The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

As the sky gradually darkened, the atmosphere on the defense line became more and more solemn.

Although everything around is calm now, no one knows when the group of monsters will suddenly appear.

Anxiety and panic gradually spread among the crowd, and the volunteers who had come here for different purposes began to feel like retreating.

"...Can we really defeat those monsters with such a small number of people? Could it be that the young master has already escaped?"

"Who knows? Besides, this wall is just a temporary structure made of mud. It will probably collapse after a few hits."

"…If the situation is not right, just find a chance to escape."

Looking at these people with weak wills, the mercenary leader Kulan, who personally led his men here to provide support, also showed an uneasy expression on his face.

"Captain, if we only have these people, we probably won't be able to stop the beast tide."

"I know... Li Yue, what do you think that young master will do?"

"I don't think he has the guts to stay here. He should have escaped by now."

——Aarons has no fighting ability and can’t contribute any value even if he stays here.

Because everyone was aware of this, no one thought that he would stay here and put himself in danger.

"It's getting dark, get ready."

As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, a soft ball of light rose in the center of the earthen defense wall.

——This is the illumination magic cast by the city hall’s light magician.

Although this magic has no other effect except illuminating the surroundings, with such a light source, the warriors outside the wall no longer have to fight the enemy in the dark.

"Ha, it seems like everyone is ready to fight? I am ready too."

What was completely unexpected to everyone present was that Aarons did not leave this line of defense at this time.

When he took the initiative to walk to the wall platform below the light source accompanied by the light magician, all the people waiting outside the wall turned their eyes to him.

"Hey! Useless young master, why are you still staying here?"

"Moti City is my home! Is there any problem for me to be here?"

"Tsk! What I mean is... aren't noble young masters like you very careful about their lives? Why don't you just run away as far as possible!"

"——Didn't you guys run away too?"

This simple answer instantly silenced everyone.

——Because the people here did not escape, this incompetent young master also stayed.

This was definitely not an action that could be described as reckless. Aarons believed that he could win and that everyone present could withstand this disaster, so he chose to stay.

"This is not only your battle, but also my battle... Because I am an incompetent waste and cannot fight the monsters myself, so I stand here-"

Aarons spoke to everyone using the magic loudspeaker he had prepared in advance, while pointing his finger at the pale white ball of light above his head.

"——I will stand here and watch you win!"

Almost everyone thought Aarons had gone crazy - because when the group of monsters really attacked, it would be impossible for anyone to have the energy to protect him.

"Because I can't do anything alone, that's why I have to stand here... As long as I'm still standing here, it means the battle is not lost!"

Aarons was obviously just speaking empty and meaningless words, but his voice quietly dispelled the anxiety and fear in people's hearts.

Because everyone has already felt that the emotions in these words are sincere.

"Because I don't have the strength to fight, I need your help... Help me protect your city, help me protect your family!"

At this point, no one wanted to say anything more.

Everyone now just wants to know whether this powerless young master of the Marquis's family, who is called a waste, can keep his promise today.

If he turned and ran away, I wouldn't have to keep fighting. But if he really dared to stand there... then I definitely couldn't act more cowardly than him.

"…Sure enough, my vision was not wrong."

"Captain?"

——Kuran, who had been standing in the crowd and looking up at Aarons, suddenly murmured an inexplicable thought.

But the fox girl standing next to him at this time did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

"So, I now give you an order in the name of Marquis Moti - I have only one order! Everyone must survive!"

There was no arrogance or aristocratic pride.

Aarons' order was just to keep everyone alive - and this order meant that even if the battle was really lost, he would be the only one who would be held responsible.

He had been prepared from the beginning.

“Hahahaha… Great! If you, a boastful brat, really dare to stand there and not move, I will fight you to the last minute!”

When the first person responded to Aarons's awareness, everyone present finally became excited.

If the weak dare to stand up, then the strong must never fall behind - otherwise the dignity and glory of being a strong person will be gone forever.

……

"Mr. Youman, please stay with me. Your light magic is very suitable for directing artillery."

A man who was about thirty years old, handsome but for some reason always had a gloomy face, was standing next to Aarons.

The man's name was Youman, a magician from the city hall who had previously helped Aarons deal with the evil servants.

Since his primary attribute is light and the few magic spells he masters have little destructive power, they usually play no role in battle.

——But Aarons has no prejudice against this.

"Master, don't you need someone else to protect you? My magic may not be able to keep you safe."

"That would be a waste of firepower. You don't have to think about protecting me. Just stand behind me and use magic to mark the place according to my instructions."

After looking up at the distance that had already disappeared into darkness, Aarons suddenly pointed at his body and made an even more unsettling request to Youman.

"Put a glowing magic on me too, so that everyone can see where I am at a glance when they turn around."

"But, this will also attract attacks from monsters..."

"It doesn't matter, because I can't do anything...so even if I can only help relieve some of the pressure on others, let's do it."

Youman stared at Aarons silently for a long time, and did not see any fear from the young man.

Although he was just a powerless and incompetent person, Aarons' back at this moment was taller than any strong man he had ever seen.

——It was just like the Marquis himself, who was called the God of War.
