The guards of the Imperial City Teleportation Array looked at the man who took out the teleportation permit with a strange expression. He felt that the other party looked familiar. Then he recalled that this was the merchant who had just teleported from Dusk City a few days ago and asked how to join the fire seed?

Just a few days later, I actually got the teleportation permit to Xiaguang City, which means that the other party has successfully joined the Tinder Organization and has been sent to the front line of the battlefield.

Being able to join the fire means that the other party is really capable, but did he offend someone because of something later, so he was sent to Xia Guang City.

He had never thought about the possibility that the other party would take the initiative to ask to go to Xiaguang City. Now at this time of panic, how could someone be so stupid that he volunteered to go to the battlefield?

Yan Chong also recognized the kind soldier, nodded with a smile, and then walked into the teleportation array.

Xia Guang City.

Yan Chong had just walked out of the teleportation array, and after undergoing a rigorous inspection, he directly called a carriage.

"Sir, where are you going?" The coachman was a young man, about in his early twenties, with thin cheeks and clever eyes.

Yan Chong threw him a silver coin casually and said in his thankful flattery: "Let's just go around the city and tell me what's going on in Xiaguang City these days."

With the purchasing power of the Imperial Silver Coins, you can pack this carriage for a whole afternoon.

"You are such a generous gentleman!" The young coachman kissed the silver coins with the portrait of William Maca, carefully put the silver coins into the inner pocket of his clothes, and said while driving the carriage, "If you want to talk about the major events that have happened in Xiaguang City these days, except for the night attacks launched by the orcs last night, the orcs siege this afternoon."

"The orcs siege the city?" Yan Chong said in surprise. Unexpectedly, just now, the orcs had just launched the siege. "Then aren't you going to leave Xiaguang City?"

He has seen many refugees who fled, and his current identity is also a victim of the war who barely escaped from his family. Unexpectedly, the young coachman is still working and has no look of panic on his face.

"Leave Xiaguang City?" the young coachman smiled self-deprecatingly and said with a little desolate look, "Where can you run? The teleportation array is not for civilians like us. You probably won't have all your savings once you sit, and you don't have the qualification to live in other cities. Could you become a refugee?

If you don’t take the teleportation array and are in the wilderness, you may one day have all your money robbed by other refugees who fled, and your life may be lost.

So, it is better to be safe in the main city. I just hope that our Xiaguang City can last longer and not be compromised by orcs.

When it really comes to that time, it can only be said that your life is bad."

Yan Chong was silent. Indeed, as an ordinary person in the Endless Continent, his destiny was completely uncontrollable.

"It's really miserable to talk about these refugees!" the young coachman said with a sigh.

"Yes, the most terrifying thing in the wild is not the monsters, but people." Yan Chong also sighed. Human hearts are much more terrifying than beasts.

"That's right? In the siege just now, thousands of refugees were blocked at the gate of the East City and were not allowed to come in. As a result, the orcs came to the city and slaughtered them all, all dead!"

"What?" Yan Chong asked in disbelief, "Why don't you let them in?"

"This is not the sudden night attack of orcs, which caused martial law throughout the city to be severed and people were not allowed to come in. Sir, you came here through the teleportation array. Then you are amazing, but those refugees are in trouble. You need to stay outside the city to observe for a few days in case of spies.

Besides, so many refugees pouring into the city is a big burden on our Xiaguang City. Public security and other things will definitely be in chaos, so they were not allowed to come in.

But unexpectedly, the orcs suddenly appeared. It was too late to let them in. They could only watch them slaughtered by the orcs."

The coachman said with a look of indulgence: "I heard that the east city gate is filled with blood that cannot be dissolved, like purgatory. Outside the city wall is full of corpses, including orcs and refugees."

"Go to the East City Gate!" Yan Chong said.

"What?" the coachman thought he had heard it wrong and asked subconsciously.

"Go to the East City Gate to take a look."

