Unexpectedly, the next attack from the demons did not come.

Emil couldn't help but feel that he was being careless, and based on the monster's ability and IQ, it should be the demon commander.

So, they did win.

Although it cost a lot, it was still better than being wiped out.

So next, everyone returned to the town and began to think about the aftermath.

With Margaret's help, Sion's injuries were cured immediately, and the knights who were seriously injured in the second wave of demon attacks also recovered.

Afterwards, those who survived gathered in the square of the military camp, including those people and nobles who had taken refuge at the beginning of the war.

Now that Christy is dead, the whole town is leaderless and they are in desperate need of a leader.

Emil and Sion stayed in the corner, watching their heated discussion.

"Emil, if you want to say who had the greatest credit for that battle just now, it must be you, right?" Thain suddenly said seriously, "Why don't you go and say it? If it's inconvenient for you, I can say it for you.

"

Emil understood what he meant. He had indeed contributed a lot, but that was all with the help of Lilith. He alone could not do anything.

"That's not the case, I just fulfilled my responsibility." Emil said embarrassedly.

"Huh?" Sion was not happy when he heard this, "What is your responsibility? Isn't it forging weapons in that black heart workshop? But in the end, you saved the town. This is simply beyond your responsibility.

…”

"Sion, stop saying that." Emil quickly stopped him.

It's not that he doesn't want to take credit, but in this situation, if he is really elected as the leader, he will bear a lot of responsibility.

However, how could he, a commoner, take on such a big responsibility? Let alone the common people in the town, at least the nobles would not admit it.

But Sean didn't think much about it. He knew that Emil's ambition was to make achievements on the battlefield. He had obviously made such a big contribution in saving the town this time. If this couldn't be taken seriously, what else would be worth taking seriously in the future?

However, at this time, he couldn't understand why Emil refused.

"Emil, to be honest, I can't understand you."

"..."

Emil fell silent, and he didn't understand why Thain was so eager for quick success.

Just as the atmosphere between the two became increasingly awkward, those discussing the issue looked at them.

"By the way, your name is Emil, right?" A young knight came over and asked.

Emil looked up and could clearly see the admiration in the knight's eyes.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Emil asked, scratching his head.

"Hehe," another older knight giggled and explained, "Well, we have all seen your performance on the battlefield, so you should understand that we want to re-elect a city lord. Think about it.

After much deliberation, I still think you are the most qualified, you see..."

However, just as he was about to continue speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a rude voice.

"Hey, this is not right. That boy is just a commoner. How can he be qualified to lead us? You knights, please don't make decisions for me without permission."

The person who said this was a middle-aged man with rich clothes and a bloated body. He wore several gemstone rings on his hands. He seemed to be a noble in the town, but his speaking style was not at all like what a noble should be.

Several knights felt the same way and sneered at him, but they did not show it due to etiquette.

"Hey, looking at you, you must be a noble man in the town, right?" Sain suddenly said, his words full of disdain.

Since Emil won't fight for it, let him help.

"Haha, you have a lot of vision," the middle-aged man didn't understand what he meant, but he was still arrogant, "Yes, I am the head of the Karel family, one of the three major families in Blackpool Town.

George Carell."

"Really? Then what have you done for this town?" Sain didn't care at all and asked again, "Did you go on the battlefield and kill monsters, guard the city gates, or assist people in evacuating?"

"Tch, what does that have to do with me?" George became a little impatient when he heard what he said.

However, these words made Sean stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud. He really didn't expect this man to say such words.

"What does it have to do with you? Yes, it does have nothing to do with you, so what qualifications do you have to oppose the knight's decision here."

"Hmph, I paid a lot of taxes for Lady Christy and also provided supplies to the army. Why am I not qualified?" George turned red with anger and argued hard.

"Haha, should I say that you are ignorant? Or are you indifferent to the current situation? Don't you know that Christy betrayed us? In addition, in the war just now, the army did not intervene at all. The knights paid a huge amount

Victory was won at a great cost, and it was all thanks to my brother, Emir."

"...You, what did you say?" George looked shocked. He had just heard about this.

"Yes, what Sion said is true." A knight nodded and confirmed this to him.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Lady Christy is a Paladin, how could she betray us!"

George shouted loudly, perhaps to confirm something. He began to search among the crowd, but after searching for a long time, he could not find the figure.

Yes, if Lord Christy is really powerful and loyal, why wouldn't she show up at this time?

