……

"Matthew? Is that the necromancer Matthew? ”

"It seems to be him, and it has been rumored that he has a close relationship with Rolling Stone."

"Which Matthew are you talking about? I've only heard of one tree planter before, and his name is Matthew. ”

"I don't know, but in the northern city-states, Matthew the Destroyer's name is louder......"

in the hall.

Representatives of the major city-states whispered.

After a series of events, the name Matthew has become quite legendary.

Even ordinary civilians have heard of it, not to mention that these are representatives of the upper class in the major city-states.

Of course.

Due to the area of distribution.

Everyone has heard different legends about Matthew.

This led to a skewed impression of Matthew in the minds of the delegates.

But no matter what.

The shadow of a person's famous tree, a mage of Rolling Stone, can be famous thousands of miles away, which in itself is enough to explain a lot of things.

Plus he's a member of the Seven Saints Alliance.

There was a look of respect on everyone's faces.

Matthew's words are quite convincing.

"Master Matthew, we don't want to make trouble, we just heard this sudden news temporarily, and we want to confirm the specific situation with you."

"After all, the demon invasion is a matter of life and death for many of our cities, and I hope Your Excellency can understand."

A representative of a chubby Northland city-state took the initiative to step up and make a round.

Matthew said lightly:

"Understandable."

"If you still have concerns, you can leave on your own, but I must warn that there are indeed many demons active outside the city, and it may be more dangerous to leave now."

"As for the founding ceremony of the Rolling Stone Kingdom, everything is going on as usual for now, and we have the ability to solve all emergencies."

That's all that is said and done.

He turned around and walked deeper into the hall.

It just came at this time.

Seve in full costume stepped down the hallway.

Matthew took a picture with her.

Seve is dressed quite amazingly today, which has attracted the attention of many people.

Many men, especially young men, looked at each other with great eagerness, hoping that the princess of the Rolling Stones Kingdom would take a look at them.

However, to their disappointment.

Sif's attention was always on Matthew.

"They're in the council chamber next door, the one near the watchtower."

As soon as Seve saw Matthew, she knew what he was coming from, and opened her mouth to remind him softly.

Matthew nodded.

"Hurry up, father and Uncle Zeller are waiting for you."

Today's Seve is as gentle as a little sheep, and she speaks softly, eager to put her mouth to Matthew's ear:

"Leave it to me here."

Matthew felt a little relieved in his heart.

Seve was still very reliable at the critical moment, and she knew what she had to do.

If there wasn't a single Rhaegar in charge.

It may be difficult for the representatives of these foreign city-states to calm down.

In this case at the moment.

Only Sifu is the most suitable to come forward to appease.

Matthew glanced back at the crowd and was relieved to see that little Parton was among them.

He made eye contact with little Parton.

Then he suddenly took a deep look at Moreira, the lord of the Red Clay Mountains.

The latter's body shuddered.

The pupils constricted violently.

Matthew left without looking back.

Seve watched as Matthew's figure disappeared into the hallway.

When she turned around.

The gentle and sweet smile on his face suddenly turned into a cold and elegant expression.

She took the initiative to talk to the delegates.

Sif's posture and etiquette are impeccable, and she is also very mature in dealing with people, giving people a feeling of being taken seriously.

Compare it to the previous conversation with Matthew.

There was always a sense of detachment in her body.

It is precisely because of this unique temperament that Seve is even more charming.

Many of the city-state's representatives subconsciously wanted to talk to her for a while.

It's a pity that Seve behaves equally.

Everyone took care of a few words, but only a few words.

After a round of chatting.

Seve gracefully gestured to pull away for the time being.

When walking down the hallway.

She saw that the young Lord of the Red Clay Mountains was covering his back with his shirt and walking strangely in the direction of the locker room.

Sif took a step forward.

Little Parton suddenly appeared next to him:

"Matthew has already taught him a lesson."

Seve smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon:

"That share is Matthew's."

"My retainers, it's up to me to train myself."

When he said this.

Her body exudes an awe-inspiring temperament.

Little Parton shrank his head and hurriedly got out of the way:

"Don't overdo it."

"I mean...... At least he had to be spared, right? ”

Seve snorted and walked away.

West side of the hall.

VIP locker room.

Moreira changed into a brand new outfit, but her face was clouded.

