"May I ask if it's Master Jiuzang, I'm from the City Lord's Mansion."
Soon, Master Jiuzang's worries became a reality, and the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion took the initiative to find the door, and it was still a secret operation after disguise.
Needless to say, this kind of behavior itself speaks to the seriousness of the problem, and there are some things that it is better not to let ordinary people know, otherwise it will cause great panic "Okay, I also happen to have some things I want to communicate with the local governor here in detail."
Although he didn't know exactly what this city lord was, since the other party was able to take the initiative to send someone to contact him, it meant that he still had at least a little grasp of the situation.
It wasn't an officially recorded meeting, but all the big names in the city had come together for a message from the cavalry scouts ahead.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you probably knew some gossip before you came, the army of demons is now gathering near the lake not far from us, and now the number has been observed to exceed 100.
These are all mature demon warriors, and they are not of the same level as the little ones you saw as sentinels before."
The first to speak was a prefect who looked like a city guard, and he showed everyone a portrait that was copied from what the human scout cavalry had seen.
Anyway, all the known demon species of mankind were seen in that painting, and there was even a scout who claimed to have seen a demon commander with a somewhat human-like image.
"Is there still a humanoid demon commander, this is a top demon clan, according to legend, every time a demon commander appears, there will be at least 300 demon soldiers under her command to serve it" "yes, yes, maybe there are still the kind of demon mages who can cast top mages, in that case, can our city's defensive barrier withstand it?"
"I think we'd better evacuate first, most of the people present are nobles, we can't die with these untouchables."
"Yes, yes, the forces in our city are already limited, so we should cover the retreat of the nobles at this time."
Human beings are such selfish creatures, and the enemy often thinks of his own interests, even at the expense of his companions.
What is even more infuriating is that these nobles are still putting gold on their faces, and this shameless betrayal is quite high-sounding.
"Alas, it looks like I'm in the wrong place today, farewell" Master Jiuzang sighed, stood up and was about to leave.
He has seen similar scenes many times, after all, these nobles are the same in their bones, and it is too naïve to expect them to defend their families and the country.
"This master, please go slowly, if you are willing to escort us out of here, we will definitely not treat you badly, you can choose the peerless beauties of gold, silver and jewelry, if you don't like these, we can also talk about other conditions" As expected, these nobles invited Master Jiuzang not to discuss how to fight the enemy, but to take a fancy to his ability and wanted to add a layer of protection to his escape.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tao is not the same" If it was for money, treasures, beautiful women, and beautiful women, Master Jiuzang would not have appeared here, and the nobles of those big cities and capitals could give much more weight than these rural nobles.
"Master Jiuzang, we are willing to follow you to defend this city" Of course, not all of you were afraid to take responsibility.
Selvey, the president of the Adventurers' Association, was the first to stand up, this is a very cute orc girl who looks like a girl, the specific age is unknown, when she saw the Jiuzang mage take the lead in standing up, she immediately got up and jumped up and followed behind this handsome mage.
"What are you doing here, are you dying, follow us nobles, your adventurer's guild can reopen in other cities, but if it folds in this city this time, there will be no power to turn over in the future, have you considered the future of your subordinates?"
The speaker was a nobleman who had a close relationship with the Adventurers' Guild, and he often issued various tasks there, and he could be regarded as a big benefactor.
"Lord Sark, thank you for taking care of our Adventurers' Guild for so many years, but we are adventurers, not cowards, there are many of our relatives and friends in this city, and it is impossible for us to give up on them and run away by ourselves" The president of the Adventure Guild may seem cute, but she is a very resolute person, and her actions bring a cool breath to this smoky aristocratic gathering.
"Hehe, I, Celestina, will not leave this city, because the magic barrier here is guarded by me, and if I leave, it will be equivalent to giving all the inhabitants to the demons."
The second to say goodbye was Miss Celestina, the president of the Magic Society, who was a standard nobleman who was not only sweet in appearance but also had saved many people by practicing white magic.
"You stupid women, do you lose your soul when you see an unknown handsome guy, this time it's the demon army, let alone 300 people, even 30 elite demons can slaughter a city without much effort" In the end, the city lord finally couldn't help it, this is a guy with a fat head and big ears, and he is also the biggest nobleman in this group.
However, as the lord of the city, once he abandoned his city and his people, he was nothing.
"As a friend and guardian of all women, my emir also said goodbye that I am a valiant warrior and will never be a coward even if I die" The appearance of role models often leads to a large number of people, and after the president of the Adventurer's Guild and the president of the Magician Guild withdrew one after another, a high-ranking warrior wearing golden armor also announced his withdrawal.
This guy called Emir is almost already the highest-ranking warrior in the city, and with him, quite a number of warriors with a sense of justice in their hearts have chosen to stay.
"You stupid guys, since you are so self-defeating, then you go and deal with the demons, even if you die, no one will collect the corpse for you, those demons will swallow all your bones, and your descendants will be forgotten by the world because of your stupidity this time" The chubby lord had obviously not expected so many people to oppose leaving, but that didn't stop them from wanting to escape.
On the contrary, in the eyes of these nobles, there are so many people who are not afraid of death in the way, and they will go more at ease and unimpeded There are always fools in this world who think they are heroes, and they don't understand the value of their existence and the value in the eyes of the nobles until the day they die Today's fifth update arrives
