Chapter 110 The Barbarians Are Coming

The barbarians are coming!

The news spread throughout the town immediately.

Almost at the same time Jayce discovered the barbarians, Mayor Ruper, who was waiting for news near the fields, also spotted a figure charging in the distance, alerted by a soldier.

His vision went black, and he almost fell backward, but fortunately, the soldier next to him dutifully supported his back.

This prevented the town mayor from losing too much face in front of his subordinates.

"Why did the barbarians suddenly appear?"

It's clearly not time to hand over the Grinding Fruit yet, could it be that the barbarians can't wait?

"Quickly, bring everyone over here! We absolutely cannot let them rush into the fields!" the mayor shouted hurriedly. "Oh, and quickly send someone to call Captain Jeff back."

Immediately, several soldiers stepped out of the ranks and ran in different directions.

The soldiers behind the mayor, still supporting him and unable to leave, anxiously asked, "Mayor, should we open the defensive barrier?"

"Yes, yes!" The mayor finally remembered that his town still had a trump card. "I'll go and invite the wizard."

The town mayor finally stood up on his own.

He dragged his exhausted body to the tower's main entrance and, disregarding manners, pounded on it forcefully.

"Lord Shire, Lord Shire, the barbarians are attacking! The barbarians are attacking!"

Although it has been a long time since we have been directly invaded by barbarians, the legends of their terror and bloodshed have never ceased.

This is why, even though girls have died one after another from the fruit of the millstone, most people in the town are unwilling to leave.

But the mayor knocked on the door for a long time, and still no one answered.

He started to panic.

Has Lord Shelly already begun?

That shouldn't be the case.

He would torture the girls before he started each time.

Based on the current pace, we should have just started the appetizer and could stop at any time.

"Lord Shelley! Lord Shelley!" Mayor Ruper raised his voice, the trembling at the end betraying his unease.

Barbarians are incredibly strong individually; figures that were just moments ago far away have now arrived several kilometers away in the short time it takes for everyone to panic.

Soldiers with good eyesight could even see the primitive weapons they were wielding.

Several soldiers dragged three- or four-meter-long anti-submarine fences between the empty houses and the towers.

The fence just looked like a decoration, so ridiculous.

Others brought ranged weapons, such as bows and arrows, and spears.

Although these weapons are placed in an empty house next to the open space, they have not been used for many years and have been neglected in maintenance.

They are rarely attacked by powerful enemies, and even if there are occasional fools, the wizard can handle them.

But today.

Their wizard remained silent. Mayor Rupert attempted to force his way into the tower without permission, only to find he couldn't even open the door.

Jayce, who was hiding in the shadows, was startled when he saw this scene. Could it be that the tower's door could not be opened from the outside?

If he and Ada rushed over, they would find they couldn't even get through the door...

Ada was equally frightened after witnessing this scene, but when he thought of Penny inside the tower, he became even more anxious.

"The mayor won't answer the door. Has that wizard already started to make a move on Penny?" Ada tugged at Jayce's sleeve, already starting to imagine the worst possible outcome.

Jayce looked at Ada's pale face and knew what he was worried about, but at this moment he could only comfort him, "The barbarians are here, but this is actually our opportunity. If that wizard doesn't want to see the barbarians enter the town, he will definitely stop whatever he is doing."

Jayce glanced at the empty house behind them.

"This place is usually unoccupied. Let's go in and hide first, and wait for that wizard to come out before taking the opportunity to enter the tower and find Penny."

Ada glanced at the tower again. Mayor Ruper had already sent men to ram the tower's doors, but they remained unmoved.

Meanwhile, the barbarians in the distance had already arrived in front of the town!

Ada grabbed Jayce, "Jayce, you should go back to town and hide."

It will be very dangerous here once the barbarians break through the town's fragile defenses!

Jayce shook off Ada's hand, saying, "I don't trust you with my daughter!"

On the other side, the first barbarian had already run to the fence.

He saw the soldiers and his mouth watered with excitement.

Another barbarian ran up, looked at the fence in front of him, and stopped in place, somewhat bewildered.

Finally, someone couldn't resist and fired the first arrow at the barbarian.

Although the barbarian wasn't very bright, he had a natural instinct for combat.

He dodged to the side, leaving only a light, faint bloodstain on his shoulder and arm.

Upon seeing blood, the barbarian roared, his excitement just beginning.

He kicked the fence, and the entire fence slid backward a considerable distance, even knocking down several soldiers.

"Mayor, the barbarians are approaching! Captain Jeff is not here. Please take charge of the defense!" A soldier ran over and shouted to the mayor, who was still guarding the tower.

"Defense, command... Do you really think these rotten iron and wood can hold off barbarians? Call him Lord Sheri! Only if he activates the magical defense can we survive! What use are you? What use are you all?"

Seeing the town mayor, who was so anxious he was practically delirious, the soldier silently took two steps back, his face full of disbelief. In the end, he could only run back to join the hasty defense.

The front lines have begun fighting, but as Mayor Rupert said, the soldiers are retreating steadily, and as soon as they fall, the barbarians will chop off their heads.

Panic began to spread, and they soon lost their position.

"Father!" A middle-aged man rode up from the town on horseback, carrying a bundle on his back.

He rode up behind the mayor, jumped off, threw the bundle off his back, and shoved it at the mayor.

"Father, take this, use this..."

The mayor was finally brought back to his senses by his son. He touched the long, thin fruit in the package and gradually regained his composure.

Having relied on the wizard for so long, he was at a loss when he suddenly lost contact with him.

"You're right. Those barbarians came here simply to get this, so let's give it to them first."

The mayor's son then asked in a low voice, "These were originally intended as tribute for this summer. If we use them, things might get difficult this summer."

The mayor knew this too, but he gritted his teeth. "Let's focus on the present. Lord Shirley is at a crucial moment in his promotion; we can't disturb him. Oh, and keep knocking on the door. Once Lord Shirley notices us, quickly activate the defenses!"

Seeing his father, who was already rambling incoherently, the middle-aged man could only nod in agreement.

Rupert ran toward the barbarians carrying the package, but when he saw the corpses scattered on the ground and the heads held high by the barbarians, he stopped in a panic.

He summoned a trusted soldier and said, "Take this to the barbarians, to the one with the painted face."

The trusted soldier took the package and immediately figured out what was inside.

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Mayor... now? In front of everyone?"

Shouldn't this be a private deal between a wizard and a barbarian?

If we give the Grinding Fruit to the barbarians now, wouldn't the townspeople know that the production of Grinding Fruit hasn't decreased at all, but has simply been given to the barbarians?

Why don't the angry villagers tear them apart?

"If you don't want those barbarians to storm into town and cut your family in half, then go now!" The mayor shoved the soldier without further ado.

The mayor breathed a slight sigh of relief as he watched his trusted soldier run toward the barbarians.

He hurriedly ran back to his son, wanting to say something more.

Suddenly, he saw his son looking behind him with a terrified expression, and he quickly turned around to look as well.

Only then did they realize that the barbarian, having received the package, immediately turned his attention to his trusted soldier.

The soldier dodged the first blow, but his head was chopped off by the second.

At this moment, an extremely tall barbarian appeared, carrying a small person on his back, but wearing a black and red cloak.

They walked up to the barbarian carrying the package and took the package of Grinding Fruit.

The barbarian being carried squeezed the bundle, turned his head towards Mayor Ruper, revealing the black and red stripes on his face.

"Barbarian priests..." Mayor Ruper's heart sank. He waved his arms, grabbing his son who had rushed over. "Back to town! Close the gates! The barbarians... they're here to massacre the city!"
