Volume 1 Chapter 176 The Army Arrives, Hopes of All Nobles

Tick-tick——

The sound of dense horse hooves echoed on the road leading to the City of Grace.

Various types of cavalry formed a long line, and behind the cavalry were infantry, archers, magicians...

These are the troops of the Kingdom of Klei that came from the territory of Nistad.

This was the largest battle the Kingdom of Clay had fought in nearly a hundred years.

The soldiers looked at the walls of the City of Grace from a distance and began to communicate in low voices.

"Is this the city built by the legendary Smiling Man? Wow, it looks even more majestic than the Royal City."

"Hush! Are you going to die? Don't you know that the current situation in the country is very delicate? If you talk nonsense, you will die!"

"Isn't it just the news that Mr. No. 1 has taken control of the kingdom? Now even my wife knows about it. What's so bad about it? You live next door to me. Didn't you tell me about it when we were drinking that night?"

"That's different, you don't know! I took advantage of the fact that the idiot next door was drunk and was chatting with the young wife next door late at night. She saw someone talking nonsense and was arrested!"

"Ah??? Is it so scary, Lao Wang?"

"..."

The news caused quite a stir in King Clae's city, and word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Due to deliberate rumors spread by someone with ulterior motives, the king was killed, and the news that Lynch became the real ruler of the Kingdom of Claire became known to everyone.

When these soldiers saw the majestic Kingdom of Cree, they believed the rumors were true.

The army was still moving forward, with colorful flags fluttering. In the army, at intervals, you could see different flags, which were the family honors of the nobles.

This army has nearly 800,000 soldiers!

Many nobles were interested in conquering Fort Origi and expanding their territory, and they spent a lot of money on it. They recruited many militias in a very short time.

Even many civilians with some skills registered as mercenaries and formed teams spontaneously. Because in such a battle, if they established military merits or conquered a small territory, they also had the possibility of becoming nobles.

Fort Origi is a large territory, and war is also an opportunity for civilians to turn things around.

Soon, the army arrived outside the City of Grace.

Looking closer, the generals and strong men at the front were all shocked.

In five days, thanks to the Berserkers' hard work, the ground outside the City of Grace was hollowed out for nearly a hundred meters, at least ten meters deep... leaving only a wide passage leading directly to a city gate.

Inside the deep pit, the Berserkers were still working hard.

Their lord said that working hard on farming would be very effective in suppressing the negative effects of madness!

Soon, the generals blinked their eyes with amused expressions.

They saw a group of humans carrying huge stones with difficulty, moving forward on the road leading to the City of Grace.

"Eh? Isn't the City of Grace a city full of aliens? Why are there still humans working here? Could it be that the City of Grace has started accepting humans other than the Smiley People?"

"Wait, why do I feel that the person moving the stones is familiar? That person seems to be your lord?"

"Impossible, how could my Lord Earl do such a job? He hasn't even learned the fighting spirit... Hmm? Is he really my Lord?"

"Can you help me see if that is my lord?"

"..."

The generals at the front rubbed their eyes and looked at the 'porters' in disbelief.

After repeated confirmation, they finally accepted the reality that their lord was moving bricks.

These subordinates and relatives who were trained by various noble families hurriedly dismounted from their horses, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and rushed out of the city.

If they were riding horses while the owner of the house was moving bricks, it would be a violation of their identities. At this time, helping is the right thing to do.

"Mr. Earl, what on earth has happened to you that you have ended up doing this kind of work?"

"Please let me help you move this stone. You shouldn't do this kind of work!"

"Oh my God, Master, you look so hungry and thin!"

"..."

......

A concerned voice sounded from far away, and a figure flashed and ran towards the nobles at a rapid speed.

The nobles, who were almost unconscious from exhaustion, trembled and almost dropped the stones they were carrying.

With difficulty they turned their heads and looked at the soldiers running towards them.

After they confirmed that it was their person, they cried with joy.

"Woo woo - those are my people, they are finally here, I have never been so happy in my life because of the care of my subordinates..."

"Put the stone down quickly, be careful, and eat! I want to eat beast meat!"

"The hard times are finally over. After the war, I will never come to this damn place again. It's like a noble cemetery!"

"You are not my subordinates, you are my relatives, hurry up and bring me food!"

"......"

The large stone slab was slowly placed on the ground. The nobles had hazy eyes, not sure if it was because they were too tired or because their eyes were blurred by tears. With ferocious faces, they rushed towards their subordinates like rampaging zombies.

They knew that their hope had arrived!

The subordinates who were running towards their lord were somewhat confused.

What exactly happened to our lord?

Why move bricks?

Why do you look so haggard?

Why am I so hungry, so thin, and so dirty like a homeless person?

......

On the city wall.

The 'Insidious Four' were watching the nobles running outside the city with cunning smiles on their faces.

"No matter who you are, once you come to the City of Grace, you must know what propriety and rules are!" Paul straightened his smiling mask.

"They could never have imagined that the soldiers they sent out were all transformed into undead by me." Penny's skinny body twisted.

"From now on, they will always remember that they have worked in the City of Grace. No matter what, they are labeled as 'City of Grace workers'. Even if Mr. Nicholas controls the Kingdom of Claire in the future, it will not be too difficult for them to work for him again!" Borg's smile was gloomy and cold.

"Are we too nice to them? The teacher said that there are many things in life that require trying. They work so hard, so shouldn't they thank us?" Uncle Morton frowned.

"Um?"

The other three people seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.

Finally, Paul nodded and said, "Teacher, we must have the heart of a thief. Have you ever tried to be a thief? I think we can continue to cultivate, maybe we can break through our own potential."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the 'Four Creative People' lit up. Looking at the large space rings in the hands of those generals that were used as war transportation props, as well as the supplies behind them, they became interested.

"This is feasible." Marcus looked calm, placed his right hand on the wall, and spoke in a serious tone.

"What are you talking about?" Dao Ge was a little confused.

"They are talking about stealing things! Great!" Bobo said happily: "Can I steal with you guys?"

"That was the training course that the master gave us in our early years. I was too busy with chores and didn't concentrate on my training. I'm ashamed." Marcus shook his head slowly, staring at the nobles who were crying while hugging their subordinates, and said to several clan leaders, "You can also steal things with us."

"Since this is the Lord's teaching, I will definitely work hard!" The big hammer said with a deep voice.

A theft operation begins...
