Demon Royal Family

The two people quarreling were Lucian Villafar, the commander of the Pegasus Legion, and Severn III. Even though the latter was the king, at the military level, only Lucian, the veteran soldier who had been in charge of the Pegasus Legion for seventeen years, had the right to speak, especially In a war, even the king cannot make arbitrary decisions as long as there are disagreements.

There were also a large number of middle-level officers present, who looked helplessly as the legion commander and the king quarreled, and did not dare to go up to start a fight. They could not afford to offend either of them.

Donald was sitting in the corner, closing his eyes and concentrating, turning a deaf ear to the quarrel. When he heard the curtains move, he opened his eyes and saw Ivo. His face was slightly startled, and then he nodded to Ivo as a greeting.

Ivo touched his nose and interjected: "Well... what's going on now?"

Lucian's words were interrupted. He looked at Ivo displeased and shouted: "Who are you? You stepped into a military meeting without permission. Someone come and lock him up!"

However, Severn III's eyes lit up and he took a few steps forward, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is the lord of Liema Town, Ivo Harricon, who defeated the northern orcs, and is the Baron of the Kingdom."

"Oh, it turns out it's you..." Lucian was startled and looked Ivo up and down.

Ivo's deeds were spread among the major legions in Lasces. When the situation in the kingdom was so bad, he built a stable territory under pressure from all sides, allowing the terrifying group of northern orcs to return in defeat. Lucian He had some admiration for Ivo, especially considering Ivo's age, he was even more impressed.

Because of his reputation, Lucian acquiesced to Ivo's participation in the military meeting. They were all in Ivo's territory.

"Didn't you compete with Baria for Storm Valley? It's just the beginning of spring, and you lost so quickly?" Ivo said in surprise.

Lucian nodded awkwardly and said dejectedly: "Old Kane is indeed the legendary Duke of Barea. He launched a surprise attack in the winter and attacked from three sides. We were unprepared and suffered heavy losses. In the end, we lost Storm Valley and only 14,000 people were left in the legion. about."

Ivo took a breath. The Pegasus Legion itself had a strength of 35,000. After nearly a year of war, the number was reduced to about 25,000. The defeat in Storm Valley directly reduced the legion sharply. Nearly half of the manpower was lost. This was a huge defeat.

"Old man Kane has a huge appetite. He is not satisfied with occupying Storm Valley. He leads tens of thousands of legions to pursue and kill him. He wants to conquer the Western Territory all the way. Our morale is low and we cannot stop Kane. If we force a war, there is a high chance that the entire country will be ruined. Legion.”

"...This metaphor is very colorful and I like it very much."

Ivo thought for a while and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Lucian said: "Abandon most of the Western Territory as a buffer area to hold back Kane. I have sent a message to the Spear Legion and they will come to support. This period of time is very important."

Ivo frowned: "Abandon the Western Territory? What will the Western Territory lords do?"

"Let them give up their territory and lead their troops to meet in Luolong City."

The king shook his head: "I disagree."

Lucian said with a straight face: "This is the only way out."

Donald glanced at Lucian.

It is absolutely impossible for Ivo to give up Liema Town. Lucian wanted to trade depth for time. Ivo did not agree with his idea and said in a deep voice: "If Luolong City is defeated again, where can we retreat to?"

Lucian glared and said: "At least it is better than the Pegasus Legion being completely wiped out and the Western Territory being completely lost."

Ivo looked at him and suddenly laughed, "The enemy not only defeated your legion, but also destroyed your will. You are scared."

Lucian was furious, "Fart!"

"When facing the enemy, I don't want to resist, I just want to delay and escape." Ivo suddenly grabbed Lucian's collar, not caring about the identity of the enemy's army commander, and yelled: "What's the use of your army commander?!"

The expressions of the surrounding middle-level officers changed, and they wanted to step forward and pull the two away, but Ivo let go in time and said coldly: "You are right, the Legion is the only hope of the kingdom, but when the Legion loses its belief in victory, The kingdom has lost hope."

Severn III said slowly: "We can no longer retreat."

Lucian's face turned red and he said angrily: "What can you do? There are more than 40,000 Barians, well-trained and equipped, and their commander is the legendary Duke. He can see through all your tricks at a glance."

Ivo suddenly pulled out his two knives and split the tent with one blow. The soldiers passing by looked at the split tent and the officers with dull faces in surprise. Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Ivo inexplicably. They didn't know what his move was. what for.

Ivo pointed into the distance, "Isn't the solution right in front of you?"

Everyone looked along and saw that it was a long wall more than ten meters high that Ivo had built long ago, as well as countless bunkers and military tunnels. Severn III's eyes lit up, "You mean..."

Ivo nodded, "My defense plan is formulated for this situation. If you trust me, let the Pegasus Legion stay. Your 14,000 people, plus Liema Town, Jinggu, and Youyou The combined number of more than 10,000 people in Gezhen and Jintongue River is enough to function as a defensive line."

Donald stood up and looked at Ivo with a smile, "I agree with this plan."

Severn III nodded and looked at Lucian.

Seeing that no one agreed with his opinion, Lucian pointed at Ivo and said angrily: "If we fail, even if I am destined to die on the battlefield, I will support you first!"

Ivo was not angry, but laughed. Being able to say such words, he believed that Lucian was reliable.

Barria's tens of thousands of troops are attacking. This is a bigger challenge than the northern orcs. It is impossible not to worry. However, Ivo hid his emotions and started to prepare for the war. He increased the number of people on the defense line and sent Pegasus Legions were assigned to vacant positions.

Time, the most lacking thing is time.

While Liema Town was making intensive preparations, the enemy was approaching step by step.

…

After the beginning of spring, the snow became much lighter.

The endless army marched on the wilderness, like a long snake.

Kane looked in the direction of the Western Territory and said with a serious smile: "How long will it take?"

The adjutant beside him said: "It will take three days for the advance troops to arrive, and six days for the main army. The outermost territory of the Western Territory is Liema Town. It is said that the northern orcs have been repelled, and the lord Ivo Harricon has certain leadership capabilities. "

Kane said calmly: "You don't need to care about such a small role. No one in the West can stop my army. I will end this war with my own hands and destroy the unrealistic hopes of the Lacese people."

…

Barea's other army was stationed in the High Stone Plains, and Aiweier was the commander. She got the information that Kane defeated the Pegasus Army and marched into the West.

"Races is finished." Aiweier smiled faintly. He was not surprised by this result. The Barians knew Duke Kane's ability. The legendary Duke's name was not called for nothing. Twenty or thirty years ago, Kane had already He was a senior general of Baria. He once led a thousand cavalry to a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Baria rebels at that time, and killed the rebel leader among tens of thousands of people. He became famous for a while. Later, he went through hundreds of battles, large and small. Gradually he reached the Duke's position.

Aiweier still remembers that Kane once became a candidate for the "Flag" of the Colo Rift Chess. Only the strongest people from the five continents in various fields are eligible to be selected as candidates for the Colo Rift Rift Chess. This is an honor. Kane's ability has been proven by time.

"After the Western Territory is bulldozed, Lases's last breath will also disappear, and this war will be over." Aiweier calculated, and she asked the adjutant for information on Lases' Western Territory to measure the opponent. Saw Ivo's name.

She raised her eyebrows, remembering her past hatred. She was forced by Ivo to use a powerful jump scroll in Sanxiti. Her strength was reduced by one level due to injury. It took a year of training to recover, which delayed her. time.

Avril hated Ivo with a itch, and she felt very relieved when she thought that Ivo's territory was about to be crushed by Kane.
