Roy was startled when the red-hot iron lance pierced through the back of the first guard.
What shocked him even more was that the creature wailed and turned to ashes. The remaining two guards turned and charged, but were pinned to the wall by flaming arrows descending from the sky.
"Well done, kid."
A female knight clad in the light armor of the Flame Dragon Cavalry landed at the blacksmith's shop door: "Want to learn how to truly kill these bastards?"
Roy later learned that this female knight named Lisa was one of the "Fire Seed Team" members sent to various towns by Ye Qingzhou. Stories of civilians like him fighting back against the Blood Race in desperate situations were spreading rapidly in taverns, markets, and underground churches.
Within seven days, the forces of the Northern Territory Alliance Army had tripled.
Not only were there professional warriors, but many civilians like Roy joined as well.
