Chapter 207: Arrangement (Part 1)
"What? A magic disaster broke out in Baron Perzent's territory? And Baron Perzent escaped and ran away because he was the front line lord. His own and his family were all executed in the name of human traitors and blasphemers?" Baron Rocas was the first in this area to receive this news.
After letting the servant go down, he walked back and forth in the room, his expression on his face changed.
"Demon disaster, I didn't expect that the Demon disaster really came. Fortunately, I harvested the crops in advance... The Demon disaster came, and it was hard for me to protect myself. What should I do? There is a wall outside the town of Rika. It seems that they only need to be martial law. As for my castle, the castle is so strong, I don't believe that I can't stop a few monsters... By the way, Alini..."
"Come." Baron Rocas suddenly walked to the door, opened the door, and shouted outside.
"Sir, what are your instructions?" A servant hurried in and bowed to him.
"Go to the temple and say..." Baron Rocas wanted to say something, but then hesitated, and hesitated for a while. He walked back to the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote in a blank piece of paper.
What exactly Baron Rocas was going to do? The servant naturally didn't dare to ask, but just stood there waiting.
After a while, Baron Rocas finally finished writing.
"Leave this to the second lady." After putting the letter on, Baron Rocas handed it to the servant and ordered it.
"Yes." The servant hurriedly took the order and left.
In the Temple of the Goddess of Earth, after receiving this letter, Elini just looked at it and said to the person who brought the letter, "Please help me convey it to my father, and I said that as the priest of the temple, I will not leave the temple at this time."
If Baron Rocas saw the feeling of alienation in his expression, he would definitely regret it. It would be so stupid to have a falling out with his daughter due to family interests and other reasons. Because of this, the deep affection between the father and daughter has gradually decreased, and more of it is the estrangement between the two.
The servant didn't know what was written in Baron Rocas's letter, but from the second lady's words, he probably guessed that there must be some conflict between the father and daughter. As a servant, he naturally did not dare to mix these things up, so he had to nod timidly and then, with the second lady's words, he returned to Baron Rocas.
"What? This girl!" After receiving such a reply, Baron Rocas was naturally angry. In front of the servant, he tightened his face and did not show it. When he was alone in the study, he suddenly burst out.
With a sweep of his hand, he even swept the books and accounts on the table to the ground.
In fact, he was kind-hearted and wanted his daughter to come back. In this solid castle, there was food and drink and someone to protect him. He didn't have to be as frightened as those civilians, but in the end, the girl had her wings hard and didn't even listen to his words.
Baron Rocas was angry, but he was more disappointed. Since the father and daughter had a conflict last time, he really could never go back to the past. This sense of powerlessness occasionally made him reflect on whether he had done something wrong.
"Forget it, let her go." He sighed and looked into the distance, and sighed: "Respond to the church first and transfer all the young and old to the city!"
At the same time, Baron Galle also received the news that the devil disaster began at this time. Soon, he learned about the specific situation. A sense of fear instantly spread in his heart.
"Hurry up! Ask people to martial law quickly! Gather all the soldiers and make sure not to let monsters enter my territory!" He ordered to his subordinates.
Seeing that teams of soldiers protected the castle very comprehensively, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he thought about how to protect other areas of the territory from being occupied by monsters.
In a hurry, he summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter, and then made some arrangements in the territory.
However, because there are no demons in his territory yet, at least for now, he is not the lord of the front line of territory. Therefore, he still has a certain choice in terms of advance and retreat. At least, at this time, it is completely possible to transfer his family to a safe place without being judged by the church.
Whenever I think of this, the young baron will be secretly grateful.
At the same time, within the territory of Tatshaw.
"What? Something happened to Baron Perzent's territory?" When he received the news, Romon was discussing things with Nick and Fafell, and then he saw an adventurer running in and telling them the news. Upon hearing the news, the three of them stood up almost at the same time, and their faces changed drastically.
"What's the situation? Don't worry, tell me in detail." Romon said.
