The next day, the Earldom of Meredith issued a mobilization order, and the infantry and cavalry went out of the city to fight in battalions, and at the same time, all the cities and villages in the territory were lifted, and there were no restrictions on entry and exit.

The Blood Knight Tavern once again posted a demon hunting leaderboard, Lei Ye made a bloody investment this time, and the reward for hunting demons was doubled, and the rewards for the top three demon hunters were no longer ale, but became enchanted weapons.

Mercenaries and adventurers throughout the territory were boiling, and even powerful farmers joined in the hunt for demons.

Cavalry and infantry don't have to roam the mountains in search of demons, because there are griffon knights of the Secret Service in the sky to show them the way

"The third battalion of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, a small group of demons was found in the direction of ten o'clock, the number was about three hundred, and they were annihilated as soon as possible. "The second battalion of the Fourth Infantry Regiment, at seven o'clock, found a small group of demons, fleeing to the south, the number of about two hundred, as soon as possible. ”

The griffin knights use a megaphone to convey orders, but it is often not the regular army that reacts and acts first, but the countless adventurers and mercenaries, as well as the farmers with hoes and shovels.

The vigorous Countdom of Meredith was launched.

At the same time, ten kilometers southeast of Meredith, the domain of Baron Douglas.

The young Baron Douglas was pacing back and forth in the castle's study, his face extremely frightened and uneasy: "The devil has come to my territory, damn Count Heidi, why did she order someone to defend the wilderness. ”

The baron's face was sometimes frightened, sometimes hideous, like a clown who could change his face: "The demon is coming, what should we do, even the Count Meredith has to fight the demon in the face of the devil, how should we fight the demon." ”

The heads and faces of his men were all huddled in this small study at this time, watching him wander back and forth, talking vague nonsense.

"I should do something now, although the city walls can't stop those monsters, adventurers, mercenaries, and farmers are good cannon fodder, and they should be able to greatly consume the number of demons. ”

"And my castle is so strong, if it is heavily guarded, it should not be able to stop those terrifying demons, yes, shrink the defense line, strong walls and clear the wilderness, so that the demons can be kept out. ”

Listening to Baron Douglas's nonsense, a bad premonition suddenly rose in everyone's hearts.

A tall knight couldn't help frowning when he heard the other party say words such as cannon fodder, castle, shrinking defense line, and strong wall clearing, these words are not very good in series, so he called out to the other party: "Lord Baron." ”

Baron Douglas was stopped, looked at his most trusted subordinate with some confusion, and asked, "Mr. Felix, did you tell me something?"

The knight nodded, and said in a serious tone: "Lord Baron, as far as I know, Viscount Colin's territory has fallen, and we should now prepare for it as soon as possible, so as not to end up in the same fate." ”

Then he added with some unease: "You are a member of the Anti-Demon Alliance, you should do your part, and if you are not defeated, you should send a distress message in advance." ”

Although there were some things that should not be said, in order not to let Baron Douglas go astray, the knight solemnly reminded: "It is a shame for the nobles that Viscount Colin abandoned the city and fled, and now all the nobles in the covenant have launched a hunt for him. ”

Douglas nodded thoughtfully, then smiled: "I know what you mean, please rest assured, I will definitely not run away." ”

He said in a slightly magnetic voice: "I'm just thinking about how to ensure the safety of the territory, you should know that the regular army of our territory is less than eight hundred, and the adventurers and young men can only make up more than three thousand. ”

The knight nodded, affirming the other man's statement.

Seeing this, Baron Douglas said again: "But how long are our walls? five or six kilometers!"

He pretended to sigh helplessly: "With these eight hundred regular troops and three thousand peasants, it is impossible to defend such a long city wall. ”

The knight frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Douglas's expression suddenly became solemn: "Let all the regular soldiers and their families come to the castle, and the city will be left to the adventurers and farmers to defend." ”

The knight's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in a stern tone, "Lord Baron, are you doing this to give up your people?"

Baron Douglas was unmoved: "Why, Mr. Felix, do you think this decision is bad?"

He narrowed his eyes, "Do you want me to be torn apart by the blade of the devil like those damned pariahs?"

The knight felt uncomfortable being forced to look at him like this, but after all, he was an old man who had served two generations of lords, and he had something to say: "I would rather die on the battlefield than live like a coward." ”

Baron Douglas gave an undeniable expression: "If I order you to stay here, don't forget that you once swore allegiance to my family. ”

The knight took a deep breath and sneered, "I'm very sorry, you should have misremembered. ”

The knight looked at the family crest on the wall and said, "I only said that I was loyal to your grandfather, Baron Georges, whose courage, strength, and will I admired, and your father, though not brave, impressed me with his kindness. ”

Saying this, he actually looked at Baron Douglas contemptuously: "And you, cowardly, incompetent, and arrogant, are not worthy of my allegiance at all." ”

With that, the knight turned and left.

Looking at the other party's back, Baron Douglas roared angrily: "You stop! You swore to protect me before my father died!

Felix is the only warrior in the territory who has reached the legendary realm, and it is the guarantee of his survival in the demonic disaster, and now the other party wants to abandon him, how can this be done?

Baron Douglas sneered in extremely vicious terms: "I have given up my people, and how good are you Felix, to find a reason to run away like a rabbit when you see the demon coming?"

When the knight heard this, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and then he glanced at him coldly, and said, "Don't worry, Baron Douglas, I will still follow my original oath, and I will fight on the city wall until the last moment of my life." ”

After saying that, the knight didn't stop any longer, and left the rancid room directly.

Baron Douglas's expression was gloomy as if he could squeeze out water, and he cursed in a very vicious and harsh voice: "Hurry up and die!

When the people around heard this, they all showed disappointment.

It is a pity that the knight Felix, who has been loyal to the Childe family for two generations, has only received two vicious curses.
