It was too late, but in the hall of Azus, there were crowds of people

The mercenaries gathered together in groups of three and whispered in curiosity and anxiety. Most of them had established bases in Azus City and had a certain power. In fact, when they received an invitation to go to the castle, many people smelled an unknown breath. After all, the two lords of Azus City have always been quiet and always disappeared. Many people have tried to visit them, but they were rejected. At this moment, these two legendary swordsman actually invited them to go there. These mercenaries were excited and a little uneasy. They knew very well what their mercenaries were, and unless they made special contributions, how could they be received by such a great man?

"Captain, do you have any news?"

Some qualified mercenary commanders have begun to ask the half-elves who are standing in the corner and silent. In fact, among the mercenaries, it has been rumored that the mercenary commander has begun to work for the official city of Azus. No one knows who his employer is. In fact, even the half-elves themselves do not know who their employer is. But no matter who he is employed, after obtaining that information, the half-elves still cannot maintain their original peace.

"I have no news."

Finally, the half-elf opened the way, and then he closed his eyes, obviously unwilling to answer other questions.

And at this moment, a beautiful man walked up to everyone, and soon the mercenaries noticed her and stopped making noise - you know, when the procedures were completed, the mercenaries had never seen Marien.

"Dear mercenary leaders, forgive us for provoking trouble in the middle of the night."

Marian first showed everyone a caressing smile before continuing.

"I think you must have your own thoughts on the sudden invitation from us, so the time is tight, so I won't say more... Next, Lord Ming, the current lord of Azus City, will explain it to you."

As he said that, Marian retreated aside. The crowd became quiet immediately, and the noise was still a little noisy.

Soon, they saw a young boy walking up slowly and wearing a noble costume that was not gorgeous, but was quite energetic. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A girl with beautiful two-colored eyes walked side by side with him. Her every move was elegantly as if she was natural. Many people couldn't help but open their eyes wide. Looking at the beauty who seemed to be able to appear in a dream, she was stunned and could not speak.

And the mercenaries with older qualifications have come back to their senses and carefully looked after them. The ice fish is no different from usual. They have seen or heard of this little girl with their own eyes. Moreover, in the city of Azus, there is almost no one who does not know her identity and can make her follow others obediently. Could these two people in front of her be...

"Hello everyone."

Yi Ming coughed and looked at the mercenaries.

"I'll introduce myself first. My name is Yiming, she is Meyali. I think... it's my first time meeting you guys, hello."

Although Yi Ming's words were quite light and mixed with obvious randomness, his words undoubtedly dropped a bomb in the crowd. Almost all the mercenaries looked at the two young men in front of him who were not even older than themselves, and could not connect them with the legendary two legendary swordsman who fought against the army of ten thousand people alone. Moreover, they were too young. Are they really legendary swordsman? No matter how you look at them, they are just two ordinary noble children?!

"I know everyone has a lot of questions."

Yi Ming continued to speak, and the mercenaries quickly closed their mouths.

"But now time is tight, I try to make a short story."

Speaking of this, Yi Ming took a deep breath and looked at the mercenaries in front of him.

"Just just now, I received the news that Moonlight City has fallen."

“………………………………”

The noise did not sound, but instead it was a strange silence. Every mercenary revealed a confusion and confusion in his eyes. Moonlight City fell? Isn’t Moonlight City behind the Forest of Life? It’s the hinterland of the empire? If this was a war initiated by the Federation, then they could not be able to bypass Azus City and attack Moonlight City directly? Could it be that an attack from another country? That’s even more impossible. No matter where you want to hit Moonlight City, it means that the Yuria Empire is completely finished. But they have never heard any news, and the Yuria Empire cannot be so easily invaded by others.

"Of course, I want to remind you here that the enemy is not human, or they were humans, but they are not."

“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A mercenary, who was nearly fifty years old, stood up with everyone's eyes and asked loudly.

"As I said... they are not humans, but people who are parasitized by the devil. I think you should be familiar with the devil."

Yi Ming's answer soon caused a violent reaction among the mercenaries. Although these mercenaries had never seen the real devil, they had heard many rumors about the war that year. The stories of the devils are the most common stories on the entire continent and are used to scare children. Judging from the reactions of these mercenaries, they are not like people who have no childhood life.

"Thanks to the assistance of the 'No Falling Flag' Custer Mercenary Commander, we have some of their intelligence."

As Yi Ming spoke, the mercenaries' eyes immediately turned

The half-elf in the corner. At this moment, Yi Ming also looked at him and smiled at the half-elf with a friendly smile.

"So, Mr. Custer, can you please give you an explanation? I think as a first-hand information master, I should be more convincing than me."

Hearing Yi Ming's words, the half-elf nodded slowly and walked forward with light steps. He first performed the highest warrior etiquette to Yi Ming and Mei Yali, and then turned to everyone.

"They are the devil."

The first sentence of the half-elves immediately raised the hearts of the mercenaries.

"These devils are like humans, but they are like something transformed from humans. They have very powerful power and fast speeds. According to our observations, they are even invulnerable to swords and guns. All ordinary weapons cannot deal with these devils. And these are not the most terrifying. I have seen with my own eyes that the corpses that were killed by them, cut off their heads and hearts will stand up again and become their companions." When he said this, although the half-elves were still calm, many people heard a trace of fear from his voice.

