That evening, because of the priest's arrival, everyone gathered in the banquet hall in the center of the village to eat together.

Bruce was assigned to the table with the priest because of his age.

Once everyone was seated, the priest opened his arms, closed his eyes, and began to give thanksgiving as usual: "Thank you God the Father! Give us food and water, the Lord of mercy, Hallelujah..."

This well-known pre-dinner prayer made an ordinary meal, with the blessing of the priest, the best time to thank God and communicate with him.

With God's guidance, Baron Tomato was able to make such a wise decision not to let the refugees ruin everything in his territory...

“... In the name of Heavenly Father, Amen! ”

When the prayer was over, everyone opened their eyes, picked up the utensils and began to eat.

...

Just in the middle of dinner, the sound of the sword unsheathed outside sounded again, and the ensuing shouting of killing made some people stop their movements.

When the priest arrived in the center of the village, he began to wonder what was going on...

Along the way, almost all of them were exhausted refugees, and very few villages survived from it, and as long as they encountered such unreasonable refugee groups, no village could escape, and the same is true for cities!

The passing [Munibaurd] and his own [Hamburg City] are like this, and in the end they all become purgatory on earth...

Listening to the shouts outside, the captain of the garrison frowned, he clenched the weapon in his hand and went to the window to check.

Pushing open the window, he found the soldiers and militiamen cleaning up the bodies.

In order to confirm the specific situation, the captain made a heart and shouted, "Hey! Jack! ”

"Jack, your sister! My name is Johnson! I've known each other for more than 20 years, did you mean it? ”

Hearing this reply, the captain of the garrison breathed a sigh of relief, the deputy captain standing guard was none other than his old friend!

The crisis was lifted, and the captain let go of his frowning brow and continued to go back to eat.

Outside the door, several soldiers standing guard at night looked at the scale of the corpses of the refugees in front of them, and had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

A soldier dropped his bladed iron sword and replaced it with a long-handled battle axe: "Deputy Captain, there were at least thirty refugees just now, should we call the people who are eating?" ”

The vice-captain's weapon was also blunt, he picked up a big knife and hung it on his waist and responded: "No, if there are more refugees coming, we will hide and wait until they are all poisoned before collecting the corpses!" ”

"That's good! I listen to you, vice-captain! ”

There are more and more people, and the plan has to be changed accordingly, but fortunately, a group of people have kept an eye on it and prepared a lot of poisons in advance, even if tens of thousands of people come tonight, there will be no problem.

...

Inside, Father Martin did not know about Baron Tomato's order to massacre the refugees, thinking that it was robbers who had been killed outside, so he put down the food in his hand, came to the captain of the garrison and asked, "Captain, what is going on?" ”

The captain didn't say much, because he knew that the priest in front of him would definitely not agree to his actions, so he took out the documents in his bag and handed them to him.

After Father Martin had read the entire document, his expression changed from bewilderment to shock, to helplessness, and then to calm.

"Hey... Now that the local church has unanimously approved this document, I am not in a position to say anything..."

Martin shook his head and ignored their actions, even if they were contrary to his own philosophy, and they had to be allowed to continue.

As the priest of Hamburg City, he has no right to care about what happened in Blackwater, and he only came here to take refuge when the city fell into disorder according to the rules of the church.

It has been more than 120 years since I took over the position of priest... Just after his 150th birthday, disaster struck, and as the priest of a city, he led by example by accepting refugees from the south as much as possible.

I thought that everyone would be properly resettled, but it turned out to be...

No matter how much food was stored before the war, it was always consumed faster than expected, and the number of refugees increased, and the final number even reached an uncontrollable level.

After consuming the last grain of grass, the people changed, and even the most devout believers abandoned all faith at this moment, became evil spirits, and changed the hunt targets to their own kind.

...

Even if the southern part of the country was in turmoil, there was no movement from the general church near the imperial city, and no matter how many heralds Martin sent out, he did not receive a single reply, let alone a bag of relief food.

In the end, everyone became desperate... They cursed God for damning, took a bite of Jesus Christ, and trampled under their feet all the faith they had promised before!

It was also at this moment that Father Martin began to wonder if God was asleep, or if he was going to punish these innocent people...

The longer he lived, the more Martin realized that something was not quite right around him, especially God.

More than 100 years of prayer experience has changed him from piety to coping, and he no longer works diligently every day, but lives a mixed life, even if he touches a fish while praying, and falls asleep while listening to the people's confessions, he has not been punished by God.

Not long ago, the city of Hamburg fell completely, and God did not come to save him, if he was angry because of the recent fishing, he was willing to accept the punishment, but according to the doctrine, he would be fined at most! There will be no such blood-light disaster!

And Martins didn't find a reason for God's wrath after thinking about it...

Since then, a great disrespectful thought has surfaced in my heart, and even the priest himself has not noticed it.

'Does God really exist?' ’

...

In the General Church, the Pope had already ordered that no matter where the distress letter came from, it would be treated as if he had not seen it, and that the messenger should be detained and not allowed to return to report it.

Because of the Pope's plan, all churches must conserve resources, especially food! Without the permission of the Pope, it is not allowed to be blended without permission.

This was the first step for the Grand Prince to ascend to the throne and the Pope to seize power soon after.

As for the lives and deaths of the refugees, almost no one in the imperial capital cared, the emperor did not care, the pope did not care, and only in all parts of the country, those priests who still foolishly believed in the existence of the true God would care.

At the beginning of the war, all the grain was taken away by the merchants, leaving only false accounts. Now, all this grain is safely stored in the granary in the rear, and there is no loss at all.

...

At the same time, in the city of [Munibai], it was still the leading madman, he found a square white cloth, and used his half-eaten brain to come up with an idea! He drew an abstract painting on it as a flag.

As for what it is, no one knows.

The people around him were also infected by this man's crazy courage, and they elected him as the new leader.

"Me! Serzan! Thank you... Hey, hey, hey... Affordable, from today... Hey, hey, hey... It's the new leader! I will... Hey, hey, hey... Take you to a new era and eat up those... Hey, hey, hey... Mankind! ”

Since he was one of the first maniacs to eat human flesh, he was now delirious, and he couldn't help but laugh maniacally every time he said a word.

Not far away, a necromancer in a black robe stood at the head of the city, stretched out his right hand and took out a token, and called: "Master, it won't be long before you can return to the mortal world, and when the time comes, you will surely lead us to glory!" I! Matthew! Swear by here that you'll get enough nourishment..."
