Anton had always thought that this pre-war meeting was here to make up the numbers, he was not from the Arias family, and he did not hold any important positions in the castle, but he was just a teacher sent by the Silvermoon Church to enlighten the children of the noble family.

The reason why he was able to attend the hearing must be because the Arias family saw the face of the Silvermoon Church, so Anton was also very conscious, and he had not participated in any discussion until now, nor had he expressed his position, and he had not even said a word.

So he didn't expect to be the focus of this pre-war meeting at all, until he found that all eyes in the hall were focused on him, and many people looked at him with a look of anticipation in their eyes.

The lingua franca teacher couldn't help but panic a little and stammered, "Can you ...... But the church doesn't have an army. ”

"Of course we know this, but with the relationship between the Silver Moon Church and the major families in the Western Realm, if they are willing to come forward, it must be able to say that they will send troops." Lucio said hopefully.

"This ......," Anton was embarrassed, and finally decided to tell the truth, "I'm just a teacher, and I don't want to watch those lizards and their evil gods burn and loot in this land, mutilate the goddess's believers, and tarnish the goddess's brilliance, so I can write to the church, but I can't guarantee whether the church is willing to help, or how much it can help." ”

"Just let the goddess send down an oracle." Someone whispered, "So many believers have died, and there are nobles among them......"

Anton's face was flushed, but he still tried to explain, "The goddess has her own arrangements, and she can't keep watching things on the earth on the holy mountain, all we can do is pray with our hearts." ”

That is, Miss Rabbit is off the line at this time, otherwise she must have jumped up from her seat and shouted that it was useless, because she had prayed for a long time about the election before, but in the end she was almost defeated.

If it weren't for meeting Li Yu and Saturday behind him, it would be Blanca and his mother Vanessa who are sitting here with a headache.

And everyone present is not stupid, and hearing Anton say this, he knows that eighty percent of the Silver Moon Church can't have too much hope.

In fact, with the current time, it is enough for everyone in the hall to evacuate, and they can run to the nearest Black Rock City, but no one has mentioned this stubble until now.

Most of the people present were members of the Arias family, or old people who had served the Arias family for many years, and they all knew very well what this castle meant to the Arias family.

As long as it does not fall for a day, even if the whole green field is scorched, the land will still belong to them, and their descendants will still fulfill the sacred oath that their ancestors made to the Figuerola family.

But if they abandon the city and flee, even if the lizardmen are eventually driven away, their return may not be so smooth.

However, Ona still picked two children from the Arias family and sent them to Blackstone City just in case.

Seeing that everyone had nothing more to say, the meeting ended here.

Then the big guys went to their own business, collecting refugees, sending letters for help, counting supplies, and Alfred went to the top of the city to inspect the city defenses.

When the first rays of morning light fell on the rabbit flag above the castle, Yin Leia finally regained some of her spirits.

After fleeing in the middle of the night, the emotional turmoil, and the fact that she has not eaten a drop of water until now, the girl also looks a little weak.

But with the support of the maids, they climbed the city wall together.

With her previous experience, Miss Rabbit is now more and more familiar with scattering coins, and with a wave of her hand, she added a gold coin buff to the soldiers and people defending the city.

As for the pain of bleeding, that's all later.

If she loses the teacup fort, let alone the money, she won't have the face to see the ancestors of the Arias family after she dies.

Speaking of the ancestors, the girl thought of the ancestors around her neck.

I don't know if it's because she hasn't served the ancient spirits in it as hard as she used to in the past for a while, which has made her ancestors angry, so she has brought such a terrible calamity.

But Yin Leiya thought about it again, no matter how dissatisfied the old ancestor was with his unworthy descendant, there was no reason to pit the descendants to death, and besides, the ancestor of the Arias family should not be able to summon those lizardmen in the swamp.

In this way, it is more likely that the evil gods behind the lizardmen are playing ghosts.

What to do, I don't know if the Goddess of the Silver Moon has noticed that her followers here are in dire need of her help.

Miss Rabbit felt that it should be enough, otherwise she had acquiesced to Li Yu secretly preaching to the four children earlier, and was also preparing to assign her uncle's mining to Li Yu, and the matter would have been discovered by the silver moon goddess Pisia.

So who else can save her now, save the people who live in this land?

The girl walked down from the city wall with a heavy heart, and came to the open space in front of the stone castle, but she suddenly stopped when she passed a cedar tree.

The attendant watched with some confusion as the head of the Arias family drew the ruby dagger from his waist.

After a moment's hesitation, he paddled it towards the cedar tree in front of him.

Miss Rabbit worked from memory to carve sandy beaches, palm trees, deck chairs and parasols into the bark of trees.

For she remembered that someone had told her that it was a ritual to communicate with some great being.

Although the girl was not even a believer in it, the pictures were also carved by her in a paradoxical way.

However, when she withdrew her knife, she folded her hands and prayed earnestly under the old tree.

The attendant maid seemed to think of something, her face couldn't help but change slightly, and she quietly took two steps back, not knowing whether she wanted to distance herself from the strange picture on the tree or the female lord who was falling into paganism.

Fortunately, at this time, the castle was still receiving refugees from all directions, and there were chickens and dogs jumping everywhere, and no one paid attention to the small episodes that happened here.

Even Yin Leiya herself is trying her luck everywhere with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and she doesn't really believe in Saturday's ability.

After all, this great existence in Li Yu's mouth didn't even keep his spokesperson in the world, and it didn't seem that he could help her keep the castle.

As soon as she thought of Li Yu, Miss Rabbit's swollen eyes, which had been crying, began to hurt again.

Afraid of being seen crying, he hurriedly lowered his head.

At such times, the lord must lead by example and not show any weakness, otherwise it will be even more difficult for the people below to maintain their popularity.

Yin Leia still understands this truth, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes as quickly as possible, Alfred is worried about the defense of the city, and she can't help anything except boost morale.

So the girl decided to devote herself to the work of rehousing refugees and making arrows.

Time came to dusk in a blink of an eye, and the sun was setting, and it was little by little into the horizon.

The villagers of several villages near Teacup Fort were either taken into the castle or fled on their own in the direction of Blackstone City.

In the end, the castle was filled with nearly 500 people, most of whom were old and young, women and children.

This is not what the old knight expected, because the first choice for those who run fast must be Black Rock City, which is undoubtedly safer, and most of the people who will hide in the castle are not so convenient for their legs and feet, and they are afraid that they will be chased and killed by those lizardmen halfway.

Fortunately, these people were also accompanied by relatives, and Alfred still selected one hundred and twenty young men to help defend the city.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

In this way, the security of the castle was once again reinforced.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken completely, the old knight ordered the withdrawal of all the cavalry who were on guard outside, and closed the gates.

The important people in the castle were all gathered on the city wall at this time, and they all looked solemn and craned their necks to look west.

Many people were cramping on their feet, and they didn't see the legendary army of lizards.

Some of them even had a chance to wonder if the lizardmen would loot a few knights' estates and then turned around and went back to the swamp.

But soon, their dreams are shattered by the harsh reality.

I saw a group of small black dots, rushing towards here from where the sun had set, and as they got closer, the people on the city walls were gradually able to see them.

As in the records, they had ugly heads, long, fanged mouths growing on top of their heads, and each of them, male or female, was naked, clutching a variety of rudimentary weapons.

Some of them made themselves, others they grabbed halfway through, and there were even some farm tools.

In the center of the procession, four stout lizardmen carry a chair made of bones from an unknown animal.

There was also a figure on that seat.
