"Is that there?"

In the early morning, Gronia and Mayne, along with more than a dozen paladins, lurked in the shade of the trees, looking out at the huge buildings like storehouses behind the wall of thorns in the distance.

"Good ...... No wonder it's called the City of Thorns. ”

Unlike Gronia's focus, Mayne was shocked as she looked at the city that had risen from the ground.

"Yes, it's the same every day, and I heard that the adventurer's square is about to be completed, and it will be open to adventurers from the entire Godfall Plateau...... Well, of course I'm not going. ”

The guide was a ranger from Epsilon, who was about to continue Mayne's topic, when he was stared at coldly by the other paladins, and quickly affirmed his position, and then hurriedly said: "Come out!

Beyond the wall of thorns, you can see a steady stream of people in plain linen clothes pouring out of the warehouse, converging on the flat dam and forming a neat formation. Then led by the man in red, shouting the number of one, two, three, four, neatly waving his arms and kicking his legs, making strange movements.

The young paladin named Jenny said hatefully, "They are using slaves for evil sacrifices!"

Mayne muttered, "How do I think it's just a simple activity......"

As slaves poured out of the warehouses, they eventually saw thousands of people gathered on the flat dam, a scale that shocked everyone.

"A lot of slaves!"

Gronia sneered: "Such a deep sin, we will definitely end it today!"

The other paladins hesitated a little, and Jenny frowned, "There are so many people, how can you tell which ones are legal and which ones are illegal." ”

The ranger said timidly, "I heard...... They were not slaves, but citizens in training. ”

"Train citizens?"

The paladins let out a disdainful laugh, and Glonia said, "This is the second funniest joke I've ever heard in my life, the first being that the Blood Crown Queen has been recognized by the Dawning Star." ”

She drew her long sword and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is legal or not, it is a sin to use slaves for evil sacrifices, let's go!"

"Gronia!"

Mayne called eagerly, reminding her that there was no consensus between the two of them when she came.

Gronia sighed, "Well, we try not to hurt anyone, even if it's Duke Prell's subordinates. ”

Jenny and the other paladins looked disapproving, and Gronia explained, "We have to think about Cheyendia and don't make it too difficult for Uncle Cheyenne. ”

Jenny looked at the ranger who was shrunk to the side, his face full of helplessness, and pouted, "Just spare their lives!"

More than a dozen paladins approached quickly under the cover of trees and depressions, and the ten-meter-high wall of thorns was a matter of building a personal ladder for them, and Gronia, who had been promoted to the hero level, jumped over the thorns on her toes.

When they appeared on the flat dam, the slaves were not only unmoved, but some of them kindly said: "You are standing in the wrong place! You are not returning to your position? Beware of being scolded by the counselor, and the excessive deduction of points will affect the graduation grades!"

Despite not being able to understand it, the paladin felt the fear of the slaves succumbing to oppression.

"Slaves!"

Gronia shouted, "You are free!

The surrounding slaves froze, looking at them like idiots, and some muttered, "Is this a new course? Test our reactions?"

Jenny and the others shouted, "Go this way! We make a hole in the Wall of Thorns! Get out of there, and you'll be free!"

"What are you guys playing? There are no emergency drill classes today!"

A young man in red walked over and got closer, only to exclaim, "It's really a holy warrior!"

Seeing him feel the whistle from his waist to summon the guards, Gronia's figure flashed in front of him and kicked him away.

Not only did the slaves still stand, but their expressions became even more eerie.

"Let's go!"

Gronia cried out again, feeling the slaves incredibly indifferent.

Then she finally discovered something beyond her imagination, these slaves were clean-faced, neatly dressed, and everyone was very energetic, which is the state that slaves should have!

Shouldn't slaves be empty-eyed and thin?

"She killed Counselor Carlos!"

"Murderer, don't let her go!"

"Call the guards!"

"Everyone, get on them!"

The slaves shouted in indignation and rushed up.

"You ......"

Gronia punched and kicked each other, knocking back the slaves one by one, saying that these people were probably controlled by some spell, and they were indeed doing evil sacrifices.

"We must be mistaken, they don't look like slaves," Mayne shouted to Gronia as she deftly approached the crowd like a catfish.

