Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Tata looked at Schup in confusion. Although he was old, he did not have memory loss. He did not remember ever seeing Schup.

“Master, the mushroom disease has broken out in the city. Brother Luo Xiu told me to come to you, saying you should have a solution.”

what? !

Everyone was shocked, never expecting that a mushroom disease outbreak would suddenly occur in the city while they were having a meeting.

However, what Hup said next was even more shocking.

"The demon bats have launched a major attack. The outer perimeter is in complete chaos, and the demon bats are also rioting in the cave. My brother has already gone there to deal with it."

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Startled, Tata lost control of the tentacles binding Shup and suddenly tightened, causing Shup to grimace in pain.

"It's true. I urge you all to go out and take a look. The situation on the outskirts is already very bad."

Bojelica spoke, confirming what Shoe had said.

Without the slightest hesitation, the black mist surrounding Tata spread out, and he disappeared from the spot along with Bozelika and Shoe.

Among the remaining people, the little girl in silver helmet hurriedly pulled out a huge iron hammer and smashed it into the ground. With a roar, a magic circle unfolded, and she fell into the magic circle and left.

Next was Vivian. She stood up, glanced at the last three people remaining in the cave, and her expression was cold:

“Something’s not right. The swarm of demon bats attacked. It’s impossible that we didn’t sense it at all.”

"You still have the mind to dwell on these things?!"

Lucas pushed Vivian away hastily and disappeared into the magic circle carved out by the little girl in silver helmet.

"..."

Vivian looked at Hermes and Shek, and seeing that the two of them did not make any move, she finally chose to leave the magic circle as well.

She also had to rush back to check; if a battle broke out, the academy would definitely be involved as well.

Hermes, aren't you leaving?

Shek looked at Hermes, his slightly narrowed eyes revealing a calm yet subtly sharp gaze.

"Of course I'm leaving, Your Excellency Shek."

Hermes set down his wine glass, rose, and bowed to Shek.

"Then I shall take my leave. Your Excellency need not be alarmed. With us here, we will surely be able to protect your city."

Hermes's words were laced with undisguised sarcasm, implying that Shek, as the city lord, seemed unhurried in the face of the bats' attack.

His sarcastic and unsettling manner has always been his style. Now that he's taken on this role, he's determined to see it through to the end.

Even if the direction the play took was not what he wanted to see.

But at this moment, he must not reveal any weakness.

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, wanting to see what was happening outside, but unexpectedly, Xie Ke's voice rang out behind him:

"Let's go together, Hermes."

Hermes' eyes narrowed, but he quickly composed himself, turned to look at Shek, and smiled:

"Your Excellency is in high spirits today, and it is truly an honor for me to travel with you."

A slight upturn at the corners of Shek's mouth appeared on his face, a face that seemed to never smile.

“I think I’ve been too unconventional before, Hermes.”

"Let's go together and see how our city is doing."

"my pleasure."

Hermes smiled and nodded outwardly, but inwardly he felt somewhat gloomy.

He sensed something was off about Shek, but he had no reason to refuse.

The two of them traveled to the outside world through the magic circle. Looking at the thick blood mist spreading in the sky in the distance, Xie Ke's eyes darkened.

Hermes' inner gloom was somewhat relieved.

Although I don't know why those two damn guys found the cave ahead of time and interrupted the meeting, it seems that the plan is still going smoothly.

After all, it was only a few hours earlier, and now it's too late for Tata and his team to turn the tide of the battle.

If the calculations are correct, the surrounding areas should have already fallen completely.

The situation at the Demon Bat Cave should be even more overwhelming.

Using the green-gold magic arrays released by Sheke, the two arrived at the outer city wall at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, besides Tata, Vivian, the little girl, and Lucas were all present.

"What are you three still doing here? Watching a show?"

Hermes smiled sarcastically, then looked at the scene inside the city, and suddenly his smile vanished.

Although the city was shrouded in blood mist, littered with mangled flesh, and filled with the screams of the wounded, not a single demonic bat could be seen.

How can it be?

Hermes was inwardly stunned.

Where are the Demon Bats?!

He searched desperately for the demon bat, but blood rained down from the sky, dark clouds covered the sun, and a stench filled the air, yet there was not a trace of the demon bat.

"What happened? Things look much better than we thought."

He suppressed his unease and shock, and asked with a smile.

"We just arrived too."

The little girl muttered something:

"Has that Bojelica girl dared to lie to me now?"

She jumped off the city wall and ran at superhuman speed toward the distant Knights' headquarters; she had to find out what was going on.

"Regardless of the process, the result is better than we expected."

Vivian's wrinkled eyes trembled slightly, and anger flashed in them:

"These damned beasts actually dared to come."

She also left. Although she couldn't see the demon bats, the wounded were real, and the bloodstains throughout the city proved that a large-scale battle had indeed broken out. She also needed to find out what was going on.

"You two, let's go together."

Shek spoke up, inviting Hermes and Lucas to join him. After seeing that the situation in the city wasn't too bad, his expression relaxed considerably.

Hermes took a deep breath:

"No, sir, I need to go to the Chamber of Commerce."

He couldn't sit still any longer and had to rush back to the Chamber of Commerce to find out what had happened.

The plan has now completely deviated from his original intention, and he is almost going crazy. Only a little bit of rationality is keeping him from doing anything out of line.

Lucas was clearly not as rational as him; even his beard, which reached his toes, began to tremble.

"I...I also need to rush back to the Sorcerer's Academy."

Lucas left, and Hermes was about to go when, unexpectedly, Shek's voice rang out again:

“It’s alright, Hermes, I was just heading to the Chamber of Commerce anyway.”

Damn!

What on earth is this guy trying to do!

Hermes was incredibly frustrated and on the verge of madness.

He thought he had everything under control, but now he realizes he has nothing under control at all.

The fifth-tier mushroom monster failed to break through, and the planned army of demon bats disappeared. Now, even though he wanted to leave, this damned Shek was sticking to him like glue.

But he couldn't refuse...

"Okay, let's go together."

He suppressed his anger.

The two arrived at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce and happened to see Lodey, dressed in wrinkled noble attire, walking into the Chamber of Commerce.

"Lodey!"

Hermes called out to Lodey.

Lodey turned around, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and was overjoyed:

"Lord Hermes!"

He strode closer, then saw Shek beside him and quickly bowed in greeting:

"Lord Shek, welcome."

"What happened, Lord?"

Ignoring Shek beside him, Hermes asked directly.

Lodey blinked after hearing this:

Which part would you like to hear?

"Which part? The whole thing, of course!"

Hermes barely suppressed the urge to smash Lodey into a pulp before speaking.

"Oh, alright."

Lode began to tell the story from his perspective, starting with the arrival of the demon bats in the city.

It wasn't until the arrival of the third batch of demon bats that the entire city of Kanriel was plunged into utter despair.

He spoke in great detail and with great emotion. Shek, who was standing to the side, listened attentively, occasionally frowning and showing anger in his eyes.

"and then?"
