Chapter 258: Struggle for Peace and Peaceful Existence
"Is that there?"

In the early morning, Gronia, Mayne, and more than a dozen paladins were lurking in the shade of the forest, looking at the huge warehouse-like buildings behind the wall of thorns in the distance.

"My dear... no wonder it's called the City of Thorns."

Different from Gloria's focus, Mayne felt a great shock when he saw this rising city.

"Yeah, it's different here every day. I heard that the Adventurer's Plaza is about to be completed, and it will be open to adventurers from the entire God's Fall Plateau at that time... Well, of course I won't go."

The guide was a ranger from Xia'andia, who was about to continue talking about Mayne's topic, but was stared at coldly by other paladins. He quickly stated his position, and then hurriedly said: "Come out! Did you see it? Every day Change, this is the time!"

After crossing the wall of thorns, people in plain linen clothes can be seen pouring out of the warehouse, gathering at Pingba, and forming a neat formation.Then led by the man in red, chanting one, two, three, four, waving his arms and kicking his legs neatly, making strange movements.

The young paladin named Jenny said bitterly: "They are using slaves to perform evil sacrifices!"

Mayne muttered, "Why do I think it's just a simple activity..."

As the slaves poured out of the warehouses, they finally saw thousands of people gathered on Pingba. This scale shocked everyone.

"A lot of slaves!"

Gronia sneered: "Such a serious crime will be ended by us today!"

The other paladins hesitated a bit instead, Jenny frowned and said, "There are so many people, how can you tell which ones are legal and which ones are illegal?"

The ranger timidly said: "I heard...they are not slaves, but citizens undergoing training."

"Train the citizens?"

The paladins laughed contemptuously, and Gronia said, "This is the second funniest joke I've ever heard in my life. The funniest thing is that the Queen of the Blood Crown was recognized by the Dawn Star."

She drew out her long sword and said in a deep voice, "Whether it is legal or not, it is a sin to use slaves to perform evil sacrifices. Let's go!"

"Gronia!"

Mayne called eagerly, reminding her that when she came, the two had an argument that did not reach a consensus.

Gronia sighed: "Well, let's try not to hurt anyone, even Duke Prior's subordinates."

Jenny and the other paladins showed disapproving expressions, and Gronia explained: "We have to think about Xia'an Dia, and don't make Uncle Xia'an too difficult."

Jenny looked at the ranger who shrank to one side with a helpless face, curled his lips and said, "Just spare their lives!"

More than a dozen paladins approached quickly under the cover of trees and depressions. The wall of thorns about ten meters high was just a personal ladder for them. Gronia, who had been promoted to the hero level, pointed her toes The thorns leaped over.

When they appeared on Pingba, the slaves were not only unmoved, but some kindly said: "You are standing in the wrong place! Why don't you return to your place? Beware of being scolded by the counselor, too many points deducted will affect your graduation grades !"

Even though he couldn't understand it, the paladin felt the fear of the slaves succumbing to oppression.

"Slaves!"

Gronia shouted loudly: "You are free! The righteous paladins have come to rescue you!"

The slaves around were stunned, looking at them like idiots, and some muttered: "Is this a new lesson? Test our reaction?"

Jenny and others followed and shouted: "Go this way! We made a hole in the Wall of Thorns! Escape from there, and you will be free!"

"What are you playing? There is no emergency drill course today!"

A young man in red came over, and when he got close, he exclaimed, "It's really a paladin!"

Seeing him take out the whistle from his waist to summon the guards, Gronia's figure flashed in front of him and kicked him away.

Not only were the slaves still standing blankly, but their expressions became even weirder.

"Let's go!"

Gronia shouted again, feeling that the slaves were unbelievably insensitive.

Then she finally discovered something beyond her imagination, these slaves were clean-faced, neatly dressed, and everyone was very energetic, which is the state that slaves should have!
Shouldn't slaves have empty eyes, stooped and emaciated?
"She killed Counselor Carlos!"

"Murderer! Don't let her go!"

"Call the guards!"

"Come on everyone, catch them!"

The slaves shouted angrily and rushed forward.

"you……"

Gronia fought back the slaves one by one with fists and kicks, thinking that these people might be controlled by some magic, and they were indeed doing evil sacrifices.

"We must have made a mistake, they don't look like slaves," Mayne yelled to Gloria as he slid through the crowd like a catfish.