"The souls of these people have been defiled! Holy Warrior, banish evil!"

Jenny and the others put their promise behind them, and their swords shone with golden light, slashing at the "slaves" who tried to capture them.

Blood splattered everywhere, and in an instant a large number of people fell, and the slaves screamed in terror and fled in all directions.

Jenny shouted happily, "Justice will prevail!"

Rumble......

A huge white wolf, two feet tall, suddenly appeared, trampling Jenny under his feet, and in the dust, the young paladin's entire body was buried in the ground.

The giant wolf's tail swept away, knocking down the other holy warriors like moths, and it actually spoke in a very unhappy tone: "It's you crazy people again, you have to be disturbed in the early morning gymnastics!"

"Jenny!"

Gronia rushed towards the impossibly large black-backed white wolf, why would the wild druids also appear at such an evil sacrifice?

A little man stopped her: "Whoosh~Shake incense~"

Gronia swept over with the spine of her sword: "Get out of the way!"

With a wave of the little man's hand, the giant sword that covered her body suddenly appeared.

In Gronia's horrified gaze, the two swords intersected, and not only did her long sword cut and crack, but her whole person also seemed to be hit by a galloping steel colossus, flying upside down and slamming into the wall of the warehouse.

"Gronia!"

Mayne shouted, then stiffened and fell straight to the ground, revealing another small figure behind her.

The little man raised his hand, and the thick light whip in his hand quietly dissipated.

"Help!"

She beckoned to the counselor who rushed over, looked at the victim lying on the ground, and frowned, "What the hell are these crazy people pouring into their heads?"

..................

In the conference room of the office building in the core area of Beta City, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Fei held a temporary countermeasures meeting.

"The paladin ran to rescue the slaves, killed four cadets, wounded twelve people, including the counselor......"

Stan, director of the Beta City Integration Department, and Poppy, director of the Beta City Security Department, made a report on the situation, and Poppy also made a self-review: "Yesterday, the education area just installed the camera, and I adjusted the patrol area, but I didn't expect the monitoring center to have not perfected the working mechanism, and the monitoring work was chaotic and clueless, and it happened to be overlooked." ”

Li Qi took the responsibility on himself: "It was my side that made a big leap forward, and I wanted to use telephoto array and magic camera technology to establish a monitoring system covering the whole city, but the back-end monitoring management did not keep up, and the result was out of the basket." Luckily, Finney, Elle, and Karin practiced radio drills there, captured the paladin on the spot, and rescued two wounded, otherwise the consequences would have been even worse. ”

"It's too difficult to prevent the destruction of a small group of people, Li Qi, don't blame yourself......"

Aurora comforted thoughtfully, and then asked the key point of the incident: "So, that Cheyenne finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to provoke us?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Cheyenne......"

Poppy reported the paladin's confession, and the blame for the incident turned to the Holy Light Castle.

"It seems that that prince is not a 100% fool," Li Qi said with emotion: "Why has it nothing to do with Cheyenne? Is it that he is not strict with his subordinates! Cheyenne may have a high IQ and EQ, but unfortunately his subordinates have a chaotic position, and they have been used by the stupid prince who has a pitifully low EQ, and that guy may be holding his head and moaning now." ”

Tarence huffed: "If Cheyenne really can't control his subordinates, then we should adjust our strategy and focus on dealing with Cheyendia!"

Everyone understands the anger of the old man, and the study class and the adventurer's guild are the two main tasks of Beta, providing permanent residents and floating populations for Beta, while also sending fresh blood to Epsilon. If the holy warriors do this, everyone's safety will not be guaranteed, how much trust will they have in Beta City and even the Fei Gong?

"Why don't I go to Cheandia? ”

Aurora has been a little proud lately, and after confirming that her class eye is a weapon for censoring beliefs, she has even developed a mysterious confidence in her ability to communicate.

"Cardinal Aurora, your revolutionary infantile disease has been committed again, go back and submit a three-hundred-word review!"

Li Qi angrily replied: "There are a bunch of crazy paladins over there, and there is a legendary paladin in charge, what do you use to deter them?

Aurora protested: "Cardinal, your remarks are suspected of personal attacks and sexism!"

