Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 133 Entering the City
The moment the city gate opened, the refugees who had been wandering around the gate suddenly rushed in like crazy!
"Let us in! We abandoned our hometown and came to the capital because of the Grand Duke's order. How could you not let us in?"
"There are demons everywhere outside. How can you leave us out there?"
"Let us in!"
Some of the refugees shouted loudly.
Marvin narrowed his eyes slightly, Isabel had a blank expression on her face, but the people behind her immediately changed color.
Their faces turned ugly!
What happened? Did something happen in the capital and they no longer accept civilians?
"Sir?" Isabel asked softly.
"Let's wait and see." Marvin signaled to stay calm.
Having experienced the baptism of the demon army, it is normal for Lavis's city defense to be stricter, but these refugees are ordinary people, so it is a bit strange not to let them enter the city.
…
Perhaps the guards in charge of guarding the city gate did not expect these refugees to suddenly burst out with such powerful strength. Several soldiers holding shields were even pushed away!
A gap appeared in the city gate, and the refugees cheered and prepared to rush in.
However, at this moment, a low and fierce whistle sounded!
“Stand back!”
This was not shouted out in the common language, but more like an ancient and complex prophecy. Although it only had two bytes, it gave people a shocking power!
In an instant, all the civilians froze there.
Fear appeared in their eyes. They wanted to rush into the city, but they couldn't help themselves.
Many people showed unwilling expressions.
They are already very close!
He was about to charge in, but was beaten back by this roar!
“Stand back!”
The man growled again.
The refugees gathered in front of them fell to the ground, their legs weakened, and some even began to run around dancing.
Under the guards' fearful gazes, a man in black slowly walked out of the city gate.
There was a strong contempt in his eyes:
"You are just a bunch of ants. Do you think you can enter the city?"
"Don't you even look at your own identity?"
"Farmer? Merchant? Bricklayer... Bricklayers are quite useful. My residence is broken. If you can fix it, I can allow you to enter the city."
His eyes swept over them one by one, and his words were extremely cold.
The others all showed sad looks. They wanted to speak, but were directly shocked by the powerful force and lost the ability to speak!
Marvin frowned.
To deal with a group of civilians, he even used deterrent spells.
This warlock is really going too far.
Daniela's men?
He felt something was wrong.
"Let's go and take a look."
He didn't discuss it with anyone else and just walked over.
The rest of the people stood there in a daze. Everyone saw what had just happened.
The man in black robe obviously holds the power. He doesn't let anyone in. Does this young man have any other solution?
But they are all people who have left their homes. If the king does not take them in, they don’t know how they will get through the night!
In addition, considering the terrifying fighting ability that Isabel had shown before, everyone looked at each other and finally followed.
…
In front of the city gate, the bricklayer who was called packed up his things ecstatically, holding the hands of two girls, one big and one small, and prepared to enter the city.
Who knew that the man in black shouted coldly:
"slow!"
The mason's face suddenly showed an uneasy look: "What's wrong, sir?"
Just snorted coldly: "When did I say that others are allowed to enter the city?"
"You are the only one. The rest of you are trash and have no qualifications."
The bricklayer's face flushed red and he was trembling all over. Under the shock of Juster's powerful spell, he was unable to speak for a long time.
Just ignored him coldly and looked at the others. After sweeping his eyes across the entire audience, he suddenly said, "Pooh!"
"I thought there were some capable people here, but you are all a bunch of trash. You trash are totally incapable of contributing to the King's capital, so why should you let us protect you?"
"What qualifications do you have to enter the city?"
However, at this moment, the bricklayer standing between the refugees and the city gate suddenly shouted:
"They are not trash!"
Juster frowned and stared at the bricklayer with eyes like a poisonous snake.
The poor mason gritted his teeth and whispered: "They are my daughters..."
"Dad, I'm scared..." A little girl in ragged clothes hugged the bricklayer's thigh tightly, showing a look of fear.
Another older girl also looked uneasy. She tucked her long brown hair and looked a little at a loss.
Just looked at them and said coldly, "Very good."
"Get out of here!"
The bricklayer pulled the two little girls, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked away, and walked into the crowd.
Everyone looked angry, but no one dared to say anything.
The guards looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Lord Juster's performance when the demon army attacked the city was obvious to all. If he hadn't killed those big demons, the city gate might have been forced down.
Such a glorious military achievement allowed him to obtain this position. Even if these weak soldiers wanted to sympathize with the refugees outside the gate, what could they do?
After all, they themselves are living a precarious life.
…
"What's going on?"
The crowd made way for a gap and a small group of militiamen came out.
The leader was a muscular man holding a big sword: "Sir, the warrant we received does not seem to be like this."
"You have misunderstood." Just said indifferently: "You are all useful to the principality, you can enter the city."
The militia captain nodded: "Then the villagers we escorted..."
"Absolutely not!"
Just said impatiently: "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?"
"This is an extraordinary period. I make the final decision on city defense matters. If I say no, it means no."
"I don't know what warrant you received, but in my opinion, trash that only wastes food is not eligible to enter the city!"
Several militiamen immediately got angry. Some of their relatives were among the villagers: "Then we won't go into the city!"
"The Grand Duke's order clearly states that everyone must seek refuge in the capital. Everyone!"
"Yes! Without this warrant, we would not have left our homeland and come here!"
Just shouted angrily: "You are soldiers!"
"You must obey my orders!"
【Absolute domination】!
This is a spell equivalent to the third ring, and it is absolutely effective against ordinary people with average willpower!
The militiamen immediately lowered their heads, and in the shocked eyes of the others, they obeyed Juster's orders and walked into the city one by one.
Even if their loved ones were calling their names, they seemed unable to hear!
Just smiled with satisfaction.
However, at this moment, a careless voice sounded in his ear:
"Please make way, we need to go into the city."
