Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2010 Attacked!

The timeline was pushed slightly forward.

At dawn, the knight golem awoke from its standby state as usual and left the bedroom.

He soon discovered, to his surprise, that a squad of fully armed Dragon Palace guards stood watch outside the palace where they lived.

Finia, who had risen early, was now wearing a suit of armor that she had meticulously crafted and heavily adorned with runes, and was speaking solemnly with the head of the guards, Jon Hansen.

Seeing him walk out of the palace, Finia quickly waved and then explained:
"Mr. Bernard!"
The entire Emerald City is under martial law, and Lady Evelyn has told us not to wander around.

They said there might be an enemy attack.

Upon hearing this, the knight golem asked in surprise:

"Could it be that the enemy is coming to attack?"

This is our rear area. Aren't the troops of the [Radiant Fire Hall] being held back on the northern defense line of the [Fairy Lake Domain]?
"They infiltrated here?"

Upon hearing this, Jon stepped forward and nodded, explaining:
"That's right, that's exactly it."

Our mage detected a portal in the western wilderness that connects to the north.

This is also an old tactic used by [Radiant Hall] to harass our rear on the battlefield.

While we need to remain vigilant, we don't need to worry too much.

The matter has been reported to the front-line command, and His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has already led the Dragon Emperor Guards to investigate the situation.

The only slightly troublesome thing now is:

Starting from late last night, fierce fighting broke out on the front lines, and the scale of the fighting is growing larger and larger, showing no signs of stopping.

If the situation turns unfavorable, we may find it difficult to summon many reinforcements.

Of course, there is also good news, because most of the enemy's top experts are under the surveillance of the frontline experts.

Therefore, the enemy that came this time shouldn't be too strong.

Upon hearing this, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Brand's mind behind the knight golem, and he keenly sensed that things were probably not so simple.

—If this were just a minor problem, Evelyn wouldn't have gone out with the Dragon Emperor Guard to 'investigate the situation,' but rather to resolve the problem directly!

In recent months.

Since that pre-battle oath-taking ceremony in the [Twilight Frost Domain].

Many regions surrounding it, including the Emerald Realm, have entered a state of full-scale war.

Subsequently, although the allied forces of the Osia Continent used a series of measures to curb the further southward advance of the [Radiant Hall] army.

However, the battle lines gradually stretched towards the 'west-southwest' and 'east-north' directions, and the demon warriors of the [Radiant Hall] continued their relentless and fearless attacks.

Even the most solid defenses can inevitably develop some loopholes.

This allowed a small number of weak demons, who were not affected by the wide-area detection array and were extremely skilled at camouflage, to cross the long defensive line and infiltrate the rear of the battlefield.

And what if some of these demons happen to be carrying special equipment?

Therefore, it is possible to establish a portal and directly send more demons to cause trouble.

Similar incidents have occurred more than once in recent months.

However, even if the portal is indeed established...

As long as they are not built directly within the towns, the problems are not too big.

Like the Emerald Realm where the Knight Golem resides.

Although this place is not directly facing the battlefield, it is fully prepared for battle.

To truly cause them trouble, we ultimately need to breach the defenses of the surrounding towns.

In addition, retreat should not be delayed.

Otherwise, the demons that come to cause trouble will face teleportation and encirclement by powerful figures from all sides of the Osia Continent!
—Compared to the highly mobile upper-level forces of both sides, the continent of Osia has a slight advantage.

However, with the front lines embroiled in fierce fighting, the situation is slightly different.

If Brand were the enemy commander, he would definitely send people over to cause trouble at any cost, given the chance!
Even if it ultimately fails, tying down the enemy's attention can bring many benefits to the battle situation on the front lines!
Thinking like this.

Under Brand's control, after learning the basic situation from Jon, the Knight Golem took Finia to Evelyn's dedicated war command center in the Dragon Palace to gather more detailed intelligence. As expected, the [Radiant Hall] had made a major move this time.

As the sun rose high in the sky, Evelyn and her team, who had gone to investigate, sent back an urgent message:

A demonic army is rapidly approaching the Emerald City!

……

It was nearing noon.

A high-rise platform of the Emerald Dragon Palace.

Watching the knight golem silently arrange its magnificent sheathed knight's longsword, its enormous lance with a blade like deep blue crystal, its beautiful magical longbow that seemed to be made of azure crystal, and its large quivers filled with different specially made enchanted arrows.

Stella couldn't help but cross her arms and tease her:
"No wonder he dared to refuse the Dragon Emperor's suggestion to seek refuge there, just like me."

You've hidden quite a few good things, each one should be a potential divine artifact and have undergone special enhancement?
Why haven't I seen you selling these before?

Upon hearing this, the knight golem casually replied:

"Is that even a question? These weapons aren't easy to forge."

But then again, you're not bad either.

As they spoke, the knight golem glanced at Stella, who was all smiles.

This Emerald Dragonborn Elf mage is also fully armed.

Not only was her entire body covered in sparkling magical ornaments.

The crimson robe he wore was clearly decorated with special runes and magic circles, and the elemental aura surrounding him was very obvious.

In addition, she had a magnificent short sword hanging at her waist, which she had once ordered from the knight golem but which had now been clearly enhanced with magic.

She held one of the three wooden staffs, each inlaid with numerous magical gems, in her hand, and carried the other two on her back.

At first glance, an astonishing aura of wealth immediately comes to mind.

After the knight golem finished its battle preparations and stood side by side with Stella...

Looking at these two "heavy spenders," Jon and the others, who were adjusting a giant magic ballista nearby, couldn't help but curl their lips in disapproval.

Compared to these two, these elites of the Dragon Palace are practically like country militia!

Brand, of course, didn't care what the henchmen around him were thinking.

After confirming that the Knight Golem was ready for battle.

Under his control, the knight golem took out a purple gemstone bracelet and threw it to Finia, who insisted on following him.

Then he said in a deep voice:
"Keep it close to your body!"
It can protect you in case of an accident.

Our mission is to protect this weapon of war.

"But you'll just stay by my side for a while and help me deal with any stray arrows."

Hearing this, Finia, who was slightly nervous, nodded, put the bracelet into the inner layer of her armor, and then took off the large shield she had been carrying on her back, placing it beside her with a heavy thud on the ground.

Then, look out into the distance.

Beyond the city, on the vast land in the distance.

A fiery red expanse is now drawing ever closer to them.

Before long, the war machines on the outer walls of the Emerald City launched an attack on the demon army that had entered their range.

Giant arrows, crossbows, and beams of light, each imbued with extraordinary power, roared out, causing the earth to tremble and rumble continuously.

Inside the demon army.

The densely packed Firebat Demons also rose into the sky.

Then, under the intense blazing flames, dense streaks of crimson fire, trailing long fiery tails, enveloped the Emerald City.

War is imminent...
