Chapter 185: The Meeting (Part 2)
On the other hand, Alchemists became a less popular job class.
This job class didn't seem very combat-oriented, and with Hallyne away from Ulon City these days, not many people changed their job class to Alchemist.
Now that it's finally possible to fight demons, everyone is excited.
But some people were doubtful, "Can we really defeat the demons? The veteran players said that demons are very high-level and hard to beat."
If they weren't tough, the human front lines wouldn't have collapsed.
No one among them had the analytical skills of Spicy Flavor Fairy.
Looking at the quest details, they guessed, "Since the system wants us to fight the demons, the level difference shouldn't be too big. We should be fine."
The next day, players went to the western forest in batches.
Hanjun watched with satisfaction as the players worked hard.
Ulon City's construction progress was nearing completion, and the heroes were focused on leveling up.
After negotiations with Father Barry, the Adventurers' Guild finally selected a president for the Ulon City Adventurers' Guild, so all adventurers could now follow the orders from Ulon City.
The adventurers came from all sorts of job classes, but there were no wizards or warlocks among them.
Hanjun also gave them tasks.
Overall, Ulon City was running smoothly, just waiting for their enemies to arrive.
One noon, the sun was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the sky darkened, making it look like it was going to rain.
The demon army finally arrived, slowly but surely.
At that moment, all the players received an urgent notification for the main quest.
...
[ Quest Objective: Survive ]
[ Quest Details: The demon army has reached Ulon City. For the people behind you and the entire world of eorera, help Ulon City survive! Perhaps this battle is the only hope for the world of eorera. ]
[ Quest Difficulty: Hard ]
[ Quest Rewards: Experience Points +3,000,000, Favorability with the Church of Light +50, Favorability with the God of Light +10, Equipment Rewards... ]
...
Wow, even after completing the main quest, the favorability with the God of Light is still so low. Your journey continues on mvl
The system sure is stingy!
Despite the complaints, the players were still very excited about this quest.
It felt like they were about to become part of history.
They were trembling with excitement, almost too overwhelmed to speak, eagerly waiting to see what would happen next.
Hanjun stood on the city wall, looking at the dark mass in the distance.
The captain of the Royal Knights, Jenlyns, stood on his left side, and Father Barry on his right side.
None of the three of them spoke.
Jenlyns had already seen this sight of the demon army before and remained calm.
But for Father Barry, it was the first time witnessing such a scene.
Using "thousands of troops" to describe the demon army was not enough.
Even though they looked as small as ants from a distance, Father Barry knew that the demon army was endless.
With their sheer numbers alone, they might be able to trample over all of Ulon City.
For the first time, he wondered, could Ulon City really hold out this time?
Suddenly, Hanjun spoke up, "Don't worry, we can do it."
Jenlyns was thinking about whether he should boost morale since, at the very least, those people around him couldn't look dispirited.
But one word from Hanjun was enough to lift Father Barry's spirits.
It was clear that Father Barry was a devoted follower of the Church of Light.
Jenlyns thought to himself.
Hanjun glanced at Jenlyns, and Jenlyns immediately understood what he wanted to convey.
He turned around and looked at his many companions before him, his gaze suddenly becoming determined, "My fellow warriors, the time has come for us to save the world! Behind you stand your families, your friends, and your loved ones. Do you have the confidence to protect them?!"
The answer to Jenlyns's question was a thunderous cheer.
"Oh!!"
With their spirits are lifted, Jenlyns began to prepare for the battle.
Jenlyns said, "The good news is, this is not the only place where the demons are attacking, so we won't have to face all of the demon forces here."
Master PungPong and his team also participated in this battle meeting.
Spicy Flavor Fairy calmly asked, "And what's the bad news?"
Jenlyns gave a playful smile and replied, "The bad news is that even so, the number of demon troops is far more than we estimated. They could crush Ulon City with their sheer numbers alone."
Everyone present fell silent when they heard this.
Although they knew there were a lot of demons, they hadn't realized the exact scale until Jenlyns pointed it out.
After looking around at everyone, Jenlyns said, "Let's discuss the battle plan now."
A representative from the Adventurer's Guild asked, "Didn't you say the demons could crush Ulon City with just their numbers? How are we supposed to plan a battle under these circumstances? Isn't it certain death?"
Jenlyns remained unfazed. Previously, on the human defense front, it was always the armies of different countries fighting, without involving adventurers.
This led to many people not understanding the situation with the demons.
Jenlyns didn't argue much about this.
He sat back, crossed his legs, and said, "So what do you want to do? Just give up and quit? Should we all run away and let the demons wipe out all of humanity?"
The adventurer was at a loss for words.
Jenlyns then spoke more seriously, "Are you here just to run away? Let me tell you, we are standing here for our families, and we are willing to give our lives for that. If you don't have this kind of determination, then you'd better leave now!"
By the end, his tone had become quite harsh.
The adventurer's face turned red with embarrassment, unable to lift his head, and of course, he had nothing to say.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Jenlyns nodded his head in satisfaction and continued, "Ulon City can still hold out against the demons for now, and our people can go out of the city to fight. My only concern is if the demons use forbidden spells against Ulon City. One forbidden spell and Ulon City would no longer exist."
