After the order was issued, the entire Doug's territory fell into chaos. Whether it was the order to mobilize troops or to allow the demon army to enter the country, it showed everyone that something big was coming.

Isa wanted to lead her men to continue resisting the demon army, but the resistance army had already tried their best to stop the demons who came to plunder. After trying several times and losing a group of troops, Isa could only lead the resistance army to make a strategic shift and retreat to their base.

Something was wrong. There was something really wrong with these demons. The few demon captives that Isa had captured before were almost all crazy and could not be communicated with at all.

It's just like a cultist who has gone crazy.

When Isa was about to leave, a large number of people packed their bags and prepared to leave with the resistance army.

Although the demons have been promoting how good life is for humans under their rule, it may be possible to deceive the people who are unaware of the truth. However, the people who are closer to the demon leased territory know exactly what is going on. It is nothing more than the difference between people who don't have enough food and dogs who don't have enough food. The only ones who can have enough food are the dogs who help the demons guard their homes.

It is said that surrendering to the demons will lead to a good life, but in fact, the lower-class humans will not be treated preferentially if they surrender, and they will even be exploited more severely. Farmers who surrender will become slaves, and serfs who surrender will become two-legged sheep.

These demons would even take the initiative to transform these humans into deformed forms for their own entertainment just for the sake of curiosity.

The so-called preferential treatment only goes to those nobles and generals who surrendered with their troops, who already had a high status. Then the demons push these people out and say: Look, you humans live so well here with us.

There were also a few truly ordinary people who received preferential treatment, but these people were either connected to the demons by chance and became the demons' relatives, or they were even more ruthless in killing people than the demons themselves.

So the people tried their best to follow Isa and leave.

If nothing else, at least the rule of the Resistance is ten thousand times better than that of the Demons and Doug.

Even the nobles in the city prepared their luggage carriages, intending to leave with the resistance army.

It stands to reason that these nobles could live quite well under the rule of the demons. Not only did they have the power they had in Doug's territory, they also had many privileges, almost the same treatment as the demon masters.

If you are willing to work for the demons, your status will rise sharply.

In the past, these nobles might not have run away, but now, the demons will require everyone under their rule to change their beliefs. Any noble who is more human or not so perverted cannot accept this condition. It is better to kill them.

Although the teachings of the resistance army's saint are somewhat heretical, she is still fighting for the title of goddess. What's more, the Holy See has already recognized the saint canonized by Gray and White Collar.

Leiden looked at the long tail and said, "Lady Saint, if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to move in time."

The resistance army is best at guerrilla warfare, but it is obviously impossible to fight guerrilla warfare with such a long tail.

"Let these nobles throw away everything on the carriages, put the elderly and children on the carriages, and let those nobles who still have the strength walk with us!"

Isa refused to abandon these civilians and gave the order immediately.

In addition to reducing baggage, the assets of these nobles might be able to stop the demons a little. After all, although the demons are a little crazy, they still attach great importance to money. Otherwise, they would not have come to plunder despite the resistance army. Isn't it just for money?

"Take another group of soldiers with me to cover the rear and use up all the stock."

After saying that, Isa was about to ride her horse back, but Leighton stopped her.

"Lady Saint, you still have to command those nobles, so leave the rear guard to us."

After hearing what Leighton said, Isa could only watch the team going to the rear hall and pray silently. Although she wanted to follow them, her reason told Isa that she was the only one in the resistance army who could command these nobles.

Soon, Isa ran to the back of the team and began to instruct the nobles to throw away the gold and silver on the carriages and make room for the elderly and children among the common people.

"Gray Collar will not treat you unfairly. I will have someone make a record of the things you left behind and give you a receipt. You can use these receipts to come to me and exchange them for these supplies in the future."

Because it was semi-mandatory, the resistance soldiers quickly began to board the carriages of these nobles, throw down the heavy gold, silver and jewelry inside, make simple records, and allow the elderly and children who could not walk to board the carriages.

Although Isa said that they could come to her to exchange these supplies in the future, many nobles were still quite dissatisfied.

"Tsk, these old guys and little things combined are not as good as my truckload of goods. Why should we abandon the goods to make room for these useless things?"

A nobleman curled his lips as he watched his goods being thrown down one after another. Not only were all of the noble's belongings on the items to ensure that his family could enjoy a good life when they arrived at the resistance army's impoverished base, but there were also many precious items so that the family could still maintain their noble dignity after arriving at the resistance army's base.

But now these things have been thrown away to make room for some worthless old people and children.

Could it be that in the eyes of this saint, these useless old people and children are more important than gold, silver and jewelry?

One noble couldn't stand it any longer and tried to stop the resistance soldiers from throwing things: "You can't throw this away, you can't throw this away, this is the big shining pearl I brought from the Principality of Milan!"

But a noble who looked older and even a little frail stood up and slapped the noble holding the pearl hard on the face. The pearl as big as a basin rolled down from the noble's hand.

"You bastard! It's just a pearl, are you so reluctant to part with it?"

Then, the old nobleman said to the resistance soldier who was being pulled, "I'm sorry, I failed to teach you well."

Seeing that the noble old man was so polite to him, the resistance soldier saluted him back and said, "No problem, old man, go and have a rest first, leave this to us."

The old man nodded, then commanded his family in a loud voice to fully cooperate with Isa, throwing away all the gold, silver and baggage on the carriage, leaving only food, and giving all the space to the elderly and children in the team.

After finishing the statistics, Isa took out her cloak, cut it into several pieces, and wrote down all the things left by the nobles on the cloak. She handed it to the nobles and said, "Everything has been recorded. If there are any omissions or mistakes, you can tell me now. I will personally verify and make the record."

It is inevitable that there will be some omissions and errors in the records, but no nobles present mentioned it again.

Seeing his several carts of property turned into a small piece of cloth, the noble who wanted to hug the pearl said dissatisfiedly: "Father, we have accumulated so many assets, and we only get this piece of rag?"

The old man slapped his son in the face again and said, "You don't have to be responsible for family affairs anymore. Let your second brother do it."

"Ah? Father, why is this happening? Aren't we losing money on this business?"

The old man shook his head and said to a younger noble beside the noble, "I'll give this voucher to you. Remember, don't use this voucher to exchange with the Saint Lady unless your family is in the most difficult time."

"No, even in the most difficult times, don't change it unless it's a matter of life and death. Do you understand?"

The noble who was holding the pearl earlier was even more confused, but he did not dare to ask. The younger noble immediately understood and said, "Father, I understand. When I have the chance, I will have this certificate framed and kept."
