They don't want me to work harder

"Master Mage!" "Thank God you are here!"

The old, weak, women and children hid behind him, and the guards with weapons rushed over to stand with him, forming a passable line of defense.

Near the tower, everyone temporarily stabilized their position.

But Li looked at the giant fungus beast approaching outside the city wall, his brows still furrowed.

That stuff is the point...

At this time, Daniel, who had been being held by Richard, said out loud: "Mr. Richard, ahem, I believe you, can you put me down?"

"No, I still want to use you to practice defensive descent."

"?"

Daniel couldn't understand what Richard said, but he felt it was not a good thing and immediately struggled: "Put me down quickly! The two of us can join forces to drive these cultists out of the city..."

Richard was too lazy to reply and directly gave a big bid.

"you you!"

Daniel was angry and scared. At this moment, he saw a new group of people arriving at the end of the street. They seemed to be his old butler and the guards of the Baron Mansion. He quickly shouted:

"I'm here! Come and save me!"

However, the butler who had cried bitterly in front of the body of the Baron's son Leo ignored Daniel at this moment and just stared directly at Richard.

Then, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyeballs exploded, and from the bloody hole left, sticky threads of fungus beasts spurted out.

Daniel was shocked: "You, you are also..."

"Jie Jie Jie, are you surprised? Daniel 'Master'~?"

"Our family treats you well, how could you..."

"What's the joke?"

The old housekeeper said disdainfully: "By not being thin, do you mean Follett beat me with a cane after collapsing the chair with his old fat ass? Or do you mean that Leo threw shit in our faces but didn't allow it?" Shall we wipe it off? Or does it mean that when you first heard that you would not inherit the title when you were a child, you wanted to give Follett a laxative, but ended up throwing it into my cup by mistake? And..."

Barbara.

At this moment, everyone in the room felt the steward's resentment.

Daniel blushed, pointed at the old butler, and said in a trembling voice: "He is talking nonsense! He is a cultist, Mr. Richard, kill him quickly..."

boom!

Before he finished speaking, the others were thrown into the garbage pile in the alley by Richard, and they could no longer make a sound for a while.

Richard was too lazy to care about the secret history of the Baron family.

He just felt the rising momentum of the butler opposite him as he complained - probably with the help of external force, but there was no doubt that it was Bai Yin.

So he realized that he needed to deal with the guy in front of him with all his strength, and other miscellaneous things could only be put aside first.

He said in a deep voice: "Are you the leader of this operation of the Empty Man Order?"

"Jie Jie Jie..."

The almost human-like butler did not answer Richard's question, but just laughed and said: "It's a pity, I want to shed more light on the disgusting things about their family, but it doesn't matter..."

"The messenger has received enough sacrifices! It is unstoppable! You will all die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant hill-like fungus beast outside the city wall made a strange and harsh sound in coordination.

All humans who heard the sound covered their ears in pain, while the cultists cheered up, their strength and speed increased than before.

"Is this strength close to gold?"

"How can we stop that thing!"

"Even if we stay here, we will still die when that big monster comes over!"

The soldiers and civilians of Nyon, who had barely managed to maintain their morale, wanted to flee in all directions.

In fact, it wasn't just them. Richard noticed from the corner of his eye that two young men in robes ran down from the tower, and they looked like they were apprentices who were originally guarding the magic circle.

Ah, you don’t want to run away!

I need your help operating that magic circle!

At this time, Richard was in trouble.

He must not let these people flee, because then he will be overwhelmed by the swarms of cultists, and it will be impossible to do anything else.

But how should he stop people?

Tell them that you plan to go to the tower to upgrade first, and then you will have a way to defend the city?

Will anyone believe it?He was just a foreigner who had never been seen before, and his prestige in Nyon was basically zero.

We cannot expect everyone to be Benjamin. In the face of death, it is normal for most people to want to escape.

Just as Richard was scratching his head...

"All soldiers, listen up, if you take one step back, I will punish you on the spot for desertion!"

The sassy female voice spread throughout half of the small town. People who were originally panicked looked up and saw the tall figure standing on the city wall.

Exquisite armor, sharp sword, long hair flowing like flowing fire, cold and beautiful face...

It was a familiar image of all Imperial men seen in newspapers.

"L-Lady Luvia..."

"The Sword of the Empire..."

The crowd's flight was stopped instantly.

