Chapter 56: The Situation is Critical

At the behest of Syreth, the militia who were temporarily used by Rilleth did not expect the wizard to give such a cruel order, but they finally took action. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ infoAnyway, they've long seen this "pie" as unpleasant. Anyway, the person who gave the order was a wizard. Since there is a chance to get rid of this group of people who are not good for Silres, and they can keep Silreth from the stain of "cruelty", why wouldn't they do it?

A dying wail suddenly sounded in the sloping wood, and after the piercing screams of despair there was a terrible silence, and then a new voice arose in the woodsโ€”the standing man began to take care of the lying man, but it was only handled without the slightest emotion, like a pack of wolves dragging and dividing its prey, like a fungus breaking down decaying leaves, all just to prevent the corpse from being exposed and provoking the plague.

At this moment, he lay in a pool of blood and looked up feebly, the sky peeking out of the branches did not turn gray as it should be, its blue was pure and charming, and the birds that flew by it.

He wasn't dead yet, he could feel the corpses around him being dragged away one by one, and he guessed that some people might just be immobile like him, but they couldn't avoid the fate of being disposed of. He was a little short of adulthood, his fear was even greater, and his body hurt, and then he saw the guy in the witch robe walking towards him.

The wizard looked younger than he was, but he had put an end to the lives of so many people with just words! He saw the wizard crouch down in front of him, and looked at him with a rare pair of purple eyes. What is this wizard going to do? Watch himself be killed by time or make up for it with a more deadly blow?

At this time, the wizard began to recite incantations, which he should not understand, but strangely, he understood them all.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep quietly. The wizard said.

"The pain is gone, and no one will cry anymore. โ€

For a moment, he felt that his vision was blurry, as if he was shrouded in a silver-white mist. He seems to have forgotten a lot, or abandoned a burden that he could no longer bear, and became as light as a bird......

Rarizzi stood up with a gloomy expression, and Shattered Star Arrow noticed that he seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet, and hurriedly walked over and stretched out his arm to him.

"I'm okay. Rarizzi shook her head.

"Why would they drag underage children into such a thing?" asked Lirezi, looking at the corpse.

At this moment, a militiaman came over, only to see him grab its ankle, and it seemed that it dragged it away without much effort, and this scene, the Shattered Star Arrow also noticed this scene.

The elf said indifferently, "You look like a child too. โ€

Rary sighed.

"It's time for us to make the next move. โ€

By the time Lirezi and his party returned to Nightingale Village, the otherwise peaceful village had been enveloped in a tense atmosphere. There were busy figures everywhere, some carrying sharp wooden stakes, and some were busy reinforcing the fence while shouting people...... The square, which had been filled with rudimentary tents, was even more chaotic, as villagers were moving patients to the village hall, and the empty tents were scattered in pieces. Seeing this, Lirizzi murmured as if he were talking to himself, "The Hider has returned." โ€

With that, he hurried forward as if he had tightened his clockwork.

The Broken Star Arrow, whose pace slowed down in thought of this sentence, was thrown away by Rillez for some distance in an instant, and when the elf finally connected Aura's return with the scene in front of him, he was stopped by two guards who came in a hurry.

"You're finally back!" one of the guards said in a respectful tone.

"Now that the village halls are vacated for the sick to take refuge, Syrith has asked us to be here to welcome you back. โ€

Lirezi nodded, then asked, "Where are you going?"

"Please come with me with this elf friend in the back. The guard turned and ran in one direction.

"The rest of the brothers and sisters come with me, I have important work to do!" the other guard waved to the rest of his entourage.

So, the group of people who had just returned to the village from the elven treasury split into two ways. The guard who led Rireth and the Shattered Star Arrow looked rough at first glance, and he ran along the way, not caring about the back. Shattered Star Arrow saw that Lirezi's expression became more and more bitter, but he forced himself silently, and hurriedly caught up with the guy who led the way.

"Did Ola come back with some bad news? The elf asked, grabbing the man's shoulder.

The guard sighed sadly.

"That girl wrote to Silres, I don't know what news she brought back, eh...... Well...... We don't have many literate people here. After reading what she had written, Hirres did not say anything, she only said that the situation was worse than she expected, and then said that the patients could not be left in the square, and in fact she asked us to vacate the cells for women and children. โ€

The guard's words couldn't help but confuse Shattered Star Arrow. What is Sirreth going to do in the square in the middle of the village, and why is it necessary to house women and children in prison cells? These questions are finally answered when the group arrives at the house where Sirris, Liadlin, and Ora gather.

Liadlin slapped a piece of bark on the table and shouted, "Drogris brought the ballista out against us? Ola, are you right? What is this going on? The old fox has forgotten what kind of place this is? This is a village in the heart of the jungle, and there are so many trees around! Is he going to smash the trunk with a ballista?"

Silreth rubbed her forehead and hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "I don't think Ola is a person who can lie. โ€

"I'm not suspicious of Ola. โ€œ

Liadlin looked at Ola apologetically, then turned to Syris and said, "It's just that Drogris is really incomprehensible to me, and his purpose should not be to kill all the people...... Or is he already insane?"

Ora pursed her lips and sighed inwardly, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe that Drogris would use a ballista against a forest village. Although all she saw were relatively light weapons, those things were things that could be used to attack the city, and it was overkill to attack this place, not to mention that it was quite laborious to carry them in the forest...... However, from another point of view, Drogris may have tried to psychologically destroy the Nightingale's faction.

"Little wizard, you're back!" Liadlin suddenly cried out, and the others turned around to see Rirez and Shattered Star Arrow, who had been standing in the doorway for a moment.

"What the hell is Dragoris doing, isn't he crazy?" asked Riadlin, anxiously. "You know, I don't have as much control over the overall situation as you do. โ€

"His intention was to drive people out of the village and voluntarily stand by his side. Rirezie said something simple.
