Chapter Seventy-Six: The Man of Sin

But what happened after that surprised everyone, and instead of developing as they expected, the wind and sand not only did not disappear, but became bigger and bigger.

It used to come once every three months, but now it comes once a month, and the king is very worried, but there is no solution at all, after all, it is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.

Darkness hung over the heads of every citizen of Shacheng, and more and more people went to pray every day, but it had no effect at all.

Although the wind and sand affect people's lives, after all, they have experienced more than a year of wind and sand, life needs to go on, and people are still the same as before.

Later, something even more terrifying happened, and one day the man who went out said that he had seen a monster that was scorched with fire all over his body, his skin was wrinkled, and blood was oozing out.

The man was startled, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and as soon as his legs went limp, he fell to his knees.

He only knows one of the adults who have been scorched recently, and that is the queen.

"Your Highness, don't blame me! I am not the one who killed you, if you want to find them, go to them!"

The man's voice trembled, and he kept kowtowing. Word by word, he begged the monster for mercy.

His ears were filled with the sound of creaking footsteps on the yellow sand, and the monster was getting closer and closer to him, and he was trembling harder and harder.

"Please, Your Highness, please don't kill me, I still have a mother to take care of in my family, my wife has just given birth, my children are still very young, they all need me." The man was prostrate on the ground, his head buried in the yellow sand.

The monster passed by him, did not stop, did not hurt him, but walked farther away.

When the footsteps faded away, until he could no longer hear them, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he was lying on the ground, his clothes wet with sweat.

He got up and stumbled back into the city, the first thing he did was to report to the guards.

"Guardsman! I saw a monster outside the city......" He told the guards everything he had seen, but the guards clearly didn't believe it.

"How is that possible? Are you talking nonsense? Did you know that lying to the guards is punishable," the guard said solemnly, frowning.

"I know, how could I have lied to you? But don't you think that the wind and sand have not stopped, because the sins have not yet been removed?" The man looked at the guard with a serious expression.

The guard pondered for a moment, and he was convinced by this reason, and he replied, "I'll report it to the sir."

He waved his hand to tell the man to leave as soon as possible, and when the man returned, he told his family and friends about it, and in an instant, the news spread among all the people of Shacheng.

This incident once again caused outrage among the people, and everyone thought that they had found the truth, and the monsters outside the city became another outlet for them.

They gave the monster a name called the Fire Man, and they didn't want to admit that it was their queen, and they didn't want to call him a monster.

They believed that if they burned a person, they should live for life, and that before and after death, they were burned with fire, burning every inch of their sins.

The man's friends came to his house to look for him and asked him to go with him outside the city, and they organized and planned an operation to put out the fire and burn people again, and give light to Shacheng.

The sinners did not die, the wind and sand of Sand City did not stop, and everyone involved in it was very angry, and they took weapons from their homes and went out of the city.

But they were very disappointed, and they went all the way to the oasis, but they did not see any burning people, and they were afraid of the wind and sand, and they did not dare to stay outside the city for too long.

So the people dispersed, and after searching for an hour near the oasis, but to no avail, they returned to the city in despair.

The leader comforted them: "It doesn't matter, the desert is so big, there is only one burning person, we can't find it once, we can go again, one day, we will catch the burning person back and ask the gods again."

This night,

All the people of Sand City fell asleep with anger.

The next day, they set off again, still to no avail.

In this way, they went for five days in a row, not to mention the burning of people, and there was no other figure on the entire desert.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

There were already some people who wanted to give up, and it was at this time that the king stepped in, and he summoned all the people to the square.

"My people, I just learned the news that the sinners are still ravaging Sand City instead of disappearing, and I can't bear to see this happen!"

"In three days, I will lead the guards outside the city to exterminate the wicked and return you to the Sand City a peaceful day, when you can also go together, let us protect our Sand City together!"

The people were cheering, and their hearts had confidence and courage again.

The three days were fast approaching, and the king was accompanied by hundreds of guards and the people who participated in the operation. and went out of the city together.

Perhaps because God knew that they were going to destroy the burners today, their journey was very smooth, and after leaving the city, they only walked for about a quarter of an hour, and then they saw a figure in the distance.

The man who had seen the burning man before was so shocked that he stopped and shouted, "That's the man!"

"How can you lose your temper in front of the king?" The captain of the guard stood up and scolded him.

"Your Majesty, I'm just too excited." The man fell to his knees at once, and he pleaded guilty to the king.

The king waved his hand, not paying much attention, and he turned back to everyone and said, "Ready, everyone, we will go and catch him at once!"

After leaning in, the burning man turned his back to them, and looked at the back, which indeed looked very much like the dead queen.

The king set his fingers on fire and scolded, "You sinner! Why don't you die yet! Your sins have not been burned out! We have not been forgiven by the gods, and the wind and sand in Sand City will not stop, and more people will be killed!"

