Belzegu, the land of the Far East.

This is an area that humans can't explore, in the extreme east, within a range of thousands of kilometers, hundreds of thousands of monsters are hidden.

Due to the extreme east's proximity to the borders of the country of Bezegu, there are often instances of monsters slaughtering humans.

Thirty years ago, an 800-mile defensive system stretched between Berzegu and the Far East, where the Bezegu king Ligus committed more than a million troops.

With this defense, civilians on the border finally have a glimmer of security, but only a slight.

The birth of the Demon King Barnier has once again ignited the flames of war between the two races.

In the past thirty years, hundreds of wars have broken out between the human race and the demon race, each with casualties.

It wasn't until ten years ago that the Demon King Barnier took the initiative to submit a peace agreement to the Terrans.

The Far East, the Demon King City

Demon King City is located in the center of the extreme east, like a sharp blade towering on the ground, with a height of about several kilometers, and the architectural design resembles a castle in ancient Europe.

On this day, a strange thing happened, the top of the building tower of the Demon King City was cut off by a light blade, killing several small monsters.

The Demon King Barnier was furious and ordered the wizard to use dark magic to find the releaser of the Lightblade to see who had the audacity to attack him.

As a result, the wizard only said four words, Axel, and was dragged into the abyss by the darkness, because this message was as important as the oracle.

The sorcerer violated the taboo of darkness and had his soul taken.

The Demon Lord Barnier sent Beldia, one of the five generals, the Headless Horseman, to Axel in search of the Lightblade's spellcaster.

"Human woman, you said so much, do you want to hand over this person?"

"My lord, what I'm saying is the truth" Facing the five generals of the Demon King, even if the strength is not at the same level, Luna is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Ahhh

"This knight gives you seven days, and after seven days, if you don't hand over the murderer, then this knight will not show mercy and slaughter the entire town of Axel"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Headless Horseman disappeared from everyone's face.

"This headless horseman is a little cute, haha~"

"Demon King: It's really a shame for this demon king, no, it's a shame"

"Seriously, he looks like this, he doesn't have to be afraid at all, okay, there's no deterrent at all"

"Upstairs, do you think the Great Sword in the Headless Horseman's hand is plastic? Don't look at the surface of everything"

"Hehe, it's normal, the appearance association, as long as it's cute enough, even if it's an ogre, this group of dead houses will like to die and come back to life"

"Hey, I'm not convinced as a dead house!! I'm not like that."

"Cut, who knows←_←"

Although the Headless Horseman is gone, the seven-day deadline is like a heavy stone pressing on the hearts of all adventurers, blue thin shiitake mushrooms.

"Miss Luna, we must ask for reinforcements from the main city, the Headless Horseman is too strong, we are no match at all"

"yes, yes, that momentum is about to scare me to death, let alone pick up arms"

"Woooooooooo

"Now in this situation, we have to leave Axel"

"Hey, there's no way, the Headless Horseman is not something we can fight against"

"Be quiet and listen to what Luna has to say"

For a moment, more than a hundred eyes looked at Luna, getting her answer.

Although Luna is the proprietress of the Mission Tavern, she is not an adventurer at all, and the Headless Horseman has put a lot of pressure on her, and now she has to ask the main city for support again.

"Everyone, let's wait for the reply from the main city first, although the headless horseman is strong, with the support of the main city, it may not be impossible to fight"

"Okay, just listen to Miss Luna, anyway, there are still seven days, no hurry"

"Haha, you're not convincing, brother."

“……………………”

Back at the Mission Tavern, Luna reports the news to the main city as soon as possible.

It wasn't until the next day that the main city replied: try not to go to war with the Headless Horseman.

Luna froze in place as she watched the answer from the main city, filled with mixed feelings and disappointment at the compromise made by the main city.

The people of the demon clan have already bullied the family, and the family has chosen to ignore the compromise.

Perhaps, in the eyes of His Majesty the King, this Axel is just a small town, and it is not worth offending the demons at all.

Late at night, Luna tears up in her home and prints an evacuation notice.

The next day, at the gates of the city, the mission tavern, and the center of the town posted a notice to retreat.

At noon, the mission tavern was packed with people, both adventurers and ordinary civilians of the town.

There's also the mayor of Axel, an old man with a very exaggerated beard.

"Miss Luna, is the announcement real? Did the demons really fight? A civilian asked, horrified.

………………

"Miss Luna, will the main city send support?" An adventurer asked anxiously.

………………

"Everyone, be quiet," Luna gestured with her hand open to calm down.

"Yesterday I reported this situation to the main city, and the main city has already answered"

"How? When will reinforcements be sent to defeat the Headless Horsemann? ”

"This is still to say, it will definitely be there soon, this demon general really has no master in our human race?"

"The sooner the better, I can't help but want to charge"

"Cut, just you rookie, still charge, don't be scared to pee your pants"

"I'm not a rookie, look, I'm already level nine"

Looking at the adventurers who were in high spirits to defeat the Headless Horseman, Luna suddenly didn't want to tell the news of the main city, for fear of hitting them.

"Okay, well, the crusade against the Headless Horseman has been successful, old man, I will pay you to set up a big feast here!!" The bearded old man happily clubbed his crutches.

"Is it true? Old man of the town, "Some adventurers joked.

The bearded old man's beard was about to fly when he heard the words, and he said loudly: "You boys, when will I stop talking old man?" You have guarded the town, and you have returned from the crusade, and you will definitely have enough wine and food, not enough for me, the mayor of the town, to sit for you."

"Haha, then thank you Mayor Mayor"

"Long live the old man!!"

"I can save a lot of money now"

"By the way, Miss Luna, when will the support from the main city arrive, so we can prepare"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Luna.

Luna's face was gray, and she gritted her teeth and bent down to everyone, and said sadly, "I'm sorry"

These three words suddenly pulled the people who were originally in high mood into a trough.

"Hiss~...... Isn't it possible that the main city has no support? A young adventurer exclaimed.

"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about, how could the main city leave the town of Axel behind? , believe it or not, I'm going to beat you to death? A muscular man grabbed the young adventurer by the collar.

"What he said was true"
