"Run, run, run! Keep running! Don't stop! Elle, the lord of Grace City, shouted loudly to his people while directing the militia to block the attacks of the demons as much as possible.

Militiaman?

Yes, it's the militia, the militia at the bottom of the Terran arms, and the militia that is not qualified to go to the battlefield on weekdays!

"Array! Rush together! ”

With the shouts of the city lord of El, a white heroic aura burst out from his body, quickly enveloping all the militia.

At the same time, these militiamen, who held simple spears in both hands and did not even have a piece of leather armor on their bodies, also showed elite combat qualities, quickly turned around and lined up quite neatly on the left and right of the city lord of El, and then clenched the spears with both hands and poked them fiercely in front of them!

"Poof!"

The rudimentary spear easily pierced into the bodies of the Demon Baby, the Horned Demon, and the Cerberus, causing the monsters to let out a series of screams. And after these middle and low-level demons were killed, wounded and repulsed, the militia did not hesitate...... Then the Lord of El turned around and fled.

Even if these low-level monsters in front of them are only mid-to-low-level demon troops, they are definitely not something that these fragile militias can stop. The lord of El City, who knew this very well, did not let the militia fight desperately, but adopted this tactic of stabbing a spear and running, trying to exchange space for the time of the people to escape.

Looking at the militiamen around him who were "fleeing from the desert", the eyes of the city lord of El began to become a little dazed, as if he heard the ridicule of his peers in the past.

As the lord of a city, El certainly has the qualifications to obtain the certificate of hero. However, no one in Grace City knew what the heroic talents of the Lord of El were. Because the city lord of El has never shown his heroic aura in front of anyone, and even many people think that the city lord of El is just an incompetent nobleman who has not even been able to get the certificate of heroism.

But no one knows. The city lord of El, who was contemptuously called "Fat Pig" and "Fat El", was the first day of the former Wild Wolf Principality. The second son of the Grand Duke of Wild Wolf, who has titles such as "Rising Star" and "The Future of the Principality of Wolves", Elson Wolfe!

Elson, who has shown an extraordinary talent for fighting since he was a child, is still regarded by the nobles of the Wild Wolf Principality as the most qualified candidate to inherit the next Grand Duke of the Wild Wolf, even if he is not the eldest son. At the very least, the valiant Elson seemed far more fit to be the next Grand Duke of Wolves than his cowardly big brother.

But although the young Elson was not interested in the position of Grand Duke of the Wild Wolf, but the praise of his peers also made him quite enjoyable when he was still very young and vigorous, and the titles of the chief graduate of the aristocratic military academy and the strongest of the younger generation of the Wild Wolf Principality also brought Elson an extremely strong self-confidence, and he even began to plan to go to the Griffin Dynasty to challenge the peers who were called the strongest of the younger generation of the human race after challenging the heroic generals of the older generation of the Wild Wolf Principality.

However. All this came to naught on the day of Elson's coming-of-age ceremony.

Fate, it's unfair.

Elson, who held a hero promotion ceremony and finally obtained his hero certificate, has a heroic talent, but it can be called the most rubbish talent among all the Terran hero talents...... Commander-in-chief of the militia.

A heroic talent dedicated to strengthening the militia at the bottom of the Terran class, and a heroic talent that is almost useless to Elson. As the second son of the noble Grand Duke of Wild Wolves, Elson could not have fought with just a group of militia. In the past, the worst he could command was a third-order archer in the middle rank.

Knocked down by the harsh reality, Elson fell unconscious on the spot. And when he woke up, he found that he had become a well-known laughing stock among the nobles of the Wolf Duchy.

"Elson the Hero of the Clay Legs", this is Elson's new nickname, and this new nickname quickly replaced all of Elson's previous titles. It became the unanimous opinion of all the nobles on Elson.

Elson didn't give up, and even if his heroic talent was useless, he believed that he could make up for the lack of heroic talent with his superb command ability.

However, the Wild Wolf Grand Duke gave up on him.

