Chapter 37 The Demon King’s Army Attacks the City

The knight's medal shining like a gem was stained with mud, dimming its brilliance. Noel rubbed it with his fingertips, revealing its original brilliance.

Noelle felt much better after hearing the man's explanation. Although in Captain Orton's words, Kingdom knights were the lowest-valued knight type, in her heart, knights were not like that.

If the knights of the kingdom drove the demonic wolves to kill refugees and plunder their property, then she would be really disappointed with this world.

The deputy kneeling in front of Noelle did not dare to say a word, for fear that he would provoke the murderous girl again. The breeze blew through the drizzle, and the deputy was trembling all over, and his hands and feet felt cold.

Judging from the girl's tone, the person or the person's family is probably also a knight of the kingdom.

Thinking of this, the deputy became even more anxious. He had known better not to reveal the story of trapping and killing the knight. Maybe there was still room for maneuver, but now.

Orton tied up the group of people with a tough vine, and then used his heavy sword to push aside the pile of patchwork equipment. "Haha~ you have a lot of good stuff. There are several big bags of copper coins. These are Raised from dead refugees?"

Oton's question made no one in the room say a word, and the only sound left was the rustle of leaves blown by the rain and wind on the back slope of the hill.

"What to do with these people?" Orton looked at Noelle, "Kill them all?"

As soon as these words came out, the people kneeling in the mud on the hill immediately started to stir. Some were crying and begging for mercy, some were waiting for the opportunity to escape, and some wanted to grit their teeth and rush forward to die with Noelle and others.

"Captain, you can just handle it." Noelle threw the knighthood medal to the kneeling adjutant and walked away without looking back.

"Alas~" Seeing the girl walking away, Orton sighed, "You have caused some trouble for me."

"Fight with him! He is alone anyway!" someone roared, and as a result, the small group was completely silent, and no one took the lead at all.

Orton glanced over, and the crowd immediately moved out of the way, leaving only one person with a red face.

"You cowards! How could you not take advantage of such a good opportunity?"

Before the word "hold" could be uttered, Orton's heavy sword suddenly slashed down, and the headless corpse fell to the ground, with blood flowing down the muddy water towards the foot of the mountain.

"I originally planned to kill you all." As soon as Orton opened his mouth, everyone trembled like quails.

"But now it seems that I'd better hand you over to the coalition forces."

Some people in the crowd were relieved. If they killed the kingdom's knights and left them to the coalition forces, they would probably die, but it would be better than death now. I heard that going to the battlefield would reduce their sentences, so maybe they still have a chance.

When the Adventurer's Guild's carriage hit the road again, behind the muddy carriage was a line of people with their hands tied together. They could only run quickly behind the carriage and be sure not to fall, otherwise they would be dragged along all the way. Returning to the city on the eastern front, even if you don't die, you will lose half your life.

"Quick! Quick!" Behind the eastern city, the knights of the Kingdom wearing armor shouted loudly: "Everyone enters the city in an orderly manner! The detection must be quick and fast! The city gate will be closed in half an hour! Everyone, hurry up!"

The soldiers, civilians, adventurers, demon prosecutors and others were sweating on their heads. Last night, the frontline scouts suddenly received news that two of the five cities guarding the eastern front were gone. The Demon King's army tore through the defense line, but did not attack the kingdom in a big way. , but from both sides to the east line city.

As the absolute core of the five cities on the Eastern Front, this is the last hope for resisting the Demon King's army on the Eastern Front.

"Go! Go! Go!"

The soldiers guarding the top of the city were standing ready, staring intently at the demon detection area below. If anything went wrong, the two-meter-tall enchanted giant crossbow would make the demons drink their hatred on the spot.

Suddenly, the observing soldiers discovered that a carriage was driving on the main road. What was even more strange was that behind the carriage there were a group of people tied up and trotting. One of them was actually wearing the armor of a knight of the kingdom!

"Sir! Sir!" the soldier shouted, "A suspected target is approaching!"

Just like that, before Noelle and others approached the city, they were stopped by a group of soldiers.

The leading knight glanced at the badge on the carriage, then saw Orton and others getting out of the car. He took a look at the adventurer nameplates around everyone's necks and narrowed his eyes slightly, "From the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Yes," Orton said, "We accepted the commission from the Marquis of Odzi."

The face of the leading knight changed slightly. In the eastern city, the Marquis of Odetsis was the king here, but the strength of the opponent's team did not look like they could invite the Marquis of Odetsis.

"This is a letter of entrustment." Orton said nothing and handed over the envelope with the Marquis' family crest directly.

The knight swept past, but did not take over. He had no control over what the Marquis entrusted the other party with, otherwise he would get angry.

"What's going on with them?" The knight nodded, looking at the group of embarrassed people behind the carriage, and lingered on the man who was also wearing knight armor for a long time.

"Kill the knights on the battlefield, and drive the demon wolves to intercept and kill the refugees on the official road." Orton turned sideways to allow the knights to look at him more easily.

The leading knight was entrusted by the Marquis to take the lead, and the leading knight couldn't figure out the man. Besides, he was indeed unfamiliar with the man's appearance. He waved his hand and said: "We will take over this group of people. You go and complete the test as soon as possible. The city will be closed soon."

"What?" Nita wondered, "The city is closed? The Demon King's army is attacking the city again?"

"Ha~" the knight smiled bitterly, "What a coincidence that you came here. The main force of the Demon King's army attacked the city and surrounded it on two fronts. We can only wait for rescue in the city."

"Can't we leave now?"

"Let's go?" The knight shook his head, "The Demon King's army has occupied too many places, including the group of refugees you mentioned before. It is estimated that they will not be able to escape the clutches of the monster."

Noelle frowned.

"Hurry up and check the city," the knight said without saying much. "We don't have much time left."

Perhaps because the city is about to be closed down, this place is more lively than the magic detection point in the capital. It is crowded with people. There are dozens of magic detection points alone.

"Go! Go!"

The prosecutor saw the mirror light up with white light and kept urging the crowd to move forward.

"Efficiency! Efficiency! Those who are wearing gauntlets and armbands on the back, take off those things for me!"

Noelle looked at Nita, who shrugged. She was an archer, and because of her flexible body, she only wore leather armor, so she didn't need to be that troublesome.

Salina followed closely behind Noelle, and the tight atmosphere made her particularly nervous.

Noelle took off his gauntlet, revealing his green and jade-like hands. Suddenly, there was a riot in front of him.

A red light bloomed on the mirror, and a figure hiding in the hood expanded directly. In the blink of an eye, it skyrocketed into a several-meter-tall troll. With one slap, the prosecutor who called for support was smashed into a pulp!

After a short period of silence, the field suddenly became chaotic. The adventurer detection area was mixed with fish and dragons, most of them were mid-level adventurers. In just two or three seconds, a dozen people died tragically at the hands of the troll.

"Shoot it to death!" On the city, the knight ordered the soldier in charge of the enchanted giant crossbow.

"Sir, there are too many people around it. Once launched, it will definitely kill innocent people."

"Get out of here!" The knight was furious, pushed away the soldiers, and personally controlled the enchanted crossbow. When he took aim, he saw a red shadow coming up with the light of his sword.
