Dean's arrival was like a rainfall from plants in the desert, which made the entire Salted Fish Harbor rejuvenate. At least for Gray, this was especially true.

"We do not have strong force, but we can still make our contributions. If we respect the Paladins, we will live better than others, then it will be the greatest support for the Paladins and the most powerful rebuttal to those opponents!"

"right!"

At Dean's call, the supporters of Gray began a new life in the nearly abandoned Salted Fish Port.

Gray was stunned.

"War is only temporary, and what is truly eternal is life. Only by changing the lifestyle can we change the world. This is what I have learned during my travels over the past few years." Dean said to Gray.

"You've been traveling in the past few years?"

"Yes. After you accepted the title of Saint, I left Baicheng and traveled around. I bet that no one knows life better now than I do. Especially in terms of mentality."

Under Dean's call, people, like pioneers, gathered abandoned land and began to replant, build new houses, and even used fishing boats according to local conditions and began to learn to go out to sea to catch fish.

"You can't drink when you go to sea. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I haven't drunk for over a year, really! I swear!"

Starting from scratch, bringing unlimited possibilities to this place, and to everyone.

One after another, more people came to Xianyu Port from all over the mainland. There were farmers, vendors, serious merchants, and even knights. There were all kinds of people, all kinds of people.

"They insisted on saying that the Paladin was a lich and it was definitely bad. No matter how they said it, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I had to move my family over. It was really great here, and no one was talking about all the mess in my ears anymore."

"Hey, have you heard where the Paladins recruit soldiers? I only know how to fight. Aren't all countries sending troops here now? I'm ready to fight for the Paladins. But why don't I even see a recruitment point?"

"Do you know where there is a postman? It's not a pigeon, it's a postman. The pigeon is so expensive. I want to send a letter home to my mother, and she will definitely be proud of me."

"So many children, I think I can open a school here. Yes, yes, I pay for it. Money doesn't matter, what is important is to use it where it should be used. We will die of old age, but the Paladin will survive. We should educate more children to accept the right faith, and fortunately we will continue to support the Paladin after we leave."

"Whenever someone tells me that Lord Paladin is a liar, I will answer him: 'Yes, this liar deceived me and made me live a good life. I hope he lied to me a few more times.'"

"It was the Paladin who made me understand that this world could be smooth and flawless. Now they want to drag me back to the originally dirty world and accept those damn helpless things. Sorry, I don't agree. I don't understand why everything can be settled, but the Paladin is a Lich who cannot be settled. So I chose to stand beside the Paladin and fight for him. Let the fools die!"

The streets of Xianyu Port were bustling again, crowded with people coming from other places and preparing to take root here. They were in hope and urgently needed a job and a foothold.

The residents who were originally closed finally walked out one by one.

"Aren't you afraid of him? I mean Lord Paladin, and those undead knights."

"Why are you afraid of your lord?"

"Because they are all dead."

"So what? Did he do anything bad to you?"

"This is not. I only know that he sets very low taxes for us, and sometimes even forgets to collect them. He actually rarely stays in Xianyu Port."

Passers-by spread their hands and left, leaving only the residents who came out to question standing there. Looking at the Silver Moon Knight standing in the distance and being watched by the children, the residents of Xianyu Port suddenly felt a little like a fool.

"Yes, why am I afraid of the undead? Because of death? But I will die sooner or later. Shouldn't it be his behavior to determine whether a person is good or bad? Why should I believe all kinds of messy rumors without trusting my own eyes?"

Some things are so weird. People are always afraid, but never think about why they are afraid. It is like the fear itself. When most people around them accept it, this stubborn fear can be relieved in an instant, disappearing without a trace, completely as if it never existed.

"Can you believe it? Such a prosperous city is actually a city that is about to break out." Abold smiled.

"You seem to be very happy?" Catherine asked softly.

“Is there any?”

"Yes." Catherine nodded and said, "You are much happier than a few days ago."

"Is that so? I just saw something beautiful and felt a little relieved. Just like when you became Gray's guardian angel, my duty cannot allow me to do the same thing as you, but I can at least give applause and at least show my attitude."

Compared with other species, humans are always fragile, but humans are extremely strong. They can be disgustingly cunning, or they can be desperate for their faith. In the stormy history, there will always be people who wake up, and there will always be people who do the right thing and become stars that shine in the long river.

The entire Xianyu Port is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the biggest change is undoubtedly people's hearts.

"Sir Paladin! Do you still remember me? Absburg! Do you still remember? Sorry, we are here now. We need some time to settle our families. After all, there is a very likely war here and we cannot bring them together. But our pledge is still valid!" The leader of a whole army of a thousand people shouted to Gray.

"Remember! Thank you!" Grey lowered his head and cut a cross on his chest.

Shelley stood on the balcony holding Gray's hand and looked at her eyes with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe her eyes anymore.

