The time comes to noon.

In order to complete the forging commission as quickly as possible, Emil and Sion mobilized all the craftsmen to help.

Because we didn’t know when the demons would attack, we decided to do it as quickly as possible. Finally, with everyone’s hard work, we completed six swords in a few hours, and the quality was almost the same as the one given to Daniel.

After the task was completed, the emir immediately took the weapons to the city gate and distributed them to the six knights.

After that, he came to the top of the city wall again and was shocked by the sight in front of him.

I saw that the big pit outside the city had been filled with water, turning into a small lake.

Obviously there was only a shallow layer of water at the bottom in the morning, and he was curious about how Lidia did it.

"Oh my god, this, is this possible for humans?" Sion's expression became even more exaggerated.

"Haha, what are you talking about? It turns out I'm not a human being." Lidia was angry and funny at his reaction.

"So, can you tell me the truth now?" Emil asked seriously.

"Hehe, guess... uh, okay, okay," Lidia said sheepishly, "Here's the thing, maybe you don't know, the reason why Blackpool Town is called this is actually because it was originally a

It is said that more than two hundred years ago, the entire area was a lake. However, due to a severe drought, all the water evaporated. Even if it finally rained after decades, it could not return to its previous appearance. At best, it could only

A small pool was formed where the big pit is today, and later people built a town here, which is today's Blackpool Town."

"So, what I saw this morning is indeed underground water."

"That's right, if you don't come up with this method, the big pit will be filled with water sooner or later, but it will take several days. Now I specially asked people to dig a few holes at the bottom of the pit, and a large amount of groundwater poured out.

Out."

"So that's it." Emil nodded.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the demons to attack the town again.

At this time, Lidya suddenly remembered something important.

"By the way, Emil, how were you and Margaret's actions last night? Sorry, I should have asked you this morning. My mind is really... well, I can't remember anything."

"It's okay, it's not too late to say it now," Emil quickly comforted her, and then said, "Although we encountered people from the demon clan, we finally saved the day and we took back the body tissue of the demon."

"Oh? Can you show it to me?" Lidia looked very interested.

"Well, I'm afraid it won't work, because Margaret used magic to preserve it."

"Uh, okay then... But there's another question. Why haven't I seen Margaret until now? I'm worried that something happened to her. Can you go and see what's going on?"

"Of course," Emil agreed immediately, "So where does she live?"

As a result, Lidya scratched her head and looked confused.

"Well, well, I haven't had any control over her since I kicked her out of the manor."

"Ah, this," Emil was dumbfounded, and then said, "Margaret is so pitiful, she is..."

However, just as he was about to speak out, Margaret suddenly appeared.

She stood under the city gate and waved to them, seeming to indicate that they should go down.

Emil looked at the place where he was standing. Only the part above the city gate was forty meters high, and it was very crowded. No matter how many people there were, he couldn't stand.

Only then did he understand why Margaret asked them to go down instead of coming up herself.

"What's wrong?" Lidia asked her as soon as she came up.

"Hey, I have important information to tell you." Margaret couldn't hide her excitement.

"Oh? Then tell me quickly."

"Didn't I tell you before that I came here to collect information related to the demon clan?"

"Hmm, so did you find something?"

"Yes, this is important information. We all know that the leader of the demon clan is called the Demon King, right? He leads the entire demon clan, and all the monsters are directly loyal to him. In other words, we have always

Everyone thought that there were only two levels of demons, but it seems that is not the case now. From this long-sealed book, we can know that the demons are actually loyal to the Dark Knight, and the Dark Knight directly takes orders from the Demon King.

"

"Dark Knight, what is that?"

"This is recorded in detail in the book. Among the demons, there is a kind of monster called the Dark Knight. They have an appearance similar to humans. They are obviously intelligent species. They wear armor like knights and hold huge demons in their hands.

The sword can shake the earth if you swing it casually, and their strength is second only to the Demon King. Currently, there are only four dark knights recorded, representing the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth."

"...There is such a thing." Emil couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

From this point of view, they must prepare for the worst, because the current commander of the demon clan is very likely to be the Dark Knight.

If the opponent's power is really second only to the Demon King, will they still be able to withstand the Demon's attack?

Emil didn't know exactly how powerful the Demon King was, but it could be seen from the history of the empire that the first heroes made countless sacrifices to seal the Demon Clan, in exchange for the survival of mankind. Even the Dark Knight must have been weak at that time.

