In the final months of Ultron 1314, the name of this miraculous city frequently appeared in the mouths of bards across the continent.
A new city that rose in the southern wilderness of the mainland, both the process of its rise and the development after its rise, can be called a miracle.
Because I heard that there is the best land there. As long as any family goes to open up land, they can be allocated a fertile field of no less than ten acres, and only a quarter of the grain will be rented to the lord within three years, and the rest will be free of tax.
.
The desire for land and expansion of living space has led thousands of poor people to brave the cold winter to come to Phantom Knight City.
Only by arriving in the cold winter can we catch up with the sowing in early spring and wait for the best harvest.
During the time when Raven was missing, both Effiin and Karin were busy non-stop.
Since none of them truly had a vision of the overall situation and knew how to manage the military and political affairs, they were unknowingly distracted from the focus of governance by the busy internal affairs.
The seemingly powerful force made them ignore the enemy's greater strength.
Under the collusion of some conspirators, the orcs sent out troops at the end of January 1314. Seventy-six thousand orcs carried the will of the orc gods and dragged high-precision siege equipment secretly sent from the Pawen Kingdom to attack brazenly in the middle of winter.
.
Also marching together were the underground gray dwarf and kobold coalition forces. These two underground races suddenly dug hundreds of passages and entered the underground of Phantom Knight City.
If it weren't for the No. 9 floating island and Laila's early decision to establish the Kingdom of God on the ground, ordinary cities would have been destroyed by this kind of underground attack and breakthrough from the inside out.
Looking out from the city walls, there are burned-out newly built villages everywhere. The orcs passed by and even pulled out the wooden piles of the houses to use as siege tools.
The sudden war has left this newly beautiful city riddled with holes. The once wide streets and alleys in the city are now crowded with refugees who have fled from various pioneering villages, as well as many who have just arrived and have not even spent a minute and a half.
Acres of farmland were dragged into the war by the poor.
The newcomers cursed their misfortunes and the incompetence of the lords, but the pioneering legion soldiers who had experienced the previous battles had transformed from new recruits into capable veterans.
More importantly, since Laila established the kingdom of God on earth, all believers who sincerely believed in Laila became petitioners almost immediately after their death in battle and reappeared on the front line of defense.
Death in battle is not real death.
On the contrary, it is another kind of sublimation. This living example stimulates people's fanatical emotions. If Laila hadn't announced in time that only the most heroic warriors who killed the most enemies would be given priority to become petitioners or holy spirits, it would really be possible.
There will be some kind of extreme wave.
In addition, what gives the citizens the most confidence are the steel golems. Their huge bodies are almost two-thirds of the height of the city wall.
It can be said that the thirty steel golems are the real outer city wall.
They are almost omnipotent: splitting flying stones, sweeping away swarming orcs, and cutting down ladders. Although they are only silver-level golems, they are more difficult to deal with than gold-level masters. They have their backs against the city wall.
The fighting steel golem has almost no weaknesses.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the sky blue demon statue called Terry.
A huge body almost as high as the city wall, with an agility comparable to that of a human wanderer. The soldiers of the Pioneer Legion had personally seen the golem Terry easily climb up a section of the city wall that was almost breached, without stepping on any of his own people.
In this case, kill all the orcs that rush up like chopping melons and vegetables.
The battlefield is the most tempering place for people.
There are only 18 elite members of the hunting team left, but each of the remaining ones has advanced to the gold level. The leaders, Bai Mao and Catan, have soared in strength in continuous battles, reaching the peak of gold level.
At the end of February, Karin ordered the addition of 32 silver-level masters, and officially renamed the hunting team the Phantom Knights, defining it as an elite force directly under Raven. In Raven's absence, the second command was Karin, and the third
It's Laila.
The leader is... Bai Mao.
Although a certain half-bear is a bit funny, he is the best at fighting, has the most senior qualifications, and is also the most loyal. No one should be chosen over him.
However, as the war entered March 1314, the situation deteriorated further.
Speaking of which, Effiin is too soft-hearted. Under the arrangement of West, the Brain of God, the Murder Church neglected its duties for the first time and kidnapped the old King of Corianpas. Under the control of [Human Control Technique] and other brainwashing spells,
The old King of Corianpas stood up publicly and said that Effie's throne was illegal because of her rebellion.
Then, headed by the Kingdom of Pavon, the four surrounding kingdoms submitted letters of credence to Effiin, demanding that Effiin abdicate and relinquish the throne to the old king controlled by Pavon, otherwise a 'just war' would be launched.
In fact, less than twenty-four hours after the submission of credentials, the five-nation coalition forces, which had not yet received any reply from Effiin, broke into the border of Corienpas from five directions.
All of a sudden, the whole line was in emergency.
This time, even if the Red Knight can fight again, they can only choose to defend the key points of Colombes.
March 10th. The situation worsened. The Mosha Empire recalled the infantry regiment sent to Revan, not only the Mosha royal family, but also Darth Nir's people.
