When Duke walked up to the battlements to meet Lenia's strange and curious gaze, his heart was broken.

He obviously underestimated the medicinal properties and power of the Bone Cleansing Pill, as well as the weakness of his own body.

From the moment he ingested the elixir, he began a two-day dormitory-toilet cycle.

Since the corridors between the two were occasionally patrolled by guards, it was inevitable that he would have to meet them face-to-face, even several times a day.

So for two days, the guards on duty could see their lord running around with his face pale and his stomach clutched, sometimes emitting an unbearable stench.

This was spread by the guards on duty beforehand, and finally fermented in the barracks, and by the time it reached the three ministers, it had become a lord who had been invaded by demons, and his body began to rot and smell, constantly roaming around the castle with a foul smell, and gradually began to crawl on all fours.

This sensational news made the three ministers a little nervous, because this wave of demonic beasts was also caused by unknown pollution, and now their lords have begun to make various actions of unknown significance.

All of this gave them reason to believe that the lord might have been invaded by demons.

So the last three ministers decided to let the old and steady Minister of the Interior, Vlavic, visit the lord as a representative.

Fortunately, by the time Vlavic came, the medicinal power of the marrow washing pill had basically dissipated, otherwise Duke would have to perform a scene of covering his stomach and jumping and the stench exploding on the spot, and then be burned at the stake by his terrified subjects for purification and ascension.

But in the end, when he sent Vlavic, who was not very reassured, out of the castle, he could still feel the awe-inspiring and curious gaze of the guards around him.

Therefore, he clearly knew that his reputation for two lifetimes was probably really ruined.

"Greetings, Your Excellency. Lenia withdrew her gaze and gave a knightly salute.

"Hello, Lenia. Duke nodded, and stood with her on the battlements overlooking the entire line of defense.

I saw more than 200 soldiers standing sparsely on the wall of about 800 meters long, barely wearing full armor, and occasionally I didn't see soldiers who lacked helmets or shoulder pads, but they were much better than they had seen in the school place before.

Other soldiers who did not have armor or weapons were accompanied by some of the young men who had been requisitioned to transport arrows, rolling stones, and other garrison supplies.

Fortunately, the wall facing the Dark Fortress of the Northern Fortress has a natural mountain range as a barrier, so that the overall wall is not so lengthy, and more than 200 soldiers can barely construct a thin line of defense.

Today's chief knight was wearing the iron-black armor he used to wear, his long supple pale blonde hair still naturally draped, and his beautiful eyebrows were slightly twisted together.

She stood on the city wall with her helmet in her right hand and looked in the direction of the Dark Mountains, waiting for the arrival of the black beast tide, and on her left waist hung a slender sword that could feel the aura of powerful magic.

"Actually, you don't have to be on the front line, my lord. Sensing Duke's gaze, Lenia stopped looking and turned to Duke.

"I will be in charge of directing this battle, it is my duty as a knight, and it is also the responsibility of the Gard family as the guardian family of the Flewoffs. ”

She pressed her sword in her left hand, stared at Duke's eyes, and said seriously, "Joseph has prepared a carriage at the south gate, and if something misfortune happens, I will definitely buy the lord until the last time." ”

Duke was stunned for a moment, then smiled and moved a little at the seriousness of the chief knight.

If you hadn't gotten the magic scroll and the task assigned by the system three days ago, you might have considered this suggestion and saved your life.

But now that he has a great reliance, it is completely true to the beast tide, and this arrangement is unnecessary.

"What about Vlavic? Why didn't I see him. Instead of answering Lenya's question, Duke asked about the Home Secretary's whereabouts.

"Mr. Vlavich has been organizing the evacuation of the population for the past two days, but to no avail. At this, Lenia's face darkened.

The serfs and untouchables who were tied to death by the land were nothing more than the private property of the big landowners. Even if they were allowed to run freely, the loss of their land would be tantamount to a death sentence.

So in their minds, it doesn't matter if they leave or not, it's better to stay, and save some food in case of victory.

Duke shook his head, now is not the time to solve these problems, which is also a common phenomenon in this era.

He could only comfort the chief knight and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry, I went to the secret treasure house of the Dukes of the Northern Realm a few days ago and found something." ”

Duke paused, he also stared at Lenia's eyes and said seriously: "Beast tide, vulnerable. ”

This time it was Lenia's turn to be stunned.

Sure enough, is it true that the lord is crazy?

Lenia secretly thought about how the Duke of the North still had any secret treasury, as a retainer of the Duke of the North, she clearly knew that the last property of the Duke of the Treasury's treasury was the five thousand gold coins, and it was basically scheduled to be spent.

She had secretly decided to wait and see that the situation was not right, so she forcibly let a few soldiers hold the lord and rush to the south gate, while she stayed to buy time and fulfill the responsibility of defending the land for the lord.

Duke didn't know the time at this time, but the thinking of this girl in front of him had turned a thousand times, and he had been killed again.

On the contrary, he looked into the distance with a leisurely feeling, and some were eager to try, ready to take out his magic scroll and kill all directions, showing his prestige as a lord.

Woo-woo-woo-

Suddenly, a rapid trumpet sound came from the tall watchtower behind the walls, indicating that the beast tide was already in the sentinel's field of vision.

Duke added a simple level 2 spell to himself, Eagle Eye, and immediately saw a black line that fluctuated at the horizon, and as time went on, the black line became thicker and thicker, until the hideous outlines of those monsters could be seen.

"All note, unrelated personnel remove the walls. Lenia had put on her helmet, raised her sword in the air, and gave a loud command.

Duke was also about to take out the magic scroll that he had hidden in his pocket in advance, and took a few steps forward, wanting to appear in everyone's field of vision to use this earth-destroying spell.

"Lord, please stand behind me. Lenia caught a glimpse of Duke's movements, grabbed it with her left hand, and slipped Duke directly behind her.

"Eh, eh, no, hey!"

Duke only had time to let out a few meaningless shouts before he was picked up.
