Chapter 491: Passionate Lord "Intruder!"
When one of the little demons first spotted the humans in rudimentary leather armor with torches, they immediately shouted and turned around and ran.
"Damn, it's been discovered!
Rush straight in!
And after being spotted by the little devil, these humans, who were not so much warriors as farmers, raised their weapons and charged into the depths of this cave.
"Kill the intruders!
Kill!
Kill!
Soon the little devil who had rushed into the cave was back in front of the human again, and behind him, at least fifty or sixty little demons appeared in the corner of the winding and cold cavern.
"Kill these damn demons!
They are the ones who make the crops wither!
"Although they are armed with all kinds of weapons, these humans are not warriors after all, and their reasons for fighting have spoken of their profession, but even if they are only farmers with simple training, they have no mercy on these monsters that endanger the crops.
The semi-automatic rifles that had been first equipped for the local troops began to crackle loudly in the cave, and the tall farmers at the front of the line desperately fended off the little devils with their grease-soaked wooden shields covered with raw leather.
The half-baked farmer, who had undergone simple training, actually pressed the demon back into the depths of the cave at the beginning, and after dropping a dozen corpses, the little devils retracted into the cave in hellish language.
The peasants were overjoyed to see this, and in their opinion, if they did this three or two more times, the monsters that had plagued them for months could be completely eliminated.
But when the farmers chased the little devil into the depths of the cave with high spirits.
What was waiting for them was not a shivering little demon, a mid-level demon with a stature similar to that of an ordinary human was standing in the underground hall with a blood-red broadsword full of jagged teeth, waiting for their arrival.
"Kill!
Kill!
In the excited cry of the little devil, the intermediate demon crashed into the farmer's team like lightning, the wooden shield did not play any role in blocking the intermediate demon with strong physical strength, and the rifle in the farmer's hand became inferior to the burning stick at close range, and they remembered the danger of the demon when they were disturbed by the demon.
The ferocious-looking broadsword was swept away in a single sweep, and three farmers fell to the ground screaming with blood.
The morale of the farmers who had been in high spirits fell to a low point in an instant, and a few of these farmers began to flee or raise their weapons to prepare for a counterattack, while the vast majority just stood in place, watching the demon easily kill a fallen farmer with a large knife, and then walked towards the other two.
"You're all going to die!"
The mid-level demon raised his broadsword and said to the farmers, and after saying that, the blood-stained weapon had slashed at a farmer who had fallen to the ground and was moaning weakly.
The farmers looked desperately at the big sword in the demon's hand, and at the last moment, a bow and arrow screeched through the gap between the farmers and nailed to the shoulder of the intermediate demon.
"Ahh The demon who was about to kill was sent upside down by a powerful arrow, and before he could see the enemy who had attacked him, a man's cold voice had reached his ears.
"Ice Cream Gun!"
At the same time as the voice, which was not the lingua franca of humanity, appeared, a three-meter-long ice spear that exuded cold air slashed over the heads of the farmers and pounced on the demon, and before the demon could get up, the next moment, the spear had already pierced the demon's chest and pinned him to the ground.
The demon with great vitality struggled weakly like a worm nailed to the ground, and at the same time as the situation was reversed in an instant, a somewhat reckless but courageous voice came from behind the farmer.
"Get out of the way, everybody!
Let me help you!
At the same time as the knight Atri made a sound, he had already squeezed away the farmers who were in a daze and rushed towards the demons, and the knight who drew his long sword slaughtered in the small demon group like a meat grinder, and at the same time, the other members of the Star of Light also appeared inside the cave, and soon under the attack of seven strong young men, this small demon lair was completely wiped out.
When the knight Atri raised his sword and smashed the hell circle with a single sword, the farmer erupted in excited cheers.
"It's the Brave!
It's the brave man of the Bright Star!
The peasants surrounded the star of light and thanked them constantly, and for a time the peasants worshipped these brave men who had been sung by the bards and who had saved their lives.
In this way, after disposing of the demon's corpse and then taking the wounded and dead farmers, the Star of Light was surrounded by the farmers and returned to their village.
