Chapter 176 Heroes Rules And Punishment

It had been around 5 minutes since Seth took up his messiah role, and just like he predicted, the crowd that trailed behind him increased at an alarming rate.

Seth turned around to check the group and estimated around 70 people, a number which had him raising an eyebrow as he released a tiny bit of his aura on the group.

With the fear, anxiety, and uncertainty which most of them felt, the crowd behind Seth had begun getting rowdy and chaotic, and a bunch of people squabbling behind him wasn't the least bit amusing.

Seth moved forward, walking towards the crowd, and as he approached, the people at the front were filled with fear, some running away and heading into the buildings around while a few ran to the back of the group.

Seth continued this intimidation of his till he was once more face to face with the pregnant woman who was carrying her child.

Perhaps having already interacted with him before, the woman made no move to run away from him despite the threatening aura coming off him, but she did hold her child closer to her chest.

A smile that Seth had no control over popped on his face, as he raised his hand to the woman, his palm outstretched as he waited for her to take it.

Seth could see fear and confusion flash through the woman's eyes as she stared at him, and then taking a deep breath, she stretched out her right hand and took his arm, allowing him to pull her to his side as they began walking forward.

Perhaps feeling that Seth was abandoning them, the few people that were behind the woman began screaming out some words, as they rushed to follow behind him.

A sigh from his left Seth's lips as he had to turn around and release his aura to stop the incoming crowd from swarming him.

"Man it's stressful leading these people if I can't communicate with them" Seth groaned, since he had already let them follow him, Seth had no intentions of sending them away, but if he couldn't communicate with them and direct them, then protecting them might just be impossible for him.

"Is there anyone here who understands me" Seth shouted hoping to luck out and at least find one brilliant mind that learned the cultivation tongue.

Seth's words echoed around, but seconds passed and he got no reply, but before he could take any other action to increase communication between him and the group, he heard the rapid footsteps of people approaching.

Seth felt the pregnant woman squeeze his hand tighter, while the little crowd that was before him dispersed, about 7 people just left standing there and trembling as they looked at Seth with hope in their eyes.

Turning to look at the incoming guests, Seth spotted about 50 soldiers, all dressed in their attire of a green top, black trousers, and black face mask.

Their presence didn't really surprise Seth as he had expected them to arrive given his latest actions and the people he was carrying around.

Seth moved to destroy them, but a hand held him back, this having Seth turn and look at the pregnant woman whom he could see was filled with fear at the thought of him leaving her.

Lightly tapping the woman's hand, Seth released her grip on him, then proceeded to point at her, and then point at the ground, and then he turned to the remaining people behind her and repeated the same action.

Hoping the people got the meaning behind his actions, Seth's feet kicked off the ground, red and black appearing in his hands as he attacked the incoming horde of green beings.

Swinging either red or black as he moved forwards, Seth mowed down the small horde before him, none of them being noteworthy considering the strongest qi he had felt was at the general stage, and it was probably just a single person.

After he had finished dealing with the soldiers, Seth moved back to the pregnant woman, the crowd behind him having quickly grown once again to around 80, and Seth could still many more of them adding to the group from the back.

Seth predicted a geometric growth of the crowd as he moved closer to the interior city, and with this, the need to communicate with the crowd was quite a desperate one.

"Is there anyone here who understands the words coming out of my mouth?" Seth asked once more, deciding to ask one more time before he settled on a not very peaceful method of communication.

"I do " a voice answered some seconds later, coming from a half-collapsed building to Seth's right as a man of around 30 years walked out from the building's destroyed door, and following behind him was a beautiful woman holding on to a little girl.

"Sure wait to verify my strength before showing up" Seth internally grumbled.

As the man approached Seth, his steps surprisingly quite confident, but as he opened his mouth to speak, Seth cut him off.

"Tell them all to stand 7 steps behind her, anyone who does otherwise will die," Seth said, but instead of doing what Seth asked of him, the man instead spoke to him.

"I know you want to keep a special eye on her sir, but these people are all anxious and filled with fear, no matter what you say, they will ignore your words and crowd around this woman if they believe the security here would be best".

Hearing the man's words, Seth couldn't help but be dumbfounded, sure he spoke the truth, but when did ask for the man's input, not to mention the confidence with which the man spoke the words.

"Tell her to move four steps forward," Seth said pointing to the pregnant woman, and the man though taken aback by Seth's orders, relayed his words to the woman who only complied after looking at him and seeing him nod his head.

"Now tell them what I just told you," Seth said, the man wisely following Seth's orders this time.

"You and your family can walk beside her," Seth said and began walking ahead, not bothering to reply to the man's words of thanks.

It wasn't up to a minute since they began walking that the man's word came through as the crowd ignored their earlier commands to stay 7 steps behind.

The crowd move to join up with people ahead, but barely a second into their advancement, the first row of people in front exploded into flesh bits, and a second later, a dreadfull aura settled on the crowd.

Sure they were scared of the soldiers, but the easy way to fix that was to make them more scared of him.
