969 Raising the Morale

Noel stood on top of a podium, witnessed by almost all the people from his territory. The soldiers were obviously at the very front.

He was accompanied by Anna and Howard by his side.

The people couldn't help but look at this youth before them. Most of them weren't aware of Noel's appearance due to him isolating himself in either his workplace or his mansion.

However, those whose workshops were visited knew the identity of this man.

"Is that the lord?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah. It's weird for him to gather us here."

"Haven't you heard the rumor about the Supreme Devil Organization?"

"Right? It seems that they are about to send tens of thousands of demons to our place."

"What? Will we be destroyed?"

"No way. This city is splendid, but it's not fully built yet. So, I don't want it to be destroyed."

"That's right. Why would those terrorists harm us? Where is the kingdom?"

"There's no way those people will send reinforcement here. I heard they executed the lord's parents in the past. They must want him dead."

"Then…"

The people were quite scared because of the incoming attacks. How could they not? The scale of this attack was far bigger than anything everyone had seen before. Their city hadn't been completed as well.

However, some of them gritted their teeth and said, "If that's the case, I'm going to fight on the wall too. I don't have the same ability as the soldiers, but I can release some arrows. I can even bring items to the top of the wall if necessary."

"That's right. I have confidence in my stamina."

"This place can't be destroyed. It's the place where our dream lies."

Their words echoed from across the street, making people realize how wonderful the city was. It was a dream for the commoner to have a chance to get a good life with treatment beyond that of a noble.

They had to protect this place from their enemies.

After a lot of whispers, Howard suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Silence!"
