Following.

Dawn had just broken and the heavy rain of last night had turned to a light rain that had not stopped.

On the city walls, the knight in charge of one of the enchanted giant crossbows was still vigilantly staring at the demon king's army far away.

Under the cover of the mist, the Demon King Army in the distance was like a black tide connecting the two worlds, with no end in sight, even if the attack had stopped, the Demon King Army still heard the roar of monsters from time to time.

The corpses of the monsters discarded under the city walls were piled up into a small mountain, and the heavy rain washed away all night, but it could not completely wash away the blood and water gathered outside the city, and the fortifications outside were completely destroyed, and even the thick city walls appeared gaps of different sizes.

What broke the knight's heart was that he was the only one left in his row of more than a dozen giant crossbow operators, and even the bodies of the rationed logistics personnel had already been devoured by the endless monsters.

"Sir," reminded the soldier who had just stepped up the wall, "it's time to rest." ”

The knight turned his head sharply, his eyes bloodshot in anger, startling the soldier.

"Sir! Sir! At the soldier's exclamation, the knight relented, released the crossbow, and passed out completely.

The study of the Marquis's Palace.

Also without a night of rest were the Marquis of Odyssey and her staff and henchmen.

The battle reports that came one after another last night scared them almost that the Eastern Front City would be lost overnight, and no one expected that the attack of the Demon King Army would be so fierce.

All the arrangements, under the attack of the demon king army who are not afraid of death, have become a joke.

One of the staff members tugged at his collar in an attempt to get more air into contact with his hot skin to cool it down, glanced left and right, and said, "With last night's offensive, the city we defended will ...... before the resources in the city are exhausted."

Everyone knew in their hearts that yesterday they were still struggling to make a scalp bleeding because of the untimely supply of food and grass, but today they suddenly found that the Demon King Army had no intention of besieging them to death.

"Those two demon gods haven't made a move yet."

This sentence made everyone present extremely uncomfortable.

Sitting in the back seat, the young man who looked to be in his early twenties got up and marked the two spots on the sand table.

Everyone's eyes were on him.

"As we all know, the vast majority of the expendable strength of the Demon King Army is composed of a group of low-level monsters without brains, once there is no upper level constraints, this group of monsters will collapse in a very short period of time and divide into hundreds of branches within the exile kingdom."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Odeqi, who was sitting at the top, vaguely guessed the young man's thoughts.

"This is the location of the Demon God General that we have speculated based on the size of the Demon King's army and the classification of monsters." The young man pointed to the two points marked just now and said: "We only need to send a strong man to decapitate once, once successful, the entire demon king army will be leaderless, and the demon god will not be able to control the army, and will only be torn apart." ”

Everyone was silent, the young man was right, as long as he could kill the demon god general, everything was easy to say.

After killing the Demon God General, the Demon King Army was scattered into hundreds to scourge the towns in the kingdom, and it was not their business, at most, a commission would be issued in the Adventurers' Guild, so that those mercenary adventurers could exterminate the remnants of the army.

Well, just like last time.

If you can't kill the Demon God, you will ...... It was the strong men and heritage of the garrison on the Eastern Front who died, so how can it be done.

"My lord," the gray-haired staff suggested to Odyssey, "It's not easy to train the strong in the army, so why don't you recruit civilian adventurers to help?" ”

"I agree, didn't I hear yesterday that there was a powerful man who could slash trolls with a single sword? The powerhouses of other forces can also let them contribute to the coalition army by moving them with affection and reason, no, to protect the people in the kingdom. ”

Odeqi pondered for a moment and looked at the knight who was speechless, "Where is the list of adventurers that asked you to count yesterday?" ”

"My lord," the knight knelt down on one knee, "the rain was too strong yesterday, and the statistical work was seriously hindered, only about one-third of the statistics were counted. ”

"Did you find the girl?"

"The statistician has been separately told about his appearance characteristics, and once he finds the other party's residence, he will notify us as soon as possible."

——————

Nita was awakened by a sharp knock on the door, and she got up in a daze, to find that she had already finished washing up, and was sitting at the table reading a book, and Noelle got up to open the door.

Opening the door, a knight appeared in front of everyone, and the shiny silver armor still had rain residues, and from time to time it fell to the floor along the arc of the armor.

Seeing Noelle's appearance and the white porcelain nameplate tied around his neck, the knight's eyes lit up, "Hello, I am the official of the Marquis Mansion who is an adventurer statist. ”

"Statistics?" Nita rubbed her eyes and walked over, looking up and down, "What are you doing with statistics?" ”

The knight said: "I heard that the Marquis intends to reopen the adventurer's guild in the Eastern Front City, last night our garrison repelled the attack of the Demon King Army, and the two sides have formed a state of confrontation, and a part of the brave and fearless adventurers are needed as a supplement to the army to complete some tasks that are difficult for the coalition to complete, for this, the Marquis' Mansion will also give a generous reward." ”

"That's a nice thing to say." Nita swept the knight's notebook again, and sure enough, a large number of adventurers were registered on it.

"Nita, the lion fangs, the silver and other archers. Lying inside is the priest of the Earth Mother Temple, Qingyu, etc., whose name is Sarina. ”

After Nita finished speaking, she yawned to herself and wanted to go back to the meeting.

The knight moved the tip of his pen, and the rustle was recorded in an instant, and he looked at Noelle with expectant eyes.

Noelle always felt that something was wrong, and the way the knight looked at Nita, it was not like this.

"Noelle, Lion Tooth Squad, White Porcelain Rider...... Heavy Swordman. "Although I wanted to use the word 'knight', Noelle thought about it and changed it to a heavy swordsman.

"Thank you for your understanding." After the recording was finished, the man made a knightly salute, and instead of asking Orton's room, he hurried downstairs.

I remember, the captain's room wasn't moving. Noelle's willow brow furrowed slightly, but soon eased up, and he turned his head to look out the window at the drizzle, and thought, 'Why don't you show up now to find out the news?' ’

As soon as this idea arose, the clouds outside seemed to know Noelle's thoughts, and the light rain that was about to stop gradually became heavier.

"Alas, why is it raining so much in this hellish place on the Eastern Front." Nita didn't make it back to sleep.

Yesterday, I heard Apu talk about the brave, and Noelle felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart, and whispered: "I don't know what they do when they count the number of adventurers." ”

"Didn't they tell you very clearly, little Noelle," Nita poured herself a glass of water, "with money and so-called glory, you will be sent to die on the battlefield." ”

As she spoke, Nita looked at Noelle again, and suddenly smiled: "But little Noelle is going to the battlefield, and it's hard to say who will send him to death." ”

"No kidding." Noelle opened the book again.

In the middle of the night, Noelle's ears, who were still reading, moved, and she faintly heard the sound of rain outside the hotel.

"Sir, this is it, the person you are looking for lives in this hotel."
