Chapter 104 Helpers
When Dikao held the city lord order, he didn't think there was anything special, but when Norm said he wanted to give it to him, and he agreed, it changed.
As a demon, the moment he promised Nom to accept the order of the city lord, this city was his.
Since the city has fallen into the hands of the demons, the city will naturally not be protected by the gods, so the formation has been transferred.
Dikao did not expect that the city lord order would have such a role. He did not intend to take down the Holy City so soon. After all, this would be equivalent to announcing his invasion of the Diranta Empire to all the surrounding countries, which would arouse vigilance.
What's more, Dikao has always considered himself a steady player and is usually not impulsive if he is not sure about things.
But now the original plan has been completely disrupted. Even if you hand over the city lord order to Nom now, it will be useless. You can only make mistakes.
After giving the order, Fiana opened the window and flew out, heading straight for Mihal's castle.
Norm immediately woke up the housekeeper and servants and started to pack up his things. At the same time, he was glad that the glass greenhouse had not officially started to be built, and the materials were still placed in his own space ring. He could wait until the capital Sunshine City before continuing to try to make them.
Although the housekeeper and servant didn't know what was going on, they still executed Norm's orders as soon as possible and immediately began to pack up their things.
…………
Dikao also flew out of the window and jumped onto the roof to observe the surroundings.
Many people began to light up the candles, and at the same time, many people held up torches to see what was going on.
Many people shouted on the street that the city was occupied and ran away quickly.
The municipal administrator immediately summoned the guards to gather, then ran to the roof of the city hall to grab the wooden hammer and knocked on the gong next to it.
"Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—"
After hearing this sound, the guards guarding the city immediately walked down the city wall, strengthened the city gate and stood in two rows with their backs facing the city gate. The row in front held shields, and the spear in the back stretched out from the gap between the shields to form a line of defense.
Dikao, who flew into the sky, was a little confused when he saw this scene.
"Want to lock down?" Dikao was a little confused, then shook his head, "Forget it, it's better to say that this is more conducive to the next plan..."
He didn't know that because the municipal administrator did not see any signs of a large-scale invasion of the demons, he thought that the demons were all outside the city, so he immediately blocked the city gate and also prevented the people inside from leaving.
Dikao took advantage of the night to fly around the Holy City and saw many people packing up their things and preparing to run away. However, because he did not see the danger with his own eyes, he was not yet very desperate and chaotic.
However, this situation will definitely not last long. In this era, every city has no shortage of ruffians.
In this case, these ruffians need the most attention, and the chaos at the beginning is often caused by these people.
Dikao was not in a hurry to show up, no matter how he said he was only one person.
It is easy to slaughter the entire city now, but it is a bit troublesome to accept it in full.
However, some necessary precautions also need to be taken!
Thinking of this, Dikao thought about it and waved his hand gently in the air.
"Crack click..."
The ground outside the city suddenly began to gradually appear cracks, and these dense and tiny cracks surrounded the entire sacred city.
Countless low-level skeleton soldiers stretched out their hands from the cracks, slowly crawled out of the ground, and stood outside the city without moving.
Dikao doesn't need them to attack the city, just let the guards on the city wall see it, and it's enough to create some pressure, so that they dare not open the city gate easily.
So the summoned tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers did not do any moves, but surrounded the entire sacred city and stood there motionless.
The guards on the city wall discovered these skeleton soldiers immediately.
"Enemy attack--Demon invasion--!"
The roar was higher and higher, and it soon reached the ears of all the guards.
The commander on the night climbed up the city wall and saw a moat nearly ten meters wide, all composed of skeleton soldiers.
The bare head of the pure white skeleton soldier reflected light slightly under the moonlight. He stood motionless not far from the city wall, looking extremely strange.
"What's going on? Why didn't they attack?" The commander of Shiya frowned and asked as if he was talking to himself.
"I don't know, they just came out like this." The guard next to him replied, "Would they be waiting for orders?"
"It's very likely!" the commander nodded, "No matter what, since there is no attack now, we should not act rashly and ask people to come over like something. If they attack later, they will smash it down!"
"yes!"
…………
"Oh my God, what have you done?"
Nathan paced back and forth in the office, muttering to himself loudly, "And that old bastard Edward! You must know that Norm has become a Fallen! Damn!"
