Demon Royal Family

After setting up an ambush against Kane last time, in just half a month, Ivo achieved greater results and completely repelled Kane who invaded the Western Territory.

If last time it could be explained by Kane's negligence, this time it was an indefensible defeat.

Twenty thousand Barians were chased by Ivo's three thousand cavalry for three days and three nights, and fled in panic.

Kane's decades-long halo of honor was shattered by Ivo, and the legendary Duke fell from the altar.

All the Lassians developed an almost fanatical admiration for Ivo.

Unknowingly, the small Liema Town had grown to the point where it could influence the war.

All thanks to Ivo.

Looking back at the beginning, Ivo's trajectory seems to be vivid in his mind. The people of Las Vegas watched him step by step to reach where he is today. He started to stand out after killing Kalilban, became famous when he won the Academy League crown, and challenged the Royal The strength of the academy was invincible, and he was questioned when he succeeded the lord of Liema Town. He quickly proved his ability by defeating the northern orcs, and later took the initiative to reveal his identity as a heretic, but he was not disgusting.

Now, he has defeated the legendary Duke of Barea who has been poisoning the land of Lasces for a year.

Almost single-handedly reversed the course of the war.

He rose up at the end of the day and stirred up the turmoil of the war.

Ivo's name is deeply engraved in the hearts of every Lasces refugee.

It's the rise of a new legend!

"Hero of Lasces", this title is spread more and more widely among the people of Lasces.

Not only the fleeing refugees, but also the soldiers in Lasces regard Ivo as the person who can really influence the war.

Ivo's commanding ability impressed everyone around him.

The defense line he built was also treated with a special name. The defense line was named after Ivo and was called the Harrican Defense Line.

This is the recognition of Ivo by the Lassese people. In the eyes of the Lassese people, Ivo is the soul of the Harrican defense line.

The northern orcs, Duke Kane, no matter who they were, failed to capture the Harrican defense line.

The Harrican Defense Line has almost become a symbol of hope for the kingdom. As long as the defense line does not fall, the kingdom can make a comeback.

With high morale, Ivo was appointed as the top staff officer by the king, and followed the Pegasus Legion and the Lancer Legion in the counterattack against Storm Valley.

Severn III showed his absolute trust in Ivo and gave him the power to veto tactics. Originally, he wanted Ivo to become the supreme commander, but Ivo declined.

Ivo doesn't want to be a commander. There are many things to worry about, which will affect his judgment to a certain extent. Focusing on analyzing the enemy's tactics is what he is good at.

The eyes of the entire Hokuriku are gathered here.

If Lasces can win this head-on battle, the war will really change.

…

Two legions, nearly 30,000 strong, besieged Storm Valley.

Kane built a large number of fortifications and stood ready.

The two legions were stationed outside Storm Valley, and the surrounding terrain was flat. Ivo had people build watchtowers to observe each other's situation.

At the top of the watchtower, Ivo held his hands on the railings and squinted his eyes to look at the Storm Valley.

The terrain of Storm Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The mountain walls on both sides are towering, nearly 90 degrees, like a smooth wall. It is very steep and ordinary soldiers cannot climb it.

There are only two entrances to the Storm Valley. At this time, three levels of passes have been built, sealing the narrow entrance. It seems that they are determined to hold on and cannot find any loopholes.

Looking at the arrow holes on the pass that were densely packed like honeycombs, Ivo understood that anyone who attacked forcefully would pay an unbearable price.

"It's very tricky." Ivo rubbed his nose and switched from the defensive side to the attacking side. This made him a little uncomfortable, just like changing from a tinker to a manufacturer, which was more difficult.

Nafi stood behind him and saw Ivo frowning in thought with a troubled look on his face. She walked forward gently, squeezed Ivo's palm and comforted him: "Take a rest, you have been watching for eight hours."

Ivo looked at her with soft eyes, "You have been with me for so long."

"Everyone says you are the hero of Lasses, and I am honored to be by your side." Nafei smiled sweetly, recalling with her eyes a year ago when she and Ivo rode on Nebuldan to support Liema Town. She never imagined that Ivo would reach this point, it was like a dream.

Over the past year, Ivo has shown too many aspects that she didn't understand, such as his leadership ability and heretical identity... To Nafi, Ivo is like a fascinating book, constantly turning new pages, it seems. There is always new content to refresh Nafi's understanding of him.

I don’t know when it started, but Nafi couldn’t stop reading. She wanted to keep reading this book.

Ivo sighed softly, "The era when heroes are needed is not a good era. This war has gone on for long enough, and it is time to end it."

Nafei said: "What are your plans?"

"This should be the last war I participate in," Ivo looked at Storm Valley and murmured: "As long as the situation is changed, everything will develop irreversibly like fate. I just need to rest in the territory, Wait for Lasces to complete the counterattack step by step."

"As long as I succeed this time, I won't have to participate in the war anymore." Ivo rubbed his eyebrows.

A messenger shouted from under the tower: "Lord Ivo, the two legion commanders invite you to attend the meeting."

"Let's go." Ivo rubbed his face, put on a calm expression, and walked ahead.

Nafei covered her mouth and smiled, then followed Ivo.

No matter what Ivo has become, in her heart, the deepest impression is still the despicable young man from the beginning.

…

All middle-level officers and above gathered in the commander's tent.

Lucian pointed at the military map and said: "The terrain of Storm Valley is very unfavorable to us. I suggest that we first conduct a feint attack and test it, and use alchemy cannons and catapults to carry out long-range attacks on the passes."

Andrew and the mid-level officers nodded. This is a routine tactic and there is nothing to object to.

Then everyone's eyes focused on Ivo.

"Lord Ivo, do you have any good suggestions?" Lucian asked.

Ivo glanced around and saw that everyone was listening attentively and respecting his opinion, so he slowly said: "I have no objection. I suggest focusing on siege. I conclude that the food and grass for Kane's army will not be too large." The longer we delay, the harder it will be for the enemy. The only thing we need to pay attention to is the Baria garrison in the High Stone Plain, they may come to support."

Andrew said worriedly: "The commander-in-chief of the Baria army in the High Stone Plain is Avel Baria. This woman's fighting style is very crazy. She has 60,000 to 70,000 people. If they all come to support us, we will be in danger."

"The troops led by Aiweier are the main army, and their composition is very complex. In addition to the national army, there are also the lords' private armies that Baria responded to the call for. Among the 60,000 to 70,000 people, there are only about 40,000 combat troops, and the rest are logistics. Moreover, they occupy the High Rock Plains and have to divide their soldiers to guard various strategic locations. The number of support soldiers that can be dispatched is only 20,000 at most."

"Besides, we also have reinforcements." Ivo said in a mysterious tone.

Lucian and Andrew looked at each other and wondered: "Our reinforcements? Evergreen was maimed and went to rest somewhere. Ziyuhua has been fighting the orcs for a whole year and has recovered a lot of lost territory. We have no skills at all. Where can we go?" Are there reinforcements?"

"You will know when the time comes," Ivo said calmly: "Reinforcements are the key to our capture of Storm Valley."

Everyone nodded.

Although Ivo did not explain, they had no reason to believe Ivo.

This is the huge reputation Ivo has accumulated after a year of war.
