Lord Hunter needs a commission

Things like religion seem to be deception and lies, but in a panic situation, as a spiritual sustenance, religion is sometimes more convincing than the law.

Of course, force is an important force that overrides religion and law no matter what age it is.

The reason why the thousands of refugees here did not make a noise, thinking of breaking through the city gates and looting, is that the difference in force between the two sides has reached a world of difference.

No matter how many people there are, it is impossible for the refugees to defeat the regular army head-on, let alone break through the gate with a city wall tens of meters high in front of them.

However, this is also the most troublesome place for Charlotte.

It means that if he wants to climb over the city wall and sneak into the city, it will be quite difficult. If one is not good, his whereabouts will be exposed.

Chapter 205 Holy Baba

Strictly speaking, climbing over the wall in front of me is not as difficult as imagined.The difficulty is how to sneak into the city in a concealed way, at least without being noticed.

Otherwise, the most dangerous place is not the safest place, but you are caught in a trap.

After all, the city in front of me is just a slightly larger castle. It is amazing that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people. This also means that the number of people and space in the city will be limited.

Once found after entering the city, it is very difficult to escape.

Of course, staying in this refugee camp at the gate of the city is not a bad idea.

In this kind of place where the three religions are mixed, it can be regarded as dark under the lights. Charlotte doesn't think that the ruler of this city has the kind of idle time to spend time and energy distinguishing refugees one by one and registering their identities.

However, after staying for a while, Charlotte discovered that the seemingly orderly refugee camp... was actually no better than the wilderness.

Although it is impossible to enter the city, a strange order has been established in this refugee camp, which originated from an order of violence.

Some people who are not so sloppy and strong, naturally formed gangs in the camp, and then oppressed others together, including but not limited to extortion, robbery, QJ, fighting and so on.

In the small refugee camp, there are more than a dozen groups of different sizes. These violent groups divide their territories and positions one after another, and then conflicts break out with each other from time to time. In order to control more tents and refugees, they fight each other in one piece.

Obviously, the ruler of the holy capital didn't know about this kind of thing, or knew about it, but ignored it at all.

As a result, the degree of chaos here is unimaginable, the sewage is flowing, and the dirt is everywhere. Some women who look a bit pretty are either made sex slaves or forced to sell their bodies to live...

This scene made Charlotte's throat seem to be blocked, and he couldn't help but recall that on the way, he rescued the refugees who were attacked by monsters and came to the holy capital.According to them, this is the only holy capital that can be saved... and it is not much better.

When the refugees came here, apart from not having to face the threat of monsters in the wilderness, their lives were not much better.

And, every time a new refugee comes here in the camp, there is a new oppression.

The gang groups in these refugee camps will use various methods to force these newcomers to join them after the arrival of new refugees... If they are not allowed, they will be beaten up and all valuable things on their bodies will be confiscated. If it is a man, if he is severely injured, ignore him and let him fend for himself.

But if it's a woman... "It's really a terrible place. From this point of view, the Pharaoh's place in the desert is probably much better than here."

Following a refugee team into the camp, the hustle and bustle, the fights for the population, and the bullying of the weak are the norm here.

Normally, Charlotte wouldn't mind taking action and breaking all the hands and feet of those bullies, but now... Even if he took the risk of exposure, it would be of no avail, because almost everyone in this camp is rotten.

He can save a group of people who haven't given up hope, but he can't save the fallen who are willing to fall into hell and enjoy it.

The refugees around them, who thought that they would be safe when they came to the holy capital, suddenly lost their hopes and made a panicked sound, which was replaced by wailing after a short while.

At this time, Charlotte had already sneaked into the refugee camp.

In the end, he still didn't choose to take action to sort out the order here, because it was useless at all. In fact, the situation in the refugee camp was so bad that there had been no riots, which was already shocking enough.

After inquiring about it in private, Charlotte found out what was keeping the bottom line in this almost rotten refugee camp, preventing the people here from turning into crazy thugs——

——The ceremony called Shengba performed by the holy capital. People who pass through Shengba can enter the city through the gate and stay away from the hell outside.

This is the last bottom line and hope.

Even those thugs who use violence to dominate others and run rampant in the refugee camp also hope to pass Shengba one day, although the probability of this is estimated to be very small.

On the edge of the refugee camp, near the city gate, it is considered the most orderly area in the entire refugee camp, because there is a group of heavily armed soldiers stationed here.

It seems that although the rulers of the holy capital hardly pay attention to the refugee camps, they have not completely ignored them.

These soldiers are the most powerful guarantee for stabilizing the refugee camps.

Just as Charlotte was hiding in the back of a tent, thinking of a way to bypass the soldiers in front of her and find a way to sneak into the city, the sky suddenly dawned.

