The defense plan that Lant mentioned during lunch made Lili a little uneasy. The girls were discussing in private whether Lant, who had become an earl and a high-level mage, only needed to sit in Yeqi City, or at the worst, be on the front line. Just command the battle from the rear. Unexpectedly, Lant decided to lead his troops directly out of the plain area. Such pure barbarian behavior would only completely anger the orc tribe and attract a greater attack from the opponent.
Lili wanted to persuade Lant, but when she walked to the meditation room, she found that Gu Leiya, Little Cardinal, Wendy, Yinghuo and even Huck and Albert had all arrived. The hundreds of square meters of meditation room seemed full. .
"Lant, are you thinking about it? The last time humans entered Hindukel was more than 1,000 years ago. At that time, His Majesty the God-Emperor personally led the army there and did not get any benefits?" Huck was quite worried. said.
"Yes, if we attack the orc hinterland, we will only push the entire war out of control!" Albert was also persuading.
"Father, uncle, let me ask you, is the Northwest Earldom a territory preparing for war against the barbarians? However, after the Gray Goose tribe invaded so much last year, did the entire kingdom mobilize and declare war, or was it prepared to give some money to calm the trouble?" Lant said as soon as he spoke. , the two elders suddenly didn't know what to say, "First of all, I didn't go to fight them openly, I just went to harass them. I'll fight wherever they are weak, and I'll rob wherever there are mines. And I also want to tell them Orcs, if you dare to fight me, you won't be able to stop for another hundred or two hundred years."
"Anyway, my city is defended by the Dragon Knights. I made it very clear at noon that I am willing to assist in the defense. The three of them can come from the Royal Capital, the Imperial Capital, and the Holy City to assist in the defense, but what is the cost? ? From now on, I will forget about it in Yeqi City. Maybe I will have to give up the palace to others." The Dragon Knights attract so much attention. In addition to powerful mounts, excellent knights, and sophisticated equipment, it is more important. The best thing is that they can shake people at any time.
However, there is a cost for fighting and swaying people. With Rand's family background, he is simply unable to pay for it, so he can only use the control of Yeqi City to pay for it.
"Lant, the situation is not that bad, right?" Gu Leya wanted to comfort Lant, "The mobilization of the orc tribe is very slow. In history, it has often been the case that the tribe was temporarily disbanded due to insufficient supplies after mobilization."
"I can't rely on my opponent's mistakes for my survival." Lant looked at Gu Leiya and the girls, "Don't worry, no matter who takes over Yeqi City, they don't dare to squeeze me out now, I'm leaving Who can control the hive for them?"
Huck and his brother looked at each other and realized that they could no longer persuade Lant. He could only say a few words of concern and then walked away silently.
"Lant, you won't leave us behind when you go to the orc hinterland, right?" Wendy's idea was simple. She wanted to go with Lant.
"We still have a lot of orders for magic pattern bottles. Can you complete the orders first?"
Now that there is large-scale magic pattern stamping equipment, even magic pattern armor can be made quickly. However, the craft requirements for the magic pattern bottle can only be made by the two great fairies of earth and fire together with Wendy and others. Because of this, The Magic Pattern Breeding Tank and Magic Pattern Bottle are the most difficult products in the territory, and many families have already placed orders.
The girls also understood that the more magic pattern containers were made now, the better off the territory's finances would be, and the longer the war against the orcs would be. In this case, Wendy said no more and turned around to go to the ruins.
"Lili, wait a minute." Lant looked at the girl in front of him and stopped her.
"Sir? Are you looking for me?" Lili was always a little scared when facing Lant. Based on his understanding of dreams, Lant must know the existence of his father, but he never revealed it.
"Yes, Sofia recently told me that nightmares appeared in the castle. This kind of demons are usually not low-level, and they are most harmful to high-level mages." When "nightmare" was mentioned, Lili's pupils were obviously bigger. Circle, Lant naturally understood in his heart, and then took out a small black ball, "I asked Your Excellency Sara Niel to draw some psychic magic patterns in the castle, which should be able to reduce the invasion of nightmares. But you are particularly attracted to these things, so I asked you to make this for you."
Lili took the ball and felt the heat on her palms. The magic patterns on the ball were not complicated, but very detailed, far beyond the level that girls could reach.
"Sir, is this amulet really for me?" As a mind mage, Lili likes such small balls very much, and is even a little shocked by Lant's generosity. "What is this black one?"
"The core of a magister-level nightmare," Lant said with a smile, but he felt the body of the girl opposite him tremble. "The day before yesterday, a nightmare invaded the castle and was suppressed. This is the core that you used it to made."
As a legend, Saranier was too embarrassed to ask for something from Rant, so he simply used the nightmare core handed over by Fanir to make an amulet, and Rant even made changes to it.
"This amulet is really powerful!" Although when she first heard that it was the core of the nightmare, Lili subconsciously thought it was the remains of her father and almost lost her grip, but the moment she put it on, Lili clearly felt Her strength has increased. If she would have been led by Faniel before, it is estimated that Faniel can't do anything to her now, at least in her two-tailed form.
Lili, who was wearing the amulet, had a hint of depth in her eyes, as if her understanding of dreams had improved in an instant. She quickly thanked her and went out to test her strength.
Looking at the girl's leaving figure, Lant's lips curved into a satisfied smile.
…
As the end of the month approached, several members of the royal capital's nobility came to Yeqi City and began to repair and organize the ruins of buildings belonging to the dragon nobles. Several big families in the imperial capital also applied to enter. Several blocks near the palace are gradually gaining popularity.
However, more than 80% of the area in Yeqi City was still in ruins. Tania and Teresa and Elsa, who had just returned, began to build some low walls on the outside of the uninhabited neighborhoods to separate different areas.
There was finally light in the city at night, and the knights in the academy also started patrolling, such as Uffi and Frederic Lanyuan now.
With residents from outside Yeqi City, there will naturally be pressure on public security, especially some orcs and assassins who cannot survive in the capital, and will sneak in and lurk from time to time.
In this way, the knight apprentices in the hive have jobs. They can earn corresponding points by assisting in patrolling the streets in the city. If they can discover assassins and thieves, or even arrest and kill them, they can earn a lot of points.
