There is a huge tent in the center of the military camp, which is ten times the size of other tents, and the fabric used to build it has complex and gorgeous patterns.

Christy, the owner of Blackpool Town and the regional lord, is based here. Ever since the demons began to attack the town, until now, Christy has never stepped out of this tent. Naturally, she cannot appear on the battlefield, but her influence

The power is always there, and it is precisely because of her that the soldiers have the courage to face the terrifying monsters.

This is the role of a leader. As long as he stays here, he can continue to inspire those soldiers to charge on the battlefield.

At this time, a knight wearing light black armor hurriedly ran towards the tent, as if he had something urgent to do to meet Christy.

Perhaps he was too anxious, so the soldier guarding the gate didn't see clearly who was coming, and subconsciously raised his spear to stop him. The knight instantly became furious.

"Bold, are you blind? You dare to stop me!"

The knight roared, and the man's rough voice immediately frightened the guards.

The man is probably in his thirties and has a rather elegant mustache.

"Ah, it turns out to be Lord Ares. I'm really sorry. I didn't see clearly for a moment. I really deserve to die." The two guards immediately knelt on the ground.

"Tsk, if I didn't have something important to do, I wouldn't be able to spare you, so get out of here!"

Ares kicked one of the guards hard and then rushed into the tent angrily.

"Yes, yes." The guard grimaced in pain, but did not dare to show it at all.

After Ares entered the tent, what was waiting for him was an old man. He was well-dressed and had a kind face. He was holding a white towel in one hand and a silver tray in the other. He was obviously a waiter.

"Excuse me, is Lady Christy here? I have something to report."

Although he was anxious, Ares treated the old man with respect.

"Of course, Lord Christy is always here. Lord Ares, please come with me."

The waiter's behavior was very elegant. Even though Ares could see that he was anxious, there was no trace of panic.

The waiter's pace was neither hasty nor slow, and Ares did not rush him. After all, this was Christy's place, and she still had to have basic respect for her servants.

This tent is larger than it looks from the outside. It is divided into many small rooms, with the hall in the middle.

After a few minutes, Ares, led by the waiter, finally arrived in front of Christi in the hall.

The waiter wisely exited the hall. When Ares looked straight ahead, he found a barrier there, and Christi should be behind the barrier.

"Is it Ares?"

A majestic woman's voice came from above the hall.

"Yes, my most beloved Lord Christi." Ares said, kneeling on one knee.

"Very good, how did that matter go?" Christy asked slowly.

"This..." Ares hesitated.

"What, it won't be messed up, right?" Christy's tone was a little angry.

"Yes, it is."

Faced with questioning, Ares had no choice but to tell the truth.

Christy was silent, and after a while she said, "As expected, the nobles in the royal capital have abandoned us."

"No, it won't!" Ares said quickly, "We are facing an attack by the demons here, and they will definitely send troops to help us. After all, the great nobleman of the royal capital, Duke Raymond, has made a promise, and they...

…”

"Oh? Are you comforting me?" Christy interrupted him with a calm tone.

"...Of course not, I'm just telling the truth." Ares denied with a guilty conscience.

"Haha, you are worthy of being the captain of our knights. I can accept your intention to always consider me, but I am not a little girl who doesn't understand anything. I can still see some things clearly."

"yes."

Ares lowered his head, knowing that his thoughts could never be hidden from Christy.

In his memory, Christy came here nine years ago.

According to regulations, the twelve knights who win the empire's once-a-decade knight competition can obtain the title of "Paladin" and then become nobles and lords of a certain area.

Christy is one of the "paladins". She originally had the qualifications to become a noble of the royal capital, but due to her background, she was only granted the title of an ordinary noble and was then sent to this remote town to be the city lord.

Regarding Christy's life experience, most people in the empire have heard that during the last civil war in the empire, the lord who led the army to betray the empire was her grandfather, Logan Panders.

Even after the war ended, everyone in her family who participated in the rebellion was imprisoned, but the label of traitor has been hanging over the family on the verge of decline ever since, and Kristy has become what people call a descendant of a traitor.

