Demon Royal Family

The heavy rain stopped.

The blood flows into a stream.

With Nebuldan freed and airborne, the bandits retreated.

On the city wall, the surviving guards were panting and sitting on the ground with dull eyes, not yet recovering from the fierce battle.

The residents of the town cried with joy.

However, a piece of news quickly dispelled everyone's joy.

Ma Di, the lord of Liema Town, died in the city wall defense battle last night.

Whether they are guards, mercenaries or residents, they are all worried and don't know what changes will happen in the future.

Who will lead them?

There was a solemn atmosphere in the lord's longhouse. Madi's body was laid flat on the ground and covered with linen.

The senior leaders of Liema Town present were silent. No one spoke first. They knew that in this meeting, a new commander must be elected. Ma Di has no heirs. It is very likely that the commander selected now will inherit this ownerless land. territory.

Ivo knocked on the table and said coldly: "I need an explanation."

Rhodes put down the pipe in his mouth, exhaled, and said dejectedly: "It was my dereliction of duty."

Everyone was silent, and Cross Ax spoke angrily: "The situation last night was too complicated. We fought bloody battles. Captain Rhodes was injured by the Bewanalu heretics and almost died. No one relaxed. Captain Rhodes didn't let up at all." You don’t need to take this responsibility!”

Ivo turned to look at him and said calmly: "You mean, you think you have done your best and no one is right?"

Crossed Ax nodded: "That's what I meant."

"In other words, Madi's death was entirely due to his bad luck, right?"

Crossaxe nodded hesitantly.

Ivo suddenly got angry and kicked the table over. Everyone stood up in panic. Ivo said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't accept this excuse!"

"Using your best as an excuse can you blame all mistakes on luck?" Ivo's eyes were cold, "Don't fucking fool me!"

"It is a dereliction of duty if you fail to protect the lord!" Ivo glanced at the audience coldly and said: "In less than an hour after I left the city wall, I eliminated the enemies who sneaked in from the tunnel. In this short period of time, Madi was attacked by the enemy. Kill me. Now you want to tell me that none of you are right. Do you think it’s my fault? You blame me for leaving the city wall?"

Can you avoid mistakes by saying "I tried my best"?

Ivo didn't like this. He was a result-oriented character. Things went wrong not long after he left the city wall. How could he not be angry?

He had known Madi for two years and was barely a friend. The death of his friend made Ivo very angry.

Cross Ax was speechless. If Ivo hadn't solved the tunnel, Liema Town would have been breached long ago.

They failed to protect Madi, that's a fact that can't be argued.

"I am willing to accept punishment." Rhodes said solemnly.

"I will punish you, but now is not the time," Ivo restrained his anger and knocked on the table, "Now let's talk about another matter. Madi is dead, Liema Town needs a new commander, and I will be the commander. Does anyone object?"

The situation was urgent, and the bandit army was watching eagerly. Ivo was not in the mood to beat around the bush, and directly stated his attitude. If it weren't for the Hurricanes, he would not be willing to take over this mess.

The masters looked at each other and turned to the steward, Old Cody. Old Cody said tremblingly: "I have no objection."

Rhodes nodded: "I agree."

He crossed his ax and looked around, "I agree too."

The masters all agreed, and no one objected. If Ivo hadn't descended from the sky on a dragon, they would have died long ago. Moreover, during this period, Ivo gave orders on Madi's behalf and made decisive decisions. No one doubted his ability to lead.

Ivo became the recognized new lord of Liema Town. Although he did not get the permission of the royal family, during the war, no one cared about formality, and those who were able took over.

After arranging many matters after the war, including cleaning the battlefield, burning corpses, and repairing city walls, Ivo came to the dungeon and interrogated the dying Venomous Fang.

"What are the plans of the Barians?" Ivo got straight to the point.

Venomous Fang sneered: "I'm just an ordinary leader of a band of thieves, how could I know that?"

Ivo raised his eyebrows, stood up, walked to the table next to him, touched the various torture instruments on it, and without looking back, said calmly: "I hope you won't last too long, I'm very busy."

Thirty minutes later.

Ivo wiped off the blood on his hands. As he expected, Venomous Fang was also a member of Baria's lurkers. Since that organization was disbanded, Venomous Fang did not return to Baria, but continued to lurk in Lassis.

But there wasn't much information. I just knew that Venomous Fang had met with Baria's troops and presented a detailed map of the entire Lases. In addition, I knew some news about changes in the outside world.

The war situation is still confusing, Gregor City has turned into a war meat grinder, and the Purple Feather Flower Army and the orcs are fighting in the southeast.

A large number of thugs and bandit organizations appeared in Lasces, many territories were attacked, and the whole territory was in chaos.

