"I don't think we have the time to look for everyone at this moment. Director Chen, can we use the city's emergency broadcast?"

"The city's broadcasting equipment was just maintained a few days ago, and there are no problems."

"Very good. Kulan, have your people go outside the east gate and guide those who want to take refuge to the mine. Director Chen and I will go to the city office to prepare for the broadcast."

——Aarons himself didn’t know why he could remain so calm at a time like this.

The fear he had felt when he heard the news just now seemed to have been swept away, and his high-speed brain had even simulated several possible developments of the situation.

"Kalin Xiaye, you two should take care of your family affairs first! I will make a specific decision after I come back!"

After giving a brief explanation, Aarons immediately put on his clothes and left the Marquis's Mansion.

The streets were already in a state of chaos, with many people dragging large and small bags and running towards the outside of the city. After seeing this scene, Aarons couldn't help but shout a few words.

"Run to the east gate! Someone there will help you take refuge!"

"What? How come he is the eldest son of the Marquis's family... What nonsense are you talking about!?"

"Believe it or not... the only way to survive is to run east!"

Because this was inefficient, Aarons didn't dwell on it too much.

When he and Chief Chen ran to the city hall as fast as they could, they found that the gate had been surrounded by a large number of panicked citizens.

"what happened!"

"Tell us what to do!"

"Have these bastards already run away!?"

Seeing the angry citizens, Aarons gestured to Director Chen and turned into the alley in the backyard. Director Chen immediately released his fighting spirit, strode through the crowd and stood in the open space in front of the gate.

"Everyone, calm down for a moment! I am Chen Xu, the director of the City Office. We already know what happened, and we will announce the corresponding countermeasures to everyone soon!"

"Damn it, the Marquis is dead! Who is going to take care of this city now?"

"That's right! Even the Empire's legions don't care about us anymore! Who can keep us alive now?"

These citizens, who were angry and panicked, could hardly listen to anything. If it weren't for the dazzling radiance of Chief Chen's fighting spirit, they would have already broken through the gate of the city hall.

But at this time, no one could calm their fears—

[This is the city hall's emergency broadcast to the entire city - fellow citizens, I am Aarons Moti.]

When the voice of the famous useless young master of the Marquis's family rang out throughout the city, everyone couldn't help but stop and listen to what this incompetent man wanted to say at this time.

[First, I have arranged personnel at the east gate. They will guide you to the northeast for refuge in an orderly manner. Please do not bring too much luggage and prioritize your own safety.]

[Secondly, the city office will set up a defense line in the western village of Cornell to disperse the beast tide as far as possible outside the city. I am now recruiting volunteers with level three or above strength in my personal capacity to help us resist this disaster.]

[Anyone who participates in the battle will receive a reward of one gold coin, and if it is a magician, an additional fifty silver coins will be added. This money will be fully borne by the Marquis's Mansion and will be paid in full after the battle.]

Not everyone has the courage to fight against monsters, so the broadcast did not attract many people's interest at first. But when these routine speeches ended, they heard other unexpected words.

[…I know I am an incompetent person, and I will never become a strong person in my life. Now my parents and brother are all dead, and I may not be able to keep my noble status for many days.]

Although almost everyone knew that Marquis Moti and his family had died in the accident, Aarons officially confirmed the news this time.

[I am no different from you all, and this city is my home. I want to defend my home, but a loser like me doesn't have the power to do so.]

[So I would like to ask everyone who still has the strength to spare to help me protect this city... Because I can't do it alone, so I can only rely on everyone's strength! ]

[…I am the only incompetent person and that’s enough! ]

Even though most people were not optimistic about this incompetent eldest son of the Marquis, they also knew how much courage it took to stand up at this time.

He could have dropped everything and run away immediately, but this incompetent young master put aside his pride as a noble in front of everyone.

"...Damn it, if I run away now, wouldn't it mean that after so many years of training, I would be inferior to that useless young master!"

"As long as I get the money, it's fine! I have level three strength, I want to sign up!"

"My friend is the magician, I'm going to find her now!"

Whether it was to obtain the generous reward or to prove that they were more courageous than the heir of Marquis Moti, some people did take action because of Aarons' words.

[Finally, I would like to emphasize again that those who need to evacuate please leave in an orderly manner from the east exit. If you want to participate in the defense battle, please leave from the west gate and rush to Cornell Village as soon as possible... I will be waiting for you there. ]

Even though most people do not agree with the words of a weak man like Aarons, there are still a few people who are inspired by him.

——If a weak person is willing to stand up, then a strong person should not be timid.

"…Is the young master crazy?"

"You're just lying. You sent people there and then ran away... All the nobles are like that."

"If he can really keep this city...I will come back and stand on my head and drink through my nose."

The voices of doubt are certainly louder, but this also leaves a glimmer of hope in people's hearts.

If Aarons can really save the city, then even if the Marquis is dead... maybe there will still be someone willing to protect them in the future.

……

"That's it. I guess I don't need to say it a second time."

"Master, we are all under your command now. Please give us your orders."

Most of the staff of the city office are former members of the Marquis' family, and now that Aarons has taken the initiative to defend the city, they are of course willing to follow the Marquis's heir.

"Except for the magicians, everyone else should go to the east to guide the citizens who are taking refuge, at least to maintain order during the evacuation. After the battle begins, you will go to the west gate to serve as the second line of defense."

If the defense line of Conil Village is breached, then the west side of Moti City will be completely exposed to the monsters. At that time, this second line of defense will not be of much use.

——Aarons was actually giving these people time to escape.

"...Master, are you really going to Cornell?"

"Of course I have to go. I'll go home and explain things first... By the way, I have a lot of children at home. If you find a child who can't be evacuated in time, send him to the Marquis's Mansion."

Why did this young master not consider his own safety at all? No one knows the answer to this question.

But these dedicated city civil servants acted quickly according to Aarons' instructions.
