?969 Raising the Morale

Noel stood on top of a podium, witnessed by almost all the people from his territory. The soldiers were obviously at the very front.

He was accompanied by Anna and Howard by his side.

The people couldn't help but look at this youth before them. Most of them weren't aware of Noel's appearance due to him isolating himself in either his workplace or his mansion.

However, those whose workshops were visited knew the identity of this man.

"Is that the lord?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah. It's weird for him to gather us here."

"Haven't you heard the rumor about the Supreme Devil Organization?"

"Right? It seems that they are about to send tens of thousands of demons to our place."

"What? Will we be destroyed?"

"No way. This city is splendid, but it's not fully built yet. So, I don't want it to be destroyed."

"That's right. Why would those terrorists harm us? Where is the kingdom?"

"There's no way those people will send reinforcement here. I heard they executed the lord's parents in the past. They must want him dead."

"Then..."

The people were quite scared because of the incoming attacks. How could they not? The scale of this attack was far bigger than anything everyone had seen before. Their city hadn't been completed as well.

However, some of them gritted their teeth and said, "If that's the case, I'm going to fight on the wall too. I don't have the same ability as the soldiers, but I can release some arrows. I can even bring items to the top of the wall if necessary."

"That's right. I have confidence in my stamina."

"This place can't be destroyed. It's the place where our dream lies."

Their words echoed from across the street, making people realize how wonderful the city was. It was a dream for the commoner to have a chance to get a good life with treatment beyond that of a noble.

They had to protect this place from their enemies. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

After a lot of whispers, Howard suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Silence!"

The people were startled by his voice. It was loud and echoed through the city, thanks to the help of spiritual energy.

They all couldn't help but look at Howard with a dumbfounded expression.

"Some of you might have known me, but..." Howard raised his hand and introduced himself. "My name is Howard, Ardagan Family's Garrison Captain!"

"The captain?"

"I heard the captain is a strong man from the soldiers."

"I understand that you are terrified. The enemy is that notorious organization, while many of us are normal people. And if you do fight, many of you will lose your lives.

"However, do you know why they want to destroy us? Take a look at the people around you. Have you seen their smiles? Or maybe you have grown tired of it.

"I want this city to be the pillar of ushering in a brand new era, a city where people get what they deserve and live like proper human beings. But because they are afraid of our land, they are trying to destroy this city. That's right. They are so afraid of us that they need so many demons to attack us.

"That's why we will fight. We will show them that this city will be the zero point of the new era. We will show them that we don't have to fear the Supreme Devil Organization anymore. Instead, they should be the ones to fear us!

"WE ARE STRONG!" Noel paused for a moment.

One of the younger people couldn't help but stand up while shouting, "My lord. This city fills me and my mother with hope. My dad died because of the brutality of the previous city and it was only after arriving in this city that my mom started to smile again. I promised him I'd protect my mother. No way, I'm not gonna let my mother lose her smile anymore!"

The woman next to him teared up. She was proud and grateful.

"My lord. I couldn't become a soldier because I lost my hand, but I can still wield a spear to fight."

"My lord. I might only be a carpenter, but I can still wield my spear if necessary."

"My lord, I might be a woman, but I can still release an arrow or help with anything."

"I'll fight too!"

"Please allow me to fight too!"

"My lord. Me too!"

"We're done being weak."

"Rise up, everyone."

"It's time for us to instill fear in those treacherous bastards."

"That's right. We're done being the oppressed!"

"We'll show them our courage."

"Uooohhhh!"

The people couldn't help but stand up as a sign of joining the battle. They all roared the same thing. "We chose to fight!"

While hearing the voices filled with energy, Dimitri couldn't help but smile. He remembered the time that Luke Ardagan helped the people, the people were only on the receiving end, satisfied that they got the help they needed.

But Noel was different. He didn't want the citizens to only receive. Instead, he inspired the citizens to believe that they were not so weak that they could only do nothing but rely on their lord. They could do the same thing.

As Noel said earlier, this city would become the land that would create a new brand era. The runes made it possible for even normal people to fight the demons.

"Maybe I've grown too old." Balott rubbed both his eyes, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"This is the man who will surpass all the previous heads of the Ardagan Family." Jasmine smiled excitedly. She was quite frustrated that she couldn't do it more recently.

Noel raised his hand and shouted, "I have heard your resolve. This battle will determine the new brand era. Will we be etched into history as the vanquished? Or will we fight for our survival and emerge victorious?

"Without a doubt, we will be under the protection of the ancestors of the Ardagan Family.

"In one hour, the demons will arrive at our door. We shall kill every single demon and crush the Supreme Devil Organization.

"If you have any doubts, just look at my back. I, Noel, will show you that we, too, can fight back."
