Watching the green dragon spray a few mouthfuls of poisonous dragon breath into the burning town, then turn around and disappear into the sky, everyone felt as if their throats had been strangled, unable to speak a single word.
After a long time, Sodik waved his hand tiredly.
"Let's go back first and then we can discuss what to do."
The group returned to the campsite in silence.
Fierce arguments broke out among the merchants as to how the caravan should proceed next.
Some businessmen have the intention of retreating, hoping that the caravan can return to Fanlin Town first to avoid the dragon's sharp edge, and wait until the situation stabilizes to set off again;
Some people think that although it is dangerous, it is obvious that the dragon's target is not them. Perhaps they can pass quickly while the dragon is not focusing on the caravan. As long as they enter the thirty kilometers surrounding Lahar City,
range, then they are safe.
Even the giant dragon does not dare to face the front of the human empire.
Of course, dragons in old age and above are outside the scope of the above discussion.
Those existences above the age of old dragons cannot be competed by small and medium-sized cities like Lahar City.
Not to mention, a few barbarians who disliked the slow speed directly turned on the violent mode and transformed into small excavators, which were even faster.
Sodik took a deep breath and said these words through gritted teeth.
But what everyone knows better is that these guards were recruited by Sodik by himself, and they only obeyed the orders of the halfling.
Looking at the silent back of the paladin, the girl gritted her teeth and followed him.
As dusk approached, the caravan finally arrived near the village that was attacked by the green dragon.
"Yes, sir."
Everyone turned their heads and couldn't bear to look directly.
"this……"
What's more, now with the help of the guards, the guards who came to explore the village with the halflings, except for one rogue who acted as a scout, the rest were warriors and barbarians in the melee profession, with the lowest strength being 18 points.
There are also a few people whose strength attributes have broken through the limits of mortals and reached extraordinary levels.
If these corpses are not buried, the resentment of the deceased will be entangled with them, and eventually the accumulated negative energy will transform the corpses into undead creatures such as skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc., thus threatening the safety of travelers.
"Also, those guys didn't touch the grain stored in the granary at all. Instead, they looted all the valuable things in the village."
"Enough!"
In this way, in less than an hour, several deep pits one foot in diameter and two meters deep were dug.
He was just a free ride, and he was not supposed to, nor was he qualified to dictate the internal decisions of the caravan.
The whole journey was speechless.
"Sir, they are all corpses, no living people."
But what he was even more confused about was that most of the area around Fanlin Town was plains, and there were no large mountains around it. How did this green dragon get here?
What you see upon entering is a village that stinks of blood and burning.
This is not in line with the way of the paladin, and it is not in line with the morality in Ren's heart!
The dead should be buried in peace.
Everyone put the found corpse into the pit together, and Renn took out half of the stock of high-concentration holy water and sprinkled it on the bones. After reciting a few simple prayers, the pit was filled with soil.
In some major decisions, they simply cannot command these stubborn guys.
Under the setting sun, the girl ran hard, just to catch up with the young man, just to stand with him, or to protect him from the wind and rain.
If the halfling has read some classics on the Eastern Continent, he will know that there is an extremely appropriate metaphor for his mood, which is called "The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and everything hurts its own kind".
With the halfling's extremely strong final word, no one in the caravan mentioned the matter of returning. Everyone silently packed up the goods and vehicles and continued to move forward along the increasingly dilapidated road.
Under the setting sun, vultures and crows made piercing and unpleasant cries, circling back and forth over the village, swooping down from time to time, and eating happily on the corpse.
The entire village has long lost the breath of life.
Standing on the hill and looking down, everyone's eyebrows knitted together involuntarily.
In this, Renn did not express a single opinion.
Not even money can open the way.
——In the village, there are ruins everywhere, ashes and debris everywhere, and burnt and killed corpses everywhere.
The halfling obviously didn't take this inconspicuous information to heart, and motioned to Delit to help.
"Although I have guessed it a long time ago, in my heart I still..."
Delit came to Sodik's side and reported.
Since we have to face it sooner or later, it is better to start now.
"Everyone, go help the paladin," he sighed, obviously feeling extremely heavy. "Do some good deeds within your power. When we die and cross the River Styx, those Styx boatmen who are desperate for money may
It will also cost less money.”
"Let's go, let's follow."
Renn patted the pale Angelica and said in a solemn voice:
"In the eyes of the paladin, the corpse should not be desecrated like this!"
Renn's strength of 16 points is at the level of a strongman among ordinary people, and it is easy to dig several large pits to bury corpses.
"Isn't it normal for dragons to be greedy for money?"
…………
The thick smoke formed by the burning flames, mixed with the stench of burnt corpses, shot straight into the sky.
Sodik personally took several guards to explore the village, and Ren and Angelica followed.
Sodik slapped his hand on the table in annoyance, and his face no longer had the halfling smile.
The guard captain responded and then said:
He jumped up onto the table and said gloomily:
"Why are you making such a fuss! Didn't I have someone inform you a long time ago? No matter what, the caravan cannot and will not stop. I think everyone knows who ordered this batch of goods. It's been delayed.
Regarding that person, who do you think can shoulder this responsibility? If you are not afraid that your wife and children will be implicated later, you can go back. I, Sodik, will not stop you in the slightest, but none of these caravan guards will protect you.
Don’t even think about taking it away! I, Sodik, said so!”
It would be fine if he didn't see it, but now that it's in his eyes, he can't just sit back and ignore it.
Just follow the big army.
Too bad!
"Let's go in and see if anyone survives by chance."
If she wants to stand with Ren, forever and ever, then one day, she will have to face what he faces.
Everyone understands that it is unthinkable for the merchants to return to Fanlin Town without guards.
The impact of this scene is enough to shake the mind of an intelligent creature.
After doing all this, everyone looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the distance between each other had become much closer.
At least those who can do these are not from the evil camp, right?
Renn looked at the prompt that suddenly popped up, with a smile on his lips.
"Note: Your behavior shifts your own camp toward the good camp."
