Arcane Lord

Three days later, a ragged knight came from the south and rushed straight to the south gate of Jilan Town. But not only him, but also the horse seemed to have reached the limit of physical fitness, and the speed became slower and slower. In the end, the whole man withered along with the horse. Suddenly fell down.

He collapsed not far from the south gate of Jilan Town. Then there was a commotion within the wall, and one of the voices shouted: "Hurry up and open the door! That's the scout sent to the southern forest! Hurry up!"

With a creak, the heavy wooden door opened, and a figure rushed out first, heading straight to the scout's location. Unfortunately, when he arrived, the scout only left his last words -

"Orcs, orcs have arrived at Baiyang Village!"

What? ! The team leader who was the first to rush out was shocked and quickly asked his subordinates who arrived later to help move the scout's body back, while he himself ran all the way into the town.

…

Keelan Town Council.

Priest Valisi and Lord Cooper sat side by side at the top, and below were representatives from various villages and towns in the rear, as well as Erwin, the leader of the Brotherhood of Holy Light.

While others were making noise, Erwin did not speak out. He had been prepared to sacrifice since he came here. Everything was just to allow the members and supporters of the Brotherhood of Holy Light to live openly in the sunshine. Walk freely.

As a Disciple of the Light.

The main issue being debated in the council room at this time was that someone must go to the east to stop the orcs on the plains, so that they would not scatter after failing to attack Jilan Town and cause greater damage.

When going to the plains to fight the orcs head-on, humans have almost no chance of winning. It can be said that these people are sent to die, and they must be willing to die instead of escaping halfway.

Naturally, every village and town will have some elite soldiers who dare to fight to the death, but who is really willing to use these nearly established soldiers to waste them?

Priest Valisi watched Lord Cooper verbally exchange words with the representatives of the villages and towns behind him, while using the corner of his vision to observe Erwin sitting in the corner.

Since the arrival of the rebel leader who had already been on the blacklist three days ago, he has been quiet and has not resisted his arrangements at all. Priest Valisi even had some doubts about this. Is this Erwin himself? Or his stand-in?

Just as everyone was arguing and the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense, a series of shouts came from the direction of the square not far away - "Emergency information from the south, I want to see the priest and the lord, don't block the way!"

Priest Wallisi's mind was not on the debate in the meeting hall. He vaguely heard someone shouting emergency information from the south, which made him a little nervous.

Several groups of scouts were sent before, but the people disappeared and the demon brought no news. What news will be this time?

Just as he was thinking about it, the voice became clearer and clearer. Many of the town gate guards knew him. At this time, he shouted that there was urgent information. For a moment, no one dared to stop him, so he rushed to the meeting hall.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone who was still arguing inside stopped and turned their attention to the team leader. He swallowed his saliva and felt a little nervous. He first glanced at the others, and then looked at Priest Valisi, as if Are you talking about it, right here?

"Speak!" Priest Valisi asked eagerly.

Anyway, the attack of the orcs is not a secret. Ordinary villagers and townspeople have already evacuated to the rear. Depending on the situation, they can cross the river at any time and go to the west bank of the Netheril River for temporary refuge. At this moment, the town of Kilan is full of combatants, or fighting with the orcs. Personnel-related support staff.

"Yes, sir."

After receiving permission, the team leader quickly said the last words he had just heard from the scout, "The orcs have arrived at Baiyang Village!"

With a flick of the brush, nearly half of the people in the meeting hall, including Priest Valisi and Paladin Erwin, all stood up in unison. It was really——

Baiyang Village is already the nearest village to the south of Jilan Town!

"Get ready for battle immediately!" Priest Wallisi's sharp eyes swept over everyone in the meeting hall, "Someone from the east must pass, otherwise you will be the unlucky one!"

However, at this time, although other representatives were impatient, no one was willing to take the initiative to speak. Whether the farmland was destroyed and people died of starvation, or soldiers died in battle, it actually did not have much impact on them.

On the contrary, the death of soldiers in battle may have a greater impact on them!

However, their thoughts must not be exposed, because most of the soldiers were farmers' sons, and one of the reasons they dared to fight to the death was that the superiors were willing to stabilize their farm assets.

Otherwise, why should we fight?

And this is exactly where domination comes from!

The representatives hesitated, but Erwin did not hesitate. This might be his opportunity, so he took a step forward, faced the representatives, and said with a serious expression:

"The Brotherhood of Holy Light is willing to go to the east of Kilan Town to stop the orcs, but we alone are far from enough. We need more warriors!"

Several representatives suddenly showed expressions of surprise. Frankly speaking, in the current situation, these rebellious people with holy power are best used as auxiliary and more useful.

but--

Priest Valisi glanced at the representative wearing priest uniforms, exchanged glances without any trace, and then said: "Yes, but the warriors who go to the east must do so voluntarily. You cannot force them, especially you cannot use Your sorcery bewitches them!"

Erwin's breath froze when he heard words like "forced", "witchcraft" and "bewitched". He wanted to refute on the spot, who was "forced", who was "bewitched" and who was "evil". Technique”!

But he still remembers his purpose. It is meaningless to argue alone. As long as they, the glorious apostles, always unswervingly fulfill the oaths sworn by the holy monument, then no matter whether it is prejudice or slander, one day they will dissipate in the glory. under.

"I know!" Erwin responded coldly and left the meeting hall.

The Valisi priests didn't care about this, and the content of their continued discussion was clearly to continue sending people to the east. Of course, the specific timing must be carefully studied.

…

Outside the meeting hall, Garr was waiting anxiously. Three days ago, they were officially received by Lord Cooper of Kilan Town. They then confirmed that King Nese's reconciliation message was indeed true, and then returned to inform the leader Erwin.

But what he didn't expect was that Erwin wanted to enter Kilan Town in person. No one could stop him, and Gal had no choice but to follow him.

Today's discussion was the longest one in three days. Garr was very worried whether Erwin would be ambushed inside. While he was waiting outside, he no longer knew how to pick up and put down the long sword in his hand. How many times!

Just when he was thinking about rushing in, a familiar figure appeared in his sight——

"Erwin!"

Gal shouted excitedly, rushed forward, took his arm and looked back and forth, while secretly checking Erwin's status through the holy power.

Naturally, his little move could not be hidden from Erwin, but Erwin did not stop him, but told him the news he heard inside and his decision.