A layer of fine beads of sweat had already oozed out of his head. No matter what, it was a great humiliation to lose a piece of territory now!
No matter what the result of this incident, he, as a municipal administrator, has finished his work. The only difference is that if he can be regained, his life can still be preserved; but if he can't be regained...
Thinking of this, Nathan shivered and had goose bumps all over his body.
Suddenly, a guard rushed in with a look of horror.
"Sir! We are surrounded!" The guards' voices were trembling, "There are dense skeleton soldiers everywhere..."
"What?"
Nathan was stunned, then shouted, "Tell Turner, hold on! Don't let them attack in!"
"Sir, the skeleton soldiers have not attacked yet, they have just surrounded the Holy City..."
"No attack yet?" Nathan narrowed his eyes, "Are you waiting for an order? In short, be alert. Once they start attacking, they must withstand it!"
"Abide by the order!"
The guard replied, clenched his fist with his right hand and hit his chest hard, turning around and leaving.
…………
Dikao has been flying in the sky all the time, and under the cover of night, no one has discovered it.
Thanks to the fact that it is still the first midnight, once it is almost dawn, his figure will become extremely conspicuous in the air.
At Fyana's speed, it would take at least twenty-four hours to go back and notify Mihal to fly over.
In other words, you have to wait until this time tomorrow to come as soon as possible. During this period, you must stabilize the situation.
It’s not enough to rely on yourself alone, you need a few assistants!
Thinking of this, Dikao decided to go to Edward, the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
...
Edward had been woken up by his servant to inform him of his current situation. After hearing the butler's report, he immediately thought of the causes and consequences.
But I was not too worried. At least judging from the attitudes of Mihal and those necromancers in the northern part of the Demon Realm, even if the Demon King obtained the Holy City, the possibility of slaughtering humans was very small, because this was a Demon King who understood the way of business.
So now there is no need to worry about whether there will be any dangerous problems. What we should worry more about is how the Demon King Dicao will deal with this city.
After putting on his clothes, Edward was thinking, but the window suddenly opened and a cool breeze poured in from outside.
Edward was about to ask the servant to close the window, but suddenly he found that the servant behind him looked at the chair opposite him in surprise.
Turning back, I saw a man already appeared on the chair opposite, with a tough but handsome face and a red hair hanging from his shoulders.
Coupled with a black windbreaker and a blood-red cloak, Edward was stunned for a momentum on his body.
He is quite impressed by this person. He is obviously an adventurer, but he is very knowledgeable when talking about the price.
But at this moment, Edward had already identified the identity of the visitor. After taking a deep breath, he waved his hand and asked the servant to go out.
After the servant went out, Edward clenched his fist in his right hand and put it on his chest, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "For the first time we met, Your Majesty the Demon King!"
"You should still remember me?" Dikao asked with a smile, his tone very relaxed.
"Remember!" Edward nodded, "But this is still your first meeting as your true identity!"
"Okay..." Dikao waved his hand casually, "You know everything. To be honest, this is also an accident for me. But since this has come, I need your help!"
"Please give me instructions!" Edward replied.
"I don't want the city to be in chaos. I want to control the situation as soon as possible and need your help!" Dikao said.
really!
Edward thought to himself that as expected, the Demon King did not want to massacre the city, so things would be much easier to say.
"Very honor!" Edward replied, "What does His Majesty the Demon King need me to do?"
"Use your influence to calm the public and stop the gangsters who take the opportunity to make trouble!" Dikao said.
"It's easy ahead, but His Majesty the Demon King, my servant is not as powerful as a guard, so you need the assistance of others in this regard."
"who?"
"City administrator, Nathan!" Edward replied, "The guards will obey his orders!"
"Then please accompany me to see him!" Dikao stood up and said.
"Of course it's okay, I'll prepare the carriage now..."
"No need to be so troublesome!"
Dikao took two steps forward, grabbed Edward's back collar, spread his wings and flew directly out of the window.
"ah--"
Edward, who flew into the sky, screamed.
"Quiet!" Dikao said impatiently, "Let me show you the way!"
"Yes..." Edward nodded while patting his chest, pointing his fingers in one of the directions, "Over there!"