This is the appeal of Half-Step Sword Saint Luvia in the empire.

However, Richard's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Something is wrong!

He knew Luvia was nearby, but was it too soon to show up at this time?It’s too different from simulation, right?

Moreover, if Luvia was really the genius who dominated a generation, why did she still stand here to scare the deserters instead of turning around and killing the giant fungus beast?Don't like it?

At this moment, on the city wall, Luvia turned her head and stared at Richard with complicated eyes.

She said: "I have other things to do. From now on, this place will be under the command of Richard Targary's security! Stick to it, victory belongs to us!"

…………

……

Chapter 70 Under the leadership of women and foreigners…

Before Luvia finished speaking, everyone looked at Richard with hesitation on their faces.

Seeing this, she lightly opened her red lips again, and wanted to say something, but...well, she couldn't think of words for a short time.

Richard raised his eyebrows slightly.

Gee, it fits the stereotype of the primitive weird aunt.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the old silver-level housekeeper seemed to be frightened by Luvia and had run deep into the alley out of sight, so he took the initiative to stand up and take over Luvia's words.

"Everyone, I am Richard Targaryen."

"I know you don't know me well and don't trust me, but it doesn't matter because I don't need you to fight for me either."

No need to fight for you?

The remnant soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, all curious as to why Richard said this.

Richard shrugged: "After all, I am just a country bumpkin from Connaught. All my money is spent on women. She also bullied me as a foreigner and cheated me of two extra silver coins. How can I afford you?" Where’s your salary?”

The soldiers laughed.

Then Richard changed the topic and pointed at the giant fungus beast: "Just look at that big guy outside. Guess, does it move faster than our short legs? Can you really outrun it? Even if it can, What about your parents, wives and daughters? Guess how long it will take to eat the entire city of Nyon?"

The soldiers fell silent.

Richard waved his fist: "So, I don't want your loyalty. What I really need is your courage! Nyon is your home. Your relatives, property, and houses are all here. Shouldn't you muster up the courage to keep that monster out and protect everything you have?"

"I, an unconnected foreigner, dare to stay and confront that monster. What about you? Is it possible that you are all stupid?"

Richard pointed at Luvia and said, "There are really no people to back us up. We are afraid of eggs!"

The people around were panicked for a moment, not expecting that the man in front of them would dare to make a joke about the Imperial Sword like this, and they all peeked at Luvia.

When they noticed that the latter had no objection to the joke, they immediately felt ashamed.

Yes, Nyon is my home!

Now that a foreigner and a woman have the courage to stay and fight, what reason do I have to run away... not to mention that I may not be able to escape.

Moreover, it would be fine if it was destined to be impossible to win, but that woman was Lady Luvia!

With the Sword of the Empire, all monsters can only be rampant for a while. The final victory must belong to us!

Seeing that his morale was improving, Richard shouted:

"Stick to your post, for the sake of your family, for your property, for your house, and keep that bunch of excuse-like things out! After the victory, let alone being cheated of more silver coins, I am willing to pay a hundred gold coins to ask each of you to open three games in the brothel. Three days and three nights! It’s so good that you forget who you are!”

"Ho!" "Okay!" "Very good!"

The remaining soldiers roared angrily, and even Daniel's thugs from before stood up.

Richard took the opportunity to make arrangements, and asked some people to go up to the city wall to observe and warn the giant fungi that was approaching. Some people set up roadblocks near the tower, preparing fire starters and holy water to guard against the cultists who might counterattack.

At this moment, several carriages rushed over, but it was Benjamin's priests who brought the vital mercury - but according to them, Benjamin himself was entangled by other cadres of the cult in the south. , unable to get away for a while.

Richard expressed his understanding, and then asked these priests with only black iron rank to join the defense line.

Then, he gave Luvia a look and walked into the tower.

Inside the tower.

Although this building is tall, it is not layered. From the bottom of the tower to the top, there is a high arc wall, which is engraved with mysterious patterns and inlaid with at least thousands of high-quality magic crystals.

Several apprentices looked at Richard and then at the cold-faced Luvia, and said extremely respectfully: "Sir, if you have any orders, just say so."

"Two things. First, you first tell me how to activate the magic circle left behind by this legend. Second, you need mercury to help me draw a new magic circle at the back. This is the formation diagram, it is not very difficult..."
