The time came to the next day.

Because he slept too late yesterday, Emir was groggy early in the morning, but he could not continue to rest.

In order to prevent the demons from suddenly attacking, he, the candidate for the city lord, must always pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Of course, he didn't consider himself a candidate for lord of the city, and the nickname was given to him by Sain.

Sain was quite enthusiastic about this, and Emir knew why, but the more Sain did this, the more troubled he felt, and he was helpless.

At this time, Sain was pulling him towards the city gate.

"Sain, slow down, Lydia isn't in a hurry."

"You, you don't know when you're nervous, those people and nobles are all watching, if they find out that you are not as diligent as Lydia, they will definitely not support you."

"Wouldn't that be better? Lydia has been taking care of us, and it doesn't hurt to make her the lord of the city, not to mention that she is indeed more capable than me. ”

"Tsk, these are two different things," said Sain impatiently, "and we will naturally find a way to repay her for her kindness to us, but this is fair play, you must take advantage of this opportunity, and don't forget why we are here." ”

“……”

The emir had nothing to say but let Sain pull him to the city gates.

After a few minutes, they finally arrived, and after a few hours of hard work last night, the gate had been built, and it was an arch five meters wide and ten meters high, as before.

In order to facilitate the observation of the battlefield, a small section of the wall where the city gate is located has been built forty meters high, while the rest of the city has been built less than one meter high, and it is estimated that it will take a month to fully restore it.

The emir couldn't help but wonder, did it really make sense to do this? You know, the explosion caused by the death of that monster yesterday destroyed the entire city wall in an instant, and if the demons send the same monster again, what should they do then?

So this wall is completely useless, just to reassure the unsuspecting people.

The Emir knew the current situation very well, if they didn't think about how to completely eradicate the demons, it would be useless for them to build the city wall many times.

After last night's encounter in the library, Emir understood one thing, the huge monster was not the commander, and the real demon commander had not yet appeared.

At this point, the emir followed the makeshift staircase to the top of the city gate, where he found Lydia too.

"Good morning, Emir." Lydia looked back and smiled.

"Hehe, I'm here so early."

"Well, after all, those people are looking at me, even if I don't want to be the lord of the city, I have to fulfill my duties as a knight."

The emir was in a complicated mood, and when he heard Lydia's meaning, he was determined to make him the lord of the city.

He looked at the battlefield outside the city, and found that a huge crater had appeared in the center because of the explosion of the monster, and the battlefield that had been originally flat ground had been sunken in its entirety.

Maybe there's groundwater seeping in, and there's some water there.

"Emir, let me ask you, do you really not want to be the lord of the city?" After a moment of silence, Lydia suddenly spoke.

"I ...... Forget it, I don't want to hide anything from you," said the emir, after a deep sigh, "after so many days of getting along, you may think that my mind is very flexible, but to tell you the truth, this is all appearance, if it were just me, I could easily come up with some way to escape, even if I failed, I would only die alone, but if I had the survival of the whole town on my shoulders, then I could not guarantee that their expectations would be met, or rather, I could not afford to fail." ”

Hearing this, Lydia had mixed feelings, she wanted to comfort Emir and remind him that he was not as weak as she thought, but the problem now was obviously not this, she could not guarantee that Emir would survive the next battle.

Presumably, the emir himself is very clear, so he has this concern, since his own safety is difficult to guarantee, how can he talk about protecting the people of the entire town?

However, at this time, Sain also climbed up, and just happened to hear these words of the emir.

He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, at first he just felt that Emir was too inferior, so he didn't know how to ask for credit after saving the town, but now it seems that he himself would be wrong, but he complained about Emir in his heart.

As soon as he thought about it, he felt that he didn't have the face to see his best friend, so he quietly went down the stairs.

At this time, Emir and Lydia are observing the battlefield, and they must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to deal with the next attack of the demons.

Lydia was naturally not as nimble as the emir's mind, and she stood here purely to reassure the people.