"The souls of these people have been defiled! Paladin, drive out the evil!"

Jenny and the others put aside the agreement just now, and the golden light on the long sword was shining, and they slashed at the "slave" who was trying to catch them.

Blood splashed everywhere, and a large group of people fell in an instant. The slaves screamed in terror and fled in all directions.

Jenny happily shouted: "Justice must prevail!"

boom……

A huge white wolf as tall as two people suddenly appeared, trampled Jenny under his feet, and the young paladin buried his whole body in the ground amidst the dust.

With a sweep of its tail, the giant wolf knocked down the other paladins like moths. It actually spit out words in a very displeased tone: "It's you lunatics again, and you'll be interrupting your gymnastics practice early in the morning!"

"Jenny!"

Gronia rushed towards the unbelievably big black-backed white wolf. Why would wild druids appear on such an evil sacrifice?
A small man stopped her: "哗嗖～Shaking incense～"

Gronia swept over with the spine of her sword: "Get out of the way!"

With a wave of the little man's hand, the huge sword that covered her body suddenly appeared.

In Gronia's horrified eyes, the two swords intersected, not only her long sword was cut and cracked, but her whole body seemed to be hit by a rushing steel giant, flew out backwards, and smashed heavily into the wall of the warehouse.

"Gronia!"

Mayne shouted, then his body froze, and he fell straight to the ground, and another small figure appeared behind him.

The little man raised his hand, and the thick light whip in his hand quietly dissipated.

"Hurry up and save people!"

She greeted the counselor who rushed over, looked at the victim lying on the ground, frowned and said, "What are these lunatics thinking?"

………………

In the meeting room of the office building in the core area of ​​Beta City, the CPC Central Committee held a temporary countermeasure meeting.

"The paladin came to rescue the slave, killed four students, and wounded twelve people including the counselor..."

Stan, the director of the Beta City Integration Department, and Bobby, the director of the Beta City Security Department, made a report on the situation. Bobby also made a self-reflection: "I just installed the cameras in the education area yesterday, so I adjusted the patrol area. I didn't expect the monitoring center to The working mechanism has not yet been perfected, and the monitoring work is chaotic and has no clue, which happened to be neglected.”

Li Qi took the responsibility on himself: "It's my side that made the mistake. I wanted to use telephoto array and magic camera technology to build a monitoring system covering the whole city, but the monitoring and management at the back end didn't keep up. It’s a basket. Fortunately, Fei Ni, Ellie, and Karin practiced radio exercises there, captured the paladin on the spot, and rescued the two wounded, otherwise the consequences would have been more serious.”

"It's too difficult to prevent a small group of people from sabotaging, Li Qi, don't blame yourself..."

Aurora comforted her considerately, and then asked the main point of the incident: "So, that Xia An finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to provoke us?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Xia An..."

Poppy reported the paladin's confession, and the incident turned to the Holy Light Fort.

"It seems that the prince is not a [-]% idiot." Li Qi said with emotion: "Why has nothing to do with Xia An? It's because he is not strict with his subordinates! Xia An may have a high IQ and EQ, but it's a pity that his subordinates' positions are chaotic, and they are actually overwhelmed by EQ and IQ." The pitifully low idiot prince was taken advantage of, and that guy is probably holding his head and moaning now."

Tarrence said angrily: "If Xia An really can't control his subordinates, then we should adjust our strategy and make dealing with Xia Andia the focus of our next work!"

Everyone understands the old man's anger. The study class and the adventurer's guild are the two key tasks of Beta City. While providing Beta City with permanent and floating population, it is also sending fresh blood to Epsilon.If the paladins do this, everyone's safety will not be guaranteed. How much trust will they have in Beta City and even Fei Gong?
"Why don't I go to Xia'andia? Shock them well and tell them to be honest."

Aurora has been a little proud recently. After confirming that her class eye is a sharp weapon for examining beliefs, she has even become ecstatically confident in her communication skills.

"Cardinal Aurora, you have committed the revolutionary infantilism again, go back and submit a [-]-word self-criticism!"

Li Qi snapped back angrily: "There are a bunch of lunatic-like paladins over there, and there is a legendary paladin in charge. What do you use to frighten them? Is it pretty?"

Aurora protests: "Chief Cardinal, your remarks are suspected of personal attacks and sexism!"

