"Awwww—"
A low roar came from outside Reed City.
A giant wolf with a body length of more than three meters and a single horn on its head stood on the opposite side of the city gate. Its hair was all purple, and its pupils were golden. Just by looking at its appearance, you can feel its unique majesty.
The sound wave alone has considerable magic power, and the momentum of a strong man is beginning to show.
That is a realm that is out of reach for the people of Reed City, and it can be called the crisis incarnation of disaster.
C-level monster—Wind Demonic Wolf.
Beside this demon wolf, a man in a cloak stood there.
"Hmph, luckily I made some extra preparations; otherwise my plan would have been ruined."
"This small town is still mine."
Brutal auras emerged behind him. There were dozens of E-level monsters, three of which reached D-level.
Afterwards, there are hundreds of lower-level monsters.
These monsters all wore the same collars and looked at the town not far away with a fierce look in their eyes.
······
The lord of this city, Lildo Reed, took a breath of cold air as he looked at the scene outside the city gate.
A large number of monsters suddenly appeared outside the city gate, and one of them was even C-level.
Despite the considerable distance, Lierdo could still feel a sense of oppression.
It was a high-risk monster that Reed City had not seen for a long time, equivalent to the strength of an intermediate magician.
If the cloaked man outside didn't look down on them and gave the people in the city time to prepare, he wouldn't even be able to get here, and the city gate would be captured.
Lierdo barely controlled his trembling body and looked at the middle-aged man aside.
"Mr. Willy, can you defeat that wolf?"
Willy is an intermediate magician who was invited from another city to take charge. He just arrived today. He was a guest at the city lord's mansion not long ago. He is also the only one who has hope to save this small city.
Willy frowned, "I am a pure magician and not good at close combat. If someone can block it for me for a while and let me prepare my magic, there may be hope."
He actually regretted coming here, but as the only combat power at the same level, he had to go; after all, he had received the benefits.
Generally speaking, when humans and monsters fight enemies, they always fight one more.
People who are good at physical enhancement are needed to stop the monsters, and then let the defenders perform powerful magic attacks.
The human body is very fragile, and magicians who specialize in magic are not even much stronger than ordinary people.
After hearing this, Lierdo's eyes were filled with sadness.
In this case, there is only one way to defend this city.
That is to sacrifice the life of the guard to stop the magic wolf so that Willy has time to prepare magic.
Although many adventurers came, they were not his subordinates after all, and they might not use all their strength to protect themselves.
"How about it, are you ready?"
This hateful sound was made by the cloaked man who took away this disaster. He used a sound transmission magic tool to amplify his voice: "The monsters around me can't wait any longer."
Lierdo didn't have such convenient props, so he could only shout loudly: "Why did you attack Reed City?"
"Of course it's to prove."
The man in the cloak said matter-of-factly, "How can you prove your strength without destroying a city?"
It makes no sense at all; that person is not normal.
Lierduo's eyes became sharp, and he raised his sword to signal his soldiers.
The next moment, the soldiers who had gathered here to protect the city rushed out, and they rushed towards the monster group with the determination to die.
Despite the gap in strength, they still used their hard-earned sword skills and bravely launched attacks.
The strength of the adventurers is relatively high. Although they are not as orderly as the soldiers, they kill deeper.
However, such an attack has no effect on the monster group.
After a round of offense, there were not many monsters that fell down.
This left the soldiers and adventurers helpless and retreating steadily.
Lierduo was worried, but he had no choice.
There are three D-class monsters on the opposite side, and there is only one junior magician on their side.
There are no other reinforcements that can be sent out.
The sound of the bell spread throughout Reed City, and the people in the city were paying attention to the outcome of this battle. He did not dare to think about what would happen if he failed.
The four members of Thor's team managed to hold down two E-class monsters. This was already their limit.
Captain Thor shouldered most of the pressure of the two monsters' offensive at the same time. Pad and Aido were stalling on the side. Eudora could only harass, and her bows and arrows were basically ineffective.
Several people thought of the same boy at the same time. If he were here, it would have been done long ago.
On another battlefield, Kai and several colleagues forcefully dragged down an E-class monster. Most of the pressure was on him. Every blow was so hard that he suspected he would faint, but he managed to hold on until now.
He thought about his elder brother, but even he couldn't turn the tide of the battle. The existence of C-level monsters was really disappointing.
People outside the city are fighting beyond their limits, but their efforts only make the destined end come later.
...if no powerful reinforcements appear.
"I feel like I can't hold on any longer."
A young man stood on the city gate, looking at the battle outside the city, and said so.
Lierdo suddenly realized that there was someone beside him and exclaimed, "Who are you?"
Only Lierdo and two soldiers were left at the city gate now. The rest had already gone to the city gate, ready to deal with the inactive D-class and C-class monsters.
The soldiers realized something was wrong and quickly surrounded the boy with weapons.
Rey looked at the sharp weapon in front of him, his expression still calm. "My name is Rey; you may know it."
"Rey?" Lierdo didn't think about it for a moment.
The two soldiers did know.
"Rey, isn't he the boy who does all kinds of evil?"
"But recently I heard that he did some good things and saved people. I don't know if it's true or not."
Lierdo remembered it. He seemed to have heard of this name. He was not a good person, but Vincent had said a lot of good things about him recently. In short, he would not be an enemy.
He motioned for the soldiers to lower their weapons.
One person hesitated and said, "Sir, although this person did not leave any evidence, he is really not a good person."
Lierdo asked, "Rey, this is the most critical moment for Reed City. What are you doing here?"
"What else can I do? Of course I'm here to help." Rey said casually.
Seeing his attitude, a soldier who was originally hostile to him said angrily, "You usually don't getfor doing bad things, but today you dare to waste the Lord's time at this time. Do you want to die?"
Rey ignored him and looked at the city lord. "The junior magicians and above have not yet entered the battlefield, so we have formed a tacit understanding.
But your soldiers seem to be unable to hold on.
I can save them.
Once I take action, the other side will also send higher combat power.
You are the city lord; what do you think?"
Lierdo smiled bitterly, "If you can do it, of course I hope you will take action directly. In fact, there is no tacit understanding at all, but I have no one under me, and the person I called is only willing to stop opponents of the same level as myself."
"I understand. After all, this is the place where I was born. I will lend you my power once."
Just as the soldier was about to say something, a small wind blade cut open the weapon in his hand, leaving a bloody opening on his neck.
He saved his life and looked at the young man in horror.
Rumor has it that he does all kinds of evil, and at such a young age, he is actually a junior magician.
Lierdo was also shocked, as if a shot of cardiotonic was injected into his heart.
Rey never glanced at the soldier from beginning to end; his magic power surged up, he jumped down from the city wall, and he went straight towards the group of monsters.
