Magic Industrial Age

In reality, the situation in Flower Collar is truly not good.

Lionheart Castle, as the core of the Raymond family, naturally holds more secrets than just the treasure trove in the underground world.

It's also the place where the Raymond family cultivates talents and knights.

The destruction of that place, the demise of two fourth-tier Calamity experts, almost represents the loss of nearly 40% of the entire territory's combat power!

Even if the remaining combat power is preserved intact, they no longer have the strength to overawe other marquises.

At most, at most, they can only break even!

If they really fight on both the eastern and western fronts, the pressure will be overwhelming!

Fortunately, when Imperial Ambassador Sir Robin Water visited, an idea had already taken shape in his mind.

Along with Loya's words, everyone's attention turned to him, waiting for his next words.

Only Hick Cruz, who is in charge of magic-powered machinery, had a strange expression.

Because, compared to 'displaced warfare', he had also heard of the term 'displaced trade'.

It seems that this Earl really likes to use 'displacement' to achieve his goals.

This was the thought that emerged in Hick's mind, but before it could dissipate, it was interrupted by Loya's words.

"The current situation is that we are not allowed to fight both sides at the same time, so we must make a choice.

As for me, I don't want to give up either."

"Therefore, we must buy enough time by shrinking the defensive line."

"Ms. Palacios, I want to know, if you rush back, can the adjustment of the communication magic array be handed over to others?"

"For example, Lilia, or other mages?"

Ms. Palacios frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Lilia can't do it. Her understanding of magic is all focused on magic-powered machinery, and her own foundation is too poor.

However, if you simply want to find a mage to cooperate with that inner disciple mage to activate the communication magic array, I can introduce one to you."

"One of my students, a second-tier LV10 mage, has a deep understanding of magic. If I explain it to him clearly, he should be able to handle it."

Loya nodded slightly and asked, "Where is he now?"

"In my mage tower. According to the time, if I go back and he comes over, he should be able to make it in time."

Loya seemed to have thought of something and asked again, "Ms. Palacios, are there any other mages being trained in your mage tower?"

"Of course, one of the responsibilities of the mage tower is to cultivate new blood. This is the default rule."

Loya's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Then how many mages can you spare now?

I mean, even mage apprentices who have just started meditating and accumulated some magic power count!"

"In that case, there are still hundreds of them!"

"Except for the ones you need, send them all to me. I have a use for them!"

"Okay!"

Ms. Palacios agreed very readily. Loya then said, "With you guarding the mage tower, Siren Harbor will be safe.

Grand Knight Commander Saul can move. Tell him to lead his knights to attack and sweep the coastline over and over again.

If any pirates land, leave none alive and try to ensure the safety of the surrounding villages and towns as much as possible."

Alfonso opened his mouth: "But if that's the case, the strength at sea will not be enough?"

"If it's not enough, just shrink directly. Don't go out to sea if you can! We won't pay those fishermen and sailors, but we'll open the granary and give them food.

Also, tell them that this is only temporary!"

"Benefits are just benefits. It doesn't matter if we lose some, but as long as people are alive, there are unlimited possibilities!"

"Take the coastline as the boundary. In the short term, we must ensure safety on land, and we will ignore the sea for now.

Besides, don't worry, some people will be more anxious than us if the sea transport is really cut off."

"Once we solve the Wick family, we will have the spare strength to find trouble with those pirates."

Ms. Palacios nodded slightly: "If that's the case, then I'll go now?"

"Sorry to trouble you, Ms. Palacios!"

"This is what I should do!"

Ms. Palacios nodded, immediately turned around, and left the command room.

With Loya's perception, he could still detect a wave of magic power coming from the flying magic carpet carrying the fourth-tier mage into the sky.

Loya retracted his gaze and fixed his eyes on Vincent Ackerman again, asking, "If I remember correctly, Frostmoon Canyon is where you are stationed?"

Vincent Ackerman replied with some shame: "Yes!"

"Then you lead your men, three horses per person, and rush to Frostmoon Canyon as quickly as possible!"

"I only have one request, no matter what, the outposts there must not be lost."

"In this battle, even if we have to fight, we have to fight in the Wick family's territory. I don't believe that he won't feel bad when his territory is destroyed."

"Yes!"

After saying that, he immediately turned and left. The friction of armor and rapid footsteps echoed each other, and in the distance, there was also the neighing of horses.

