Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

town Hall.

"Lord Lauren, the announcement has been posted, and the residents have responded well to it.

But our biggest problem right now is underpopulation.”

Ariel had a serious expression on her face.

There is a long distance between Huiyue City and the northern border.

Ordinary residents will hardly go deep into the endless wasteland full of dangers.

It is almost impossible to simply attract the inflow of external population, and it is even extremely difficult to obtain population by normal methods.

But if this problem is not resolved, it will be difficult for Huiyue City to develop.

This is a difficult contradiction to reconcile.

Lauren frowned slightly.

As the bloody day passed, he could clearly sense that the problem of population shortage was imminent.

People are needed to make weapons, people are needed to build city walls, people are needed to build arrow towers, and even people are needed to dig latrines.

In particular, he also wants to carry out industrialization. As the most important tool and productivity, people are absolutely indispensable.

After pondering for a moment, he said slowly.

"This matter has to be resolved.

Ariel, go down immediately to make arrangements, I'm going to Decker City. "

The lack of population has greatly restricted the development of Huiyue City.

At present, the fastest way to replenish the population is to buy slaves or attract refugees.

refugee……

After repeating the level of whispering in his mouth, Lauren was thoughtful.

When he was at the slave market in Decker City, he once told the chairman of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce that he wanted to use land distribution and tax exemption policies to attract refugees who had fallen to Decker City.

But after gaining an in-depth understanding of the rules of this world, he has changed this slightly naive idea at this time.

It is impossible to disperse the land, but it is necessary to have talents.

The corners of Lauren's mouth curled up slightly.

He is the Grand Duke of Demons, not a good person.

As the leader of the evil camp, he hasn't done anything worthy of his status yet.

Following the rules is what the good camp should do.

Seeing the curvature of the boy's mouth in front of her, Ariel's heart skipped a beat.

His face flushed a little, and he stammered.

"Lord Lauren, that lizardman..."

Lauren's eyes narrowed.

After the bloody day, the threat of the lizardmen became more and more prominent, and it was even time to deal with it.

In order to prevent the lizardmen from attacking,

In the past few days, he had the kobolds set up a large number of secret sentries in the ten-kilometer area of ​​Huiyue City.

According to the original plan, he should lead the army to attack at this moment to eliminate the threat of the lizardmen directly!

However, the military supplies of Glorious Moon City had been exhausted during the bloody day.

Not only was the inventory of the Gale Spear cleared, but even the armor of the barbarians was shattered on a large scale, and they had to be replenished before they could fight again.

The lack of weapons and equipment allowed him to suppress his attack plan against the lizardmen.

"The whole city has stepped up vigilance, and the territory has suspended sending troops to go hunting."

"When I return, it will be the day when Huiyue's army crushes the lizardmen."

"I said.

After the bloody day.

I will let them

Not a blade of grass grows. "

The tone is flat, but there is arrogance in the eyes that lead the yellow on the left, Qingcang on the right, and Qianqi rolls Hiraoka.

This is the declaration of war on the Lizardmen by the ruler of the City of Glorious Moon!

Ariel looked at the arrogant and handsome young man in front of her with bright eyes.

There was a bit of admiration on his face.

"Yes, Lord Laurent! I will definitely defend the City of Bright Moon"

Keep safe, our city.

After Lauren made a decision, Ariel immediately went down to make arrangements.

This time, Loren didn't mobilize many people when he went to Decker City, and only asked Fianna to follow.

The barbarian chief Yas led the barbarian army to defend, while the wolf spear throwers and angry bear cavalry stayed behind.

The silver-level legion of Huiyue City has already taken shape. Although the number is small, as long as the enemy's attack power is not too exaggerated, it is absolutely as stable as Mount Tai.

This elite ace that Lauren personally created has already begun to take shape.

That afternoon, after Luo Lun arranged the work in the City of Luminous Moon, he didn't waste any time.

Take Fianna and ride the white bear towards Decker City.

Fianna originally planned to follow on horseback, but in order to save time, Lauren asked the other party to ride the white bear with him.

