"What happened? Hurry up and tell me!" Horf knew the severity of the situation when he saw his soldier in such a sorry state. However, he was embarrassed in front of Gravel.
"I was with a dozen people who wanted to rob the church. However, when we got there, we saw a large number of Derman soldiers heading in that direction. A few of us wanted to chase after them, but we were sent flying by an invisible force. Some of our brothers were sent flying and died when they hit a stone pillar. I was lucky enough to survive by falling into a bush. "The Northland soldier was on his last breath.
"Is that so? Hurry up and bring me there. "Hoffman ordered someone to carry the injured soldier away for treatment. He also went to change his clothes.
After a while, the injured soldier brought Gravel and Horf to the church where they were sent flying.
There were still refugees rushing over. There were too many Derman soldiers. Gravel and the rest were already numb to it. They couldn't even kill them all. The city was filled with people who had lost their homes because of the war.
Horf saw the church and wanted to walk in like the refugees. However, he was sent flying a few meters away in front of everyone.
Horf was furious. He grabbed a few Derman soldiers who were running for their lives not far away and wanted to force his way in. However, the Derman still managed to enter the church.
In a fit of anger, he swung his axe at the invisible boundary. The axe was sent flying, and he could feel his hand bleeding.
Patrick also wanted to give it a try. He ran forward but ended up in a worse state than his father. He knocked himself unconscious.
"Enough! It seems that someone powerful in magic has set up a barrier here. He doesn't want us to disturb him. From today onwards, no one is allowed to come close. You can only guard this place from afar. If anyone comes out, you can do whatever you want to them. At the same time, set up a checkpoint here. Every day, when the sun shines on the top of the church, only the first 100 people are allowed to enter. The rest will be killed without mercy, "Gravel said loudly and ordered everyone to retreat.
Everyone had no choice but to follow Gravel's instructions. However, no one expected that Gravel had his own plans.
The next day, a group of Derman refugees hid in various corners. They heard about Gravel's rule, which meant that only 100 people could survive every day. They were all waiting for the sun to shine on the top of the church.
Finally, the sun shone on the spire of the church. Everyone rushed there as if their lives depended on it, but they did not care about Gravel's orders. They just wanted to rush in directly. Only then would they have a chance if they relied on their numbers and the Northlanders could not kill them.
There were at least a thousand people rushing over at the same time, and the people of Norland did not stop them at the first moment. In a short moment, almost 100 people, the Northland people started killing people. they shot, with arrows, with spears, and with swords and axes. After killing for half a day, at least 300 people rushed into the barrier.
At this time, inside the barrier, a Derman wearing a cloak was not very eye-catching. He came here with a group of people and could finally take a breather.
At this time, many mounted knights wearing black armor and winged helmets surrounded the group of newcomers.
"All of you, immediately remove everything from your bodies. You are not allowed to bring anything. If anyone disobeys this order, they will be killed without mercy," a person who looked like the captain of the knights rode on a tall horse and waved a long sword and said.
The Derman looked at the others. They were happy to have escaped the clutches of the Northland people at first, but now they didn't know what they were going to face. The expressions of the others were full of twists and turns. They went from excitement and happiness to worry in the blink of an eye.
Like the others, these refugees had left their belongings behind, leaving not a single piece of cloth on their bodies, regardless of gender or age. Of course, most of the people who could rush in were men and young women. There were very few old people and children, but it was not like there were none.
Everyone did as the captain said. Even if they brought all their belongings, it was not worth as much as their lives. They provided this shelter, so any request was reasonable.
The Derman who sneaked in took off his clothes and threw them on the ground. He also threw his dagger on the ground and stood there naked, covering his private parts.
The others did the same. Some of the women were a little embarrassed, but they knew that the outside world was scarier, so they could only do as they were told. After all, they were very grateful that they were not killed immediately.
The captain of the knights told them to line up. The knights dismounted and checked them one by one to see if they had brought anything secretly. There was a young and beautiful girl whose snow-white breasts were carefully examined by a knight. However, the girl didn't dare to utter a word.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man was dragged out of the line and beheaded because he was holding a bag of gold coins.
Everyone was trembling in fear. At the same time, they were glad that they did not bring anything with them.
After the careful inspection, the knights got on their horses and led the group of refugees to a huge pool. The world inside the barrier was really beautiful. However, the refugees were not in the mood to appreciate it. They had no dignity at all, no matter where they were.
In front of the huge pool, the water was still steaming. The knights urged the refugees to bathe in the water. Everyone was worried that there was a conspiracy or that the water was too hot and would burn them, until one person jumped into the water first.
At that moment, after so many days of tiredness, they felt refreshed. For the first time, they felt like they were still alive. It was as if they had returned to the time before the war.
They even started to play happily. They really enjoyed it too much. The tiredness from the past few days disappeared in this hot bath. Even the Derman who sneaked in felt really comfortable.
Seeing how happy the refugees were, the knights looked at each other and smiled.
Then, they were asked to put on the clean white clothes that the knights had brought. There was not much difference between the clothes, and the sizes were almost the same. There were only men's clothes, women's clothes, and children's clothes.
Everyone put on clean clothes. They felt that this was not bad. Although they were a little reluctant to part with the things they had lost, at least they were still alive, right?
Then, they were taken to the open space outside the church to eat. Looking at the dazzling array of food, they ate heartily. This was such a good treatment, but they did not see any other refugees. Where did the other refugees go? No one knew. They did not even know what was going to happen next. They did not know what was waiting for them.