Loya looked at Alfonso Zeke again and said, "Your task is to mobilize knights and knight apprentices, gather them into a large army, and set off for Frostsnow Canyon."

"Yes, sir!"

"Butler Hoover?"

"Here!"

"You hand over the affairs of Lionheart Manor to others first, and all the statistics and preparation of logistical materials will be handed over to you."

"Yes, Earl!"

Finally, Loya looked at Sir Hick Cruz, who had been enduring for a long time.

Seeing that Loya finally turned his attention to him, he couldn't help but say, "Earl, with the outbreak of the war, personnel will be transferred frequently.

What about the magic-powered machinery?"

"I have already discussed it with the Imperial Ambassador. We will build what needs to be built and produce what needs to be produced, without delay!"

"But, but..."

"There's no 'but'. I will block all wars outside the territory.

Therefore, this battle has nothing to do with you!"

"Yes!"

With a series of orders issued, the tone for this battle has been set.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, all the vassals and knights of the entire Flower Collar have been mobilized.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Sometimes, right and wrong need to be distinguished afterward, and success and failure are just the results.

In the process, obvious directions and goals are often more important.

Until everyone moved, only four people were left in the command room.

Iron Knight Phil Zeke, Flame Swordsman Otto, and Oliveira.

The three looked at each other, and Loya said quietly, "Actually, I am not afraid of these enemies on the surface."

"Fighting with them is, in the end, a real fight.

On the battlefield, victory or defeat depends on our own abilities!"

"However, if we are fighting in the front and someone is sabotaging in the back, the threat it poses will be too great."

Oliveira's eyes narrowed and said, "Are you talking about Virgil Berry?"

Loya looked up slightly, looked at the Iron Knight and Flame Swordsman, and asked, "Our enemies are not only pirates and the Wick family, but also this regional bishop!"

"If, I say if, if we are fighting hard in the front, and this person is fanning the flames in the back and inciting rebellion, what do you think will happen?"

The Flame Swordsman and the Iron Knight looked at each other, and Otto asked, "Does he have the guts?"

"What if he participated in the previous events?"

With just one sentence, the faces of the two changed. The Iron Knight's face was ugly and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"No, but is evidence needed?"

"This person perfectly avoided the time period when the castle was destroyed before.

At this time, he returned at the point when the pirates and the Wick family launched their attacks. Don't you think there is a problem?"

"Even if there is no problem, you two, I dare not gamble!"

Yes, in this situation, who dares to gamble?

Otto opened his mouth: "Earl, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, to nip all dangers in the bud!"

Loya looked up slightly and said, "You two, before the war, let's take a trip first, shall we?"

The Iron Knight asked, "Aren't you afraid of the Sun God Church questioning you?"

"If we can't get through the current hurdle, there will be no future, so why should I care about the church's questioning?!"

"Moreover, if he dies outside the city, under a surprise attack by certain people, what does it have to do with us?

We are all still in the army, going to fight the Wick family to the death, so naturally it couldn't have been us!"

Otto nodded slightly: "That makes sense too!"

The Iron Knight laughed and said, "The Earl is not afraid, so naturally we don't care."

"Now, I just don't know how strong this Bishop Virgil Berry is?"

As Loya said this, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Even if he is extraordinary, he is just a dish in front of a Calamity expert.

However, before that, there are still some tumors that must be cleared!"

"Tumors?"

This word aroused the curiosity of the three, but before they could ask, there was a knock on the door!

Knock, knock, knock!

The knocking sound was very unique, and the rhythm seemed to be deliberately controlled, three long and one short.

Loya opened his mouth: "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and Ang walked in, his footsteps silent, but his speed was extremely fast.

He arrived in front of Loya, bowed slightly, looked at each other, and nodded slowly.

Obviously, considering the people present, he did not speak, but the meaning that needed to be expressed had already been expressed.

Loya asked, "That person, is he really taking action?"

"The news just came that he has taken some people into the city!"

Loya's expression was ferocious for a moment, then returned to normal: "Those who seek death will eventually die!"

At this moment, Flame Swordsman Otto finally couldn't help it, and he said, "Earl, who are you talking about?"

"Who?"

"Of course, it's Earl Carl's most trusted butler, the ungrateful Sir Regan Durant!"

Loya looked up and said, "You two, follow me, I will take you to see the true face of this traitor!"

The second update is here, don't wait for the third update, it will be back in the second half of the night.