Yes, in the blink of an eye, the dark and hazy night disappeared from the sky, and the sun's rays rose before they knew it. This kind of scene where day and night were reversed in an instant, terrified everyone in an instant.

In the camp, many refugees panicked about this situation, and soon there were signs of a camp roar.

"Calm down please, this is a miracle from The Lion King."

But at this moment, a snarl suddenly sounded, and a knight in a coat strode over from the main entrance. He exuded an awe-inspiring aura, like a dazzling sun, and the slam suppressed Ying Xiao's anger. sign.

This knight seemed to have a high reputation among the refugees. Soon, some refugees shouted out in great surprise.

"It's Gao Wenqing, Gao Wenqing of the Knights of the Round Table!"

"San Ba ​​is about to start, you can enter the holy capital..."

The enthusiastic cheers quickly infected the entire refugee camp. For a while, the refugee camp, which was rotten before, was revived again, which made Charlotte gasp.

"Everyone, I sincerely thank you for taking the initiative to come to this holy capital. The age of mankind has been destroyed, and this tiny world is about to perish."

The knight named Gawain stood in front of the cheering refugees and shouted loudly: "The Lord has sent judgment, there is no room for human beings to live on any land on the ground..."

"...Our saints are all complete and perfect pure white millennium kingdoms, pass through this main gate, and an ideal world is waiting for you inside."

The cheers were deafening. Seeing the hope revealed in front of them, as if seeing the gate of heaven opened, the cheers of the refugees became even more enthusiastic.

But for some reason, Charlotte felt the absurdity and uneasiness when she felt the warm atmosphere around her and looked at the knights in front of her and the soldiers beside her.

Suddenly, Charlotte sensed that something was staring at him, piercing through the tents and refugees one by one, looking straight at his position.

Then, he raised his head and subconsciously looked up to where his gaze was.

On the main entrance of the holy capital, a man in silver armor and white robe wearing a lion mask is looking down from a height.

Chapter 206 Holy Punishment

On the main entrance of the holy capital, a man in silver armor and white robe wearing a lion mask is looking down from a height.He stood on a high place like this, and had a panoramic view of everything in the entire refugee camp below.

He just appeared above the city gate so suddenly, like a king, overlooking the land.

And at this moment, not only Charlotte, but everyone in the refugee camp raised their heads without exception, looking up at the pure white king who seemed to be standing in the sky.

Without any doubts, anyone who sees him will immediately confirm his identity. He is the undisputed ruler of this city called the Holy Capital, known as the Lion King, who rules The King of Knights of the Round Table and many knights.

Refugees, one by one, no matter how noisy they were before, they all fell silent in the sight of the Lion King at this moment. Thousands of refugees, just a line of sight from him, completely fell silent.

Some refugees showed surprised expressions on their faces, but more of them showed fanatic expressions one by one, as if they saw the gods descending to the world.

However, there were still a very small number of refugees, their faces turned ugly, and then they quietly started to retreat towards the wilderness when everyone's attention was attracted.

Clearly, something is wrong with this situation.

Of course, there are only a very small number of these people, and their clothes are brighter than most of the refugees, and they even carry weapons. Refugees are like soldiers.

But at this time, no one noticed them, even Gawain, the Knight of the Round Table, and the Lion King standing on the city gate turned a blind eye to these leaving people.

However, it was not only these people who noticed something was wrong, Charlotte, who was very close to the city gate at the moment, had already realized something was extremely wrong.

For some reason, the Lion King's gaze was locked on his location.

Although it was just a line of sight, when it came over, Charlotte's body stiffened immediately, her face hidden under the cloak became extremely ugly, and her back was dripping with cold sweat.

Without any thought, at this moment, Charlotte subconsciously used the breath-shielding ability brought by the Assassin rank spirit base.

Gather all your own aura, reduce your own sense of existence, and accommodate and unite with the surrounding environment, making yourself an unremarkable and ordinary one among all living beings and all things around you.

This kind of ability suitable for assassination, infiltration, and stealing information was not valued by Charlotte. After all, the spirit base integrated into him only came from an Assassin, and it was very weak.

That Assassin's strength was not as good as his own before he was alive, and he could not leave any gifts after death, so Charlotte never took the Assassin class spirit foundation seriously.

But at this moment, he realized for the first time that even for the weakest Assassin, his spirit foundation also belonged to one of the miraculous individuals, the Heroic Spirit, and the abilities he carried could not be described by ordinary things at all.

An aura cover that has little effect on combat effectiveness, at this moment, has become the best cover.

After starting it, Charlotte immediately felt that the lion king's gaze was no longer as direct as it was at the beginning, as if it had completely fallen on him.

