They had likely stolen most of the town's supplies.
Judging by the bandits' actions, it was clear they were taking advantage of the situation, knowing the demons were coming and that people would be desperate to escape.
They captured the fleeing people, robbed them, and planned to let them go just before the demons arrived, so they could escape themselves.
As for whether those robbed townspeople would survive, that wasn't their concern.
To Father Barry, what these bandits did was the height of shamelessness, especially since the people they robbed were once residents of Ulon Town.
Father Barry couldn't help but look at Hanjun.
Seeing Father Barry's expression, Hanjun knew right away that Father Barry's kind-hearted nature was kicking in again—he wanted to rescue the townspeople.
But knowing Hanjun's personality, he was definitely not going to agree to Father Barry's request.
Hanjun thought that this was one downside—his priest was a bit too eager to worship him.
With his modern mindset, Hanjun wasn't quite used to it yet.
Owell didn't understand what summoning players meant, but he was shocked by how easily Hanjun talked about saving the townspeople.
"But... but the demons are already here! Even if we go back to Ulon Town, what's the point? We won't survive."
Hanjun glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, the demons won't break through Ulon Town's defenses, and you won't die."
Owell opened his mouth, struggling to find words, "You... is this for real?"
He remembered that Hanjun had only said he would throw him into the pile of demon corpses, but he misunderstood it as meaning the demons were already at the door, and that even if he came back, he wouldn't escape death.
Hanjun remained silent, so Father Barry explained to Owell, "The demon advance team has already been wiped out by the heroes summoned by the God of Light. The town is safe now."
