Chapter 425: Fuel the flames

The vision in the direction of the temple was naturally caused by the sacrificial ceremony.

The silver divine light that fell from the clouds intertwined with the green light of life that rose from nature, intertwined and entangled, and the energy fluctuations released were clearly felt by anyone in the entire Orienado.

There are also those faint hymns, chanted in Elvish language, which taste melodious and elegant.

Many elves didn't know it, thinking that there was a miracle coming, and rushed towards the temple one after another, hoping to visit the miracle at close range.

However, the elven civilians were blocked by teams of elven security teams who had accepted the order.

Fal'o had already been notified by Dane in advance. He knew how important the purification ceremony in the temple was, so why would the commoners make trouble

To put it bluntly, he dispersed the civilians on the grounds of 'purifying a terrible evil monster, not suitable for visiting'.

But such a large-scale movement can be clearly seen not only by Aurinadu, but also by Ghost Saber Port, and cannot be hidden at all.

Dane didn't want to hide it either. The underground riots are still going on, and a large number of soldiers rely on the defense line, desperately resisting those faceless men and preventing them from coming to the surface. In addition, on the front line from Ghost Knife Port to Orienado, the security guards in both places have already started martial law, strictly prohibiting anyone without permission from moving between the two places within a day or two.

This is done in order to prevent any accidents. And also played a certain effect.

There is nothing wrong with Auriana itself, and the main population is elves, so there will be no major problems. However, as a very important trading port, Ghost Knife Port now has a very mixed population, and there are quite a lot of floating population.

These merchants, merchant guards, gold diggers, and adventurers are not peaceful masters. There was such a big movement in Aurui Nai, so it would naturally attract their attention.

For some reason, there were rumors of Chongbao appearing in Aurui Nai, and it spread throughout the entire Ghost Knife Port at an extremely fast speed.

Tommy soon realized that something was wrong, and quickly issued an announcement, saying that Aurinato was just holding a religious ceremony of Father Hilo, and the so-called treasure was nothing but nonsense.

But the announcements that came out had little effect.

Those chaotic elements don't care about religious awareness or religious rituals. Compared with the official statement, they have always believed in the news circulating in their own circle.

As a result, some daring people secretly tried to go from Ghost Knife Port, through the martial law and blockade along the way, to Aurui Nadu to find out.

These adventurers still have some scruples about the majesty of the lord Dane. They don't dare to break through the level blatantly, so they can only sneak secretly, hoping to sneak past.

Most of them were caught by the security guards, but among the adventurers, there are still some good players occasionally, especially those who are good at stealth, and the security guards are not very easy to catch them.

So, occasionally a few broke into Aurelia, but they were eventually picked out by the elves.

For the time being, these adventurers haven't caused any major problems yet, but Dane, who was waiting for news in the palace of Oriento, felt that something was wrong after knowing these things.

Of course, before, it was impossible for the mobilization of an army of thousands of people to the underground world to be hidden from the eyes of those who cared, but the rumor that there was a peerless treasure appearing in Auriana was spread all over the city in a blink of an eye. Mi couldn't even hold down the pressure in the city, so there must be something wrong.

It's obvious that someone is behind the scenes!

Who is the conspirator, Dane had a vague guess in his mind.

However, it's too late to deal with the black hand behind it now, the rumors are spreading too fast and can't be contained anymore. Right now, the most important thing is to quickly curb this unhealthy trend.

Dane decided to hit hard.

On the night when the sacrificial ceremony started, forty-seven adventurers were arrested in a row, all of whom were hanged in the most prosperous port square in Ghost Knife Port.

The trial ceremony and the execution ceremony were put together. Forty-seven adventurers lined up in turn. On the six gallows, their necks were all tied with ropes.

Following the order of the executioner, the rope was cut, and under the action of gravity, the adventurers were hoisted one by one, and in the powerless struggle and trembling, they turned into cold corpses.

Afterwards, these hanged corpses were firmly nailed to temporarily erected wooden stakes by the security guards, and they waited for the air to dry in the sea breeze, in order to deter those who harbored evil intentions.

Dane led two squadrons of nightsaber cavalry drawn back from around the freshwater lake to personally observe and preside over the trial and execution ceremonies.

After the execution was over, Tommy came on stage, his moustache turned serious. He announced an interim decree of Ghost Knife Port, within three days, anyone who dared to pass through the west gate of Ghost Knife Port to Aurinadu without permission would be hanged.

Forty-seven adventurers were hanged in this way, and there was such a harsh temporary decree, which caused an uproar in Ghost Knife Port.

People who had lost their companions, subordinates, or simply wanted to go to Aurelia to find out, were quite opposed to this temporary decree, and they were even excited.

But Dane didn't pay attention to these people. He used such a ruthless method in the hope that he could suppress the adventurers' peeps at Aurianadu with the force of thunder.

While issuing the decree, Dane did not relax his vigilance.

After completing the execution, Dane did not send the nightsaber cavalry he had drawn back to the line of defense at the entrance of the underground cave. Although the pressure there is also great now, the night saber cavalry itself is not suitable for defensive operations. Relatively speaking, the role that the white wolf guards and ranger troops can play will obviously be greater.

As a result, the night saber cavalry of these two squadrons were used by Dane to strengthen the defense of Aurianadu.

One of the squadrons, cruising on the road from Ghost Knife Port to Orienado, is responsible for arresting anyone who intends to approach Orenedu without an order, and no matter who wants to pass, they must They will be arrested, but anyone who dares to resist can be killed on the spot.

Another squadron was deployed around the temple to act as a guard. Their security range is smaller, and their patrol lines are arranged more intensively.

These are all to prevent those adventurers from taking further risks.