…

In the next two days, the thugs outside the town did not act rashly. They lost more than 800 people and needed to recuperate.

The top management of Liema Town held another meeting. This time it was very urgent. The town's resources were officially exhausted, and everyone was frowning.

At this time, Ivo's communication badge vibrated. After reading the message, he became energetic and said, "The resources I mobilized are here."

Nebuldan was seen fluttering his wings and disappearing from the sky. An hour later, the Frost Dragon returned to the town, carrying a large amount of supplies on its back, and landed in the open space.

The surrounding residents cheered, and the senior officials were slightly stunned. Nafi looked at Ivo in surprise, "Where did you get these things?"

Ivo chuckled and didn't answer.

This batch of materials has everything you need and meets your urgent needs.

But this is just the beginning.

After unloading the supplies, the Frost Dragon took off again and transported them back and forth six times. The supplies piled up into a hill, and everyone went from shock to numbness. In the end, the affairs officer complained with a sad face. The quantity was so huge that he couldn't even count it. It was just a rough estimate. , these supplies are enough for them to use for a year.

Nafi is becoming more and more curious about Ivo's hidden identity. Being able to mobilize so many supplies, what has Ivo experienced in the past two years?

In the last delivery, Paro and a dozen men in black robes rode a dragon and landed in the town.

Paro knelt down and saluted, kissed Ivo's ring, and handed over a long list, "Sir, I have completed your order. This is the name of all the supplies."

Ivo read it over and threw the list to the worried old Cody: "No need to count, here is the list."

Five thousand pots of high-quality arrows, four folding crossbows, two thousand special four-meter-long crossbow arrows, six thousand pounds of kerosene, three thousand "flame-level" small alchemical explosions, and one thousand "explosion-level" standard alchemical explosions bombs, a hundred "evaporation grade" extra-large alchemical explosive bombs, hundreds of refined chainmails, long knives, broadswords, short spears, long bows and other equipment, as well as enough food for half a year, and several more A hundred barrels of ale, etc.

The large amount of supplies swept away the desperate atmosphere in the town, and everyone cheered up.

With so much supplies, we can definitely defend the town.

While everyone was happily carrying supplies, Ivo and Paro came to the secret place. Paro took out a black stone and said, "The Archbishop wants to talk to you."

Ivo crushed the black stone, and a billowing black mist appeared in front of him. The archbishop's voice came out, "Lan Yan, you mobilized one-fifth of the supplies of the Lasces branch. I need a reason."

Ivo said calmly: "War is the birthplace of despair. It gives hope and goodwill to the confused refugees, and then instills in them the teachings of the Dark Eye, causing them to abandon the faith of the hypocritical gods and switch to the embrace of darkness. Archbishop, this is What a great way to preach.”

The archbishop was silent for a while and said slowly: "Do it well and don't let me down."

The black mist disappeared, and Ivo felt certain in his heart that the Archbishop had agreed. In fact, he was not cheating. This was also the intention of the Dark Eye to provoke the war, but he was not planning to preach.

Since there is an excuse, the supplies of the Dark Eye are not used in vain.

With abundant supplies, Liema Town's defense strength increased several levels. In the next half month, the thugs attacked four times, and each time they were forced back by a rain of arrows and alchemical bombs. Surprised by the situation in Liema Town, The transformation was as if arrows, kerosene, and alchemical bombs were thrown around for free.

What surprised the thugs was that there were four more ballistas on the city wall, and they were immediately helpless.

But Ivo is not satisfied with resisting the attack. His idea is to repel the enemy and then move the foundation of the Hurricane Regiment. Thinking about it now, Liema Town is too unsafe, and Ivo is ready to slowly transfer the various industries of the Hurricane Regiment to Lasais. Sicheng.

First, we need to find a way to deal with this group of thugs besieging the city.

Ivo wrote three letters asking for help. According to the instructions of the clerk, he carefully considered the wording of the nobles and asked the letter eagle to take them to the lords of the three nearby territories, hoping to get support. Madi also did the same, but there was no response from the other party.

Ivo was not worried because he was asking for help for a fee.

The next step is to wait in the guard.

…

In the 337th year of the Glory Calendar, it was the fifth day of the Sprout Month. This was a day that went down in history.

Late at night, on the same day in March, the evening stars are shining brightly.

A few miles away from the Dragon Throat Fortress in the south of Lasces is a forest called the "Green Felt Hat". Viewed from a high altitude, the shape of the forest looks like a warped felt hat. At the same time, the Green Felt Hat Forest is also called the Forest of Friendship.

Two Laces troops with different flags were hidden in the green felt hat woods, looking at the Dragonmaw Fortress occupied by the Renault people under the night.