"You really think you're commanding. Is it the best among his peers? The Grand Duke of the Wild Wolf shook his head and said, "If you weren't my son, you wouldn't even rank in the top three among your peers!" Stop dreaming! You're a piece of shit! ”

Elson finally despaired.

As the son of the Grand Duke of the Wild Wolf. He was deprived of the right to form his own wolf cavalry. The past honors have become the clouds of the past, and Elson, who has lost everything, finally leaves his home gloomily. Leaving the capital of the Wolf Principality, he came to the border area that was regarded as a place of exile by the nobles of the Wolf Principality, and became a small city lord.

Since then, there is no longer the "son of the wolf" Elson in the world, and it is replaced by the lord of El in Grace City.

After the lord of El City indulged in wine and gradually became obese, the name of "Fat El" spread far and wide. And among the aristocrats, more people actually call him "Fat Pig El".

However, fate is fair.

That encounter with Gilles changed the life of the Lord of El City.

Gilles, who was loyal to the lord of El City, did not know that before he met him, although the lord of El had also been helping the people, it was only out of the consistent position of the nobles. For the nobles, the lords are "walking wealth", and the population of a territory is directly related to the strength of the lord.

Even if it didn't put much effort into government affairs, under the management of the lord of El City, Grace City was still gradually becoming the most prosperous city in the border region. The lord of Eyre, who had money in hand and had undergone the most formal aristocratic education, of course, understood what the lords meant to him, so he would occasionally give relief to the lords who had no source of livelihood. And the lord of El City, who has lost confidence in life, does not go back to exploit the people like other lords, which makes him a well-known "good city lord" in this border area.

The nobles naturally disdained this, but the city lord of El was the second son of the Wild Wolf Grand Duke after all. The surrounding lords were only verbally sarcastic at most. And the "ignorant" lords are grateful to the lord of El City.

The city lord of Eyre, who had more or less heard about it, didn't care about it. Until, he ran into Gilles.

Although he has fallen to the point where he needs to beg to survive. Gilles's eyes were still unusually stubborn, and those eyes reminded the city lord of El, who was no longer young.

Looking at the young and ragged Gilles, and then looking at the fat and well-dressed himself, the lord of the city of El found for the first time that he was in the midst of blessings and did not know the blessings!

Incompetent like him, waste materials like him, and with the identity of the son of the Grand Duke of the Wild Wolf, he can easily become a man in the eyes of the commoners, and the lord of a city that is beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.

And excellent ones like Giles obviously have extremely good talents. But he had to worry about his livelihood, and even had to beg to maintain his life and that of his mother.

Looking at the stubborn Gilles, the city lord of El, whose sideburns were already a little gray, fell silent, and he began to reflect on his past, trying to find a little bright spot in his life.

Then the city lord of El discovered that the greatest achievement in most of his life was to make this Grace City a prosperous place!

And this is just a matter of what he did casually.

Touched by the heart, the Lord of El received the young Gilles and his mother, and returned to his castle. After a night of thinking, the Lord of El made a decision.

He's going to protect the greatest achievement of most of his life!

And when he made up his mind, the threat of the demonic calamity that would eventually arrive weighed heavily on the shoulders of the city lord of El.

The city lord of El who began to work hard is still pretending to be the incompetent "fat pig El" on the surface. Because the city lord of Eyre, who was born in the wolf family, knows it very well. The nobles are a pack of jackals! The reason why he disdains Grace City is only because he is afraid of his status as the son of the Grand Duke of the Wild Wolf. Moreover, the previous city lords of El were not interested in expanding their territory, which made the surrounding lords ignore him intentionally or unintentionally.

The ears of the nobles are also very bright. In order to protect Grace City, on the surface, the Lord of El City is still the same. In private, however, he began to train himself.

Regaining the martial arts that had been lost for many years, the City Lord of El quickly regained the strength of his peak: a heavy knight at the peak of the twentieth level!

But the city lord of El soon found out a little helplessly. He had been immersed in wine for so many years that his body had been hollowed out. Although he reluctantly regained his previous strength, the road to the legendary realm had been blocked, and he was no longer young and did not have the confidence to break through this hurdle.