It didn't take long for the Emir to come back to his senses after a long period of thought, and he did come up with a solution, but he still had to ask Lydia's opinion.

"At the moment, the city wall can't be built for a while, but I have to block the attack of the demons, so I'm thinking about whether I can use the big hole in the middle of the battlefield."

Lydia agreed with him, and the people began to get complacent as they saw that they had built a small section of the wall in a matter of hours, but in reality, even if they had completely restored the wall, it would not last long.

It's not a bad thing for people to feel at ease, but for someone like her, you have to know that the situation is still grim.

"Oh? What do you want to do? ”

Amir paused and replied, "I think...... Do you think it's feasible to fill the pit with water and create a lake to keep the monsters out? ”

"Hmm...... But in that case, the knights won't be able to go into battle," Lydia said after a moment's thought, but she immediately understood her question, "Oh, then the knights will only need to guard the gates." ”

"Well," Emir nodded, and continued, "We can master long-range attacks, and this can be left to Margaret, with her ability, it is a piece of cake at all, and as for the situation where monsters come from other places, don't you see that the city wall has been built more than a meter high?" You can arrange for all the soldiers to hide at the foot of the city wall, once they find that the monster wading over, let them solve it, if not, let the knights assist, although they are only six people, but as a mobile group to assist the soldiers at any time. ”

“…… Well, well, it's a lot better than my brother had in mind, and all he knew was how to build walls. ”

"Haha, this is understandable, after all, he fainted at the time, and he didn't see the scene when the monster exploded."

"Yes," Lydia nodded, "If the battlefield turns into a lake, monsters of that size won't be able to come easily, and the only ones who can wade through the water will be some miscellaneous soldiers." ”

Emir was affirmed by Lydia, and the stone in his heart was finally put down, but the first priority was how to implement this tactic.

It was no easy task to fill a pit of this size, but Lydia seemed to understand his concerns, but instead of being bothered, she smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, leave this matter to me, and I'll take care of it."

"Oh? What are you going to do? ”

"I won't tell you yet, you'll know when the time comes, and I have an important task to entrust to you next."

“…… "All right," said the emir, accustomed to her ways, and no longer asked, "what is the task you are talking about?" ”

"That's right, you see there are only six knights left in the Order...... Oh, counting me and my brother are eight, in short, six people except our brother and sister don't have the right weapons, so I ......"

The emir didn't have to continue listening to understand, so he said.

"Well, I see, I'll forge six weapons as soon as possible."

"Very good...... By the way, you wait a minute. ”

Lydia patted him on the shoulder, then walked to the edge of the wall and beckoned to the people surrounding him.

"Guys, stop for a moment and listen to me, okay?"

The people stopped their work when they heard the cries of the acting lord, some of them servants of the noble family, and now they were also sent to help, and of course, their main task was to secretly observe the behavior of Lydia and the emir.

"You see, this young man named Emir is a senior forger, he will create a weapon for the people of the Knights, so that they can better go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, with this guarantee, we will definitely defeat the demons, you all have to remember his merits, understand?"

After hearing her say these words, the people were silent for a while, and as one person agreed, the rest of the people responded.

Lydia was trying to raise the profile of the Emir, but the Emir was not happy at all.

He really didn't expect that the achievement he wanted would lead to this result, and he might as well stay at home if he knew so.

However, when he thought of his home, he became even more depressed, because it was likely that it had been poisoned by the demons, but he couldn't go back immediately.

……

The forest outside the town of Blackpool.

More than a thousand meters away from the town, there is a low-lying area sandwiched by two hills, and the lair of the demons is here.

Because of the existence of the demons, this place looks eerie and terrifying, there are no traces of ordinary animal life in the whole area, there is only a silence that makes people's hearts hairy, and a large amount of black miasma floats out of the forest.

Surprisingly, there are no monsters stationed here, only a strange building standing in the forest.

