At midnight, a roaring bonfire illuminates the dark square.

Tens of thousands of poor people lined up in the night.

Loren, the captain of the guard, held a long barbed whip in his hand and spoke fiercely. "Give me all the coins I received, and if anyone dares to keep them privately, then ask me about the whip in my hand first!"

"I think it should be twelve silver coins!" Loren sneered.

The poor people present looked at each other, and it took a long time for a ragged poor man to speak cautiously. "Lord Loren, are you mistaken, it should be ten silver coins...... right?"

After the previous wizards occupied the town, they carried out a purge, hanged a large number of nobles and bullies who were usually evildoers, and distributed most of the confiscated goods.

Each pauper was given ten silver coins as compensation for exploitation and enslavement by the nobility......

Although shamans have become synonymous with evil under the propaganda of the church, in the face of the real temptation of money, most of the poor people who live in poverty still accept it.

"You're trying to fool me?" A sinister smile tugged at the corners of Loren's mouth, and he jerked the whip in his hand and slammed it towards the pauper.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the hapless poor man suddenly screamed miserably, and his cheeks were high and swollen.

"I said twelve, that's twelve!" Loren snorted coldly, and then whipped down again, and the hapless pauper fell to the ground in pain, trembling all over.

Loren stared at the terrified gazes of the rest of the paupers, and his heart was filled with joy, those damned wizards had plundered every noble manor, and his Loren family was no exception.

What made him even more incomprehensible was that the wizards had distributed a large amount of treasure to these pariahs!

Loren thinks that there must be some kind of poor people who secretly collude with wizards and secretly report the news to get these rewards, otherwise who would be afraid of having more money?

In view of this, Loren reported the collusion of these poor people with wizards to the Bishop, and obtained the right to punish these poor people, get back the plundered wealth, and was ready to give these rebels a little color, and the extra two silver coins were punishment!

Under Loren's threat, the lords who dared not speak out had no choice but to hand over what they had their finances.

Those who can't pay enough money will be beaten badly!

It may not seem like much to pay two more silver coins, but most of the poor people are already destitute, and this undoubtedly kills them......

One of the paupers, who could not even pay a single penny, as the most devout believer of the Lord, firmly believed that the sorcerers must have done some kind of evil sorcery on money, so he did not receive compensation at all......

However, Loren didn't care so much, he didn't believe that there would be anyone who didn't want to get the silver coins, and when he unfolded the whip, he would burst and pour all his anger on the wizards!

I completely forgot that half an hour ago, I was kneeling on the ground and begging for forgiveness from the presiding judge and the Holy Maiden......

In just one minute, Loren beat this devout disciple to death, and just as he was about to suck him to death and deter the rest of the poor people who wanted to lie, a fierce cannon fire suddenly came from outside the city!

The voice...... Is it artillery?

Loren shuddered, and a visceral fear came over him, for the same sorcerers had blasted open the fortified gates with that heavy cannon fire a few days earlier.

But how is this possible?

Didn't those wizards go in airships to attack the fire oil field?

This should be the head of the crusading army of the Holy See.

Could it be that the crusading army was defeated?

Loren was reluctant to believe this possibility, but soon saw hundreds of city guards fleeing in this direction, abandoning their armor and crawling.

"Run, it's the wizards, those wizards are back again!"

Several of the city guards shouted hoarsely, and then were knocked to the ground by a round of muskets.

Under the reflection of the moonlight and the campfire, thousands of wolf-like musketeers were approaching in the distance, and Loren was so angry that he immediately ordered the guards beside him to stop them, and he himself grabbed a war horse and planned to flee.

The enraged pauper, naturally not ready to watch Loren leave like this, pounced on him, dragged him off his horse, and then there was a flurry of punches and kicks, and even gnashing with his teeth and scratching his fingernails......

"Get out of here! You untouchables, when the Judge arrives, you will all be thrown into purgatory! Loren shouted in panic, but his guards had long since disappeared, and he alone could not resist the beating of the 'mob', and under the iron fist of justice, he soon fell silent.

By this time, the musketeers had already rushed to the square where the people had gathered, and the poor people were panicked and fearful and awaited the judgment of the wizards.

However, after the first Raeder understood what had happened, he directly asked Loren to collect the silver coins and distribute them back one by one, and the dying believers who had been whipped by the long whip were also treated.

However, after the physical injuries were healed by the demons, this devout believer seemed to be a little lost in his soul, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

The paupers who had received the coins again had a faint thought on their faces, full of disbelief.

It seems that under the rule of wizards, there is nothing bad about it.

At least no one would want to take away what little savings they had left.

After a surprise attack, the musketeers quickly regained control of the city.

The crusading army was busy pursuing, and the forces left behind to defend after the capture were very weak, so they paid few casualties.

"Dean Lynn really expected ......," Raeder couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the battle of Noon, they lost a lot of artillery and armored vehicles, and brought nearly 3,000 wounded soldiers, and it was obviously not an appropriate move to go head-to-head with the crusading army of the Holy See.

But it is also difficult to evacuate, there are only more than 100 airships, and it is impossible to take everyone away.

Therefore, Lynn proposed to hide the main force outside the city, and then create the illusion that they were going to grab the fire oil in an airship, and lure the crusaders of the Holy See away.

When the crusading army leaves and the enemy lets down their guard, they will come back and even take the unguarded city of oil in one fell swoop!

According to Dean Lynn's words, they used the tactics of empty city, attacking the enemy and saving them, secretly crossing Chen Cang, and diverting the tiger from the mountain!

So much so that many wizards are curious about what exactly this magic star did before he arrived in the wizarding land?

Could it be that he is a great lord of the empire, otherwise how could he know so many tactical skills.
