In this sunny morning, the golden sun is like a generous messenger, generously spreading its dazzling light to the vast earth.

However, not all things in the world are equally bathed in this warm glow. Some areas may be unfortunately covered by thick clouds, making the original brightness dim;

Other places may only receive limited sunlight due to the blocking of towering mountains.

Despite this, the sun always spreads its light to every inch of land in an extremely uniform manner and without favoritism, like a fair and selfless mathematical division that can distribute light accurately.

Whether it is the bustling and noisy city streets or the quiet and peaceful countryside fields; whether it is the vast grasslands and deserts or the steep and precipitous mountain canyons, all are without exception blessed by this gift from the sun.

The capital city today is a gathering place of great forces! All the famous and powerful gangs in the city are rushing towards the solemn and majestic palace like a tide.

It should be noted that in the past, only the important officials of the empire could receive such honors. However, times have changed, and at this time when the empire is in deep crisis, these gangs have also been favored by the emperor and invited to the palace to discuss national affairs.

Such a grand event was undoubtedly a great fortune for a small sect. After all, being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the royal family and discuss state affairs together was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, some of the big sects with deep roots had some resistance in their hearts. This was because they thought highly of themselves and were used to calling the shots, but now they had to condescend to obey the orders of the imperial court, which was something they were unwilling to do.

But even if they were dissatisfied, they would never dare to disobey the emperor's order.

After all, although they were famous and powerful sects, they were still just ants in the eyes of a giant like the Longwei Empire, and could be easily wiped out. Therefore, even if they were extremely reluctant, the major sects had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead their people to the palace to respond to the call of the emperor. For a time, the sky over the capital was covered with dark clouds, and a storm was about to come...

Due to the ravages of the brutal war, the once bustling streets became deserted and sparsely populated.

People are well aware that it is extremely dangerous to go out during a war, and they will never easily step out of their homes unless they are out of ammunition and food and have nowhere else to go.

After all, no one can predict whether they will be engulfed in a sudden war in the next moment.

However, today's streets present a completely different scene - extremely lively! A large number of people poured into the streets. These people were not ordinary people, but powerful people from various forces.

Among the many teams, the team led by Tian Ye is particularly eye-catching.

Other teams passing by cast strange looks at them, and the reason was obvious:

Most of Tian Ye's team members were orcs! Those figures were two or three meters tall, and the tall and strong bear-headed people were particularly conspicuous. I was followed by a barbarian at the end, who was ten meters tall.

The people in the capital had seen the world. Barbarians were sold in the Colosseum, auction houses, and major chambers of commerce, but most of the barbarians were chained. This barbarian was not tied up at all and followed the team. It was rare among humans, but among this group of orcs, it existed as common as a meal and was integrated into the whole team. Of course, there were humans in the team as well.

"Kind people! Please give us something to eat..." A dozen ragged, skinny little beggars rushed to the front of the team in the field like a tide.

They hugged the thighs of Levin's soldiers tightly and begged desperately at the top of their lungs.

"Get out of the way! Don't block the road! Who would carry food with them for no reason? Ask someone else for it!"

The man whose thighs were hugged by the children frowned and pushed the poor little guys hard with an impatient look on his face.

However, he knew very well in his heart that Lord Tian Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, always hated bullying the weak.

Although this did not belong to Tian Ye's territory, he did not dare to do anything excessive. However, these little beggars would not leave no matter how hard he pushed them. They held on to his legs like a stubborn dog and refused to let go.

The child who was pushed away seemed to not care about the reactions of the people around him at all. He was like a stubborn little animal, struggling with all his might to get up from the ground again.

Although his body was extremely weak, he still clung tightly to the thigh of the tall human guard in front of him, as if this was his last support in life.

However, a closer look revealed that the poor child was so thin that he looked so weak when he hugged the other's thigh. Just from this appearance, it was not difficult to guess that he had not eaten for several days.

At this moment, Tian Ye, who had been silent in the carriage, suddenly spoke:

"Give them some food." Although the words were soft and the volume was not loud, when they reached the ears of everyone present, it was like an imperial decree that could not be disobeyed. For a moment, no one dared to raise any objections.

Those who were about to attack the children again stopped their actions, and some of them had some dry food with them out of kindness. At this moment, they took out the precious food without hesitation and handed it to the children who were seriously malnourished due to long-term hunger.

However, Amano seemed to have never anticipated the consequences of doing so.

Just as his men took out the food, a shocking scene took place - several children began to devour it frantically like hungry tigers.

Almost at the same time, a large number of ragged people suddenly rushed out from the crisscrossing alleys. Among them were both men and women, both old and young, and they all looked like they had not eaten for several days. In the blink of an eye, the road ahead was completely blocked.

"Master Priest, how should we deal with this situation?"

Tiechui had been following closely beside the carriage that Amano was riding in. After seeing this scene, he couldn't help but speak anxiously.

There were a lot of people kneeling in front of them, about three or four hundred in number. Perhaps they were watching from the alleys at first, but when Tianye distributed food, those people who had been starving to death and were almost crazy with hunger rushed out from the alleys like a flood, without giving Tianye any chance to react.

"Order people to go back and get more food, and make porridge on the spot to distribute to them."