It cost mankind a heavy price.

So, can he, Emil, be able to resist the Dark Knight's attack if he comes up with this method that I don't know if it will work?

If the answer is yes, Emil himself will not believe it.

Although he also understood that the demon commander was not necessarily the Dark Knight, this idea was just blind optimism. After all, he couldn't afford to gamble.

However, he found that Margaret was not panicked, and actually looked very excited after learning about this matter.

"Well, Margaret, why aren't you worried at all? It would be terrible if the enemy was really the Dark Knight."

"Humph, there's nothing to be afraid of. We will have to fight the Dark Knight one day, right?" Margaret said with her hands on her hips.

Emil really didn't know where she got her confidence, but if she thought about it carefully, what she said was reasonable.

"Then you must have a way, right?" Emil could only think of this possibility.

"Of course, no matter what the Dark Knight is, there is nothing that one magic bullet can't solve. If there is, then use another one." Margaret said matter-of-factly.

"……Well."

Emil was speechless, and even Sion and Lydia on the side found it incredible. They all roughly guessed how powerful the Dark Knight was, and no matter what they thought, it was not something that a witch could handle.

"Don't worry, even if the opponent is the Dark Knight, I will still defeat you." Seeing that they didn't believe it, Margaret quickly comforted them.

In fact, she was not bragging. Although she seemed unable to deal with Allison last night, she did not use her full strength. She still had the last trump card, so she would not use it against such an enemy.

…

Unlike Margaret's enchanted confidence, Emile felt very sad.

However, just when he wanted to consider a better countermeasure, there was a sudden commotion outside the city gate, followed by a continuous sound of horns.

Emil was secretly frightened. He knew very well that the demons were beginning to attack.

He quickly climbed to the top of the city wall and looked towards the battlefield. In the end, it didn't matter whether he looked at it or not. At first glance, he doubted his own eyes.

Because what appeared on the other side of the lake was not a large group of monsters, nor a huge guy, but just a thin figure.

That was probably the commander of the demon clan. Emil never expected that the other party would come alone.

Strangely, with the arrival of the enemy, the sky above the town changed color and became cloudy. At the same time, the wind became stronger. The trees in the forest outside the city were blown to and fro, and Emil couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Why did the sky change at this time?" Lidia looked at the sky with a hint of sadness.

"No," Margaret also looked serious, "could it be caused by that monster?"

When Emil heard what she said, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the figure on the other side of the lake.

The distance between the two sides was several hundred meters, but perhaps because the other side was so large, Emil could still barely see its appearance.

I saw that he was over two meters tall, with a burly build. He was wearing heavy armor. The surface of his helmet, shoulder armor and other parts of the armor were covered with spikes. He did not hold any weapons in his hands, but stood there with his arms folded across his chest.

Just standing still can make people feel a sense of intimidation, which makes Emil even more convinced that he is the commander of the demon clan, or even better, he is probably the Dark Knight.

"What should we do? Do we still have to act as planned?" Lidya asked, "Since there is only one person on the other side, should we let the soldiers withdraw from the battlefield and concentrate on assisting people to evacuate?"

"Yeah." Emil agreed.

After all, now is not the time to rely on numbers. Even if the soldiers go to the battlefield, they will only become cannon fodder and may hinder Margaret from releasing her magic.

"Emil, I can feel the huge magic power in the enemy's body. That guy should be the Dark Knight." Margaret reminded.

"Yeah?"

After receiving Margaret's confirmation, Emil felt even heavier, but no matter what, they had to defeat the enemy here.

Seeing that the other party showed no signs of starting a war immediately, Margaret decided to test it out first.

She directly took out her wand and fired dozens of missiles. Several green tracks continued to extend forward.

When she was about to come into contact with the enemy, Margaret couldn't help but chuckle. She thought the so-called Dark Knight was so powerful, but she didn't expect that he couldn't even defend against the most common attacks.

However, the next scene still disappointed her hopes. The other party ignored her at all and allowed the missiles to hit her, but nothing happened.

"Tsk." Margaret smacked her lips secretly.

"Stop being delusional. That guy is at least stronger than the monster last night. Let's take it seriously." Emil reminded her.

"Hey, don't be so nervous, I'm just giving it a try." Margaret said with a smile.
