The town of Leoben is about a hundred kilometers northwest of the town of Graz. With a horse traveling at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, it can be reached in about six hours, which is half a day's journey. It can be said to be very close. Therefore,
, if this bloody disaster cannot be quelled quickly, then the small town of Graz will be the next target. For Allen and others, the small town of Graz is more than just their home. The town has a population of two to three million people.
It is about twice that of Leoben. Once caught in this bloody disaster, the situation will be more serious and the situation will be more difficult to deal with.
A group of four people rode horses and ran on the road. At this time, the pastoral scenery on both sides of the road kept passing by Allen, but Allen had no time to appreciate it at the moment. He silently calculated in his heart that they set off at noon, and they would probably wait until
It was already dark when we arrived at Leoben.
After running for a while, I actually found scattered people in other directions on the road, rushing to Leoben. Some looked like town garrison soldiers, and some were members of the mercenary group, riding or walking.
.It seems that the news has already spread.
As he was on his way, Allen accidentally discovered a group of people arguing in a field beside the road. A man was lying on the ground, and a woman was protecting a girl behind him. The girl looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. She shrank aside with an expression on her face.
Very panicked. Somehow, this scene reminded him of the past events that Edith once told him. His father, Caesar Allen unconsciously touched the necklace around his neck again, and the black charm was in his heart.
emerge.
So, Allen turned his horse's head and approached quickly. Although everyone was puzzled, they all turned their horses' heads and followed him.
"You are not allowed to come over!" the woman shouted loudly. She seemed tough, but her voice was very frightening: "We... we have not been bitten, please don't mess around!"
"You mean it doesn't exist if you don't have it!?" There was a group of people across from the woman, about seven or eight people, who looked like soldiers guarding a certain place.
"Come! Take off your clothes and let us check." A teasing voice shouted.
"That's it! Take it off! Prove it to us." A somewhat lewd voice teased.
"Hahaha!" A group of people laughed again.
"You!...Don't bully others too much!" the woman cursed, but her voice became more and more frightened.
This family is probably the refugees who escaped from the small town of Leoben. At this time, the girl behind the woman was also trembling, and her face turned pale with fear. If they really took off their clothes, can you guess what would happen?
Isn't it there? The man lying on the ground is probably the backbone of the family. His face is covered with blood at this time and he has fainted. He was obviously beaten by these soldiers.
"It's okay if you don't take off your clothes!" The obscene voice shouted again: "Follow us to the concentration camp outside the town of Leoben!"
"That's right! The Holy See has strict orders. Anyone who escapes must be inspected and quarantined." Another voice sounded, but the tone was strange.
"No!...No!!!" the girl suddenly screamed, as if she was frightened, her voice was full of fear, her whole body was shaking even more violently, and she was about to collapse at any moment. The family had just returned from Leoben.
After escaping, the past few days have been like a nightmare.
, lingering in the girl's mind. The bloody scenes, the frightened crowd, the disgusting smell, the blazing flames, and the scenes of flesh and blood all severely tortured the spirit of a young girl. She was already
A frightened bird can no longer withstand any fright.
When Allen and his party saw this, they immediately understood what was happening. He was about to do something, but before he could do anything, Jack reined up his horse and jumped up, rushing into the crowd. The crowd was frightened by the horses and scattered.
"Who!? What are you doing!?" voices rang out from the crowd.
Without saying a word, Jack got off his horse and slapped the person who was speaking with a few hard slaps in the face, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
"You are looking for death!!!"
The rest of the people saw that the one who came was not good at all, and immediately swung their swords to fight, hitting the small ones with more. Jack was really ruthless and didn't say much. He easily killed several people with two or three blows, and made a group of people scream. Maybe it was him too.
Feeling annoyed, the white light on my body lit up slightly.
"Fighting! Not good!"
"The idea is too tough! Run!" A group of people saw that the person coming was actually fighting spirit. So they usually only fight and fight. They are not even knights. They are at most soldiers who are slightly stronger than ordinary people. That is no matter what.
Unable to compete.
As a result, the group of rogue soldiers supported their injured comrades and quickly dispersed.
"So domineering!" Tina gave a thumbs up and praised.
But the question falls back to Allen and his team, how to deal with this family? If we strictly follow the orders of the Holy Light Church, they will be sent back to the concentration camp under the supervision of the Templars. What is the current situation in the concentration camp?
They don't know, but if they think about it with their toes, they know that the situation will not be much better, if not hell on earth, it will be
The conditions must be harsh and chaotic. Moreover, looking at the girl who was so frightened that she collapsed, it was really unkind to escort them back. Moreover, Allen and others were eager to leave and did not want to bring these baggage with them.
.However, the Holy See’s order has to be said to be reasonable. After all, if something slips through the net, the disaster and consequences will be huge.
Allen and his group look at me and I look at you, they can't make up their minds. If something happens, will they die of guilt?
"Please, we really haven't been bitten." Seeing that this group of people was obviously more decent than the group just now, the woman immediately begged.
When everyone saw the woman begging like this, their hearts immediately softened.
"How about this? Tina, go check them out. If there are no obvious wounds, let them go." Allen said helplessly.
Allen just glanced at Jack and asked for his opinion. After all, he was the one who saved the person. But Jack didn't say a word and seemed to let everyone do as he pleased. He had no choice but to step forward and make the decision for everyone.
After a while, Tina completed the task and let the family go. Everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to say. In fact, Tina's inspection was very perfunctory. With her character, she would not embarrass others. Everyone just
Even if they didn't see it and everyone knew it, even if there was no trauma, there was no guarantee that nothing would happen. After all, it was a very important matter and they knew very little about it. No one was absolutely sure of the specific methods and conditions of infection. Maybe.
All it takes is the infected blood to spray all over you and you will be infected.
"Sigh... everyone has left. It's better not to think too much." Allen sighed slightly and was the first to break the silence.
"Yes, yes. Let's get on the road quickly, we've been delayed a lot." Tina responded immediately, feeling a little guilty.
At this time, Jack, who didn't speak much, suddenly said: "There will be a lot of this kind of thing in the future." Obviously he has been in the world for many years and has rich experience.
"There are refugees fleeing from all directions. It is not surprising for these refugees to be robbed, raped, or even killed. We were able to save the family just now, but we cannot save everyone. There is nothing we can do." Jack continued, a little frustrated.
smell.
"Alas...yeah, all we can do is end this bloody disaster as soon as possible." William sighed.
"I estimate that we will encounter more and more refugees in the future." Allen said helplessly at this time.
"Let's go, let's go."
The group gathered themselves together and moved on.
Along the way, just as Jack expected, the further we went, the more and more refugees came, and everyone became more and more depressed. Along the way, robberies and fights occurred from time to time, and refugees even started fighting each other.
The residents of these small towns are usually peaceful and kind-hearted people.
, I didn’t expect that the flower of sin that emerged after the collapse of order would grow so fast, which is really outrageous! Going to the back, you can even see someone doing that sloppy thing on the side of the road. I guess they were stopped by force. Jack
He caught Tina who was about to step forward and hurried on.
The closer the group got to Leoben, the more shocking the chaos they witnessed. Everyone gradually became numb and no longer had the courage to do what was right at the beginning. Instead, they all forgot about it and accelerated their horses to rush to the front line.
The afterglow of the sunset gradually faded, the sky gradually turned dark, and the flickering firelight in the distant sky could be seen in the distance. A blush spread across the sky, and a sense of solemnity suddenly rose.
Finally, at seven o'clock in the evening, Allen and others arrived at the small town of Leoben.
