"I say, Tatyana, you are one of us from Wolumonde, how can you help outsiders? Besides, we just wanted to know what was in the vehicles, and they actually used arts to injure several people! Although we in Wolumonde welcome friends from outside, these Infected troublemakers are no longer welcome."
A well-dressed representative, who clearly knew Tatyana, walked to the front of the crowd and spoke to Tatyana, who stood between the two sides.
At this moment, Tatyana was also in a dilemma. Just now, a group of people came from the other side of the passage, clearly because there was a problem with that passage, so they came here to take refuge.
When they arrived at this passage, they saw two heavily covered large vehicles parked not far away. At a time when most people only had time to run into the safe zone themselves, and all their money and assets left outside would likely face huge losses or even be completely lost, seeing these two brand-new trucks, clearly loaded with many things, some people had ideas.
Being able to drive into the safe passage in such an urgent situation proved that there must be very valuable things inside these two trucks. Then, upon seeing that all those guarding the vehicles were young girls, someone wanted to secretly take something from the truck to compensate for their losses.
But he didn't expect that none of these young girls were easy to mess with. Upon discovering someone attempting to climb into the trunk, Gloria, still in her Night Demon state, unceremoniously unleashed an Art on the intruder.
Only a scream was heard as the person was blasted off the vehicle by the Art.
And when his companions discovered that their comrade was actually attacked by a little girl, clearly an Infected, at such a time, they immediately rushed forward. First, they wanted to capture the Night Demon, and second, they tried to use this incident to threaten and obtain the items in the vehicle.
But they never expected that Gloria, in her "Night Demon" state, showed no fear at all. Instead, upon seeing these people rush over, she unceremoniously released Arts continuously, and soon several people were knocked to the ground by the Night Demon.
The screams of the fallen also attracted the attention of others nearby. As one of the representatives, one person's eyes darted around, and he prepared to use this incident to force Rhodes Island to give up the vehicles and the property inside, and to demand that Rhodes Island's people immediately leave Wolumonde on the grounds that Wolumonde did not welcome troublemakers.
One must know that the Catastrophe outside had not yet stopped. This person's demand was equivalent to sending Folinic and her group to their deaths. How could anyone agree to such a condition? Everyone picked up their weapons and aimed at the representative.
"Miss Tatyana, if Wolumonde does not need Rhodes Island's assistance, we will leave with all our supplies after the Catastrophe. But if this gentleman and his companions continue to pressure us, then I will consider your side to be declaring war on Rhodes Island. According to the international organization's Catastrophe relief regulations, to ensure our safety, we will choose to lift attack restrictions..."
Folinic showed no politeness towards these fools who were blinded by some uncertain wealth. As her words fell, the Rhodes Island members remaining there loaded their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly plummeted.
The well-dressed representative did not expect these young girls to be so tough. At this moment, he was in a difficult position. He wanted to continue to pressure them, but the gleaming weapons in the girls' hands were clearly real. Who could guarantee that these young girls would not actually use them?
But if he backed down, he would lose face, and so they were at a stalemate for a while.
The Night Demon, who had been on the vehicle watching the situation, saw the sweat on the representative's forehead and showed a look of contempt.
"Oh dear, Vice Captain, I can't control my Arts!" While saying this, the Night Demon unceremoniously pushed her Art towards the representative's position.
Seeing the Art coming directly at him, the representative, who had been feigning strength just moments before, could no longer hold it together. With a scream, he ran pell-mell towards the other side of the passage, and his angry roars could be heard from the passage as he ran:
"You just wait, I won't let this go. I will definitely report this to Sephyrin. If he doesn't give me a solution, when the mayor returns, I'll report it to the mayor. You must pay the price for what you've done..."
The remaining people, seeing that the other party was so ruthless and didn't hesitate to act, and with their leader having fled, also ran out of the passage. For a time, only the Rhodes Island group and Tatyana remained in the passage.
Faced with this sudden situation, Tatyana felt her vision blur. She naturally knew what these people were planning, but just as the leader said, Rhodes Island was an outsider, and she, especially her fiancé Thor, was his father's best successor as the gendarmerie captain.
Even for her fiancé's future promotion in Wolumonde, to avoid being held back, she dared not make things difficult for these representatives.
"Don't worry, Miss Tatyana, just report what happened here truthfully to Captain Sefrin. If he also believes it's Rhodes Island's fault, then we will leave immediately."
Having followed Kaltsit for many years, Folinic had also learned some of Kaltsit's aura, and since her side was in the right this time, she felt no pressure at all.
Moreover, if Captain Sefrin was truly in cahoots with these nobles and wealthy merchants, at worst, Rhodes Island could find a place outside the city to set up a base. After all, with the medical supplies and medical expertise they carried, setting up a treatment point inside or outside the city actually made little difference.
Coupled with Kanna and Miss Nian behind her as powerful and effective combat support for the team, Folinic felt very confident at this moment.
Tatyana looked at Folinic's determined gaze and couldn't help but sigh, "Alright, I will tell Captain Sefrin the most truthful account of what happened here. From what I know of him, if Rhodes Island can bring more to Wolumonde than that merchant, then Captain Sefrin will undoubtedly side with Rhodes Island."
"Then I'll trouble you!" Folinic nodded towards Tatyana and then got into the vehicle and sat down.
When her bottom touched the chair, Folinic felt her whole body go limp. Although she had appeared so strong just now, this was her first time facing such a situation, and she had relied entirely on a surge of passion to stand firm until the end.
After the other party left, the initial excitement faded, and she felt her legs begin to weaken. She held on until she reached the car, then her whole body went limp as if her bones had been removed.
"Have some water!"
At this moment, Anto held a cup of water to Folinic's mouth.
"Tsk, it's a pity I don't have a camera on hand, otherwise I'd definitely take a picture of you like this."