The others ignored her protest and nodded in agreement with Li Qi. Even Ellie folded her arms and nodded her head in a serious manner, which made Aurora very annoyed: "It's because there are legendary paladins around, It’s not easy to use force. What Beta City needs most now is a peaceful environment. Didn’t we decide to keep a low profile before?”

Stan agreed with Aurora: "I also feel that we should be cautious. The third batch of students is coming soon. They are all criminals who have been scavenged from prisons in Hadrang. Although most of them are innocent people who were affected by the espionage case However, there are still a lot of criminals with conclusive evidence, these people need to be carefully screened, the curriculum needs to be adjusted, and more people need to be invested in it.”

"All kinds of affairs in Beta City are going on at the same time. There are too many places that need manpower. Epsilon is empty now. It is impossible to deal with Xia'andia again."

Wilson also said: "If the legion is used, as long as the legend can be restrained, it will not be too difficult to wipe out Xia'andia. However, there is no guarantee that the Holy Light Castle will not be looted, and the defense of Beta City will have problems. Samurai, those lunatics are likely to turn into terrorists, and that's a real headache."

That's true, it's not just a headache...

Disi looked around, and after receiving Li Qi's encouraging gaze, she bravely expressed her opinion: "The adventurer's area is almost completed, and the Beta City's project to gather all adventurers from the entire God's Fall Plateau is about to start. I think, with Compared with these things, whether it is Xia'an Dia or the Fort of Holy Light, they are all secondary things."

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools." Li Qi translated Huaxia's famous saying in the old Finn's language: "At this stage, we really need to keep a low profile."

Bobby finally couldn't help raising his hand and asked, "Tao, what... what do you mean?"

"It is to keep the accounts first, and then calculate the general ledger." Li Qi explained casually, and Bobby nodded knowingly.

"but……"

Li Qi added: "This doesn't mean that we should punish the paladins who committed crimes lightly, and seek peace from Xia'andia."

Aurora gave him a blank look: "Isn't this a contradiction?"

Li Qi shook his head: "There is no contradiction, there is a saying..."

The colorful lights on Ellie's shoulders flashed, and there was an extra parrot, and the parrot quickly said: "Peace through struggle will lead to peaceful survival! Peace through compromise will lead to peaceful death!"

"I remember this sentence right, it should be right. That night when Li Qi talked about the relationship between politics and war, everyone else fell asleep. Only I was listening carefully, and Fei Ni was drooling. Tina's head bit by bit Li Qi put my hand on Tina's ear, and she didn't even notice... croak croak..."

Ai Li blushed and put the parrot away, and Li Qi smiled wryly. If there wasn't a long psychological monologue later, Ai Li's gesture would have been completely extravagant.

"Yes, if you seek peace through struggle, you will live peacefully!"

He raised his voice and drew everyone's attention away from the ambiguous scene described by Ellie's psychological monologue. Of course, he still couldn't avoid Aurora's "death stare".

"So, we have to be prepared to fight the paladins, and even prepare for a desperate battle with the legend!"

When it comes to the battle against the legend, everyone's face becomes awe-inspiring, this is a crazy thing.

Gambit spoke the other half of everyone's heart: "It's not that I haven't done it..."

Aurora's already tall breasts will also stand taller.Back then, in order to save her, didn't everyone fight with Legend?If she really wants to do it, she won't back down!
At this time, Tarrence became worried instead: "What should I do specifically? You have to be careful."

"Property is to let those paladins see our position and bottom line clearly, and by the way, let their minds be sober, and reflect on their position and bottom line."

Li Qi's eyes flashed with anticipation: "This is also a good opportunity to let the students and adventurers understand what kind of order we want to establish on the Shenyun Plateau!"

"If we really want to fight, the Holy Light Castle will definitely be very happy." Gambit sighed: "I'm not reconciled."

"It's not rude to come and go." Li Qi called Yuangou with Bili Boy: "Have you edited the information on the Fort of Holy Light? No, don't send it to the news agency in a hurry. Send it to Xia Andia first to ensure that everyone A paladin can see it."

He said to Bobby again: "The scene of the gang of paladins should have been captured by the camera."

Bobby nodded, and Li Qi continued: "Then let's hold a public trial meeting to give these paladins a fair trial."

　It's my birthday today, but I still have to run around on the road, so there's only one update.
