The little Schleyling has become a microcosm of the entire world.
Riots broke out uncontrollably.
The "kind people" who were still struggling yesterday have always had hope in their hearts, hoping that the dawn will eventually come.
Nobles and scholars have all said that the long night will eventually dissipate, just after the longest "six months". But now they find that they have been deceived!
"It's over, it's all lies, it's all lies!"
"I mean, those landowners and nobles have all gone to the Holy Capital. They even sold their ancestral properties at a cheap price. They have news and they are looking for their own way out."
"We have been left behind, and only we will be destroyed along with the world."
"Why is it not dawn yet? Am I not pious enough? I sacrificed my children and wife to you. Please give us dawn again!"
"It's so unfair, so unfair. We also have the right to live. At least tell us what happened."
"Weren't there some Muyin people before? They said that the end was coming and the sun would not shine. As a result, they were regarded as liars by everyone and were even driven away by the lord. I regret that I even threw stones at them."
When the long night comes again, most people can wait patiently at first, but when the night refuses to fade away, everyone gradually changes from hope to despair again.
Breaking, smashing and looting? Here we go.
Burning, killing, and plundering? They are also here.
Crazy sacrifices and hysterical suicides? Not absent either.
This time, despair spread too quickly, leaving everyone in the know dumbfounded.
Among them, are there any cultists or doomsdayers involved? There certainly are, and there are many.
In fact, doomsday theorists and cultists have been active. Various doomsday preachers come one after another. The evil gods need panic and despair to spread their doctrines, expand their followers, and finally make a fortune. Among them, the most vicious ones
Yes, you are just one step away from being a quasi-god.
At this time, they had a huge advantage that even the true gods did not have. Taking advantage of the opportunity to establish the Kingdom of God on the earth, they directly dug up a large area of surface land on the Silent Mountains. Just like the new sun god, they took away their hometown and...
their tribesmen.
In places where Lu Ping'an and others cannot reach, wars and battles have long been intensified. In the Holy City as the center, there are at least three divine battles a day. Rule-level experts enter the battlefield in dozens, competing for the opportunity and resources to become gods.
Today's Holy Capital has long been transformed into a large-scale battlefield of deadly battles, with countless refugees fleeing every day. But at the same time, more refugees are fleeing into it.
Chaos, accompanied by the second escape of the sun, spread uncontrollably throughout the world.
Some local lords were hanged by the mob on their castles before they even had time to react.
What about their knights and guards? Oh, the leaders are the original guards. Who can guarantee that their sanity is still online? Who can guarantee that they will remain loyal in desperate situations?
The fact is contrary to the imagination of most lords. The knights closest to them know more or less some "secrets", and when the secrets become reality, they are the ones who collapse the fastest.
In just two days, the Shrine Territory received countless letters and knights asking for help. In just the beginning, four of the seven surrounding lords had already been hanged.
When the people, knights, and power holders below fall into despair, their first priority is to find someone to take responsibility.
".What is the status of the Knights?"
"The mood is very stable. The previous move of bringing over all the knights' families was considered the right thing to do."
Hearing this, Lu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.
Amid the chaos, Schleyling stands out.
There is no other reason, it’s just because Lu Ping’an and his party are here. Don’t get me wrong, they didn’t do anything.
In other territories, there are also cunning lords and nobles, and some of them have even leaked information and communicated with their knights. But just words cannot solve any problem.
When the expected desperate situation really comes, when some lords still hold one or two tickets to leave, the knowledgeable knights will honestly help them suppress the desperate people first, and then wait obediently to die.
?
Perhaps, they will try to snatch the tickets first. If the snatching fails, at least let everyone die together!
".The end is coming much sooner than expected."
Of the seven predicted plagues, the third has not yet begun. Just the rekindling and extinguishing of the sun has completely plunged many areas into madness and destruction.
"Haha, there are still four families that have survived, which is more than I expected."
The old lord was eating fruit and still in a mood to joke.
He does have something to be proud of. In this border territory, Schleyling is simply outstanding.
On the square, there are more than twenty fresh and bloody heads, most of which are instigators and careerists behind the scenes. On the walls of other cities, there are at least several hundred hangings, some of which are rioters, and some of which are original lords and businessmen.
.
In Schleyland, knights were on duty in the square, priests of the Holy Fire distributed good porridge in the church, and the market was still operating, except for the initial chaos, as if nothing had happened.
The reason? It's actually very simple. It's just that the lord has a safe road and successfully bought the knights.
The Schrei Territory is not big, with only a knighthood of more than a hundred people as its core armed force, but almost all of them are extraordinary or candidate extraordinary people, and their strength is far beyond that of ordinary mortals.
In border areas, public security relies on local militia, mercenaries and a very small number of territorial knights. Generally speaking, it is good for a village to have three or five extraordinary combat forces. The main force is always ordinary people who are half peasants and half militia. They are basically
Without the opportunity for off-the-job training, his combat power can be ignored in front of professionals and extraordinary people.
How many mortals can one sealed knight defeat? I'm afraid as long as you give him time, thousands of them can kill them all alone.
In this era, as long as the lords grasp the knights under their command, their status is actually very stable, and as long as the king obtains the support of the lords, he also indirectly controls most of the extraordinary power, and the country will naturally be stable.
When the riots broke out, Lu Ping'an and his party not only did nothing, but even asked each group to leave the crowd. Among the rioting locals, outsiders, strangers, and foreigners were simply the best targets for venting.
He didn't even do anything. Those who suppressed the desperate were only the local armed forces in this territory, the knights who had already been bribed.
The knights just performed the tasks assigned by the lords, found out the lurkers and instigators, and then got rid of them. Then they hung up a few people who took the lead in vandalism, smashing, and looting, and everything stabilized.
Then, the lord and the local Holy Fire Church opened the few granaries and began to distribute food, and everything calmed down naturally.
"Those who master the power of force in troubled times are equal to possessing everything."
This is the truth, simple and crude but extremely effective.
Lu Ping'an did nothing. He even asked other outsiders not to suppress the riot. However, because of their existence, the lord had the bargaining chip to bribe the knights, so until the last moment, the knights were still emotionally stable and loyal to their duties. At least they acted like
Stablize.
"Outsiders have a lot of tickets."
This news has been spread within the Knights, and the two captains and the participants of the forest battle have personally been to the courtyard, so it is convincing enough.
".Never mind what the knights do, don't even look at it if you don't want nightmares."
Even though Lu Ping'an said this, the explorers who came back still suffered a heavy blow in their hearts.
The few urban areas in Schlailand have been stabilized by the knights, but the border villages and small towns have completely fallen into corruption and chaos. It is said that more than a dozen people were sacrificed on the burning platform.
Not the same kind.
The knights sent out patrols, saying words that they didn't believe, and walked around, and the situation improved slightly.
"Is this a precursor to the collapse of social order?"
Even at this moment, Lu Ping'an still didn't feel that the social order of Schlaier had completely collapsed.
But no one is confident how long this order can last? Ten days? Half a month? Or.
"It will take up to two months for us to consider the next step."
