The banquet was still going on.
Aristocratic ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes, young girls as shy as deer, sexy and enchanting beauties …
These beautiful women, who were rarely seen, were now crowding around him in groups, covering their lips with silk fans and giggling. Some were blushing and snuggling up to him, while others were casting flirtatious glances at him. Although the quality of the beauties here was far from as elegant and noble as that of the palace, they were more colorful and available for anyone to pick from.
After much effort, Jefferson finally got rid of the entanglement of the beauties and met with a dozen Knights of Light who had been waiting in a secret room behind the city hall.
"Viery, come and introduce us! I want to know how your preparations are going. " As soon as he stepped into the secret room, the faint smile on Jefferson's face disappeared, replaced by a strong killing intent.
The dozen Knights of Light bowed respectfully before sitting down. Viery, who was in charge of this operation, came forward to introduce the gathering of the Knights of Light.
"… 7 from Gutland City, 11 from Kovar City, 8 from Chevre City … So far, the number of demon hunters gathered in Heduran City has reached 1,513 … The knights' camp is being expanded, and supplies and equipment are being transported … Knight Gutland is in charge of the training … The previous team of knights led by Niyingte has arrived in Blue Hill City, but there is no news from them …"
Jefferson suddenly interrupted Viery's introduction. "How long has it been since Niyingte set off?"
"It's been seven days!" Viery hesitated for a moment. "When they arrived in Blue Hill City three days ago, they reported that they had found some unusual phenomena there. But after that, there was no contact … "
"Send someone to contact them as soon as possible, and tell them not to go in alone. You may have heard about the invasion of this plane. It's not that the creatures of the outer realm broke in unintentionally, but a more powerful material plane that has their eyes on us. So to prevent them from taking root here, we need to drive them out before they have a firm foothold. "
A Grade 3 Dragon Knight was almost the top force in this plane, and his words undoubtedly carried great authority. Hence, the many Radiant Knights could not help but look at each other, their minds filled with shock and fear.
Finally, Knight Vieri couldn't help but ask, "Sir Jefferson, can you determine which plane the intruder came from?"
"It doesn't matter which plane they're from, as long as you know that their plane's level is higher than ours!" Jefferson was also full of worries. "As long as they don't come from those terrible large planes, then there is nothing to be afraid of! After all, this is our world. Even if they manage to squeeze their way in, they will be severely restricted by the laws of the plane and won't be able to display much of their combat power. Don't forget that Lord Willis possesses the power of Tier 4, the limit of this plane! "
The Radiant Knights present nodded in agreement to the great Dragon Knight Jefferson's words.
The upper limit of power in the Knight Plane was 4, and no outsider could surpass this limit. If an outsider's strength had already reached Tier 4, the Planar Laws would weaken their strength the moment they entered the Knight's Plane. At that time, how could they possibly resist Lord Willis, who was at the peak of Tier 4?
Even if the intruder's strength exceeded Tier 4, after entering the Knight's Plane, his strength would be suppressed to Tier 4. At that time, it would be hard to tell who would win! However, the Demon Hunter Knights had the home advantage. If they were to really fight to the death, they would always have the advantage of numbers.
This was actually the biggest psychological advantage of the people present!
However, just as the high-ranking Demon Hunter Knights gathered together for a silent discussion, there were three to four black shadows silently shuttling back and forth in the night sky above the city lord's mansion. On the ridge of the secret room where they were gathered, a basin-sized vampire bat covered in pitch-black fur retracted its wings and slowly crawled on the roof.
This was, after all, a kingdom of knights, and the control and use of mysticism in all aspects was still very shallow and crude. In the Sorcerer World, any alarm spell formation or protection spell formation would be able to protect the secret room from any prying eyes from the outside world.
However, here, there was no large-scale use of mysticism power. Therefore, when this group of high-ranking Demon Hunters gathered together for a secret discussion, the main means of defense was to send a few Demon Hunter Knights to stand guard and patrol.
With this method, they could indeed prevent most of the prying eyes from the outside world. However, when their enemy was not humans, but a group of mysterious sorcerers from another plane, this method of fixed guards and mobile patrol was too simple and crude.
Even if they racked their brains, they would never have thought that the eavesdroppers would actually come from the sky. When the vampire bat stopped flapping its wings and slowly glided down from the dark night sky, even the Demon Hunter Knights who were vigilant and sharp could not detect it.
Seeing that one of their companions had successfully landed on the roof of the secret room, the rest of the bats quickly flapped their wings and flew towards the square in front of the city lord's mansion.
From afar, even though they were two miles away, they could still clearly see the two huge green dragons crouching on the brightly lit square.
At this time, a heavy carriage was slowly entering the square.
The carriages were no longer loaded with miscellaneous items like grains, fruits and vegetables, but large livestock that were screaming in fear. From the looks of it, they should be the Salo Beasts (a creature similar to domestic pigs on Earth) that the natives of this plane reared the most in captivity.
