our family is gone

Chapter 720: Focus on one and lose the other
While Greendale and the others were discussing, the adventurers who had returned to the town also dispersed and told each other what had happened deep in the ruins.

The madness of the skeletons under the dark curtain and the even more terrifying surging tide of rats, no matter how they boast about their bravery, they cannot avoid the description of Hamlet's team.

When the disaster struck, they dared to turn around and go deep into the ruins to support other teams. The cavalrymen who had already escaped from danger were willing to risk their lives to fight their way into the ruins to support their teammates. What was even more outrageous was that the top leaders left behind. What was going on? Wasn't it agreed that the leaders would leave first?

Whether it is the tenacity or the sincere solidarity between the two sides, as well as the selfless dedication of both sides, they all show Hamlet's attitude that is different from other places.

It is far more shocking than promoting ideas countless times, because the facts are in front of them, and no one can make all the adventurers lie, which means that these are all true.

Some people even said more exaggerated things, which made people feel excited just by listening to them. After all, the cavalry that tore through the fog brought them hope in the midst of despair.

This is a common trait among human beings. They all desire help in despair, and therefore they have a different emotion towards Hamlet.

Of course, some guys with ulterior motives will care more about the fighting ability shown by Hamlet.

A path was blasted out from under the encirclement of the skeletons. The churches and legions actually sided with Hamlet. There was also the meteorite that destroyed the rat tide, and the forest that appeared in an instant to stop the pursuers...

All of these demonstrate Hamlet's great power, and nothing in this world can calm down those guys with bad intentions better than power.

But they are unwilling to do so, and this disaster is a good opportunity to shake Hamlet's rule.

After all, so many adventurers have gathered here. They were distracted by the ruins before, but now they will definitely not just sit there and wait.

"This kind of vision cannot be created by humans. I'm afraid it can only be created by... God?"

"The evil of the ruins can even block out the sun. Has the Holy Light abandoned us?"

"Without the ruins, what are we going to do now?"

"..."

All kinds of negative topics began to spread, or perhaps they had already started to spread, but the despair told by those who returned pushed it to a peak.

Most people are at a loss and confused. Now that they have lost the relics, where should they go?

Those dark guys are quite proud of this. They are not good at uniting people, but they are the best at causing destruction.

It just so happened that the official also responded at this time.

"Come and see! We have launched a discount plan, affordable ferry tickets are first come first served!"

"Recruiting! Recruiting! Wilderness development, come if you have time!"

"The construction site workers want to know..."

The new situation posted on the bulletin board attracted the adventurers, but the notices did not mention anything about the mutation, but only advised them to evacuate.

Simply put, it explains the dangers of the ruins and then gives the route out of Hamlet. The price of the boat ticket to Totnes Waterway is one-third less than before.

If it were several other towns along the way, the price would be even lower, clearly helping them leave Hamlet.

This is good news for those adventurers who want to leave here, as it is a price they can afford.

This was thanks to the pirate ships that had been captured before. They had been cleaned and repaired a long time ago. Now there was enough shipping capacity at sea, but more sailors were needed, and Hamlet had no shortage of people.

There is also the possibility of further differentiating them, because among these people, in addition to the adventurers who really come from afar for the ruins, there are also ordinary people who come from the surrounding areas or other places, that is, scavengers.

Now give them a choice. If they can't go to the ruins, they can go to the wilderness or construction sites for development. It is worth spending some money to split them up. After all, they are short-term workers paid by the day. The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation.

Many people plan to leave. After all, the ruins are no longer the treasure land of wealth they desire, but a place full of evil and danger, abandoned by the Holy Light.

Those little mice thought they had succeeded. They made those people abandon Hamlet. But why didn't those people of Hamlet feel any sense of loss at all?
Some "smart people" noticed something was wrong and started looking for information more actively.

Then someone discovered that the top leaders actually went to meet the legion full of mystery and legends.

This situation immediately made them feel like they had found a clue, but unfortunately the soldiers and police roaming around made them dare not make any obvious moves.

As for using supernatural powers?

From the adventurers who escaped back, we know that Hamlet has several powerful spellcasters, and no one wants to challenge those powerful spellcasters.

So they couldn't get any information from Hamlet, and could only dig out more information from the adventurers.

Then they discovered a very interesting piece of news, that is, the legion appeared suddenly, no one knew their location before, and no one had seen them, so naturally no one knew what they had done.

The second is that when the legion appeared again, their condition was in a low point, and their armor was damaged, which showed that they had fought with some powerful enemy.

Combined with the current strange situation, it makes people think about it...

At this time, those people had already seen the legion, and after rushing out, Hamlet's army actually began to assemble. Although no news was released, the movements of so many troops would inevitably attract the attention of those guys.

Most people thought they were going to drive them out, but the army turned around and marched towards the ruins, disappearing into the darkness.

This action made them even more confused. That is how the news about Hamlet's meeting with the legion was spread and attracted the attention of more people.

That's not right. You yourself have pointed out the danger. Shouldn't you stay behind at this time?

Why are you in such a hurry to march into the ruins?

The sharp contrast between this action and the announcement of the evacuation of those adventurers made them realize that this incident was not that simple.

But what can they do?

They didn't know about this, but the only thing they were sure of was the secrets within the ruins, and they couldn't just leave like that!

Soon more and more news spread among the adventurers, and a strange atmosphere began to spread...

Because Lance spent a lot of manpower and resources to build the town and pushed the front line to the border of the wilderness, the chaos that broke out from the ruins this time, although it caused great chaos on the front line, was limited to a range and did not spread due to timely response.

