Seeing the frantic shouting up and down the city wall, the long sword held high drew a semicircular arc of light in the air and disappeared in my hand. I turned around silently and left.

Perhaps, my decision this time was not wrong. Although I will lose more precious soldiers because of it,...

Feeling the soaring determination and fighting spirit behind me, I raised my head slightly and squinted my eyes to look at the bright sun half-peeping from the dark clouds.

However, as someone who has experienced it, I know very well that if you want to break through the level of the pseudo-realm, you must have this strong obsession as a catalyst. Although more sacrifices will be made, the warriors who survive will break through and become masters of the pseudo-realm.

The probability will also be greatly increased.

Are you sacrificing yourself in exchange for potential? Could it be that this is also a subconscious reason for you to make a decision? It is almost the same as Akala and the others when monsters attacked the village eight years ago. Maybe I have been led astray by them.

Ollie noticed my departure, chased after me, and once again apologized for his willful behavior. Perhaps he knew better than any other adventurer present that every sacrifice of a warrior here was a huge loss to the alliance.

.

"The monster won't attack for a while, so take a good rest."

I patted Ollie's shoulder, and the feeling on my palm that was as hard as a stone made me feel how much weight this mage's shoulders bore for his decision this time.

"Then, survive."

With Ollie watching, I left these words and disappeared into the white light of the teleportation array.

Having said that, at the last moment, I still couldn't complete Aleus's Four-Character Mantra. The difficulty was a bit too high. Is it really because of [Aleus' exclusive cuteness skill]?

At the end of the hot-blooded comic, a certain complaining emperor still ignored the atmosphere magnificently and left his last resentment in the teleportation station of the Lost City.

"What an amazing man."

Ollie looked at the empty teleportation array, murmured, and then clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind.

Definitely - I will protect you.

Of course, he didn't know that the magical person he was talking about was already being interrogated by three people in the Mages Guild.

"Sir Elder, I originally hoped that you could persuade the soldiers of the Lost City to come back." Taba shook his head, looking like he hated him.

"I didn't expect you to be fooling around with them." Jiaen looked up to the sky and sighed.

"My poor sons, I don't know how many of them will come back." Mercenary Guild Leader Thackeray's eyes turned red.

"this……"

I explained a lot about it, including how it can increase the probability of breakthrough in the pseudo-realm, and also took it out.

"Even so, the sacrifice is too great. Elder, you should know better than us how precious the warriors of the second world are..."

The three old foxes looked at each other and continued their verbal bombardment.

"In short, because of your willful decision, Sir Elder, the adventurers of the Lost City are entrusted to you."

Seeing someone dizzy under the bombing, the three old foxes felt that the heat was almost over, so they finally waggled their tails and announced an ultimatum.

"..."

These bastards, after all, they just want to squeeze my labor force!!

"However, Sir Elder, you came back at the right time."

After achieving their goal, these three cunning old guys did not intend to give me any time to think. They looked solemn, as if they had just decided on a matter and moved on to the next topic. Their serious faces were deliberately serious.

He clearly wanted to control the atmosphere and rhythm and suppress my voice of resistance.

"I was just planning to send out a message to ask the four of you to come back."

"Oh, is there any new information here?"

Although I was very unhappy that these three old foxes had set a trap for me, I did have a part in the decision-making of the Lost City, and I planned to take on this responsibility. I complained a few times in my heart, and I just followed their lead.

I mean, get to the point.

The three old foxes shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"There is no new information. I am contacting you. On the one hand, I want to see what the four envoys have gained. On the other hand..."

With a heavy sigh, Thackeray, who was mainly responsible for combat planning, said with a sad face.

"Elder Fan, you also saw it in the Lost City. Those cunning monsters actually used wheel tactics. Most of the soldiers' physical strength can no longer keep up. Although the situation in other cities is better than the Lost City, if

If this situation continues..."

The numerical disadvantage is the biggest hidden danger in this battle. Even if it is commanded by Artoria, who has the attributes of a king, it is impossible to conjure warriors out of thin air to make up for this hidden danger. Therefore, if the monster uses the wheel tactic, we are indeed a little bit behind.

There is no way.

"You mean, let the four of us buy some time?" I tapped my index finger and asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, we didn't have high hopes at first, but after hearing that the elders had single-handedly driven back the monster army in the Lost City, we became even more sure that the powerful ones in the pseudo-domain are indeed extraordinary."

Tabas and others let out a sigh. They had never thought that in such a huge battle, a strong man could achieve such a level of strength. It seemed that they had underestimated the advantage of the leading soldiers.

"Please, Lord Elder, although I know this request is a bit ridiculous, but...even if it only takes half a day to rest, let's try to give those lovely warriors a little chance of survival."

Thackeray, who cared about his men the most, stood up, bowed deeply to me, and begged me, regardless of his own identity.

"Lord Thackeray, you don't have to be like this. After all, this is also one of our responsibilities."

I quickly stood up and helped him up, and found that the seven-foot-old man's eyes were red, and he was holding a ball of paper in his fist, which slowly turned into powder.

I just looked at this pitiful ball of paper. It's a casualty report for five cities.

"By the way, has the contact signal been sent out? I also have some information here and would like to discuss it with everyone."

"Oh, it seems that Junior Brother Wu gained the most from this trip."
