In order to deal with the possible attack of the demons at night, the city wall was full of torches, and more than a dozen knights took turns to stand guard, but until the sky was white, there was nothing abnormal in the forest outside the city.

Daniel was thinking that the demons must be trying to show their strength, so they didn't bother to attack at night.

However, in his opinion, the demons will inevitably pay a heavy price for arrogance.

It didn't take long for Lydia to take the Emir and the others to the city gates, intending to fight with the knights.

The knights had seen Lydia's true strength before, and now that she was coming, their morale was boosted.

At this time, perhaps the emir came at the right time, and the scouts on the tower sent a signal of the demon attack, and in response, the city gate immediately released a signal flare.

Soon, all the beacon towers on the city wall were lit, and for a while, the sound of trumpets came and went, and the firelight illuminated the battlefield outside the city.

The townspeople had been preparing for evacuation last night, and now as soon as the horn sounded, they took refuge in the cellars in an orderly manner under the command of the soldiers.

At this time, the few soldiers in the town were arranged to assist the inhabitants in taking refuge, or to guard some important military strongholds, such as towers for battlefield reconnaissance, crossbow bolt firing pads above the city walls, and weakly defended back doors, etc., while the powerful knights were responsible for charging on the frontal battlefield.

These battle plans were made by Daniel, and although he had assisted the army commander in previous battles, most of the time, the commander had to ask him for advice, which was also witnessed by the members of the Knights.

Now that the commander is dead, he has a chance to show his commanding skills, and the knights trust him unconditionally.

A few minutes later, the demons finally appeared, and Daniel immediately ran to the city gate to observe the battlefield for himself.

I saw a large group of monsters rushing out of the forest outside the city, and they were numerous, and they were black and oppressive, like a tide.

Daniel had expected them to stop in the middle of the battlefield, waiting for the Demon Commander's orders, but unexpectedly, the monsters rushed straight to the city gate as if they were out of control, as if they were about to launch a strong attack.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Daniel hurriedly signaled the knights to go out of the city to fight.

As the monsters approached the city gate, everyone could see the appearance of these monsters, they were completely different from the monsters that had attacked the town before, they did look like locusts, with two pairs of wings and powerful hind limbs, but they were pitch black, and they were about the size of half an adult.

What's even more terrifying is that they move quite fast, and the open space outside the city gate is hundreds of meters away, but they pass through it in less than a minute.

The knights did not dare to slack off at this time, standing not far from the city gate, forming a human wall, because there were only eighteen knights including Lydia, and Daniel needed to be in charge of the command on the city wall, and could not go into battle to kill the enemy, so they could only choose the safest defensive formation.

They formed a circle in front of the monster, and more than a dozen knights on the periphery held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, while several knights in the circle took the opportunity to stretch their long swords out of the gap in the shield and cut the monster.

Cyne wanted to rush out with the knights, but Lydia told him that the knights were usually trained and cooperative, and that if he did, not only would he not help, but would disrupt their rhythm.

Thorn was frustrated for a moment, but Lydia tapped him on the shoulder and advised him to stand near the gates and leave it to him if anything slipped through the net, though he was still reluctant, but at this point, he had no choice but to obey orders.

However, the emir also suggested that he could directly release Lilith and burn the monsters to ashes.

Daniel heard his words above the city gate, but he didn't support him to do it, because this time the demons launched a general attack, it can't be only this wave, if the trump card is shown in advance, then the demons will be on guard, and then the battle situation will be unfavorable to mankind.

The emir felt that it made sense, and agreed, and he planned to guard the city gate with Sain.

Soon, all the insect-type monsters under the black pressure rushed over, because they could jump and fly, and those rejection horses placed in the door were of no use at all.

However, this can at least give the knights a little security, they are full of horses on the left and right, and their backs are against the city gate, and the only thing they face is the demon army.

Strangely, the monsters could have destroyed the horses that were in the way, leaving the knights empty on the left and right, but instead of doing so, they crossed the horses and finally formed a force to attack the knights' front.

The knights were also happy, and they were all riveted to keep the monster out of the city gates.

Although the monsters could jump and fly, and could easily jump over the knight's shield, the knights also knew how to be flexible, and whenever the monster crossed the shield, they quickly stabbed their long swords out, piercing the monster's body in one fell swoop.

This method was tried and tested, and a large number of monsters fell in front of the shields, and the knights saw that the monsters died one after another, but no one of them was lost, and gradually became more and more courageous.

They all felt that the so-called general attack was nothing more than that, so it seemed that this battle must have been won by humans.

Daniel didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he knew that this was just the beginning, not to mention that there was a bigger hidden danger in the town, and he had placed the emir near the city gate to beware of Kresti.

Although the strength of these monsters is not strong, the problem is that there are too many of them to kill in a short period of time, and as time goes by, the monsters become more and more less attack-conscious, and sometimes they even hit the knight's sword directly.

It's a good thing that knights can kill as many enemies as possible, but the strength of human beings is limited after all, and the outermost knights have the most contact with monsters because they are holding two pieces of equipment, and their physical strength is rapidly depleting, and many people are showing fatigue.

Daniel then saw that the purpose of these monsters may be to consume the knight's physical strength, and when the combat power on the human side is exhausted, the demons will send a more powerful army.

Lydia, who stayed inside the defensive formation, had the fewest encounters with the monsters, and she could easily destroy the monsters that broke through the formation, so she had enough time to observe the battle situation and also discovered the cats.

She couldn't help but be surprised, the commander of the demon clan probably had the same intelligence as a human, and his command ability was also quite outstanding.

She knew she didn't have time to run out, so she immediately slipped through the gap in her shield and unleashed a sword shot at the monster swarm.

