Duke of Herrington

Chapter 94 What happened in various places

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

Because of his young age, Bruce was assigned to the table with the priest.

After everyone was seated, the priest opened his arms, closed his eyes, and began to thank the meal as usual: "Thank you, Father God, for giving us food and water, the merciful Lord God, Hallelujah"

This well-known prayer before meals turned the otherwise mediocre meal into the best moment to thank God and communicate with him under the blessing of the priest.

With God's guidance, Baron Tomato could make such a wise decision and not let the refugees destroy everything in the territory.
".In the name of the Father, Amen!"

After the prayer was over, everyone opened their eyes, picked up the tableware and started eating.

Just in the middle of the dinner, the sound of the sword being unsheathed outside sounded again, and the ensuing shout of killing caused some people to stop their movements.

Since the priest came to the center of the village, he began to doubt the situation here
Along the way, there were almost exhausted refugees, and few villages survived. As long as they encountered such unreasonable refugee groups, any village would be doomed, and so would the cities!

The passing [Munibai] and my own [Hamburger City] were like this, and in the end they all became purgatory on earth.
Hearing the sound of killing outside continued, 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 soldiers and militiamen cleaning up the bodies.

In order to confirm the specific situation, the captain played tricks and shouted: "Hey! Jack!"

"Your sister, Jack! My name is Johnson! We've known each other for more than 20 years. Did you do it on purpose?"

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 over, and the captain let go of his frown and went back to eat.

Outside the door, a few soldiers standing guard at night looked at the size of the refugee corpses in front of them, and had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

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

The deputy captain's weapon was also blunt. He picked up a big knife and hung it on his waist to respond: "No, if there are more refugees coming, we will hide and wait until they are all poisoned to death before collecting their bodies!"

"That's good! I listen to you, deputy captain!"

There are more and more people, and the plan has to be changed accordingly. Fortunately, everyone has been careful and prepared a lot of poison in advance. Even if tens of thousands of people come tonight, there will be no problems.

Inside the house, Father Martin didn't know that Baron Tomato ordered the massacre of refugees, and thought that the one killed outside was a robber, so he put down the food in his hand, came to the captain of the defense and asked, "Captain, what's going on? "

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

After Father Martin read the entire document, his expression changed from doubt to shock, and finally became helpless, and then returned to calm.

"Hey, since the local church has unanimously approved this document, it's inconvenient for me to say anything."

Martin shook his head and ignored their actions. Even if this behavior ran counter to his own ideas, he could only let them continue.

As the priest of [Hamburg City], he has no right to control what happened in Heishui City, and he only came here to seek refuge when the city fell into disorder in accordance with the church's regulations.

It has been more than 120 years since he took over the post of priest. Just after his 150th birthday, disaster struck. As a priest in a city, he set an example and tried his best to accept refugees from the south.

I thought that everyone would be properly resettled, but the result was.
No matter how much food was stored before the war, it was always consumed faster than expected. There were more and more refugees, and the final number even reached an uncontrollable level.

After consuming the last grain, the people changed. Even the most devout believers abandoned all their beliefs at this moment, became evil spirits, and replaced their hunting targets with those of the same kind.

Even if the chaos in the south became like this, the main church next to the imperial city did not move at all. No matter how many messengers 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 to be damned, took a mouthful of Jesus Christ, and trampled all the faith they had promised before!

It was also at this moment that Father Martin began to doubt whether God was falling asleep, or whether he wanted to punish these innocent people.
The longer he lives, the more Martin finds that something is not quite right around him, especially God.

More than 100 years of prayer experience have made him change from pious to coping. He no longer works hard every day, but just dawdles. punish.

Not long ago, the city of Hamburg fell completely, and God did not come to rescue him. If he was offended by the fishing incident not long ago, he was willing to accept punishment, but according to the doctrine, he would be fined at most!There will be no such bloody disaster!
And after thinking about it, Martin couldn't find a reason for God to be angry.
From then on, a disrespectful thought emerged from the bottom of my heart, even the priest himself did not notice it.

'God, does it really exist? '

In the main church, the Pope had already issued an order that no matter where the distress letter came from, they should be treated as if they hadn't seen it, and the messengers would be detained directly, and they would not be allowed to report back.

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

This is the first big move for the Pope to seize power when the First Prince succeeds in the near future.

As for the life and death of the refugees, almost no one in the imperial capital cared, neither did the emperor, nor did the pope, and only those priests who still foolishly believed in the existence of the true God in all parts of the country would care.

At the beginning of the war, all the food was taken away by the merchants, leaving only false accounts.Now, the grain is safely stored in the granary at the rear without any loss.

At the same time, in the city of [Munibai], there was still the leading lunatic, 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 that was, no one knew.

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

"I! Selzan! Thanks to everyone. Hehehe. You can see that from today. Hehehe. I am the new leader! I will...hehehe. Take you to a new era and eat up those hehehe. Humans!"

Since he was one of the first batch of lunatics who cannibalized human flesh, he is already insane, and he can't help but laugh out loud every time he says a word.

Not far away, a necromancer in a black robe stood at the top of the city, stretched out his right hand and took out a token, calling out: "Master, you will be able to return to the mortal world in a short time. It will definitely lead us to glory! I, Matthew! I swear here, you will definitely get enough nourishment.”
