Chapter 554 Click (Part 1)

When the carriage returned to the town, it was completely dark.

In order to leave as early as possible, everyone ran away without even having lunch in the town. As a result, they walked around in circles and came back.

Although Perrenli told Gary to turn around very simply, in fact he really didn't want to come back.

Pei Renli doesn't like trouble, especially asking for trouble. After all, he has a lot of things on his head that he hasn't found a solution to yet, and there is really no need to get involved with other messy things, so he feels very unhappy now, which is called a reluctance.

.

Compared to the reluctant Pei Renli, the others were very calm, especially Elyse, who didn't understand what happened.

After all, it is a small place. Just like yesterday, the town of Paspoli becomes very quiet once night falls, with almost no one walking around.

But not long after the carriage entered the city, everyone immediately realized something was wrong.

It's just too quiet.

Even in a remote town, there was not a single pedestrian on the road. At a glance, all the buildings were unlit, and even the militiamen who were supposed to be guarding the entrance to the town had disappeared.

"Where have everyone gone?"

"We're just going to be away for an afternoon, isn't it?"

Moen and Louisa supported the carriage and looked out, while Elise, who was following the carriage, also quietly touched the hilt of the sword at her waist. Even if she didn't know what was going on, it didn't stop her from noticing something unusual.

"Should we keep going forward?"

"Keep going forward, turn left after passing an intersection, and you will see the lights. The people in the town are all over there."

Pei Renli put a hand on his temple and gave the walking route through the mystical eyes flying in the sky.

Sally tugged on Pei Renli's clothes:

"What are all the people in town doing together?"

"It looks like they are building a defensive position."

"I probably trust your judgment."

Gary was driving while retying his shield to his arm, getting ready for battle.

Within a few words, the carriage turned around and passed by, and immediately saw the light of oil lamps and torches not far away.

With the hotel as the center, the townspeople seemed to have blocked off a small block and set up roadblocks with crates and other debris at the intersection.

Behind these crude defenses, there were not only men holding 'weapons' such as hoes and sticks, but everyone, men, women, old and young, seemed to have gathered, especially the hotel aunt, who was directing everyone to set up defenses. Her size was too prominent.

, you can see it at a glance.

Seeing the carriage approaching, the hotel lady came up to her with a surprised expression:

"Didn't you leave?"

"We were stopped by the army and asked to go back the way we came."

When the hotel lady heard this, she murmured something in a low voice, probably praising the army for its great lack of virtue.

Pei Renli stood up and squeezed to the side of the carriage and said:

"Why are you all here?"

The hotel lady came closer and whispered:

"Navara told us to set up our defenses and prepare for battle."

Moen said doubtfully:

"Why don't the guards care?"

"It's better to count on the guards than on my dog."

It was obvious that the hotel lady loved the guards so much that she actually compared dogs to the guards. She really made me cry to death.

"Where is Navarre?"

She pointed to a corner near the street. Pei Renli nodded and motioned for everyone to get out of the car.

"You've come back just in time. Let's use the carriage as a roadblock. A few people will come and help unload the horses."

Everything that can be used must be used, and the carriage can be used as a roadblock.

Regardless of this, everyone immediately walked towards Navarre's position after getting off the car. After passing through the crowded crowd, they soon saw the drow half-elf busy giving instructions under an oil lamp.

Pei Renli asked everyone to wait for him where he was for a while, and then he walked over with his staff.

Navarre also noticed Perenli approaching, had a quick conversation with his men, and said without any surprise:

"Sure enough, you can't leave either."

Pei Renli replied casually:

"Although I have an estimate of the level of dogecoin in the Republic of Tula, it is still too conservative."

"After all, you are a foreigner."

After chatting about the Republic of Tula together, Pei Renli went straight to the topic.

"How's the situation?"

"Exactly as you predicted before, we will probably launch an attack soon."

"I hope it's a little different from what I thought..."

Navarre pointed to the busy, restless, and somewhat frightened townspeople:

"Everyone in the town, regardless of age or sex, is here. It is more effective to concentrate on defending against the undead than to disperse.

Undead creatures will chase after the breath of the living. Facing them, just hiding in a cellar or the like is not safe. It is better to gather everyone together for defense.

"I obviously blew up the entrance of the cave before leaving. Did they dig it up again?"

"Well, the people I sent tried to stop them, but these guys were so powerful that my people almost couldn't come back."

Navarre pointed with her chin at Elysee who was looking around not far behind Perenli:

"The ones who dug the caves were soldiers, but the one who stopped us was the Sword of Salvation."

Her tone was quite ironic. The Sword of Salvation did not save anyone, but instead began to persecute others. It was indeed ironic.

"Looking at your expression, the followers in your team don't know about this?"

"If I don't tell her, she won't think about it deeply."

"Are you a naive idealist? Such people will collapse when they learn the truth."

"Let's talk about it then."

Pei Renli interrupted a little impatiently:

"How long until the attack arrives?"

"I don't know, maybe it will be soon."

Navarre did not hold on and continued:

"We started making preparations immediately after you left, but you also know that it is difficult to resist a group of townspeople who have only received militia training. Some people tried to escape, but like you, they were all driven back halfway.

"

"Where are the guards?"

"Here, over there at the town hall."

Pei Renli secretly turned the perspective of his arcane eyes. The castle-like town hall was also brightly lit, and the guards were putting out horses and other things, but no one came to inform the townspeople to take refuge, leaving the situation to develop.

"You are so arrogant here that you won't be caught by the guards?"

"You also know that I am already a rat in the bag. There are so many townspeople around, so the guards will not come."

Judging from Navarre's expression, there is no trace of panic. Regardless of whether he is pretending or not, his psychological quality is indeed good.

"What do we need to do? Although I'm unlikely to help you rip off the mayor's head, I can actually do it."

"Of course, I have no doubts about Brevo's demon-slayer heroes."

Perrenli's name is mainly spread in the river countries. Not many people know about him in the Republic of Tula, and Navarre is very well-informed.

"Our weapons are insufficient and our defenses are very crude. I hope you can guard the front and help us see if there are any areas that need improvement."

Pei Renli nodded:

"I can't make a guarantee, but I will try my best."

"That's enough."

Let me say it again, Pei Renli doesn't like trouble, and he doesn't want to find trouble. If possible, he actually wants to get out of it as soon as possible.

After all, he is the only one who can speak his mind as he pleases, and the flying dragon living on the highest mountain range can take him away with a single order, but there are a group of teammates around him, and it is the duty of the captain to consider others.
