Valkham!
After the zombie army evacuated, the Chamber of Commerce in the city immediately organized the evacuation of personnel.
The professionals trained by the Chamber of Commerce stayed in the city to assist Viscount Renault in defending the city.
It’s not that these businessmen are generous, they also want to take the professionals away, otherwise the journey will not be safe.
But the third prince of the kingdom is still here.
There are also sixth-level strong men who are ready to deal with the cursed inner demon and the cursed earth.
These professionals were recruited and stayed here to deal with the zombie horde.
On the southern wall of Valkham.
The Cursed Demon looked at the wall of Valkham from a distance of several kilometers. The black gas floating from the ground beneath its feet kept drilling into its wounds to heal them.
Kun stood on the south city wall, his eyes seemed to cross the distance and stare into the cursed demon's heart.
At this time, Tester was standing next to Kun, explaining what had happened before.
From the contact between the Tenth Army and the remnants of monsters yesterday, to the appearance of the lich, Asa and Jonas's battle, and then the heart that was teleported over after the lich was killed.
Until later he escaped back to Valkham.
Tester revealed all the details that were not mentioned in the letter for help.
After listening to this, Kun frowned.
“If that’s the case, then apart from the Cursed Heart Demon, there shouldn’t be any other high-level monsters on the other side.
Otherwise, once the other side makes a move, the Tenth Army will be destroyed without even having a chance to fight the remnants of the Demon King’s Army.”
The appearance of a fourth-level lich on the battlefield can almost change the situation, not to mention the sixth-level one.
"It seems that we are worrying too much!"
Kun looked at Leonard who was meditating and recovering his magic power not far away, and sighed, "The Cursed Heart Demon should be an attack from a higher-level being after the fourth-level lich sacrificed many souls and flesh.
Apart from the Cursed Demon, there are no other high-level monsters here.
But we missed our chance.”
If he had known this information from the beginning, Kun would definitely attack the curse demon with Leonard without reservation.
However, they were afraid that there might be a master hiding behind the cursed demon, so they did not dare to attack with all their strength.
In addition, the cursed demon is within the range of the cursed earth, and its strength is not weak.
During the battle, Kun and Leonard discovered that if it was a one-on-one fight, he might not be able to defeat the opponent in a short period of time.
Therefore, until Leonard's magic power was consumed too much and the two had to retreat, they were only injured by the cursed demon.
Now, Leonard is getting his mojo back.
After the Cursed Demon recovers from his injuries, he will definitely attack Valkham at night.
Kun was worried that once the battle began, neither he nor Leonard would be able to stop the cursed demon alone.
If the latter ignores the consequences, he will rush into the city and start killing people.
Even if the cursed demon is killed later, all that is saved is a dead city.
This also led to the fact that even after Leonard recovered some of his magic power, he did not dare to teleport back to the capital to bring more people.
This round trip takes at least half an hour.
If the cursed troll discovered that Leonard had used teleportation magic to leave and attacked right away, Valkham would also suffer.
It would be safest only if he and Leonard stood on the top of the city wall to intimidate the cursed demon, and then deal with it together after the other party attacked.
In this way, the tens of thousands of zombies can only be resisted by the professionals of Valkham.
Fortunately, Sylvia is here.
“Your Highness, it will probably take until nightfall for Leonard to recover to his peak condition.
Undead creatures will be strengthened at night, and cursed demons will also attack Valkham at this time.
Leonard and I will destroy the cursed demon as soon as possible.
But those zombies will cause great trouble to Valkham during this period.
Please organize the professionals in the city to resist the zombie army under Sylvia's protection."
After saying that, Kun glanced at Viscount Renault who was standing next to him and said, "Viscount Renault, please stay with His Royal Highness. If you really can't hold on, Sylvia will protect you two and help you retreat."
It’s not that Kun doesn’t want to take civilians into consideration.
When he learned that the strongest people in Valkham were less than ten level 15 second-tier professionals, and they were all professional mentors.
It was clear that they were no match for the zombie army.
Moreover, it would take time to evacuate 300,000 people.
Without anyone to protect them, ordinary people wouldn’t even be able to resist if they encountered vicious monsters along the way.
