Chapter 426: Fueling the Flames
The vision in the direction of the temple was naturally produced by the sacrificial ritual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The silver divine light falling from the clouds was intertwined with the green life light rising from nature, intertwined and entangled, and the energy fluctuations released were very obvious to anyone in the entire Orinedus.
There are also those chants that come faintly, and the elven chant has a melodious and elegant taste.
Many elves did not know what was going on, thinking that a miracle was coming, and they rushed to the direction of the temple, hoping to pay close attention to the miracle.
However, the elven civilians were stopped by a group of elven vigilantes who had received orders.
Faro had already been informed by Dane in advance, he knew how important the purification ritual in the temple was, and where would the civilians make trouble?
To put it mildly, he dispersed the civilians on the grounds that he had purified a terrible evil monster and was not suitable for visiting.
But such a large-scale movement, not only Orinadus, but even the Ghost Knife Port can be seen clearly, and it can't be hidden at all.
Dane didn't want to hide it, either. The underground riots continued, and a large number of soldiers relied on the defensive line, desperately resisting the Faceless Ones, preventing them from reaching the surface. In addition, on the line from Ghost Knife Harbor to Orinedu, the security guards in both places have begun martial law, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to move around the two places without permission in the past two days.
This is done in the hope that all accidents can be prevented. And it also played a certain effect.
There is nothing wrong with Orinedu itself, the main population is all elves, and there will be no big problem. However, as a very important trading port, the current population composition of the Ghost Knife Port is very mixed, and there is a considerable floating population.
These merchants, merchant guards, gold diggers, and adventurers are not peaceful lords. Orinen has such a big movement, it is natural to attract their attention.
I don't know why, the rumors that Orinai has a heavy treasure in the world, and it spread throughout the entire Ghost Sword Port at a very fast speed.
Tommy quickly senses that something is wrong, and quickly issues an announcement that Orinare is just holding a religious service of Father Shiloh, and that the so-called treasure is nothing more than nonsense.
But the announcements that came out did little to no avail.
Those chaotic elements, no matter what religious consciousness or religious rituals. Compared with the official account, they have always believed the news circulating in their own circles.
As a result, some daring people secretly tried to go from the Ghost Knife Harbor to Orinaidu through martial law and blockade along the way.
These adventurers still have some scruples about the majesty of the lord of Dane. They don't dare to break through blatantly, so they can only sneak around, hoping to sneak through.
Most of them were caught by the vigilantes, but among the adventurers, there are still some good players occasionally, especially some guys who are good at stealth, and the vigilantes are not very easy to catch.
So, occasionally, a few broke into Orinedu, but in the end they were pulled out by the elves.
For the time being, these adventurers have not caused any major problems, but Dane, who was waiting for news in the palace of Orinedu, sensed that something was not quite right after learning about these things.
It is true that before, it was impossible to hide the transfer of thousands of troops to the underground world, but such rumors that there was a peerless treasure in Orinadus spread all over the city in the blink of an eye, and even Tommy couldn't even suppress it in the city, so there must be a problem.
It's clear that someone is behind it!
Who the conspirators were, Dane had a vague guess in his mind.
However, it is too late to deal with the black hand behind it now, and the rumors have spread too widely to be contained. At the moment, the most important thing is to quickly curb this unhealthy trend.
Dane decided to go heavy.
On the night of the sacrificial ceremony, forty-seven adventurers were arrested in a row, and all of them were hanged in the most prosperous port square of Ghost Knife Harbor.
The rite of trial and the ceremony of execution were put together, and forty-seven adventurers, in turn, lined up in a line, on six gallows, their necks all tied to ropes.
With the order of the executioner, the rope was cut, and under the effect of gravity, the adventurers were hung up one by one, and in the weak struggle and trembling, they turned into cold corpses.
Subsequently, the hanged corpses were nailed to temporary wooden stakes by the security guards, waiting for them to dry in the sea breeze, and in order to deter those with bad intentions.
Dane took two squadrons of Nightblade Leopard cavalry drawn back from the vicinity of Tamsui Lake to personally observe and preside over the trial and execution ceremonies.
At the end of the execution, Tommy came to the stage, and his beard became very serious. He issued a provisional decree in the Ghost Knife Harbor, and within three days, anyone who dared to pass through the west gate of the Ghost Knife Harbor to Orinedu without permission would be hanged.
Forty-seven adventurers were hanged in this way, and there was such a draconian temporary decree that caused an uproar in Ghost Knife Harbor.
The people who had died of their comrades, their men, or simply those who had thought of going to Orinertus to find out, were quite opposed to this temporary decree, and even aroused by the crowd.
But Dane didn't pay attention to these people, he used such a ruthless method, hoping to use the power of thunder to curb the adventurers' snooping on Orinedu.
While issuing the decree, Dane did not let his guard down.
After the execution, Dane did not send the Nightblade Panthers he had drawn back to the line at the entrance to the underground cavern. Although there is a lot of pressure there now, the Nightblade Panther Cavalry itself is not suitable for defensive combat, and relatively speaking, the White Wolf Guards and Ranger troops can play a greater role.
As a result, these two squadrons of Nightblade Panther cavalry were used by Dane to strengthen the defenses of Orinedu.
One of the squadrons, cruising along the road from Ghost Knife Harbor to Orinedu, was responsible for capturing anyone who intended to approach Orinedu without receiving an order, and whoever tried to pass without a lord's warrant must be apprehended, but anyone who dared to resist could be killed on the spot.
Another squadron was placed around the temple to act as a guard. Their security range is smaller, and the arrangement of patrol lines is more dense.
These are all designed to deter those who take risks further.