That incident

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After the incident, there were only a few young people left in the Panders family, and Christy was the best among them. The elders naturally placed their hopes for the revitalization of the family on her.

Christy grew up under the ardent hope and attention of her tribe. In the end, she lived up to the expectations and won the twelfth place in the knight competition, and she happened to be selected as a paladin.

She thought that with her great achievements, the nobles would change their attitude towards her and her family, but the fact was completely opposite. Although the people did not dare to say anything, the nobles had always been prejudiced against her. In the Paladin

They even openly framed her at the Medal Award Ceremony, saying that she had used some despicable means to win.

Although the knight community recognized her strength, due to the obstruction of those great nobles, she did not receive the treatment that a paladin deserved, and in the end she had to succumb to this.

Of course she would feel aggrieved, because those mistakes were all made by her grandfather, and her people were punished as they deserved. However, the nobles of the empire still refused to let her go, and it seemed that she would never be able to turn over.

After this happened, the elders of the Panders family expelled them from the family for the sake of the younger generation, then sold all their property and became common people.

Although Christy gained noble status as a paladin, her status was actually similar to that of Mosswood, and she could only spend the rest of her life guarding a small territory.

After realizing her situation, Christi chose to accept her fate and vowed that she would never interact with any nobles in the royal capital in the future.

However, due to the attack of the demons, Christi's weapons were not made. Seeing that the town would one day be invaded by the demons, she had to break her oath and consider moving reinforcements to the royal capital.

The king of the Elnos Empire passed away inexplicably a year ago, and soon the demons attacked again. In order to choose the next king, the candidates for the throne accepted the most powerful and influential nobles in the empire.

, Duke Raymond’s proposal is that whoever can destroy the demons can become the next king.

From then on, other nobles in the royal capital began to take sides and choose their own candidates for the throne.

Now that the demons are attacking, Kristi thought that the nobles in the royal capital would never give up such an opportunity, and her act of proactively offering her credit might change the nobles' view of her and allow her to return to the royal capital.

After all, she is the only one among the twelve holy knights who is not in the royal capital.

Ares respects Cresty very much, so after receiving the mission from Cresty to move rescue troops, Ares rushed non-stop to the royal capital thousands of miles away.

After three days and three nights of trekking, Ares finally arrived at the largest city in the entire empire, the capital of Castile.

But when he met the big nobles one by one and explained his purpose, he encountered the same result, that is, he was kicked out directly.

The attitude of the nobles was obvious. They did not want to actively fight against the demons, let alone help the descendants of the traitors. Ares had no choice but to come back and recover.

But now it seems that Christy's reaction was very calm, as if she had expected such a result.

"Lord Christy, what should we do next?" Ares asked tentatively.

"Alas," Christy sighed slightly, and then said, "I have no choice but to rely on the forging of Mosswood. The demons did not use many troops to attack this town. If I can get the right weapons,

Maybe we can still fight."

"That's good, do you want me to rush Mosswood?" Ares suggested.

"No, no need, as long as Juan is there, and Mosswood proactively agreed to make the sword for me, I believe him."

"I understand." Ares nodded.

Afterwards, both sides fell into silence. Ares wanted to share the pressure for Christi, but as a very ordinary knight, he didn't know if he was qualified to do so.

"If there's nothing else, please step back first, Ares." Christi suddenly said.

"……Oh well."

Ares bowed to her and withdrew with some reluctance.

However, when he reached the door, Christy stopped him again.

"Ares, thank you."

Ares was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, no matter what happens, everyone in the Knights will always support you."

"Um."

Christy, who was sitting behind the barrier, smiled happily.

…

After Ares left, Christi continued to worry about the demons.

Although she had long expected that the nobles would not help, she still did not understand. From the standpoint of those nobles, in order for the person they supported to become the king, they should actively fight against the demons. How could they let it go so easily?

How about passing this opportunity?

She couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and finally came up with a reason that made her laugh and cry. That was that the nobles probably wanted her to be killed by the demons first, and then they took action. This way they could not only get rid of the people they hated, but also through crusade.
