Working Prophet.

Chapter 74
Miss Rabbit's tears were about to run dry, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

When she went out, there were 57 people in her team, but when she fled back to Teacup Castle, only 14 people were left, plus a dog.

The most important thing is that Li Yu was also given to the fief of Trinidad by her.

In fact, Yileiya has been counting the days when Li Yu will come back, but this time it happened to be on weekends, Li Yu left much longer than before, a total of eight days, and the girl was busy patrolling the territory , In the middle of the night, Trinidad lit a beacon for help, and she wanted to persuade Alfred to rush to save people.

In the confusion, he forgot about Li Yu's coming tonight.

When I think about it again, it is too late.

Thinking of this, the girl was heartbroken, her breathing was difficult, her heartbeat almost stopped, and she was paralyzed there, unable to do anything, as if she had lost her soul.

The new Patriarch of Arias is currently disconnected from the world because of Li Yu's death. Fortunately, other people are not affected by this incident.

In fact, apart from Jude, who had escorted Ilea all the way back to the green field and witnessed Li Yu's miraculous appearance and disappearance, and probably sensed something at that moment, the others didn't even know that Li Yu was here tonight.

As the group fled back to Teacup Castle in embarrassment, not long after, even the groom and the washerwoman in the castle knew that the lizardmen robbers who usually huddled in the swamp had formed a terrifying army of perhaps more than a thousand people.

The fief of the Knights of Trinidad has been occupied, and everyone on it has been killed, and they are marching in the direction of Teacup Castle.

Panic spread instantly. Some people were crying in the corner, praying to the Silver Moon Goddess, while others were worried about their loved ones and clamored to go home.

Alfred didn't stop anyone who wanted to leave, because he also needed these people to spread the news of the lizardmen's attack as much as possible, so that more villagers could be gathered to take refuge in the castle.

Ilea and her party fled back on horseback, while the lizardmen all walked. In addition, those guys are expected to burn, kill and loot along the way. When they get to the Teacup Castle, it will be tomorrow evening at the earliest.

And now there is still a short time before dawn, which means that they still have almost a daytime to act.

Of course, Alfred's gathering of people is not purely for saving people.

Defending the city requires manpower, not just soldiers, those villagers, especially the young and strong among them, can play a good role with a little training.

The Arias family had just lost a lot of elite soldiers, and the old knight also needed someone to fill in the vacancies.

In fact, speaking of it, he was a little thankful that Ilea insisted on supporting Trinidad before. If he stayed in the fiefdom of the Purple Sparrow Knight, and someone came to the door in the middle of the night, it would really be fatal.

Although some people were lost now, they saw the lizardmen all over the mountains and plains for the first time. Otherwise, even if someone came to report the news, the people in the castle would still have doubts about the authenticity of the matter.

After all, since the Arias family became the masters of this land, although the lizard people have invaded many times in the past 900 years, at most, there have never been more than a hundred people at one time.

Thousands of people popped up all of a sudden, and most people's first reaction when they heard this kind of news was to not believe it, and then sent people to investigate. After a while, those lizardmen probably had already hit the city.

At that time, none of the nearby civilians will survive.

Alfred ordered a beacon to be lit on the tower, and then came to the hall on the second floor of the castle.

At this time, most of the important people in the Teacup Castle have arrived, and some people are still wearing pajamas, but they don't pay attention to those noble etiquette anymore.

"What's the current situation in the castle, can we stop the attack of those lizardmen?" Alisa asked.

After saluting, the old knight replied, "There is enough food and grass in the teacup castle, which is enough to support us to hold on for a long time. The weapons and equipment are also quite rich, but the arrows are a little too small, and they happened to be consumed a while ago, only less than [-] support, but I have people doing it.

"The biggest problem is manpower. We only have 26 soldiers left, and half of them are too old. Fortunately, before Miss Ilea left, I also summoned [-] militiamen. There should be people fleeing into the castle in the future. , I can choose some more to use, it is unlikely to take the initiative to attack, but it should be no problem to defend the city."

"The carrots will be harvested in one month," someone sighed, "now it's all gone... In addition, with the ferocity of those lizard people, there will be no survivors wherever they go. This family has worked hard to manage it." The territory that has been occupied for so long will be turned into a piece of white ground."

His words also made many people fall into silence.

After a while, Ilea's uncle Lucio said anxiously while wiping his sweat, "When is this, you still have time to care about the life and death of carrots and those civilians, first think about what we should do, relying on what we have With this kind of people, there is no way to defeat those lizardmen and take back our land, so we will die sooner or later if we just sit in an isolated city like this."

"We need help." Alfred admitted.

"I have already released the carrier pigeon to report to Yanxue City." The new chief executive Yago said, "But even if the Marquis of Cullen is willing to send troops to rescue us, it will be ten days at the earliest, and..."

"Besides, it's almost the autumn harvest now, and he might delay the harvest if he sends out troops." Fausto, who has resigned from the position of chief executive and is now serving as an advisor by Ilea's side, said, "The Marquis of Cullen should come to the rescue. We, it's just that the time may be delayed until after the autumn harvest."

"It's too late," Lucio raised his voice, "What if we don't make it to that time, Alfred, you also said, it's just a preliminary estimate that there are thousands of lizardmen, what if there are more of them? .Two thousand? Five thousand? We're going to be in trouble.

"We need to borrow troops from our neighbors. They are closer to us, and the risk of delaying the harvest will be less, and those lizardmen may run to their territory to make trouble when they see that they can't eat our castle. For their own sake, they should help us too."

"The people around don't know what's going on in the Great Swamp of Gaigu. Who would believe that thousands of lizardmen can emerge there? In all honesty, if it wasn't for Ilea and Knight Alfred who saw it with their own eyes. Those guys, would you believe it yourself?" Alisa said calmly.

"Maybe we can ask the Silvermoon Church for help." Another idea came up, "Those hateful lizard people believe in their own terrifying evil god that cannot be killed, and they have openly blasphemed Piscia. Occupying this land, the glory of the goddess can no longer spread here."