"Before you evacuate, you have only one mission: hold on! Hold on until Leonard and I kill the cursed demon and come back."
Kun looked at Sylvia.
The other party nodded silently and then prayed aside.
Viscount Renault thought that with the arrival of reinforcements, the crisis in Valkham would be resolved.
But who would have thought that the other party actually had a sixth-level curse demon?
“What a disaster!”
Viscount Renault discovered that Valkham seemed to have been living under threat in recent times.
From the Forbidden Forest, to the Aie Mountains, to the current cursed demon.
"How on earth are we going to resist so many zombies?"
Although Viscount Renault felt physically and mentally exhausted, he could not sleep at all when he thought about the battle he would face in the evening.
Some of the professionals in the city were killed while defending the city in the morning.
Currently, Valkham's professionals include 200 guards and 800 professionals from the Chamber of Commerce, 500 of whom are first-level professionals.
As for the mercenaries and adventurers, there were only a few small fry left.
Warwick, Linda, and Anno, the three of them and their elite troops are in an unknown situation.
Renault walked to the edge of the city wall and felt bitter as he looked at Valkham who was in panic in the back.
He has been running this business for ten years.
He transformed Valkham from a ruin into a city with a population of 300,000.
He secretly built up his power and vowed to avenge his political enemies who had framed him and killed his wife and children.
However, he did not expect that he would face the threat of the undead army when the plan was only half completed.
Just as Renault was planning his next move, a soldier climbed up the wall from the stairs, came to Renault, half-knelt and said, "My Lord Viscount, President Annuo is back!"
"What?"
Hearing this name, not only Renault was stunned, but even Tester next to him was surprised.
"Not only did that guy not die, he even ran back!"
Tester's eyes lit up.
If even Anno can come back alive, then is it possible that Selina can also survive?
Both were born to the same princess.
Tester also dotes on this princess very much.
The reason why I brought Selina here this time was because the other party begged me for help.
"Where is he? Get him up here!"
Tester's tone was a little hurried, which made Kun beside him a little confused.
The soldier who brought the news left and soon came back with Annuo.
Anno came alone, and he asked Liz to go back to the Adventurer's Guild first.
After all, there are sixth-level beings here, and Annuo is afraid that Liz's identity as a succubus will be exposed now.
"Your Excellency, Lord Viscount, Your Highness the Prince!"
When An Nuo greeted the two, his eyes also passed over Leonard, Kun, and Sylvia.
He had already guessed that there would be a big battle tonight.
These are all big names, get to know them first.
However, Test rushed up as soon as he came up.
He asked hurriedly, "Annuo, how did you escape the pursuit of the zombie army? Did you see Selina during your escape?"
Tester's second question was purely a desperate attempt.
He knew in his heart that if Anno had encountered the zombies chasing Selina, he would not be alive today.
But Tester didn't expect that his question would get a positive answer from Annuo.
“Coincidentally, I did meet Her Royal Highness the Princess while I was on the run.
After the adventurers and I rescued the princess, we asked others to send her to Gray City in the east overnight. She is not in danger now."
As he spoke, An Nuo turned to look at Renault and said with a smile: "Ms. Laura has also been sent there and is safe now."
Then An Nuo recounted the whole process of rescuing the man.
Tester was confused after hearing this.
He really just asked casually.
After learning that Laura was fine, Viscount Renault breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Anno with great satisfaction.
He didn't know at the moment that An Nuo in front of him was the master who played the self-destruct trick under the city wall before!
Hearing that Anno had saved Selina, Kun and Sylvia who was praying couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The former's eyes were full of praise.
The latter took one look and continued to pray with his eyes closed.
"By the way, Anno, I have a mission to issue to the Adventurer's Guild!"
Renault hesitated for a while, but finally made a decision in his heart.
Although it is a bit dangerous, isn't it normal for the son-in-law to protect the family business within his ability?
Besides, it’s not like he won’t give rewards.
What's more, at this time, all professionals will be recruited.
Anno will not have any special privileges either.
"As expected, the zombie army will attack the city tonight. I want to issue a task to defend the city! I wonder what level this task is according to the Adventurer's Guild's classification?"
