"Wait a minute..."
Grand Duke Bern frowned and said, "Why hasn't Mond sent any news yet?"
The subordinate was silent for a second: "I don't know either..."
Grand Duke Bern suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Okay, your injury isn't serious. Stop running around and be careful."
"Thank you, sister."
"Uncle, don't wander around after entering the camp. Remember to obey the instructions. If you have any problems, just come to me. I will help you no matter what."
"Thank you, you are indeed a brave man."
"Little boy, why are you crying? Can't you find your mother? I'll help you find her."
"Woooooa ...
At the gate of the camp, refugees were brought in one after another.
Lisda wiped the sweat from her forehead and said softly, "I don't know how many refugees there are. Once our magic power is restored, we will go out and look for survivors."
Alan was also very tired, but he still nodded heavily.
At this moment, screams like ghosts and wolves howling came from the end of the long street.
"Save us! Someone come save me! The monster army is coming again!"
I saw a group of people tumbling and crawling towards the camp, with deafening footsteps behind them.
City Lord Rob was crowded in the front, pushing several of his companions to the ground and using them as food for the monsters to buy himself time to escape, while waving frantically towards the camp.
Behind them, the old Principal Ben was following closely.
He grabbed the sleeve of the person in front of him fiercely to avoid being pulled behind.
Lista's face changed drastically, and she immediately prepared to step forward to respond.
However, at this moment, a cold and hard voice sounded: "Close the city gate!"
Chapter 62 Girls, it’s time to test you!
The soldiers pulled the chain and the iron gate closed with a loud bang.
"No! Don't close the door!" City Lord Rob roared in despair, his eyes red.
Someone grabbed his feet tightly and tried to pull him down to serve as a scapegoat, but he kicked the person away with force.
Including old Principal Bane, these powerful people in Roma City exposed the ugliness of human nature at the critical moment of life and death. They were determined to fight for a chance of survival even if it meant using any means.
As the saying goes, when you are being chased by monsters, your competitors are actually your teammates.
However, the iron gate was still closing slowly, making a teeth-grinding noise.
"Wait a moment!"
Lista was horrified, picked up her steel sword, and prepared to rush out.
boom!
The iron door slammed shut.
Two figures wearing red clouds and black robes stood at the city gate at some point, and ordered the guards: "No one is allowed to open the city gate without our permission."
The defenders saluted: "Understood!"
Lisda frowned and stepped forward to ask, "Who are you?"
However, when the two figures turned around, she was suddenly stunned.
The mysterious steel mask, the cold and sharp red cloud black robe, and the medal with crossed swords on the chest.
Lista narrowed her beautiful eyes, and the rage that had originally risen to the sky turned into astonishment and shock.
"Night watchman?"
Allen lost his voice and said, "Haven't you already..."
"Already disbanded?"
Tria held up her ghost mask and said with a smile: "No, just because the Night Watchmen don't appear in front of you doesn't mean that we have completely disappeared. When the country needs us, we will still show up. You can call me by my code name - Witch. Nice to meet you, brave man."
Hayden said in a businesslike tone, "My code name is Night Raven. From now on, the guarding of the camp will be the sole responsibility of the Night Watchman. You two can go back and rest."
Lisda hesitated for a moment and said coldly: "Why did you order the city gates to be closed? Don't you know there are refugees outside? If the city gates are closed, those people outside will have no way out but death. Why do you watch them die? Aren't their lives important?"
Her anger is understandable.
After all, he is a brave man who was nurtured by the Church, with love and justice in his heart.
Unlike those hypocritical saintly bitches.
This kind of person can truly dedicate his life to the country and the people.
Therefore, Hayden was also very respectful to her and said, "Sorry, this is the rule of the superiors."
"Superior?"
Allen demanded, "Who is it? Your Majesty?"
Lisda's pupils shrank slightly. She didn't believe that His Majesty would do such a thing.
In her opinion, giving up on those civilians would mean completely abandoning her inner morality.
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the end of the camp.
As brave men from the Holy See, they have the right to directly seek an audience with the emperor.
However, at this moment, a cold and hard voice suddenly sounded.
"No, this is my order."
The voice came from the top of the city, cold and a little hoarse.
Lista and Alan paused and subconsciously turned to look at the city wall.
The man stood on the top of the city wall, looking down at the enemy. He wore a devil-like steel mask, a red cloud and a black robe that fluttered in the wind. In his hands, he held a golden scepter that shone brightly in the darkness.
"Nice to meet you, heroes."