"I'm not thinking that you are not soldiers when you are on the battlefield."

Yiming continued.

"The reason I inform you is that I hope you all understand... Since the beginning, the entire Azus City has been closed and no one is allowed to enter and exit. And from my personal standpoint, I hope you don't try to escape. If we send troops to the other party in vain before the war begins, it will be a bit troublesome. The soldiers and I will be responsible for protecting this city, so don't worry about this."

"grown ups."

Another mercenary stepped out of the crowd, looked well educated, and was gentle in wording.

"Please forgive me for being rude. If these monsters are so powerful as Captain Cas said just now, then how can you destroy them?"

"It should be said that it is very fortunate that the Lord of the Green, one of the five chants of the Empire, is also in Azus at this moment, and they have participated in the battle against the devil. Obviously, this kind of devil is just a low-level devil. As long as you use a weapon with flame attribute, you can completely destroy it. It sounds like they should be considered flammable creatures. We will equip the soldiers with this kind of magic weapon with flame attributes, and the magicians of the academy will also take action."

"So, can I allow myself to ask the enemy... about how many people are there?"

"Nearly fifty thousand."

Yi Ming replied without hesitation.

"But, I remember Azus's garrison army..."

"Not ten thousand."

Yi Ming's answer was still straightforward.

“………………………………”

Everyone fell into silence again.

What is the use of an army of less than 10,000? Even if there is a singing, can they really resist these armies?

Seeing Yi Ming, who was serious and "serious and responsible" on the surface, Marien laughed secretly. Although Yi Ming said on the surface that he did not need their assistance, the army of less than 10,000 people and the closed city could only force the mercenaries to take action for their own life. After all, if they were so stupid that they were waiting in the city, then these mercenaries had been squandering their blood from the knife.

It was obvious that the mercenaries also considered this issue, but they still looked at each other and whispered in a low voice. And Yi was obviously very patient, and he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Then, all I have to say is this. The opponent is very fast. It seems that it only takes midnight to arrive at Azus. I must set up a defensive position immediately, and…..."

Yi Ming did not finish his words, because at this moment, a fully armed soldier walked in.

"Report to Master! Reinforcements have arrived."

"Reinforcements?"

Yi Ming was stunned and looked at Mealley in confusion.

"Where are reinforcements?"

"Hello, Lord of Azus."

Accompanied by a light and ethereal voice, a girl with a long bow on her back walked into the parliament hall. She knelt on one knee and saluted Yi Ming. Judging from the gorgeous and neat outfit on her body, the girl in front of her obviously belonged to a certain army. But Yi Ming had never seen such an army, and Meyari widened her eyes in surprise and looked at the girl's back. There, a pair of white wings were eye-catching.

"It's the Winged Humans."

Marien stepped forward and explained to the two in a low voice.

"They are races that only live in the quiet mountains of the south. It is probably Miss Steefal who is qualified to mobilize them."

"Stifall?"

"Yes, sir."

The girl raised her head and her long lavender hair showed noble rings under the illumination of the shining stone.

"I am the leader of the 5th Regiment of the Third Army of Lord Stifal, under Lord Stifal, Lüli City. Lord Stifal ordered us to assist you in defending the city of Azus in order to deal with the upcoming crisis. On the way we came, we met the cursed devils, and at their speed, we might be able to reach Azus in two hours."

"Thank you for your help...How many people have you come in total?"

"The Violet Legion has all three thousand people. The 'Tulip' and 'Rose' will arrive in half an hour. Lord Stefair asked me to obey your orders and orders."

"Then, please go to the city wall immediately to assist in the defense, and I will arrive later."

After the girl from the Winged Humans left, Yi Ming then smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly and looked at Mei Yali.

(I didn't expect Miss Stefall to send reinforcements...)

"I didn't expect it."

Yi Ming looked at the mercenaries who were ready to leave the field again and smiled bitterly

"It seems that it is indeed powerful to have one of its own army."

(If you really think so, why not form an army?)

"Forget it, I'm still good at assassination."

Yi Ming spread his hands helplessly, while Mei Yali never said anything but smiled slightly.

(Then, we should prepare it.)

"That's right."

Li Yan, who was accompanied by the head of the mercenary regiment, quickly spread in every corner of Azus City. While people were panicked, they also had expectations and a hint of curiosity. After all, no one among them had ever seen the battle of the legendary swordsman, and when they heard that Yiming and Meyalie would also participate in the battle in person, young people who were not soldiers also resisted their own iron tools and tried to participate in the battle with them. Their idea was very simple. Since the lords had all taken the battle in person, how could they crouch at home like a coward?

Just as Yiming arranged the troops in the city, two other reinforcements from Stefar had arrived.

They did not have flying wings like the Winged Humans. But when Yiming saw the hot air balloon-like transportation they were riding, he couldn't help but be surprised. He asked Marien curiously why he had hardly seen such things popularly used. Marien also gave a very simple and clear answer to Yiming's inquiry.

"It's too unsafe. It doesn't have much effect on transporting troops on the battlefield. Moreover, it's not very meaningful to decide actions depending on the changes in the weather. After all, almost every magician can fly magic to a certain extent, and if you just transport a person, you can also use the teleportation array. There is no need to use this kind of thing. In addition, the cost is... it's very expensive."

It seems that the last sentence is the point.
To be continued...
