After acquiring three groups of earth essences, Nalant ate a delicious lunch and prepared to continue waiting for the next 'business' to come to his door.

But this time, Nalant did not wait for business immediately. Instead, he waited for a few strange gargoyles.

Why is it strange, because there are only five or six gargoyles in total, and they are actually acting alone.

And on top of one of the gargoyles was a guy who didn't know whether it was a dark creature or a human race.

Of course, Nalant deduced that the probability of it being a humanoid dark creature was higher. After all, he had never seen a human race along the way.

He has even temporarily forgotten about the church.

When these guys discovered his camp and actually hovered over his camp, Nalant did not hesitate to let a group of boys and girls take action.

Fireballs shot out one after another, and finally three gargoyles were shot down.

The gargoyle carrying a guy in a black robe whose face could not even be seen was quite lucky and managed to escape.

Of course, that was also because the gargoyle flew the highest with caution, so Nalant could only watch it fly away.

Of course, Nalant didn't care. He intercepted the transaction halfway and knew that there would be a time when he would be exposed.

Even if there are dark creatures really coming to surround and suppress him, he can predict and respond in advance through Swift Eagle and Little Bee.

"I just hope that because of my presence, these dark creatures will no longer dare to escort the earth spirit through this avenue!"

Narante continued eating his lunch, mumbling to himself.

"But having said that, in just one night and one morning, I have acquired five groups of earth essences. This deal is so comfortable!"

"In addition, if I don't intercept this earth essence, will it be an advantage to other empires and principalities in the alliance?"

"I hope they won't blame me afterwards!"

Little did Nalant know that a number of empire and alliance teams were trapped in a tight siege.

I also felt that it was a bit unkind to do so.

After all, so many earth spirits were sent to the Duke's City. If he didn't intercept them, it is estimated that many earth spirits would fall into the hands of the principalities and empires.

Of course, being kind is not kind, and Nalant was not prepared to let go of a good thing like the Earth Spirit.

Moreover, there are actually two roads leading to the Duke City, so he can only harvest half of the earth spirits at most.

Nalant didn't know that his predictions about the situation of those gargoyles and the current alliance's duchy and empire teams were all wrong.

The dark creature that dragged people earlier was none other than the man sent by the Pope to find out why the earth spirits had inexplicably decreased in the past two days.

The spy first explored several gathering places along another avenue and found that everything was normal.

However, when they explored Nalant's route, they found that three gathering places had been breached.

And when he was about to return to report, he happened to see Nalant's camp halfway.

Originally, the spy wanted to get closer and observe more to see why a human team appeared in the rear, but he almost capsized in the ditch.

After he escaped by chance, he naturally did not dare to stop at any time and headed straight towards the Duke's City.

As for the alliance's duchy and empire teams, they are now in a desperate situation of struggling to support themselves.

If they knew that Nalant was dealing with the earth spirits of dark creatures, they would definitely not complain, but would burst into tears and express gratitude, allowing Nalant to suffer more.

Since the church replenished the number of dark creatures yesterday, the morale of the coalition forces has dropped to the lowest point.

What's more terrible is that their food has gradually reached the bottom, which has forced them to reduce their daily quota again in order to survive for two more days.

Under such a situation of low morale, lack of food, and a constant supply of enemies with increasing numbers, all the coalition forces were already feeling desperate.

"Everyone, what should we do now?"

At the impromptu meeting in the ducal city, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

President Theodore took advantage of the temporary weakening of the dark creatures' offensive to convene the meeting again.

"I think we should prepare for a breakout!"

Prince Eric of the Bach Empire spoke up.

"Indeed, there are an endless number of dark creatures now, and the more we kill, the more they will become. If we continue to delay, even if we want to continue to break out, we will still be in great danger!"

Carlisle nodded in agreement after hearing this.

It turns out that since last night, some principalities and empires have begun to propose a forced breakout.

"Prince Eric, Magister Carlisle, what about the soldiers in the city?"

However, this forced breakout also means that not many people can break out. I am afraid that only a small number of elites and strong people can retreat safely.

In this way, I am afraid that 95% of the remaining soldiers will be left in the Duke City and die under the swords of dark creatures.

Upon hearing this, Duke Miller did not agree with the two men's actions.

If you abandon your subordinates and flee under such circumstances, can you still be considered a qualified knight noble?

You know, that's more than 200,000 lives.

"Duke Miller, do you have a better way? If you continue to delay, everyone will die together under the siege of dark creatures!"

"And now we are starting to break out. Although we cannot take away most of the people, we can still keep some elite knights and nobles alive!"

"In this way, isn't it a profit? Only by living can we kill more dark creatures!"