As a high-level silver beast, the stamina and running speed of the white bear are far beyond that of ordinary horses.

This platinum strongman who had a high reputation in the army and never flinched in battle, at this moment appeared shy like never before.

In the end, he blushed and stood in front of the white bear for a long time without moving.

Lauren couldn't laugh or cry, and immediately brought the girl over to the white bear extremely forcefully.

But the girl seemed to touch a poisonous scorpion, and she sat behind the white bear and turned away from him...

In such an interesting state, the two galloped to Decker City.

On the dry and cracked land of the endless wasteland, a giant bear with a head and shoulder height of 2 meters 2 and a weight of three tons was running fast.

Through bushes, through meadows, across streams

——

——

11 am on May 3rd.

Decker City.

On the 40-meter-high city wall, the soldiers who guarded the city from afar were suddenly a little stunned.

At the end of the line of sight, a giant white bear is running fast from the center of the road, and the pedestrians around are full of fear and avoid it.

More importantly, there was a person sitting on top of that ferocious monster!

"Then, isn't that a berserk brown bear?? How can this kind of monster with demonic blood flow in its body be tamed?!"

The soldier's exclamation attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and they all looked at the galloping giant bear.

"Is the raging brown bear really tamed? Don't those two have been held hostage by monsters and had to sit behind them"

"Fart, are Warcraft so stupid?!"

"Quickly, send out a signal to let the Griffon Legion stop that raging brown bear!"

The soldier who first spotted the giant bear approaching immediately gave an order.

The orderly next to him immediately took out the horn bent at his waist.

woo woo~

A slightly dull sound passed through the city wall and spread towards the surroundings. This was the sound of the horn specially summoning the Griffin Knight.

As the largest city in the northern border, it has encountered too many crises and attitudes. In this crisis-ridden world, any danger must be taken seriously.

A moment later, behind the tall and sturdy taupe city wall.

Huh~huh~huh~

The sound of flapping wings came to the ears.

The soldiers on the city wall felt a shadow over their heads, and it was cool after the sun was blocked.

look up.

I saw a mighty and handsome griffin soaring.

The griffin is the symbol of Decker City.

The first city lord established this magnificent city because of the allegiance of the Griffin Legion.

These famous monsters have a pair of eagle wings with a wingspan of ten meters.

The sharp beak and hook are sharp, and with the cooperation of powerful strength, they can pierce through the thick shield of a warrior.

The body is that of a lion, strong and tall, and its muscles are like pouring molten iron, full of explosive power.

The sharp claws on the limbs are like daggers, shining with a cold light, no one dares to doubt how terrifying their attack power is.

The high-grade armor worn by the griffin reflected bursts of dazzling light under the sunlight, protecting most of its body.

Strong bows and crossbows are also difficult to cause damage to them.

Above this mighty and majestic monster, a griffin knight was sitting with an empty cavalry gun.

His chest was straight, and his eyes looked straight ahead through the armor covering his face. The golden armor entrusted him with great majesty.

huh~

The griffin flapped its wings and glides down over the city wall.

Such a huge creature flew overhead, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation from the surrounding crowd.

Under everyone's gaze, the white bear in the distance rushed to the entrance of the city wall.

The griffin cavalry hovered in mid-air, only seven or eight meters above the ground, looking down at the white bear.

"Stop coming, Decker City prohibits any uncontrolled monsters from entering!"

After the voice fell, the gold-level aura gushed out from his body, which immediately caused commotion in the surrounding crowd.

Unexpectedly, the purpose of the griffin's dispatch was to intercept the white bear.

But soon someone recognized it. This white bear is an invincible violent brown bear that claims to have the blood of demons flowing in its body.

"Hey, that's a rampaging brown bear?? Where's the animal trainer? Who told me yesterday that a rampaging brown bear can't be conquered?"

"What a handsome boy, Goddess, his appearance can almost compare to mine!"

"Get out of the way, if this guy loses control, it's all over, it's a violent brown bear"

When the crowd is discussing.

