bones. He didn't sleep well these days. Even the paladin couldn't bear the continuous hard work.

"Benson, take a break." Claude saw a middle-aged man still repairing the shed. He couldn't help shouting hello. The man named Benson is the leader of the mountain people who recently joined the camp and a devout believer. It was with his cooperation that Claude made up for the shortage of manpower. In the face of this rainstorm, Benson and his men made great efforts, which also won the respect of the paladin.

"Yes." Benson dropped his hammer and gave a long sigh. When pressure is high, Benson will keep working. This is his habit. Many simple farmers also have this habit.

Benson is under great pressure now. Nelson suddenly leads the team away and tells Benson that a large number of monsters have come to the territory. Hearing the news, Benson was eager to leave. If there was anything more frightening to farmers than war, it was groups of monsters. Benson kept telling himself that he is no longer a farmer. He is the confidant of Lord victor and the high-level of the territory. He must not panic like an ordinary farmer. His cowardly nature and his own responsibilities made Benson worry about gain and loss, unable to make a decision, and he could only relieve the pressure by working hard.

"Benson, you don't look very well. Are you sick? Go and have a bowl of digen soup."

Benson's pale face worried Claude a little. Unfortunately, the paladin could not use magic on others. In this case, even if the paladin was ill, he could only drink some herbal soup.

"I'm fine." Benson smiled reluctantly at Claude, his eyes wandering. He didn't know whether to tell the paladin the news.

Claude was about to persuade Benson again when green came over.

"Hey, Claude, Benson." Green racked his brains while talking to the two, figuring out how to persuade the Paladin to stay longer.

"Green!" Claude smiled and said that green and he have had a lot of friendship since this time. The green Paladin certainly wouldn't know that green was trying to please him.

Benson nodded his head and said hello. He's not in the mood to talk to green now.

"Well, the weather is good." Green was depressed to find that he couldn't find a suitable reason to leave the paladin, so he had to say ha ha.

Claude looked up at the cloudy sky and was worried. It seemed that Benson was not alone in the storm.

White looked at green, Claude, and Benson from a distance and curled his lips in disdain.

"Sir, Benson and green seem to have a good relationship with the paladin." Fulin walked up to white and whispered, "I'm worried that there are paladins supporting them."

"Worry a fart." White interrupted his men rudely.

"Here, the free people in our territory account for more than half, and there are dozens of our people. Don't say that the paladins are leaving, what can they do if they don't go? We encourage a little, at least more than half of the people will follow us. Can the paladins stop us!"

White is not only the leader of viscount Buryat, but also a trainee knight. He is loyal to the Viscount's brother, Knight Austin. This time, it was at Austin's command that white condescended to join the free people's settlement point and intended to organize the free people to attack victor.

As Austin's confidant, white knows the inside story. A great man promised to get a baron collar as long as Lord Austin brought down Baron victor. If this thing is done, white's power will rise. White knew that the impact on Victor would cause a lot of casualties to the free people, and most of them were born and bred in Buryat territory. However, compared with the interests behind it, Austin didn't care about sacrificing some free people who could only dream all day, let alone white.

Green and Benson's various moves to win people's hearts fall into white's eyes. In his opinion, green is an ambitious free people, and Benson is the back hand arranged by Baron Victor, which can be seen from Benson with dozens of men.

The two men jumped up and down, which made white laugh. In order to ensure the success of this event, Austin secretly encouraged many free people to take a chance in Victor, and mixed a large number of people with refugees. In fact, white has taken control of the camp. If it hadn't been for Claude's background, white would have started to act. He didn't want to stay in this dirty free residence for a moment. However, at the thought of Lord Austin's entrustment, white can only bear it silently.

While several people were thinking, more than 300 villagers of brick kiln village finally arrived here. So many people came at once, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Dean!"

Benson saw Dean's face coming with the leader in a panic. He couldn't afford to disguise any more. He rushed directly to Dean and asked, "are there really many monsters in the territory?"

"Benson? Why are you here? Haven't you been driven out of your territory by adults?" Cried Dean in surprise.

"You know what? We left the camp on purpose." Dean's surprised appearance made Benson very proud, and the depression of being driven out of the hill camp was swept away. But at the thought of the threat of monsters, the feeling of elation faded again.

"Don't worry about me first. Tell me if the monster is true?"

"I don't know! We got a summons from Lord victor and came here." Although he was not sure whether what Benson said was true or false, he was an old acquaintance after all. Dean described the matter to Benson in detail.

"What the hell is going on?" Claude came up with a circle of people and asked seriously, "Benson, who the hell are you?"

Benson smiled bitterly and explained, "Lord Claude, I heard you're going back to black fort. In order to prevent accidents, Lord Victor sent me to secretly maintain the order of the free people. You know, we can't come out in public, otherwise more free people will come."

"Now, I have received news that there are many unknown monsters in the territory. Captain Nelson has led the team back to support."

Claude is not as stunned as he was at the beginning. He can understand Benson's practice of hiding his identity, but he cares most about the monster.

"Monsters? Besiege Baron Victor? Are those ferocious wolves?"

Dean said heavily, "I don't know what kind of monster it is. I think we should be ready to retreat."

Claude hesitated. As a paladin, it is their duty to destroy monsters and protect the people. Now monsters besiege Baron victor. He should lead a team to support, but what about so many ordinary people here? Claude had no choice whether to support the Lord or take people to retreat first.

