Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!

Chapter 166

When the Demon King arrived at Randal City, the entire Golden Banner was in a state of alert. They were worried that the Demon King was up to no good, and they were also worried that they would cause trouble if they did not serve the Demon King well.

Zhang Le Wen Xiao Pi said |

However, when he left, the entire city cheered. Everyone was thinking that the Demon King was finally gone. They were also thinking that the Demon King still had to deal with another Demon King. It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses.

Those who were slightly less knowledgeable or did not understand the key points of the situation were naturally cheering.

It was now the tenth day since the disaster in Randal City. Although the West of the Golden Banner had also started to fire, it was said that the Serpentis were leading three or four Orc tribes to attack this place. The Dark Element had also spread to the entire continent. For example, in the Golden Banner, the number of infected people had increased by more than ten times compared to the same season.

Snow Blade was slightly better. Perhaps because there was still some distance between them and Randal City, Essenmeer had hurriedly returned five days ago. He said that if he was any later, the country would fall into the hands of their Duke, and he, the King, would not have a place of his own.

King Kaelis stared at Essenmeer's chubby back and could not help but sneer. With that body of his, he would not be able to find a place to sit anywhere.

He knew what Essenmeer had returned to do. In fact, he and Dai Ka had also been busy with this matter for the past few days.

This was also the reason why the civilians were wild with joy. They were looking forward to the Demon King slaying the Demon King. However, they were not happy at all.

Because Roschinke said that as the Demon King, he was risking his life to fight for a better future for the demons. However, they should not be the only ones to do so. The other races must set an example.

Humans, Orcs, Merfolk, Elves, and even the Holy Light Elves and Moonlight Elves in the South, and the Dragons that lived in the dangerous wilderness. Every race had to send out some powerful fighters to stop the Serpentis and the other minions of the Demon King.

These powerful fighters were not ordinary high-level fighters. They were Master-level fighters or even higher.

Within each country, this was a treasure.

The Demon King had said that he wanted the strongest members of each race to take action, but it was impossible for there to be only generals and no soldiers in a war. In the end, there was a huge mess. Not only did the various guilds need to send people, even the palace almost pulled out a group of chefs to take up the role of cooks. The various cities also needed to urgently recruit soldiers, and the commoners were all recruited into the army.

Of the other races, only the Shaman and the Great Shaman came. The Chieftain did not come, but he had time to prepare. Only the Priest of the Mer-people was anxious. The Mer-people had been driven to the shallow sea by the Serpentis before, and now they only lived in a small bay.

A few years ago, when the Serpentis came ashore, they didn't care much about the Mer-people and gave them time to recuperate.

At that time, everyone in the Mermaid Clan heaved a sigh of relief, but now they knew that they were not recuperating, but fattening themselves up to be slaughtered.

The Priest of the Mer-people sent a letter back, but until now, there had been no response. He did not know how the Mer-people were doing.

This day was as gloomy as the previous nine days. It seemed that ever since the God of Darkness descended, there would no longer be sunlight in this world. However, it was obvious that the clouds in the sky were much cleaner than before. Perhaps after a few more rounds of rain, the environment in the city would improve greatly.

The Demon King was going to take action, and so was the "army" on the human side. There were about fifty people in total. The Mage Guild, Warrior Fortress, Adventurer Guild, Mercenary Guild, Illuminati's Great Priest and Gold Knight. Even the Thief Guild sent a Great Thief this time, but his face was covered. When asked why only one Thief came, he did not say anything.

Kaspinder did not come. It was said that if he still wanted to take the risk this time, his mother would tear his father apart. Even now, Chieftain Toloman was called a henpecked husband because of this.

This kind of big event required a leader. Logically speaking, the Demon King should be the one to lead them, but this seemed to be a loss of face.

However, this group of people was different from ordinary soldiers. They had never worked together before, so no one was willing to accept who was the leader. This time, the Pope's Fifth Guardian Knight, Gail, and the First Elder's Guardian Knight, Abigail, came. The two of them were equal in status and strength. Gail, as the Pope's Guardian Knight, could suppress Abigail, but he was not the Pope's First Knight. If they insisted on fighting at this time, not only would the two of them not be able to reconcile, it would also cause a dispute between the Pope and the Elders.

Why did they have to make a mistake at this time? Did the higher-ups want them to go out like a bunch of loose sand?

A person riding a pure white horse walked out of the city gate in a majestic manner and stopped in front of everyone.

"I am Hero Xu Jun. I will lead you to resist the Serpentis' invasion of the continent and assist the Demon King in killing the God of Darkness."

"Do you have any objections?"

Everyone fell silent. After a long while, they couldn't help but look at the Demon King.

The Demon King's expression was dark. No one could tell what he was thinking.

However, everyone unanimously felt that the Demon King … was probably going to die from anger.

_ (: 3. ∠) _ That's right. Who would have a family member follow a general to the frontlines? Wasn't it normal for family members to stay at home to make people feel more at ease …

Many people had the same thought, but they immediately reacted. Xu Jun wasn't just a simple "family member". His combat strength might even be stronger than two or three of them …

Perhaps because of this interruption, the tense atmosphere eased up a little. Many of them had family members in Randal City. Although they weren't absolutely safe, it was still better than running out and losing their lives. When they looked at the Demon King again, they felt an inexplicable sense of sympathy and schadenfreude.

