Chapter 399: Chapter 210: Fiery Red Long Hair Fluttering in the Wind

Lin Mo nodded.

The guild president hadn’t made the wrong choice. His reaction had been remarkably swift. After the Lord fled with a large number of Guards, it became impossible to defend Roland Town.

That being the case, the best option was to evacuate as many townspeople as possible.

During the day, the Goblins’ assault was generally not as fierce. They might even halt their attack for a short time.

Thanks to this, some of the townspeople should have been able to evacuate successfully, so the casualties in Roland Town would be somewhat lower than anticipated.

But only by a little...

Besides, even if they were lucky enough to evacuate, they would only be saving their own lives for the time being.

All they could take with them were their already pitifully few possessions. What they lost were the vast fertile fields they relied on for survival, the homes they had spent half a lifetime saving for...

The Ordinary people of this world already led difficult lives. After losing all this, even if they managed to escape the Goblins, how were they supposed to survive?

That was why many people, knowing full well the Goblins were coming, were unwilling to leave.

For one, without the protection of Adventurers and Guards, they were utterly incapable of crossing the vast wilderness to reach other cities.

Even if they were lucky enough to avoid any Demons and reach their destination, having lost everything, they would find it incredibly difficult to survive in a new place.

Not to mention, the neighboring cities weren’t even guaranteed to accept them as refugees.

After all, judging from the current situation, there wasn’t much contact between the cities of the Doria Kingdom. They were more like independent territories nominally belonging to the Kingdom. This was also why a City Lord was often called a "Lord."

The Lords of other cities might welcome the young and able-bodied, seeing them as fresh labor to build up their domains, but what about the middle-aged and elderly?

It would be no surprise for these people, worthless in a Lord’s eyes, to be turned away. No one would care whether they lived or died.

But then again, even so, it was the only choice they had left...

The Lord had already fled with his men. With only the handful of remaining Guards and the Adventurers, it was impossible to defend Roland Town.

That was true even with the addition of Lin Mo and Landon.

"Damned nobles..."

Lin Mo’s brow was tightly furrowed. He had killed a great many Goblins, but he could only cover the area directly in front of him. From other directions, the Goblin Army was still pouring into the town, burning, killing, and pillaging as they destroyed the small settlement.

It filled Lin Mo with a deep sense of powerlessness.

’Forget me. Even with the Guards from Silver Stream City, could they really change the situation for Lania City?’

Just then, a Horned Eagle soared across the sky.

The next moment, a torrent of Flame rained down from the sky, a brilliant downpour of fire that engulfed a vast area of Goblins.

In an instant, a vast sea of fire seemed to materialize on the battlefield.

’So strong!’

Lin Mo was stunned. This Skill should be just like his Blizzard—an Excellent Level Skill. But the effect it produced, in both power and range, was far, far stronger than his own.

’By a conservative estimate, their Magic Power must be at least double my own!’

’Who is it?’

Lin Mo looked toward the Horned Eagle in the sky. It slowly descended, heading right for them.

As the distance closed, he saw a familiar purple Magic Robe and a matching purple Magic Hat.

A slender arm held the hat in place as long, fiery red hair danced in the wind...

’It’s her?!’

Lin Mo’s spirits soared.
