At Blackbear Castle, a group of peasants killed three guards, claiming to be apostate - but no one knew if they were really apostates, or if they just wanted to evade taxes or steal some money from the guards.

Things have intensified, and since the slaughter of the Earl of Blackbear Castle at Midsummer's Day, this small princely land has not been peaceful. The knights of the realm forcibly abducted the villagers and demanded them to join the defense - in fact, forcing them to join the rebellion, the fields were burned, the women were ***** homeless, and the children starved to death on the side of the road.

In this case, the peasants who killed the guards were considered heroes, and the people declared that they wanted to follow them and stormed the city in an attempt to burn down the Knights' Promenade.

They are like swarms of carnivorous fish, biting their prey everywhere and soon provoking bigger monsters.

After the failure of the southern crusade, the renegade became a sensitive word, and in the slightly bustling city, anyone suspected of being an infidels would immediately be labeled as a renegade, and then the inquisition would drain their blood.

The peasants of Fort Black Bear have drawn the Inquisition to this remote town, where the shadow of death has loomed over the people of the former exploiters while they are still excitedly looting the property of their former exploiters.

Except for the nobles and knights of the realm, the Inquisition did not spare any living people, and as long as they could move, they were all put on makeshift gallows.

There was no inquisition in the small territory, only a small chapel and a few friars, and the gallows were placed in the square where the sanctuary was liturgy, which was later called "Louis Scarlet".

Whether people had participated in the riots or not, whether they were screaming and begging for repentance, whether they were women, the elderly, or children, they were all put on the torture table.

The jury strictly enforced the procedure, and the killing lasted seven days, most of them kneeling on the execution table, and the last words were: "Forgive me, true God!"

Their heads rolled to the ground, blood vanishing without a trace, but their eyes were staring at the gray sky.

Eventually, 2,300 people were executed, and the Black Bear Castle became a ghost town, where even the nobles fled for refuge, and the Knights of the Territory abandoned the walls they were guarding.

A similar situation spreads like a plague.

Beggars, outcasts, slaves, and the pauper ignited the flames of rebellion and began to steal, rob, and kill those who had enslaved them.

More people from the bottom took to the streets, claiming to be apostates following the truth - some of them were true, and Pariwa's victory was like a clarion call for an attack, ready to die for their faith. More are speculators, who live like worms at the bottom of the empire and now seize an opportunity to climb to the ground.

The local nobles, especially the lords of the south, raised the banner of overthrowing the king, and under the banner of Paliwa or rebels, they plundered neighboring city-states, and occupied fortresses and lands.

Like a colony of bacteria that suddenly appeared, "heretics" suddenly became ubiquitous - most of them were civilians, who were thrown into the Inquisition if they behaved suspiciously or were convicted of secrets. The Inquisition will condemn them for blasphemy, and then their blood will flow into the ground.

The Templars patrolled everywhere, and more joined the makeshift Templar Guards, who were petty nobles or wealthy freedmen who searched for suspicious people or "blasphemers" who did not follow the rules of the law, who loved to listen to the informants and capture the so-called "heretics" and present them to the Inquisition.

The streets were under martial law, and even freedmen who walked alone during the day would be suddenly dragged away and declared guilty.

Every Sunday, the gallows was lined with sinners awaiting execution, their heads covered so that their wails could not be heard. A steady stream of arrested people boarded the gallows, and the knife gate quickly fell on their necks, like chickens in a slaughterhouse.

The former peace is no longer visible, as if the swamp has been overturned, and the stench that was originally hiding in the underground of the empire suddenly gushes out, suffocating.

But in the midst of this desolation, there is still a place of peace. In the past, people avoided Paliwa like a plague, but now this land without a temple or power has become a paradise that everyone yearns for.

Criminals, outcasts, wounded soldiers, infidels, slaves...... All of them flocked to the city of Paliva.

On this day, a group of robbers came to the walls of Paliva, and they saw a young man in a gray robe, sitting on a stone block by the avenue of atonement.

"Hey, we've come to the lord, and I've heard that he can give us land. The crowd shouted.

"Your Excellency is busy, you can find the guards here, and they will lead you to a place to stay. "It was Odin Diggs who spoke, and several criminals did not know his identity.

"Hank, this beggar is giving us a face. A murderer with a scar on his face said.

"Oh, Mike, we'll have to give him some color, it doesn't look like the poor guy has any money on him, but let's do a search. Another thin pale man replied.

"Everyone is welcome to join in the city of Paliwa. I'm sure my lord doesn't care about the sins you've committed before, and he doesn't care if you've killed someone. There are no Imperial soldiers, no templars, no Inquisitions, just obey the law and swear an oath of obedience, and I'm sure you'll be treated well. ”

Odin smiled at the murderers.

"Is this ruined city-state noble? just a poor corner abandoned by the Empire. Hank spat at Odin, and a flame ignited in front of the Grey-robed Warlock, turning the spit into steam.

Several of the thugs were a little worried in their hearts, they had heard terrible rumors about the city of Paliva, but they had not thought that ordinary people they met casually on the side of the road could also use spells.

"Hank, what are you afraid of, he insults us, we will use our fists against him. Scarface, named Mike, said angrily, and rushed forward with a few thugs.

Still smiling, Odin waved his hand at the few who rushed at him.

They had not taken a few steps before a dark red flame began to erupt at their feet, and although the flames seemed faint and faltering, it was impossible for them to leave alive as soon as they touched them.

At this time, several city guards finally arrived at the city gate, pulled down several of the murderers, and hit them in the head and stomach with their elbows and fists respectively, the murderers were caught off guard and rolled on the ground in pain, and the soldiers removed the daggers from their hands and tied them up.

"Mr. Diggs, I'm so sorry we're late. The guards bowed to Odin in silence.

"You saved their lives. Do what you do. Odin patted the dust off his robes and sat down again. (To be continued.) )
