Reject me, you damn woman.

The 26th Flame King's personal guard, former palace steward, "Land of Flame Disaster" Carl Jasper took off his silver-rimmed glasses, threw them aside, and looked at the sea-like tide of evil beasts:

"No need to thank me, thank Historia and that kid with the purple gold flower, our old friends. If it weren't for his persuasion, we wouldn't have taken action."

Quevedo was silent for a moment:

"I'm going to rescue the civilians."

"unnecessary,"

Carl said unhappily, pointing at the illusory magic tree:

"You are the chief arcanist of the palace, right? Just do what a chief should do."

"It's not your turn to worry about the rest of them."

"But........"

Carl suddenly thought of something.

"Are there others too?"

Karl didn't answer and snorted coldly.

At the same time, at a temporary defense line command post of the city guard, the defenders were retreating step by step.

"Your Highness Roslett, the Seventh Team of West City District is in urgent need of help!"

"Your Highness! South City District Teams 1, 9, and 8 are all in emergency!"

"Dongcheng District is in emergency!"

The sounds of alarms and calls for help were almost continuous. Prince Roslet, who was in charge of overall planning, looked at the map full of calls for help in silence.

He couldn't blame his own subordinates for being incompetent, because these monsters came too fast and in too many numbers, with ferocious momentum, killing people like crazy, and their abilities and appearances were unpredictable.

He had done his best to establish multiple defense lines in time, and the army and city guards worked together to evacuate civilians, but it was still not enough. Fortunately, he wouldn't have to worry about these things soon.

"Your Highness, retreat."

The adjutant walked up to the tall prince and said in a deep voice.

A monster that was the result of the fusion of multiple monsters and whose strength was close to that of a fifth-ring or even sixth-ring human transcendent was approaching here. The temporary command center had to be evacuated temporarily, which was also the reason why the collapse of the defense line accelerated.

"Let's go, where can we go?"

Roslett asked.

"Let's gather with the city defense forces first, or... withdraw from Rose City first. Anyway, here..."

"And what about the civilians?"

It only took Rosslett one sentence to silence the adjutant.

As the most core area of ​​the defense line and one of the largest temporary civilian gathering places, it is not far from the command center.

Once all members of the command center retreat, the civilians will inevitably bear the brunt.

Roslet sighed:

"Jacob, you know, on the first day I learned how to fight, my uncle the general and aunt the marshal told me that if you want to survive, you will never have to worry about firewood. You should run when you should run and surrender when you should surrender. But damn... ever since that bastard little dragon Lynn Norton came to Rose City, I have been either retreating or on the way to retreat! Who can stand this? I heard that bastard Hilteria secretly told me, dwarf, to retreat!"

"A general who can save his own life and the lives of his soldiers is a good general."

The adjutant had no choice but to say.

"Yes, that's a good general."

Rosslet said coldly,

"But such a good general is not worthy of being the crown prince, and even less worthy of abandoning his people!"

"Your Highness..."

The adjutant was moved.

"Isn't it handsome? I've been wanting to say that for a long time."

Roslet smiled coldly and drew the sword from his waist.

"But how can someone who retreats every day have the qualifications to say this? So this time, I will not retreat. You go and evacuate the civilians, and I will cover you."

"Your Highness Roslet!"

The adjutant was anxious.

"Don't worry, don't shout, I'm just trying to buy time, I will withdraw when it's time."

Roslett touched the sword and swung it violently.

"It's just a six-ring monster. I'm also a five-ring knight, and my sword...is not at all disadvantaged!"

Boom!

In an instant, a huge ferocious beast with seven or eight sparks on its body was knocked against the wall. It was actually a six-ringed evil beast.

"Your Highness! Awesome! You did this?!"

The adjutant was shocked, and Rosslet was also shocked. How could he be so powerful with just a casual wave of his hand?

Soon, the vibration of armor and the sound of horse hooves attracted their attention. At the end of the street, a knight wrapped in fiery red armor and riding a tall horse with red mane passed by. He poked the monster a few times with the huge spear in his hand, and after making sure that it was dead, he looked at the prince and the adjutant strangely, patiently took out a handkerchief to wipe the dust off his body, and then galloped away again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The adjutant stuttered all over.