Tian Ye said calmly that since he had the ability, there was nothing wrong in saving them.

At this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed onto the street in uniform, and they were recognized as the city guards of the Longwei Empire at a glance.

The city guards arrived at the scene as quickly as wolves and tigers. Without giving any chance for explanation or defense, they began to drive away the innocent people who gathered in the way without hesitation and rudely.

These poor people were terrified by the sudden violence. After seeing the ferocious appearance of the city guards, most of them immediately fled desperately towards the narrow alleys on both sides.

However, there were some elderly and frail people with limited mobility who, due to their poor physical condition, were unable to run and dodge as quickly as others.

As a result, they unfortunately became victims of the brutality of the city guards, who beat and kicked the old men mercilessly.

Those poor old men rolled on the ground in pain, uttering miserable howls, but this did not arouse the city guards' sympathy at all. It was obvious that the city guards had acted without scruples this time, without considering the possible consequences of their actions.

Tian Ye's expression gradually turned grim. This was not what a country's army should do when facing civilians. Especially in wartime. Every civilian was the country's best resource. Without them, everything would be in vain.

"I told you not to get excited!"

The Ninth Elder looked at Tian Ye's face which was distorted by anger, and finally he couldn't suppress his inner impulse and spoke.

Tian Ye slowly shifted his gaze towards the Ninth Elder and said, his eyes full of expectation and scrutiny, as if he was silently waiting for what the other party would say next.

At this moment, the field's chest was heaving violently, as if a ball of burning fire was about to erupt.

However, facing the elder's words, he fell into a brief silence. Perhaps it was because he was too shocked, or perhaps he was experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart. After a while, he calmed down a little, but the anger in his eyes was still not extinguished. Tian Ye gritted his teeth.

"They are of low status, and some don't even have registered permanent residence. They are just so-called 'untouchables'. But just because of this, can we turn a blind eye to their suffering? Can we just let this injustice continue to exist with peace of mind?" Having said this, Tian Ye suddenly raised his head and stared straight at the ninth elder, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

The Ninth Elder frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Tian Ye's reaction.

"Master Priest, you are still too naive. If you want to change all this, you have to become the ruler of this country. And what about you? You are just a lord with a larger territory. Why should you save all those living beings? Even if you try your best, you can only save a few people in front of you at most. More people are still trapped in the sea of ​​suffering and unable to extricate themselves. This is the cruel reality. Whether you accept it or not, it will not change at all."

The Ninth Elder's tone was calm as water, as if he had already seen through everything in the world.

Indeed, the Ninth Elder has lived in the capital for a long time and has experienced many ups and downs. What kind of scenes has he not seen?

Things like this are as commonplace as daily meals to him, and naturally do not cause him any psychological burden.

But for Tian Ye, the situation was completely different. Although he had witnessed the disappearance of countless lives and even caused the deaths of some people with his own hands, it was a far cry from the tragic scene before his eyes. At this moment, the deep feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart like a tide, making him feel extremely painful and desperate.

At this moment, Tian Ye, who was still struggling fiercely in his heart and struggling between his conscience and desire, was suddenly startled by a deafening roar!

"stop!"

He looked up in astonishment, and saw that the person who shouted was not someone else, but Hyde! Hyde's face was full of anger, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was about to spit fire.

"These are all citizens of the empire! How can you be so reckless and beat them up? Who gave you the power to treat your compatriots so cruelly?" At this moment, Hyde was like a dazzling light, shining directly on the group of pitiful beggars.

However, in the face of Hyde's righteous questioning, the team leader didn't care at all, and even responded provocatively:

"Oh, I've done this kind of thing before! Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you yell like that here?"

After saying this, he glanced at Hyde with disdain, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

“Hahahaha!” A piercing laugh was heard, and the old man named Hyde looked at the people in front of him with disdain, his eyes full of contempt:

"Look at how cowardly you are! A bunch of useless trash! The rebel army of the Black Mountain sect is coming aggressively outside, and they want to raze your homes to the ground! But what about you? You are all cowards, not even daring to resist! You can only bully ordinary people who have no power to fight back! Humph, I think this is the end of your service as soldiers! Do you think no one can control you? Today, let me, Hyde, the foreign affairs elder of the Temple of Light, come and discipline you guys who don't know your place!"

Before he finished speaking, Hyde suddenly had a staff emitting a mysterious aura in his hand. The staff was flashing a faint and soft light, as if it contained endless power.

In an instant, the light suddenly became stronger and gathered rapidly like a surging torrent.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light wave rushed towards the team leader who had just spoken at lightning speed.

The captain of the city guard army never expected that someone would dare to attack him in this area controlled by their city guard army.

The incident happened suddenly and he had no time to react. In a panic, he could only grab a shield from a soldier next to him and hastily raised it in front of him to try to block the sudden attack.

However, the seemingly extremely solid shield became as fragile as paper the moment it came into contact with the light waves. With a crisp cracking sound, the shield instantly shattered into pieces and turned into countless fragments that scattered all over the ground.

After all, the shield in his hand was just an ordinary object. How could it withstand the terrifying magic attack launched by this powerful and influential fifth-level light magician with all his strength?

The beggars around had their eyes shining. The Temple of Light, the organization that never let them down, once again stood up for them.