"Today, we will arrest you once more, and you will pay for the sins you owe with your life, and you will be burned with fire in life and in death!"

The people were also very angry, and they shouted at the burning people, one higher and higher, one after the other.

As soon as the king beckoned, the guards behind him went up in unison, surrounded the burners, and with the guards coming forward, the people also began to move.

They stood beside the guards, and they also surrounded the burners in the middle, there was only one burner, but there were hundreds of them, and all of them were watching the burners in the middle.

"Die!"

"Die!"

Everyone shouted, but the burner stood silently, and the king beckoned again, and the guards, with their swords, slashed at the burner.

Unexpectedly, the burning man began to speak, and no one could understand what he was saying, but they did not stop.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the act of burning people received a lot of responses, and sounds began to be heard in all directions, and the sound was so loud that the shouts of the people were suppressed.

Everyone was stunned, they turned their heads nervously, and just happened to see that there were burning people around them.

Everyone was startled and began to slowly retreat.

At the sight of this, the king's pupils shrank, but he could not retreat, and he cried out, "All the iniquity has appeared! Just kill them all! Sand City will be able to regain its light!"

"Guards! Citizens! The future of Sand City is in your hands, take up the weapons in your hands and march on these guilty men!"

The king's order could not be disobeyed, and the guards began to attack.

They rushed forward with their long swords, and the sharp long sword slashed at the wrinkled skin of the burning man, but it did not hurt them in the slightest, but because of the approach, the burning man stretched out his claws and slashed hard.

Blood was immediately seen on the guards, and they screamed so badly that the populace retreated.

The fire burns people more than sharp claws,

They bared their teeth, revealing their glittering fangs, and he pulled one of the guards past him and bit them down on the guard's neck, blood pouring out and spilling them all over the ground.

He was in front of everyone, devouring this guard, and this scene frightened everyone.

Everyone began to retreat and run, and the crowd of black clouds struck towards the sand city like black clouds one after another.

No one dared to turn back, their eyes were only Sand City, running their feet, and they could hear the fate of their slower companions behind them.

The shrill screams rang out incessantly, gnawing, swallowing, tearing, and so on, each of which made the hearts of those who heard them beat wildly.

The king was also in the midst of the fleeing crowd, and the guards surrounded him to keep him safe.

Everyone's faces were full of longing for life, sweat dripping down, blurring their vision, but they didn't care about it at all at this time, and no one dared to run to the last one.

Their enemies are not only the burning people, but also the companions around them, as long as they run faster than their companions, they have a better chance of survival.

The king stumbled into the gates, and the first thing he did when he entered was to order the guards to close the gates, and then he climbed the walls.

The people after him were all blocked from the walls, and they banged frantically on the gates, but received no response.

"Open the door! Open the door! Hurry up, you guards!"

"Your Majesty, please open the door! I don't want to die yet."

"There's a monster in the back, there's a fire burning people, they're coming soon, let us in!"

The knock on the door kept ringing, and the king on the city wall just watched it all indifferently, and he was glad that he had returned safely.

More and more people arrived, they really had no choice, they were going to break in, everyone rushed towards the city wall, and the wooden planks blocking the city gate behind were a little unbearable.

"Go and shut up the gates! They could not be let in, the burners were behind them, and they were forced to die, but they protected the rest of the city." The king ordered again.

The guards went to block the city gate, only one door away, on the left side of the gate were the people of Shacheng, and on the right side of the gate were the guards of Shacheng, one left and one right, one dead and one dead.

Not long after, the burners arrived, and when they saw the crowd of people left at the gate of the city, it was like a wolf seeing a sheep, and his eyes were shining, and his hands and feet were used together, and he bounced and pounced. new

They gnawed at the people, scraps of flesh and bones fell to the ground, and the smell of blood filled the entire sand city.

The king turned away and looked no further.

After an unknown amount of time, the screaming stopped, and all the burners wandering outside left, leaving only the remnants of corpses at the gates, and all the people who remained outside the city died.

All that has happened lately requires the king to give an account to the people and the guards in the city.

The king told the people who did not know the truth that the guilty man was the queen, and that the thief was not dead, and he came back with some burning people, wanting to hurt them, and hurt the sand city.

For the comfort of the people, he told them not to go out for the time being, but to stay at home, and he would continue to send his guards out to clean up the remaining burners.

At the same time, he continued to send people to strengthen the city walls to resist the more frequent wind and sand.

The people had no other choice, and they did whatever the king commanded.

They spent a while peacefully, but there was still one problem that remained unresolved, they were running out of food, and their food source was in the oasis outside the city.

There was food in the palace, but the king did not want to share it with the people, the king just wanted to eat it himself, and he hid in his palace every day and did not let anyone in.
