Best luck

Chapter 2172 Last hope shattered

() The situation was even worse the next day. Although Du Pont did not show up again, all the [-] black and white knights entered the city, followed by thousands of servants and civil servants. They were Du Pont before. The stewards and servants of various manors now have a larger area of ​​management, which is the entire city of Qizhou Port.

The black and white knights broke into a house in front and ransacked them, and these people followed behind to count and transport their belongings. An hour later, there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages heading out of the city, piled up with looted belongings.

The residents were driven to the street again, helplessly watching their homes being ransacked and emptied, hugging each other and weeping and crying, but they dared not make any resistance. Their fear of the black and white knights was not only superficial, but also It has penetrated into the soul, and the black and white knight deliberately still wears the battle robe stained with the blood of millions of people, just to keep this murderous aura alive and stimulate the Rakshasa fierceness deep in the spiritual consciousness of the residents.

It has the same control effect as the magic circle and dominoes, making the residents fear from the depths of their souls and dare not resist. Although this kind of control is not as stable as the magic circle and dominoes, it is more deterrent at this time.

Edward has always been there, but he can't stop such looting. He can only try his best to ensure that no one will die and important production tools will not be destroyed. Homes that have been ransacked.

Compared with the opponents with thousands of troops, he can't do it alone. The old man is really anxious this time, his hair is messy, his eyes are bloodshot, and he runs like a gust of wind, wishing to divide himself into tens of hundreds of thousands Come to help the residents in distress.

But obviously the effect of his running around was not good. Even those residents who were helped by him and returned home looked at him with indifference, without even a word of thanks. Instead, there was a trace of resentment in their eyes when they looked at him. They respected Edward and felt that he was omnipotent as the god of Qizhou Island, so they naturally expected his protection for everyone.

But during this period of time, Edward has shown weakness again and again, watching millions of compatriots being killed, powerless, although he rushed to the stage to confront DuPont yesterday, but the final result is that everyone's property was robbed and reduced to slaves fate.

These are not the performances that everyone expects from Edward. He no longer deserves everyone's respect, let alone be everyone's patron saint. He is just a weak and incompetent old man.

Faced with the cruelty of the black and white knights, everyone was helpless and desperate, but it did not mean that they were not angry. Their anger was backlogged deep in their hearts and they dared not vent it. Edward became the only person for them to vent their anger. They did not hate Edward for being brutal and ruthless, but hated him He was cowardly and incompetent and let everyone down.

For seven days, the turmoil in the city gradually came to an end. The black and white knights ransacked the entire residents' homes. After asking them to sign a high-value lease, the residents went home. No matter how miserable their lives were, they had to continue. The city gradually has production and living activities, and people can only choose to live in humiliation.

When millions of people are desperate and helpless, there are still hundreds of people who still have their last hope in their hearts. They are all customers of Xuri Bank. After these seven days of turmoil, their wealth has been looted, but there is still hope, because They found that although Xuri Bank was closed, it had not been looted. As time went by, their gratitude and hope became stronger. They all had a lot of gold in the bank, although compared with their original huge assets, It's nothing, but the money is extremely important to them now, and it is a guarantee for less suffering in the future.

In the torment of fear and hope are the employees of the Xuri Group. So far they are luckier than everyone in the city, because Liang Yong protected them. Before the Dupont army entered the city, Liang Yong reminded everyone that if Please don't leave the department store if you are in danger, and stay in the market for the time being, so they were forced to go out and kneel for a while that day, and then returned to the market.

The gate of the market has been closed for several days, and they have settled down in the backyard, and because the market is full of high-quality goods, they can afford food, drink and shelter. When millions of people in the city are driven out of their homes and tortured, they can hide in the The stability in the market is ri, and there has been no harm for a week.

Of course, they are still very scared, worried that one day the black and white knights will raid their homes here, and they will be kicked out, and most of them are husband and wife, working together in the Xuri Group. Although they have not worked here for a long time, their income It was several times higher than before, and the treatment was unprecedentedly good, which gave them a strong sense of belonging and honor to this place, but all of this would be gone as long as the black and white knights broke in.

But this day still came. On the tenth day, Dupont, who hadn’t seen the road for a long time, appeared in the city again, looked at the ruins of the temple for a while, then turned to look at the row of newly decorated houses of the Xuri Group, and stretched out his finger Said: "The temporary camp is here, it has been expropriated."

Someone whispered: "Godfather, this is the address of Edison College, which is Edward's property."

"Hey, what is his property? I gave it to him back then, and now I want to take it back." Dupont cursed, and the looting of the whole city went smoothly, which made him confident, so he didn't care about Edward, and just took the opportunity to humiliate him. Fan, I just want to occupy your property.

The black and white knights were overjoyed, and surrounded the Xuri Group together. They had long wanted to rob this place. This is the most beautiful and richest place in the city. They were afraid of Edward before. Now that the godfather has spoken, what are they afraid of.

They rushed over and kicked open the gate, and hundreds of people rushed in. They were already familiar with the routine. They drove all the people out after entering the gate, and snatched all the accounts and property inside. Stopped the plundering of the people, and ordered: "The things are put here first, and they are just used to build our temple."

But then someone opened the vault and saw the mountain of gold inside, DuPont couldn't sit still, rushed in greedily to watch, waved his big hand, and ordered all to be loaded and transported back to his manor.

Several 10 taels of gold, loaded with hundreds of carts, lined up in a long line from the bank, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole city. Everyone could tell that it was gold transported from Xuri Bank. The lucky bosses were completely dumbfounded, it's over, it's over, their last property was looted by Dupont.

At the same time of despair, the anger in my heart reached its peak. These demons are too terrible. This is to prevent people from having any hope of living. Why, why.

Resist, we have to resist, we can no longer be so blindly patient, life is worse than death.
