After Rod saw the only remaining fire.

The screams were incessant, and several villagers were lying on the road along the way, all of them with holes drilled in their bodies.

These ironclad ants are very picky eaters and only like the location of the liver, and other endemic diseases do not like to eat.

Just a hundred meters in front of you.

A group of villagers with shovels, hoes, and short swords protected the old and young women and children in the middle, resisting the attack of the ironclad ants, but from time to time they would be bitten on their bodies and pull off a piece of flesh.

"Why haven't the guards arrived yet?"

"This incompetent city lord, the coward Rod, can't protect us every year, it's better to die, change the new city lord, it must be better than him." A bloodied villager shouted.

I heard someone scolding themselves.

Rod was stunned for a moment, they were indeed right, he was indeed a coward.

But that was before.

Now he won't.

"Do it." Rod shouted.

Rhodes and Little Flame launched an attack on the group of iron armor besieging the villagers, and in an instant, two fireball spells flew away with a violent burning sound.

The glow of the fireball exploding.

Illuminating the scene within a radius of 100 meters, Rhodes and his party also entered the field of vision of the villagers and ironclad ants.

As if sensing a threat, the ironclad ants all stared at Rhodes' side and made a clattering sound.

When the villagers saw the people, especially when they saw the fireball technique just now, most of them shed tears of excitement.

"The Seven Gods have not abandoned us."

"Neverwinter hasn't abandoned us."

"They saved us."

......

With the damage of the fireball technique, it is difficult to kill these iron armor ants, but Rhodes only wants to burn the wings of these iron armor ants as soon as possible.

Just let them crawl on the ground.

No matter how large the number is, the threat is not very great.

After shooting two fireballs.

The small flame rose into the air and took a sharp breath of air, expanding its entire body to five times its original size.

A large fireball shot towards the swarm.

At the moment when Xiao Flame made a move, Liana was not to be outdone, took out a dagger tied with transparent silk thread, and rushed directly into the ant colony.

Liana, a level 25 transformer, is a group of fierce fighters, and wherever she passes, the ironclad ants are like being pinned by an invisible substance, and then their heads and bodies are separated.

Since she entered the battlefield, Rhodes, who was full of enthusiasm and wanted to be handsome, found that he had just aimed at a target, and the monster was robbed in the blink of an eye.

Sometimes, his subordinates are too powerful, and he really has enough headaches, and Rod, who is completely useless, stands and watches Liana perform.

Less than five minutes.

The more than 30 ironclad ants in the audience were all solved by Liana, and Lu Hai didn't have any experience.

The battle was soon over.

However, this is not something to celebrate, as a total of nine people were killed in the attack, all of them young and strong men.

There was a little girl lying on top of two corpses, crying heartbreakingly.

An old man knelt on the ground in frustration, his eyes glazed over, and he kept blaming himself: "I shouldn't be greedy for that little food, why should I be so greedy." ”

Some of the villagers took some roasted sweet potatoes and a bag of money, and stepped forward to thank Rhodes, "Master Wizard, this is our thank you fee. ”

Rod took the sweet potato.

There was no money bag, and for the surviving villagers, the next test was still very big, and they had to survive in the basement for two months.

"Thank you, Wizard." The villagers were grateful.

"No thanks, the city lord sent me to support you." Rhodes back.

"Sent by the cowardly city lord?"

The villagers were so surprised that they blurted out, and after realizing that they had said the wrong thing, their faces were very embarrassed, and they hurriedly changed their words: "The city lord sent you?" ”

Rod, whose forehead was full of black lines, nodded, sighed, took out a number plate from his pocket, handed it to the villager, and said, "This number is compensated by the city lord." ”

After seeing that number plate.

The villagers froze.

"Vault 03, Area A."

This number is almost one of the best shelters in Neverwinter, with not only cubicles, but also a separate excretion system, and even hot baths.

In previous years, the shelters in Area A would be reserved for those villages that paid more taxes, but I didn't think that this year the city lord would give them directly.

"Thank you, Wizard."

"Thank you, Lord Castle."

The villagers kept thanking.

But Rod really couldn't be happy, and the little girl who cried hoarse in her voice made him feel very guilty.

If you are a little stronger.

With the strength of their ancestors, then the inhabitants of the northern territory will no longer have to suffer from the invasion of demonic beasts, nor will they have to leave their homes and live in the basement when the night of the witch comes.

Rhodes squatted down, touched the little girl's head, and took out a handkerchief, wiping her face with snot and tears.

Once upon a time, Rhodes was just like this little girl.

In a blink of an eye, the parents said that it was gone.

But life has to go on.

Facing her, Rhodes couldn't even say words to comfort her, so he could only take out a pocket watch from his arms, stuff it to her secretly, and said: "When you get to the city, give this pregnancy to the Avia Chamber of Commerce, and they will take care of you." ”

The little girl held the pocket watch tightly in her hand, as if she was holding a life-saving straw, but she had no idea that this pocket watch would change her ordinary voice.

After the villagers sorted out the supplies.

Continue towards Neverwinter, the Witch's Night has arrived, and it's still very dangerous outside.

Rod had intended to escort them back.

At this moment, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a column of guards arrived here, led by Captain Gray.

"Ugh."

It is estimated that the captain of the guard also reported his departure from the city to Captain Gray, otherwise he would not have left the city wall at such a critical time.

After seeing Rod, Gray's face was very surprised, the captain of the guard really didn't lie, and the city lord really ran out.

When Yu Guang glanced at the woman in red behind the city lord, Gray's face changed in shock, and he immediately pulled out his big sword and aimed it at the witch.

Wasn't she sent to the "last room" called it?

Why are you still here?

It can't be that the city lord has been hijacked.

But looking at Rod's expression, it seemed to be very relaxed, and the witch felt a little wrong, and for a while, Gray couldn't speak.

It seemed like overnight.

From a girl to a woman, she is more beautiful, and her lower body looks rounded, which is the type he likes.

Just as Gray drew his knife, Rhodes reached out to stop him: "Don't be nervous, she's with us now." ”

"Really." Gray will be skeptical.

Rod nodded.

Gray walked straight over, took Liana's hand, kissed it on the back of her hand, and said, "Beautiful Miss Liana, I was offended a lot last time, and I will introduce myself again, my name is Gray, and I am the leader of the Neverwinter City Guard, and the most solid shield of the city lord. ”

Rod's face darkened.

I really want to lift Liana's skirt on the spot, so that this little teddy in Neverwinter will not be able to stand up for the rest of his life.

"Send these villagers to the city safely." Rhodes said.

"What about you, Lord of the City?" Gray asked.

"I still have things to do."

"I'll protect you too."

Rod shook his head: "It's enough to have Liana, you guard the city wall is the most important thing, don't let those bugs fly into the city, otherwise I will deduct your salary this month." ”

Gray was stunned.

The city lord in front of him seems to be a little different, last year's Witch Night, he even had to go to the toilet, someone had to help him guard the door.

What's going on this year?

Gray seems to have found a bit of an old city lord feeling in him.
