Seeing their suddenly motivated expressions, he stopped talking and started updating the quest progress.

...
The quest that was updated didn't offer anything new, except for the added reward of earning contribution points for each demon they killed.
Seeing this reward, Master PungPong exclaimed, "That's way too stingy! Only one point for each demon?"
He casually made a remark because Pork Rib Boss started giving commands after everyone received the quest.
"The players who chose the priest class should stay on the stone wall and attack from a distance. Those who haven't chosen a class, follow me outside the wall and use melee weapons to finish off the enemies with low health. If you die, don't worry, you can revive and come back to pick up your equipment."
Pork Rib Boss glanced at the town's residents behind him and politely asked Father Barry, "Father Barry, the others should focus on guarding the stone wall's gate. If any enemies get through, we'll need everyone to help."
Father Barry nodded his head.
The "others" Pork Rib Boss mentioned clearly referred to the town's residents.
After giving his instructions, Pork Rib Boss was the first one to step outside the stone wall, followed by a group of players.
They stood outside, staring at the approaching black cloud, unable to stop themselves from swallowing his saliva nervously.
After they left, Hanjun walked out from the crowd and stood behind Father Barry.
When Father Barry saw him, he quickly took a step back—how could he let Hanjun stand behind him?
Hanjun raised his hand to stop him from moving, signaling that it wasn't the time to reveal his identity yet, and told Father Barry to act as if nothing had happened.
Father Barry, who worshiped the God of Light and held him in the highest regard, couldn't bear the thought of the God of Light standing behind him.
But since Hanjun insisted he stay still, Father Barry became conflicted.
The town residents didn't notice Father Barry's troubled expression; their eyes were all drawn to Hanjun's appearance.
They could tell from his clothing that he wasn't one of the brave ones, but they had never seen anyone with such an outstanding appearance before.
Plus, since Hanjun was standing behind Father Barry, it seemed like they had a good relationship, making the townspeople curious about this young man's identity.
Hanjun's firm stance kept Father Barry in place and since he was hiding behind Father Barry, he could avoid many curious gazes toward him.
Because the situation was urgent, even though the town residents were curious about his identity, they wouldn't ask about it at that moment.
The figures of the demon race slowly emerged from the horizon.
The town residents pointed at the strange, non-human-looking demons and said, "It really is the demon race—they're here!"