Looking at the extremely mighty and handsome griffin cavalry in front of him, Lauren's eyes flashed with emotion.

This is the foundation of Decker City.

Gryphon Rider, Gold Class.

What's even more exaggerated is that the Griffin Legion in Decker City are all gold-level combat power!

It has stood for three hundred years and has survived thousands of days of blood without being destroyed.

Even if the power of the largest city in the north is only revealed at the tip of the iceberg, it is enough to amaze people.

This is a real behemoth.

"Now, leave that raging brown bear!"

There was no emotion in the cold tone, and even through the armor, one could feel the pride from the heart of the other party.

In this city, no one dares to disobey the orders of the Decker City Griffin Legion!

But at the moment when Griffin Knight's words fell.

Swipe~ An extremely frightening force gushes out.

Endless coercion pressed down on the Griffin Knight's heart like a heavy mountain.

The platinum blood power on Fianna's body seemed to be burning with flames, and the frightening aura made the faces of the surrounding people change drastically.

"Platinum level powerhouse?!"

The Griffin Knight stared at Fianna with suspicion in his heart.

This momentum is only half weaker than the commander of the Griffon Legion!

Your lord Commander is a Platinum senior, and you are only one step away from being extraordinary.

Who is this Platinum Rank powerhouse who suddenly appeared? Why have you never seen it?

Although the pressure he was facing increased sharply, the Griffin Knight did not take half a step back, instead his tone became more serious.

"Platinum powerhouse, according to the city defense laws of Decker City, any monsters that are not under control are never allowed to enter the city when safety cannot be guaranteed.

Do you want to go to war with Decker City? "

Although the platinum powerhouse is powerful, Decker City stands behind him. With the background of this city, he is not afraid of anyone.

The crowd watching the excitement became more and more excited, even looking forward to the direct fight between the two sides.

But at this moment, under the attention of everyone, the boy driving the white bear slowly took out a coat of arms from his arms and put it on his chest.

With this action, the air knight riding the griffin suddenly froze, with a bit of shock in his eyes.

He recognized the noble coat of arms! !

When he was studying in the noble elders' house in Decker City, he once memorized a book of noble coats of arms.

Turning to the first page, the top one is the golden badge of the Silver Moon King's royal family, and on the next line of the royal badge, the first one is the coat of arms worn by the boy on his chest.

A Bauhinia flower in full bloom.

The legendary Bauhinia family.

And the platinum-ranked powerhouse behind him must be the opponent's guardian.

No wonder he can conquer the legendary unconquerable violent brown bear, the descendant of the Bauhinia family, it is not surprising that he can do anything

"Dear Your Excellency, according to the city defense regulations of Decker City, uncontrolled monsters cannot enter the city.

But in your capacity, there are additional perks.

On behalf of the Griffon Legion, I welcome you. "

After the words fell, the golden knight didn't stop at all, grabbed the reins on the back of the griffin, flapped his wings, and flew back to the griffin fortress behind the city wall.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar.

That's the gold-ranked air cavalry of the Griffin Legion. After the opponent wears a coat of arms, his attitude becomes so humble.

What is the background of that young man? !

Under the shocking eyes of the crowd, the boy on the white bear's back didn't show any fluctuations in expression, driving the giant bear to step slowly into the towering city gate.

Soon, what happened at the gate of the city was reported to the desks of the nobles in Decker City, which immediately aroused the curiosity of many people.

Soon, the identity of the boy riding a bear was confirmed.

The descendant of the Bauhinia family, the genius who beat the gold-ranked barbarian chief with a silver body in the slave market, returned again.

Judging by his posture, he must have survived this bloody day safely.

Not long after the news spread, an invitation was sent from the Bucks Marquis Manor to the headquarters of the Bauhinia Merchants Union.

And the one who delivered the invitation was the only heir of the Marquess de Stag

——

——

In the twelfth block, a giant bear with a tyrannical aura stopped at the main entrance of a large manor under the shocking gazes of passers-by.