If you can't advance to the legendary, you won't be qualified to face those legendary-level demon heroes and generals.

The city lord of El began to turn around and raise elite troops, and if he could raise a strong enough force, it would be enough to keep Grace City in the midst of the disaster.

However, before the Lord of El City could cultivate this force, Grace City encountered the outpost battle of the Demon Calamity ten years ago.

The demon vanguard army that invaded the continent of Elia brought great pressure to Grace City, and the city lord of El even relied on him to be at the forefront of the battlefield to ensure that the morale of the soldiers did not collapse.

It was at this time that Gilles once again came to the city lord of El City.

After several commanders of the Knights were killed in battle, the young Gilles took over the banner of the Knights of Grace City, and led the remnants of the cavalry to launch a decisive charge against the demon troops besieging Grace City, and luckily killed the heroic generals of the Demon Clan, successfully relieving the crisis of Grace City!

The overjoyed Lord of El immediately made Gilles his knight, and then began to concentrate on cultivating Gilles.

However, to the disappointment of the Lord of El, Gilles, who was extremely talented in combat, did not have much political talent.

Whenever Gilles, who took over the power, complained to the lord of El that Grace City's income was tight and there was no more money to use to develop the champion knight force, the lord of El could only smile bitterly in his heart: the lord of El City had worked hard to run Grace City for many years, how could he not have enough funds to expand the champion knights.

However, in order to prevent Grace City from attracting the attention of other lords, the lord of El had to keep only the three hundred champion knights under Gilles' command on the surface. Secretly, he kept taking away the elite knights under the command of Gilles to form a stronger force.

In the trust of the lord of El City. Gilles did not object to the El Lord's constant draining of his elites, and the El Lord's intention was to prepare for the Devil's Plague to come. Gilles nodded in tacit agreement.

Even if he is a political novice, under the cultivation of the lord of El City for many years, Gilles has more or less understood the filthy relationship between some nobles, and naturally will not have any objections to the fact that El City is mainly secretly preparing an ace army.

The two have a tacit understanding, and there is naturally nothing wrong with each other.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Lord of El in Grace City is an incompetent person, and it has always been the Gilles Knight who has been conscientiously managing Grace City. But in the corner that outsiders can't see, the strength of Grace City is growing day after day.

It's a pity that although the city lord of El has long been prepared for the arrival of the demonic plague. He had been away from his hometown for many years, but he never thought that the demonic disaster would come in such a way!

Overnight, the Grand Duke of the Wild Wolf died! The gate of hell at the junction of the Griffin Dynasty and the Principality of Wolves was opened, and the demons who swarmed out of the gates of hell quickly swept the entire territory of the Principality of Wolves!

Before the city lord of El who learned of the accident of the wolf archduke through the secret method had no time to grieve for his father's death, the demon army came to Grace City through the teleportation array!

Grace City fell directly into chaos under the strong attack of the demon forces, while the strong troops carefully prepared by the El City Lord directly lost contact due to the siege of Grace City!

In order to hide from the people, the lord of El hid this trump card army on the outskirts of the city. In the eyes of the current El City Lord, this is undoubtedly a huge failure! Because the demon troops came too quickly, they directly besieged Grace City, which made it impossible for the El City Lord to get in touch with his elite troops at all.

Despite the heartache. The city lord of El still made a decisive decision: give up Grace City! Break through with the people!

Now that the entire territory of the Wild Wolf Principality has fallen, it is definitely a dead end!

With Gilles and his three hundred champion knights as the vanguard, the Lord of El successfully led his people to break through and surrender the entire city of Grace to the demons.

Some of the small arrangements made by the city lord of El in the city did not confuse the heroic generals of the demon clan for long. The demon hero soon found out that something was wrong and chased after him all the way with his troops.

Facing the menacing demon army, Gilles stood up. After deciding to be the lord of the city of El!

The city lord of El did not object, but handed over all his troops to Gilles. With tears in his eyes, he led the people to continue to evacuate towards the border.

Now that the Wolf Principality has fallen, the Lord of El has decided to take his subjects to the nearby mercenary kingdom.

