In order to explain the last few things clearly, Aarons returned to the Marquis's Mansion immediately after the broadcast.

"I will take Karin to Cornell now, Xia Ye, you stay here and protect the children and others."

"I think you will die in vain, so I don't agree."

Aarons thought his decision would be supported, but he didn't expect that Xia Ye would deny his idea without hesitation.

"The most important point in my agreement with you is that you must ensure that your life is not threatened. If you die in this battle where you have no chance of winning, I will lose an important source of mental tranquilizers."

Xia Ye needs to absorb a memory with negative emotions every month to maintain her mental stability. If Aarons dies, Xia Ye will have to look for someone to absorb the memory.

This is indeed an option with only risks and no rewards for her, so it is reasonable for her to refuse.

"So I oppose your decision. Please reconsider."

"First, Karin will protect me. If the defense line collapses, I will let her take me away immediately. Second, I will definitely pay you extra compensation after I come back... If this doesn't work, I will have to use this."

Aarons directly showed the sheep head emblem on the back of his right hand. He had no intention of giving up. Even if he gave up this important contract insurance, he would definitely go to the dangerous battlefield.

Why this idea in his heart was so firm, even he himself didn't understand.

"...Are you kidding me?"

The Aries Witch's body trembled slightly because of anger. She took off her glasses, revealing the long pupils that had been covered up.

The demon's gaze made the temperature in the room seem to drop by several degrees, but Aarons just stared at her silently, without showing any fear on his face.

"Xia Ye, I will do my best to protect the safety of the young master... Please believe me and the young master."

"... I hate that look. That's the look of that bastard who killed countless crazy demons."

Xia Ye should be referring to the "brave man" who saved mankind a thousand years ago, but Aarons doesn't think he is similar to that great man.

"I can't compare with the heroes of ancient times. I'm just a weakling who can be killed by anyone... But even so, there are things I have to do."

"Then be prepared... When you come back, I will make you regret this decision."

"... Thank you, Xia Ye. See you when you come back."

Aarons didn't use the precious contract insurance, and let Xia Ye agree with his will.

Even if it will cost an inestimable price afterwards, Aarons did not regret making this decision.

"Then please protect the others. I'll leave the house to you."

After saying this, Aarons immediately turned around and left the room without any hesitation.

After watching Karin leave with him, Xia Ye put on his glasses again, and then sighed deeply with some helplessness.

"...You are really born at the wrong time, young master."

...

However, before Aarons walked out of the yard, he was stopped by another unexpected person.

"What's wrong, kid? If you have something to say, say it quickly."

"...Are you going to abandon everyone and run away by yourself?"

——The person who stopped Aarons was the teenager Els.

This reckless boy, who was only fifteen years old, had an angry expression on his face for some reason. The look in his eyes when he looked at Aarons was also full of some inexplicable contempt.

"Ha? Can you take care of your own business first? Where I'm going, what I'm going to do... what does it have to do with you?"

"I've heard from people outside... you're planning to trick others into dying, and then you can escape alone!"

"Heh, it's just another kid's fantasy... get out of the way, don't get in my way."

Aarons pushed Els aside mercilessly and walked out of the yard in big strides. Karin, who was following behind him, glared at the boy, but didn't say much.

"The nobles are all liars... I'm sure I can expose your true colors this time!"

After watching the two leave the mansion without hesitation, the young and energetic boy was finally completely dominated by the emotions in his heart.

He didn't believe that this powerless and incompetent noble would do anything desperate, and in order to prove that his idea was correct, he quickly followed Aarons' footsteps quietly.

...

——Conil Village.

This is not a very wealthy place. The amount of grain grown every year is only 200 tons.There is only a medium harvest.

Most of the young villagers have gone to Moti City to work and make a living, so only some old people and underage children are left in the village.

"Master, the Fourth Legion just sent a message... A beast tide is expected to rush here tonight, and the Fourth Legion will not be able to send support until tomorrow morning at the earliest."

"Let us hold out for one night? How is the defense wall outside?"

"Fortunately, a fourth-level earth magician volunteered to come to support us. We have basically built the defense line now. Two fixed artillery arrays will be delivered in an hour, and the magicians of the city office will be responsible for installation and debugging."

After rushing to Conil Village, Aarons immediately became the general manager of this defense line.

Although some people who volunteered to help did not quite agree with his instructions, the warriors and magicians of the city office faithfully carried out his orders, leaving no one else to raise objections.

"How many people are here who can fight now?"

"There are a total of 130 people who can fight, including 16 magicians. The Kulan Mercenary Group just called and said that five of them will arrive within two hours."

"Led by the people from the city hall, divide all the warriors into teams of eight. In addition, except for the healers in the rear, all magicians must stay on the defensive wall."

Although Aarons had no experience in participating in a battle of this scale, he was quite calm at this time.

Perhaps because everyone was nervous in the face of a powerful enemy, no one thought about why an incompetent young master could be so rational and quickly issue various accurate instructions.

"Young master, what about me?"

"You will stand in the middle of the crowd and go there immediately if you see any place that needs support."

Looking at Aarons who was still drawing something on the map with his head down, Karin couldn't help but clench her right fist.

——Something that had never been seen before seemed to be slowly emerging from the young master.