With a shoulder height of 2.2 meters and a weight of more than three tons, the behemoth has great visual impact.

Ordinary people stand in front of the giant bear as thin as a dwarf.

The guards standing guard at the gate were terrified when they saw the giant beast. They thought someone was messing things up, and they yelled and prepared to shake people.

Just as the atmosphere was tense and solidified, a thin figure stepped out of the main entrance.

The other party was taken aback when he saw the boy who turned over from the white bear, and then his face was full of surprise.

He hurriedly ran to the other party's side, knelt down on one knee, and spoke in an extremely excited tone.

"Master Lauren, Anor welcomes you back! May the glory of the goddess surround you forever."

Anol looked at the more aggressive figure, and his eyes turned red with excitement.

After Luo Lunli returned to Huiyue City, he was not only responsible for the establishment of the Bauhinia Merchant Alliance, but also managed the intelligence department that Luo Lun asked him to develop—Weeds.

This is unimaginable to outsiders for the little thief who has never been in control of the overall situation before.

At this moment, Lauren returned, and the uneasiness and heavy pressure in his heart were released at this moment.

After waiting for him, he saw the cold figure and hurriedly saluted again.

"Master Fianna, good day"

Fianna with a flat face nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Lauren looked at Arnold, who had become more calm in front of him, and his mood improved a lot.

He still has some affection for the first subordinate he subdued in this world.

"Let's go in and talk."

"Yes, yes, my lord, please"

Arnold quickly moved out of his body and stretched out his hand to signal the front.

Lauren was also polite, and after ordering the white bear to play in the yard not to hurt others, he stepped in.

The manor of the Bauhinia Business Alliance was purchased jointly by five other chambers of commerce that joined the business alliance.

Because the Twelfth Street District is not an aristocratic neighborhood, the cost is only more than two million yuan.

The manor is extremely spacious, twice the size of his manor in Lunar City.

The front and rear gardens are complete, and there is no shortage of stables, dungeons, and wells. There are five three-story buildings in the middle, which can accommodate hundreds of people to live and work.

At present, only a part of the members of the weeds live in one building in this manor, and the other buildings are still empty.

After a while.

The middle of the five houses in the manor, the lobby on the first floor.

Lauren sat at the head of the long log-colored table, and straightened his body after enjoying the tea brought by the servants.

Looking at Arnold next to him with sharp eyes, he went straight to the point without a word of nonsense.

"Arnold, the territory has survived this bloody day, and the City of Glorious Moon is about to enter a stage of rapid development.

There are three main purposes for returning to Decker City this time.

First, buy slaves and at the same time obtain a large number of people to meet the development needs of the city of Huiyue.

Second, purchase materials, obtain military and civilian supplies such as armor, ore, food and cloth, and provide guarantees for development.

Third, to officially launch the Bauhinia Business Alliance, I will inject a sum of funds to develop the business alliance, so that it will continue to provide funds for the city of Huiyue in the future. "

Huiyue City has won precious time for development, and he must try his best to raise the strength of Huiyue City to a higher level before the next bloody day arrives.

Although the bloody polluter was repulsed once, the threat will not disappear. The next time they make a comeback, the battle will inevitably be even more tragic.

And aside from the second bloody day that won't come until the end of the month, the threat of the lizardmen is imminent.

However, although the crisis is approaching, at this time, Lauren has found a way to deal with it.

Especially the newly awakened S+ level talent - Demon Transformation, made him even more confident.

This terrifying talent that can forcibly transform other lives into demons is so powerful that it is unimaginable.

As long as it is used well, Lauren is sure that in a very short period of time, the strength of Huiyue City can be further improved.

So his first stop in Decker City will be the slave market.

For outsiders, this place is purely a place to buy and sell slaves, but for him who has awakened the talent of demon transformation.

Here is an unimaginable treasure trove.

Orcs, Orcs, Lizardmen, Dungeons, Humans, Murlocs

Those who can submit, those who cannot, those who are powerful, special, terrifying, dark, everything, may become his subordinates.

Become a demon.
