Demon Royal Family

Lasces City was captured. This ancient city with hundreds of years of history was wailing in the raging flames. The ancient buildings that had been mottled by time were also destroyed.

The 300,000 residents of this royal city suffered great changes, were displaced, and their blood flowed into a river.

A large number of civilians came to Laces Cathedral in panic and sought refuge. Archbishop Kenneth opened the door and allowed civilians to take refuge. Soon the church was filled with civilians, thousands of them, and the number was increasing rapidly.

Soon, thousands of Barian troops were chasing after them, and the leading officer roared: "Does the Holy See want to participate in the war? Open the door quickly!"

The Overlord tried to negotiate: "The gods of the north protect Frigga's people from being harmed by swords and spears, praise..."

Without saying a word, the officer shouted loudly, "Attack!"

The red-eyed Baria soldiers swarmed forward, ignoring the transcendent status of the church. The priest of the church was pushed to the ground. Arbitrator Genute said coldly: "My lord, the Overlord, what should I do?"

The Patriarch took a deep breath and looked sadly at the Barians who rushed into the church and slaughtered the crying civilians. He said dejectedly: "We can't do anything. The Pope wants all the churches in Frigga to remain neutral. We can't drag the Holy See into the war." swirl!"

The cries and screams of the civilians filled his ears, and the Overlord closed his eyes in pain.

"Why doesn't the church protect us?!"

"Aren't you the messengers who spread the glory of the gods?"

"Northern gods, please save your believers!"

"Church, you are all cowards!"

…

Since Rael brought the news of the fall of the royal capital three days ago, everything has been sliding towards the darkest abyss, and the situation has deteriorated at an unprecedented speed. It is as if the Kingdom of Lasces has reached the edge of destruction overnight.

The city of Rases was burned to the ground and turned into ruins on the High Stone Plain, and it was said that the black smoke of the embers could be seen a hundred miles away.

After conquering the royal capital, the Barian army dispersed and began to hunt down those who escaped.

The only good news is that the king escaped from Rasese under the protection of his personal guards and his current whereabouts are unknown.

Ivo rubbed his frown, feeling very distressed. Rael had already left in a hurry. Liema Town was enveloped in an atmosphere of despair. Even Nafi, who had always been strong, fell into panic, worrying about the life and death of her family.

The destruction of the royal capital greatly exceeded Ivo's expectations. Now no place in Lases was absolutely safe, and he had no way out.

escape?

This is the first choice that only a coward would consider.

Ivo's thinking is very clear. If he stays in Lasces, will he definitely die?

The answer is no, but there will definitely be danger.

Since death is not inevitable, Ivo does not want to run away in the face of battle. Lassese has his friends and his power. If he runs away, his achievements in the past few years will be completely meaningless.

Only those who dare to step into a crisis-ridden environment are qualified to grow in blood and fire!

Chaos is the proving ground for the strong!

As the saying goes, if you don’t act recklessly when faced with a problem, your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle sooner or later!

Ivo walked out of the house and saw empty-eyed townspeople sitting on the street. They seemed to be in despair and had nothing to live for. Even the guards patrolling the city wall were absent-minded. Everyone was preoccupied and worried about the future of the country. .

Seeing this, Ivo took a deep breath. He couldn't let these people continue to despair. The despair of the soul will make people lose the motivation to persevere. He roared: "Look at your dejected looks, like cowardly white sheep." , all look at me!”

Everyone looked at Ivo with numb faces.

"I ask you, is the king dead?"

A sparse reply came: "No..."

"Is all the army dead?"

More people whispered: "No."

“Are we subjugated as a nation?!”

The answer gradually became louder: "No!"

"Last question," Ivo roared loudly, as if he had vented all his confusion, "Are we dead?!"

"No -" everyone shouted in response and stood up suddenly!

Ivo suddenly laughed and said calmly: "Since he is not dead, then go do whatever you have to do and don't stay here in a daze."

Everyone agreed with a bang, with hope shining in their eyes, and their sanity was awakened by Ivo.

Since you are not dead, don’t wait to die!

Soon, Liema Town returned to its normal atmosphere, with everyone holding back their energy and focusing on their work.

Ivo nodded and walked to the corner. Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly wiped off the densely packed speech manuscript on his palm, coughed twice, pretended to be nonchalant, and walked back to the room.

Lao De: "..."

Guding: "..."

Liema Town is in your own hands. Perhaps this is your only chance in the war, and it is your last refuge. You must make it indestructible to protect your own safety.

Fortunately, the western border of Lases was relatively safe for the time being. After learning that the royal capital had fallen, the Pegasus Legion on the western border began to take action. This was an elite group of troops, and Barea and Renault must not have wanted to encounter them. Therefore, before the Pegasus Legion leaves the Western Territory, Liema Town will not encounter an organized legion, and the relatively safe days will last for more than a month.

First of all, Liema Town must develop and need more manpower. The current number of guards is far from enough to guard the town. He has asked Rhodes to select young people among the townspeople to conduct combat training and replenish the guard manpower, but the townspeople are not Many, only four hundred people were selected, and it took at least a month of training before they could barely fight. There were still not enough soldiers.

Nowadays, the whole territory of Lases is in chaos and there are countless refugees. This may be an opportunity. He wants to accept these refugees and transform them into the fighting power and productivity of Liema Town. Only safety and food can attract these refugees. Ivo asked the people of the Dark Eye in Paro to spread the news and let more refugees know about the existence of Liema Town. It can provide food, fire and cotton clothes, and it must be able to attract many refugees.

Of course, this will also increase the potential risk of being targeted by bandits and thugs who are causing trouble everywhere, but Ivo has no choice but to replenish his manpower. If he remains stubborn, he will encounter disaster sooner or later. Only development is the last word.

With Nebuldan and abundant supplies, ordinary thugs still cannot capture Liema Town.

In addition, Ivo asked Paro to mobilize all the supplies from the Lasese branch of the Eye of Darkness and stockpile them to avoid another resource shortage crisis one day.

To survive in troubled times, allies are indispensable. Ivo wanted to help each other with the three nearby territories. To this end, he wrote a letter, explaining in detail the principle of death and coldness, and asked the letter eagle to pass it to the three lords, hoping to get a response.

While Ivo was busy with these trivial but necessary affairs, he did not notice that a stranger appeared in Liema Town. In this chaotic moment, this new face was not discovered by other townspeople.

This is a man who looks quite young, with a tall build, an angular appearance, and is not angry or intimidating. He has long messy hair and an obvious cross scar on his left forehead. He is wearing a simple gray animal skin cotton robe. On the street wall opposite the lord's longhouse, he stared at the window sill of Ivo's room and whispered to himself:

"I found you...my kindred spirit."