More people were still arriving one after another. In just a few days, the population of Xianyu Port was even greater than before. Dean had to guard the city himself, waiting for those who came from all over the country, so as not to enter the city rashly and cause unnecessary chaos. At the same time, it was also to arrange them more properly and reduce their troubles. Some of the people entering the city who were originally residents of Xianyu Port ran back.

"I thank you for your arrival on behalf of the Paladin, and Xianyu Port welcomes you. However, we are here to support the Paladin, not to cause new troubles to him, nor to add new burden to Xianyu Port. I hope everyone can understand this. Otherwise, our actions will be meaningless."

"certainly."

"We must live better than we were originally, and all bad events should not happen here. Everyone should be kind and upright, and people should help each other. Otherwise, there is no point in coming here. Do you understand what I mean? We can't argue with them, so the best way is to prove it with facts. This is a game with the Holy Spirit, and we must let the Holy Spirit hear our call."

"I understand! For the Paladin!"

"May the Holy Light be with you."

"May the Holy Light be with you!"

Dean is busy every day and takes a kettle to walk around the streets.

Given that the original Xianyu Port was so limited that it could not accommodate so many people, most of them could only set up tents outside the city. The whole thing looked like a slum. The difference was that it was a clean and orderly slum.

...

"So, don't you have to fight the war next?" Ritchie asked Delia.

"I don't know either." Delia replied in a low voice.

"Didn't it mean that as long as my father is not attacked, heaven will not attack my father?"

"Yes, but now the Paladin is not attacked by some humans. In fact, more humans will still attack him."

"What about these people who support our fathers? Will the Holy Spirit fight with them?"

Delia frowned and was silent, not sure how to answer.

The situation is moving in an unknown direction.

...

Time passes by bit by bit, and more and more people gather.

At the same time, under the call of the Holy See, the armies of various countries have already set off towards Xianyu Port, and some of them have even reached the edge of Grey's territory. However, differences have also begun to arise among the front-line troops, especially the Southern troops.

"I thought I would see an evil lich, guarding the castle that was not sunny all year round, with dark clouds and lightning and thunder all around. What did we see? A prosperous city? This is not the same as the one that we had agreed at the beginning. I thought I was here to attack an evil lord, but you wanted me to kill a beloved lord?"

"But that's a lich. Are we going to let him go?"

"So, the reason we attacked Xianyu Port is just because he is a lich, right? Besides that, there is no other reason? To be honest, I am not very able to accept such a reason. It is not sufficient at all."

...

"This is an unguarded harbor, and he did not force anyone to stay. Anyone can enter at any time and anyone can leave at any time. This is not the style that an evil lord should have. It is not the same as what we are promoting to us."

"Maybe they've all been brainwashed?"

"Brainwashing? Do you think I've been brainwashed too? In fact, I think it's good there, and everyone is very friendly. When I secretly went over to investigate today, a pastor gave me a pendant. He recognized me at a glance, but he did not stop me, nor did he let me tie me up. He just reminded me to ask and figure out what he wanted."

...

Amid this debate and doubt, of course, there are also voices who firmly support the fight against Gray. Undoubtedly, the one who wants to fight against Gray is naturally the forces of the Gustav Empire and the original forces of the Holy See.

Unfortunately, Gustav's troops were still far away from Xianyu City. As for the power of the Holy See, although they had arrived a long time ago, they did not dare to take a step forward.

After all, they were defeated by Gray not long ago. Even at this moment, with the power of the four paladins, they could easily take the Salted Fish Port, but they themselves did not know.

Time passes by bit by bit.

Li Wei was starting to be anxious.

"How long will it take for the Angels Legion to arrive?"

"I don't know either." Julian replied: "The turbulence of time and space is not so easy to travel through, it takes a little time."

"It's not that the Holy Spirit's will has changed, right?"

"I can't answer you this question. However, this possibility is not ruled out."

Li Wei became even more anxious.

If Gray regains power, he knows better than anyone else.

...

Gustav's emperor Cedric V was equally anxious.

"Dear Dragon God, why hasn't the Angel Legion arrived yet? Was it, something unexpected happened?"

"This question is not what you should ask, just do your own thing."

"Affect the order."

Although he was nervous, Cedric V still had to order the army to continue advancing.

Unlike those who firmly attack Gray, those who support Gray are in a pleasant atmosphere. After all, the situation is indeed developing in a good direction.

More and more people support Gray, and Salt Fish Port is crowded. There are a lot of troops stationed on the periphery, but no one is willing to take a step forward. The angel legion, which should be the main force, has not appeared for a long time, and the new commands of the Holy Spirit have not arrived for a long time. Even the prayers of the new Pope Darren IV did not echo at all.

As for the army of the Gustav Empire, they are still on the way. However, even if they arrive, they cannot change anything.

The Knights of the Silver Moon have never been afraid of any army composed of humans.
