Nikolai had only a small group of militiamen around him. Peter and Pavra's magic skills were exhausted, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in their hearts as they looked at the rapidly approaching fires in the night sky.

At this moment, a strong magical shock suddenly occurred on the edge of the field, and a pillar of light rose from the ground, and four blurred figures emerged from it.

The light of the teleportation illuminates the night, drawing people back to watch. Catwoman had the best eyes, recognizing that one of the four teleported people was wearing the iconic robe of the Green Druid, shouted "Senior Sister" in surprise, and rushed into Tonya's arms.

"Bafura, I've worked hard for you for the past six months." Tonya stroked her little sister's cat ears and smiled with pity.

They were also teleported by Roland, Lyudmila, and Malik. Roland received a distress message from Malik on the train with a "magic intercom", and saw the black smoke from the revival and eruption of the Balle volcano with his own eyes, guessing that the situation in Valley Village was urgent, and before the train arrived, he pulled Lyudmila and Tonya directly to the village office.

The trio met Malik at the village office, and learned that a large swarm of firebat had emerged from the depths of the volcano, posing a great threat to the village and the unharvested farmland.

At this time, Peter and Nikolai also recognized Roland, and hurriedly led the villagers to meet His Royal Highness the Prince.

Roland waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, his eyes swept over the tired faces of the people, and walked straight to the militiamen who still insisted on guarding the line with obvious burn marks, and waved his hand to release the "group healing technique" to heal their wounds.

"Folks, I see the sweat and sacrifices you have made to defend the countryside, which makes me very moved, but this battle against the monsters is not only your responsibility, aside from all titles and halos, I, Lyudmila and Tonya are first and foremost civil servants of the government, since we run a state-owned farm, and since the government holds fifty percent of the shares in the farm, we are obliged to fight side by side with you - not only to protect the homeland of the valley village, but also to defend our common national property!" Roland's calm and loud voice echoed in the night sky, with a solemn expression, "I come to you at this moment with a promise: no matter where our compatriots are at the ends of the earth or the cape, no matter what difficulties they face, a responsible government will never stand idly by and watch the suffering of its people!" ”

Tsunami-like cheers echoed through the night, and the people of the valley village couldn't help but burst into tears. Most of them never dreamed that His Royal Highness would come to them at a critical juncture, and they were even more shocked that Roland did not see his arrival as a gift or salvation, but frankly said that it was the government's duty to the people.

Who has ever seen His Royal Highness the Crown and Leader of the State Religion make such a reciprocal promise to the common people at a time when the majority of the people still unconditionally revere the monarchy and theocracy? Roland's original intention was to tell people not to regard his arrival as a "royal grace" or a savioric heroic act, which was only his duty as the majority shareholder of Valle Village, but his frankness won more affection, as evidenced by the constant cheers.

Lyudmila took out a small mirror from the storage bag with the constant "Saria's photographic technique", and pretended to be in the mirror to record the scene in front of her. With the advantage of her height, she was framed from a perfect angle, and His Royal Highness the Prince's posture was magnificently set off by the night and firelight, and the villagers' heartfelt reverence was fully expressed through their demeanor and body language.

Lyudmila admired the picture she had taken, and when she was distracted, Tonya quietly walked over, put her toes to peek at the picture in the mirror, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's a good shot, go back and send it to the newspaper association for submission, it will definitely be reprinted by major newspapers and periodicals." ”

"Shhhhh Lyudmila put away the "mirror", first sneakily glanced at Roland, saw that she didn't pay attention to herself, turned her head and whispered to Tonya: "You can't let Roland know about this matter, you have to keep it secret for me!" ”

"Okay, but you're going to invite me to dinner when the picture comes out, by the way, do you want to add a press release to the picture?" Tonya asked.

"Just briefly tell me about the background of the incident in this picture, I'm not good at writing articles, you can write the text content, how about we get the manuscript fee in half?" Lyudmila conspires with her best friend.

"No problem!" Tonya is also a person who can't stand the temptation, and without thinking about betraying the privacy of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The two ladies made a secret deal and came to Roland's side as if nothing had happened.

"The fires above the swamp are getting denser and denser, and the total number of fire bats is probably more than a thousand," Lyudmila estimated and asked, "How can these monsters born from the fire elemental plane be concentrated in Valley Village?" ”

"It's mostly because of the extraordinary turmoil at Balle Volcano." Tonya looked at the crater on the other side of the swamp that was spewing glittering smoke and dust, her eyes gradually becoming solemn, "Many years ago, when I was assigned by Teacher Valgentina to guard Valle Village, before leaving, the teacher specially told me to pay attention to the movements of Balle Volcano and report to her immediately if anything abnormal happened. ”

"Why is Lady Valentina so concerned about that volcano?" Lyudmila asked curiously.

"The last time Balle Volcano erupted was more than fifty years ago, it's too long, and I don't know how much damage it caused, but I heard that the teacher had visited the volcano in person at that time, and found a plane rift connecting the fire elemental realm in the depths of the crater, and the teacher managed to seal the rift, but she was very worried that the seal would be destroyed by natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions or earthquakes, so I asked me to pay attention to it." Tonya slowly recalled, "I stayed in Valle Village for five years, during which time the Balle volcano was very calm, I thought the volcano was completely dormant, but now that I have woken up, I am afraid that it is not far from the eruption of magma again. ”

Roland frowned slightly: "If the plane seal leading to the Fire Elemental Realm is loosened due to the impact of the volcanic recovery, the origin of the large group of fire bats will be easy to explain, but the Fire Elemental Realm is by no means the only low-level monsters like fire bats, if you don't quickly try to repair the seal, I'm afraid there will be more tricky monsters running over to make trouble." ”

"Why don't I contact Teacher Valentina and ask her to solve this problem?" Tonya reached for the Communication Stone.

Roland groaned and shook his head slightly: "This little scene in front of us, there is no need to bother the legendary great druid, let's solve that group of fire bats first and then consider the follow-up countermeasures." ”
