In a small border town in the Dolores Empire, before it was burned down, although it was not wealthy, it had always been the first small town full of happiness that could ensure that civilians could live and work in peace and contentment.
Since this place is far away from the Dolores Empire's capital city, Glory City, many of the Dolores Empire's instructions cannot be conveyed to this small city in time. Even if they are conveyed, the original meaning will undergo relatively large changes.
, in fact, these things do not bother the common people living here so much. The people living here just love this land. They love their hometown, even if they encounter many injustices, even if many people here
Everything is not as good as other big cities, but as long as you love this land deeply, what does it matter?
Until the devil returned to the Alk continent again, the originally peaceful and happy rhythm of life here was broken.
Because this place is far away from the capital, the conditions for military garrison and weapons and other equipment are not good enough. As the lord of this small border town, he issued a decree from a certain day:
No one is allowed to go out from now on to avoid being attacked by demons.
After many battles with demons, humans have discovered a weakness of demons, that is, low-level demons do not seem to have the ability to think independently. They only act with beast-like consciousness, and whatever appears in their eyes
All humans will be attacked like crazy by them, but if humans hide in their homes, they will keep wandering on the streets and will only leave after finding no target to attack.
Because this border town is small and far away, only some remaining low-level demons will visit here.
After the city lord promulgated the decree, some people would try to sneak out at night at first, because the vegetables in their vegetable fields had not been watered for several days and they had not been taken care of. If they did not go to the vegetable fields, their family would be in trouble this year.
He will definitely starve to death. Some people are eager to see a doctor because the pain in their body is so unbearable that they can only take the risk and secretly come to the doctor's door to try their luck. Maybe some people succeed, but the vast majority
It is inevitable for people to end up in jail.
As more and more people tried to go out secretly, the city lord continued to issue decrees. He ordered the soldiers to nail up all the doors of these people's homes, and then deliver food to every household every three days. The city lord firmly believed that as long as
If you insist on doing this, you will definitely protect this small town from the slaughter of monsters.
It was okay at first. Although the people kept complaining, their lives were still okay. Although the food sent by the city lord was not delicious, it could still fill their stomachs. But one month is enough, two months is enough, half a year, or a year?
More and more people have psychological problems, and more and more people are starting to go crazy. They have no income, are locked up at home without any means of entertainment, they start banging their heads on the door of their house, and they start constantly
They cried and yelled at home, but no one could open the door for them.
At first, some people tried to commit suicide. Later, more and more people could not bear it anymore and chose to end their lives at home. For these people who gave up their lives, even if they were not killed by the devil, they would one day be killed by the devil.
starve.
The farmers' land has become overgrown with weeds and can no longer be planted. All the goods in the merchant's shop have deteriorated and been damaged. Who is responsible for compensating for their losses? The tavern has been out of business for several months, but the city lord will still collect the goods.
How can we survive due to land tax?
Finally, on a seemingly peaceful night, the last fuse that sparked the anger in the hearts of the people was lit.
A house suddenly caught fire, but the doors of these people's homes had been nailed shut, and the whole family had to be burned alive in the house. This method of death was comparable to the most appalling torture. Moreover, the layout of this house was similar to other
Several houses were connected together. If one house was destroyed by fire, then several houses in a row were affected. In the end, nineteen people were burned alive in the house, while the residents opposite the fire scene could only watch helplessly.
Looking at this scene, I had to use my ears to listen to the cries and cries for help of those who were about to be burned to death.
"Help! Someone come and open the door!"
"Please! Save my child! He is only three years old! "
These tragic scenes were all seen by the residents who were locked up in their homes on the other side. When several houses were burned to ashes by the fire, these people finally could not restrain the anger in their hearts. At first, several people forcibly demolished their houses.
Immediately, they helped more people open the doors of their homes, and all the residents of the small town began to march on the streets. They came to the city lord's fortress and asked the city lord to give them their freedom and give a life to the nineteen people who were burned to death in the fire.
statement.
Under pressure, the city lord had to agree to everyone's request. The city lord said that he was also thinking about everyone's lives, but he did not expect such a thing to happen, but it was because the nineteen people had poor self-protection awareness and they did not use wet cloths.
They sealed the cracks in their doors and windows, so before the soldiers could break down the door to rescue them, they were already dead from the poisonous smoke at home.
Naturally, the residents would not listen to this statement, but under the pressure of the weapons in the hands of the city lord's soldiers, they returned home angrily. In any case, the nineteen names did not pass away in vain, they were exchanged for the names of other residents.
Freedom, freedom of life, freedom of life.
Although this small border town failed to withstand the demon's attack in the end, and all the people in the city eventually died in this small town, no one showed fear of death on their faces, and they used their lives to protect this small town.
To protect this land they love, the city lord, like every other citizen, fought to the last moment.
This is a small city without a name, and almost no one knows their story, but every time the breeze blows gently over this land, the rain gently washes away this deeply loved land, and the countless things buried in the land
The cries of people and the lives sacrificed by countless people to protect this place will resonate with all things in nature.
Most people follow instructions and abide by laws, but if either party goes too far, there will be some misunderstandings or even escalation of misunderstandings, but I believe that in fact, people at both levels will eventually
Those who stand together have only one purpose, which is to make their lives better.
