256 I Don't Know
"My lord, what should we do?" Liam asked curiously. "Should we send so people to help them?"
"Why should we help them? They treated us badly and spoke ill of us. If I have to choose, I will choose to help these magical beasts because I hate this city." Henry did not feel afraid when he said this because he talked with his subordinate.
The expression of deep shock blossod on Liam's face.
'My lord wants to help these magical beasts destroy this city?'
He knew Henry hated Ace and the citizen to the bone, but he did not expect Henry to have the intention to help magical beasts destroy Nightshire City.
"Now, I will give you two choices." Henry spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Continue to follow or leave?"
Henry was a cruel person, so he would kill Liam if Liam chose to leave.
"I will keep following you, my lord." Liam decided to keep following Henry because Henry saved him from starvation when he was young.
If it were not for Henry, he would have died on the streets years ago. That was why he decided to follow Henry because Henry was his savior.
"Good!" Henry decided not to kill Liam after hearing his answer. "Now, ask the sa question to my other subordinates. Kill them if they decide to leave."
"Understood, my lord." Liam responded.

City Guard Headquarters, Training Ground.
Many citizens could be seen at the training ground.
All of them ca to the training ground with one purpose.
They wanted to help Scarlett protect their city!
Even though most of them were just ordinary people, their desire to protect their city was no less than that of the awakeners.
Nightshire City was their hotown, so they would not let magical beasts destroy their city.
No matter what happened, they had to protect their city.
"Attention, everyone." Colonel Louie uttered.
Everyone instantly stopped talking and paid attention to Colonel Louie.
"I will divide you into the awakener group and the non-awakener group." Colonel Louie uttered, "Awakener people will be in the awakener group, and ordinary people will be in the non-awakener group."
He then told the people in the awakener group to go to Valeria while the non-awakener group stood in front of him.
"You guys will learn archery with from now on." Colonel Louie had discussed this with Scarlett and the others before.
There were two reasons why they decided to teach the citizen archery.
First, they could help troops kill magical beasts from afar, and last, they would have ti to run away when magical beasts approached them.
They were only ordinary people, so it was impossible to tell them to fight magical beasts head-on because that would be the sa as sending them to death.
"Now, let's go to the archery training ground." Colonel Louie uttered.
They then headed to the archery training ground.

Six people were sitting on a couch in Scarlett's office. The nas of these people were Ace, Layla, Scarlett, lissa, Alvaro, and Lexie.
lissa, Alvaro, and Lexie went straight to Scarlett's office after the announcent was finished because they wanted to know more details about the plans of these magical beasts.
They wanted to know their numbers and strength.
Unfortunately, Scarlett did not have complete information about it.
"I have ordered several people to get more information about their plans, but I still haven't received any reports to date." Scarlett sent several people to Framingburns Forest yesterday because she wanted to know more about their plans.
"I see." After saying that, Alvaro looked at Ace. "Ace, you are the only awakener at Grandmaster rank in our city, so you will be the key in the upcoming war."
"Don't worry, mister Alvaro. I will try my best to kill them all later." Ace responded.
"I'm happy to hear that." Alvaro smiled as he spoke.

Herora City, Wynn Trading House.
'What?! Brother Ace is an Aeris?!'
Allan, who was sitting on a couch in a private room, was shocked when he read a letter he received from the branch of his family's business in Nightshire city.
'Isn't brother Ace a Rheanix? Did he awaken his Archer class recently?'
Countless questions appeared in his mind.
'What is this? Magical beasts are going to attack Nightshire City again?'
He was shocked again.
'Countless magical beasts attacked their city five years ago. Now they want to attack their city again?'
After reading the letter, he put it on the table.
'Should I help brother Ace?'
This was a good opportunity to strengthen their friendship, but this was also dangerous because he could die in the war.
'What should I do?'
He did not know whether he should help Ace or not.
'I will inform my parents and elder sister about this.'

21:17
Ace was currently at the training ground.
With that idea in mind, he rose to his feet and walked out of the private room.
----
Ace was currently at the training ground.
He decided to go to the training ground because he wanted to see the citizens learn archery.
A soft smile spread across his face as he stared at the citizens. Even though he was far from them, he knew that they learned archery seriously.
'Scarlett is lucky to have citizens like them.'
As he was looking at them, a voice suddenly rang out.
"They are learning archery seriously. Don't you think city mistress is lucky to have citizens like them?" a female voice could be heard in his ears.
Ace turned his head toward the source of the sound.
'Lady Lexie?'
He saw Lexie walking closer to him.
"Yes. I can tell that they really want to protect our city." after saying that, he returned his attention to the citizens.
She stopped her footsteps when she was on his left side.
'Hmm?'
She was startled when he looked at her intently.
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but your beauty has increased a lot. You were already beautiful before, but now, you are much more beautiful." He decided to tease her because he suddenly rembered the ti when they were together in a cave.
Lexie smiled softly before finally pinching his cheeks. "What is this? Are you trying to seduce ?"
Ace removed her right hand from his cheeks. "Lady, have you forgotten that I'm stronger than you? You should not pinch my cheeks, or else I will punish you later."
"What makes you think you are stronger than ?" Of course, she knew he was stronger than her because he had broken through to the Grandmaster rank.
"Did you forget that we have fought three tis, and I won all the gas?" he uttered.
"Hmm? When did we spar?" she believed they had never sparred before.
He brought his face closer to her right ear before finally whispering. "When we were in the forest several days ago. At that ti, we were in a cave, and we sparred in my tent, or more precisely, on the bed."
Lexie instantly understood the aning of his words.
'He wants to tease , huh?'
Of course, she still rembered what they had done in a cave.
When she was about to say sothing to him, a voice suddenly rang out. "Aunt Lexie…"
