Don't call me evil god

Chapter 361 Where are the people?

Once the population migration is certain, the advantages of [Instant Messenger] will be revealed.

Share messages and deliver them quickly.

The residents of each small town were transported to Chim Town in batches.

The town of Chim was concentrating on receiving various supplies shipped from the territory of the Church of Knowledge.

Mainly food and daily necessities.

As for the personnel responsible for transporting supplies, they were mainly the believers who died in the battle with monsters.

As the believers gathered their strength to clear out the monsters born in the surrounding wilderness.

Battle losses also began to rise significantly.

It doesn't matter if I die. I can still help escort and transport a few flatbed wagons of supplies.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly and intensive manner.

Bringing people together has another significant benefit:

Helps maintain regional stability.

Believers have found patterns in changes in stability.

Stability is determined by the situation in areas where civilizations gather.

If there are different gathering areas scattered around, the forces are dispersed, and each area has limited manpower, there is more defense than offense, and at most safety can be guaranteed, but there is no way to take the initiative to clear out the monsters.

It is difficult to quickly increase stability.

But gather everyone into the confines of a city or even a camp.

By concentrating on defense, you will have extra strength to actively attack!

As long as a stable order can be formed in the gathering area, the judgment of stability will improve rapidly.

At this point.

The believers of the Church of Knowledge unknowingly made the same choice as the Church of the Glowing Light.

Concentrated population.

The difference is that the Glowing God Cult is based in the city of Ceylon, and the refuge camps built in the city have a higher foundation.

The Church of Knowledge has launched an expansion plan based in Chim Town!
Moreover, in this rescue of civilians, the Church of Knowledge took the lead!
……

then.

When the Crusader team arrived at Raven Town.

What greeted them was an empty town.

The town is fine.

There were few signs of damage to the building.

There weren't many corpses or blood on the streets.

The number of monsters... is also quite small!
After all, most of the monsters in the town had been killed by the knowledge-seeking believers before this.

What the Crusaders saw were new monsters that happened to wander in after the townspeople left.

"Ok?"

“Where are the people???”

After leading the team around the entire town, the legion commander was completely stunned.

Shouldn't the normal scenario be one where people are struggling and on the verge of despair?

When the Glorious God Cult came like a savior, and the people were grateful and hugged their thighs with tears streaming down their faces?

Before the legion commander came, he specially applied a layer of wax on the armor on his legs to prevent it from getting stuck with other dirt.

The issue is.

What about the civilians who should have come out to thank them?
When he came, he also arranged for someone to make a speech.

"Follow the Lord's will! People of the Glory, you are safe now! Accept the protection of the church!"

Apart from attracting a bunch of monsters to join in the fun, the sound still did not reveal a single person.

Until they found traces of people living together in the manor belonging to Baron Franklin.

The traces are still very obvious.

The fire went out.

Food residue, fallen pieces of fabric.

There is also some excrement that has been temporarily landfilled.

For the first time in his life, the legion commander felt - at a loss!
He had anticipated a better situation, where the townspeople of Raven Town organized to save themselves;
I also anticipated the worst-case scenario, where almost all the townspeople would die and there would be no time to rescue them.

The only thing I never expected was that the townspeople would disappear!
"Where can they run to? At this time, ordinary people running around in the wilderness is just seeking death, isn't it?"

After searching the entire Raven Town, nothing was found.

Originally, according to the estimation of the legion commander, they should be able to escort all the surviving civilians in Raven Town directly back to Ceylon City and bring them to a temporary refuge camp.

Now it's all in vain. Take out the map from your bag.

"You can't just go back like this, right?"

"It's still early, let's go somewhere else."

The closest to Raven Town is a small village with a population of only a few dozen people.

Farmers in the village usually store some food and have the habit of digging basements.

If we leave them alone, most of them can hide underground and save themselves.

If the farmland is not polluted, they will continue farming after the monsters are eliminated;
If the farmland is gone, then we will become refugees outside Ceylon.

Originally, such a small village was at the very bottom of the Crusaders' rescue priority list.

But now, the original plan to organize the rescue and population migration of Raven Town was no longer used. With the extra time, the legion commander had to take the Crusaders to the nearest village.

"They are lucky that the light protects them today!"

……

It took some time to reach the village.

The same scene happened again.

"What about people?!"

It's empty again!
I can clearly see many signs of people living here, but in the end I just can't find anyone!

The legion commander felt like he was sweating a little.

Things are serious.

The disappearance of the entire population of a small town was a major problem that he had to report.

It was just a side trip to this small village.

Unexpectedly, all the people in the small village disappeared!
The legion commander immediately changed his mind:
"Form a team of five and quickly ride on horseback to investigate several other towns."

"The temporarily recruited professionals, go to the village to check the situation!"

"After the investigation, we will meet in Ceylon City!"

"I will lead a team myself, leave Chim Town to me!"

A series of tasks are assigned.

The members of the Crusaders received their respective orders and dispersed.

……

The legion commander took the few remaining men after the division and changed the route again, heading towards the town of Chim.

Because the goal is to investigate, with horses as vehicles, the movement speed is very fast.

It took another half day.

Under the cover of eternal night, visibility is not very good.

As the legion commander and his entourage gradually approached the town of Chim.

Before we could see the outer buildings of Chim Town, flatbed carriages appeared one after another in all directions.

The carriage was full of people.

The legion commander rubbed his eyes subconsciously.

"Am I wrong?"

"Where did these people come from?"

Get closer.

The people on the bus looked like ordinary people.

But moving along with the convoy was a group of people who were obviously professionals!

Whenever a monster in the wilderness tries to attack, those professionals will take decisive action.

Swords, magic, arrows.

The monster was turned into a corpse in seconds.

Then continue to rush towards the town of Chim.

The legion commander rubbed his eyes again.

The scene before my eyes remained unchanged.

He seemed to know where all the people who disappeared in Raven Town and nearby villages had gone!