Instead, it just stays around him, and after sweeping past him, it doesn't stay any longer.

In response, Charlotte gasped in a low voice, sweating all over her head.

"Monster." Charlotte, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at the Lion King, for fear that he would look at him again, commented on the king standing on the city gate in a very weak voice.

A monster in human form, but completely inhuman in nature.

This is a more terrifying monster than the Balrog that Novigrad encountered, who seemed to be a demon lord... Perhaps, even the Balrog in its heyday may not be able to compare with this Lion King.

Depending on the situation, his plan to infiltrate the Holy Capital is about to go bankrupt... Living under the sight of such monsters all day long, Charlotte doesn't have any confidence not to expose herself.

"Go, you must go."

……

The Lion King, who was overlooking everything below, paused for a while at a certain location in the refugee camp at the gate of the city, and then shifted to other places.

Then, He spoke, and his incomparably flat voice echoed under the sky, his cold and ruthless tone was like the words of God.

"...the number of people who can be led to the end is very limited, and the essence of human beings is corrupt and ugly." The Lion King, who hid his face with a mask, said slowly in the eyes of the refugees who worshiped and seemed to be looking at gods. "Therefore, I will conduct a selection, select those souls that will never be defiled, and select those souls that will never be shaken by evil... Innate, eternally innocent human beings."

As the words fell, a pure white light spread out centered on the Lion King, covering the refugee camp with thousands of people in an instant.

In a flurry of panic, feeling the pure white light, the refugees became quiet one after another, and at this moment, among the thousands of refugees, some people began to emit a pure golden radiance.

There are four people in total.

A middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, a young woman with a haggard face, a woman holding her child, and not far from the gate of the city, wearing a tattered cloak...Charlotte, who was shocked by this situation.

What the hell does this happen?

Encountered by the pure white light, a golden radiance lit up his body. Charlotte, who was not prepared for this at all, stood there in amazement. Under the eyes of the surrounding refugees and the eyes of the knights looking at him, she didn't dare to move at all. .

Before he could sort out all these changes, the voice of the Lion King sounded again.

"San Ba ​​has been completed, only welcome these four people into the city, go and recover, Gao Wenqing."

"According to the order."

The surrounding refugees, after the voice of the Lion King, stared at them with envious and jealous eyes, which made Charlotte feel uncomfortable.

Da da da.

At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded, and some heavily armed knights walked into the refugees, preparing to take the man who was shining with gold just now.

Under the eyes of everyone, especially under the eyes of the Lion King on the city gate, Charlotte did not dare to overstep, obediently followed the knight who came to greet him, and came to the man named Gawain together with the other three. In front of the Knights of the Round Table.

No, there is one more person, the child that the woman is holding.

Seeing the four people approaching, Gao Wen nodded, and then stepped out of the crowd, stepped over the four people, and stood in front of the refugees.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry, but this is also to maintain future generations." He said in a regretful tone. "The king expects you to be punished, so—the holy punishment will begin now."

Chapter 207 Angry

Holy Baptism, Holy Punishment, one selection, one punishment.

At the end of the Holy Baptism, after four people qualified to enter the Holy Capital were selected, Gao Wen, who presided over the opening of the Holy Baptist Ceremony, passed the four qualified people and stood in front of the refugees. At some point, the knights who surrounded the refugee camp issued an order to purge them.

And the ones who were purged were the people in front of them who failed to pass Shengba.

While everyone was in a daze, the heavily armed knights pulled out their swords one after another, and the sound of the neatly unsheathed blades tore apart the silence of the refugees.

"Hey... this is, isn't it a lie?" An unbelievable voice uttered from the mouth of a trembling refugee watching the scene in front of him. "Wait a minute, why did you raise your sword..."

However, what responded to him was the invisible knight, silently raising his cold blade.Then, amidst the refugee's panicked begging for mercy, he cut off his head with a sword.

The scene of blood splattered ignited the emotions of all the refugees at once, and the despair and fear accumulated in the wilderness struggled to survive, all vented out at this moment.

The greater the hope, the greater the despair.

People who think that the holy capital will be the gate of heaven, at this moment, welcome the open gate of hell.

There were screams one after another, the panicked crowd huddled together, and the refugees in panic tried to stay away from the knights holding weapons one by one, but in panic, they collided together.

The numbers did not give them any advantage. In front of these heavily armed knights who were proficient in killing and coordination, the one-sided massacre began.

They couldn't even escape. Hundreds of knights had surrounded the entire refugee camp. One against ten was not a difficulty at all for these knights.

What's more, what they have to deal with is not elite fighters, but a group of shabby and emaciated refugees in tattered clothes.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people fell into a pool of blood.
