A small border town in the Dolores Empire, although it was not rich before it was burned down, it was always the first small city full of happiness that could ensure that the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Because this is far away from the city of glory, the capital of the Dolores Empire, many of the instructions of the Dolores Empire cannot be conveyed to this small city in time, even if it is transmitted, the original meaning will change greatly, in fact, these things are not so troublesome for the civilians who live here, the people who live here just love this land, they love their hometown, even if they encounter a lot of injustice, even if many things here are not as good as other big cities, But as long as you love this land, what are these things?

Until the demon returns to the Ark continent again, the original peaceful and happy rhythm of life here has been broken.

Because it is far away from the capital, whether it is the garrison or weapons and other equipment conditions are not good enough, as the lord of this small border city, he issued a decree from a certain day:

No one is allowed to go out from now on to avoid being attacked by demons.

Because of the many battles with demons, humans have discovered a weakness of demons, that is, low-level demons do not seem to have the ability to think for themselves, they only act with the consciousness of beasts, and all humans who appear in their eyes will be attacked by them like crazy, but if humans hide in their homes, then they will always wander the streets, and finally find that there is no target to attack before leaving.

Because this small border city is small and far away, only a few remnants of low-level demons will come here.

After the city lord issued the decree, at first there would be people who would try to sneak out at night, because the vegetables in their vegetable field had not been watered and cared for several days, and if they did not go to the vegetable field, then their family would definitely starve to death this year. Some people are in a hurry to see a doctor, because the pain in their body is so unbearable that he can only take the risk and sneak to the doctor's door to try his luck. Some people may succeed, but the vast majority of people will inevitably end up in prison.

As more and more people tried to sneak out, the lord continued to issue edicts, ordering the soldiers to nail up all the doors of these people's homes, and then deliver food to every house every three days, believing that if he persisted, he would definitely save the town from the slaughter of monsters.

At first, it was okay, although the people kept complaining, but life was always passable, although the food sent by the city lord was not delicious, but it was always able to fill the stomach. But one month is okay, two months is okay, half a year, a year?

More and more people have psychological problems, more and more people are starting to go crazy, they don't have any income, they are locked up at home without any entertainment, they start banging their heads on their doors, they start crying and screaming at home, but no one can help them open the door.

At first, some people tried to commit suicide, and then more and more people couldn't bear it anymore and chose to end their lives at home, for these people who gave up their lives, even if they were not killed by demons, they would one day starve to death.

The farmer's land has become overgrown and can no longer be planted. The merchant's goods have all deteriorated and damaged, and who will compensate for their losses? The tavern business has been closed for months, but the lord of the castle still collects land taxes, how can everyone live?

Finally, on a seemingly quiet night, the last fuse that sparked the anger in the hearts of the people was lit.

When a family's house suddenly caught fire, their doors had already been nailed to the ground, and the family had to be burned alive in the house in a way that was comparable to the most appalling form of torture. And the layout of this house is still connected with several other houses, one house was destroyed by fire, so several houses were implicated, and finally nineteen people were burned alive in the house, and the residents on the opposite side of the fire scene had to watch this scene, and had to use their ears to listen to the cries and helpers of those who were about to be burned to death.

"Help! Someone open the door! ”

"Please! Save my child! He's only three years old! ”

When several houses were burned to ashes, these people finally could not suppress the anger in their hearts, at first a few people forcibly demolished the gates of their homes, and then they helped more people to open their doors, and the whole town began to march in the streets, they came to the fortress of the city lord, demanded that the city lord give them back their freedom, and gave an explanation to the nineteen people who were burned to death by the fire.

Under pressure, the city lord had to agree to everyone's request, the city lord said that he was also thinking about everyone's lives, but he didn't expect this to happen, but because the nineteen people's sense of self-protection was too poor, they didn't use a wet cloth to seal their door cracks and windows, so before the soldiers broke down the door and saved them, they had been smoked to death by poisonous smoke at home.

Naturally, the inhabitants would not listen to this statement, but under the pressure of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers under the lord of the city, they still returned to their homes in a huff, in any case, the nineteen names were not lost in vain, they exchanged for the freedom of other residents, the freedom of life, the freedom of life.

Although this small border city still did not resist the attack of the demons in the end, and all the people in the city finally died in this small city, but no one's face showed the fear of death, they used their lives to protect this homeland, to protect the land they loved, and the city lord fought to the last moment like every citizen.

It's a small city without a name, and almost no one knows their story, but every time the breeze gently blows through this land, the rain gently washes this beloved land, the cries of countless people buried in the land, and the countless lives sacrificed to protect this place, it will resonate with all things in nature.

Most people follow instructions and obey the law, but if either of the two parties goes too far, there will be some misunderstandings or even escalation misunderstandings, but I believe that in fact, people at both levels will eventually stand together, and they have only one purpose, which is to make their lives better.