The others didn't pay attention to her protest at all, and nodded their heads in agreement, and even Ellie hugged her arms and nodded her little head in a matter-of-fact manner, which made Aurora angry: "It's because of the presence of the legendary paladin that I don't use force lightly." What Beta City needs most now is a peaceful environment, didn't we decide to be obscure before?"

Stan agrees with Aurora: "I also feel that it is necessary to be cautious, the third batch of cadets is almost here, and it is all criminals who have been scavenged from prisons all over Hadlong. Although most of them are innocent people who have been affected by the murderous case, there are still many murderers with conclusive evidence, and these people must be screened well, and the curriculum must be adjusted, and more manpower must be invested in this. ”

"The business of Beta City is going on at the same time, there are so many places that need manpower, and Epsilon is empty now. If you go to deal with Xia Andia again, you can't take care of it at all. ”

Wilson also said: "If you use the legion, as long as you can contain the legend, it won't be too difficult to erase Cheandia." However, it is difficult to guarantee that the Holy Light Castle will not take advantage of the fire to loot, and the defense of Beta City will have problems. And if the paladins are dispersed, most of those madmen will become terrorists, which is a really headache situation. ”

If that's the case, it's not just a headache......

Tice looked left and right, and after receiving Richie's encouraging gaze, she bravely expressed her opinion: "The adventurer's area is almost completed, and the project of bringing together all the adventurers of the entire Godfall Plateau in Beta City is about to start. I think that compared to these things, whether it is Xia Andia or the Holy Light Castle, it is a secondary matter. ”

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", Li Qi translated the famous Chinese saying in the ancient Finn: "At this stage, we really need to be obscure. ”

Poppy finally couldn't help but raise his hand and ask, "What's that...... What does that mean?"

"It's just that the accounts are kept first, and the general ledger is calculated later", Li Qi explained casually, and Poppy nodded knowingly.

"But ......"

Li Qi added: "This does not mean that we should be lenient with the holy warriors who committed crimes, and seek peace from the side of Xia Andia. ”

Aurora gave him a blank look: "Isn't that a contradiction?"

Li Qi shook his head: "There is no contradiction, there is a saying called ......"

Elle's shoulders flashed, and there was an extra parrot, and the parrot said quickly: "If you seek peace through struggle, you will survive in peace! If you seek peace through compromise, you will die in peace!"

I remember that sentence correctly, it should be true. That night Richie was talking about politics and war, everyone else was asleep, only I was listening, Finny was drooling, and little by little, Richie put my hand on Tina's ear, and she didn't notice it...... quack quack ......"

Elle blushed and put the parrot away, Li Qi smiled bitterly, if it weren't for the large psychological monologue in the back, Elle would have been completely forced to add one.

"Yes, if you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace!"

He raises his voice, dragging everyone's attention away from the ambiguous scene described in Ellie's psychological monologue, and of course inevitably receives a "death gaze" from Aurora.

"So, we must be ready to fight the Holy Warriors to the death, and even prepare to fight the legendary to the death!"

When it comes to fighting Legends, everyone's faces turn awe-inspiring, which is a crazy thing.

Gambit said the other half of everyone's thoughts: "It's not that I haven't done it......"

Aurora's already tall breasts will be even taller. Didn't everyone fight with the legend in order to save her? If she really wanted to do it, she wouldn't back down!

Tarence became worried: "What are you going to do? ”

"The measure is to let those holy warriors see our position and bottom line clearly, and by the way, let their minds be sober and reflect on their position and bottom line. ”

Li Qi's eyes flashed with anticipation: "This is also a good opportunity for the students and adventurers to understand what kind of order we want to establish in the Divine Fall Plateau!"

"If there is really a fight, the Holy Light Castle will definitely be very happy", Gambit sighed, "I am not reconciled." ”

"Come and don't be rude", Li Qi called the round hook with a Bilibili boy: "The information of the Holy Light Castle has been edited? No, don't rush to send it to the news agency, send it to Xia Andia first, make sure that every paladin can see it." ”

He then said to Poppy: "The cameras at the scene should have captured the murder of these holy warriors." ”

Poppy nodded, and Li Qi said again: "Then let's have a public trial and have a fair trial of these holy warriors." ”