He looked at the soaked pants on the ground with hatred on his face.

"It's the Mindset, the standard necromancer's method, that can shock a person's soul and amplify the fear in your heart."

An old mage beside Moreira said solemnly:

"Master Matthew has shown mercy."

Moreira said indignantly:

"Why did he do this to me?!"

"I didn't say anything wrong!"

"I just asked the same question as everyone else!"

The old mage was silent.

Perhaps knowing that he was not qualified to deal with Matthew at all, Moreira directly pointed the finger at the old mage:

"What did you say before you came?"

"You said you were good at protective spells and could protect my safety!"

"In fact? You watched while I was being cleaned by the necromancer! Even if I lose face, the glory of the Red Earth Mountain can be said to be ruined today! ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, his face swollen to the color of pig liver, and he punched the wardrobe several times in succession.

There was a slight break in the wardrobe.

The old mage whispered:

"Not many people noticed ...... just now"

Immediately, a wry smile appeared on his face:

"And I'm just a wild mage, and the other party heard that he is a disciple of the Seven Sages......"

Moreira said irritably:

"I don't want to hear these excuses!"

"Can you do it? If you can't do it, get out! ”

A shadow flashed in the old mage's eyes, but he still said in a deep voice:

"As long as it's not against Matthew."

"I'll protect you."

Moreira stomped hatefully:

"You'd better be able to!"

The voice fell.

The locker room door was suddenly pushed open.

The old mage instinctively made a vigilant posture, but when he saw the person clearly, his state relaxed slightly.

"Miss Sivie?"

Moreira was somewhat surprised.

He tugged at his clothes, trying to make himself look neater.

His impression of Seve is still very good.

However, Sity's eyes were serious and cold:

"First, call me Princess."

"Second, you smashed my favorite closet!"

She pointed to the dilapidated wardrobe next to her.

Moreira's face was stunned:

"Then I'll buy a ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, a sharp pain came from the roof of his jaw.

Smack!

Moreira's front teeth are knocked off by a punch from Siv!

"Stop!"

The old mage next to him reacted at this time, and he lifted the staff in his hand.

"You want to do it to me, too?"

Seve sneered.

A few seconds later.

There were a few wails and slight movements in the locker room.

Less than thirty seconds.

Seve walked out of the locker room with graceful movements.

He also carried two spittoons with unique shapes in his hands.

She carried two spittoons to the hall where the delegates were.

Then they were placed next to the couch.

Little Patton came up again:

"You didn't do anything to them, did you?"

Seve looked innocent:

"Do I look like such a fierce woman?"

Parton shuddered, not daring to say anything more.

Seve lifted her skirt slightly and walked away with ladylike steps.

Little Parton looked at the couch:

"Huh?"

"I've never seen this spittoon before."

"But it's a good place to put it here......"

After speaking.

He spat a mouthful of phlegm into it.

The spittoon twitched slightly.

Seeing this, the other guests did the same, rummaging through the garbage and throwing it into the spittoon.

It didn't take long.

The two spittoons were stuffed to the brim.

……

New Chamber.

Matthew quickly made his way through a lightly decorated hallway to the makeshift tactical command room.

There are several crystal balls in the room.

The crystal ball presents the image information observed by the watchtower in real time——

That's the situation in the northeast of the Rolling Stones Kingdom.

There were already quite a few people standing in the chamber.

Rhaeggar, Zeller, Richard and others are in close talks.

Matthew walked in.

Everyone looked at him with concern.

"How?"

Rhaegar, who had already put on his full body armor, greeted him with a serious face.

As before Matthew and they passed through the air.

So everyone guessed that the demons might come to make trouble, but they didn't expect such a big battle.

According to normal thinking.

The founding ceremony should be postponed.

It's up to everyone to fight the impending demonic invasion.

However, Matthew's statement is unusually resolute:

"Have your troops go up the walls to the north, and have two cavalry and fire bats ready to stand guard on the side of the secret gate, ready to support."

"The Southern Sect Legion and my troops will become the main force on the frontal battlefield, and you only need to assist in the defense and delay when necessary."

"The founding ceremony doesn't have to be postponed, and it can just let the representatives of those city-states see our strength."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

"There are quite a few demons here this time......

Richard couldn't help but remind.

Matthew smiled:

"Necromancers are never afraid of too many enemies."

