A strange world

Chapter 493 Chapter 150. I am with my family

"We were once just like you, but now, we have our own houses, warm food, a paradise without oppression and slavery, and without heavy taxes."

During Evelin's gentle narration, the civilians who looked up saw children playing on the beach and studying in the classroom; the wheat fields in the distance were swaying in the wind; and the workers were busy in the bustling port.

Pairs of numb eyes on the earth gradually became brighter.

"They will protect us."

A majestic blue dragon spreads its wings that cover the sky;

Soldiers made of iron and blood arranged in cold order;

A dozen white dragons hovered over the forest;

Groups of skeletal rat-men roam deep in the wheat fields;

The beautiful black-haired boy who looked like an elf appeared in the sky. He was no longer greeted by numb sight.

This black-haired boy, who is as beautiful as an elf, uses his smooth and elegant words to make people on the ground feel the beauty of life:

"I'm waiting for you in Liberty City. After you see the wheat field, run forward and don't look back. Liberty City will protect your back."

The fading figure seems to have taken away people's hope. The soldiers of Mad Dog Archduke arrived belatedly, but they were too high. When the mages accompanying them took off, the dragon shadow soaring in the night sky had already disappeared.

They had no choice but to curse this episode and send someone to tell the Mad Dog Archduke at the rear. They thought everything was over... but late at night, the familiar "Beautiful Liberty City, our new home!" came from the sky again.

Many tired people did not wake up, but more people opened their eyes just to take another look at everything the boy described.

The mages accompanying the team couldn't wait to take off. The knights stared at the location of the magical image. After a while, they heard a dragon roar, saw a flash of lightning, and then, fragments of the staff fell on the head of an unlucky guy.

No mage came back... The knights' mentality gradually became calmer, and they no longer paid attention to the magical images in the sky. Let him go - just the thing to while away a dull evening.

It would have been fine if it was just like this, but not long after, bread suddenly fell from the night sky and scattered on and around the civilians.

The darkness was on the side of the civilians, and the knights on the periphery couldn't see where the supplies had fallen. They rushed into the camp and saw only a pair of indifferent eyes under the torch, with no trace of supplies.

But one thing is for sure - it will all end up in people's stomachs.

…

"...That man wants us to surrender to him."

Watchland, castle.

The unruly Mad Dog Archduke stared at the dirty girl kneeling in front of him.

"You're not moved?"

"I... no... no..." the girl shook her head, "They are lying to us. Why is there a place better than your rule..."

The Mad Dog Archduke grinned, but what he showed was not kindness, but cruelty: "Did you eat it?"

"I... didn't..." the girl explained stumblingly.

"Open her stomach." Mad Dog Archduke tilted his head and said. Leaning forward with interest, he watched Konoe pick up the girl who was screaming hoarsely, use a sharp dagger inlaid with gems to cut open the belly of the girl who was begging for mercy, reach in while the girl was twitching, and take out a lump of blood. Digestive matter like crumbs covered with bloody foam

"What's this?"

"Bread... Grand Duke, she ate it." Konoe held the digestion in his hands without any disgust and let go of the girl's hair.

"Help...I...please..."

There was no pool of blood spreading because it was all blended into the dark carpet. She prayed weakly to the Archduke.

"It's a pity that you didn't seize the opportunity..." The Mad Dog Archduke stepped on the girl's outstretched hand with the sole of his boot, gently crushed it, and pinched her chin: "Remember, don't deceive the Montabro Lock family. …”

"Tell my knights to trample to death all the untouchables who eat bread!"

The gray-robed mage stopped him, and only he could do this: "I suggest you take back your order, Grand Duke. Because almost all civilians have eaten bread."

"These untouchables... do they know whose subjects they are!" The violent roar echoed in the hall, and the Mad Dog Archduke restrained his desire, "Then pick a few useless old people and hang them, and let the untouchables See the consequences of disobeying me!”

"Mr. Dahl, are you interested in that dragon?"

The gray-robed mage shook his head: "I want to stay to protect you."

"Oh, it's really boring..."

Mad Dog Archduke's interest waned, and then his attention was attracted by something else: "I want to go to the battlefield tomorrow."

"Grand Duke, this is very dangerous..."

"Can't even protect you?" Mad Dog Archduke said displeased.

"That boy became the Champion Warlock for a reason."

The Mad Dog Archduke stared boredly at the dead girl's deformed fingers, and suddenly said: "I can disguise myself as an archer."

…

Ten corpses with slumped shoulders, loss of temperature, and dripping excrement were hung in front of the camp.

Numb people gathered around. Because the knight ordered whoever took it off to put it on, they did nothing.

"Grandma Mailin..."

An old woman walked out of the crowd and came to the hanged old man. She grabbed a hand and put it on her forehead: "Please come to me at night, so that I can let you rest in peace in your dreams." Already..."

A new day has arrived.

The numb civilians continued on their way as the knights drove them away, but it was different from before... was it the food last night that made their steps easier, or was it the faint hope that had emerged?

In the evening, they faced the setting sun and saw the green wheat fields in the distance.

Dragons circled the horizon, like soldiers covered in flames lining up in front.

"Everyone stop!"

The cavalry came from behind and ordered the civilians to gather.

But when they actually saw the land they dreamed of, they became hesitant.

"Are you afraid of death?" the man asked the little girl.

The little girl hugged the doll tightly: "I am with my family."

The man stared at the knight, and when they rushed to somewhere else, he suddenly ran out.

The man's running also brought along some people around him, but he had no time to look, nor did he pay attention to the screams and the sound of horse hooves. The only words in his head were "Don't look back."

The galloping horse's hooves approached quickly, and his mind almost pictured the scythe cutting into his neck - and then suddenly turned into a dull thumping sound.

Weird roars and indescribable roars echoed in his ears. He lowered his head and ran forward. Exhaustion made his steps heavier and heavier, and every breath became a struggle. But finally, he saw the soldiers greeting him.

"We're here! Nia, have you seen it! We're here!" The man shouted with unprecedented excitement, and then he felt the pain in his back.

He was suddenly stunned: an arrow passed through the little girl's chest at some point, and the tip of the arrow pierced his back.

The little girl closed her eyes and held the man and the doll tightly with her cold little hands that had lost their temperature.
