Chapter 43 Sir, she is here

The next day.

Dawn had just broken, and last night's heavy rain turned into a light drizzle that still hasn't stopped.

On the city wall, the knight in charge of one of the enchanted giant crossbows was still wary of staring at the Demon King's army in the distance.

Under the cover of the fog, the Demon King's army in the distance was like a black tide connecting the two worlds, with no end visible at a glance. Even though the attack had stopped, monster roars could still be heard from within the Demon King's army from time to time.

The discarded corpses of monsters piled up into hills under the city wall. The heavy rain washed away all night, but it could not completely wash away the blood gathered outside the city. The external defenses were completely damaged, and even the thick city walls had gaps of various sizes.

What makes the knight heartbroken is that he is the only one left in his row of dozens of giant crossbow operators. Even the corpses of the rationed logistics personnel have been devoured by endless monsters.

"Sir," the soldier who had just stepped onto the city wall reminded, "you can rest now."

The knight turned his head suddenly, his angry eyes full of bloodshot eyes, startling the soldier.

"Sir! Sir!" As the soldiers exclaimed, the knight relaxed his spirit, released his crossbow, and passed out completely.

The study room of the Marquis Palace.

Also without rest all night was the Marquis of Odzi and her close aides.

The continuous battle reports that came in last night scared them so much that they almost thought that the Eastern Front City would be lost overnight. No one expected that the attack of the Demon King's army would be so fierce.

All the arrangements turned into a joke under the attack of the Demon King's army who was not afraid of death.

One of the staff members tugged on his collar in an attempt to let more air come into contact with his hot skin to cool him down. He glanced left and right and said, "With the kind of offensive last night, before the resources in the city are exhausted, we can The guarded city will "

Everyone knew clearly that yesterday they had suffered a lot because of the delay in the supply of food and grass, but today they suddenly discovered that the Demon King's army had no intention of surrounding them.

"Those two demon generals haven't taken action yet."

This sentence made everyone present feel extremely uncomfortable.

Sitting at the end of the seat, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties stood up and marked two points on the sand table.

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

"As we all know, the vast majority of the expendable troops of the Demon King's Army are composed of a group of low-level monsters without brains. Once there is no upper-level restraint, this group of monsters will collapse in a very short period of time and split into hundreds of exiled branches within the kingdom."

"What do you want to say?" Odzi, who was sitting in the first place, vaguely guessed the young man's thoughts.

"This is the location of the Demon General we deduced based on the size of the Demon King's army and the classification of monsters." The young man pointed at the two points marked just now and said: "We only need to send strong men to perform a decapitation operation. Once successful, the entire Demon King's army will be killed." The general has no leader, and the monsters under the devil general are unable to control the army and will only fall apart."

Everyone was silent, the young man was right, as long as he could kill the Demon God General, everything would be easy.

After killing the Demon God General, the Demon King's army dispersed into hundreds to harm the towns in the kingdom. That was not their business. At most, they could issue a commission in the Adventurer's Guild and let those profit-seeking adventurers destroy the remaining army.

Well, just like last time.

If you can't kill the Demon God General and the ones who die are the strong and knowledgeable ones in the garrison on the Eastern Front, then how can you do that?

"Sir," the white-haired staff member suggested to Odeqi: "It is not easy to cultivate strong men in the army. Why not recruit private adventurers to help?"

"I agree. Didn't I hear yesterday that there was a powerful man who could kill trolls with one sword? Strong men from other forces can also make them join the coalition by using emotion and understanding. No, for

Contribute to protecting the people within the kingdom."

Odezi thought for a moment, then looked at the silent knight, "Where is the list of adventurers I asked you to count yesterday?"

"Sir," the knight knelt down on one knee, "the rain was too heavy yesterday, and the statistical work was severely hampered. Only about one-third of the statistics were collected. The rain has subsided this morning, and my subordinates have sent people to continue the statistics. I think it will be counted again later.

It will take some time to get results.”

"Have you found the girl?"

"We have separately told the statisticians about their facial features. Once we find the other party's residence, we will be notified as soon as possible."

Nita was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. She stood up in confusion and found that she had already finished washing and was sitting at the table reading a book. Noel got up and opened the door.

Opening the door, a knight appeared in front of everyone. The bright silver armor still had rainwater residue on it, and it fell to the floor along the arc of the armor from time to time.

Seeing Noelle's appearance and the white porcelain nameplate tied around his neck, the knight's eyes lit up, "Hello, I am an official of the Marquis Palace who is responsible for statistics on adventurers."

"Statistics?" Nita walked over rubbing her eyes and looked up and down, "What are you doing with statistics?"

The knight said: "I heard that the Marquis is planning to reopen the Adventurer's Guild in the Eastern Front City. Last night our garrison repelled the Demon King's army's offensive. The two sides have formed a confrontation. We need some brave and fearless adventurers to supplement the army and complete some tasks."

It is a task that is difficult for the coalition forces to complete, and for this, the Marquis Mansion will also give generous rewards."

"That sounds nice." Nita scanned the book in the knight's hand again, and sure enough, a large number of adventurers were registered on it.

"Nita, the Lion Fang Team, Silver and other archers. Lying inside are the priests of the Earth Mother Temple, Sapphire and others, and their name is Shalina."

After Nita finished speaking, she yawned by herself and wanted to go back and lie down for a while.

The knight moved the pen tip and finished recording the rustling sound in an instant, looking at Noelle with expectant eyes.

Noelle always felt that something was wrong. The way the knight looked at Nita just now was not like that.

"Noelle, Lion Fang Squadron, White Porcelain Cavalry Heavy Swordsman." Although he really wanted to use the word 'knight', Noelle thought about it and changed it to Heavy Swordsman.

"Thank you for your understanding." After the recording was completed, the man performed a knight's salute. He did not ask about Orton's room, but hurried downstairs.

'I remember that there was no movement in the captain's room.' Noelle frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, and turned to look at the drizzle outside the window, thinking, 'Why don't you show up now to inquire about the news?'

Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought came to mind, the clouds outside seemed to know Noelle's thoughts. The light rain that was about to stop began to become heavier again.

"Oh, why is it so rainy in this ghost place on the Eastern Front?" Nita finally failed to fall asleep.

After listening to Apu talking about the brave men yesterday, Noelle felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart and whispered: "I don't know what they do to count the number of adventurers."

"Didn't I tell you clearly, little Noelle," Nita poured herself a glass of water, "I will use money and so-called glory to let you die on the battlefield."

After saying that, Nita looked at Noelle again, and suddenly smiled and said: "But little Noelle is going to go to the battlefield. It's hard to say who will die."

"Stop joking." Noelle opened the book again.

After a while, Noelle, who was still reading, moved her ears, and she vaguely heard the sound of rain outside the hotel.

"Sir, this is it. The person you are looking for lives in this hotel."

Thanks to: ‘Nine-tailed Yanhu’ and ‘King of Bronze and Yin’ for their rewards!