After returning to the village, the farmers learned from their relatives that the Star of Light had passed through the village after they had set out to conquer the demons, and at the request of the peasant woman, who feared for the safety of her family, the Star of Light immediately rushed to the demon's lair outside the village to rescue them.
Although two farmers eventually died in this somewhat reckless action, the villagers' gratitude to the Light Star did not diminish in the slightest.
In the face of the gracious situation, the Star of Light ended up staying in the village for the night, and the next morning, the Star of Light traveled to the castle where the lord lived under the guidance of the villagers, who knew the way well.
After lunch, Lord Childe Taylor received the unexpected news that the Bright Star, a prominent group of heroes on the continent, had arrived at his castle and asked to see him.
Childe was very happy about the unexpected visit of the brave, knowing that the brave are now the most glorious profession on the continent, and as long as he has anything to do with them, his reputation will become much better.
Because of this, the Star of Light was soon brought into the castle, and Child Taylor, a middle-aged man with some fortune, stepped down from his lord's throne and personally waited at the door to greet these young but powerful warriors.
After a few pleasantries, the Heroes took their seats in the Hall of Lords of House Taylor, and after that, Child Taylor asked Atri, the most famous knight of the Star of Light, about their purpose for coming here.
"That's right, recently we accidentally entered the interior of the Imperial Defense Line, where we met Lord Lord Rodnik, and we learned from him that after the demons crossed the defense line and appeared on the mainland, they would build nests to affect the nearby environment, and the reduction in crops in various territories on the continent this year was because of the demon's lair, so we wanted to form an army dedicated to clearing the demon's lair to save the world......"

After Atri stated their purpose, I was going to start to persuade the lord to help them, but I didn't expect him to continue talking about what he had just planned, and Childe Taylor, who was sitting on the throne, slapped his thigh and stood up.
"Your Excellency, what are you?"
Atri watched in surprise as the excited Childe Taylor rushed towards him, and before the knight could react to the situation, the chubby middle-aged lord had already grabbed the knight's hands.
"You came at the right time!
I've recently been looking for exactly where the root causes of crop wilting in my territory are.
Since these things are the work of the devil, it will be easy to do, whether you ask for money or manpower, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!
Excited, Child Taylor patted his chest and assured the Braves, who were overwhelmed by his unexpected enthusiasm, and finally left the Taylor family's castle after leaving their contact information.
After the brave men left, Child Taylor excitedly called the butler, and a bottle of precious wine from two hundred years ago was opened, and drunk to the lord's not-so-pleasant humming.
"Master, if you make such an unlimited promise to the brave, I'm afraid you will be reprimanded at the family meeting."
The butlers who had followed Childe for many years, like every noble butler should do, had an important duty to advise the lords on their actions.
"You know, this kind of thing is a very good thing, but the point is not in the brave or the demon, but in the Duke of Rodnik."
Child Taylor had begun to get a little drunk from the effects of alcohol, and his originally fair face was now rosy.
After hearing the old butler's words, Childe said proudly, and when the butler heard this, he naturally continued to ask.
"The one from Rodnik?
That is now a first-class man in the Empire, and besides, he seems to have had a holiday with us?
The old butler asked Childe cautiously, the matter of giving up resistance to the orcs and causing the Rodnik to suffer has now become a problem for the two families of Taylor and Garcia, and only a few people dare to mention it.
"That adult won't care about this kind of little thing, all these years have tormented us are the two ladies of the adult, let me tell you, no one can offend women in this life, they have been holding grudges for too long, oh, where did you just say, by the way, please the demon army, this is good news, since it was the lord who leaked the news to those little fools, then it means that the empire really has no spare power to take care of those demons running around, and it is completely legal for us to build an army to fight demons now, There is no need to worry that the empire will punish us with laws that weaken the armament of the nobles, as long as we have troops in our hands, what is the empire, even if it is a warship, I can build it, and I still need to care about it when the time comes......"
Childe babbled and fell asleep, and the old butler had to go and get a blanket and cover the lord who seemed to be dreaming some kind of sweet dream, and then slowly withdrew from the study.
The door to the lord's study was slowly closed, and the lord was left alone, muttering something while dreaming.
