319 Panic Crowd
Ten minutes later, the knight commander stood in front of everyone.
The mithril helmet on his head was disassembled in half, and a gas mask was hung on his face. The mask and helmet were seamlessly combined, and 80% of them were specially customized by craftsmen hired by the empire.
The mask looked quite unique, with two large circles hanging beside the cheeks, looking like a frog with a bulging mouth.
Luo Ning couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
How low is the intelligence value of this group of people, although the demons seem to be smoky, but they are not even unable to breathe.
After thinking about it, it is only possible that these knights are too cowardly.
They are afraid in their hearts, which is why they are so prepared.
The transport they brought was temporarily piled aside by the knights, and the dragons and horses were also tied to the trees. The terrain around the Demon Barrier was desert and sand, and the only way to move forward was walking.
After making those preparations, the knight commander lit the torch in his hand, and at the same time, he became the focus of everyone present.
“Keep the formation, don’t panic no matter what you see, and don’t think about running away.”
Standing on the rock, the knight commander glanced coldly at the group of common people in front of him with his gaze coming out of the gap in his helmet.
His tone was serious, his voice was dull and dull: “Everyone should know the rules of the Klotar Empire, deserters will be executed on the spot.”
The knight commander’s voice echoed in this lonely night.
The air was terrifyingly quiet, with the faint chirping of insects in the bushes, as well as the panicked breathing that was suppressed in the crowd.
Although everyone who came here is well prepared, when they really want to step into the territory of the Demon Race, the little psychological defenses that they have finally built up will be broken.
Among these thousand people, most of them are ordinary people.

Ordinary people’s psychological endurance is so little. When they know that their lives are in danger, their instinctive sense of fear will begin to spread throughout the body.
“Principal Maria…”
“Principal Maria…”
Uneasy cries from the crowd came and went.
The common people almost didn’t know Luo Ning, and the only person who made them feel a little intimate was the headmaster of Santa Zemaria College.
Perhaps for them, Principal Maria was the only one who could keep them alive.
Someone trembled and took a few steps forward, holding Maria’s hands with trembling hands.
Maria was surprised to find that the person holding her hands was actually an elderly grandmother.
The old man’s hands were covered with age spots, he was wearing rusted bronze armor issued by the Empire, and his gray hair was hidden in a cloth hat, making it difficult for people to identify.
“Principal Maria, I’m old, I’m dead, I’m willing to make a contribution to His Majesty. However, can you promise me that I won’t be recruited again, this time I replaced my sixteen-year-old grandson, There will be no one to replace him next time… He’s the only one left in the family…”
The old man’s voice trembled slightly, but the cloudy eyes under the hood were bright, and she looked at Maria as if she was looking at the last hope.
Maria’s eyes were a little red, suppressing the surging emotions.
She gritted her teeth, she was more angry than pity.
This gang of empires… During the recruitment, most of the people were recruited by the empire themselves in the King City of Ilan, and they assured the city owner that they would only look for adult men.
But now, these guys have obviously broken their promises.
“Principal Maria, I have three children at home. If I don’t go back, the children will all starve…”
“Principal Maria…and me…”
“Principal Maria…”
“boom–!”
A heavy heavy sword flew from a distance and slammed into the broken rocks on the ground.
The crowd around them backed away in fright, looking at each other in dismay, without making any more noises.
The knight commander came over with a hint of impatience in his cold eyes.
“Set off.”
He pulled out the sword and hung it back on his waist. After an order, a dozen knights surrounded the civilians.
The commoners became silent, just like when they left the city, with their heads lowered, like penitent prisoners, numbly following the knights.
Headmaster Maria held the old man’s hand, patted the back of her hand lightly, and guided her back to the team before turning around and walking to the front.
As she walked, she wiped away tears.
Her red eyes could no longer contain the two crystal tears. Maria raised her hand frequently and wiped it with the back of her hand.
She walked to Luo Ning’s side, glanced at Luo Ning, wanted to say something, but said nothing.
There was a bright light in her eyes, and those eyes seemed to harbor expectations and hopes. She wanted to get an accurate and reassuring answer from Luo Ning.
But Luo Ning didn’t speak, instead he took out a tissue out of nowhere and handed it to Maria.
Maria didn’t answer, and continued to look at him as she walked.
Luo Ning sighed.
“You wouldn’t expect me to wipe your tears, Master Principal.”
“…” Maria froze for a moment before taking the paper.
“Now is not the time for jokes, Luo Ning…”
“It’s not the time to be sad either.” Luo Ning shrugged.
“Nothing has happened yet, but your expression is as if I have wronged you.”
Maria lowered her voice and said, “But… I can’t see how scared they are. What they said made me feel so uncomfortable.”
“It’s normal for them to panic and cry, but you can’t cry. When you cry, they panic even more.”
“I know…but…”
Maria bit her lip and breathed out a moment later.
In desperation, there was more self-deprecation: “If only we could be stronger, we can’t even protect our own city residents, and we even have to push them out when we are in danger…”
She said with red eyes again.
Luo Ning glanced at her one more time, then took his eyes back.
He looked up at the vast sky.
There are many stars in the sky, flashing and disappearing, but the brilliance of the moon is still hidden in the clouds, nowhere to be seen.
There were not only stars in Luo Ning’s sight, but also a fat white dragon flapping its wings.
He made a look at the little angel on the fat dragon and asked them to follow behind the crowd and enter together.
Raz lay on the top of White Feather Dragon, stretched out his arms and gestured.
She pointed to the knight in front of her, and then made a movement of wiping her neck.
Luo Ning couldn’t help the corners of his mouth twitching, glared at her, and stopped the little angel’s outrageous movements.
Luo Ning knew in his heart that someone behind the team was watching them.

Otherwise, the magic blow just now would not be so punctual and precise.
Someone is watching them move forward, and if the knight is killed at this time, all the efforts made by the old king will be in vain.
So Luo Ning can’t solve these people in advance.
And he also wanted to see what the knights wanted to do after they entered.
Raz above his head seemed to understand Luo Ning’s instructions, so he patted his flat chest to assure Luo Ning, and then controlled the White Feather Dragon and followed at the end of the team.