At this time, she didn't have time to use her sword skills, which also meant that the power of this move would not be too great, but in the end, she still overturned a large number of monsters, and they either had their wings broken, or their slender limbs were cut off, in short, many of them lost their balance and could not stand up again.

Seeing this, the knights immediately changed their tactics and switched to an attacking formation, throwing their shields in place, and then clenching their swords with both hands, and followed behind Lydia.

Whenever Lydia used a single sword technique to cut down a large number of monsters, the knights rushed out to mend their swords, buying time for Lydia's charged sword skills.

Soon, Lydia had finished charging, and the knights hurried back behind her to cover her.

The efficiency of this tactic has increased a lot, but it was also a decision made by Daniel.

These knights don't know how to be flexible when no one is in charge, they always lose the ability to think on the battlefield, and sometimes they can't even figure out the direction.

Of course, they can't be blamed for this, after all, knights have always been able to exert their full strength in one-on-one combat, and once they arrive at the battlefield with a complex environment, they will not be able to calm down, and their thinking will become confused.

So, Daniel warned them that they didn't need to think much about it when they arrived on the battlefield, as long as they acted according to the tactics planned in advance, and when they encountered too many enemies, they would shrink into a defensive formation, and if the enemy fell into a weak position, they would immediately switch to an offensive formation, but no matter what formation they were, they should not be too far away from the defending target.

Originally, each knight would overthink his own safety when he arrived on the battlefield, worrying that he would be attacked by the enemy when he was fighting, but with such a tactic, they only need to change the formation according to the enemy's situation, and they don't have to be distracted to think about other things at all.

With Lydia's sword skills, the knights could finally take a break after the battle, and when Lydia was tired, they switched to a defensive formation again, with the knights on the periphery in charge of the main battle, and Lydia could take the opportunity to rest.

In short, half an hour passed like this, and those insect-type monsters couldn't get even half a step close to the city gate, on the other hand, on the knight's side, relying on the tactics of waiting for work, they were still full of fighting spirit.

……

For a while, both Emile and Sain could only stand at the gates of the city, but Emir was still vigilant about every move in the town.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a figure to come out of the barracks in the distance, and it wasn't until the other party approached the city gate that the emir finally saw clearly, there was no doubt that it was Chrysti.

She slung her two swords at her waist and paced slowly toward them.

Seeing that there was no need to worry on the battlefield, Daniel turned his gaze to the city and noticed Kresty as well.

Although the Emir has dragon protection, he may not know about Kresti's swordsmanship, and if he summons Lilith a little slowly, he may be slashed by Kresty's sword.

So, Daniel hurriedly ran down himself and stood in front of the emir.

"May I ask you, dear Lord Christie, why did you come here in person, could it be that you wanted to break the rules and go to the battlefield without permission?"

Daniel said, smiling, still trying to keep Chrestie's mood at bay.

“……”

However, Chrysti was silent, and she stood in front of Daniel, clasped her hands on her chest, and slowly closed her eyes.

If it was the old Cresti, when her knights spoke to her, she would have responded, no matter how dismissive.

But now, she didn't even pay attention to Daniel, but looking at her stance, everyone quickly understood that Chrysti was accumulating strength for her sword skills.

It seems that at this time, she is not even in the mood to explain, but chooses to fight directly.

Daniel didn't have the confidence to resist Kresty's sword skills head-on, so he quickly turned around, grabbed Emir's collar and ran, and Sain quickly hid in a safe place outside the city gate.

"I'm sorry, Daniel."

Chrysti muttered, then snapped open her eyes, a faint glint of golden light in them.

In the next moment, both of her swords were unsheathed at the same time, and even the blades seemed to have a layer of golden light attached to them, and Christy rushed towards Daniel at great speed.

As the two were running, they suddenly noticed that Krysti was getting closer and closer to them, and seeing that they were about to be overtaken, Daniel suddenly stood still, pushed Emir away, and stabbed his sword at Krestie.

"Quick, summon the dragon!"

Emir was pushed at the last minute and out of range of Kresty's attack, but he quickly came to his senses and shouted at the ring in his hand.

"Lilith, it's your turn."

Immediately, a burst of dark red light burst out, and a huge shadow appeared on the ground.

Chrysti wanted to pierce Daniel's chest directly, but just as she was about to exert her strength, she suddenly saw a shadow in front of her, and she couldn't react for a while, she didn't understand what was happening.

Immediately after, a behemoth appeared, she flapped her wings, and instantly blew up a puff of dust, blinding everyone's sight.

Unclear about the situation, Chrysti immediately took a big step back, and her sword skills were temporarily withdrawn.

As the dust cleared, the dragon, which was as large as a three-story building, finally appeared, and saw that her whole body was red, as if bathed in blood, and she had strong limbs, because it was so heavy, her sharp claws even pierced into the ground.

Her body was enveloped by her wide wings, and when she appeared, she spread her wings and flapped them, and then a gust of wind swept the Emir and them all to and side, except for Chrysti, who was still standing steadily, but her mind was already shaken.

There was no doubt that it was the first time she had seen the legendary dragon, and it was a giant dragon with wings that could easily flapp her away, and powerful limbs that could trample her into meat sauce, not to mention the terrifying dragon's breath.

Chrysti kept retreating, her mood was very complicated, if she had known that there were dragons on their side, why would she go to the demons?

But is it too late to regret it now? Of course it's too late, what's more, she already has no qualifications to regret it.

So, when all was lost, she took out the purple box from her waist that the mysterious person had given her.

In the next moment, Lilith did not hesitate at all, neither wanting to move her wings nor raise her feet to step on her, but directly spit out dragon breath.

Huge fireballs erupted from Lilith's mouth, carrying a scorching heat like lava and engulfing Kresty's body in an instant.
