Aurora City has opened its teleportation center for free to allow residents who wish to leave Aurora City to travel.
Although war is about to break out here, a considerable number of people are unwilling to leave. They either have inexplicable confidence in the military region and those top forces, or they are unwilling to leave their native home. Therefore, after the major forces have made their statistics, they found that there are still nearly 100,000 people remaining in Aurora City.
The original population of Aurora City was only about four million, so it can be said that nearly 1 in 20 people chose to stay here.
Since they are unwilling to leave, these people will have no choice but to face the war to come.
Fortunately, this place is guarded by the Future Source, a top power in the Northern Region, along with a small number of support troops from the south and military troops from outside the city. Although these people are not the main force of the Northern Region, they are still an extremely powerful force.
The city lord's guards are also ready to go. Once war breaks out, unless Aurora City receives no support, it will be extremely difficult for the demons to pass through here!
In order to build more traps before the demon invasion, a group of guards from the city lord's mansion called on residents who did not want to leave Aurora City and wanted to stay here to protect their homes to build them together.
Meanwhile, a nobleman, dressed in finery and exuding an air of elegance, led his white horse slowly back into the city.
"Greetings, Lord Cen Zhuoqun."
"No need for that. After the defense line is completed today, send the route map to the City Lord's Mansion, understand?"
"This...the steward is in charge of this matter, I..."
"What? You're not listening to me anymore?"
"But sir, we must obtain a warrant from the steward."
Hearing the guards' tough tone, Cen Zhuoqun sneered. As the son of the Aurora City Lord, he always saw people like his father who were obsessed with the rules.
Oh well, it won't be long anyway.
"Look for yourself, this is the steward's token."
Upon seeing Lord Cen Zhuoqun produce the General's Order, the guards immediately nodded in agreement. Cen Zhuoqun, having received the reply, rode his white horse towards Aurora City.
However, at this time, the Lord of Aurora City was having a meeting with Ren Tianchi and the military region, while the high-ranking officials in the city lord's mansion were setting up defenses and accommodating citizens.
Therefore, there should only be one high-ranking official in the city lord's mansion at present.
Today's defense roadmap will only reach him.
And that's what he's going to do.
Veraia...hehe, today is the day the fruit will bloom.
Cen Zhuoqun revealed a strange expression as he sat on his white horse and looked in the direction of Verania within the city.
Dai Shanren's place.
This was his last day guarding Villania. After three weeks of companionship, Dai Shanren had become very familiar with Long Yi and the others, and he felt sorry for Villania, who was stranded in a foreign land. Fortunately, the world is a good place, and a virtuous and just son of the city lord was willing to take Villania in.
He was willing to find so many court physicians to treat Verania's body, and he would send someone to deliver messages every day. He was gentle and kind. One day, when Verania's curse struck, he personally came to Dai Shanren's place overnight to ask him to accompany his wife.
This gentleness made Xiao Dai feel immense pressure.
But if even the city lord's son doesn't mind, what else can he refuse?
"Shanren..."
As Verania sat in her boudoir waiting for someone from the city lord's mansion to come and take her away, she stared blankly at Dai Shanren outside the door.
For some reason, she had grown accustomed to having a paladin protecting her. In the past three weeks, some wandering demons had tried to attack her, but Dai Shanren had blocked them all.
Even the curse that used to flare up frequently was suppressed each time after Dai Shanren's unusual energy healing. The image of the gun-wielding demon in his memory was surprisingly similar to that of Dai Shanren.
This caused some ripples in her mood.
But she couldn't... because she was already Cen Zhuoqun's fiancée, the son of the Aurora City Lord.
Even if Cen Zhuoqun were willing to let Dai Shanren become her personal bodyguard, she still didn't want to. She didn't want outsiders to condemn the city lord's son, who cared for her constantly, because of the pitiful curse she carried.
Moreover, Dai Shanren himself said that he would not stay here for long.
So... well, it was just a beautiful dream after all. But I still want to thank you, Xiao Dai. With you around, I haven't suffered from nightmares anymore...
Squeak~
The door was opened by Ryuji.
"Holy Maiden, Lord Cen Zhuoqun has arrived."
"Ah...so fast?"
A nobleman riding a white horse dismounted and entered the courtyard led by Long San and Long Si. Long Yi and Dai Shanren stood guard on either side of Villania's room, quietly waiting for Villania to appear.
“My holy darling, Aurora City is no longer safe. You must stay with us to be well protected.”
These guards will remain your personal protectors, and I have found a way to completely eradicate the nightmare curse during this time.
And to this Mr. Dai, thank you for protecting Verania at all times. This is your reward. From now on, I will take care of this lovely lady.
Xiao Dai accepted the gift of gratitude from Cen Zhuoqun, the son of the Aurora City Lord. Inside were some rare and precious materials. Although he couldn't recognize them, they did look extremely valuable.
To be honest, he has been traveling back and forth between the city lord's mansion and Aurora City these days. Although Brother Xiaosai asked him to inquire about Director Weisha's whereabouts, he has not had time because the people he has been in contact with the city lord's son in front of him and Verania behind him are the ones he has been in contact with the most.
