Such words are not unreasonable, but people are not really hard-hearted after all. Who would not feel compassion when seeing such a scene.
Of course Scar is also a compassionate person, and he also wants to help these people, but as the current leader of the team, he cannot be emotional and must make the most calm and correct decision at all times. He cannot give food to these people
People, as the members of the group just said, from the long journey they took into this dark area, these refugees will never be able to get out. Just when he was about to let all the members go back to have dinner, the sound of carts and horses turning wooden axes came outside the town.
The cart was pulled by a kind of carrion-eating beast. It could not walk very fast but had good endurance, so it was called a tapir. Seven carts pulled by tapirs entered the town, and each cart was loaded with bulging linen cloth.
Bag, the leader walking at the front, holding a bronze lamp in the shape of a torch, was a nun.
This nun is short and thin. She wears silver and black clothes with a red church coat of arms on her chest. She holds a torch in her right hand and holds the church staff in her left hand. Following her are all church members, both men and women.
, but the number was not large, and there were only five nuns at the head.
When the refugees saw the leading nun, they scrambled to their feet, ran and climbed around her, and cried excitedly: "Great nun, you are finally back. I thought you had forgotten us."
Nearly two hundred people suddenly ran out of the dark street, and lights came on in some rooms.
The nun noticed the members of the Bloody Mercenary Group, jumped out of the car, raised the church staff in her hand, and said to the refugees: "God will not forget every one of His people and those who will become His people. I will give you food on behalf of God."
I brought it, hurry up and get some water to make porridge."
The refugees were extremely happy, and their frail bodies seemed to have regained some energy.
Scar saw it and asked in a low voice: "What church do these people belong to?"
Ke'er said: "Looking at the church patterns on his clothes, he is a semi-banned person."
"It's a semi-forbidden religion." Retired military officer Lukwen confirmed.
The water taken was not clean, and after being treated by semi-forbidden personnel, it was barely enough for cooking and eating.
The woman dressed as a nun ordered her followers to cook food, queue up to distribute it to everyone, and then came over to the Bloody Mercenary Group: "Hello, you are just passing through."
"Yes, we are the Bloody Mercenary Group and have just arrived in this town. Are you from the Semi-Forbidden Cult?" Scar asked.
The woman nodded and deliberately put the staff with the church logo in front of her: "I am the semi-forbidden priest Leeds. You have penetrated so deep into the disaster area, and you must have encountered a lot of difficulties when you arrived here. Is there anything you need our help with?"
"
"Uh, no." Seeing that there was no major safety risk, Dao Scar asked his men to go back to his companions for dinner first, while he stayed with a few key members of the group.
Irina asked: "Did you bring them food on purpose?"
Priest Leeds, wearing a silver and black hat crown on his head, nodded and said: "We, the Semi-forbidden Church, have been searching for the victims in disaster areas. Most of them came from other places and stayed here because they could no longer walk.
Fortunately, I met them, otherwise I don’t know how many people would have starved to death." She turned around and said, "We collected a total of fifty carts of food from outside, and part of it was sent to other places in need by other church members.
I originally brought eleven vehicles here, but we encountered some troubles on the road and lost a lot, and one of my companions was killed."
"Oh, that's unfortunate."
"He can go to heaven without having to face the miserable scenes of the world, and live in a happy world without sorrow and pain under the protection of God. From this point of view, there is no misfortune."
Scar and the others chatted with these semi-forbidden cultists for a while, learned about some situations in other places, and also asked some questions, but nothing was gained.
The refugees who had eaten the food felt much more energetic. The semi-imprisoned congregation brought out violins and other musical instruments, and Priest Leeds sang a soothing song for the refugees with the accompaniment of the instruments.
This song can not only soothe the heartache and pain, but also have some healing effects. After listening to it, everyone no longer feels so depressed and uncomfortable, and a glimmer of hope for the beauty of the world is ignited.
The people of the Semi-Forbidden Cult also saw the bones of children who had been eaten. They just buried them without making any harsh accusations, and spread the morality and teachings of the Semi-Forbidden Cult to them.
Under the love and inspiration of the priest, many people expressed their willingness to convert to the semi-forbidden religion and become loyal believers. The priest held a ceremony for them to enter the religion at the scene and preached the teachings to them.
Several members of the Bloody Mercenary Group were infected by it and joined the semi-forbidden religion. There is no restriction on religious belief in the mercenary group. Some of them were already believers in certain churches when they became members of the Bloody Mercenary Group.
Under Bimoye's suggestion and Scar's instruction, the Bloody Mercenary Group also provided some help to the refugees within their capabilities, mainly exchanging some food, exchanging dried meat for some grain and dried corn kernels, and providing them with
A small amount of medicine.
The priest expressed his gratitude on behalf of the refugees. At the same time, they planned to rest for a few more hours and prepare to take the refugees out of here, and invited the Bloody Mercenary Group to accompany them.
Scar refused, as they were going in different directions.
Because they could not tell the difference between day and night, the members of the Bloody Mercenary Group left the town after resting for a few hours. Before leaving, the priest gave them a more detailed map of the area and wished them peace.
…
In the north of the continent, within the Demon Moon Empire, the ceremony to return the body of Christine Hanard has ended. The Gripen Empire returned the commander's body, which is a humiliation to the Demon Moon Empire, but as the head of the five major families in the imperial capital
, and the Seventeenth Emperor must order the return of the heroes who died in battle with no less than the second highest standards, and bury them in the Heroes Cemetery in the Imperial Capital with the highest ceremony of an officer.
On the day of the burial, the whole city observed a solemn silence. Calvin, who was serving as ambassador in Disman, also rushed back to attend his brother's burial ceremony. Envoys from various countries also participated.
This matter was a shame, but the king was able to use a grand ceremony to show the empire's courtesy to loyal soldiers to boost the morale of the army and the people. But the shame, Demon Moon would never tolerate it, and the seventeenth generation had already settled with Zarbo, the king of San Bikea
The two countries had in-depth contacts and exchanges, and a storm of counterattack against the Creation Kingship was brewing between the two countries.
Excluding the hunt for the Illuminati and the demon clan, this is the first true war alliance between the two countries in the past two thousand years. Although this alliance is only an independent war in their respective territories,
At the military level, joint cooperation and some exchange of intelligence have begun.