"Yes." The adventurer in charge of collecting information took the water handed over by Fafell, took a few sips, and then said: "Sir, that's right. We were patrolling the city just now, and we saw many people running over the roadside, all with their children. We didn't understand what happened, so we sent me and a few others to check it out. After asking, we found out that these people were from the area around Baron Perzent's territory..."
Then he told Romon and the other two truthfully what he heard.
According to those people, yesterday thousands of demons suddenly appeared in the Baron Pezent's territory, and they ate when they see it. Because there is no barrier of the wall, Baron Pezent's territory is almost a dead land. Except for the Baron's castle, which has defensive measures and has not been captured by monsters, almost everything in his territory has been destroyed.
The Baron, at the first moment of the outbreak of the devil, planned to escape with his property. As a result, he was arrested by the knights of the Lord of the Glory Church who came to the city. He heard that he was taken to the square in the city and burned his whole family to death in public, even his one-year-old grandson was no exception.
The main roads leading to Baron Perzent's territory have been controlled. These fleeing people are some wealthy and free people in the nearby territory. Because of their free identity, they can have a temporary place to settle in other places, so they all take property toward the direction of the small town.
"So, is it really here?" Waving the adventurer, Romon, Nick, and Fafell looked at each other, with a nervous look on their faces.
"Romon, according to this situation, the magic disaster should have erupted." Nick stared at Romon's face, with obvious glory in his tone: "Fortunately we harvested the crops earlier. If we were to follow the habits of previous years, the crops would have been harvested for a few days. However, the outbreak of the magic disaster has no time to do this for us. It seems that your decision was right at that time."
As the saying goes, if you have food in your stomach, you are not panicked. With food in the warehouse, people can safely guard the high walls and confront those monsters.
However, after hearing the adventurer's story, Fafeer and Romon were alert to what would happen next.
"Romon, I think it's a bit too negative for us to guard the village like this. In my opinion, it's better to take the initiative to attack and give them a head-on blow when they arrive. What do you think?" Fafell suggested.
Romon also agreed to do so, so next, Romon, as the lord, formally mobilized the territory of Tetasha. First, he summoned all the people in the village to a clearing.
Romon stood on a high ground in the clearing ground and gave them a speech similar to that of pre-war mobilization. He did not talk much about the history of the devil, but he told them about what happened in the territory of Baron Pezent.
In fact, without saying that, many people learned about these things through the narratives of those adventurers. Seeing that Romon is now looking like a great enemy in the future, their hearts became more and more nervous.
"...Listen, all the old and young women, count them immediately. I think tomorrow, the church's knights will come to pick them up. Remember, men over fifteen years old are not allowed to leave, otherwise, the church's knights will burn you on the pillar without hesitation, and your family will deprive you of the opportunity to go to the city!"
However, after telling this, Romon pointed out his strength in the territory.
"...Listen, now there is no choice but to work together to overcome this difficulty. Our territory has city walls and enough food. As long as everyone strives together, they can overcome this difficulty..."
Hearing this, everyone's enthusiasm was immediately mobilized. Then, Romon asked Fafeer to come forward and prepare and inspect the defenses in the village again.
At the same time, he also brought people back to the edge forest and placed them there. After all, he rushed back to prepare for this terrifying demon disaster.
"What should we do next?" This time, Sukal and scholar Lu Lun, several people sat together and discussed the matter together.
In front of them, there was a map of the Tetashau territory and surrounding territories. Several people sat around and looked around. Romon looked for a while and said, "According to the distribution of the traces of the magic disaster, there were almost all areas of magic disasters. Our territory was surrounded at the innermost point and would likely be hit many times. In my opinion, starting from the village, defense lines were laid out layer by layer. The first level of the position was built at the gap entrance of the mining area, and they were given an active attack. Fafer, you have the same view, right?"
Fafell nodded: "Yes, that's what I think."
"Nick, Sukal, where are you?" Romon looked at the other people again, and they all agreed.
"I also agree with this view. One more protection means one more safety." Scholar Lu Lun also agreed.
