"Woo … woo woo woo …"
A few suppressed cries reverberated over the Mountain City like a blade that lingered in people's hearts.
At this moment, on the vast square in the center of the city, many people were covered in dust. It was obvious that they had traveled a long distance to reach this place. All of them were lying on the ground, crying bitterly.
Some of them were crying bitterly because of the scars all over their bodies.
Some of them were crying bitterly because they had finally arrived at a safe place to stay.
Some of them were crying bitterly because they had lost their loved ones.
Some of them were crying uncontrollably because they did not know the life and death of the people around them.
Looking at this group of mountain people, the people in the Mountain City either came forward to comfort them by sending them porridge and food, or knelt down and prayed devoutly. Some of them were helping to take care of the children, the elderly, women, and the wounded. Each and every one of them had a heavy expression, which made the Mountain City, which was immersed in a carnival atmosphere until yesterday, extremely depressing.
Rozen, Matthew, Serenity, Bedivere, and Altoria Alter all looked at this scene in silence. Even Jeanne Alter had come over and leaned against the wall of the nearby building with an unhappy face.
Then …
"Through the detection of the residual magic, a powerful force has indeed been observed."
Roman's voice came from the communicator on Rozen's wrist.
"It seems that yesterday, in the mountain area, there was indeed a very terrible force that burned down the scattered mountain people's villages."
Olga Marie's voice was somewhat dignified.
"That is indeed a very remarkable magic observation value. The preliminary estimate is about 3000000. By the way, the highest level noble relic has a full release observation value of about 1000-3000. Therefore, the power that burned down the scattered mountain people's villages is, by conservative estimation, thousands of times more powerful than the highest level noble relic."
Da Vinci gave such a terrible value.
Immediately, Altoria Alter said in a cold tone.
"That should be it. That's the judgment of the Lion King's Holy Spear, the Pillar of Purification of Longomenad."
Hearing Altoria Alter's words, Rozen couldn't help but recall the pillar of light.
When he first arrived at this singularity point, he used the power of Mind's Eye to see the beam of light, and when he fought against the Lion King in St. Petersburg, the beam of light released by the Divine Lance of Liberation.
Without a doubt, that was the power of the Lion King's Noble Relic, the Holy Spear Longominade.
Not only could the Lion King release that ray of light in battle, but he could also release the power of the Holy Spear from the direction of the Holy Capital, thousands of miles away, and bring that ray of light to any corner of this land.
In the past, the Lion King had used this method to burn down the villages in the Holy Land, leaving behind craters that looked like craters.
Now, the Lion King once again used this power to burn down the villages of the mountain people scattered in the mountain area.
Thanks to this, the two Hassan who had been serving Altoria Alter, in order to evacuate the crowd, let the mountain people escape, and disappeared along with the burned villages.
In order to reach this place, a group of ordinary mountain dwellers had to face hunger, panic, and the threat of monsters and beasts in the mountains without the protection of their Servants. They were covered in wounds, and there were even some who seemed to have sacrificed themselves.
How could the atmosphere not be depressing?
"The reason why this place is fine should be thanks to the multiple layers of protection set up by the master. The Lion King couldn't confirm the location of this place, so he couldn't use the Light of Judgment, right?"
Bedivere said in a deep voice.
"The two Hassan and many mountain people died in the process …"
Matthew's expression was a bit sad.
"Are we stepping on the tail of the tiger?"
Alter's tone was still sarcastic.
"Cursed Wrist Hassan and Hundred Faces Hassan are actually …"
Serenity looked lonely. It seemed that she didn't expect that her predecessors, who were also Hassan, would die like this.
Even Rozen narrowed his eyes.
"Just because we killed two Knights of the Round Table, the Lion King sent down the Light of Judgment and burned our two Hasans to death?"
Was this intentional, or could it be that after learning the news, he could no longer sit still, so in order to weaken the fighting power of this side and give them despair, he made this move?
Rozen didn't know.
Rozen only knew …
"The Lion King has regarded us as a threat."
Otherwise, the other side would not have directly used the power of the Holy Lance to burn down the scattered mountain people's villages on the night of the crusade against the Knights of the Round Table.
If the Mountain City was not protected by Rozen's enchantment and protective tactics, and even distorted the space around the town, the outside world would not be able to find it at all, let alone discover it. Perhaps, the Lion King would not hesitate to burn it all down.
"I will remember this, Lion King."
Altoria whispered to herself, and then looked at the crowd.
"Now, there is one thing that must be discussed."
What is it?
"Do you want to rescue the lost mountain people?"
Altoria mentioned such a thing.
Yes.
Some mountain people were lost.
And there were a lot of them.
"Without the protection of servants, and without warriors and soldiers, it is not so easy for a group of ordinary humans to cross half of the mountain area to reach here."
"The threat of wild beasts and even magical beasts not only caused the mountain people to suffer heavy losses, but in the process of being attacked, the mountain people were also forced to disperse more than once, and many mountain people were lost."
"According to the remaining traces and the terrain survey, some of the mountain people have fled to the Holy Land, and some have even fled to the desert area."
The reports of Roman, Da Vinci, and Olga Marie continued to come.
In other words …
"Now many mountain people have fled to dangerous places and are facing a cruel and desperate situation?"
Serenity said in an inconceivable voice.
But this was the truth.
"In the Holy Land, there are Holy Knights constantly slaughtering refugees, and the desert area is the den of the Sun King's magical beasts. If they flee to those places and don't rescue them, it is estimated that no one can survive."
Jeanne d 'Alter declared in a voice devoid of joy or sorrow.
"Moreover, we have confirmed that the edge of the mountain area is surrounded by the army of Holy Knights. Presumably, the Holy Capital has anticipated this situation and is ready to kill them all."
Bedivere continued to bring the cruel bad news.
"Could it be Minister Agwen …?"
Matthew reacted and realized who would launch such a ruthless and treacherous action.
In addition to Agwen, there was no second person.
Agwen had expected that the mountain people would be scattered under the threat of the mountain beasts and magical beasts, and then many people would be forced to flee the mountain area.
Therefore, Agwen sent the army to guard the border and carry out a massacre on the mountain people who fled to the Holy Land.
As for the mountain people who fled to the desert area, even if they were not chased, sooner or later they would be eaten by the Sun King's magical beasts.
Wasn't this the same as exterminating all of them?
Under such circumstances, Altoria asked the crowd.
"Should we save them?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Rozen.
