When the adults saw this, they were about to come forward to get their children back, but they heard the children shout, "If one day, these villains burst into our house and take me away, and everyone else watches and doesn't care like this, is that what you want to see?"

The children's words made the adults present look at each other, and after a short silence, several male neighbors who first stood up to speak stepped forward and said loudly: "The children are right, we have lived for decades in vain, and it is not as reasonable as a few children, today we will not help this orphan and widow, tomorrow when we are bullied by this gang of bastards, who will help us!"

Their words sent a wave through the streets, and many people took out sticks, brooms, and mops from their homes to share among their neighbors, and men approached Bacon and the others with weapons in hand, demanding that they let go of Carrie and her mother. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that the situation was not good, Bacon launched a ruthless attack, dragged Carrie in front of him, and shouted to more than a dozen of his subordinates: "Drive them away for me, whoever dares to stand in the way of Lao Tzu, let him enter with white knives and come out with red knives!"

Seeing this, Bacon's little hooligans brandished knives and rushed into the crowd, and the male neighbors brandished sticks to meet the indiscriminate beating, and the street fell into a scuffle for a while.

Seeing that his side was at a disadvantage, Bacon gritted his teeth and put the knife on Carrie's neck, bowed his head and said to her: "Little girl, let them stop and get out of the way, or I will kill you!"

Carrie couldn't help but let out a frightened scream, the scream made everyone around them stop and look in Carrie's direction together, Bacon saw this and yelled at the crowd: "Get out of the way, or I'll kill this little slut!"

Before the words fell, the little furball hiding on the eaves nearby suddenly recited a spell, only to see a flash of light, Carrie, who was held hostage by Bacon, and Lucy, who was standing behind Bacon, suddenly changed positions in the light, and the knife that was originally on Carrie's neck was pressed against Lucy's chest.

Bacon and Lucy couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and Carrie, who appeared behind Bacon, also looked shocked, and before the three of them could react, the little furball swooped down from the air, shrunk Carrie and grabbed her and flew into the air with her.

Bacon, who had lost the hostage, looked at Lucy in his arms in surprise, and didn't react for a moment what to do, when a man suddenly rushed out of the crowd and shouted while pounced on Bacon: "You bastard, let my daughter go!"

"Daddy!?" Lucy looked at her father in surprise, she didn't expect that his father would come out to look for her late night, and before she could open her mouth to explain the situation to her father, Lucy's father had already pulled her out of Bacon's arms and pushed her aside, and punched Bacon in the face.

Faced with this strange man who suddenly rushed in front of him, Bacon didn't know who he was, and he didn't have time to understand the meaning of his words, only to see him punch himself, he subconsciously swung his knife and stabbed it, and the blade hit Lucy's father in the chest.

"No, Daddy!" Lucy let out a heart-rending exclamation, and seeing the blood stain his father's chest, Lucy's father shook his body and fell backwards.

Looking at Lucy, who was crying and crying on his father's body, Bacon was completely panicked, and at this time, with a commotion in the crowd, Sheriff Hurt rushed in with a large group of soldiers, and when he saw Lucy's father lying on the ground, he couldn't help but gasp.

After inquiring about the situation with Carrie's mother and daughter and the surrounding neighbors, Sheriff Hurt ordered the soldiers to bring Bacon's gang and Lucy and her father's bodies back to the law enforcement office.

Seeing the sheriff take people away, Carrie gratefully hugged Lilith and said, "Lilith, you saved me again, thank you, the world needs a hero like you!"

"I'm not a hero!" Lori shook her head, pointed behind her and said, "They're heroes." ”

Carrie looked back in the direction she was pointing, and when she saw her neighbors with her mother, all looking at her with satisfaction, Carrie smiled gratefully and bowed deeply to them.

"Actually, the real heroes are the children. A male neighbor smiled and touched his son's head and said, "If it weren't for their courage to stand up and say that, we probably wouldn't have had the courage to protect others, and I'm glad we did." ”

"Miss Lilith taught us to do this!" cried the children.

Everyone turned their eyes to Lilith, and little Lori looked at Carrie unhurriedly and smiled: "I should thank everyone here tonight, what this world needs is not heroes, but everyone to help others!"

The people present all showed a smile of approval, and at this time, at the corner of the street, Rogge, who was dressed in a black cloak, disappeared in the shadows of the night, and looked at this scene with Catherine and smiled: "The little villain has handled it well, so that we can leave the imperial capital with confidence." ”

Before Catherine could reply, a dimensional gate suddenly cracked behind the two of them, and the lamp god leaned out half of his body from it and said, "Both, Captain Antonio and Miss Tali asked me to ask you to go back, there was an accident in the reconnaissance work in the dark hills, and the expedition plan was hindered. ”

Rogge and Catherine immediately followed the Lantern God back to the Knights of the Silver Dragon's Wings on the east side of the Imperial Palace, and met Antonio and Tali at Antonio's command post.

"What's wrong?" Rogge asked, his gaze panning back and forth over Antonio and Tali's faces.

"Things were different from what we had expected. Antonio invited the two of them to sit down at the large circular conference table in the council chamber, and he and Tali sat down opposite them, saying, "Originally, we planned to use the dimensional passage to teleport the two groups to the Dark Hills and then to the Shadow Fortress, but now it doesn't seem to be working. ”

"Let me guess," Rogge asked, looking thoughtfully at Tali, "Did William create some kind of barrier on the border of the dark hills, like Prince Gurman's castle, so that the god of lights could not use the dimensional passage to pass through?"

"It's worse than that," Tali said, shaking her head worriedly, "In order to find out what was going on in the Dark Hills, Antonio sent a team of scouts to teleport to the Dark Hills through the dimensional passage, and the Lantern God succeeded in opening the passage, but everyone who had teleported disappeared as soon as they left the passage. ”
