After listening to Phil Frye's detailed description, everyone lowered their heads in shame when they learned that the sage had revealed his identity because he was protecting the villagers from being killed.
This is all because of a strange dogma of the Holy Law Watch Group - no Holy Law Watcher is allowed to intervene in any battle between humans unless it is related to matters involving sages.
To put it more plainly, if non-human creatures such as dragon beasts or evil monsters threaten human life, it is the duty of the holy law watchers to join the battle and protect human beings.
But if it is just a fight between people, even if it is just a gangster oppressing the weak people, the guardians of the Holy Law must not intervene. Even if it is like this in a small way, let alone thieves disrupting one party or a war between countries, then
It is even less possible to intervene.
Most of the Watchers of the Holy Law do not know how hard it is to bear the grievances due to this dogma. However, when they joined the Watchers, they all swore an oath to abide by the dogma, so even if they see injustice, they can easily resolve it with a raise of their hands.
, but there is nothing we can do.
However, despite this dogma, due to concerns about the deterrent power of the largest non-governmental organization, the Holy Law Watch Group, as long as there is a place where the Watch Group is stationed, everyone can basically live in peace.
And there is another dogma - the pain of one is the pain of all, the hatred of one is the hatred of all, and the blood of one is the blood of all.
So anyone with a bad mind knows that as long as anything does not involve the Holy Law Watchers, this largest organization will ignore no matter how excessive human atrocities are. This was also the time when Agel wanted to shoot the Shadow Guardian.
, the reason why You Ye would be willing to block arrows with his body.
"If I remember correctly, the leader of the thieves should be a man named 'Beast Heart'." Linda said, "Of course, he originally had another name, but he abandoned it. At that time, my master, the captain of the previous swordsman team, would
When it comes to the beast's heart, it makes my teeth itch with hatred, but there is nothing I can do about it."
"Hmph! Beast Heart, the Beast Bandits." Zijing punched the table, "I wanted to destroy them before I became the leader, and now they dare to bring trouble on their own." At this point, she suddenly
The tone turned calm, showing the leader's charm of serving the crowd. "I am still angry, but the beast is always cautious. Why is it so bold this time to attack the sage directly? How does everyone think of his move?"
"Beast Heart has been operating in the south of Sold for ten years," Faust mused. "In the past ten years, he has only looted, but never killed. But recently, according to the intelligence collected by our scouts, in
Almost no village or town within a three-hundred-mile radius surrounding his stronghold of Kushi Castle was spared."
"Emina," Zijing nodded towards a young woman with long blond hair, about twenty-four or five years old, and a delicate appearance, "the latest investigation briefing, because I haven't had time to tell everyone about the sage. You
What is the content of the latest information collected."
"Indeed, as Mr. Faust said, in the past month, not a single village or town within a radius of three hundred miles around Dry Stone Castle has been spared." Emina frowned and said, "And this time it is no longer just a simple robbery, but a simple robbery.
It was accompanied by brutal massacres. The elderly and children were killed without exception, and the young men and women were escorted back to Dry Stone Castle as prisoners. But because of the dogma..." At this point, everyone felt that she was
Suppressing his anger, "So we didn't delve into this matter. Moreover, if the thieves saw the watchmen of the scout team, they would turn a blind eye and have no intention of infringement. However, we still learned some information inadvertently,
It’s considered incidental information besides the main mission.”
Everyone knew that Emina had witnessed those horrific crimes at the forefront, and the pain in her heart was unimaginable to others. So when she stopped, everyone just looked at her with wide eyes, silently
Wait for her to say what's next.
"Capture..." Emina covered her heart, took several deep breaths, and then said, "Beast Heart plans to capture the port of Sold. His aggressive expansion this time is to gather strength in a short period of time. The captured
The villagers will be intensively trained as soldiers by him in three to four months, and around October, he will launch a war against Sold."
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. They never thought that a mere thief could have such great ambitions.
"Quiet!" Zijing loudly stopped the noisy discussion and said, "There is nothing surprising about this. Not only Beast Heart, but also from the news received by other watch groups, there are hidden riots about to happen in many places. Every year
Drought, despite the kingdom's efforts to provide disaster relief, it seems that the peace of Broken Leaf Kingdom will not last long."
"But even if troubled times are coming, Beast Heart should know it." The young Huo Jian said in confusion, "We, the guardians of the Holy Law, will not participate in the battles between humans."
"It's just that you kids are young and don't understand anything." Bellamy finally came to his senses, walked to the wine cabinet next to him, grabbed a bottle of rum, uncorked the bottle with his teeth, and drank a large amount.
Eloquence continued, "Solde Port takes over half of the country's import and export trade. In addition to the country's fleet, 60% of the private trading ships belong to our watch group. If I were Beast Heart, occupying such a prosperous and important place
The seaport will not be willing to let others share such a large source of funds."
"More than that!"
A short, fat middle-aged man said in a deep voice. He was wearing gorgeous clothes, and around his neck were gold chains decorated with various orbs. His ten sausage-like fingers were all covered with thick
Rings, five or six bracelets hanging on each wrist.
"Richard, what do you want to say?" Bellamy glanced at the other person and said unhappily, "I've said everything that needs to be said, do I need a guy like you who smells like copper to add it to me?"
"Just a little bit." Richard smiled lightly, not caring about Bellamy's offense to him, "Eighty-six percent of the funds of the Holy Law Watch Group come from our Sold Watch Group. In other words
, the Holy Dharma Watchers across the country basically need us to provide them with everything from activity funds, military supplies, construction and repairs, to food, clothing, housing, transportation, needles and threads."
"Beast Heart has made it clear that he wants to drive the Watch Group out of Sold!" Faust said in shock, "Once the financial supply is cut off, and other branches of the Watch Group will probably have a headache because of the local riots,
By then there will be no time to take care of us. The strength of the Holy Law Watch Group will be greatly weakened."
When he said this, everyone immediately felt the seriousness of the situation. They all looked sideways and were speechless for a moment.
"Start the war!" Zijing slammed the table and stood up. Looking at everyone's eyes, he said loudly, "Now is no longer the time to discuss these things slowly. Hang up the red letter flag and formulate a battle plan immediately.
!Whether it is the animal heart that hijacked the sage, or there is a greater ambition hidden behind it, we can no longer let him go."
