Chapter Ninety-Four: The Scales of Survival
readx;? The sudden news broke Lopez's psychological defenses in an instant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info although these days, he has tried hard to forget, to forget everything that has happened in the past. Of course, that was after learning that his sister was not dead, but only missing.
He knew that if he wanted to become stronger, he couldn't be tied up by these things.
"Lord Antonis, are you telling the truth?" Lopez asked, holding up his hand and holding up one last bit of expectation.
Antonis pursed his lips and said, "Although we found out that this is an extremely rare female demon, our knowledge of her is almost the end of it. We haven't heard anything other than that she looks like a human and isn't as ugly as a demon. ”
"Tell me, sir, tell me where she is, I'm going to find her!" Lopez cried out loudly, the eagerness in his voice that could be heard by everyone.
Alatina was the only one who was still confused, and she asked, "Hey, what's going on, why is it all of a sudden?"
"Think about the disappearance of the woman who was close to Lopez. Antonis reminded.
Alatina thought for a moment, looked at Lopez's face, and suddenly, "Ha!" Surprised, he said, "No, is that really the case?"
"In fact, from the point of view of intelligence combination, it is indeed like this. Antonis confirmed Alatina's suspicions.
"Oh my God..."Alatina's eyes turned into sympathetic looks.
Antonis didn't speak, and when Lopez calmed down, he raised his head before pointing to the map behind him and said, "This is where the female demon last appeared on intelligence." ”
"Akramaba?" came out of Lopez's mouth, the name of the town on the map.
So Antonis continued, "Yes, the last place the demons attacked was this town, O Kramaba. This town is not small, it is already a large and medium-sized town like this. After this attack, the most likely places in the vicinity to be attacked.... Actually, this is it. ”
"This town at our feet. ”
"Oh my God.."
"No..."
The news caused Lopez and Alatina to exclaim because the town was not a military fortress and not all of them were soldiers. Most of the people in this city are ordinary people who want to kill them.
Although they can bully and bully the disciplined paladins, but against the demons, that is, Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable. Not to mention the common people, even the Paladin Academy reconnaissance team that came here can't say if it will be able to withstand the demonic attack after the enchantment is shattered. All in all, once the fighting began, the people here were the victims of the battle. Each and every one of them will fall into the claws of the devil.
Thinking of such an outcome, Lopez didn't care about anything else, and shouted at Antonis: "Lord Antonis, we must evacuate the civilians immediately!"
After saying this, he pulled Alatina and ran outside.
Antonis sighed and said, "Hey... I knew you would. That's why I'm calling you here..."
With a wave of his hand, the energy was transmitted to the gate, causing it to close before the two men arrived.
"Mr. Antonis, what's going on?" Lopez turned his head and asked Antonis in a loud voice.
Even Alatina looked at him with a puzzled expression, and almost questioned as loudly as Lopez.
"We can't afford to start. ”
"But, they're ordinary civilians!" Lopez asked.
"Even if they were ordinary civilians, so what? Are they chasing you? Are they trying to kill you?" It seems that something must have happened to him before, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
"Lord Antonis, we're paladins!" Lopez uttered the most anxious sentence yet...
Antonis was silent, he was speechless. And Lopez and Alatina just stared at him and didn't bother him.
After a while, Antonis finally spoke, and he said, "Sometimes, we need to sacrifice something in exchange for the survival of more people. ”
"That, you, you know?"
Got it?
This is a very serious question.
It is a mistake to be reasonable and mercilessly abandon the civilians outside. It is an absolute violation of the faith of the paladins! After all, there is a clause in the knightly code to protect the weak.
However, if Antonis doesn't care, let Lopez and Alatina go out into the streets to spread the word. Let's not talk about whether they will be believed, if they do, it will be a surprise. At this stage, Antonis can be sure that the demons have not noticed their movements, so he can catch the enemy by surprise when they attack.
And once exposed...... The demons were able to send so many troops to assist the female demon, and more demons were able to cross the line to get here. You know, the kingdom's defense line is not an airtight defense line like the Great Wall, but a defense line composed of fortresses and enchantments.
Such a defensive line is very good at blocking frontal attacks, but it is almost powerless against sporadic penetration. This is also why people outside the Imperial City envy the people of the Imperial City, they don't have to worry about waking up the next day with a demon watching you.
Therefore, for the sake of most people and for himself, Antonis, as the god of the battlefield, made the most theoretically correct decision in the shortest possible time by weighing the pros and cons.
Although it's not very acceptable, if you think about it, it's really the best way to do it.
As for violating the faith?
In this world, apart from true fanatics, there are very few people who really have a firm faith. Even though all that flows through them is the power of the Light.
But the vast majority of people still share the same faith. It is not a belief in the Light, because the Light is used by people and does not create a sense of awe. It's more of a hatred that pushes people who share that hatred to unite.
Yes, that is hatred of demons.
It is impossible for a race like human beings, which is good at infighting, to unite without going through war. He doesn't accept anyone, of course, it is impossible for you to listen to you when you are right.
Human beings need not a great leader, but a common enemy!
Lopez sat helplessly in a corner of the room. From his eyes, Antonis could see that it was the result of a collapse of faith. Antonis has also experienced this, but he is younger.
"Just wait here...... Alas......"
