"This...it doesn't sound easy." Hoover touched his slippery head with some distress, and his nose turned red. He paid some gold coins and received assistance from Black Stone Colonel, and there was no problem.

But it is not that easy to take away free people, vendors and handicraftsmen from Daotan Town. It is not the question of who pays the remuneration, but most of these people are indigenous people from the town, with their own homes, property and relatives here, free people and self-cultivated land.

Although Daotan Town is full of crisis now, it is not that simple to persuade them to abandon their family business and run to the Black Stone Corps on the border.

"It's not easy," Halsey took a breath and rubbed his hands, "To be honest, I was also worried at first. But in fact, it's still possible. For example, I, the three freeholders I took away, two of whom were hunters who provided us with fur, and one was specially picking spices. I gave them some preferential conditions and promised them to withdraw some of the payment for the coming year in advance."

"And they just went to Black Stone Collector to spend the winter, right? The houses here will not be thrown away. As long as you survive the winter, if you are not happy to stay in Black Stone Collector, you can leave at any time. This is also one of the conditions for Black Stone Collector."

"I think, I think." Hoover was still hesitant.

"Haha, man, why not try it." Halsey did not continue to persuade him, and turned around to direct the coachman and the porter, continued to carry goods, and looked up at the dark sky: "Only people can have a home, right? If you can't even save your life, whose home is it?"

...

"Benedict, that's what you said - the devil's smirk?"

In the church's chapel, several candles were lit to brightly turn on the lights in the room. The Knights were stationed in the open space in front of the church, and the fully armed knights were responsible for serving the night and guarding against the invasion of demons.

Lord Mister held a piece of parchment in his hand, with the devil's sneering smile drawn by Benedict himself - a big (华?华).

I have to say that Benedict has a talent for painting and his paintings are very vivid, with contempt and despised.

But it just looks strange.

It feels faint and funny.

"This looks... a bit ridiculous. Sorry, I don't deny what you see." Lord Mister frowned: "The lines are simple, so this seems to be some kind of exaggerated expression of a person."

"No, Lord Mister." Benedict felt uncomfortable when he thought of the pages (六?六): "When all the faces you see become like this, you will definitely not find it ridiculous-that feeling. The Holy Spirit is above, it is so weird."

"So, what about those sounds?" Lord Mister put down the parchment: "As far as I know, there is a deacon in the church who specializes in demonic science, who is proficient in many lost demonic whispers. Perhaps you can simply describe it."

"I only remember the tone. It was a language I had never heard before." Benedict pulled out another piece of papyrus, which was full of letters in common terms, and there were as many as seven or eight kinds of pronunciations imitated.

“a,ki,ku,li,hoo,yaa,hoo,ben?”

"It's weird indeed." Mister tried to read aloud, but found it was a very crappy mouth twister.

"It's not just pronunciation, but also rhythm and rhythm. Sorry, this really can't be described."

"The whisper of the devil. This is indeed not a trivial matter." Mister walked a few steps, frowned, and after a while, he stopped: "In the decree of the Holy Messenger, we should pay attention to any signs of the devil. This is very important, and your discovery is very important."

"Benedict, I think it's necessary to report it. This town is so weird. No, not only here, but the pagans in Deep Water City have gradually become increasingly rampant recently."

"This is a wise decision, Lord."

"Can't delay any more."

The missing grain transport team, the robbed princess ship, the sea monsters that rushed to the shore, the fires in the Black Fortress, and the church attacked by evil spirits. All the events were linked together, which made Lord Mister alert.

Lord Mister called Vanson in, found a wooden box, and carefully put the parchment paper painted with the devil's sneer and the devil's whisper. After thinking about it, he felt worried, so he ordered him to find some of the corpses from the cemetery and arrange a group of shrewd knights to send them to the Doling Cathedral in Deep Water City overnight.

If the corpse was indeed infected by demons, then the church deacons would have some sense.

It is indeed much more reassuring to have the Knights stationed in the church. Until midnight, no abnormal situation occurred. This also made Benedict initially determine that it was related to the excavated corpses.

In the second half of the night, Benedict, who had been tortured for two days, couldn't stand it anymore, so he returned to the dormitory to rest after Lord Mister's persuasion.

...

In the northern suburbs of Daotan Town, a team of twenty orc warriors, led by an orc warrior with a beastly skull helmet, took advantage of the night to advance.

This is a orc settlement that is different from that in the Hurek Forest, and is also constantly migrating to the outskirts of the Black Mist Forest. This vanguard team is to plunder blood food for the sneering stomach in advance.

Compared to the orcs who were defeated by the Blackstone Corps, their actions were very smooth.

Due to the lack of food, the Black Forest Knights, who were responsible for defending Daotan Town, were all in a dilemma of starvation. The inside was already filled with dissatisfaction, and the discipline was scattered, and there was no intention of fighting.

The North Manor in the northern suburbs is affiliated with the lord's private manor. The soil nearby is loose and fertile, mainly grape planting and winemaking, and is also one of the main industries of Daotan Town.

The three stone beacon towers set up in the vineyard were all empty. After Bordut died and the food was burned, the farmers who depended on the lord's allocated food were completely in despair. The manor guards who were originally responsible for guarding the beacon tower were also in panic all day long and were passive and slackened.

“wahgha!”

When the orcs' deafening roar sounded, the whole farm became boiling, and the strong orcs waved their weapons and mercilessly hit the unarmed farmers.

For a moment, shrill crying and call for help came one after another.

The burning brazier was kicked over, the wooden house was ignited, and the orc warriors rushed to the ground were harvesting their lives as if they were in a no-man's realm, cutting melons and vegetables.

A fire spread and the entire farm turned into a purgatory on earth.

"It's a fire, it's a fire in the north!"

"It's a fire again! Oh my God, what's wrong?"

Then, the entire Daotan Town also woke up, and the surrounding villages and manors, no matter what their identity was, all ran out of their homes in horror, stood on the street, stood in the manor, stood on the roof, looked at the scarlet and dazzling fire rising from the horizon, and fell into terrible fear.

This caused them to burn the fire in Black Fort.

Just as fierce, just as dazzling.

And this time, what will be destroyed?

"Master, Master!"

Fan Sen, who was sleeping, was also awakened by the warning from the Knights. When he saw the red half of the sky in the northern sky, he was panicked.

"What's up!"

Lord Mister, wearing a nightgown, rushed out of the room in a hurry. Even Benedict woke up and didn't even bother to wear shoes.

Fortunately, the knights were calm and there was no riot. They were dressed neatly in time and assembled in the open space of the church.

"Where is that?" Lord Mister asked sternly with red eyes.

"North...North." Fansen knew the map of Tan Town well and immediately replied: "There should be the Evil Tooth Forest, and...North Vines."

"The town cursed by the demon! The town cursed by the demon." Benedict tightened the cross in his hand: "The demon is angry, it is demonic demon demonic!"

"Scout, scout! Go immediately and find out the cause of this fire. Knights, it's time to show your courage. Prepare your weapons and bring all your entourages. Get ready---set!"

"Master!" Fan Sen swallowed and spitted, "Where is the Black Forest Knights? It is their duty to defend Daotan Town."

"Damn, those stupid guys," Lord Mister said gritting his teeth, "Go and inform their commander. Tell them that the town of Daotan is destroyed and that none of us will end up well. Here are their families and property, and whether they are willing to be loyal to me or not, they should now let go of all prejudices."
