Demon Royal Family

Time enters the valley month of May.

In the blink of an eye, the expansion of Liema Town has been very effective.

There are two more quarries, a lumberyard, two fields, and an ore vein.

Workers are building military roads to connect various resource collection sites and Liema Town. The military roads can speed up support. Bunkers will also be built on both sides of the military roads, which require a lot of manpower to be stationed.

However, with the influx of refugees, the number of soldiers gradually increased.

The town itself is expanding, and the fortifications are also changing accordingly. The external city wall is divided into two layers, with the interval area acting as a buffer. Fortress walls are built on the outer wall, becoming protruding points on the outer wall. There are many crenellations on the fortress, allowing Ballistas and longbowmen poured down their firepower.

On this day, Ivo received shocking news about the church.

In order to remain neutral in the war, the Holy See made a surprising move. They evacuated all personnel on Frigga and returned to their headquarters.

In the eyes of the people, this was the church abandoning Frigga, which dealt a heavy blow to many loyal believers.

It was as if the gods had abandoned Frigga.

Of course, Ivo didn't care about these remarks. What surprised him was the attitude of the Holy See. Throughout history, even if the Holy See remained neutral in the war, it would not make a large-scale withdrawal. This feels like the Holy See does not want to lose. Anyone who wants to conserve power.

In any case, the attitude of the Holy Court was beyond the expectations of all forces.

Members of the church from all the forces in Frigga continent went to the Guishuang Kingdom and crossed the sea to leave.

Ivo felt a little heavy. The withdrawal of the Holy See made the situation worse. It was like lifting the iron mask and shackles that silenced heretics. The lawless place was a carnival for heretics. This was the case with Abraham, which would definitely bring more troubles. risk.

On this day, three chamber of commerce presidents came to Ivo.

"Lord Ivo, we are going to Luolong City. Thank you for your protection these days. We are here to say goodbye."

Ivo was slightly startled, "Why so sudden?"

The three presidents were a little nervous, and finally one president named Wood said: "We think Luolong City is safer, so..."

Ivo understood. These three Chamber of Commerce presidents felt that Liema Town was not safe enough and wanted to find a safer shelter. Ivo had no choice but to do so. Luolong City was the largest city in the Western Territory, with tens of thousands of people living there. The defender, he received news that a large number of fleeing nobles have been sheltered in Luolong City. Luolong City is the first choice for all refugees, but they have to pay money to enter the city, so some helpless refugees chose other small territories. , most of the refugees who come to Liema Town are like this.

"I understand, I will let the guards open the city gate." Ivo said calmly.

The three chamber of commerce presidents were a little embarrassed. After all, Ivo had protected them for two months and now he was abandoning them. It was a bit unethical. However, in order to survive, they felt that their choice was wise.

Ivo quickly put this matter behind him. He received a report from Rhodes that the capacity of the guards had reached a bottleneck. There were a total of 2,500 people, of which only 3,400 were veterans. One veteran Leading five or six new recruits is already strenuous enough, and continuing to recruit more soldiers will reduce the overall strength of the Guards.

Quality cannot be sacrificed for quantity. That is not what Ivo wants. The training of soldiers is a long-term process and cannot be accomplished overnight. He needs to increase the strength of the guards in the short term. This is a bit distressing, so he can only start with equipment.

Ivo found Dopp and asked: "Dopp, can the dwarf blacksmith make better weapons and armor?"

Dopp shook his head, wondering: "Technology determines the lower limit of finished products, and materials determine the upper limit of finished products. We have already used the most suitable ores and steel to create weapons. If we want to go further, the cost will be ten times higher. I think the territory cannot bear this for the time being." s expenses."

Dopp has experience in managing the city. As a representative of the dwarves, he has become a high-level executive in Liema Town. He is well aware of the situation in the territory. Ivo has no doubts about Dopp's judgment.

After thinking about it, Ivo's eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't improve the material of the equipment, but he could enchant the equipment. Sandhiti's three enchanted monuments were war reserves for this situation.

Soon, all the guards were notified to turn in their weapons and equipment. Everyone was confused and didn't know what the lord was going to do.

However, when the equipment returned to their hands a few days later, they were completely shocked. All equipment was enchanted. Broad swords, great swords, spears and other weapons were enchanted with [Intermediate Sharpness], which increased their sharpness by 40%. The shields and armor are stronger, and the most amazing thing is the boots. After wearing them, my legs feel full of strength and more agile.

This batch of enchanted equipment has increased the strength of the guards by more than 50%. It can be said that they have been raised from ordinary soldiers to the level of elite soldiers.

All the guards were excited.

Only the senior officials were horrified. They knew that all the equipment had actually been taken away by Ivo, and just a few days later, thousands of enchantments were completed.

This is incredible!

Could it be that Ivo also hid hundreds of enchanters?

Ivo had no intention of explaining. Nafi, Dopp and others could only put the shock back into their stomachs. Ivo's image became more mysterious in their eyes, especially Nafi, who stared at Ivo all day long, as if I want to see through this man whose lives are tied to me with my eyes.

And a few days later, exciting news came to all Lassese people.

The king connected with the Pegasus Legion, was safe, and issued a proclamation. Through the magic of the surviving Royal Mage Group and more than a hundred magic stones, it resounded throughout the entire territory, like a voice descending from heaven.

"My dear people, as you can see, Rases is experiencing a terrible disaster. Blood and pain have swept across our homeland. I will not forgive the enemies who trample on my beloved land. I will never Compromise and be willing to go through the darkest days with everyone. As long as we don’t give up hope, we will eventually see the light!”

"In the name of the eighth king of Lases, Severn F. Raseskar, I issue a nationwide recruitment order. Now, the war has just begun!"

Ivo exhaled and glanced around. The eyes of every town citizen were ignited with the light of hope and anger against the enemy. The declaration of Severn III was like a dawn that pierced the darkness, driving away the past three months. The haze in the hearts of people who lost their future in the war guided everyone's direction and inspired the motivation to fight.

The king's declaration allowed the Lacese people to find their backbone.

The north, south, east, and south were involved in the war. Only the west was better. Barea was raging in the High Stone Plains and the north. Raynor was attacking the south. Orcs such as the Earth Wolf Clan were in the east. There were rumors circulating that the king would build a new king in Luolong City. As the last line of defense, Luolong City is the safest.

For a time, people in the town were filled with excitement.

The three chamber of commerce presidents headed by Wood secretly lamented that they had made the right decision.

Ivo's response to this is simple.

Leave if you like.

To his relief, few left.

At dusk, the three chambers of commerce teams drifted away. Barlow raised his eyebrows and said, "You won't stop me?"

"It's not necessary." Ivo shook his head and said in a worried tone: "I always have an intuition that the Western Region will become even more chaotic than other regions."

"The safest place...maybe the most dangerous place."