Zeller nodded slightly:

"We believe in you."

"Just do as you say."

Rhaegar hesitated for a few seconds, then patted Matthew on the shoulder.

"Then it's up to you to lay out the specific battle plan."

Rhaegar placed a map of the area around Rolling Rock in front of Matthew.

Matthew shook his head:

"I don't know anything about military affairs, and it's up to you to decide the defense plan for Rolling Stone."

"You just need to know that after the first round of fighting, the morale of the demons will inevitably drop to freezing point, and they will have sporadic and small forces close to the walls of Rolling Stone, you just need to destroy them, it should not be difficult."

"As for the first round and later, as long as there are no big surprises, the demons should not be able to touch the walls of Rolling Stone."

Everyone looked at each other.

What Matthew said was so unbelievable that it was whimsical for others to be scolded.

But because he's Matthew.

He's a mage.

Everyone could only nod silently.

"But we must be prepared to fight the demons for a long time."

Matthew reminded:

"The demon lord Eisner seems to have mastered the channel of stable invasion of the material realm, and there may be frequent demon armies in the northeast in the future."

"It just so happens that the Southern Mage Legion may be the army that knows the most about demons in this world, and when it comes to assisting in defense operations, it is best for our own troops to take the opportunity to learn more about their methods."

Rhaegar said she understood.

Then he asked:

"Then I'll inform the people below that the ceremony is going on as usual?"

"Let the representatives of the other city-states also go to the viewing platform?"

Matthew thought for a moment:

"Anyway, today is the first day, and the viewing platform is also a warm-up program, so it's better to let them go directly to the city wall!"

"Well, the brave can go up to the wall, and the faint enough can invite them to come to the watchtower."

"I just prepared a program for this ceremony, and no one has cooperated with this program yet, but now it has it, let everyone come and see it!"

After speaking.

He explained a few more details to Rhaegar and the others, and then hurriedly left the council chamber.

Matthew then summoned the brute Sanger and handed him a temporary letter.

"Hurry to the Jade Garden, if you can't find Terlast, go to Beana, if you can't find either of you, go to Terrany, you know their address."

Matthew's stern admonition.

The minotaur spirit patted his chest and said:

"Are you looking for helpers? Rest assured, I'm the best at this. ”

"When the Minotaur tribe perished, I was responsible for finding rescuers, but I escaped all the way and accidentally ran into the underworld, but unfortunately, if I hadn't run the wrong way, I might have been able to move to the rescue......

Matthew was speechless.

After sending Sanger away.

He went to the Sanctuary of Life and then to the Cemetery, where he met with Obest and Ali respectively.

He said to Obester:

"Evacuate all the people, move closer to Rolling Stone, and prepare to meet the small number of demon deserters."

As for Ali.

Matthew's command is simpler:

"All mobilized."

"Ready to take off!"

……

In the afternoon.

There are many more figures on the northern walls of Rolling Stone.

There were many bold representatives of the major city-states, and at least half of them expressed their willingness to climb the city walls to see how Matthew, the guardian of the Rolling Stones Kingdom, prepared to face the demon army.

Their audacity is not without reason.

Didn't you see that Her Royal Highness the princess of the Rolling Stone Kingdom was also standing with them?

And compared to the city walls.

The crowds near the city gate are even denser.

Although the garrison has been evacuating, trying to move the civilians watching the excitement from the north to the south.

But the festive atmosphere is there.

The garrison is limited in manpower.

There are still many civilians moving around the city wall, and some even want to climb the city wall to find out—

At noon.

News of a possible invasion of Rolling Rock by an army of demons has spread.

But most people are still optimistic.

The main thing is that the walls of Rolling Rock City are more than 20 meters high, giving people a strong sense of security.

It is said that this is only the prototype of the construction of the Southern Magic Division.

The real walls will stretch many times on this foundation!

But even so.

The sense of security brought by the high walls and the prestige of the Rolling Stones Kingdom in the Mossy Hills still stabilize the hearts of the people in the city.

Especially when rumors spread.

Lord Matthew, the guardian of the Rolling Stones Kingdom, will personally strike after the demon army.

More people rushed towards the city walls with curiosity.

Now.

Many people gathered near the outer three layers of the city wall.

They were talking about the invasion of demons, as if they didn't realize how terrible the monsters they were talking about!

