【Chapter 272】 Note: Touching the Foot, Executing in Public (II)

In a hoarse shout, the town began to wake up. The heavenly punishment of the church, the countless grains, the nobles who abandoned them, and the devil they attracted, every word touched their sensitive nerves.

The lords attached themselves to the lord for shelter, donated money to the church, and prayed for blessings.

But now, the threat of the orcs is looming, and the demons are haunting them, and even the graves of their loved ones have been dug up and burned.

To say that there is no anger, no complaint, is false.

They just dare to be angry, but they don't dare to speak.

In this hierarchical society, the people at the bottom did not have the power to judge the aristocracy. But they are not wretched creatures who are willing to die and let others fool them.

The first to step out of the house were those whose blood was not yet cold. They stood outside the town and looked out over the collapsed church, the convoy of convoys held on the road to the castle, and the cartloads of goods that were tightly covered.

Those cries were confirmed.

So, they also spontaneously became the shouters.

More and more people are going out of their homes, and in the hopelessness, in the despair of being abandoned, the anger in their hearts is accumulating more and more.

BOOM!

An earth-shattering loud bang tore through the sky, like the thunder of early spring, waking up the sleeping earth.

"Let's go and see how much food they have hidden!"

"yes, so much food. What do they want to do!"

"They are going to hide in the castle and eat our food. ”

"And we, the outcasts!"

"The orcs will kill us, they will burn this place!"

"We—there's no way to live!"

"Let's go, let's see, what the hell is a demon!"

The whole town was in a stir, and the people gathered towards the convoy from the grass huts, from the dirt roads, from the vegetable gardens, from behind the firewood, from the threshing fields, from all directions.

Some of them carried hoes, some carried axes, some picked up fire tongs, and some went out of the house empty-handed, on the pyre, improvised sticks, and tree sticks in their hands.

Perhaps, they did not have the courage to fight with the Knights.

But weapons are a sign of their anger!

The great crowds, along the uneven roads and through the fields, mingled with scolding and contempt, like a herd of indulgent cattle, made a noise.

Anger is contagious.

Courage is additive.

Under strong psychological pressure, the people gathered together seemed to have found a common outlet point. The scarce crumbs of bread in the morning had long since been digested, and everyone's stomach was crying out for hunger, and the pain added to the anger against the shameless.

"What's the matter!" Mister, who had stayed up all night, his eyes bloodshot and his tone was extremely irritable, and in front of him, there was a half-corpse, and the reason why it was a half-corpse was because the part from the waist down was all gone.

This is the knight who Fan Sen arranged to explore the way, and he was careful enough, but he didn't even think that under the half-finger-deep layer of earth, there was a well-known weapon.

It has to be said that the mines buried by Harald are very hidden.

"Oh no, no. Sir, the people of the town are alarmed, and they are coming around here. ”

"What?" Mister turned his head suddenly, and at a glance, he saw a crowd of black, overwhelming people pouring out of the town, brandishing all kinds of weapons, and rushing noisily.

This is a popular uprising!

Mister's nerves tensed up all of a sudden, and he immediately shouted, "Knights, all on alert!"

The great sword that flashed with cold light was drawn, and the knights in full armor reined in the reins of their horses, adjusted their direction, and soon formed a neat line of defense.

"Damn, what the hell is going on!" Mister was going crazy, and his originally extremely handsome face became distorted, and he roared, "Is this a rebellion!!"

Benedict, who was napping with a book in his hand in the carriage, was also awakened by the noise. When he lifted the curtain, the surging and angry crowd had rushed dozens of meters away, and there were hundreds of people.

"Holy Spirit above, what's going on?"

Benedict subconsciously held the cross around his neck and looked out at the crowd.

"Stop!"

A loud voice sounded, and Gardner, the chief knight of Mister, stepped out of the crowd, pointed the big sword in his hand at the invading people, and shouted: "This is Lord Mister's convoy, what do you want to do!"

The courage of the people is limited after all, and in the face of the knights with bright armor and strong swords, their footsteps did stop, but they all looked at the knights coldly and did not choose to leave.

Finally, a voice in the crowd shouted, "What's on your car!"

"Yes, what's in it!" the crowd asked.

Gardner grimaced and scolded, "You have no right to know! This is the property of the nobles, and it has nothing to do with you." I warn you, lay down your weapons and go out of your own accord. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the wrath of the nobles. ”

The crowd fell silent for a moment, but another voice cried out, "Is this what the Holy Spirit has taught you?

"We pay taxes to the nobles and get asylum, but what about you, what are you doing?"

Gardner was from Waterdeep, and he didn't have a good feeling for this kind of poor countryland, and these tattered poor people made him feel disgusted.

