"Just do what you can." Amy said before she cast a buff on the rest of them.

There was no need for her to buff him yet since he wasn't struggling.

The only way that they could help was to try to reach his level so that they would be able to hold back a few of the demons.

Andrea looked down at her sword before charging forward like Gran Jurad did, but she was slower than him and she didn't have the same power as the hero's sword.

In the end, Andrea wasn't able to push through the demons like Gran Jurad did.

If it wasn't for the fact that Amy had buffed her, then she would have been trapped by the demons and would have been overpowered by them.

There was a reason why the demons were able to push the humans back so far.

Individually, the demons were stronger than humans.

So when they were working together like this, they were naturally stronger than what a single human could do.

But since she was able to stop them, Andrea was able to keep them back away from Gran Jurad.

With the support that came from the rest of the party, they were able to cover Gran Jurad's back to a certain extent.

To adjust for this, the arrows that Aragon shot suddenly changed trajectories. Instead of going for the demons that had been wrapping around, he focused purely on the demons that were still coming over the walls.

With this, Andrea felt like she really was doing something to help.

…

I was able to see them act this way, but I didn't do anything to stop them.

After all, they were doing this on their own volition, so there was no reason for me to stop this.

It would also give us a good cover story and make us seem like real heroes.

At the same time, it would mean that we would have a bit less to worry about when it came to protecting the citizens.

Since they were watching my back, it meant that they were close to where the citizens were and could easily protect them from the demons. The demons didn't care as much about the citizens since I was more of a threat, but they did want to use them as hostages.

While this was all happening, I was looking into the distance to see what the demons would do.

I already had an idea of what the demons would do since I had heard their commands from Val Zahar, it was just that it wasn't as if the demons actually followed the orders that they received.

The demons mainly moved on their own, following the orders from the leaders of their groups.

While they worked together from time to time, it could even be said that they were competing with each other. The ones that did the most damage would receive a bigger share of the loot when it came to splitting the reward for the demons.

That was why they all wanted to be the ones that did the most damage.

But in a way, that also made it easy for us to predict how the demons would react.

No one wanted to suffer just for a bigger share of the loot either.

They would choose where they thought would be the easiest to break through the defenses and do as much damage as they could.

While I was repelling the demons, I was also focusing on the humans that were here.

"They have no survival instincts at all…"

They were cheering for the heroes as they pushed back instead of running away.

Though there was a part of me that understood that there really wasn't anything that they could do since the city was completely surrounded.

"Pay attention." I was caught off guard when I heard this in my mind, but I quickly looked in the direction that Aragon was looking.

I could see what he was seeing.

There was something that was stirring in the demons as they started moving together.

It was as if there was something that was taking command of the demons and making them move together like this.

While I had no idea what it was, I knew that it wouldn't be a good thing.

The problem was that there were too many people that were around here.

"Sir Hero…" Amy called out to me since she could see this as well.

When we were alone, she called me by name. But when we were out in public like this, she made sure to call me hero so that everyone knew that this was the case.

I knew that this was bad, so I made a quick decision.

"Guide the people away from here and make sure that they don't get hurt."

"But what about you?" Amy said in a worried voice.

"I'll hold out, don't worry." Then with a wave of my sword, I cut out a path behind me for them to evacuate the citizens.

Seeing this, Amy looked at me with one last worried look before she started leading the people away.

Though there wasn't really a safe spot in the city, it was still better than this place where the demons seemed to be converging. It seemed that the demons recognized the danger that I posed, so they were all coming for me.

But for the demons to suddenly work together like this, there had to be a reason that they were all moving in tandem like this.

When I looked more closely, I could see that reason in the distance.

After all, there had to be something that united all of the demons like this and the only thing that could do that was a stronger demon.

In particular, it was the Asura that had left Val Zahar's side and came forward to direct these demons.

The Asuras were a bloodthirsty tribe in the first place, so it wasn't strange that he had lost control of himself like this and came to join the fight.

"That's one down." I muttered to myself.