"Sir, you are right, Dongcheng Gate, Dongcheng Gate——" the coachman stuttered, and suddenly a silver coin flew over his head and fell to his chest like a feather. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, and it turned out another imperial silver coin.

The coachman was stunned. On the one hand, he was shocked by Yan Chong's generous move, and on the other hand, this magical method made him recognize that the other party was a very powerful professional.

"Sir, I need to remind you that the east gate is very dangerous, and we may be subject to strict inspection by the guards. This is not a matter of money-"

Before he finished speaking, another silver coin fell into his palm, which made him shut his mouth and honestly manipulate the reins, causing the carriage to run towards the east gate.

Along the way, Yan Chong could see young people wearing fire uniforms and fire badges on the streets distributed bread, and shabby people lined up to receive bread, each looking confused, like walking corpses.

He thought about it, took out the fire badge and put it on his chest.

"Look at these refugees, tsk tsk." Seeing the atmosphere a little dull, the coachman said again, "They are lucky and come early. They entered the city, but they live on these foods for relief all day."

"Why don't they find some work on their own? Those with hands and feet can do coolies even if they are not good at using their brains." Yan Chong asked in confusion.

"How can there be so much work for them to do!" the coachman shook his head and said, "And the people in the city always feel a little repulsive to these refugees. If they fled from other towns, it would be fine. I am afraid that they are free people. If they do something thieves, no one is willing to take responsibility for them."

"Recently, many thefts and robberies have occurred in the city, and 80% of them were done by these refugees. As a result, some merchants who took refugees fired them."

Human nature is complex. When war comes, those victims should have the sympathy of their compatriots and then share the same hatred against the invaders. However, the current situation has formed a chain of contempt, and refugees are excluded everywhere in the city.

As the carriage drove quickly, Yan Chong shook his nose and suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood. He looked out and saw the tall city wall appear at the end of the road, and more patrol soldiers appeared on the side of the road than before.

The speed of the carriage also decreased, and it was obvious that the coachman was intimidated by the majestic aura emitted by the patrol soldiers around him.

As an ordinary person who is not a professional, teams of black iron-level professional soldiers are wearing heavy armor and holding shiny long swords, walking around you. If you look at you deeply again, you will be afraid that you will not be scared of peeing.

The coachman has better psychological quality. Yan Chong observed silently, but the other party was just a little silent and not as active as before, but he was still very skillful in driving the carriage, without any sign of panic and fear.

"Sir, I can only walk here. I'm afraid I'm going to be arrested and interrogated." The coachman grabbed the reins, stopped the carriage, and said to Yan Chong, "Are we going back or stay here for a while?"

At this time, the smell of blood in the air became more and more pungent, and it felt like I was entering a slaughterhouse, which was disgusting.

"It's okay, you just leave." Yan Chong jumped out of the carriage and waved his hand at the coachman.

"Okay!" The coachman was relieved and was about to turn the carriage, but he saw the fire badge wearing on Yan Chong's chest with sharp eyes. He immediately said in surprise, "Sir, are you a member of the fire?"

Yan Chong nodded naturally and admitted his identity.

"Then I can't ask for your fare. Your Tinder Organization has made a considerable contribution to Xiaguang City!" The coachman lowered his head and took out three silver coins from his pocket in his clothes with some pain, but when he raised his head, he still handed the silver coins to Yan Chong very decisively.

"No need, you take it." Yan Chong refused. These silver coins were nothing to him. Drawing a few cards and selling them for far more than that money. For this coachman, it may be indispensable in life.

After pushing each other apart, the coachman could only put the three silver coins back into his pocket with gratitude and drove away in the carriage.

After walking a long way along Dongchengmen Avenue, a team of soldiers rushed towards Yan.

After seeing the fire badge on his chest, the soldiers did not relax their vigilance. A strong soldier, about 1.9 meters tall, asked, "What are you doing here? The East City Gate has been closed and entry is prohibited. If you want to leave the city, go to the West City Gate, where you are allowed to leave and not enter."