"Gardner!" Lord Mister, with a dark face, rode out on horseback, and swept the faces coldly, "You are attached to Pol Dut! ”

"I advise you, don't challenge my bottom line! Rushing into the nobles and intending to rebel, I have the right to represent the Kingdom of Tia and exterminate you rebellious people. ”

Mister's threat did its job, and many in the crowd flinched.

But there are still voices that are not afraid of death, "What about the church! We have donated money to the church." Don't think we don't know anything, the car is loaded with church food, and the church has the responsibility to provide for the poor!

Of course, it was not really from the 'people', but the nursery that Harald placed in the crowd, and these questions were carefully planned.

"Yes!" began to echo in the crowd.

"It must be the food of the church, look, that tenant farmer, I know!"

"Look, that's the priest! It's him, that's right!"

"Hey, Aunt Tracy, tell me if this cart is loaded with church food. ”

Mister looked at Benedict with a blue face, and Benedict was a little panicked, and stood on the carriage board, and shouted, "Pay attention to your words, for the Holy Spirit will condemn the slanderers!"

"Then why is your church punished by heaven?" someone asked aloud, "Is the Holy Spirit punishing us, or is he punishing you liars?"

"Nonsense, that's the devil's trick!" Benedict felt humiliated and snapped, "This is a town cursed by the devil." And you, the blasphemers, have insulted the great Holy Spirit by your vile, shameless, and despicable actions. This is a punishment for you, and you do not deserve the protection of the Holy Spirit. ”

"We don't deserve it? hahaha...... We earn food through our own labor, and we donate to you. And you, enjoying our food in peace, what else can you do but chant a few words of bullshit that don't make sense? Holy Spirit—just false kindness, despicable hypocrisy!"

"Fart, fart!" Benedict's fair face turned red, this was an insult to the Holy Spirit eating fruit, and he couldn't bear it at all: "Blasphemous! You are blasphemy! No one will forgive you, and every one of you, everyone who stands here, will have their souls go to hell and suffer endless torment." Your children, your loved ones, will be cursed with the most vicious of all, and their bodies will be covered with poisonous sores, their mouths will be full of venom, and their bellies will be full of feces!"

This vicious curse made many people in the crowd shudder. In their eyes, the pastor, who should be kind and fraternal, is now as vicious as a beast.

"I beseech you, Your Excellency, to ...... to these blasphemers"

Just when Benedict was furious, intent on getting the Knights to eradicate these blasphemers. A terrifying scene happened, under the shadow of the bottom of the carriage, a dark green tentacle as thick as a tree roamed along the wheel and climbed onto the carriage.

The creeping tentacles are covered with a viscous slurry, and underneath the slurry are dense pus-shaped suction cups, which make people's scalp tingle at a glance.

"Pastor...... Your Excellency. ”

The nearest tenant farmer was so frightened that they crawled away, and the townsfolk were startled, humming back several meters behind.

The knights who looked at it were also frightened, and Mister's face changed, the huge tentacles were four or five meters long, and they were along the roof of the carriage, close to Benedict.

"Eradicating ......"

Tick-tock, the slurry dripped onto Benedict's forehead, he was startled, and subconsciously looked up, only to see dense abscesses, suddenly grinning, revealing layers of weird fleshy teeth.

Burst!

The tentacle wrapped around his neck in an instant, and the rest of it wrapped Benedict tightly like a cocoon like a nimble python, and then suddenly lifted it high in the air.

"Help me, help me!" exclaimed Benedict, who was frightened.

The protrusion at the tip of the tentacle suddenly thrust into his mouth, puffing with dark green and unidentified mucus that emitted a strong stench.

Benedict's eyes were grunting and full of panic.

"Demon, he's possessed by a demon! it's him, it's the calamity he brings!"

This terrifying and disgusting scene frightened almost everyone, and many people ran into the distance. The knights who approached also hurriedly retreated.

"Old ...... Old...... Old...... Master. Fansen's tongue was starting to wobble.

Mister's stiff body jerked, "Demons, this is the demons hiding in the church. Knights, knights, eradicate the demons!"

The knights looked at each other, but no one responded.

Poof.

The tentacle suddenly let go, and quickly disappeared into the shadows under the car.

Benedict, who landed on the ground, was blackened in front of his eyes, and his stomach was surging, producing a strong feeling of vomiting. When he rolled over and sat up, he was shocked to find that his lower abdomen was swollen like a bulge.

"Vomit ......"

The uncontrollable feeling of vomiting made him prop up the ground with his hands, vomiting violently, and a large gulp of dark green juice splashed on the ground.

Soon, he felt like countless insects in his body, constantly gnawing at his flesh, internal organs, bone marrow and brain, and a terrifying power was rapidly expanding in his body.

Burst...... The bones of his hands were strangely reversed, closing together, and the white skin quickly turned dark green, and the five fingers glued together, extending forward, and growing suckers full of abscesses.
