The people Zhao Xi saw now alone had already surpassed the total number of people he had seen these days.

The street that leads to the gate is lined with shops of all kinds, small ones selling vegetables, meat, and some more modest restaurants.

Most of the large shops sell a variety of souvenirs, such as weapons and armor brought from the Iron City, precious jewelry, and some of the more upscale guild halls.

There are also some strange shops full of mysterious symbols, and the customers who enter them do not look like ordinary people.

Listening to the bargaining, noisy, and selling voices of the people around him, Zhao Xi suddenly felt that he was closer to this world.

"What a vibrant city!" Zhao Xi squinted his eyes and sighed.

"How does it compare to the city of the Magic Council?" Atticas asked with a smile as he came to Zhao Xi's side.

"To each his own, to each his own. ”

Zhao Xi had no way to answer this question, so he had to make a fool of himself.

"I know that Shodria is now much worse than the capital of your Magic Council, but I believe that one day Shodria will definitely become one of the best cities on the continent!"

Atticaus's tone was firm, and a strong light flashed in his eyes, and the strong confidence emanating from his body infected some of the mercenaries around him.

"What a young man full of vitality, then the future of this city is going to be handed over to you!"

Buffy also stepped out of the carriage at this time, and laughed happily when he heard Atticaus's words.

Passers-by in the distance, caught by Buffy's laughter, turned their heads to look at the area, trying to figure out what was going on.

However, when he saw that the old man who was laughing was surrounded by guards, he didn't look very easy to provoke, so he turned his head back again.

Just as everyone was talking, there was a loud noise from the street in the distance.

Zhao Xi looked in the direction where the voice came from, but saw a not very harmonious scene.

I saw a pair of guards escorting many people past the intersection in front of them, and it was from them that the noise came from.

Most of the escorts were elderly, women and children, and the children were held tightly in the arms of the adults.

The eyes of the adults were full of fear and uncertainty about their future, and they were able to follow the guards calmly.

The guards around him were talking and laughing, pointing and whispering to the people being escorted from time to time.

What's more, some of the guards moved their hands and feet to the better-looking woman among them, and let out a lewd smile from their mouths.

Zhao Xi frowned directly when he saw this scene, and his good impression of Shyrea just now was gone.

Atticaus, on the side, blushed, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames.

He had just finished bragging about Shodria to Don on the side, and what the guards did was like slapping him in the face twice.

And Atticas had already seen that Don next to him had frowned, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with this situation.

This made him rush to his head with a burst of anger, and directly dragged the sword of a mercenary beside him, and strode towards the escort team in front.

At first it was walking, then it became a trot, and finally it became a stride run.

As he continued to advance, the ordinary longsword that Atticus had snatched in his hand had been covered with golden light, as if it had turned into a longsword made of golden light.

Zhao Xi didn't expect Atticas next to him to rush out like this, and looking at him, it was obviously not like he wanted to have a good talk with the person opposite.

He was about to rush up and stop Atticas, but was grabbed by the arm by Buffy behind him.

After Zhao Xi was caught, he turned his head and looked at the old businessman with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Buffy, just let him rush forward?"

Buffy shook his head and said, "It's okay for him to be alone, you guys come with me first, this is not the place to talk." ”

Although Zhao Xi was still a little worried, he saw that Buffy was so confident, so he was relieved.

As the crowd left the street, exclamations and screams could be heard from the escort procession.

Looking over to Atticaus's side, he saw the young paladin's steel sword glowing golden, rushing into the guards like a bull.

"What people!"

"It's extraordinary! no! it's a paladin!"

"How dare you do it in Shyderea! Don't you want to live?"

"Come on! Come on! How dare a paladin be so arrogant!?"

I saw that after the guards discovered Atticaus, they opened their mouths one after another, some roaring, some panicking, and some were inward-looking.

However, these words could not stop Atticus, who was advancing, and saw that he had already loaded into the ranks of the guards, and slapped the guard with the back of his sword at the guard who had just done something to the woman.

"Ah!!h

The surrounding guards only heard a scream, and the attacker had already flown out backwards and smashed on the vegetable stall next to him.

