Thank you for the 2 commuter passes of Phantom Arrow!

…………………………

At this time, the Maple Leaf Town has fallen into a panic.

However, Roland is heading to the source of chaos, the southern area of Maple Town.

Before he could get closer, he heard the quarrel coming from there, and dimly saw all the townspeople gathered together in a panic, looking in horror in the direction of the town's entrance, as if he had seen something terrible.

Roland followed their gaze and saw a group of gnolls in rudimentary armor and armed weapons facing the townspeople.

It can be clearly seen that the equipment of those gnolls is not very good.

The armor on their bodies was so torn that it looked like they had been picked up from the battlefield, and even the maces in their hands showed signs of crumbling.

As for the quantity, Roland is not sure. If it is estimated, there will be close to a thousand gnolls.

Monsters attacking the town?

Seeing this scene, Roland completely understood what was going on.

It's just that he was surprised that the group of gnolls were confronted by some townsfolk with ordinary blades in their hands.

It stands to reason that even if the Maple Leaf Town is not big, there should be a certain number of soldiers, how can there not be a soldier on the right track.

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but quicken his pace and walk in that direction.

"Didn't we give you food not long ago? It doesn't seem like it's time yet, and you're breaking the rules. ”

Old Mayor Jonathan took two steps forward with a solemn expression and said in a cold tone.

"No, no, no, Mr. Mayor, I think you're mistaken! Last time I didn't get any food at all...... To compensate us, now I need a few of you to come with me. Who will come with us willingly? ”

The gnoll man who took the lead laughed and said in a very rampant tone.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere around them became strange, and the rest of the gnoll people did not show any disdain in their eyes, and looked at the townspeople like pigs in captivity.

Faced with such a gaze, the eyes of those townspeople immediately appeared with fear. I can't help but take a step back.

"No, we will never agree to this condition!"

But the old mayor Jonathan did not flinch, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said this.

If they want to become the slaves of these gnolls, even if it is to endure death, they cannot agree to it in any way.

Merely...... After saying this, Jonathan also thought about what happened to him and the townspeople. These gnolls will swarm and use their blades to kill or capture the entire town.

"Guys, are you willing to be slaves to these bastards? Accept their ridicule and insults all the time. Slaughter...... For the sake of our dignity, we must drive these bastards out of Maple Leaf Town, even if it is at the cost of blood! ”

For some reason, the old mayor Jonathan's heart swelled up, and he raised the cane in his hand and shouted.

There was a soft buzz, and all around fell silent.

All the townspeople looked at the old mayor, who had been very kind before, as if they could not imagine that he would say such a thing.

Perhaps infected by the words of the old mayor, some of them began to slowly stand up. Muster up the courage to let out a roar and get ready for battle.

"Yes. We definitely don't want to be slaves to those bastards! ”

"I've had enough, too! The food that has been so hard to collect is to be handed over to these guys. ”

"Me ...... too"

"You stupid fellows, such a decision will bring you destruction! The little ones, killing these guys, and bringing the women and children back, they have another use. ”

Even the gnoll leader was frightened by the actions of the townspeople. After all, until a moment ago, the townspeople had shown a cowardly appearance.

But it quickly reacted and hurriedly issued orders to his men.

Whoever rebels against it will all step into the abyss of death.

"Muster your courage and expel these guys from our homes!"

The old mayor stood at the front of the crowd. It constantly boosts the morale of the town's residents.

Although they have abandoned their cowardice, the gap in strength between them and the gnolls has not decreased, so it is necessary to ensure that their morale does not collapse.

"Hey, are you trying to invade my territory?"

Just when the war was about to break out, a sound ran through the audience, instantly disrupting the tense atmosphere of the scene.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on the source of the sound.

I saw a young man dressed as a hunter gently push away the crowd next to him, came to the old mayor, and looked at the jackal man opposite him defiantly.

Isn't this the new lord who came today?

But now in the face of the fierce gnoll, such a noble son is useless at all, maybe someone will need to protect him later.

The moment they saw Roland, strange thoughts could not help but emerge among the townspeople.

"Your Excellency, you better leave now, it will be very dangerous here."

The old mayor's eyes flashed with panic, and he hurriedly persuaded Roland.

