Chapter 56 Deploy troops and generals
"Dear adventurers, I am Jolin Constance, the mayor of Roserowe. I'm sure many of you know me, so I won't introduce myself in detail. I think everyone is very curious about why President Drayton and I gathered everyone here at such a late hour. Please take a look at this scene and everyone will understand."

After Qiao Lin finished speaking in a low voice, he raised the magic wand in his hand.

"projection."

A light curtain was suspended in mid-air, and a scene recorded by the magic of 'Image Appendix' began to play.

Densely packed magical beasts were like a swarm of locusts. Goblins, forest elves, ghouls, vipers, wind wolves, griffins, cyclops and other magical beasts living deep in the Sloda Forest all appeared on the screen one by one.

They kept rushing forward, and several adventurers were terrified by the doomsday scene. Before they could come to their senses, they were easily trampled away. The last bright red stain on the scene dyed the entire screen red.

"this…"

Many adventurers looked at each other in bewilderment. Some experienced adventurers had already turned serious. They probably guessed the meaning of the video that Qiao Lin showed them.

"As everyone has seen, the monsters in the Sloda Forest are attacking Roseloway without hesitation for some unknown reason. Judging from the current speed, it won't be long before they reach Roseloway. It will be too late to evacuate."

"What???"

The whole hall suddenly exploded like a frying pan.

"Are you kidding me? So many monsters? How is that possible?"

"How can we possibly defeat them? Let's prepare to escape!"

"What will happen to the residents of Rozerowe if we all leave?"

"Aren't there still soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"We can't defend the city with just those soldiers."

……

It was the first time that Luo Qiu saw Xia’s face become so ugly. She clenched her fists tightly, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xia's home is in Roserowe. When encountering such a thing, even a heartless girl would understand the seriousness of the matter.

"I beg you to lend a helping hand to Rose Lowe."

Qiao Lin lowered his head and prayed to the adventurers.

As the lord of a city, Qiao Lin's image is still very tall in the minds of adventurers, and he is willing to bow his head to them.

An adventurer shouted in a shrill voice: "Are you kidding me? I don't want to die in a place like this!"

His unconcealed voice made Drayton and Qiao Lin's faces change. You know, if someone takes the lead, it will have a huge impact on others.

The silver-level adventurer didn't care what others thought of him. He continued, "I, Brill, will become a glory-level adventurer in the future. How can I wait to die here? Sorry, I have to leave first."

After saying that, he left the Adventurer's Guild without looking back.

With him in the lead, many people followed and left one after another. Although some people seemed hesitant, they still followed the main group after seeing so many people leaving.

Drayton had a gloomy expression on his face and was about to say something when he was stopped by Qiao Lin.

"City Lord?" Drayton didn't understand why Qiao Lin wanted to stop him.

These adventurers enjoyed the benefits given to them by the guild all day long, but they were the first to run away at the critical moment. This made Drayton furious. After all, the original intention of establishing the Adventurer's Guild was to resist the invasion of monsters.

Take Brill for example. Drayton put a lot of thought into his growth, but he didn't expect to raise an ungrateful person in the end.

"Let them go. There's no use for them to stay." Qiao Lin seemed very calm at this time. "Humph! Don't let me see them again." At this time, Drayton could only say something harsh.

His heart was bleeding. Letting so many people go would result in a huge loss of combat power.

After a long time, no one left, and at this time only two-thirds of the original people were left in the hall.

The originally overcrowded situation also eased a lot.

Luo Qiu and Xia stood in the corner of the hall, observing the adventurers who stayed behind.

Almost all of them are older people, most of whom have already settled in Roserowe. They cannot abandon their families and have no choice but to fight.

Among them, Luo Qiu saw Corriveau and his teammates at a glance.

As a silver-level adventurer, his team was surrounded by many people, and he was talking to them with a serious face.

“I’m glad so many people are still here.”

Qiao Lin continued, "I originally thought it would be great if half of the people could stay, but everyone really gave me a pleasant surprise."

Qiao Lin is worthy of being the lord of a city. Even at this time, he remains calm.

"Lord City Lord, I think you should have some countermeasures. Even if all of us risk our lives, we can't defeat these monsters." Corrivo asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I won't make a fearless sacrifice. I have already used message magic to inform the imperial capital. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered the three cities of Hongfei, Yourono, and Lamandy to send troops to support us. We only need to hold on until the reinforcements arrive to be considered victorious."

Finally, we heard some good news, but we still can't feel at ease. The three cities of Hongfei, Yourono and Lamandy mentioned by Qiao Lin just now are relatively close to Roserowe, but even if their reinforcements arrive, it will take at least two days.

In other words, they need to defend Roserowe for two days at all costs. Otherwise, even if reinforcements arrive, they will only see a desolate place destroyed by those monsters.

Qiao Lin waved his magic wand, and the original recording screen turned into a map of the area around Rose Lowe.

Qiao Lin raised his magic wand and pointed at a place a little further away from the city gate on the map and said, "This is the best range for the city defense cannons. When the monsters step in here, all twelve city defense cannons on the city gate will be activated. However, due to the limited reserves of magic stones used as energy, they can only reduce the number of monsters by about one tenth at most."

"From now on, I will rely on your strength."

"Lord City Lord, why don't you activate the magic barrier that protects the city?" Another silver-level adventurer asked.

"That's what I want to say now." Qiao Lin said seriously, "People get tired. Even if you are elite adventurers, you will be very tired after a long battle. According to our speculation, the city defense barrier can only last for half a day after it is opened. This precious time needs to be used for you to get enough rest."

"After the monsters are attacked by the magic cannons, their momentum and attack power will be reduced. This is the best time for us to attack them. Once the magic power of the magic barrier protecting the city is used up, we will probably have no choice but to fight to the death."

"Starlight Trading Company will also fully support us this time. Every adventurer who participates in the battle will receive a supply of materials from Starlight Trading Company."

"As for the specific battle layout, President Drayton will explain it in detail."

……

"What are you going to do?" Luo Qiu asked the girl who had been silent since she came out of the Adventurer's Guild.

"Hey, third-rate adventurer."

"Ok?"

"I have a favor to ask of you."
