Fierce Battle on the Novro Continent

Early the next morning, Ryan announced the news that Nian Hao had been appointed Lord of the Holy City Alogos in the largest square in the Holy City. This kind of news is not unfamiliar to people in the Holy City. When Nian Hao entered the Holy City, followed by the Tianqin troops stationed, everything had already been explained.

Then Ryan declared all elders in the Holy City to be illegal organizations and banned them all. No one talked much about this kind of news. After losing the city lord and the patron saint, these elders only wanted to ensure their own survival and did not care about the lives of others. Just ban them.

Finally, Ryan announced that all benefits for all residents of the Holy City would be cancelled.

This last statement directly made the residents of the Holy City furious. Before they could react, countless Tianqin soldiers appeared in every corner, holding sharp swords in their hands and glaring at all the residents. Several residents who just wanted to speak were immediately chopped down to the ground by the swords of the Tianqin soldiers who rushed out.

Seeing a living person being cut into pieces, the residents of the surrounding holy city couldn't help but take a few steps back. The residents of these holy cities have all seen this kind of cruel thing, so there was no panic or screaming.

Ryan looked at the residents in the square and couldn't help but sigh. He continued to announce: All the original residents of the Holy City automatically became mercenaries, and they had to complete the tasks assigned by the city lord. If they served others, they would be killed without mercy.

Mercenary? Task? Before the residents of the Holy City could react, Ryan struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Since all your benefits have been cancelled, all your original residences and finances will be confiscated!"

After the news came out, there was a commotion among the crowd, but it soon became quiet. It turned out that the Tianqin soldiers rushed directly to the few people who spoke loudly, and with one operation, those few people were chopped into several pieces.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that everyone is quiet now. Anyone who speaks out will be killed without mercy." Ryan suddenly added this sentence.

Hearing this, everyone didn't dare to breathe.

"That is to say, from now on, you have nothing." Ryan laughed, then pointed outside the city and said: "However, I am now issuing an order to rebuild the town outside the city. For those who are working, we can arrange food tonight. Housing, and wine. If you don’t want to do it, you’ll have to starve.”

The residents in the square looked at each other with fear, anger and helplessness written on their faces. Ryan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing their hearts. They lost all their benefits, their homes, their property, and even their dignity. Now, they must fight for survival in the harsh winter.

After the order to rebuild the town outside the city was issued, the residents of the square began to waver. They knew that this was their only chance. They could either choose to surrender and accept the job in exchange for a full meal and a place to live; or they could choose to resist and face the sharp swords of Tian Qin soldiers, with their lives and deaths uncertain.

As time passed, some people chose to compromise. They silently left the square and walked toward the town outside the city. Others still stood in the square, with sparks of anger flashing in their eyes and clenched fists showing their determination.

At night, the construction of the town began. Those residents who chose to compromise worked hard in the cold nights. They were carrying bricks and stones and building houses. Their figures looked lonely and helpless in the moonlight.

But those who still stayed in the square spent a long night in hunger and cold.

As night falls, there are fewer and fewer people left in the square. Those who held on, faced with severe cold and hunger, had to consider their options. They exchanged glances with each other. Some of them were shaken and finally chose to leave the square and join the team that was rebuilding the town. But some people still stayed firmly in the square. They would rather endure the cold and hunger to stick to their beliefs.

At night, the construction progress of the town continues to accelerate. Those compromising residents worked hard under the moonlight, their hands covered with blood blisters, but they did not dare to slack off at all, because they knew that only by completing their tasks could they gain a chance of survival.

And those who stayed in the square spent a long night. They watched the lights of the town come on, and their hearts were filled with helplessness and despair. But they still persist, and they hope that through their persistence, more people will be aware of their plight.

As the night passes, a new day begins. Ryan appeared in the square again. He looked at those who persisted, with a sneer on his lips. He announced that those residents who chose to compromise would have the opportunity to participate in the construction of the town, while those who persisted would face more severe tests.

At this moment, Nian Hao stood silently in a corner of the city, looking at the group of people.

"Nian Hao, are you going too far!" Yao Luoxuan, standing next to Nian Hao, scolded angrily.

"I don't think it's too much." Nian Hao said: "These people came from the earth, were rescued by the Holy City, and then rotted here. They have long lost their souls. The Blackstone Alliance has now invaded, and what supports them may be The Blackstone Alliance can send them back to Earth. Or something else. How can I put it, these people look like people, but in fact they are not human at all."

Yao Luoxuan's eyes were red, as if her cruelty from yesterday to now had tortured her conscience. Yao Luoxuan said: "Is that their fault? It's the world's fault."

"Then when I died in your arms on Earth, was it the world's fault?" Nian Hao asked.

Yao Luoxuan was speechless by Nian Hao's words. She knew the pain in Nian Hao's heart and why he was so cold. Back on Earth, Nian Hao was still an ordinary college student, full of expectations for the future. However, fate brought him to this strange world when he was most helpless. This huge gap caused Nian Hao's soul to be severely traumatized.

"Nian Hao, I know you feel bitter, but is it really okay for you to treat these people like this?" Yao Luoxuan tried to persuade Nian Hao.

Nian Hao was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Sister, I know you feel sorry for these people, but you have to understand that there is no absolute good or evil in this world. These people have been enjoying themselves in the Holy City for too long and have forgotten the hardships of life. . Only by allowing them to rediscover their human nature can we truly save them."

Yao Luoxuan looked at Nian Hao and knew that his decision could not be changed. She lowered her head sadly and said no more words.

At this time, the residents in the square were struggling with hunger and cold. They looked at the lights of the town and their hearts were filled with endless despair. But they still persevere because they know that only by persevering can more people become aware of their plight.

Nian Hao stood in a corner of the city, his eyes burning brightly. He looked at those who persisted, but his heart did not waver at all. In his opinion, these people have long lost their human nature, and what they need is a thorough baptism.