To be honest, he really didn't want the young lord to die in this place. Because Roland gave him a different feeling, he exuded an aura of a leader, not like any kind of greedy aristocrat that made people feel annoying.

"Please don't mind Mayor Jonathan, I'll take care of the rest."

Roland reached out and patted the old mayor on the shoulder, then walked towards the gnolls' defenses.

"Alas......"

At this time, the old mayor Jonathan silently watched Roland's departure and did not step forward to stop him.

Because as soon as the lord said those words, the panic in his heart disappeared immediately, and the young man seemed to have an innate temperament that could be trusted.

"Hmph, are you the new lord? Let's make a deal, if you give me twenty people, we'll save you from the pain of death. ”

When the gnoll leader saw Roland emerge from the crowd, he immediately thought he had come to negotiate.

As a result, the vigilance in its heart disappeared for a moment, and it did not pay as much attention as it did to the townspeople's preparation for a counterattack.

Suddenly. Everyone fell silent, their eyes focused on the young lord.

They were all very curious about Roland's answer...... Is it acceptable? Or refusal?

"Really? But I don't feel like I'm trading with you bastards............"

Roland smiled weirdly, and then under the surprised gaze of everyone, he slowly aimed his right hand at the gnoll leader in front of him, and whispered: "Fireball technique!" ”

In an instant, the gnoll leader felt a strange sense of threat.

But it hadn't had time to think about the threat. There was a burning sound in its ears, and then its vision was completely obscured by pale golden flames.

"Ah.........h

The pain from the soul continued to emerge, and the gnoll leader felt that his body was out of control, and his consciousness was gradually weakening, and the only thing he could do was let out a cathartic scream.

Although the leader of the gnolls did not see what was going on, the rest of the bystanders could see it clearly.

I saw that at the moment when Roland finished speaking, suddenly, a trace of spark strangely ignited in the air.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they exhaled. The gnoll leader was ablaze with a scorching golden flame, and almost in the blink of an eye, the golden flame enveloped its body, turning it into a large ball of fire.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the townspeople looking at Roland changed a little.

Because they found out that this nobleman, who looked very weak, turned out to be a powerful magician, who could kill the terrible gnoll with a single blow.

Again, the gnolls were shocked by this. Because the human in front of him actually killed their leader.

Until the burning corpse of the gnoll leader fell to the ground. The rest of the jackals reacted.

"Kill that human and avenge our leader!"

"Yes, he's just a magician, and we can easily kill that bastard if we rush to his side."

……………………

With the sound of chaos and anger, the gaze of revenge fell on Roland's body.

Now the thought of revenge has filled the hearts of all gnolls. In any case, they will kill Roland and then avenge their leader.

But Roland didn't pay much attention to these monsters.

Because these gnolls are only level 30, he can kill these guys even with the lowest level cards.

Merely...... In order to avoid widespread damage to the town.

"Open the Ouroboros Gate!"

Roland decided not to take matters into his own hands. He took a deep breath and whispered.

As soon as the words fell, there was a buzz, and a quaint gate appeared out of thin air in front of him.

However, after the quaint gate was secured, a group of "shadow legionnaires" in gray armor stepped out of it and lined up in a neat line.

Seeing this, the gnolls who were about to move couldn't help but stop.

After all, no matter how stupid they were, they could see that these strange human soldiers were not simple.

"Hoggs, report for duty...... Always at the behest of your master. ”

At this time, Hoggs, the commander of the army, came to Roland, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Kill all these gnolls......"

"Yes, master."

Hoges replied faintly, then stood up and shouted to the shadow legionnaires beside him, "Kill them for glory!" ”

"For glory!"

More than a hundred shadow legionnaires drew their spears on their backs, burst out with dazzling fighting energy, and rushed towards the gnolls who were still stunned.

However, the level advantage of the level 50 Shadow Legion is not so easy to cancel.

When they rushed into the team of gnolls who were only in their thirties, it was like a train rushing into the crowd, there were no obstacles, and a large number of corpses must lie down wherever they passed.

"Run...... All of them are demons, run! ”

As time passed, some of the jackals realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted loudly.

When the first such voice appeared, the rest of the gnolls also retreated in their hearts, after all, they were now facing a one-sided slaughter, and there was no chance of victory.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the gnolls held out for less than a minute before immediately breaking up and fleeing towards the entrance and exit of the town behind them.
