Chapter 11: The High Wall of Humanity (2)
The modest walls bear witness to the rise of the kingdom of Snoopy, and at this moment, the silent stones are witnessing the fall of the kingdom.
It is hard to imagine that the people who are just separated by a wall can turn into a situation of mutual danger because of a few expert assessments and some rumors.
However, the homeless people and guards who are facing each other at this moment are a constant reminder to everyone that reality is often more absurd than fictional stories.
…
"Open the door! Why block the city gates? Let me in, my daughter is still home alone! ”
"Ahem... Open the door quickly, if His Majesty doesn't release any more food, we will all starve to death!" ”
"Open the door!"
Seething resentment has been rising, and since the quarantine order was issued, more and more people have concentrated on the city gates, except for those who really need to enter the inner city, and more refugees are at first moving in with the herd simply because of the nervousness of fear of abandonment.
However, as time passed, the indifference and resoluteness of the defenders intensified the conflict between the two sides, which naturally led to a more direct confrontation.
- The people inside the city cut off the road of traffic in order not to be infected by the plague, and the people outside the city naturally have to do everything they can to break this blockade in order not to be abandoned.
In a matter of life and death, people have long been unable to analyze problems as rationally as usual, and the crisis of trust between the upper class and the lower class has finally become the fuse that detonates everything at this moment.
… Anger began to take over the hearts of the refugees before they knew it, and an even more dangerous impulse had spread among the crowd.
That's a "disease" that spreads far faster than the plague!
"Bastard! Do you want to die without saving you? ”
"That's right! Those selfish aristocrats don't want to save us at all, we fight with them! ”
"Knock open the gates!"
In fact, the revolt was set off a little faster than Douglas had expected, and the guards at the head of the city had to issue a series of warnings in the face of the refugees who had already begun to organize their men and use simple storming equipment to top the gates.
While most of them are reluctant to attack these civilians, the reality of the growing violence is forcing them to respond.
"Captain! It's not the way to go on like this... The brothers at the door are about to be overwhelmed, and if they continue like this, the gate will be lost sooner or later! ”
"Don't I know? But what do you want me to do? Is it really starting to slaughter!? ”
"Captain... If they don't die, we will die after the city defenses are breached! ”
“…”
"Captain, give the order, it's too late!"
On the high wall, the dilemma of the chief has not yet made a final decision, but a puff of dust and smoke suddenly rises outside the city...
Guarded by the Kingdom Guards, the horse team of the Thirteen Princes finally arrived near the city wall.
His Royal Highness Klein, who was desperate, didn't seem to expect such chaos at the entrance of the inner city, and the only remaining reason allowed him to give orders to the knights around him to maintain order on the scene, and the refugees, who were already on the verge of a complete rampage, temporarily stopped the siege of the city because of the arrival of this good prince.
"Thirteen Princes!"
"Your Royal Highness, please say something, they are going to seal the city!"
"Your Royal Highness, please save us..."
People religiously drew closer to Klein in the hope that the beloved prince would bring them the final salvation as before.
However, no matter how much they thought about it, these fragile, pleading eyes were now more like a sharp knife piercing into the original broken heart of His Royal Highness the Prince.
… It's just a day.
His Royal Highness has lost his beloved pet, his companion who shared weal and woe, and his innocent sister, and now, with a decree from his father, even these refugees he sacrificed everything to save are lost, and this huge loss has finally made Prince Klein's emotions completely collapse.
Sitting on his horse, he bowed down and cried uncontrollably.
Salty tears flowed down his cheeks and into his mouth, bitter into his heart. For a while, up and down the city wall, other voices were covered by this hoarse cry, and no other voices could be filled in everyone's ears.
One can't help but start to reflect
When did they have such a demon living in their hearts, they would rather ignore the cry of goodness than stick to the wall of selfishness.
What kind of power made everyone forget the bond of siblings, just for some medicine and food, and sat back and watched people of the same country and nationality die regretfully, and even almost raised a butcher's knife to each other!
The torture of conscience moved every guard who witnessed the prince's tears, and under the guidance of this invisible force, the cold and heavy gate finally defied the wishes of the royal family, and slowly opened to the people in need outside the city...
With this as an opportunity, the people of the Snoopy Kingdom may finally be able to understand each other, and perhaps after working together to overcome this man-made disaster, there will be a real revival!
However... The heavy reality gave everyone the most brutal blow when the door of hope opened.
- The bullet of sin roared out of the chamber with a wisp of smoke!
The specially modified warhead was so fast that the prince's bodyguards didn't even have time to react.
It wasn't until the kindness of blood was sprinkled all over the ground, as if the mute button was pressed, that the scene was finally drowned out by huge exclamations and roars.
Time: 12:00 sharp
Klein, the thirteenth prince of the Snoopy Kingdom, left this cruel world forever, and he didn't even have time to give a last word.
… The civil uprising is completely out of control!
