"Rustling......" Suddenly a small sound sounded in the quiet wilderness, and it was fleeting.

"What is it?" Outside the west gate of the Free City, a new man in charge of guarding suddenly held down his weapon.

"Hey, boy, look at your startled look. The smell of blood from the corpses of hundreds of ghouls last night hadn't dissipated yet, maybe it was a rat, or maybe some beautiful woman was hiding in the grass to pee, hehe!" the veteran said a vulgar joke.

"Recently...... It doesn't seem to be peaceful, huh?" the recruit tilted his ears, but unfortunately no more voices came, and muttered a word.

"Ha, when has this continent ever been peaceful? But speaking of which, the group of ghouls last night felt a little strange, crawling around with their swords as if they were not afraid of death. Damn, now that spring is over, it's not the season to estrus either......"

"Dumbfounded... Babbling. The veteran's small talk was interrupted, and the voices in the wilderness began to become clear and dense.

"Hiss~" The recruit and the veteran drew their weapons at the same time and leaned in front of them.

"Shall we go back and call someone to ring the alarm?" the recruit's fingers clenched and loosened, a little nervous.

"Ring a fart bell, and when the time comes, it's all the good dreams, and what do you say, at least see if there really is an enemy, and wait for me to get a torch." The veteran looked vigilant and pulled the recruit slowly back towards the parapet.

"Wow~" The veteran and the recruit stared at the same time, looking at the sharp arthropods that pierced the recruit's chest.

This moment happened so quickly that the enemy seemed to pounce on him from the darkness, and the attack was imminent.

The recruit, who was hit hard in an instant, as if he didn't feel his own wounds, subconsciously struck back with his sword, and the blade slashed at the, hard carapace, making a dull dull sound.

It wasn't until the arthropod jerked away and pulled out a bloody arrow that the enemy retreated back into the darkness that the recruits began to fall to the ground and twitch.

"Enemy attack! spider! enemy ...... Uh!" Relying on the sacrifice and short delay of the recruits, the veteran turned around and ran wildly into the city and shouted, but unfortunately he could not run back after all.

The night watchman on the watchtower turned sharply, and the alarm bell echoed over Liberty City again.

Massive, multi-legged figures spread out on the ground like a small pool, densely surging from the west gate towards the city.

"Half-body demon spider, the inner side of the multi-legged arthropod resembles a sicklefoot, sharp and penetrating. A hard carapace is attached to the surface of the body, and only second-order strength or higher can cause effective damage. He is good at crawling and moving quickly, and his flexibility is extremely good. ”

"Attack method, use the huge size to hit or pounce. Mouthparts bite, the bite force is terrifying, and it is highly poisonous. It sprays venom and is extremely corrosive. The webs are entangled, restricting the target's movement, and the silk is tough and sticky, with slightly corrosive properties. ”

The main characteristics of the monsters attacking tonight are being repeated and familiar among those who take part in the battle.

This enemy is evil and disgusting, and on the surface it appears to be a large spider, but in the middle of its back it grows an unknown body. The appearance of the body is slightly similar to that of a humanoid, and the body is surrounded by four slender limbs and arms covered with bristles.

There was no head and neck on the half of the body, only a huge bloodshot eyeball, which looked strange and hideous.

Thor silently shook off the dark green blood on his sword, his expression was a little solemn, Freedom City may have suffered a big loss tonight.

The enemy broke through the west gate and poured into the city, and the first to organize a defense was the patrols gathered in the streets. It's just that it suffered heavy losses as soon as it engaged, but fortunately, the follow-up main force came quickly and blocked the enemy's coming.

Hundreds of ferocious half-body demon spiders, this battle lasted until nearly noon the next day.

After repeatedly carpeting back and forth several times to make sure that there were no hiding enemies, it was finally announced that the incoming enemies had been completely eliminated.

Thor and Stante Diller's high-end combat forces were the ones who fought from beginning to end, and their own shiitake mushrooms were all temporarily rushed to prepare antidotes. Ygrit had already learned the recipe for a low-level antidote from Thor, and the other shiitake mushrooms had followed to help.

It's just that the effect of low-level antidotes is average.

Some of the toxicity that remains in the body can only be slowly eliminated through herbs and days of cultivation.

In terms of battle damage, hundreds of ordinary civilians died in this battle, and the Scarlet Cross lost nearly 200 people. This number may not seem like much according to the current population base of Liberty City, but it is not small, and the territory war with Hallovil has not lost so many people.

The only good news is that the magic team in the territory is doing well, the magic team of hundreds of people is scattered into several teams, taking advantage of the enemy's relative fear of flames, and has made a lot of contributions in the process of interception and battle, and in the end there are almost no casualties.

Condolences, commendations, morale boosts, and reassurance, but fortunately all those things have been thrown to the old Braun goblin.

Dragging his tired body home, changing out of his bloody and filthy clothes, Thor went to the bathroom alone to wash up.

When I finished cleaning up, I found that the mushrooms that stayed up late had all rested, and even Anduo and Fenki had made a lot of efforts last night.

