As the sky gradually darkened, the atmosphere on the defense line became more and more solemn.
Although the surroundings were still calm, no one knew when the group of monsters would suddenly appear.
Unease and panic gradually spread among the crowd, and the volunteers who came here for different purposes also had some intention of retreating at this time.
"... Can we really beat those monsters with so few people? Didn't the young master run away?"
"Who knows, and this wall is just a temporary wall made of mud. It is estimated that it will collapse after a few hits."
"... If the situation is not right, just find a chance to escape."
Looking at these people with weak wills, the mercenary leader Kulan, who personally led people here to support, also showed an uneasy expression on his face.
"Captain, if there are only these people, it is estimated that we can't stop the beast tide."
"I know... Li Yue, what do you think the young master will do?"
"I don't think he has the courage to stay here. He should have escaped by now."
——Aarons has no fighting power, and he can't contribute much value even if he stays here.
Because everyone knows this, no one thinks he will stay here and risk his life.
"It's dark, get ready."
When the sun gradually sank below the horizon, a soft ball of light rose in the center of the mud defense wall.
——This is the illumination magic released by the light magician of the city office.
Although this magic has no other effect except illuminating the surroundings, with such a light source, the warriors outside the wall don't have to fight the enemy in the dark.
"Ha, it seems that everyone is ready to fight? This young master is also ready."
What everyone present didn't expect was that Aarons didn't leave this line of defense at this time.
When he took the initiative to walk to the wall platform below the light source accompanied by the light magician, all the people waiting outside the wall turned their eyes to him.
"Hey! Useless young master, why are you still here!"
"Moti City is my home! Is there any problem for me to be here?"
"Tsk! What I mean is... Aren't noble young masters like you cherish their lives? Why don't you run away quickly!"
"--Didn't you run away too?"
This simple answer instantly silenced everyone.
--Because the people here did not run away, this incompetent young master also stayed.
This is definitely not an action that can be summarized by the word "reckless". Aarons believed that he could win and that everyone present could resist this disaster, so he chose to stay.
"This is not only your battle, but also my battle... Because I am an incompetent waste and cannot fight the monsters in person, so I stand here--"
While speaking to everyone with the magic loudspeaker prepared in advance, Aarons pointed his finger at the pale white light ball above his head.
"--I will always stand here and watch you win!"
Almost everyone thought Aarons was crazy--because when the monsters really attacked, it was impossible for anyone to have the spare energy to cover him.
"Because I can't do anything alone, so I have to stand here... As long as I stand here, it means that the battle has not been lost!"
Obviously Aarons was just saying empty and meaningless words, but his voice quietly dispelled the anxiety and fear in people's hearts.
Because everyone has already felt that the emotions in these words are sincere.
"Because I don't have the power to fight, I want you to help me... Help me protect your city, help me protect your family!"
At this time, no one wanted to say anything more.
Everyone now just wants to know whether this powerless, useless young master of the Marquis family can keep his promise today.
If he turns around and runs away, he doesn't have to continue fighting. But if he really dares to stand there... then he must not be more cowardly than him.
"...Sure enough, my vision is right."
"Captain?"
——Kulan, who had been standing in the crowd and looking up at Aarons, suddenly muttered an unreasonable feeling.
The fox girl standing next to him at this time did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
"So, I now order you in the name of Marquis Moti - I have only one order! Everyone must survive!"
There is no arrogance, no noble arrogance.Aarons' order was just to keep everyone alive - and this order meant that even if the battle failed, he would be the only one who would be held responsible.
He had been prepared from the beginning.
"Hahahaha... Great! If you, a bragging kid, really dare to stand there and not move, I will fight here until the last moment!"
When the first person responded to Aarons's resolution, everyone present finally became excited.
If the weak dared to step forward, then the strong must not fall behind - otherwise, the dignity and glory of being a strong person would be gone forever.
...
"Mr. Youman, please stay with me. Your light magic is very suitable for instructing artillery."
A man in his early thirties, handsome in appearance but with a gloomy face for some reason, was standing next to Aarons at this time.
This man's name was Youman, a magician from the city government who had helped Aarons deal with the evil servants before.
Since his first attribute is light, and the few magics he has mastered have no destructive power, they usually play no role in battle.
——But Aarons has no prejudice against this.
"Master, don't you need to change someone else to protect you? My magic may not be able to protect your safety."
"That would be a waste of firepower. You don't have to think about protecting me, just stand behind me and follow my instructions to mark with magic."
After looking up at the distance that had already sunk into the darkness, Aarons suddenly pointed at his body and made a more disturbing request to Youman.
"Put a glowing magic on me too, so that everyone can see where I am at a glance when they look back."
"But, this will also attract the attack of the monsters..."
"It doesn't matter, because I can't do anything... So even if I can only help others relieve a little pressure, let's do it."
Youman stared at Aarons silently for a long time, and did not see any fear from this young man.
Although he was just a powerless person, Aarons' back was taller than any other strong man he had ever seen.
——It was just like the Marquis himself, who was called the God of War.
