Chapter 136: Shocking Change
In the early hours of the morning in the city of Dorez, the punks and others had already left, and the army and priests in the city were ready, and the attack on the church of Tishahar would begin just before the light of Mira illuminated the city.
At the same time, the refugees outside the city of Dolez were in front of the city gates, and a sturdy old man led a few equally energetic young men to glare at Zweig, a nobleman on the city walls.
"You have enough food, why do you force all the refugees to go bankrupt, is this the kindness and friendliness of the nobles?"
Several young people around him also clenched their fists and waved them vigorously while protesting loudly:
"That's right, send the food down"
"It's they who forced my sister to sell herself, and quickly return my sister"
"Our family is going to starve to death, and these nobles still have food that they can't use up at all."
"Why don't you apologize quickly and send the food down".
The refugees were indignant, everyone roared angrily, and the many "companions" around them gave these usually timid refugees incredible courage, and now, many young people even dared to point at Zweig and scold.
At the same time, Dichido and Biran, Uttaran and others were mixed in with the refugees but helpless, the refugees' raised arms even blocked the light of the dawn, Uttaran looked at Zweig who was silent on the stage, she knew that the nobleman was the scapegoat introduced by the city of Dolaiz, and after a while, he should return to distribute food to the refugees and drive them away.
The refugees were so crowded that Dichido had to keep Taran and Biran behind him as much as possible to avoid being hit, and they wanted to go to the high platform and tell the old man who was protesting on behalf of the refugees, "You have been tricked by the cunning nobles, stop quickly".
But everyone frantically crowded towards the old man who was still loudly accusing the nobles, and Dichido and the others were stuck in the middle of the wave of refugees and couldn't move!
"Look, Zweig has moved something to the city walls." Pointing to the city wall, he exclaimed!
Hearing this, Dikido did not care to push through the crowd, and he stood on tiptoe, and finally saw the scene on the city wall after crossing the crowd.
I saw that "Zweig" was directing his servants to pile up large bags of grain on the city wall, and the excessive grain even piled up dozens of hills around the city wall, and just a few scattered grain particles had already filled the air with the fragrance of ququ wheat.
"Gollum"!!
Seeing so much food being moved to the front of the stage, the refugees couldn't help but quiet down, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost at the same time.
Everyone, including Dichido, Uttaran and the others, was dumbfounded, and the amount of grain even filled the city.
Dikido was even more speechless, he couldn't imagine that these nobles were so frustrated, hoarding so much food and constantly crying out about poverty.
Thinking of the countless children who starved to death among the refugees, and the countless families who had to sell their children in order to obtain food, Dichido remembered a child who was only six or seven years old weakly grabbing a clod of earth and stuffing it into his mouth, and he remembered a lively and kind girl who secretly went to the barracks in the middle of the night to bring food to the family and sold herself, all because of the greed of the nobles, and now, the food piled up at the head of the city was simply the most merciless mockery of this cruel reality.
Dikido's fists were clenched with anger, he couldn't imagine that there was such "evil" in this world since he was a child, he couldn't imagine that there was such a "evil" in this world, and that there were people who would rather put rotten food than squeeze poor refugees, did they really have no humanity at all?
The most terrible thing is that the nobles will then start a terrible conspiracy, they will send food, and then drive all the hopeful refugees to the abyss.
"Damn!
Dikido's eyes were torn, he was angry, he hated, because of the existence of these unimaginable "evils", and because he watched everything happen but could not do anything.
As the endless rage burned Dikido's heart, a pair of soft and boneless hands covered his bloodied fists.
“............”
Dikido looked up in a daze, and he saw a beautiful face coming to him at some point.
"It's not your fault, we can't save everyone, and we can't punish all evil, so just protect the people in front of you, isn't that what you said."
Bilan's voice calmed Dikido's heart like a clear spring, and his clenched fists slowly relaxed.
"That's right, Bilan, the priority is to save the person in front of you, but ............".
Dikido watched with a little despair as "Zweig" on the city wall came to a commanding height, and it seemed that he was about to speak.
"It's too late to stop it............"
Taran lowered her head in frustration, she had already expected the next development of the plot, according to the faces of the group of nobles, Zweig would first say some false apologies, and then advise the refugees to go to other territories, and finally distribute food and dismiss all the refugees............
"Zweig" stood on the high platform, because he was too far away, no one could see his figure clearly, and no one noticed the deep madness in Zweig's eyes at this time.
He took out an enchanted megaphone, took a deep breath, and said in an unquestioning tone:
"Now, I, Zweig Koala, give the order here............ Immediately, burn all the grain, and there will be no grain left!!"
“..................”
“..................”
"That nobleman...... What was said"?
The refugees outside the entire city of Doraiz were stunned, and even the dozens of city guards on the city walls were stunned, and the actions of "Zweig" were beyond everyone's expectations, and they did not react at all.
But Zweig's five or six loyal privates reacted, and they quickly pulled out the flint and flint, and then set fire to the grain pile around them as quickly as they could, as everyone watched.
It all happened in a flash of light, and no one even thought to step forward to stop it.
I don't know what material was added, but when the grain pile touched Mars, it immediately burst into flames, and because the grain was stacked intensively, the fire soon spread to each grain pile, and the entire city became a sea of fire in just a few seconds.
Zweig stood on the wall and laughed, the light and shadow of the flames behind him dancing wildly on his greasy fat face.
"You untouchables, how dare you make a request to the nobles of great nobility? Now that I have obeyed the orders of Lord Hutt and burned all the grain, this is a little punishment given to you by the nobles of Dorez, hahahaha, you are only worthy of being slaves, slaves for generations"!
Zweig laughed maniacally on the high platform, and more than 20,000 refugees stood in place in despair as they watched the skyrocketing fire.
"This is, what's going on, the nobles didn't do this kind of thing, he ...... Why"
The crowd was even incoherent, and the turn of events was beyond everyone's expectations, Zweig did not hesitate to burn all the grain, and by the way, threw the pot on Hurt and all the Dolez nobles.
Lutharan didn't know what was going on, or why Zweig was doing it, but she knew that it was definitely not what the nobles wanted to see.