"I know it was him, not me, okay!"

Rosslet said awkwardly;

"How brave! Whose general was that just now?"

"It seems to be General Sif!"

the adjutant shouted in surprise.

"Whose is Sif..."

Roslett's voice suddenly stopped and his whole body trembled.

There are several generals named Xifu in Fire Rose, but there is only one General Xifu who can be recognized at a glance even in that state!

The Knight of the Broken Flame, Severus!

Framed by traitors, he fought alone against the army for his country. It is said that he would appear in the Fire Rose's army in times of crisis to rescue the brave soldiers.

But...why do I need to wipe the dust? I've never heard that the Knight of Remnant Flame has mysophobia?

do not care!

This legend is actually true? ! !

"I am a brave soldier!"

Rosslet was extremely excited, even more excited than when he learned that he was saved.

"Damn Hilteria, let's see if you dare to tell me to retreat, you dwarf!"

.........

"Ah!"

At the same time, at the largest and ever-growing civilian evacuation gathering point in Rose City, Hilteria, who was maintaining order, suddenly sneezed.

"Sister Hilteria is too busy. Is she a little cold?"

asked Elena, who was passing by to pick up something.

"Uh, it's okay, thank you for your concern."

Hilteria still has a good impression of this very likable and reliable girl, but the others may not be so...

She glanced at the two maid sisters who were fighting outside the guard area:

"Silly Julia, I want to eat it, I want to eat it, that's my snack!"

The maid tried hard to grab the lollipop in her sister's hand, but she pushed it away with one hand and said coldly:

"Shut up Edith, His Highness Lynn said that whoever kills more monsters gets to eat. If you keep arguing, I'll tell you about how you soiled your skirt... Ugh! Don't cover your mouth! Not even kissing!"

The fight between the two has attracted the attention of many people...

"Ah ha ha....."

Elena smiled awkwardly.

"Do you need my help to communicate with them?"

"That's not necessary."

Hilteria shook her head when she heard this.

"I'm just a little curious about their style of doing things. As for their strength,"

She looked towards the end of the street, where the bodies of evil beasts were gradually disappearing all over the ground. She sighed:

"But it's not my turn to question it at all!"

She had no right to question the strength of the Flame Sword Twins, the saint of the once most powerful local sect of the Fire Rose.

Elena was relieved, picked up the warm scarf and bandages, and returned to the head maid who was taking care of the injured.

"Here you are, Aunt Mirantha."

"Thank you, little Elena. I wish Xia was half as sensible as you."

Milansa laughed proudly.

"that......."

Elena hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

The head maid asked.

"I didn't expect that everyone would actually...Are you really not a Forbidden Spell-level arcanist?"

Elena couldn't help but ask.

"So I was curious about this,"

The head maid laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm not like that. I'm just an ordinary maid. I don't have such strong power as them."

For some reason, Elena felt both relaxed and regretful.

"But I have a spell that is more powerful than the forbidden spell~"

The head maid said boastfully again.

"Really?"

Elena asked curiously.

"of course!"

The head maid smiled proudly and said:

"That is, I don't allow them to dirty their clothes, and none of them dare to do so."

........

In the area under the jurisdiction of the church, under the command of five hound nuns, all believers have been properly resettled. According to the plan, the church will use secret weapons to prop up a barrier of faith in the gods that can protect half the size of Rose City.

Although this barrier cannot kill enemies, it can automatically locate enemies and protect civilians, so that the Hound Sisters can calmly support others.

For example...heading to the palace!

Yes, regardless of whether the enemy is the Ring of the Dead or not, the Church of Mother Earth is an ally that Lin En had already determined.

But at this time, the party that was originally the most stable, and even Lin En was too lazy to specifically remind him, had some problems...

"Please try harder, Master Martina!"

“It’s coming out, it’s coming out!!”

"Yes, I have seen it!!"