White saw this scene and screamed for no second. He thought it was obviously a play played by Baron Victor, in order to scare away all the free people. White made a gesture to his men and shouted, "you are all liars! You just don't want us to join the Baron's work point system!"

White's sudden attack stunned everyone. Before Benson could react, white shouted again: "listen! Lord Victor gave us food, Lord Victor sent us coir raincoats and carriages, and Lord Victor is a kind Lord!"

"Now, Lord Victor wants to recruit people. But some people don't want us to join the work point system! They want to monopolize the land here!"

Under white's hint, Austin's hands began to make a noise.

"They must be lying to us! If there are monsters besieging the Baron, why don't they help the Baron stick to the castle!"

"We want to join the work point system!"

"Originally, they were all free people like us. Why didn't they let us become vassals!"

At the instigation of these people, the feelings of the free people were stirred up. They were short of food and clothing, and the rainstorm made them suffer. The threat of the fierce wolf made them panic. After running so far and suffering so much, why couldn't they join the work point system? Their unwillingness instantly turned into anger. They shouted and scolded. The huge sound quickly infected everyone, and the whole temporary residence was out of control.

Claude was caught off guard by the chaotic scene. He shouted at white, "are you crazy?"

Whiteley ignored the paladin. He wanted to take people directly to victor! "We have so many people, what are some fierce wolves? We rush in! We want to join the work point system!"

"Let's rush in!"

"Go together, the fierce wolf dare not appear!"

"We want to be vassals!"

Dozens of his men responded to White's call and constantly agitated the surrounding crowd

The scene was completely out of control, and Claude's face changed greatly. At this time, a series of hurried hoofs came. After a while, more than a dozen cavalry arrived here, led by Lilia.

Glancing coldly at the tumultuous crowd, Lilia shouted to Dean and Benson, "take our people to Heibao town. The monster has captured the hill camp! Go now!"

Lilia turned her horse and disappeared surrounded by a dozen cavalry. Benson and Dean dared not hesitate and immediately urged their men to form a team to move towards Heibao town.

Watching Victor's leader leave the station decisively, Claude has fully believed that there are unknown monsters in this territory. He rushed to the front of the crowd and shouted, "listen to me! Victor's leader must have monsters. Don't move forward!"

Claude had a high reputation among these refugees, and the villagers led by Victor did not hesitate to go north. The free people began to doubt the monster. White sneered: "they really acted like that! If Lord Victor led the team to evacuate, we would believe it! Even if there are monsters, what are so many of us afraid of? We worked hard to come here just to join Victor? Let's go! Let's see Lord victor!"

White held his head high and took the lead to walk outside the station. Austin's men also pushed and encouraged in the crowd. In this way, thousands of free people rushed forward with white, and lost their reason like a stupid sheep. Even if there was a vast abyss ahead, they would jump down with the sheep.

Claude stamped angrily, greeted the other paladins, and followed the crowd. In any case, the paladin cannot let the people face the danger and do nothing.

"Why don't you go?" Claude asked green faintly.

"I want to see the monster." Green said with a smile.

Claude did not speak, but nodded gently. The paladin was not a real fool. There was no need to investigate Green's identity at this time.

The mighty team continued to move forward for some time. Suddenly, it was like the water met the dam and separated to the left and right. The people behind don't know what happened, while the people in front are like falling into an ice cave. A small group of half man and half ant monsters met them.

White looked at some strange ant people and took a breath of air conditioning. He didn't expect that there were monsters here. When these scattered ant people met so many creatures, they approached the crowd by instinct, and made a tentative neighing, facing white at the front of the crowd.

The shrill shriek and ferocious appearance of the ant man startled white, who was the first to bear the brunt. If he wanted to feel a dagger from his arms, he threw it out directly. In a flash of light, an ant man's head was shot through in an instant. The other ants immediately screamed excitedly and rushed at white.

"Throw me the sword!"

White kicked an ant man out with one foot, took over the long sword thrown under his hand, sprinkled the silver sword light into a fan, cut the two ant people directly, and the green blood splashed on him. Although several ant men are fierce and not afraid of death, they are still unable to resist the trainee knights with sharp swords. White soon hacked the ant men to death.

Claude and the paladins came up and looked at the monster body on the ground and white with green blood. His face was serious and heavy.

"Sir Knight, is this what you want?" Claude asked coldly.

White blinked and said nothing. After a while, his face changed greatly and shouted, "get out!"

Compared with the perception of trainee knights, paladins were obviously a little worse. When white got away and ran, they heard a hiss in the distance. Soon everyone saw that thousands of ant people were running here like a black wave.

The crowd was in a mess. Thousands of free people cried and ran away, while thirty paladins stood in a row.

"Claude! Don't you run!" Cried the green pilgrim.

"Green, run! We'll stop these monsters!" Claude held the hammer tightly in his hand.

"You're crazy! It's meaningless to die!" Green scolded angrily. I don't know why. After just one month, Green took the stupid Paladin as his partner.

"Someone must stop the monster. This is our Paladin's mission. Only sacrifice can lead to redemption."

Claude's eyes were bright and firm, and green couldn't say a word with a towering momentum.

Green left. When he heard the paladin's neat battle prayer, he couldn't help looking back and saw countless ant people drowning the stupid paladins.

Shining paladins are fools! Even prayer is so stupid! When all things are dark, only glory lasts forever! It's fucking dark. Where's the light? Green thought as he ran.

"Maybe there is light..."
