"...We six are from the Alliance, here to establish the War Temple on your kingdom's battlefield. The demons will try to stop us from doing so, and because of the rules of the war, we can't kill lower ranked demons en masse, we have recruited you to help defend against them."

As soon as she finished saying this, everyone's faces fell.

There was silence for a while before the crowd broke out in an uproar.

"The fuck!"

"Is she kidding us?"

"Weren't you supposed to set up the War Temple within a day or two after the demons step foot on our land?"

"Why are you only doing it now? What's going on?"

...

Hearing everyone's outraged cries, Max's expression grew dignified.

'So, this is the reason why the demons attacked before the supposed time? They didn't want the Central Plains' Alliance to set up War Temples?'

A moment later, he shook his head, 'No, it can't be this simple.'

While he was lost in his thoughts, Emily asked Lily why was everyone going mad. "Since they decided to take the risk and go to the battlefield, why are they reacting like this?"

Lily shook her head, "It's not the same."

She thought for a moment before saying, "Let's put it this way, in the war, there are chances to survive because as long as the strongholds, War Temples, are intact, the demons can't attack you if you retreat. However, without the War Temple, they will chase you until they kill you."

"Usually, the Alliance finishes setting up War Temples before the major wars start. However, this time the demons had caught them off guards by arriving a few months earlier than expected. Hence the situation."

"So, that's why..." Emily nodded in understanding, but as she looked at people crying about, there was naked disdain in her eyes.

Her expression was mirrored by Pauline, who looked at some of the people from the Fuller family who had become anxious, and coldly said, "You chose to come here knowing you may die there. Since you were already prepared to die, why does this slight increase in the chances of dying make you afraid?"

"Now, if you don't have any questions, we shall depart."

After saying this, she crossed her arms across her impressive chest, not that anyone would dare to look at it, and closed her eyes.

There was silence for a while before someone asked, "Your ladyship, may we know how much time it would take for you all to set up the War Temple?"

Verana didn't need to speak as Tristen looked at the female mage who had asked the question and said, "Two to three days."

"Anything else?" He asked,

No one spoke, causing him to nod, "Good. Now, you all will follow Sir Alton and Madam Wyomin."

Saying this, he glanced at Azaroth, "Thanks for hosting us. Now, we shall take our leave. Also, we expect you to be on the battlefield soon."

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Finished speaking, he flew up with Verana and two others, soon vanishing on the horizon.

The two people left, Alton and Wyomin, looked at Azaroth, "Would you like to address them?"

Azaroth nodded, and took a step forward, his resonating voice booming in everyone's ears.

"This war is both a danger and an opportunity for you all. Try your best to survive, benefit and when you feel like it, return home."

"Yes, my lord!" Everyone echoed.

"Sir Alton, you can lead them away now." Azaroth said before leaving.

Alton waved his hand, causing a purple winged magic bird to appear. He then jumped onto it, and shouted, "Follow me."

With that, he flew at a normal speed toward the city gates. The crowd followed after him and Wyomin flew at the back.

...

After they left the city, Lily and Sera heaved a sigh of relief while Max felt an invisible restriction lift off him.

Turning his head in a certain direction, he located the Dalton family's group and Count Wiley among the crowd, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