The vegetable vendor was completely stunned by what he saw, he had lived in the city for four or five years, and had never seen anyone kill the guards like this.

I saw that the attacked mercenary spat out two mouthfuls of blood, tilted his head to the side and fainted.

"Someone's dead!

The surrounding onlookers thought that this mercenary was really dead, and they thought it was just an ordinary brawl, so they were in the mood to stay and watch the excitement, but they didn't expect to be killed.

For a while, the surrounding crowd of onlookers ran away directly, and some meaningless screams came out of their mouths as they ran.

The ordinary people who were escorted were also stunned, they didn't expect that someone would attack the law enforcers and guards in the city, and they didn't know how to react for a while.

Some people even wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, but they were afraid that they would be caught by the guards again and punished more severely, so they gave up this unrealistic idea.

"How dare you beat the guards in Shydra!

A mercenary pointed at Atticas not far in front of him, his outstretched arm trembling slightly, not knowing whether he was angry or frightened.

"Oh?"

Atticas shifted his gaze to the guard, a dangerous glint in his huge eyes.

The mercenary who spoke just now seemed to be frightened by the paladin's gaze, and hurriedly took two steps back.

But after a while, he reacted and felt that such an action was too embarrassing, so he blushed and glared at Atticas fiercely.

"Am I going to die?" said Atticas in a sudden voice, "I've heard this countless times since I was a child, but I haven't died once." ”

The guards around them all felt that the young paladin in front of them was too arrogant, and they didn't pay attention to the laws of Shydrea.

"Don't think that the church behind you can save you! This is the North! It's Shodrea! The church is nothing here!"

One of the guards felt that Atticus was too arrogant, so he stepped forward and shouted at him.

"That's right!"

A majestic voice came to mind at the back of the escort procession, and all the people around trembled when they heard it.

"Shodria has the law of Shodrea, and I don't need to teach you to dictate it!"

As the voice fell, the escort team slowly divided to both sides, and a tall man in armor appeared in front of everyone.

Anyone who has spent some time in Shyrea will have this tall figure with a look of awe in his eyes.

The man in armor who appeared later was none other than Wood, one of the ten captains of the City Guard, the Eagle of the Capital.

It is said that the captain's eyes are as sharp as an eagle in the sky, and that no criminal's careful mind can escape his eyes, and that he is impartial.

Wood wasn't the strongest of the ten, but he was the most famous of them, and there was no one who didn't know him if he had lived here for a while.

This captain has been distracted by the affairs of the demon believers in the past two days, especially today when he checked out a merchant family suspected of worshipping demons.

He quickly led his men to surround the manor where the merchant was located, and successfully retrieved the demon's statue and blood type altar from the merchant's secret room.

With these two things, the merchant had no chance to defend himself;

Not only him, but his family was also implicated because of him, and the whole clan was reduced to slavery.

The attitude of the north and even the mainland towards demon believers is zero tolerance, and once it is discovered, it will be a death sentence, no matter what the reason.

However, today's situation was a bit unexpected for Wood, there was only one demon believer in this family, and he even planned to sacrifice his entire family to demons.

So in a sense, the rest of the family is also a victim, and because of this person's fault, everyone bears the consequences.

Wood felt that such a punishment was too harsh and unfair to innocent people.

But he also knows that only iron-blooded means can suppress some of the guys who are trying to move in the shadows. As soon as this aspect is opened, there will definitely be countless family "outcasts" who will try to contact this forbidden power.

These families may lack money or power, but the last thing they lack is people, and if they are relieved, the trouble dealt with by the city defense army will definitely double.

Of course, when he was upset about this matter, something happened in front of the team escorting the prisoners, which really gave him a bit of a headache.

Just as Wood was approaching, he heard his subordinate say this, and he emerged from the crowd to support him.

He doesn't have a good impression of the church at all, especially since he sometimes has to smile at some big people from the church federation, who really give him disgusting death.

Wood had long wanted to find an excuse to clean them up, and the helpful clergyman had arrived at this time of the day and given him a reasonable excuse.

But when he emerged from the crowd, the scene in front of him almost didn't make his eyes fall in shock.
