"Why are the city gates closed? Open it quickly, uncle, I want to leave the city!"
At the front door, a large group of mercenaries and adventurers who were preparing to escape crowded here and protested loudly, while the fleeing crowd behind them was still coming quickly.
But what's interesting is that among these people who fled, there were almost no residents of the territory.
Upon seeing this, Old Barr, who was guarding the city gate with a team of personal guards, said loudly: "Everyone, now the Claymont Territory has been attacked by a tide of beasts. The lord has an order. Anyone who is willing to stay to help resist the monsters will be here.
You will be richly rewarded after the beast tide recedes."
Hearing Old Barr's words, the mercenary adventurers looked at each other in confusion. It's true that they like money, but they are not stupid. How can this small town in front of them resist the scale of this beast tide?
No matter how much money you have, if you don’t have the life to enjoy it, it will be in vain!
"What if we don't want to?"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Looking at the crowd, Old Barr's eyes were deep and his tone was cold, as if he had returned to thirty years ago.
"If you don't want to, please go back to your residence and don't cause any more disturbances in the city. When the beast tide subsides, the city gate will naturally open!"
After hearing these words, everyone was unhappy and crowded towards the city gate, shouting loudly.
"We are not citizens of the territory, why are we not allowed to leave! Open the door quickly! We want to go out!"
"Old guy, open the door quickly, or I will chop you up!"
A stubby man, holding a big sword like a door panel in his hand, rushed towards Old Barr menacingly.
The Guards in front of him were knocked away by him.
Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Old Barr raised his head and glanced at the city wall above the city gate.
Then, a crimson sword light reaching the sky appeared above the city gate in an instant, and passed in front of Old Barr at an extremely fast speed.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, a huge ravine exuding a scorching heat appeared under everyone's feet. On both sides of the gully, the road paved with bluestone slabs had long turned into crystal clear glass.
At this time, the stubby mercenary holding the giant sword on the door panel had a look of horror on his face, and the sweat on his head couldn't stop flowing down.
At that moment, he felt the breath of death that he had never felt before.
"Gudong!"
The sounds of swallowing came one after another, and everyone was obviously shocked by this sword. They were looking at the blurry figure on the city gate in shock.
The scene in front of them told them that this vague figure was very dangerous!
At the same time, behind the crowd, several sneaky figures had expressions of surprise on their faces after seeing the sword.
"Brother, now we are rich!" One of the taller mercenaries with beards whispered to the person next to him.
"Well, don't make any noise, let's go back first!" With that said, these people quietly withdrew from the crowd and ran towards their temporary residence.
"Let's go too!"
In another direction of the crowd, dozens of mercenaries looked at the back of their leader, somewhat confused.
"Captain Angus, where are we going?"
Angus in front said without looking back: "Go and resist the beast tide!"
Seeing people running towards the back door one after another, everyone crowded here also turned around and followed them.
Since no one has come forward, it means that the figure just now is definitely very strong. Only when the gap in strength is too huge will these arrogant mercenaries remain silent.
The small businessmen who saw the situation clearly gave up the idea of escape at this moment, but in their hearts, they cursed the lord here half to death.
Clement, who was riding a green mane and standing in front of the Thunder Knights, suddenly sneezed twice.
'Think twice, scold me, and catch a cold! Someone must be scolding me!'
But he had thought of this a long time ago. It would be strange if no one scolded him for doing this.
"Everyone, don't come over, go back and hide in the cellar!"
Dylan behind him suddenly shouted, and Clemont looked over after hearing the words.
I saw the residents holding hoes, brooms, sickles and other weapons in their hands, rushing into the new city from the city gate one by one.
Although their faces were full of horror when they saw the monsters rushing not far away, their determination to protect their homeland still drove them here.
Seeing this, Clemont quickly rode his horse to stop them. Looking at the simple people, his nose felt a little sore.
"Everyone, go back quickly. The wave of monsters is coming soon. As long as we are still alive, we will never let a monster in!"
"Lord, there are so many monsters, how can you deal with them! Although we don't know how to fight, we still have the strength. It is also our duty to protect the territory!"
Among the crowd, an elderly farmer waved an old sickle in his hand, his face full of perseverance and perseverance.
Throughout his life, he had always fled in panic when encountering wars. After so many years of running away, he was tired. Moreover, Clermont Territory was the first place where he felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time. In order to prevent this place from being destroyed, he
I am willing to sacrifice my life for this.
"Yes, Lord Lord, just let us participate! We don't want to lose our home again!"
Looking at the earnest eyes of the people, Clemont had mixed emotions for a moment. Perhaps at this moment, he truly put himself in the position of a lord.
For the sake of the territory and these lovely people, he must do his best.
"Okay!" Clemont nodded.
"Long live the lord! Claremont will definitely win!!!" After receiving the agreement, bursts of cheers came from the crowd.
The mercenaries who came behind everyone were shocked when they saw this scene.
This scene was something they had never seen before. In the years they had traveled, they had never seen a territory where the citizens could organize themselves to defend the territory.
"Old Hall, I appoint you as the captain of the militia. Your militia is responsible for guarding the old city wall, but you have to promise me that you are not allowed to go out of the city to fight until we are all killed in battle.
"Yes! Old Hall obeys the order!" Holding the sickle, Old Hall happily took the lead and walked up the old city wall.
Looking at the mercenaries emerging from behind, Clemont said in a deep voice:
"I know you hate me now, and I don't want to explain it, but remember, as long as you resist the beast tide sincerely, when the beast tide subsides, I will give you one hundred thousand gold coins as your reward.
If you unfortunately die, I will also send the reward to your relatives, and I will guarantee it with the honor of the nobles!"
After saying that, Clemont ignored them and rode his horse back to the Knights of Raging Thunder, staring at the tide of beasts sternly.
However, when he glanced at the scene next to him with his peripheral vision, he was relieved. As long as these mercenary adventurers joined the battle, this beast tide would not be unstoppable.
Finally, the beasts at the front rushed to Clemont's planned defensive line. Just like the small beasts last time, the beasts at the front were just ordinary beasts.
This is exactly what Clement wants. Since the mounts of the Knights of Fury were just installed a day ago, most of the knights are not very proficient in riding skills, so these beasts can be used to practice.
"Knights of Furious Thunder! Charge!" Clemont shouted with a long sword in his hand, and the thunder fighting spirit instantly cut through the night sky.
"kill!"
The Raging Thunder Knights lined up and charged away with an angry roar.
