    The current situation is turbulent, and even in the dead of night, there are still many people who are worried about their own fate and cannot sleep.  {When a halo that was not night appeared in the originally dark night sky, these people who were tossing and turning stood up to check. They were full of curiosity and inexplicable fear about the strange light spots in the sky, fearing that it was a harbinger of the attack of the undead.  At first, these bright lights were just like dots of fireflies. Gradually, the scattered light spots connected in series, one by one, and finally formed a scene.  The picture went from blurry to clear, and the crowd of onlookers began to realize that something was wrong. The images shown in the night sky were the refugees who had left earlier!  The conversation became louder and louder, even the sleeping people were woken up, and the whole fortress was as noisy as daytime.  People looked at the exhausted slaughter of the revenge army in the army. This horrible scene caused the crowds gathered on the square to fall into a deadly silent.  Gonzalez, who could not sleep, came to the corridor as soon as a vision appeared in the sky. Other persons in charge and officers who were awakened by the noise rushed over, frightened and helpless that this scene was unfolding in front of the world.  They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.  By now, covering up is of no use.  Even if they tell the truth, I am afraid that the seeds of panic and uneasiness have been planted in their hearts, and Watchfort, which has been advancing and retreating together, will also lose the trust of the people.  After a brief silence, there was an overwhelming amount of accusations and questions.  People gathered outside the area where the nobles lived, demanding convincing explanations and truth.  Gonzalez returned home and put on the full-body armor Dante had customized for him. In addition to the Belfast family crest, it also had the sigil of Watchfort established after the fall of Dragon Rock Castle engraved on it. This suit was enough to meet the king.  .  When Dante, who came in a hurry, saw what Gonzalez was wearing, he opened his mouth and closed it again.  There is no need to say anything, this child already knows and is ready to shoulder the responsibilities he has to bear.  Slowly walk down the stairs.  Gonzalez walked toward the emotional crowd.  Seeing the appearance of the nominal manager, the civilians poured out their fears and uneasiness.  "Grand Duke, why do you want to kill those refugees?" "What crime have they committed?" "Collaboration with the enemy? Treason?" "Will you treat us the same way you treat the refugees?" "Did Fort Watch have already defected and joined the Undead?  Empire?" Wave after wave of voices almost drowned Gonzalez. He looked around, the crowd was excited.  If he hadn't been concerned about his identity, he might have rushed up to him, grabbed his clothes and questioned him or thrown stones.  Strong negative emotions are spreading in the fortress. If it is not handled well, it will not only lose the support of the people, but may even force the people who have always supported the Watchtower to rebel.  Regardless of whether those insects are related to the undead, the Undead Empire will be the ultimate beneficiary.  Gonzales drew his sword, which was more symbolic than combat. The crowd surrounding him was frightened by this sudden move and quickly retreated.  "What does he want to do?" "Does he want to kill us?" After fear, there was anger. People picked up whatever they could find, as long as the lord made any changes.  They immediately swarmed up and attacked in groups.  The expected attack did not appear. Gonzales was seen kneeling down and inserting the sharp sword in his hand into the soil.  "I have been the lord of Belfast since I was born. Even if I shed the last drop of blood, I will defend every citizen of this land. I admit that the order to execute the refugees was made by me."  When it came out, people were both shocked and puzzled.  Since we keep saying that we must protect everyone.  Why order the killing so cruelly?  Since you have done such a thing, why should you admit it frankly?  "There has been no purchasing in the city of Bisar, not far from the fortress, for half a month. Suspecting that something happened to them, I sent scouts to check. There was no news from these ten people for several days. I sent a familiar to sneak into the city of Bisar.  There was no one there, the residents and scouts were nowhere to be found, and there were no traces of the use of the portal. The only thing I found was the strange fog that filled the city, and the familiar was extremely afraid of it. As a last resort, I had to let it go.  It returned. Unexpectedly, refugees disappeared in the outer city that night. They neither left through the city gate nor the portal. The closed underground passage was intact. No one could tell where they went.  The reason for evading the patrols and guards of the soldiers is still unknown. The ** Division Gilad searched the classics and the Avengers Field Black contacted the Dawn Headquarters but could not find out the reason. " Gonzalez's words made the angry crowd recover a little.  With some sense, they knew that a large number of people were missing in the outer city. The soldiers did not conceal the matter from the beginning. In order to be sure, they also countedGo to the inner city to investigate.  "Commander Dante said that this may be the mysterious insect that caused the collapse of the ancient elven empire. It is as thin as dust. When it invades the body, it will multiply rapidly and corrode the host. After the adult insect breaks out of the body, it can turn a city into a  No man's land. Although I can't bear it, I can't risk the lives of more people for the sake of a few people. I have no choice but to send them out of the fortress" At this point, Gonzalez lowered his head deeply: "Originally,  This is what I should have done, and the infamy and guilt should be borne by me alone, but Black took this dishonorable job because he was the fortress manager and took on the responsibility that was my duty. Please don't.  Scolding the Revenge Army for their cruelty, they may have been eroded by those stationed in the outer city. For the sake of everyone who stayed here, they chose to leave and actively exiled themselves. If anyone is really responsible for this, it can only be me.  Lord, if you have any dissatisfaction, please vent it to me." Gonzalez tapped his forehead on the hilt of his sword, waiting for everyone's judgment.  The square was silent, as if everyone was holding their breath at this moment, so quiet that only Gonzalez's heartbeat could be heard. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but Dante clasped his hands tightly.  Nowadays, when everyone is in danger, the public may not be able to understand his painstaking efforts, let alone accept that they may also become one of the "abandoned" ones.  Today we are refugees, what about tomorrow?  ??If this insect cannot find a solution, the sacrifices will continue to occur.  "If we are all eroded, will the new capital sacrifice us in order to save them?" Among the crowd, I don't know who asked this question.  "I'm not them, so I can't answer for them. Butthis insect is like an undead. It aims at genocide and will devour every living creature it can come into contact with." Gonzalez still maintained a half-kneeling posture.  Whether he can regain the trust of the people depends on this. What he said came from the heart, not just empty talk.  Abigail looked coldly at Gonzalez in the crowd, feeling extremely conflicted. She expected the angry civilians to kill the legal lord of Belfast, but also felt that this matter was too difficult, even if she succeeded as acting lord.  Nor can it quell the people's resentment.  Just as the situation was reaching a stalemate, a staggering figure was approaching the gathered crowd step by step.  Everyone's attention was drawn to Gonzalez in the center of the field, and few noticed his abnormality.  "What are you doing?" "What is this?" "Ah¡ª¡ª" Exclamations came from the outside. Gonzalez turned his head and saw that the originally dense crowd suddenly dispersed and a man walked through the gap.  Come in.  "Hobbes?" Gonzalez looked at the man walking crookedly in front of him in shock. His skin was covered with dense holes, as if it had been pierced by nail boards. It exuded a strong stench, like a corpse.  The highly aphrodisiac corpses can no longer be called 'human beings'.  "You" Gonzalez wasn't sure if he was still alive. It happened so suddenly. No one expected that Hobbes suddenly opened his mouth, and with a "buzz", swarms of insects swarmed out of his cracked mouth.  , the nearby people were immediately affected, and the insects, which were smaller than mosquitoes, quickly found a new host.  They were stampeding, pushing, screaming, and roaring. Suddenly, the whole square was in chaos.  As one of the closest people, Gonzalez instinctively chose to avoid the countless flying insects coming towards him. He summoned the musket given as a symbol of the divine envoy, and the flames formed by the divine power instantly engulfed the surroundings.  The insects were wiped out, but the unarmed civilians were not so lucky.  Most of them were eroded, falling to the ground and rolling in pain, scratching their skin, but it was of no avail. Tiny insects had penetrated into their bodies and began to crazily eat the host's flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, several  The figure melted and disappeared.  Witnessing this horrific scene with his own eyes, Gonzalez waved his spear and rolled up bigger and more flames.  Burns can always be cured, and even gods who are devoured will not come back.  Dante led the officers of Fort Watch who had come to their senses to direct the soldiers to evacuate the crowd, and Marine Girard also quickly took off, using wind and fire to isolate the insects from the crowd.  But it was too late. Flying insects as thin as dust were everywhere. Those who ran the fastest on the outside could not escape the insects that got in through the cracks in the door, even if they fled back to their rooms and closed the door tightly.  Fire and wind walls don't stop erosion, they just slow it down slightly.  These insects themselves are not afraid of fire, and can even penetrate the wind element and penetrate into the bodies of people protected by magic.  Watching people being devoured one after another in front of his eyes, the despair in Gonzalez's heart reached a critical point. ?Couldn't save, not one of them "Stop don't take it away They are my people. If I can't protect even this last thing, what's the point of my life?" [A sad soul bound by responsibility.  , if you are so obsessed with the title of lord, I can give you as many subjects as you want, no more death, no fragile body, and infinite resurrection as long as the soul is alive.  ] A voice that he had never heard before suddenly sounded in Gonzalez's mind, and time seemed to be frozen. The flames, the wind wall, and the insect swarms all stopped with the voice.  (To be continued)