Feel this unbelievable emotion.

Patton on the wall once again showed an envious expression.

Can be fast.

He was caught by the dark shadow that appeared in the northeast!

The endless wasteland began to tremble slightly.

As the sun gradually sets to the west.

Demons with hideous faces rushed from the direction of the horizon.

Barton's expression was extremely serious.

As an experienced experience of the Battle of Wolf Mountain, he was the one who was most qualified to express his feelings about fighting demons.

Meantime.

After that fiasco, he also learned as much as he could about the demons.

He had a good look in his eyes.

It didn't take long to read a lot of useful information from the first demons that appeared!

"The advance team of the demon army is actually composed of four legions?"

"This shows that the number of coalition forces behind them is more than twenty legions!"

"At the heart of every legion is the Archdemon Overseer."

"The four Great Demon Overseers of the advance team kept a good distance from each other, and although the demons were chaotic by nature and difficult to restrain themselves, it was rare that these four legions were able to maintain relative order as a whole while marching......

Barton whispered his opinion to the two companions beside him.

Gavin's expression was equally solemn.

He seemed to sense Barton's desperation on the battlefield of Wolf Mountain.

Alena is even more discolored.

She had already begun to think about how she would escape from these hideous and ugly demons in case Rolling Rock City was destroyed!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

On the other side of the horizon, the earth-shattering drums of war were heard.

The drums are not dense.

But it hits the heart straight to the heart.

Everyone who heard the drums felt as if their hearts had been chiseled hard.

It was a depressing feeling.

Soon.

The atmosphere above and below the city wall has become solemn and depressing.

Some of the representatives of the city-states retreated silently from the walls.

Even if it's still standing there.

Most of the complexions also become unpleasant.

"It's scary......"

"Every demon is as tall as two people?"

"I heard they can fly?"

"How can this be kept?"

Such whispers came from up and down the walls.

Barton glanced at Princess Sif who was standing at the front.

He wanted to see even a hint of worry on the other person's face.

However, no.

Seve had a faint smile on her face throughout.

She really didn't seem to be afraid of those demons.

Barton frowned.

He didn't understand where Siff's confidence came from.

Is it just the necromancer who hasn't become a legend yet?

Barton knew Matthew was strong.

But.

Are these demons from the abyss really something that a mage can resist?

"Ah——!h

Just as Barton frowned and pondered.

A sudden scream came from above his head.

A child fell from a watchtower above the city walls!

Fortunately, Barton has a quick eye.

An arrow rushed over and held him firmly.

The child fell into Barton's arms, his face still frightened, and he stumbled and couldn't even say a word.

Barton glanced up.

I guessed that the child probably wanted to climb to the watchtower out of curiosity to see what the demons in the mouths of the adults looked like, but he was frightened by the momentum of the demon army and fell down unexpectedly.

Present.

He steadily lowered the child on the city wall:

"Go back to your family, kid."

"It's not safe here."

The child nodded in confusion.

He stiffened and turned to leave.

I didn't go very far.

He ran back again:

"My lord, I saw those demons ......"

"Can we really win?"

Barton was momentarily speechless.

He didn't know how to answer, so he chose to remain silent.

The child seemed to understand something, and lowered his head to run away.

And yet at this very moment.

Everyone on the city wall suddenly discovered—

It was getting overcast.

No!

It's not that it's getting overcast.

It's something in the sky that blocks the sun's rays!

They instinctively raised their heads, and then opened their mouths wide in unison.

That moment.

All the inhabitants of Rolling Rock and the representatives of the city-states outside the city showed stunned expressions.

They stared in the direction above their heads.

There......

It's a mountain!

The mountain is densely packed with tombstones!

……

I'm sorry, the insomnia has been severe in the past two days, and there have been symptoms of palpitation and shortness of breath, similar symptoms have appeared before, about myocarditis, and the physical condition is really not good, so I can only try to write a little. In fact, I also want to write this paragraph in one go, because this kind of scene must be described in a lot of foreshadowing and side description, if there is a small number of words, everyone will look unhappy, you scold the water I understand, but I can only write like this, if there is not enough side and foreshadowing, the final result will be boring, mainly less or less, my fault. I've worked hard to adjust for two days, and I'll try to make up for the number of words I owe before, sorry again, kowtow!