It felt as if he had been fighting since last night, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner again, Thor also extinguished his intention to rest, and went to the kitchen to silently prepare food for the mushrooms.

When she was almost ready, she turned her head and saw Chletty who had been touched by the scent, and Thor fed her a piece of roast meat, and then took Chletty around in her arms.

"Tired all night and didn't go to rest?"

"I didn't sleep, come and drink some water, I'm helping Sister Beth, aren't you going to take a look?"

Thor smiled slightly, and was led by Cletti to Beth's room.

Although he sat and watched, Thor had never known anything about magic. However, looking at the hideous old wounds on Beth's face, slowly recovering their white skin and tenderness under Cleti's treatment, still made Thor feel as if he had seen a miracle.

From the beginning to the end, the layman Thor only raised a question about why the healing magic light was white instead of green, and was grabbed and despised by Chretty for a long time, and threatened that there had never been a green holy light in this world.

"Thank you, sister!" Beth stroked her face in surprise as the treatment was almost over, and then hugged Claire tightly.

"You're welcome, Sister Beth, that's all I can do, but unfortunately I'm often disliked by someone. At the end of a sisterhood, Cletti clasped her hands in dismay, looking at Thor, who had been watching stupidly.

"What are you looking at?" Chletty wrinkled at Thor.

"Look at my little blonde beauty, and besides, you're sweating. Thor replied with a smile.

I...... Sweating?Clayty blushed violently, she kept her concentration and used a lot of mana, what's so strange about sweating?

"Go wash up, dinner is coming soon. Thor ignored Chletty and sat on the edge of the bed staring at the shy Beth. Chletty looked back as she walked, vaguely feeling as if something was wrong, but she couldn't think about it.

When Chretty entered the bathroom humming a brisk song, Thor silently followed in.

"Get out of here. No, how did you get in? I locked the door!" Chletty held the bath towel in front of her, and the dangers of facing the Great Demon King alone began to swirl in her mind again, making her subconsciously retreat into the corner.

"You must be mistaken, the door is not locked at all. You healed Beth, ha, little beauty has worked hard, I'm here to pay you. Thor tossed the lock-picking tool into the corner with his hands behind his back, and began to undress himself as he spoke.

"What...... I don't need any pay, get out of here. Chryty was stunned and suddenly reacted.

"That's not good, I'm never bad as a person, and I'm too bad for your favor, so I can only repay it in person with the body of a demon king. "Thor, with the same grudge as I always looked, expertly ripped off the Night Elf's bath towel and covered her moving body.

Although he has washed it once before, what does it matter, isn't life just about washing and washing all day long?

No one knows how Creti Shiitake was persecuted by the Great Demon King of Thor in this remote bathroom.

At the dining table, their own shiitake mushrooms looked a little drowsy, obviously not much experience in staying up late.

After taking care of them for dinner, Thor told them to hurry to rest and left the Lord's Mansion himself.

"Are you going to crusade against me again?" Thor turned his head to look at Petty, who was chasing out the door and holding his arm, smirking.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm stopping by to see my father, aren't you going to a meeting?" Petty immediately grimaced.

Look at your father, what's so nice about that old goblin? And you're really ...... It's too much of a ride.

Thor didn't break her either, and the two of them stuck together and walked towards the new official town hall in Liberty City.

The atmosphere in the conference room at the town hall was a bit dreary, and by the time Thor and Petty arrived, they were almost full. Stant, Diller, and Len Shaun, almost all the large, medium, and small captains in the territory who have their own combat power and have a little power in their hands are almost there.

The old goblin sat in a high-backed chair behind the round table and waved his hand to signal the meeting to begin.

The room was supposed to have a long table, as it would allow the main seat to be distinguished at the end of the long table, but Thor told him that the round table represented freedom and equality. The old goblin gladly accepted, and this was the scene where everyone was sitting around.

The theme of the meeting was nothing more than the recent two consecutive nights of enemy attacks, first of all, the work arrangements and reports on all aspects of the battle damage.

Thor has nothing to participate in this regard, just be a listener in silence.

The next topic is relatively important, but it is actually a bit vague.

The enemies are from the Dark Wilderness, the ghouls of the day before yesterday are from the southeast of the territory, and yesterday's halfling spider is from the west, perhaps crawling out of the swamp to the west. Beyond that, there is no more reliable information.

It is not known where the enemy is coming from, whether it is a forest or a cave. I don't know if the successive attacks are a coincidence, or if someone is behind the organization of a series against Liberty City. I don't even know who the person behind it is, if any.

"I think let's shrink our defenses first, strengthen the parapet, and move towards the city's dedicated walls. ”

"In addition, Diller's side will gather the information from the surrounding territories and even farther on the continent in the past two days as soon as possible to see if this is the case for the entire continent, or if it is just an isolated phenomenon here in our Free City. ”

When the old Braun goblin looked at Thor with an uncertain gaze, Thor casually made two suggestions.

Before everyone could respond to Saul's speech, the bell... Clang... Clang... The bell, the short alarm bell, began to echo in the territory again.
