Demon Royal Family

Snowflakes are falling and the north wind is howling.

A dozen or so finely dressed humans rode horses through the wilderness.

The leader was an old man with a baron badge on his chest. They were from a small noble family in a remote area. The old baron's team was filled with his family members, including his wife, several children and several servants.

The twenty-year-old son asked: "Father, are you coming soon?"

The old baron wiped his sweat and looked excited, "Come on, let's speed up. Maybe we can get there before dark."

The eldest son worriedly said: "Father, let's walk slower. There may be bandits ahead."

The old baron laughed, "The bandits' restricted area is within fifty miles of Harrican's defense line!"

The group of people moved forward slowly. On the distant horizon, the outline of a huge city slowly appeared, and the edges of the outline could not be seen at a glance.

This is a magnificent city!

Harricon Line, New Las Vegas City!

The group of people were deeply shocked just by looking at the outline of the city from a distance.

"It's really... too big!"

"Can we really go in?" The younger son murmured, "This is legendary..."

The old baron said: "Don't worry, outsiders are welcome to live in New Lasace City. Our savings are enough to buy a small villa in Crystal Valley District."

"I really want to see Ivo's statue."

"Haha, there is a statue of the Lord outside the city hall. We can visit it when we apply for a residence permit."

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived outside the long wall of Harricon. There was a long snake-like queue at the city gate, all of them wanted to enter New Laces City.

The guards questioned them carefully and slowly, and the old baron and his family were at the end of the queue.

When New Lasace City was first built half a year ago, someone tried to climb over the long wall and was nailed to the wall by a crossbow arrow. From then on, no one dared to violate the rules of the Harricon Line of Defense.

The rules set by "Lord of Harricon" Ivo.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally the turn of the old baron and his family. When the guards heard about their noble status, their faces were calm and they had no reaction at all. The guards guarding the Harrican defense line were well-informed. Not to mention the baron, even the earl Even if you have seen it, you still have to ask to enter the city, no one is exception.

Some people in the ranks complained.

"There are too many people, so we might as well go to Luolong City."

"Hehe, Luolong City is scum compared to New Laces City."

"That's right, who would go to Luolong City now? That damn place charges money to enter the city."

"New Las Vegas is better."

After delaying for more than an hour, the old baron and his family finally entered New Lasace City and were immediately shocked by the scenery in front of them.

The street is spacious enough to accommodate fifty people side by side. There is a huge fountain square in the distance. The street is full of people, the sounds of hawking are coming and going, there are many shops, and the atmosphere is extremely lively.

Farther away, there are two conch-like hills. Houses are densely built on the hills. The tops of the hills are cut into flat surfaces, and a large number of tall towers are built, including wizard towers, bell towers, observation towers, and even manor.

The color of the building is basically jade white, and it looks very clean and tidy.

The old baron and his family praised him and took a taxi to the city center.

The downtown area is much quieter. The people who live here are rich or noble, and all have high status. The old baron family holds their breath and does not dare to make any noise.

Soon they arrived at the towering city hall. The old baron and his family stepped into the black stone-paved city hall, found the administrator, and applied for a residence permit.

Outside the door of the city hall, there is a six-meter-high statue with a masculine appearance and a lifelike lord's cloak.

This is the statue of the lord of New Lassese City, Ivo Harricon!

The younger son came to the statue with reverence, silently admired it, and said in an admiring tone: "He established an impenetrable defense line in the war, single-handedly built the city of New Laces, and sent 20,000 troops to replenish the Ivy Legion. The establishment of the organization, killed eight groups of enemies who coveted the territory, brought the dawn of hope to the kingdom, and provided shelter for the refugees throughout Rasese...'Hurricane' Ivo Harricon, the first of Harricon The Lord, the Lord of New Lassese City, Bariax, and the Dean of Hurricane Academy. He is still an unfathomable strong man. He was just an ordinary student more than three years ago. It is an incredible achievement. I will be like him in the future... …”

At this time, a shout suddenly sounded next to him.

"Please pay a fine of one thousand benas."

The youngest son looked over in surprise and saw a guard staring at him. He pointed at himself and asked doubtfully: "Are you talking to me?"

"It's you. If you look at the statue of the lord for more than five minutes, you will be fined one thousand benans. Here, it is engraved on the base of the statue."

The younger son was a little confused. When he looked carefully, he saw that this rule was really engraved on the bottom of the statue. He said angrily: "Why?!"

Guard: "The lord doesn't like to be admired by others. If you don't pay the fine, you will be given a day trip to the dungeon. These are the lord's exact words. Do you pay or not?"

Youngest son: "..."

…

Time flies by, and a year and a half passes with the passing of spring and autumn.

In the past year and a half, the city of Harrican Defense Line was established. Ivo's reputation completely spread throughout the Northland. The city was named New Lasace City and became the safest shelter in the entire Lasaces. Countless people Outsiders came to live, including many nobles.

New Lasces City is the largest city in the Hokuriku, with a population of over one million. Not only that, it is also an indestructible logistics base that trains reserve soldiers and provides resources for the four major Lasces legions.

More than half a year ago, the Pegasus Legion fought a decisive battle with a Barria Legion. Both sides suffered losses and returned to the Harrican Defense Line to rest. In just half a month, the original establishment was replenished.

The Harrican Defense Line was a thorn in the side of the enemy, but it left them helpless. There were more than 100,000 troops in the Harrican Defense Line and countless fortifications. No single force could capture it.

In the past year and a half, there have been no less than a hundred assassinations against Ivo, all of which were lost in Ivo's hands. Assassination is the last resort, and the more frequent it is, the more helpless the enemy is.

Lassese's enemies finally recognized the reality. By the time the Harricon Line was built, the outcome of the war was already doomed.

Three months ago, the major forces officially began negotiations, and the war finally came to an end.

"Every time I see this statue, I always have the urge to smash it."

Ivo folded his hands and looked down at the statue below.

The top floor of the city hall is his residence.

Compared with a year and a half ago, Ivo's appearance has not changed much. The main thing is that his temperament has become more refined, exuding majesty from head to toe.

Today is the North Wind Month in the 339th year of the Glory Calendar. In three months, it will be my seventeenth birthday. It will be the seventeenth year since I came to this world.

"Ahem, Rael asked about the resource allocation plan for this quarter." Gavin said, standing behind him.

"There is no need to continue to provide resources to the legion," Ivo turned around and exhaled, "The war is about to end."

Gavin snorted and nodded. He thought for a while and asked cautiously: "Sir, will you go?"

Ivo looked at the envelope with the royal seal on the table and nodded, "I'll go take a look."

This letter is an invitation sent by Severn III.

Invite Ivo to participate in the final negotiations between Lasces, Barea and Renault as Lasces' envoy!

Signed "Marquis Ivo Harricon".