However. Although Gilles's desperate break had an effect, there were still scattered demon troops dotted with the huge inevitable group of Grace City.

In order to protect his people, the lord of El finally stood up and recruited the militia troops hidden in the people.

Ever since the lord of El began to work hard, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still recruited some peasant troops from time to time and trained these peasants into qualified militia.

But unlike the other lords, the lord of El did not treat these militias as his own property, but let these militias converted from the lords be sent back to the fields one after another, and then conscripted the lords and transformed into peasant troops.

After this cycle, there is actually a considerable number of militia forces hidden in Grace City. And since the militia is cheap to recruit, it doesn't cost the lord of El much.

With a large number of cultivators, Grace City will grow at a rate far faster than other territories.

If it weren't for the fact that it was now at the last moment, the city lord of El was really unwilling to recruit these militiamen. Because, the militia forces are too vulnerable.

However, in order to protect the more numerous, ineffective people, the lord of El had to form a final line of defense with these militias.

The 20,000 second-order militia faced more than 10,000 demon troops composed of demon babies, horned demons, and hellhounds.

None of the lords thought that the lord of El would be able to achieve a final victory, after all, it was only the militia.

Moreover, in order to reduce the casualties of the lords, the city lord of El only drew 20,000 second-order elite militia from the large number of militia to form this defense line, and the rest of the militia were responsible for escorting the lords to continue to advance south.

Even, in order for this line of defense to last longer, the city lord of El went into battle in person.

With his left hand easily wielding the huge shield he had obtained from the infantry who had died in battle, and with his right hand picking up a spear, the city lord of El shouted loudly: "Hurry up!" Run faster! ”

Under the shouts of the lord of El City, the militia ran like they were fleeing, but many of them were still pounced on by the chasing Cerberus.

Without glancing at the militiamen who had been pounced, the city lord of El shouted again: "Array, stab together!" ”

After the sparse spear thrust, the lord of El once again fled with the militia. While fleeing, the city lord of El, who was already a little out of breath, quickly glanced at the militiamen.

Even with his reinforcement and command, the 20,000 militia has held out until now, and there are only less than 2,000 exhausted militiamen left. On the other side, there are more than 2,000 demons in the demon army, and most of them are second-order horned demons and third-order hellhounds.

That's it, that's it.

The City Lord of El sighed in his heart.

Without paying attention, the city lord of El stepped on a stone, and the whole person fell out directly. The Cerberus who were chasing after him immediately pounced.

"Lord of the Castle!" The militiamen immediately shouted and rushed over.

"Don't worry! I'm fine! Directly slapped a few hellhounds with his shield, but the city lord of El, who quickly got up, found that his spear did not know where it had fallen.

Without weapons, the city lord of El could only use his shield to constantly shoot away the hellhounds and horned demons, and was gradually surrounded by monsters.

"Lord El City!" The militiamen, who had calmed down under the shouts of the city lord of El, immediately rushed over when they saw that the city lord was trapped.

However, these militiamen, who were already exhausted, were unable to break through the encirclement of the demon forces at all, but fell one by one under the attack of Cerberus and Horned Demon.

Seeing that the militia was getting fewer and fewer, the city lord of El, who felt that he was also a little physically exhausted, sighed silently.

"I'm Elson Wolfe of the Wolf Family!"

The city lord of El shouted violently, and immediately launched a counter-charge towards the demons!

Under the infusion of fighting energy, the already somewhat broken shield easily smashed one monster after another. The chubby figure of the city lord of El, whose whole body was shrouded in white fighting energy, was like a god in the eyes of the remaining militiamen!

At the moment when the city lord of El began to burn his life and was determined to fight to the death, a "rumbling" sound suddenly came from afar.

"Cavalry? No, it's not! This voice is! ”

Looking at the tall figures rushing at full speed, the city lord of El suddenly burst into spirits: "Bastard, is it finally here!" Soldiers! Hold on to it! Reinforcements have arrived! ”

The militiamen, who also spotted those figures, immediately cheered: "Yes! Lord of the Castle! (To be continued.) )