He finally accepted the reality, and then he started crying with snot and tears.

The people around him became depressed due to his influence. To them, Christi had always been a respectable city lord. Now that something like this happened, they didn't know who to rely on next.

"Hmph, you should understand now, right?" Seeing that they had nothing to say, Sean quickly took Emil's hand, "So let my brother be the city lord next."

"...Sion, wait a moment." Emil broke away from him.

"No, absolutely not," George suddenly stopped crying and said loudly, "It is impossible for us to admit a commoner as the lord of the city. Choosing any knight at random is a better idea than this. Fellow nobles, do you think you are right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding nobles who participated in the discussion responded one after another.

"You guy, don't be ignorant of current affairs!" Sion pointed at his nose and said loudly.

"Haha, I advise you, a humble commoner, to show some respect. Be careful, sir, I will make you walk around without food." George said with a sneer.

Such words made people feel uncomfortable, and even Emil suddenly felt an unknown fire rising in his heart.

However, when he was about to have an attack, a familiar figure came forward, and his expression immediately changed from anger to surprise, and then to joy in the blink of an eye.

"Lidya, you, you finally woke up?" Emil was overjoyed.

"Well, thanks to you, I saved my life. Speaking of which, it's really shameful that I owe you a favor all this time."

After Lidia finished speaking, she smiled slightly, and this smile instantly eliminated Emil's anger.

"Haha, that's right. After all, it was you who took care of us first." Sion on the side finally calmed down.

Seeing that Lydia woke up, the knights began to discuss again, seeming to say that making Lydia the city lord might be more convincing.

As for Daniel, his strength is not as good as Lydia's, and he is still in a coma, and he doesn't know when he will wake up.

"Ahem," a knight said to everyone, "We discussed it. This elite knight of our knights, Lydia, performed very well on the battlefield this time. Everyone should have no objection to choosing her as the city leader.

Bar?"

"Tsk," George smacked his lips impatiently, "I know this little girl is the granddaughter of Mosswood, but what can a female knight do, and she is also a trainee knight? No, absolutely not."

As soon as he said these words, the knights all stared at him resentfully, but George didn't care.

Because no matter what, this town that lost its leader is now dominated by nobles like them, and the knights can't resist them no matter how much they have opinions.

"Well, Uncle George," Lydia said pleasantly, "my grandfather has always had a good relationship with you, right? Now that he has passed away, my brother and I are not good at taking care of family affairs, so my family

The property is in ruins and the servants have nothing to do.”

"Oh? What do you want to say?" George suddenly became interested.

"Haha, it's like this. Our town is in urgent need of a city lord. You see that you don't have a suitable candidate now. Why don't you recommend me? Of course, if you don't trust me, you can also leave this matter to me.

The Knights have decided that I believe they will choose someone more capable, and in return, I can give you all the family's property, how about it?"

George was hesitant. To be honest, he had indeed coveted the Mosswood Manor for a long time, but now he really wanted to put aside his aristocratic principles and let a yellow-haired girl be the city lord in exchange for more land?

There is no doubt that he does not adhere to the principles of the nobility, and isn't the reason why he becomes a nobility just to obtain more land and make more profits?

Therefore, he just pretended to be hesitant, but in fact he had already agreed in his heart.

"Well, this is a good idea, but it's not enough for me to agree to it alone. I'm not the only noble in Blackpool Town."

"Haha, don't worry, other nobles will agree." Lidia smiled slightly, she knew the thoughts of these nobles very well.

The Karel family is the largest family in the town. The other nobles have to look at his face. Seeing that he agrees, how can they openly go against it?

Sure enough, the other nobles fell silent. They had to stand by George's side, but they didn't want to show it because of their face.

"Okay, if that's the case, then you have to keep your word." George finally nodded and agreed.

"That's natural."

Lidia couldn't help but snicker. She had given up inheriting her grandfather's property a long time ago. Now these are all handed over to Daniel. The loss is also Daniel's loss and has nothing to do with her.

The emir on the side saw that Lidia solved the problem with just a few words, and couldn't help but admire her method. If it were him, he would not be able to convince the nobles at all, but would probably intensify the conflict between the nobles and the common people.

"Now that we have agreed, on behalf of the Knights, I will elect Emil to be the city lord. What do you think?" Lidia suddenly announced.

Her decision was not unfounded, because according to the agreement just now, as a member of the Knights, she could also elect the city lord, and the current Knights were originally aligned with her.
