After the emergency meeting, the senior council members spread the news that the Black Balrogs were about to attack.
The originally peaceful atmosphere in Doro City suddenly fell into panic.
Merchants doing business in Doluo City began to evacuate one after another, and the shops on the streets closed their doors.
Capable civilians packed up their belongings and fled Doro City with their families.
The entire city of Doluo felt like it was doomed.
In fact, in the history of Doro City, there has never been an attack by the Black Flame Demon, and probably no one has actually seen the Black Flame Demon.
The Black Flame Demon has always been a legend, a story in people's hearts, constantly spreading terrifying impressions in people's hearts.
No one can tell whether it is really as terrifying as the legend says, but that doesn't mean they are willing to face the Black Flame Demon.
The civilians would rather flee into the desert and rush to other cities all the way than stay in Doluo City and face the Black Flame Demon.
This is just like a zombie. Zombies have always been in legends and are extremely scary. But has anyone seen a real zombie?
If you hear that zombies are coming, even if you have never seen them, you will still be afraid, and you will stay away as long as you can.
This is the human tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
The city was already in panic, and Jikel stepped forward as the city lord. Only then did he truly show himself as a city lord.
A large number of Doluo City guards took to the streets to maintain law and order, going door to door to comfort them.
For those who had already escaped or those who were about to escape, Jikel did not do much to stop them and left as they wished.
The more civilians he organizes, the greater the hope of escaping and surviving together.
As for the nobles, it is impossible to escape. The high councilors are going to the battlefield to fight to the death with the Black Balrogs. If the nobles still want to escape, the high councilors can tear them apart without Jikel saying anything.
On weekdays, they dominate and enjoy the benefits that Duoluo City bestows on them. But in times of crisis, they want to abandon the city and flee. Are you kidding me?!
Not to mention, some nobles actually committed crimes and escaped overnight.
As a result, the soldiers sent by Jikel and the high councilors caught up with them, killed them mercilessly, and returned with their heads.
The rest of the private soldiers who escaped and survived were incorporated into the slave regiment. They would be the first wave to face the Black Flame Demons and be used as cannon fodder to die.
Many nobles who wanted to escape but failed to escape were also found out one by one, and Jikel put them under house arrest.
The remaining nobles were gathered at the Eagle God Pyramid for a meeting. The content of the meeting was of course to encourage them to bravely fight the Black Flame Demon and contribute to Doro City.
No matter whether they are willing or not at this time, there is no way out and they can only bite the bullet.
Martial law began in Doluo City, and private soldiers and guards took to the streets to maintain public order.
Xiaobai came to the Pyramid of the Eagle God and asked to see Jikel.
When he saw Jikel, Xiaobai was stunned. In this short period of time, Jikel seemed to have aged by more than ten years, and even his hair had turned white.
The pressure between life and death and the countless troubles in the city all weighed on Jikel during this period, leaving him almost breathless.
Xiaobai's request gave Jikel a chance to breathe. While eating the steak, he pointed to the seat in front of him. He was very busy, and even facing Xiaobai, he couldn't spare much time.
After meeting Xiaobai, he also had to meet with envoys from other cities. In order to improve his chances of winning, he wanted to second soldiers from surrounding cities to help him fight.
After Xiaobai sat down, Jikel swallowed the steak in two mouthfuls, took a sip of ice water, and said hurriedly to Xiaobai: "There is no etiquette now. I don't have time. If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly."
Xiaobai also knew that time was precious at this time, and said to Jikel: "I hope you will release the prisoners in the prison."
Jikel stopped eating, raised his head and looked at Xiaobai and said: "At this time, you ask me to release those prisoners. Do you think Doro City is not chaotic enough now? I can't possibly release them."
Xiaobai shook his head and said to Jikel: "Lord, please take a look. The city of Doluo is already in chaos now. How much more chaos can it get? But the prisoners in the prison are different. They are also a force.
Ah, it would be good for us to free them, even if they become members of the slave group, at least it would be much better than just hanging around. We have to unite all the forces we have now."
Hey, what you said makes sense. Jikel stopped eating meat and fell into thinking.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "Can you control those guys in prison?"
Xiaobai spread his hands and said: "I can't control it. What I can control is only part of it. You should have heard about the Gray Gang in prison. That's the part I can control. There are many people I can't control."
Jikel nodded and said: "I understand, I will give you a warrant, and you can deal with those guys in the prison. Don't cause any more trouble to Doro City."
Because of the panic caused by the Black Flame Demon, there are dozens of times more problems than before. Jikel has less than three hours of rest every day, and he doesn't want the prisoners in the prison to come and cause trouble for him again at this time.
After writing the warrant and handing it to Xiaobai, Jikel began to chase people away.
Xiaobai didn't stay long, said goodbye to Jikel, left the Eagle God Pyramid, returned to Samsara Manor, found Tai'a and the Padoparo brothers, and rushed to Doro Prison City.
Arriving at the prison city, Xiaobai found the warden Padapa familiarly, and the brothers Taia and Padoparo entered the prison.
They still miss the prison city very much. After all, they have lived here for many years, and they also know that Xiaobai is here to release the prisoners this time, so they go to see how their old brothers are doing in advance.
Padapa looked very frightened. He had also heard the news that the Black Balrog was coming, but he did not dare to spread it in the prison for fear of causing a riot.
Seeing Xiaobai's Padapa was like seeing the savior. He pulled Xiaobai and kept asking questions.
Unfortunately, Xiaobai didn't know much. He just knew that the Black Flame Demon was coming and Doro City was in chaos.
He took out Jikel's warrant and gave it to Padapa.
Padapa carefully checked the authenticity of the warrant, and after confirming that it was correct, he took a deep breath and said to Xiaobai: "With this warrant, I will leave this place to you, and I will go back and make preparations."
Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and said seriously to Padapa: "Get ready to fight. This is for your own good. You can't escape. Escaping will only make you die faster."
Padapa was stunned by Xiaobai's words. After thinking for a moment, he realized that Xiaobai was warning him, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, I understand."
