Chapter 41: Homecoming
Along the way, Artimus dealt with a number of demonic creatures.
Powerful demonic creatures charge and attack, but are often caught up in by Adimu before they can burst into the crowd, and then easily dealt with.
In the eyes of the people around him, he is so powerful, and the figure of riding a war horse is so outstanding, giving people an infinite sense of security.
No matter how powerful a monster is, in the hands of this knight, it can only become a pile of corpses, and there is no accident.
But what they didn't know was that, despite the ease with which the danger was resolved, Yadimu's heart was filled with heaviness.
"This area..... Has the neighborhood been turned into a monster paradise? ”
Dealing with a demonized creature and having its body carried away, looking at the road ahead, Yadimu's heart was a little heavy.
The last time he came to the neighborhood, he had followed a map to get an impression of the nearby terrain.
The area in front of me was a safe area in the past, and there was little danger in normal times, and it belonged to an area where demonic creatures would not appear.
But now, even such an area is full of crises, and there are traces of demonic creatures everywhere.
In the past, Artim had to actively search for traces of demonic creatures.
But now, there is no need to do anything more, every day there are demonic creatures who will take the initiative to come to the door and try to attack the crowd.
This clear and obvious change made Yadimu's mood a little heavy.
For Artimu, demonic creatures can't pose much of a danger, they can only be turned into a pile of experience points.
But for others, this is not the case.
Powerful demonic creatures are enough to kill many lives.
If there are not enough warriors to protect it, as long as a demonic creature rushes into the crowd, I am afraid that it can cause a considerable degree of casualties.
And now, with Stream Town as the center, there are traces of demonic creatures everywhere nearby.
This area is now under the guardianship of Adimu, and nothing has happened for the time being, but there is no such condition in other places.
Thinking about it, Artimu could have imagined what was happening in the vicinity at this moment.
I am afraid that a considerable number of people died at the hands of monsters, and their corpses were gnawed and died in vain on the way.
In fact, it is.
From the previous village, all the way forward, along the way, in addition to the demonized creatures, Artim can also see a lot of corpses.
The corpses had been killed by demonic creatures, and many had been reduced to broken bones and fell to the ground in vain, representing the loss of a life.
All kinds of scenes made Yadimu's mood more and more heavy.
It was in this mood that they slowly approached the location of Stream Town.
Ahead, is the range of Stream Town.
"Stop!"
On the rudimentary city walls, someone stood above, asking loudly.
They looked at the people below, and there was some vigilance between their eyebrows: "Tell me where you come from!" ”
In the crowd, the village leader walked forward and carefully took out the notice issued by the mayor before, informing the guards of their origins.
And in the process, Yadimu also walked out of the crowd.
The walls were originally quite quiet, but when Artimuzema stepped out of the crowd, it became noisy again.
"It's Mr. Yatemu!"
"The knight of Artimus is back!"
The sudden appearance of Yadimu made people a little excited.
In the past moments, Yatimu's performance made a lasting impression in the neighborhood and made his name remembered by many.
Outside, many people may not know anything about Artimus, but within Streamtown, many people have a deep impression of the young knight.
So when Artim walked out, there was immediately a cheer.
The gates of the town were slowly opened, and the faces of the people on the city walls became excited at the same time.
Then, the news was spread and more people became aware of it.
As a result, some of Yatimu's former acquaintances quickly came over.
"Mr. Deley."
Standing in place, when he saw the sturdy middle-aged man in leather armor in front of him, Yadimu couldn't help but open his mouth and called out the other party's name.
This is Deli, the sheriff of Stream, and the true second-in-command here.
"Hahaha, Artimu!"
In front of him, Deli looked a little different from before, and his eyebrows looked much more tired.
But after seeing Yadimu, his face looked quite excited, and he rushed forward and gave Yadimu a warm hug: "Let me guess, you must have heard the story that happened here, so you rushed back, right?" ”
He gave Adimu a hug and asked.
To this question, Yadimu just smiled and did not answer, but changed the subject: "What's going on around here?" ”
"Is it serious?"
"Of course, it's serious."
Listening to Yadimu's words, the original smile on Deli's face disappeared suddenly.
He stood there with a wry smile on his face: "Since more than a month ago, the situation in the neighborhood has been getting worse and worse. ”
"When it first happened, the mayor and I discussed gathering the nearby villages, but it was too late......."
He sighed: "For various reasons, the speed of relocation of nearby villages is always not timely enough, and too many people have died on the road......."
"To be honest, I've been thinking about you all the time in the past two months."
"Whenever someone dies outside, I always think that if you were here, things would be much better."
"I don't have your strength, and there are too many things I can't do in front of those monsters......."
Eventually, his voice grew hoarse, and at some point he looked up and looked at Artim in front of him.
"Artimu, my friend."
He looked at Yadimu, his bloodshot eyes filled with anticipation: "Although a long time has passed, are you still willing to join us as in the past?" ”
He asked, his eyes fixed on Artimu.
Once upon a time, Artimu was a member of the town's guards, but now it's no longer the same as it was then.
Now, the Demon Seed has emerged from the wilderness, and a steady stream of demonic creatures are invading the area, making the neighborhood extremely dangerous.
In this case, the truly intelligent people will not continue to stay in the area, but will choose to leave directly and go to a safer place.
Deli was afraid that Artimu would make the same choice.
But it is clear that his concerns are unfounded.
Under Deli's gaze, Yadimu smiled, and then said solemnly: "This is my honor. ”
"Captain."
"Hahaha, good!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Deli's face.
He stepped forward and patted Yadimu on the shoulder vigorously: "I knew that you were not such a person, and you would definitely not leave us alone!" ”
"With you, no matter what the situation is, I feel full of hope!"
He laughed and spoke.
And just at this moment, there was also a movement outside the door.