Li Xini paused and said, "You can call me Xiao."
"Staff of the Oath, Owl..."
Lista narrowed her eyes, she knew very well what this thing meant.
According to legend, the captain of the previous generation of the Night's Watch used this golden scepter to slaughter two nobles in the royal capital overnight, causing a bloody storm.
Since then, due to various political factors, the Night's Watch was forced to withdraw from the stage of history.
Although there have been reports in recent years that His Majesty is planning to rebuild the Night's Watch, it has ultimately been more noise than action.
I didn't expect them to show up at this time!
Alan remained calm, with a clear light in his eyes.
But in the next moment, the night watchman code-named Witch was already standing in front of him.
"Don't try to use that kind of magic on the captain, just a friendly reminder."
Tria's voice gradually turned cold: "Otherwise, you will die miserably."
Alan's expression changed slightly. It seemed that these night watchmen were really difficult to deal with.
Lisda bit her lip, stared coldly at the figure on the top of the city wall, and asked, "I need a reason. Why do you close the city gates and watch people die without helping?"
Licinius tilted his head and said indifferently: "Do you need a reason? Well, although I admire your courage to save lives, can't you consider the actual situation? How many people can this camp accommodate? How much food can be provided for the soldiers and refugees to survive?"
He looked around and saw that the refugees who had survived the disaster were huddled in a corner, silent.
When disaster strikes, no one knows whether they can see the sun tomorrow.
"Perhaps you will say that I am indifferent to life, but there must be a first come first served order for everything, right? I remember that when they were fleeing, Mr. Licinius had already told them that the civilian area was the safe zone. But they didn't believe it and chose to trust the military instead. Now that they have been rejected by the military, they come here again?"
Licinius snorted and said, "If you want to accommodate those people outside, you have to drive the refugees here out. Why don't you ask them who is willing to do so?"
The refugees' faces changed, and they looked terrified.
Afraid of being expelled.
Lisda saw everything and said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute. You actually knew that Mr. Licinius had proposed to flee to the civilian area? Are you spying on us?"
Nonsense, that's what I said.
Licinius said calmly, "I have spies all over the city, of course I know that. Otherwise, how do you think this camp was set up in just one hour?"
Lisda was silent for a second: "But this is not a reason for us to ignore life. When there are difficulties, we should work together to find a solution, instead of giving up without even trying."
well…
Li Xini sighed: "Brave man, have you been poisoned by the devil?"
Lista frowned, hummed, and did not deny it.
"Look, you can't even protect yourself, why do you want to kidnap me here?"
Licinius asked back, "You don't even know who the enemy is, but you only want to save people. What if I tell you that there must be enemy spies hidden among the group of people outside? What if they sneak in and hurt other refugees? Don't tell me it's impossible. Think about how you were injured."
Lista was silent, but she could not deny that what the other party said was right.
It is indeed very likely that the enemy's spies are mixed in with the refugees.
Even the fifth-level wizard of Moonlit Kiss could not escape the enemy's ambush.
Not to mention them.
"I will not abandon the safety of the entire camp to save those idiots outside."
Li Xini said calmly: "Go back and take good care of your injuries."
Lista took a deep breath, and her slightly pale face was illuminated by the light of the Holy Light Sword.
"Listah, what should we do?"
Alan also hesitated.
Bang bang bang!
Outside, there was the sound of people banging on the city gate frantically.
There were also the hysterical wails of City Lord Rob and Principal Bane.
Their sanity was already on the verge of collapse before the monster army arrived.
Lisda silently tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword, raised her head and said stubbornly: "Then I don't expect you to open the city gate, but if you let me out, I will lead those refugees to find a new shelter!"
Allen was surprised, but seeing the determination in her eyes, he said, "Yes, in that case, let us two go. We don't want to see those people die like this anyway."
At this moment, the refugees were all moved.
They don't understand how there are such people in the world.
Licinius narrowed his eyes.
Very good, this is the kind of hero I want, one who can carry out his beliefs.
However…
"That's a good idea. You are also precious fighting forces. I won't let you die in vain."
Licinius raised his hand and brought it down decisively like swinging a sword.
With a swish!
A row of night watchmen suddenly appeared on the city wall, holding muskets and pointing them downwards.
"Keep a close eye on these two people. If they try to leave the camp, beat them to death along with the civilians around them. This is an order." Li Xini said calmly.
The refugees were furious. What does this have to do with them!
Lisda and Alan were stunned, and then showed angry expressions: "How could you do this!"
