Chapter 26 True News, False News

"Mr. Marcus, I'm very satisfied with the way you punished these scum." Roger put away his dagger, and said to the fat man indifferently: "In return, I want to tell you something that is related to the life and death of Oak Town. information."

Roger deliberately raised his voice when he said the last sentence, which attracted everyone's attention.Not only the surrounding townspeople became nervous, but even the mercenaries pricked up their ears to hear what terrible news he would tell.Only Marcus looked a little complicated, looking at Roger who was not far away with a somewhat suspicious expression.

In fact, the title of Marcus, the governor of Oak Town, was self-proclaimed by him.Fatty was originally just a businessman traveling around the Lund Peninsula, and he hired a group of mercenaries to protect his safety.After the catastrophe of the undead occurred on the Lund Peninsula, the administrator of Oak Town obeyed the call of the local lord and took the young and strong men in the town to the lord's city to help defend the city.Markas happened to pass by this small town and found that there was no one managing it, so he took it as his own territory on his own initiative.Fatty relied on his mercenaries to become the de facto master of this small town. He was usually domineering and bullying, and he did a lot of things like bullying men and women.

Out of the businessman's intuition, Marcus decided that Roger's appearance would affect his happy life in Oak Town.Now hearing Roger say that there is news that affects the life and death of the whole town, Fatty is even more sure of his previous guess.But in front of so many people, Marcus couldn't stop Roger from telling the news, so he could only worry secretly.

Of course, Roger didn't know that the fat man had so many thoughts. He raised his voice and said loudly: "Undead creatures want to attack Linton Pass, and Oak Town is the place they must pass through. This town has already become the target of undead creatures. Sooner or later, they will be attacked by them." Destroy it, so I advise everyone to leave here as soon as possible, and go to another change in the Lingdun pass to avoid the disaster of the undead!"

Roger's words immediately caused an uproar.The townspeople exchanged suspicious glances, not knowing whether to believe the stranger's words, and left their hometowns for the other side of Killington Pass.

Markas saw the reactions of the townspeople, and couldn't help crying inwardly.Recently, he had been very happy in Oak Town, and he didn't want to leave this town that was completely under his control.If the townspeople believed Roger's words and left, it would also mean that Marcus' good days were over.

Thinking of this, the fat man secretly made up his mind not to let Roger's "conspiracy" succeed. He immediately put on a smiling face and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic! It's not the first time that the disaster of the undead happened on the Lund Peninsula. I've never heard of it." I said they attacked Killington Pass, so there is no reason to attack our Oak Town, right?"

After all, Marcus had ruled Oak Town for some time, and his prestige among the townspeople was much higher than that of Roger, who had just arrived.So after hearing his words, the townspeople all nodded their heads. Many people who originally planned to flee from Oak Town also changed their minds and decided to stay. After all, this is where everyone lives, and it is always very difficult to make up your mind to leave their hometown. .

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Roger knew that everyone didn't believe in him, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit helpless.But Roger told everyone this news just for peace of mind, and he couldn't control whether others believed it or not.So Roger didn't make too many excuses, but just said to everyone indifferently: "I have brought the news to you. Believe it or not is up to you. I don't want to stay here for a long time. Goodbye!"

Seeing that Roger was planning to leave, Marcus also breathed a sigh of relief.As long as this outsider leaves Oak Town, he, Marcus, can continue to live his past happy life.

However, Marcus was only happy for a while. Before Roger left, a guard came to report to him in a panic: "Master Marcus, more than 20 people came from outside the town, and they said that a large number of people were found nearby. Undead creatures, request to enter the town immediately to join their master, Mr. Roger Lee!"

As soon as Roger heard it, he knew that the guards were talking about Eddie and others who stayed outside the town.Since they said they found a large number of undead creatures, it might be the harbinger of their attack on Oak Town.Thinking of this, Roger no longer hesitated, and hurriedly led the others out of town.He just wanted to leave Oak Town with his own people as soon as possible, but he didn't plan to stay here to be buried with others.

However, when Roger arrived at the gate of the town, he realized that it was too late to leave.The small Oak Town has been surrounded by undead creatures. In the open space between the undead creatures and Oak Town, Eddie and others and a dozen pike militiamen are waiting in full force, relying on the town's walls to form a defensive formation.Anyone can figure out that if these people are not allowed into the town, they will all die at the hands of the undead creatures.

Roger, who was worried about the safety of others, grabbed the guards around him and shouted, "Open the door and let them in!"

However, the undead creatures were already very close to the town at this time, and the guards dared not open the door at all.Seeing that the undead creatures kept approaching, Roger knew that Eddie and others were in danger.At this moment, he couldn't care less about talking nonsense with the guards, and went directly to the gate of the town by himself.

The guard instinctively wanted to stop Roger, but was knocked to the ground by Mike who rushed to help.With the concerted efforts of Roger and Mike, the heavy gate of the town was slowly opened.Eddie and the others finally had a glimmer of life, and hurriedly retreated into Oak Town.The spear militia that Roger left behind to protect everyone stayed on guard at the end, faithfully completing the tasks Roger gave them.

The guards in charge of the town gate didn't care about the lives of Eddie and the others, so they rushed up again to close the gate.However, before a few people ran to the door, they felt something hard against their backs.They turned around only to find that there were a dozen regular soldiers holding long guns standing behind them, and the sharp points of the long guns were only an inch away from them.

As a result, the guards naturally didn't dare to move, and watched as Roger and Mike opened the town gate wider, so that people from outside the town could come in faster.

The undead creatures also seemed to see that this was a good opportunity to rush into the town, so they quickened their pace and rushed towards the opened town gate.The undead creatures were already very close to the town gate, and it was only a matter of a blink of an eye to rush into the town.

Seeing that his own kingdom was about to be occupied by undead creatures, the impatient Markas couldn't care less about maintaining a good relationship with Roger, so he raised his voice and shouted anxiously: "Close the door, close the door! Kill anyone who dares to block it!" !"

Hearing Markas' order, the guards at the gates curled their lips but did not dare to move at all.In fact, they had the same idea as Marcus, but Nai's sharp spear point was on his chest, who would dare to close the door rashly.Anyone who dares to stop will be killed, I am afraid that if I move, I will be killed by others first!

There are still a few people who have not been able to enter the town at this time, and everyone has to come out. If they want to let all those who stay outside the town come in, those undead creatures will definitely take the opportunity to rush into the town.

At this critical moment, the spear militia who had been guarding behind Eddie and the others suddenly made a move that Markas and the others did not expect.
