They had likely stolen most of the town's supplies.
Judging by the bandits' actions, it was clear they were taking advantage of the situation, knowing the demons were coming and that people would be desperate to escape.
They captured the fleeing people, robbed them, and planned to let them go just before the demons arrived, so they could escape themselves.
As for whether those robbed townspeople would survive, that wasn't their concern.
To Father Barry, what these bandits did was the height of shalessness, especially since the people they robbed were once residents of Ulon Town.
Father Barry couldn't help but look at Hanjun.
Seeing Father Barry's expression, Hanjun knew right away that Father Barry's kind-hearted nature was kicking in again—he wanted to rescue the townspeople.
But knowing Hanjun's personality, he was definitely not going to agree to Father Barry's request.
However, Hanjun had to admit that there were too few people left in Ulon Town.
Hanjun wanted to develop Ulon Town into a beginner village for new players, and that ant it would need to accommodate a lot more people.
The current population of the town would likely be overwheld by the influx of players.
After dealing with the demon advance team, Hanjun believed that the next urgent task was to quickly grow the population of Ulon Town, gradually turning it into a large city.
Not to ntion, the demon army was still advancing toward the south from the north.
If Ulon Town could be developed into a frontline city that successfully blocked the demon army, it would also provide players with a great place to easily earn contribution points for the Church of Light.
Since the bandits had captured the people fleeing from Ulon Town, it made it easier for Hanjun to bring them back.
After thinking it over, Hanjun casually said, "If you want to save them, then go ahead. I just need to summon the second batch of players, and there should be enough people for the job."
To Father Barry, Hanjun's quick agreent seed like he was moved by his request, and his eyes were lit up with excitent.
Hanjun thought that this was one downside—his priest was a bit too eager to worship him.
With his modern mindset, Hanjun wasn't quite used to it yet.
Owell didn't understand what summoning players ant, but he was shocked by how easily Hanjun talked about saving the townspeople.
"But... but the demons are already here! Even if we go back to Ulon Town, what's the point? We won't survive."
Hanjun glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, the demons won't break through Ulon Town's defenses, and you won't die."
Owell opened his mouth, struggling to find words, "You... is this for real?"
He rembered that Hanjun had only said he would throw him into the pile of demon corpses, but he misunderstood it as aning the demons were already at the door, and that even if he ca back, he wouldn't escape death.
Hanjun remained silent, so Father Barry explained to Owell, "The demon advance team has already been wiped out by the heroes summoned by the God of Light. The town is safe now."
