The reaction of the clergy made Charles stunned at first, and he immediately reacted, this is not the Elven Tree Sea, and the organizational structure of the army here is different from that of the Elven Army.

Charles took a roast chicken from Deborah and ate it like everyone else in the blood-soaked place.

As he ate, he recalled the description of the Duke of Beretta in the intelligence: "Virtue is loyalty; ”

As the supreme commander guarding the south gate of the royal capital, loyalty always comes first.

And most of these people are timid and stubborn, with the primary goal of not causing trouble, and they dare not make any big moves, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

In this way, today's things will be difficult.

Charles was glad he had made other preparations, otherwise it would have been more difficult.

He looked into the valley, where the corpses of demonic beasts were covered in the valley.

At this time, their position was no longer the previous tax card, and when Deborah called for a group of priests, Charles retreated while killing, and had retreated to a position close to the mouth of the valley, ready to push the battle line back.

According to his thoughts, for those who have just arrived in the valley, the corpses of demonic beasts in one place are more convincing than any words.

In addition to the few people who were here to help, the clergy of the other temples also took action.

The bishop of the Temple of Light was in charge of directing the monks and nuns of the temple to evacuate the villagers and let them take refuge in the city of Onna.

The Bishop of the Temple of Flames went to negotiate with Duke Beretta, and everyone agreed that this talkative but hot-tempered old man was best suited to deal with the noble lord in such a situation.

The most worrying thing now is that these demonic beasts do not leave this valley and enter the area around Onna City over the mountains.

The elven priests of the Temple of Life have already entered the mountain, and their task is to conduct reconnaissance in the mountain, and if there is a demonic beast coming from the mountain, they will release a signal.

That signal is a common alarm signal for adventurers, and five fireballs explode in the sky in a row, representing the state with the highest danger level, just like the ones that are exploding in the sky now.

Charles pinched his brows and said, "It's hard to do now." ”

Bishop Rossi of the Temple of War also sighed, he walked over and patted Charles on the shoulder, comforting, "Don't be discouraged, you've done a good job, let's retreat to the lower city first." ”

Charles nodded helplessly, the next battle was not something he could solve alone.

He asked, "Can the lower city be defended, I've heard that its walls are just for show, and there aren't many adventurers here." ”

Charles was already desperate for Duke Beretta at this time, and until this time he had not sent even a single person to find out.

Bishop Rossi smiled wryly and said, "Do your best, at least enough to support the people to cross the river, as long as you can hold the bridge when the time comes." ”

There is a river almost 100 meters wide between the upper city and the lower city of Onna City, the bank of this river is very high and steep, even the monster is not easy to climb up, it can be said to be a natural defensive position, and when the time comes, you just need to guard the Zhaozhou Bridge on the river.

It's just that people are leaving...... Charles sighed, this matter was more troublesome than hunting monsters.

The alarm signal in the sky sounded every ten minutes, on both sides of the valley, and it could be seen that the signal had been moving westward, not slowly.

As they walked out of the valley, they heard a trumpet in the distance, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the army on the upper side of the city moved.

The river in the middle of the city branched off into Lake Pergusa in the south, and the main stream flowed directly into the river, and to the north it could reach the vicinity of Qiqiu City, and the defenders only had to hold out until reinforcements from Qiqiu City arrived.

The terrain at the mouth of the valley is higher, and you can see many people dragging their families to Onna Castle on the road between the mountains and fields, and some teams even drive pigs and cattle.

It's just that Charles noticed that there were still people working in several fields in the distance, and he pointed to one of the places and asked Bishop Rossi on the side, "Why haven't the people there retreated yet?"

Bishop Rossi replied, "It's a slave farm, and we can't command them. ”

Charles opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He had very little contact with slave farms over the years, mainly because slave owners generally disliked outsiders in their slave farms, so he forgot about it.

The slaves in the farm only listened to the slave owner, the slave owner did not speak, the slaves ran or did not run, and the slave tattoos on their bodies could kill them when they escaped from the farm.

Charles could erase slave tattoos, but it was not feasible to get slaves out of the way, both chronologically and legally.

"Let's go. A slightly helpless voice thought of Charles.

The only one who knew what Charles was thinking was Lisa, the dwarf, patted Charles on the back, and the roar of the monster could be heard again in the valley behind them.

Charles rode back to the Lower Town with the others, but their faces darkened as they passed by the section of the road where they could see the Upper Town.

The upper city was already in a state of imminent battle, and the battle flag was raised at the gates, but the gates of the city were closed, and the soldiers were on the walls, but not a single soldier left the city.

"What's going on?!" Charles asked the locals next to him in surprise.

Sister Rucia said helplessly, "The Upper City and the Lower City have been at odds for many years, but I didn't expect the Duke of Beretta to ......."

Charles was silent, he couldn't interfere with Duke Beretta's decision unless he and Linda had a wedding.

A few shadows caught up with the group from the side and back, and several elves of the Temple of Life completed the reconnaissance mission in the mountain and withdrew.

A young elf in his early 300s said anxiously, "The mountains are full of demonic beasts, and these demonic beasts are crazy. ”

Bishop Pandra, who turned 1,000 years later in two years, said: "The walls of the lower city cannot withstand it, and the troops must be withdrawn to the west of the river." ”

Although the people were prepared, the grim form was like a huge stone pressing down on the hearts of the people.

Bishop Rossi said, "I'll go to the mayor later, but I don't have enough time." ”

As the bishop of the Temple of War, he has more say in the battle.

If the monsters just walked the valley like they did just now, a few of them could block the intersection to buy time. But now those demonic beasts are pushing flat, and they can't block it at all.

Even Charles has no choice but to carry wind arrows, the number is too small, it is okay to bombard a single target, and it would be a drop in the bucket to cover a large area, and it can only be used as an assault force depending on the situation.

Fortunately, the enemy this time is only Warcraft, not humans, and Warcraft will not loot property, if they enter the city, at most, the reserve food such as salted meat at home will be eaten, and the Warcraft of money or anything does not know, so it is easier for people in the city to evacuate.

It's just that it is not a simple matter to organize more than 10,000 men, women and children in the city to cross the river, the bridge on the river is not wide, and there will be a stampede, so it is time to snicker if you can complete the retreat task in the afternoon.

The biggest problem at the moment is still a matter of time.

At this moment, the bell rang in the lower city in the distance, and this bell was no longer ringing slowly and leisurely like the hour chiming on the hour, but the rapid sound made people anxious to hear it.

The people on the city wall could already see the demonic beasts descending from the mountains to the east.
