The dwarves live on Leaving It Island in the southeast of the Fenuo continent. Their height is about ten centimeters shorter than the dwarves, and their physique is not as sturdy as the dwarves. If they fight alone, they may not be as powerful as a goblin If it weren't for the unique ecosystem of Nevermind It Island that made other humanoid creatures completely unwilling to settle in that harsh environment, such a weak race probably wouldn't be able to survive until now.

They have a particularly high tolerance to dirty air, sulfur, and soot. Although their fingers are short, they are very flexible, and their heads are a bit large in proportion to their bodies, which allows humans to see them at first glance. The easiest impression is that it is funny, but these little guys are exceptionally smart in some respects, they are very good at inventing and creating, but the peculiar brain circuits make it almost impossible to find a few really useful things in their inventions. -- "Feno Continental Encyclopedia · Humanoid Creatures"

The situation at the East City Gate was even worse than expected. This time, Barutan brought over an eight-meter-tall boulder demon. That giant demon stood behind the army of demons like a rocky hill, constantly throwing several A boulder weighing a hundred catties slammed into the city wall like a cannonball. Those who were unfortunately hit were all bloody and bloody. The city wall was also damaged under the bombardment of the boulder, and the city gate was crumbling.

With Evandel absent, the city guards and archmages had nothing to do with this giant demon. The holy city of Mikalan, as a religious city that never thought it would be attacked, was a normal big city like catapults and ballistas. None of the necessary defense equipment is available.

Until Alkai flew out of the city on a griffin, and within a distance of a boulder devil reaching out to catch him, he smashed a large bag of unknown liquid that Ferdinand gave him on the boulder devil's face. When it touched the boulder demon, it began to corrode its eyes and thick horny skin. The boulder demon, which was very insensitive to pain, let out a tragic howl, began to wipe its face frantically and ran around in panic, trampling several demons to death before bursting fall down.

Only then did the reinforcements have the opportunity to drive down the demons that climbed up the city, reorganize the defense line, and rescue the wounded soldiers. Palos saw that the situation had stabilized, so he didn't force himself to participate in the battle, but he didn't stand still, so he helped the rescue Teams search for and transport wounded soldiers.

He saw a Templar knight who was smashed down by a boulder falling from the city wall. Even though his gray bearded face was covered with blood and dust, he could recognize it at a glance-it was his former mentor Kent.

Some priests and civilians passed by in a hurry, seeing the huge boulder weighing at least a thousand catties on the head of the Templar Knight, they shook their heads and went to rescue others--steel armor could not withstand such a heavy pressure, his lower body He was completely flattened, such an injury would not save his life even if Evandel was here.

Palos hasn't seen Kent for a while, and Kent has been avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and he doesn't want to see this mentor he once respected very much. After all, the differences between them are unlikely to disappear one day. I didn't expect it to be like this when the two met again.

Since he was 14 years old, Palos has followed Kent as a trainee Templar. It was Kent who taught him the principles of fighting and being a Templar. Can kneel in front of Kent, take off his gloves and hold his hand, and say some meaningless words of comfort: "It's okay, it will be fine..."

Kent regained consciousness slightly, he opened his eyes and looked at Palos, and said weakly: "I'm going to die..."

"The God of Light will accept your soul." Palos could only comfort him with the church's standard prayer.

"This kind of thing... not many people believe it now..." Kent was talking about a helpless reality. The appearance of miracles only made people excited for a while at the beginning, but as the mystery disappeared, gradually Local people no longer have the awe of "God" in the past, which makes them feel sad and at a loss for those who once regarded faith as their life.Especially when facing death, they can no longer use the expectation that "the soul will come to the God of Light" to dispel their fear.

Facing a dying person, Palos didn't want to dwell on those right and wrong questions anymore, he said apologetically, "...Sorry, I let you down."

"No, I let you down..." Kent gasped with a sigh, the dying Templar Captain finally stopped insisting on maintaining his "always correct" image, "You are my best student... ...everything I have taught you, you have firmly in mind, and do it better than me...I have been...trying to do the right thing, even if it seems cruel and ruthless, even if it involves sin And the condemnation of my conscience, I also stubbornly believe that I am right... When I found out that I was wrong, I had already gone too far on the wrong path..."

