Standing on the watchtower in the city, His Excellency could clearly see the steady stream of red waves in the distance.

Looking at those dark red monsters and the smell of sulfur wafting from afar, His Excellency the Duke, who had never experienced the battlefield, was shocked, and almost fell to the bottom of his legs.

Fortunately, the loyal captain of the guard quickly held the noble Duke in his hands.

Otherwise, the Atayal Kingdom will have to leave a joke that everyone will talk about.

It is really a bit humiliating that a dignified duke, who is also the lord of the city, was so frightened that he fell to his death under the watchtower when he saw the enemy.

Seeing the somewhat ugly face of the Duke of Parmalat, the captain of the guard hurriedly reported: "Xiaguan sees that those monsters are not strong, if they do their best to protect the city defense army as bait, they will be able to protect the adults and break out of the encirclement!"

To tell the truth, this guard captain is also a senior officer drawn from the front-line army in actual combat, and he has good eyesight, and he can see through the strength of those little inferior demons at a glance and make a plan.

You must know that as a guard to protect the safety of the Duke of Parmalat, the Duke of Parmalat is not a little stingy, and a lot of gold coins are smashed down, whether it is the strength of the members of the guard, or the equipment, it is the strongest in the Atayal Kingdom except for the royal guards.

The total number of members of the guard is kept at three hundred, which does not seem to be much, but all of them are high-level knights, and there are three noble mages sitting in the formation, and the weapons and armor are also magic suits.

When the Duke of Parmalat heard the report of the captain of the guard, instead of praising the captain of the guard, his face fell, he snorted coldly, did not say anything, and turned to go down the watchtower.

Are you kidding. How can this duke, who is a golden man, rush into the midst of monsters like you brave men?If there is a good man, will not the good life of this duke be ruined at the hands of you fools?

Besides, if this Black Grass City is finished, even if your Duke and I escape, I am afraid that we will have to dismiss the official and lose the title. It's better to jump directly into the monster group and die!

Compared with the bravery of these guard members, it is impossible for the Duke of Parmalat to take risks, after all, the defense of Blackgrass City looks pretty good, even if he wants to run, it is well arranged to minimize the risk, how can he rush into the sea of little devils in a daze.

The body of a daughter, not sitting in the hall, is the truth, but as a high-ranking nobleman. The Duke of Parmalat is a practitioner of this principle.

Not to mention that there are countless monsters outside, even if there are only a few hundred monsters, so if you want the Duke to leave the city, then please destroy all the monsters outside, and the Duke will rest for a few days, if there are no monsters again, then the Duke may leave the city under heavy protection.

Don't laugh, this is the style of the great nobles.

The noble words of valor and sacrifice have nothing to do with them. If possible, eliminate all dangers. It's their king.

After leaving the watchtower, the Duke of Parmalat immediately ordered the accompanying mages to pass on the news of the monster siege, and inadvertently revealed that Blackgrass City's taxes for this year had not yet been escorted back to China.

Well, the Duke of Parmalat is just playing a small trick, if it is just the news that he is under siege, I am afraid that the news will reach the royal city. Many people clapped their hands in secret, and there were even people who obstructed the army's rescue.

But if the news of the tax comes out, I am afraid that His Majesty will have to be anxious, and the Duke of Parmalat is well aware of the financial situation of the kingdom.

As it stands, Blackgrass accounts for almost one-third of the kingdom's tax revenue. If this money is not recovered, I am afraid that the kingdom's finances will fall into an embarrassing situation of bankruptcy.

This is not alarmist, as the second largest power in the human kingdom, the Atayal Kingdom also ranks among the top three in the human kingdom in terms of military possession, and the huge number of troops has already overwhelmed the kingdom, not to mention that the properties of the major churches are tax-free due to the divine power higher than the royal power, coupled with the tax reduction policy of the aristocratic property, so the burden on the kingdom's finances can be imagined.

After the news came out, the Duke of Parmalat went straight back to the city lord's mansion and held a grand banquet, inviting all the nobles, wealthy merchants, and all kinds of celebrities to have fun.

To be honest, Pamalat's pretentiousness was still somewhat useful, and seeing the city lord calmly holding a banquet, the panic of the whole city suddenly weakened a lot.

The captain of the guard followed the order of His Excellency the Duke to convene the top of the city defense army, and even the leaders of the caravans, to arrange the city defense.

To say that the strength of the entire Blackgrass City at this time is still quite considerable.

Blackgrass City was originally a border city, so the number of city defense troops exceeded three thousand, and among the major caravans stranded here, there were also quite a few mercenaries, adding up to two thousand.

Besides, the Duke of Pamalat's guard has three hundred high-ranking knights, and with such a military force gathered together, in the mind of the captain of the guard, there is no problem in escorting the Duke away.

It's a pity that the Duke doesn't care about his plans, it's a pity.

Under the arrangement of the captain of the guard, half of the troops are arranged on the towering wall of Blackgrass City, and the other half of the troops are stationed in the hidden soldier cave under the city wall, as for the guards, in addition to the one hundred people who protect the duke, the rest of the two hundred knights are full of mobility, and where there is danger, then these knights will be deployed.

The little devils are also willing to kill the enemy in the face of the city wall about 20 meters high, after all, although they have a pair of bat wings, they can bounce up to four meters at most, not even half of the city wall, how can they rush up the city wall.

In desperation, the little devils could only surround Blackgrass City, looking at the humans who appeared on the city wall from time to time, licking their tongues greedily, dreaming that they could kill the city wall and get a piece of delicious flesh and blood.

After a day of siege, there was no movement on or under the city walls, and the only movement was that those high-ranking knights pulled their strong bows from time to time and shot the little devils under the city at will, trying to intimidate the enemy in this way.

But these human beings are too ignorant of the habits of demons, if they charge head-on, they may be able to kill these little bad demons in fear and escape, but this kind of shooting can only make the simple brains of the little bad devils think that these humans are very cowardly, they only dare to hide on the towering city wall and sneak attack, and do not dare to come down to fight.
