Chapter 39: Everything for Survival

Eric Town was finished.

Marcos Eric knew the fate of this frontier town the moment he saw the beastmen appear outside the city walls.

As an Imperial Baron of the Nolan Empire, this town was his fief to guard, but the beastmen's army was not something this small town of only three thousand people could withstand.

When the beastmen's wolf cavalry leaped onto the town's walls, he knew it couldn't hold.

Ignoring everyone's objections, Marcos took his family and the craftsmen from his fief, loaded all his wealth onto carts, and fled from the other side of the town.

Before leaving, he ordered the militia formed by the town's civilians to intercept the beastmen.

But he knew it was all in vain. Even Nolan Empire's army couldn't stop the beastmen; what could a town's militia do to resist?

This order was merely to buy some time for his escape.
