Chapter 243: The Alliance is formed
The sleeping refugees have no room or chance to resist, they have eaten for the first time in years, and they are still immersed in that kind of satiety and happiness, and on this night, they are greeted not by dreams of the future, but by the cold arrows that bring death!
A rain of arrows poured down from the walls on both sides, without the slightest pity or sympathy, and the arrows pierced through people's bodies, and the whistling sound of breaking through the air was like the whisper of death taking away one fresh life after another.

The refugees, awakened in their sleep, screamed and ran in fear, but once the gates of the inner and outer cities were closed, the center was completely enclosed, surrounded only by tall walls that could not be climbed, and there were no obstacles to dodge, and they were greeted only by despair.
The flowers on the ground were originally bright red, but as people kept running and falling, these flowers were crushed and melted into the soil, and withered at the most vigorous moment of blooming, and the bright red blood of the refugees was mixed with the bright red color of the flowers, and they were no longer separated from each other.
As more and more people around them fell, the remaining people finally despaired, they stopped running, they could only kneel on the ground numbly waiting for death to come, the only thing they could do was to raise their heads and curse the young man on the city wall who was watching all this indifferently, he was a real demon!
On the city wall, a figure snuggled weakly on the city wall, slowly sliding down, as desperate as those refugees in the rain of swords, no longer having the strength to attack his brother with his fist just now.
The other person, standing on the city wall, calmly felt the wailing sound below the city wall, and he could clearly feel the cold breath of those desperate people when they looked at him, and they wanted to drink their hair and blood.
The army on the city walls was clearly prepared, and they didn't know how many arrows were being fired into the refugee caverns, even if the screams had stopped.
Finally, the young man standing on the city wall raised his hand: "Stop!"
The assault finally stopped, but there was no life in the slum, and the air was filled with only the smell of blood and despair.
300,000 refugees, one move!
"You're crazy......" The young man who staggered to his feet was staring blankly.
The young man by the wall spoke slowly, without the slightest guilt in his words: "You should stand up and take a look." ”
Standing up, the young man couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, because it happened that at this time, the sun was rising from the other direction, stabbing people from opening their eyes.
"It was a night of despair, but after this night, we also ushered in the dawn and ushered in hope!"
"Can the exchange of 300,000 innocent refugees still be called hope?"
"If these 300,000 refugees don't die here, then we humans will only pay an even heavier price!"
"Whatever...... You've got everything you wanted. The young man's eyes were full of exhaustion, and he took off his clothes and took off the rose badge that hung on his chest, symbolizing the status of the "Chosen One".
"Dick...... No, I should call you "His Royal Highness the King of the Doma Empire...... From now on, I am no longer a member of the royal family, I am different from you, I am cowardly, I cannot bear this sin!"
The young man gently placed the royal coat of arms and clothes on the ground and walked down the steps down the city wall.
Next to another young man, an old man stepped forward and made a motion to wipe his neck, and the young man held the wall with both hands and didn't know what he was thinking, but finally shook his head.
"Open the gates, clean the corpses, my soldiers, and get ready for a new war!"
※※※
The 300,000 refugees gathered in the imperial capital were killed by a sudden "plague", and the current king expressed deep mourning for them, and even built a huge cemetery for them.
At the same time, the "Battle of the Chosen King" ended, the second prince inherited the empire and ascended the throne as the emperor, and the number of refugees on the mainland was instantly reduced by 300,000, which means that the remaining people were finally able to eat a mouthful.
Moreover, there are so many years of savings accumulated in the granary of the empire, which were originally collected from all over the country to feed the 300,000 refugees, but now that the refugees are gone, the new king who ascended the throne announced that these supplies would be used to expand the army.
As long as you come to serve as a soldier, you can eat all-you-can-eat, and the Iron Soldier City naturally regathered 100,000 troops within half a year.
Fortunately, there are 100,000 troops here, when the gate of the Demon World was opened, the human race resisted the first wave of attacks from the Demon World, and then there was a virtuous circle, without the nuisance of the Demon World, without the trampling of war, except for the frequent battles of the Blood Red Plateau and the Iron Soldier City, the rest of the continent ushered in a peaceful world, and the terrifying reproduction ability of human beings reflected his power again, and the continent was full of vitality again.
Therefore, people believe in His Royal Highness and respect His Royal Highness, and it is His Royal Highness that has brought them such a prosperous world.
But under this light, there is still a darkness.
Were the 300,000 refugees really dead?
Yes, a night of baptism of arrows, coupled with the constant pursuit of the army afterwards, but even so, there are very few people who escaped, they lost everything, relatives, friends and even a legal identity.
On the roster of the Empire, they are dead people, as long as their identities are revealed, the Empire will make their identities really match the identities on the roster, in order to survive, they can only unite, and all the survivors are "allies".
Under the leadership of a leader, they formed their own organization, the Confederate.
Most of the members of the League live in the slums of various cities, and the prosperity of the world outside is completely different, but even so, human instinct makes it difficult for them to live, even if they live as humble as rats in the sewers.
The unconditional trust and help among the members of the League allows the weakest people to live with each other.
But time will change quietly, and the League is no exception, the purpose of the League is very simple, is to "live", to survive in that difficult era, and now, this goal has been basically achieved, and there are even many members who have achieved the right to survive under the sun.
But at the same time, the contradictions of the alliance have appeared, some people think that they should implement the principles of the alliance now, continue to live, live better, and gradually return to society, while the other part of the people think that now that the problem of food and clothing has been solved, there is only one thing that needs to be considered next, that is, revenge!