The whole building is roughly cubic, more than five meters high and three meters wide, more like a tomb than a house.

Suddenly, a figure hurried through the woods, it was Allison, who had failed to complete his task.

He made it back to the lair without incident.

Allison stood in front of the building and pressed his hand on the stone door, and then, hearing only a rumbling sound, the stone door gradually opened, and he rushed in without hesitation.

As soon as he entered, the stone door closed with a "boom", and the inside suddenly became pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

He was not worried, but strode forward, and as he went deeper, the light source on the wall next to him instantly lit up, but it was not a torch, but something like a stone lantern, emitting a yellowish faint light.

Once you enter the building, you will find a staircase that descends gently and is quite spacious.

After more than ten minutes of walking, Allison finally reached the bottom.

It was a very large space, more than 100 meters in length, width and height, but it was empty, and there was nothing in it except for eight tall pillars, on which were carved strange-looking monsters.

As soon as Allison entered the space, the lights around him lit up, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.

He walked slowly forward, and finally stopped near the wall, only to realize that it was not empty, but that there were five huge sarcophagi in front of him.

Four of them are of the same size and arranged in a cross shape, while the fifth sarcophagus is in the middle, twice as large as the others.

At this point, three of the five sarcophagi are empty, including the largest one in the middle, and two around it.

Allison looked around and saw that there was no one else in the space, and he couldn't help but wonder where the people in the sarcophagus had gone.

He had come out of here a few months ago, and of course, he wasn't lying in the sarcophagus in the first place, because he wasn't qualified to do that.

At that time, a sarcophagus had been opened, and from it was his current boss, who was the current commander of the demon race.

According to his boss, the sarcophagus can only be opened from the inside, so they know that the main force of the demon clan is lying in the sarcophagus, and they can't open it with external force.

However, he hadn't returned for a few days, and two more sarcophagi had been opened, one was the largest sarcophagus, and the one that came out of it was undoubtedly the king of the demon race, and the other should be the same as his boss.

However, since all three of them have come out, why can't there be a single figure here?

"What's the situation? Where have they gone? Allison muttered.

After a while, the wall in front of him suddenly moved, and when he looked up, he could see that the entire wall was a large mural with various forms of monsters painted on it, there were hundreds of types, and not only that, but the surrounding walls were also there.

At this time, one of the monsters in the mural suddenly began to glow, and then the monster came out of the wall.

It looks similar to that of a human, except that it doesn't look very intelligent, with round eyes and drooling at the corners of its mouth.

"It's you, Babu."

Allison recognized it, after all, he was the only monster that looked like this.

"Hehe, Lord Allison, you're finally ...... I'm back, and I've been doing ...... lately Luckily? The monster named Babu smirked, and for some reason, he was slurping.

"Well, don't mention it," Allison sighed, he really wanted to talk to someone about the setbacks he had suffered these days, but he didn't look down on the fool in front of him, "By the way, I ask you, where has the commander gone?" ”

“…… What's this? ”

The Báb was lost in thought, as if he knew about it, but could not remember it for a moment.

It took a long time for him to finally speak.

"That's right, Mistress Pedro...... A few months ago...... fell into a deep sleep, saying that he wanted to retrieve ...... Own power ......"

"Tsk," Allison interrupted him impatiently, "I know that, can I get to the point?" Where is he now? ”

"Oh, point, he said...... It's time to fight the bad guys. ”

Allison understood what the so-called bad guy meant, and he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the commander, at the moment, Kraken's arm was still in the hands of humans, and if he rashly attacked the town, he would be easily threatened by humans, and he could only choose to back down when the time came, but in this way, humans would know their weaknesses.

"Cut, what a guy who does his own thing." Allison shook his head in disappointment, then asked, "By the way, how many troops did he bring?" ”

Babu looked at the sky and thought for a moment, and held out a finger to him.

"A thousand?"

"No, it's just him...... Myself. ”

“…… What? Allison was dumbfounded.