"I am a person sent by the Tinder Headquarters to investigate and research this war. I heard that the orcs had just launched a siege, so I came to the East City Gate to take a look." Yan Chong said, and took out the teleportation permit.

These words made the soldiers stunned. Originally, the Tinder Society had a relatively special status in the empire. Although it was just a spontaneous community, the spiritual purpose of the community was in line with Princess Sophia, and many activities were held in major cities, which were very sacred in the hearts of young people.

Even the older civilians have more or less heard of this club, and the reputation is very high.

When Yan Chong took out the teleportation permit, the soldier couldn't help but believe what the other party said. If he was just a member of the Fire Membership of the Xiaguang City branch, then he would at most be polite to Yan Chong, but he would still not allow the other party to approach the city wall.

But the other party came from the Imperial City and could still get a teleportation license during the period when the teleportation array was blocked, so the identity may be unusual.

The soldier led the army took out an alchemy instrument on his waist, which was a bit similar to the card identification instrument that Yan Chong had seen selling cards in the Luke Card Store. He put the teleportation license into the card slot. After confirming the authenticity of the teleportation license, he said enthusiastically: "Your honor, please allow me to lead the way for you."

Under the leadership of this Black Iron Level Peak Soldier Captain, Yan Chong walked to the city wall.

The top of the city wall is five meters wide, and there are walls about one meter and five meters high on both sides. There are some holes in the wall that can be used to observe the outside world and launch weapons such as archery arrows.

The walls and ground were covered with scratches and pits, as well as dark brown blood stains. Some soldiers wrapped in bandages leaned against the wall, sat on the ground and closed their eyes to take a nap, as if to keep their orcs attacked and regained their energy, and they were rare for these few peaceful times.

Yan Chong walked to the side of the exterior wall and looked down. The scene in front of him shocked him.

The corpses were all corpses, and densely packed corpses were piled up on the ground outside the city wall. I don’t know how many of them were, most of them were incomplete and they were terrible to die.

It accumulates on the ground, and the hot summer weather emits the smell of blood. If it is not treated in a short period of time, it will soon rot and may even cause a plague.

However, Yan Chong has also seen blood. He has killed hundreds of ancient people in the shelter. Naturally, there is no abnormality, but he is a little uncomfortable.

In any case, they were innocent refugees who died tragically at the hands of orcs, but the soldiers of Xiaguang City were indifferent and did not rescue them.

After looking for a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion that the injuries of these corpses were not only caused by orcs, but more like the damage caused by the explosion of fireball.

Soon, he imagined a scene. Orcs rushed over and slaughtered the refugees. Then the magicians guarding the city wall released a large number of fireball techniques to attack the refugees and orcs outside the city indiscriminately.

This analysis result made him feel heartbroken.

After trying to activate [Absorption], Yan Chong unexpectedly discovered that he could still absorb some XP!

XP: +2.3

XP: +1.1

XP: +4.5

...

This shows that some people have just died within five minutes, so the origin of the soul has not completely disappeared!

"Will there be still people living here?" Yan Chong asked the soldier captain beside him.

"Who knows?" the captain of the soldier shook his head, "but the superiors did not let us move these corpses, nor did they know what they thought."

Then he closed his mouth, looked at the side with some guilt, and whispered: "Please don't report what I said, I was just talking nonsense."

"Don't worry." Yan Chong smiled kindly, thinking that he was treating him as a war correspondent.

But he felt a little weird. It was hot and he didn't let the corpse be disposed of or rescued the surviving refugees. What was this for?

Could it be to set up some traps to target the orcs who will be attacked next time?

Yan Chong felt very uncomfortable, which made him feel the cruel side of the war and his impression of the soldiers of the Maka Empire has decreased by more than one level.

As night came, Yan Chong came to the city wall again. He had a premonition that the orcs might even conduct night attacks to attract the attention of the empire.