As if this was a signal, a large number of foreign refugees from all directions and soldiers who participated in the pioneering legion began to flee. Those who remained in the pioneering legion were basically Corianpas.
On March 12, Karin held an emergency meeting.
Effiin gritted her teeth. Her position was the most embarrassing. Originally, she was forced to take the position by Raven, but she had always done a good job for Corian Pais. Even now, being criticized by thousands of people,
She is still working tirelessly to unite every ounce of power that can be united.
Efein spoke first: "I don't want to be discouraged, but the situation is really bad. If we can't find reinforcements, we will be finished within a month."
"Maybe it won't take a month, I can only last half a month."
It was Laila who spoke, and everyone was speechless and silent when they saw her image. A newly established Kingdom of God would certainly not have any savings. Laila’s Kingdom of God was opened at the worst possible moment. In order to encourage everyone
With the courage to fight, as long as he is a devout believer, Laila will basically be accepted into the Kingdom of God. However, this has resulted in the power of faith in the Kingdom of God being unable to make ends meet.
In order to save her divine power, Laila turned back into the 13-year-old Lolita with a childlike face and giant meow.
The red knight spoke: "Thanks to Raven's generous gifts after the successful development of the country, most of the people in Corianpas firmly supported Queen Effiin. However, because of their full support for the development, the remaining grain in the country was basically emptied. Unfortunately,
Corianpas is just a kingdom. The population base is too low. Even if it enters a state of all-out war, I estimate that it will only support it for a month at most."
Shuni gently poked her temple with her finger and said concisely: "I can still send 800 church troops. But the average is only Silver level. You know, the teachings of the Church of Love and Goodness do not allow me to have too many troops.
.”
Everyone was sighing, and Shuni was trying her best.
But 800 people are still not enough.
The situation in front of me is a bottomless pit. There are obviously the orc gods, the human god of war Karigos, the god of murder Cyric, the gray dwarf god Ladugue, the kobold god Kurtumak, these Raven's
The enemies have all united. While Raven is away, they must use their mortal power to defeat Lyra and the Red Knight first.
It would be even better if we could successfully destroy Leila's Kingdom of God again.
This is a huge web.
Everyone knows that this deadly web is tightening step by step.
Karin asked: "What did the paladin say?"
Effiin shook his head: "This is a secular war, and the paladin only kills evil."
Karin asked again: "Where is the dwarf?"
"Shrinked a long time ago!" the red knight cursed.
Laila's nose was red: "Suddenly I feel that I am a failure as a god. I have been around for two or three thousand years and I still don't have a good reputation with Raven..."
Everyone was speechless for a while, thinking secretly: You are just a nerd...
Karin pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something.
The red knight said directly: "Just say what you want to say."
"I asked Anzu to bring a guy in. Please judge for yourself what she says."
Two minutes later, when she came in, the three goddesses were excited at the same time.
"Karin. You actually colluded with the devil!?"
Yes! What came in was a pleasure demon! Of course she was the advanced Melissa.
"Dear gods, good day."
"Go away! There is no place for the devil here!" The red knight was quite angry.
Even Shuni, who had a good temper, turned cold and said: "We have no interest in making a deal with the devil."
"This is not a deal. This is just an unconditional dedication." Melissa didn't say much and took out a few gorgeous soul crystals.
"This is... the soul of a legendary strongman?" Laila, who was more familiar with the golem, said.
"Unconditional devotion? I don't think a devil has such good intentions." The red knight sneered.
"If I am a pleasure demon loyal to the devil king, of course you will not worry. I unilaterally swear in the name of the River Styx that my body and soul will be loyal to the slave of Master Raven*Yunfield!"
Stygian Oath!
Of course the three goddesses knew what the Styx Oath was, and suddenly felt a little relieved.
"I wonder if the goddesses still recognize that these three souls are the souls of the three legendary strong men of the kobolds who conquered the kobold kingdom?"
This time, the three goddesses completely believed it.
Raven is an absolute pragmatist. As long as it can be used. Whether it is Bane, the god of tyranny, or Tyr, the god of justice, there is nothing that Raven dare not do. At that time, Raven's coming of age ceremony, some people even speculated whether it would be
Even Bane sent an avatar. If he came, it would be interesting.
Melissa respectfully presented another pile of soul crystals: "This is a silver-level one. I think it will be useful if Laila goes to the gods."
"Okay! Go down!" Effiin ordered.
Melissa backed away.
"How?" Karin asked.
"We can obtain three additional legendary mithril golems and forty steel golems within three days." Laila replied.
All participants breathed a sigh of relief.
It should last another month.
But we still need Raven to come back, otherwise, no one can figure out how to make a comeback in this adversity...
Staring out the window, Laila had tears in her eyes: "Asshole! Why don't you come back dead!" (To be continued.)
ps: There will be 2 more updates tomorrow... I'm just saying that this is probably the case. I don't know how the network is at the hot spring hotel. I will definitely update more...