Perhaps they had smelled the stench of the giant dragons that were at the top of the food chain in this plane, the cows, sheep and Salo Beasts became agitated as soon as they entered the square. Their ear-piercing screams and cries filled the air of the silent square.
Hearing the cries of their food, the two green dragons instantly raised their long necks and opened their mouths slightly. Light green saliva dripped down from between their white, shiny fangs. The viscous saliva was obviously highly corrosive. When it dripped onto the ground, it would sizzle and corrode small holes on the bluestone floor.
The two green dragons couldn't hold back their desire to eat. They suddenly climbed up from the floor and leaped to the side of the carriage. They opened their mouths wide and bit the partition of the heavy carriage into pieces. Then, they pressed the cows and sheep under their front claws and ate them in big mouthfuls.
Although the green dragons were top-notch magical beasts, they were still wild beasts. Therefore, the scene of them eating was tragic. They did not even care about the safety of the human servants around them when they ate.
When the driver saw the giant dragons pouncing on him, he quickly jumped off the carriage and fled. If he was too slow, he would either be lifted into the air along with the carriage by the giant dragons and fall to his death, or become a dessert in the giant dragons' meal.
The two green dragons had obviously enjoyed countless offerings from humans. Therefore, they were extremely picky when it came to eating. Many of the cows and sheep, they often only ate the most delicious parts of the meat.
They would use their huge bodies to pounce on the food and use their sharp front claws to press it down. Then, they would use their sharp fangs to bite off their favorite parts. As for the rest of the body parts, they would just throw them away. The whole process was bloody and cruel! Therefore, in just a short while, the clean and tidy municipal square had become a bloody slaughterhouse filled with the blood of the animals.
Of course, the few little things floating in the dark sky in the distance did not escape the green dragons' powerful sense of smell and elemental perception.
The green dragon Isendley raised his head, and through his amber eyes, he scrutinized the little bugs that had a hint of a dark aura. After struggling in pain for a while, he finally gave up the urge to fly into the sky to kill them.
They were just a few bugs with weak dark elemental waves. They should not cause too much harm to this human city. Moreover, his master had warned him time and time again not to let him prey in the human city as he pleased.
Therefore, with delicious food in front of him, the green dragon Isendley quickly forgot about the few annoying little bugs and focused on enjoying the offerings from the humans.
It was the first time that a mutated creature like the Vampires had appeared in the plane of the knights. Otherwise, the green dragon Isendley would not have ignored them so easily. If the green dragon could hear the conversation between the Vampires from a distance of two miles, Isendley would swear to turn them into ashes even if he had to chase them to the ends of the world!
"I didn't expect these green dragons to eat food from the humans!"
"Yes, maybe this is our chance …"
"Yes, it must be the blessing of the Blood Ancestor that made these two big lizards so stupid …"
"Inform the Blood Ancestor immediately and get her to think of a way to get some powerful witch medicine. If we get rid of these green dragon medicines, maybe we can have a chance to taste the dragon blood … "
"That's a great idea! You guys keep watch here, I'll inform the Blood Ancestor now … "
The few Vampires floated in the dark sky, watching the green dragon's every move as they discussed animatedly. Soon, a vampire bat turned around, flapped its wings, and flew higher and higher, then turned around and flew in the direction of Blue Hill City.
However, at this moment, in another secret room in the city lord's mansion, Grand Duke Ellington was also having a secret discussion with a group of loyal subordinates and subordinates.
"Still haven't figured out their real goal?" The one who spoke was Grand Duke Ellington, who was frowning.
"There's no definite goal." An elderly general in golden armor shook his head and said, "Perhaps they don't even know what their target is."
"But they've been expanding the camp outside the city. I've personally gone to take a look. The expanded camp can accommodate at least 3000 demon hunters," a young general said in a low voice.
"3000? That's so many … "
"Heavens, that's 3000 demon hunters! Even in the last War of Evil, I'm afraid there weren't so many Demon Hunters! "
"We can't let them continue like this. Even with the number of demon hunters they have now, it's already a serious threat to Heduran City. "
"How many more soldiers can we mobilize from the surrounding cities?" Grand Duke Ellington asked calmly.
"Currently, Heduran City has gathered 20,000 city guards. Together with your 10,000 lord's guards, we can maintain a 25: 1 advantage. But if their numbers continue to increase, it will be difficult for us to maintain the balance of our forces … My Liege, you know that using the city guards to fight against the Demon-Hunter Knights is no different from sending them to their deaths when they have less than twenty times the number advantage! "
The old general's words resonated with everyone, and they could not help but hang their heads low.
Using a mortal army made up of commoners to fight against demon hunters with supernatural powers — without an absolute advantage in numbers, there was almost no hope of victory with just excellent tactics!
Therefore, facing the demon hunters' army, the many broken hair knights, Radiant knights, and the two dragon knights who were so powerful that they could only despair, the people could not muster up the courage to fight against them.