Palos lowered his head and bit his pale lips. Kent was talking about himself, but Palos remembered some memories belonging to the demon king Idaris. What is the difference between them?I also feel that I am doing the "right" thing, and I also kill innocent people for a seemingly glamorous goal, and even feel that my evil deeds are a kind of "self-sacrifice" for the sake of righteousness, how ridiculous...

"I can't turn back...but you...you are still young..." Kent said with the last of his strength, "you have something that I don't have...the most precious thing...is the bottom line...don't throw it away It's..."

"Stop talking... Kent, I didn't do better than you."

But Kent couldn't listen anymore, and the last look in his eyes went out, and he murmured an inaudible sentence: "Go...do the right thing..."

Palos put down his hand, he didn't even have the strength to stand up for a while, he knelt and sat blankly, raised his face to look at the empty night sky, tears flowed down his cheeks full of blood and dust, these days The accumulated pain and exhaustion broke out at this moment, he just wanted to let go of everything that made him overwhelmed, but even if he was so tired that he would pass out on the ground, there were still some things he couldn't escape.

The people around were busy, two priests in white robes were so dirty that they couldn't see the color, and the wounded soldiers on the stretchers passed by in a hurry. A small group of reinforcement soldiers ran to the top of the city under the urging of the officer, and the siege was still going on. So, he didn't have much time to stop and be sad.

Palos finally managed to stand up, drew out his sword and stepped on the top of the city again.

Leicester was using the "telescope" invented by the dwarf to check the movement of the demon army, when suddenly he put down the telescope in surprise: "Strange, Barutan has retreated."

"What?" Palos, who had just returned from the east city gate, poked his head out, only to see that there was still a dark army of demons outside the city. Even after such a fierce battle, it seemed that there was not much less.

"The demon army is still there, but Ballutan left by himself. This is not right." Reicester said, "The current situation is obviously beneficial to them. If they continue to attack, we won't last long, but Ballutan Leaving the army and going to the crack alone-this may be a good opportunity to turn defeat into victory."

The mixed-blood demon army does not have a top-down command system and strict military discipline. Basically, it is completely suppressed by the violence of the demon leader, so that it can reluctantly exert force towards the same target. If the demon leader leaves at this time, the people in the city The demon army will immediately become a mess.

Reicester was right in thinking, but Palos's first thought was not victory: "It's going back to Titan World!"

Leicester was already arranging with his subordinates how to counterattack, Palos eagerly pulled him and said, "No, we have to prevent it from going back!"

"Are you crazy?" Raicester shot him a look.

"I'm not crazy. Listen, Ballutan's goal was never to capture this city, but to kill Avondel. He gave up the advantage in front of him because he had already determined that Avondel was not here at all. Maybe it knew in some way that Avondel went to the Titan world." Palos said with certainty, "It left the battle it was about to win at such an important juncture and rushed back, just to be against Avondell!"

"...You are right, but how can we prevent it from going back? There are demons outside the city, even if we gather an army to fight a bloody way, it will be too late!" Leicester looked outside the city again, helplessly Shaking his head emphatically, "I'm afraid we can only choose to believe in Avandel, he can do it."

"We can't take this risk. Titan World is the lair of half-blood demons, and the number of half-blood demons over there is thousands of times that of those under the city. Our original plan was to let Evan attack the city while Barutan's attention was on the siege." Del and the others sneaked over to find the demons, if they can’t drag Barutan here, it’s meaningless.” Palos suddenly thought of a way, “I can stop it, crossing the gap also requires magic, I use the Holy Word of Exorcism to prevent it from passing through the chasm, Alkai!"

Palos called the elf ranger in a loud voice, and briefly explained his intentions. Alkai didn't say much, but asked, "How long can you last alone?"

"I'm not sure how long it can be delayed. If it doesn't work, it would be good to buy some time for Avondel."

Alkai nodded, pulled the rein and led the griffin over.

Kara is a very smart beast. It can understand that the human being in front of him has something to do with Avandell who saved it. Although he doesn't quite understand why the two of them make out and then fight, but for Avondell's sake, Al It didn't resist when Kay let Palos ride on it, just grunting disapprovingly at the weight of the full plate.

"Good boy." Alkai patted Cara's neck, "Go, take him to find that big devil."

Hearing the anxiety in the elf's tone, Kara didn't delay any longer, flapped her wings and let out a long roar, and flew out of the city wall after a run-up.