It was for this reason that Greendale was able to get away to go to the new town to deal with the situation in the first place, for she was also afraid that the situation on the front line would worsen and backfire in the city.

If those adventurers ran back to the city immediately, it would cause even greater trouble. However, when she left, she also took the legendary wizard Alves with her. After Baldwin left and Reynard did not lead the cavalry back as originally planned, the city's defense was not strong.

It is impossible for the troops stationed in the suburbs to take over the city just because of a little abnormality, as that would only cause panic.

The division of functions between them and the police is that before clear orders, they are more likely to send out scouts to guard against possible attacks by cultists and those noble lords who want to take advantage of the situation.

But no one could stop the darkness that covered the sky and isolated the earth. By the time the people in the city reacted, the city was already plunged into complete darkness. Even when looking towards the sky, no light could be seen.

In other words, Hamlet does not believe in the church, otherwise this vision would be enough to plunge most believers into despair, and they would just kneel on the ground, shouting and praying to the so-called God, causing the social order to collapse.

Everything in the city remains the same now. When darkness falls, only a lot of torches are lit, and people continue to do what they should do.

After all, the locals have seen the world. Although they are surprised by this strange sight, the darkness cannot scare them because this is Hamlet!
"Oh~ Things seem to be getting interesting." The clown in front of the tavern stopped playing and looked up at the dark sky while muttering to himself. No one knew what expression he had under the mask...

The man who was moving bricks at the construction site couldn't help but look solemn after noticing the strange phenomenon. Due to some physical reasons, he felt his blood become boiling hot, and the impulse became more and more difficult to suppress, as if he wanted to break free from the shackles.

Fortunately, the lock on his body worked and suppressed the force, but the worry in his heart did not ease at all.

Hamlet is his hope for recovery and his safe haven from the church, so there must not be any trouble...

Similar to these people, a large number of outsiders couldn't help but have all kinds of strange feelings, especially those extraordinary people who hid their identities among them. Their extraordinary inspiration allowed them to feel more than ordinary people.

Along with the darkness came a strange evil force, and corruption was shaking their rationality.

The danger of extraordinary people lies in that the sources of their power are very complicated, like uncertain bombs, and no one knows how long their will can last.

As the altars deep in the dungeon were activated one by one, although the red fog did not spread to this side, its corrupting influence was as ubiquitous as the darkness.

A large number of these extraordinary people have been persecuted by the church, especially the individual people. They come to Hamlet to seek asylum.

This was indeed the case at the beginning. There were no inquisitors from the church here, nor were there any other more powerful supernatural beings who wanted to capture him as material or sacrifice.

In Hamlet, as long as they follow the rules, no one will care about them, and they do gain a brief period of stability.

But it is precisely because of this that the pressure brought by the dark curtain makes them afraid of falling into the panic of uncertainty again.

Moreover, most of these extraordinary people have been persecuted to the point of having their brains become abnormal. When they encounter something unusual, the first thing they think of is that they have been cheated. This mentality is further eroding their sanity.

Finally, one of the extraordinary beings couldn't bear it anymore and fell into madness.

"Ah! This is all a lie. We are going to face despair here!"

"This is not our shelter, no!"

"..."

Amid the crazy screams, a man rushed out into the street. In his eyes, it seemed that everyone was a monster who was out to kill him.

"Don't even think about asking me to go back."

"No one can stop me."

"There is no hope for this world..."

The words he said later were difficult for humans to understand. A violent spiritual restlessness was surging around him, mixed with a barely perceptible strange aura.

At first, people on the street didn't pay much attention to this madman, until he raised his hand crazily and pointed at the people around him, chanting curses or some unintelligible wails.

"@￥……*&!"

The power of a supernatural being is not something that ordinary people can bear. When the curse falls upon those people, uncontrollable despair suddenly surges into their hearts. Those with slightly weaker will fall into panic, or even die suddenly on the ground.

You know, emotions can spread, and the madman's constant cursing caused more chaos.

"Quack! He's a madman! Everyone, retreat!"

"Go call the police!"

"..."

Chaos was about to break out, but due to the increased patrols, nearby police noticed something was wrong and rushed over immediately.

Because the madman had no weapons and was just holding his head with his hands and wailing continuously, the people who came first wanted to control the crazy guy and then evacuate the people around him.

This behavior is normal under normal circumstances, but if you are facing a supernatural being, you should not underestimate the enemy.

Ultimately, it is because of the police's positioning, their habit of dealing with various public security issues, and the principle of not escalating conflicts that have made them lose their due vigilance.

When they got closer, they alarmed the madman, who suddenly looked up with a weird and crazy face. Everyone who approached was shocked, and before they could react, they were covered by the curse released by the madman who raised his hand.

The wail of doomsday!

An indescribable sound echoed in the minds of everyone around. The horrific scene was accompanied by strong negative emotions, and they were dragged into despair in an instant.

But this is fucking Hamlet!
Some policemen were actually able to break free from the desperate illusion, and rushed forward at the risk of their lives, pulled out their guns and pulled the trigger. The bullet whizzed into the madman's body, abruptly interrupting the curse.

Many people may be plunged into panic and confusion, but not this person, at least not today.

"Shoot, shoot!"

These people had all heard the lord's lectures, and the power that remained in their hearts was activated. Almost as soon as the wailing stopped, most of them reacted and raised their guns to shoot at the madman.

A few shots seemed to put an end to the madman, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief the moment he fell.

But in the places they couldn't see, the violent spirit never subsided, and became even more violent.

They wiped out the last bit of sanity of the madman, and the one who will take over this body will be...
