Once they had sorted out their plans and were ready to leave, Return of the King, who was mixed in with the crowd, looked at Hanjun, who had stopped, and asked blankly, "Aren't NPCs coming with us?"
Someone gave him a hard pat on the head and said, "Are you a fool? There's an NPC leading us, why are you staring at the people in the back?"
Return of the King: "…"
It seemed like everyone knew he had a crush on Hanjun.
He had just been staring at Hanjun's appearance and got a little bit mesmerized.
After finally sending off the players, Hanjun felt he would have a few quiet days.
Even if the players had a smooth journey and brought the townspeople back, it would still take them about three days.
Just as Hanjun sighed in relief, Father Barry cautiously asked, "Holy Son, I just remembered something now that you've made me acting town mayor."
Hanjun grunted, "What is it?"
Father Barry said, "If I remember correctly, the town mayor of Ulon Town was also headed to the south. If everyone was captured, he would also be stuck in the bandit camp. If he returns…"
Hanjun said without blinking, "So?"
Father Barry knew that Hanjun didn't care much about the title of the town mayor, but the main issue was, "What if, when the townspeople come back, they choose to listen to the mayor instead?"
Father Barry's concern was not without reason.
A few days ago, they were able to get the remaining townspeople to listen to them because the demon army was so close.
Father Barry gave them a glimmer of hope, and they were willing to cling to that hope.
After surviving with the help of the heroes, they trusted Father Barry even more and became loyal followers of the God of Light, obeying Father Barry's orders.
However, the captives in the bandit camp didn't know what had happened in Ulon Town.
Once they were rescued by the heroes, they would probably not believe that Father Barry led everyone to defeat the demon advance team.
They might even still hold misunderstandings about the Church of Light.
They could be scared and flee when they hear about the plan to build a town to resist the incoming demon army.
This situation made it difficult for them to encourage the townspeople to work and develop the town.
Hanjun's plan might not succeed.
Hanjun looked a bit cold and said casually, "Not listening? I've done enough by rescuing them from the bandits. If they don't want to listen, they can keep wandering. After all, they're the ones who abandoned their own homes."
This meant he wasn't planning to worry about them anymore.
However, if they started to hinder the development of Ulon Town, Hanjun would definitely not be happy.
Father Barry nodded his head in understanding.
Hanjun thought for a moment, rubbing his chin, and asked, "By the way, there should be a church in Lindblum City, right?"
Father Barry explained, "There is an abandoned church there, but there are no priests left."
