The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

The regular soldier frowned slightly and said seriously, "By this afternoon, the number of refugees who can move freely will be replenished!"

"Otherwise, I'll ask you!"

Obviously, the soldier of the Phoenix Legion did not care about the lives of the refugees. In his eyes, these refugees were just props and a bunch of numbers.

As long as it does not affect the overall strategy, it doesn’t matter how many refugees die.

He came to check this time because the higher-ups needed to use this batch of consumables, and time was tight, so there couldn't be any mistakes.

Even though this matter was not his responsibility, considering the needs of the upcoming battle, the regular soldiers stayed behind to supervise these non-staff personnel and see how they performed.

With the supervision of regular soldiers, they dared not slack off.

First, they dispatched people to pull out the refugees who were about to die and bury them on the spot.

"no, do not want……"

"Mom...wuwu..."

"I... can still be saved... I don't want to die..."

Most of these refugees came from the same place and knew each other to some extent.

When their family members collapsed on the road, they supported each other and finally made it here.

Unfortunately, they did not wait for the kingdom's rescue, but were captured directly, and what awaited them was only the shadow of impending death.

Most of the refugees have become numb, as if they have already seen their own future.

There were also some refugees who were young or whose relatives were nearby. They watched in horror as the soldiers dragged the sick and unable refugees out of the refugee camp like a dead dog.

They knew very well that this was not to cure their illnesses, but to prevent the outbreak of plague.

Even these soldiers did not hide their actions and started digging holes next to the refugee camp without any regard for the feelings of the refugees inside.

At the same time, other non-staff soldiers also began to capture refugees outside to make up for the dead.

However, they soon realized a problem, that is, the refugees around them had almost all been taken to the refugee camps.

Some refugees who took the opportunity to slip away would spread the news about the situation here, which resulted in subsequent refugees rarely coming here. At most, there were only a few unlucky people who didn't know the way and accidentally came here.

Once, after the non-staff soldiers had captured refugees and put them in a refugee camp, the regular soldiers in orange armor reminded them, "You don't have much time left. If you can't find them, you'll be court-martialed!"

The extra-commissioned soldier immediately promised, "Don't worry, sir. We will definitely complete the task of replenishing the number of people before the deadline!"

The regular soldier sneered, "That's better."

After the two sides had distanced themselves, the non-commissioned soldier suddenly looked at his companions and asked, "What should we do now? The number of refugees simply can't meet their requirements!"

Another more serious non-staff soldier said gloomily, "If there are no conditions, then create them. If the refugees outside are not enough, aren't those in the city enough?"

Seeing the cruel look on his companion's face, he knew that this matter had reached the point where it would not be easily resolved.

These non-staff soldiers acted quickly. Almost in the next second, many soldiers rushed into the city and began to arrest people indiscriminately.

"What are you doing? I'm a good citizen!"

"Is there still justice? Is there still law? How dare you?"

"This is my ID. Why don't you look at it? Why are you arresting me..."

Originally, after a check, residents with identification cards thought they could walk on the streets safely.

But this time, they will be disappointed again.

This time, even if they showed their identification, those extra-staff soldiers would not let anyone go.

Like helpless animals, they were tied together by the soldiers and escorted to a refugee camp outside the city.

The arrest operation was still in full swing. It went very smoothly at the beginning. After all, most of the people were people who had been checked before, so they were not wary of the soldiers on the streets.

But this negligence turned out to be their death warrant.

Soon, the news that soldiers began to arrest people indiscriminately spread in the city. People in the city were in panic, and most people were so scared that they did not dare to go out for fear of being arrested by the soldiers.

At this time, a soldier came up to the armored knight and reported: "Report to the commander! There are not many people on the street now, but we are still some distance away from our goal..."

Without a second thought, the knight gave the order: "Then go and capture them. Now is not the time to worry about reputation. This battle must succeed, failure is not allowed!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers were like a swarm of locusts, penetrating every hole and directly breaking into residents' homes to arrest people.

Meanwhile, arrests continued on the streets.

Li Xuan already had an ID card and felt that he had finally been able to walk on the streets openly, so he should cherish this opportunity, even though these streets were not very clean.

Besides, streets are dead, but people are alive, so he just needs to find a clean street to walk on.

But before he could take a few steps, a group of soldiers in armor and sharp weapons ran towards him quickly.

Li Xuan was not afraid at all. He calmly took out his ID and prepared to be inspected.

However, what he didn't expect was that these soldiers actually put their weapons directly on him.

Li Xuan opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? I'm a good citizen. This is my ID. You can check it at will!"

The soldier facing Li Xuan shook the long spear in his hand and directly knocked the identity card from Li Xuan's hand.

He shouted sternly, "Don't move! We suspect you're an enemy spy. Come with us now. If you make any movement, you'll be executed on the spot!"

Li Xuan felt a chill in his heart. When was he exposed?

Soon, he realized that the problem was not with his identity, but with the Phoenix Legion.

He raised his hands and said cooperatively, "Sir, don't touch me. I'll go with you."

Seeing Li Xuan being so cowardly, the soldiers looked at each other and then sent someone to escort Li Xuan to the assembly point.

Other soldiers continued to rampage through the streets, trying to capture more people.

Seeing that there was only one person left, Li Xuan prepared to extract some information from this person: "General, I am truly a good citizen. Why are you arresting me?"

As soon as he asked, he felt a hard material poking behind him.

The soldier said firmly: "Enough, stop talking nonsense!"

Li Xuan staggered suddenly after being pushed, but judging from the feeling, it was probably made of wood, so he did not resist violently. Instead, he continued to probe: "Master, you see, I am just an ordinary person. You have a sharp weapon in your hand. Are you afraid that I will escape?"

"Humph! You're quite self-aware!"

"Let me ask you, young men of military age have already gone to the battlefield. Why are you, a young man, still wandering the streets and saying you have no problems?"
