Chapter 16 The Young Dragon Who Learns to Be Bad
The next morning, Eli took Cecilia to wait not far outside the city.
Pulled out of bed by the master early in the morning, Cecilia originally thought that the master was going to make out with her in broad daylight, but the master's words "Alyssa is coming" woke her up from her fantasy.
Fortunately, this surprise was a surprise rather than a shock. Hearing the news that her good sister, good friend, good mount, good pet, and good daughter Alyssa was coming, Cecilia was so happy that she almost took off on the spot.
Although it was very happy to sleep with the master and it was also comfortable to sleep with Jessica, as a cavalryman who aspired to become a dragon knight, it was best to sleep with the chubby Alyssa.
Eli calculated the time very well. He and Cecilia did not wait outside the city for long. From a distance, they could see a young dragon running wildly on the road, and a team of human beings with a long breath followed closely behind it.
"Alyssa~~"
"Ah~"
The man and the dragon ran in both directions. Halfway through, Cecilia jumped into Alyssa's arms and was carried by her two short forelimbs.
Cecilia rubbed happily in Alyssa's arms, and the young dragon wagged its tail happily.
"Ahem!"
At this time, the neglected Eli coughed twice, but was met with indifference from the man and the dragon.
Forget it, I won't bother with women and children.
"Follow me into the city first."
Ignoring the man and the dragon who were showing their love, Eli called the team of masters who came with Alyssa.
In fact, Eli was very familiar with these people. Most of them were from the side branches of the family and had good strength. Although they could not compare with Cecilia and Jessica, they had no problem killing the centurion of the demon clan in a one-on-one situation.
It just so happened that in addition to the trio of them, the Demon Hunting City was in short of sharp forwards. Their arrival was indeed a reinforcement for the Demon Hunting City.
Everyone followed Eli into the Demon Hunting City. As soon as they entered the city, the expert team was shocked by the bustling Demon Hunting City.
It is said that the Demon Hunting City is sparsely populated, and there are not many civilians except for the 20,000 garrisons. Why did they see a crowded city with people of all ethnic groups living in harmony?
But a closer look showed that most of these people were wearing tattered military uniforms or tattered cloth clothes, and they all looked pale, like refugees, and they did not look like civilians in the city...
With a lot of doubts, the expert team followed Eli to the military camp. After handing them over to the deputy general Rondo, Eli took Cecilia and Alyssa, who were together, back to the city lord's mansion.
Due to the simplicity of the city lord's mansion, the gate was not as high as Alyssa, and the young dragon had to lie half on the ground to enter the door.
"Tell me, how did you get your father and mother to agree to let you come?"
After entering the hall of the city lord's mansion, Eli sat on the main seat and began to interrogate the young dragon.
"Ah~ah, ah!" the young dragon roared.
"Elissa won't eat, not even dried fish!" Cecilia translated.
"Ah~ah, ah!" the young dragon continued to roar.
"Elissa was naughty and broke a lot of the Duke's antiques." Cecilia continued to translate.
"Ah~ah, ah!" the young dragon roared a few times at last.
"Elissa was starving to death, and the Duke's mansion was dying of poverty, so they sent Elissa here." Cecilia still translated diligently.
"You... you are only eighteen years old, how can you be so disobedient!"
Eli pointed at the young dragon's nose, which was bigger than his fist. He really wanted to scold it, but the words he said were not painful.
The eighteen-year-old dragon's mind and growth are not as good as those of the three-year-old human race. It is really impossible for Eli to scold it or punish it.
But such a young dragon actually had bad intentions and forced his parents to send it to the extremely dangerous front line.
In other words, the current Demon Hunting City is not dangerous at all, otherwise Eli might have packed up Alyssa and sent it back to the imperial capital.
"Ah~Ah~"
Alyssa lowered her head and rubbed Eli's whole body with her huge dragon head, making a weak sound. Although Cecilia did not translate, Eli knew that it was begging him to take in poor Alyssa.
Alas, now that it is here, what if it goes on a hunger strike again and smashes the old man's antiques again? This little guy has learned bad things and is not so easy to deal with.
It's also strange. In the previous life, Alyssa didn't pester me so much and never came to the Demon Hunting City at all. Is it because Cecilia is by his side in this life, and it came to pester Cecilia?
Forget it, why think so much, since it's here, make the best of it. 100,000 people have taken it in, so why are you afraid of another young dragon?
In this way, the reinforcements sent by the Duke's Mansion were incorporated into the previous guards as the vanguard, and the burdens sent by the Duke's Mansion were incorporated into the City Lord's Mansion as pets.
After settling Alyssa, Eli took Jessica out of the mansion. So many people from all races came to the city last night. If they wanted to settle them all, they would definitely experience a period of chaos.
Although all these trivial matters were left to Longduo, Eli could not completely ignore them. At least he showed up and calmed their emotions.
After last night's temporary resettlement, the rescued people of all races had already learned the identity of their benefactors from the local military and civilians. When they thought that the new city lord of the Demon Hunting City was such a heroic figure, they were full of expectations for the future in the Demon Hunting City.
Demon Hunter City is small, but the local population is even more scarce. Now even with nearly 100,000 people pouring in, it does not seem crowded. However, as a militarized city, Demon Hunter City does not have many residential houses. In the next period of time, Demon Hunter City may need to carry out large-scale construction, at least enough houses for 100,000 people to live in.
However, these are not things that Eli needs to worry about. Rondo is really useful, so use him as much as possible.
Before the internal construction of Demon Hunter City is done, it is not suitable to go out to hunt in the wild for the time being. Moreover, after such a long time, the new demon army should be refreshed soon...
I don’t know what kind of lineup the demons will send this time. Even the eighth-level strongmen can’t handle the Demon Hunter City. Will they directly send the ninth-level strongmen to revenge?
You must know that the ninth-level strongmen are already the top combat power of the continent. Those higher than the ninth-level are all demon saints. Every ninth-level is not easily cultivated. Many high-end battlefields are in short supply of ninth-level combat power. Will the demons send ninth-level strongmen to such a remote small battlefield?
In terms of importance to the demon clan, killing 50,000 demons is not as cruel as killing a ninth-level warrior. Eli really hopes that the demon clan can squeeze out a ninth-level warrior to die. His axe is already thirsty...