If it was an ordinary merchant caravan, it would take at least a month to travel from Randal City to the seaside at the fastest speed. This was only possible because the humans' ability to tame beasts had improved. Forging and power sources had also improved. If it was a few hundred years ago, it would take at least two to three months to reach the seaside.

Even if Xu Jun and the others were riding on magical beasts and had brought many speed increasing scrolls, it would still take them five days to reach the seaside.

Although the Empire reared White Gryphons, there were very few of them. They weren't used to flying long distances, so they weren't useful.

Xu Jun knew a few dragons and had a good relationship with them. However, the dragons were prideful. How could they let someone else ride them?

Rance and Steamed Bun muttered to each other for two days. They came up with an idea. They would let Rance transform into his original form and tie a basket to his claws. However, he was still a little dragon. Not only could he not fly for long, his balance was also quite poor. Once he transformed into his original form and tied something to his body, it would be difficult for him to fly normally.

… There was a high chance of an accident happening.

In the end, they had no choice but to ride on their own mounts. Two Mages rode on flying carpets, one Warrior rode on a wolf, and the only Bandit got his hands on a four-legged lizard covered in iron armor. Although the lizard looked clumsy, it was quite fast.

Perhaps it was because most horse-type magical beasts were herbivores and couldn't help in battle, so other than Xu Jun, no one else chose to ride on a horse-type magical beast.

Xu Jun was riding a white horse. He usually looked mighty and handsome, but now he looked pitiful when compared to the giant wolves and lizards. He was running at the very front, and the white horse's hooves dug into the ground at an incomparably fast speed. The lizards and wolves behind him were panting as they chased after him.

The Giant Lizard, Giant Wolf, and the other mounts were not willing to be left behind by a horse, but because they were only Magic Beasts and not Orcs, and they did not know how to speak the human language, they could only use the Magic Beasts' language to "scold" the indecent white horse.

After the group came out of Randal City, they didn't choose to travel on the main roads. This time, they were all fighters who had experienced hundreds of battles and weren't squeamish. Although they weren't like Xu Jun who had traveled all over Fidelinopolis, they were still very familiar with the Golden Banner. Naturally, they wouldn't go into a ditch with their mounts.

Speaking of which, many of them were Xu Jun's acquaintances.

There were three mages, two women and one man. Previously, they fought with Xu Jun at an auction in the Dark City over an alchemy material. Later, they were thrown into jail for two days by the sheriff. The prison in the Dark City was small, and the cells were only separated by iron bars. They happened to be neighbors, and after cursing at each other for two days, they started to sympathize with each other. In the end, they were released from jail and even exchanged names. However, both sides had their own things to do, so they didn't meet again.

The warrior riding the giant dragon met Xu Jun in the wilderness. At that time, both of them were under the illusion of a mountain demon. They thought that each other was an enemy, so they fought in confusion. Fortunately, they didn't die.

As for the Rogue who had her face covered, she pulled down her mask and revealed herself to be a beautiful girl. However, the beautiful girl looked at Xu Jun like a knife. "Didn't you say that if the girls in White River Town don't want you, you'll come find me?!"

Xu Jun was speechless.

_ (: 3.gov.cn) _ It's not good to be so popular.

Fortunately, Roschinke wasn't going the same way as them. Your Majesty The Demon King had already flown off to god knows where. Otherwise, if he heard these words, he would eat Xu Jun raw.

— — For some reason, he felt a little excited when he thought about eating raw.

Xu Jun looked calm on the surface, but he was crying on the inside. He realized that he could no longer be an old driver who spouted dirty jokes.

Because when it came to dirty jokes, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. _ (: 3/∠) _

On the first night, everyone arrived at Salt Lake City, west of the Golden Banner. Because their mounts were too fierce, they didn't choose to enter the city. Instead, they spent the night in the wilderness. Fortunately, everyone was used to adventuring in the wilderness, so no one said anything.

However, the mounts had a lot to say. The white horse that Xu Jun rode was fast and beautiful. On the first day, he won the hearts of all the mounts.

When it was time to rest, a giant wolf, a giant lizard, two lightning leopards, a flying tiger, and a few other magical beasts whose lineage Xu Jun couldn't recognize at first glance all gathered around Xu Jun's white horse.

Jess was having a mental breakdown. Damn, these magical beasts … are too ugly!

Xu Jun gave her a sideways glance. "Oh, Jess, feel the pain of Steamed Bun back then."

Jess, who had replaced Steamed Bun on the frontlines, had to disguise herself as a white horse to not be discovered. "… Then I really was a scum back then."

But he couldn't speak, so he could only hum like a human. Oh, so angry.

The Author Has Something to Say: When I signed the contract three years ago, I got to know a lot of friends who wrote novels with me. Later on, some of them continued to write, while others stopped writing. Among them, there were two naughty kids who occasionally came back to say that they wanted to write well, but disappeared the next day.

These two kids came back again today. I said that they could form a group called Pigeons of Two People, but they were not convinced.

→ _ → I really want to beat them up for their readers.

I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
