Outside the mines of Dengzhou City, the foreigners continued their labor.
After the conflict that left two people dead, these foreigners had clearly split into two factions. Some of them, like the elder foreigner who was killed, were intimidated by the terrifying figure wielding two fiery blades. Even though that figure appeared to them as a devil, it was precisely the fearsome strength of this devil-like figure that made him worthy of their devotion.
And the other foreigners...
They still held onto their faith.
Even though many of their compatriots had already begun to worship that devil, and even their leading elder had long since defected, this small remaining group of foreigners had become more devout than ever.
"God will surely save us!"
Every night, this small group of devout foreigners would quietly gather together to encourage one another.
