During this time, all eyes were focused on the Church, the abdication of Vannar V, and the series of events that followed, and no one would pay attention to the life or death of a small person compared to this big event that shocked the Dawn Continent.

However, Hollins is not strictly a small person, he is the sheriff of Raven City, the defense of Raven City is the most tragic battle in the north, Angsai's strategy of exchanging space for time finally worked, he sacrificed 60,000 people in the city with an almost ruthless attitude, in exchange for the assembly time of the army, compared to the vast majority of people who left nothing, Hollins's name at least appeared on the merit sheet.

However, for the Holy Alliance, the entire human world, and even the Dawn Continent, the sheriff of a mere city is indeed too small. After the victory in the North, Angsai sent his men to the White Crow City as soon as possible, originally to investigate the reconstruction plan, but when they arrived there, they were all silent, and the former town was now in ruins, the buildings were destroyed, the corpses were piled up everywhere, the blood stained the earth brown, and flies buzzed on it.

There is no life within a radius of more than 20 miles, and there is no possibility of reconstruction here.

Because there were so many dead that it was difficult to distinguish between them, and even the complete list of those who died could not be counted, fearing that so many corpses would bring epidemics, the army from the north dug a large pit on the spot and buried all the dead in it.

In the process, no one realized that Hollins' body was not among them.

In fact, even if someone noticed, they probably wouldn't be surprised, after the city was broken, those hungry monsters rushed in, killing while feasting fiercely, so there were many corpses in the city that were mutilated, and even the corpses could not be found.

The chubby sheriff looks very tasty, and it doesn't seem like a surprise that he is really going to be eaten by a monster.

Even Hollins himself thought he was dead.

After the city was broken, he retreated to the Frog Tavern as agreed, and also met Warren and some other survivors, who organized several teams of men to deal with the monsters that rushed into the city, but unfortunately Hollins was wounded in the leg and could not fight guerrilla like the others, so he could only hold a weapon and guard the Frog Tavern.

At that time, the city was completely chaotic, there were screams and wails everywhere, the crowd was running for their lives, but they didn't know where to escape, and everyone's faces were full of despair.

Hollins held the sword palm full of sweat, when he made the decision to fight to the end in the city, he was very heroic, but when the heat passed, his heart suddenly became apprehensive again, survival is the instinct of all creatures, no one is willing to die like this, and it is so vain to die, but many times fate is helpless.

At this moment, the White Crow City has completely turned into purgatory, because of fear, Hollins subconsciously wanted to draw a stigma on his chest, but he raised his hand halfway before he remembered that they had been abandoned by the church, and it seemed that there was no point in praying to the gods now, at this moment, Hollins faintly heard a cry for help from the opposite street, judging from the sound, the person asking for help should be a little girl about ten years old, her mother was attacked by a monster.

The chubby sheriff hesitated, now he was left alone in the Frog Tavern, Warren and the others were not there, he was probably no match for those monsters, but then he heard the girl's cry for help, the voice was very poignant, Hollins gritted his teeth, and finally stood up with the uninjured leg.

His face flushed, as if he was ashamed of his previous cowardice, and he rushed out of the gate with a roar, and regardless of whether he could beat the other party or not, he charged in the direction from which the sound came, but Hollins did not seem to have good luck tonight, and he had just run two steps out when he was knocked out by a frightened military horse.

The last image in Hollins' memory was of the burning Crow City.

The sheriff thought that this was also the last picture of his life, but when he opened his eyes again, he saw a bowl of roast meat, and Hollins's tears immediately flowed, he had only drunk two sips of water since the beginning of the war, and although he had dry food with him, his mouth was always dry under extreme stress, and he couldn't eat those dry foods at all.

He didn't feel hungry under the threat of death before, but now he couldn't care so much, and Hollins didn't even care if he was dead or alive now, he just wanted to eat the bowl of meat.

And just as the sheriff was devouring the meat, the door of his room was pushed open, and when Hollins looked up and saw the comer, his movements suddenly froze, and he forgot to close the half of the meat in his mouth.

"Sorry we're late. The man spoke, apologizing.

Hollins' expression turned cold, "Didn't you leave a few days ago?"

The sheriff could not have imagined that the person who saved him was Dinah, the branch president of the Wizards Association of Raven City, who disappeared with the people of the church on the eve of the monster siege, how did he save himself?

Dinah explained, " At that time, I received an urgent order from the Council, requiring me to secretly evacuate all the magicians in Raven City from the northern realm within three days, and as soon as we left Raven City, we were temporarily placed under house arrest in the palace of the Duke of Morton, but it happened that there were also magicians I knew in that place, and with his help I escaped with some of the magicians of the guild, but by the time we rushed back, it was too late, we only rescued seven people except you, and the teleportation array was also destroyed halfway, and we lost half of our men in order to kill them from the inside。 ”

Despite Dinah's understatement, as someone who had fought with those monsters, the sheriff knew that the Crow City chapter had paid a huge price to save eight people, including him, and that it would not be easy to kill the countless monsters from which it would not be easy.

After listening to the female magician's explanation, Hollins's resentment towards the magicians of the Raven City branch has almost dissipated, and Dinah and these people are just carrying out the orders above, and they don't know what will happen before, but they didn't deliberately leave the people in the city and run away by themselves.

There are not many magicians in the north, most of them are born and raised in the local area, and some of them have returned to their hometowns after going out to study, and they also have a deep affection for this land, so the Magicians Association will temporarily put them under house arrest after the withdrawal of this group of people in order to avoid accidents.

Dinah doesn't regret going back, she regrets not being able to save more people, and in order to avoid being tracked down by the Council, Dinah has placed the eight remaining survivors of the Battle of Raven City in a remote manor, and intends to change their identities later.

However, neither Dinah nor Hollins would have been aware of the far-reaching implications of this incident at this moment, and in the eyes of later historians, the small incident that happened in the City of Crows that night was even more important than the change of pope in the church at the same time.

And all of this, if traced back, is because of the choices Rob made on Mitchell's Magic Tower.
