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

The lord is going to send troops to deal with the lizardmen!

This news immediately detonated the city of Huiyue.

Although the new residents have not experienced the war where the Lizardmen attacked Glorious Moon City a few days ago.

But seeing the ruins of the city wall, you can know how tragic the war was at that time.

What's more, after hundreds of years of war between the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Lizardman Empire, the cruelty of these cold-blooded beings has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Many residents who have just received their wages for a few days feel a little uneasy.

Now they have a relationship with Huiyue City that both prosper and lose.

It was hard to find such a tolerant city to take them in and provide them with a job with a salary of 80 poke a day.

If they went to Decker City, let alone work, they might not even be able to afford food now.

It is human nature to seek stability, and most people are unwilling to go into exile again after having just tasted the beauty of this city.

In this mood, the residents' discussion is particularly intense.

But no matter what the residents below feel, there is only one king in this land.

Lauren's order is the direction for City of Glory Moon, and no one can shake his will.

A large number of military supplies were moved out of the warehouse to arm the army.

The logistics department began to make dry food for the army to march.

The Ministry of Public Security began to mobilize reserve soldiers to appease people...

The various departments turned like gears.

After being busy for most of the day, there was a detailed data of the army equipment on Lauren's desktop.

Compared with half a month ago, the army at this time has been regarded as a shotgun change.

200 half-orc warriors wearing a full set of D-level equipment were presented to the Bucks family.

The 150 Bumblebee Hunters and 250 Long-Eared Hunters did not buy any armor because Lauren was in a hurry to return to the City of Glorious Moon, but each held a D-rank longbow—the Bow of the Half-Elf.

This is a weapon he got on credit from the Bucks family. The D-grade longbows are worth 200,000 pokes each. These 400 longbows made him owe the Bucks 80 million pokes.

One of the most outstanding attributes of the Half Elf Bow is the 20% increase in attack speed and 15% armor penetration, which greatly improves the long-eared hunter.

In addition, he also purchased 120 sets of d-level armor that can be worn by barbarians, plus 100 sets of armor for human soldiers.

The properties are all very nice.

If it weren't for the eldest daughter of the Buck family, I'm afraid that this batch of equipment would not be in his hands in a short time.

After a little calculation, this is a weapon and equipment worth over 100 million yuan.

This made Lauren have to feel that the army is the real money-burning machine...

While the army was preparing for tomorrow's expedition, the Propaganda Department of the City Hall, which had not been established for a long time, also started their work.

Several staff members posted the announcement of this expedition on the wall, which described in detail the harm the lizard people did to Huiyue City, as well as the justice and necessity of sending troops.

And there are people on duty, constantly promoting the significance of this war to the residents.

External conflicts have always been the best way to divert internal conflicts.

On the endless wasteland, everyone has personally faced external threats, so it is extraordinarily easy to publicize, and it is easy to resonate.

Public opinion is a high ground, which must be occupied and guided. Lauren takes this very seriously.

He didn't want to lead his troops to fight outside, and a group of people would hold back in the territory.

Only when the residents feel that the army is fighting for them will they rejoice at the victory and feel sad at the defeat, and the hearts of the people can be united.

The power of the people is a vast ocean, as long as it can be used, it will definitely produce unexpected gains.

Soon, under the continuous propaganda of the Propaganda Department, the hearts of those who were still a little turbulent immediately calmed down, and all of them shared the same hatred, and regarded those lizardmen as their biggest enemies.

I can't wait to hang those cold-blooded monsters who want to destroy Huiyue City and their stable life with my own hands.

——

The next day, before the sun rose.

woo woo~

A long blast of horns awakened the sleeping city.

At this moment, a huge army has gathered at the gate of the manor.

Raging Bear Riders, Dark Blood Riders, Bumblebee Hunters, Wolf Spearmen, Barbarians, Orcs, Long-Eared Hunters...

The whole army is ready to go.

Everyone was murderous.

The army of Glorious Moon City was born in the midst of blood and flames of war, and none of them were weak.

Under everyone's frantic gaze, a heroic figure stepped out of the manor riding a white bear.

bang~ bang~

Every time the giant bear with a shoulder height of two meters and a weight of more than three tons takes a step, the crowd can feel the ground shake once.

Fresh clothes and angry horses, with outstanding demeanor.

Roren rode a white bear to the front of the army, and glanced at the army forged by him.

A firm voice resounded everywhere.

"Soldiers of Glorious Moon City, I am your city lord and your supreme commander - Lauren Grant."

"You gathered here, you must all know what we are going to do next."

"But even so, I still want to say it again, so that everyone can clearly know what we are going to do!"

The dark eyes gradually became sharper.

"The lizardmen attacked Huiyue City a few days ago, intending to destroy our city, seize our land, and enslave our relatives!"

"Our soldiers thwarted their plot after paying huge sacrifices!"

"However, the blood of the heroes of Huiyue City cannot be shed in vain, this revenge must be avenged!"

In just a few words, the soldiers below suddenly became short of breath and clenched their weapons tightly.

Lauren's gaze became sharper.

"Anyone who invades the city of Huiyue will be killed!"

"This is the motto of my Lauren Grant, and it will also be the declaration of Bright Moon City to the outside world in the future!"

"No matter who it is, as long as they dare to provoke and violate us!"

"The sword in our hands will never show mercy!"

His tone rose suddenly, and he roared angrily.

"Anyone who offends my Bright Moon City will be killed!!"

The soldiers below also roared in unison at the same time.

"Anyone who offends my Bright Moon City will be killed!"

"Anyone who offends my Bright Moon City will be killed!"

"..."

Under this exciting slogan, the morale of the army began to rise wildly.

As a soldier, who wouldn't want to shout such a tough and domineering slogan? !

Will be the courage of the soldiers, this sentence has never been false.

When the morale of the army climbed to the extreme, Lauren waved his hand suddenly and shouted angrily.

"If we go here, we need the blood of the Lizardmen!"

"The whole army is going!"

rumbling~

With high morale, the army of more than 700 turned around and headed out of the city.

Lauren rode the white bear in the lead.

Raging bear cavalry followed, followed by dark blood cavalry, wolf spear throwers, barbarian berserkers, half-orc strong warriors, long-eared hunters... each legion was arranged in order.

In mid-air, the Devil Bee Queen Eringo led the Bumble Bee Hunter to fly into the air.

Such a powerful legion passing through the street immediately aroused the exclamation of the crowd who had been waiting early.

There was a bit of yearning in the eyes of a young man next to him.

"I really hope that one day I can ride a giant bear and go out to fight with the lord..."

A fat aunt in a long gray dress was full of surprise.

"Barbarians, orcs, bears, wolves, and demons...

Goddess, it is shocking that this army can be ruled by a human lord..."

An old resident over fifty raised his head proudly when he heard this, and looked at the crowd around him, his voice raised a bit.

"What do you know? Lord Laurent has received the blessing of the goddess and can control the great existence of demons. What's wrong with ruling a powerful army?"

"A month ago, the city of Huiyue only had more than thirty human soldiers! Now it is more than ten times stronger?!"

"This powerful army was forged by Lord Laurent within a month!"

"You should feel lucky to be ruled by a God-given Son who has been blessed by the Goddess."

With the rapid growth of Huiyue City, what Lauren said at the hero's funeral has convinced more and more residents.

The changes he has brought about are truly astonishing.

Because of this, many residents firmly believe that Lauren is the one chosen by the gods to bring them light and hope.

As for the reason, look at the stable and harmonious environment around them that are not oppressed and enslaved, and look at the life they are living now. Isn't this what the minstrel said about the bright holy city full of hope and future? !

After hearing the old man's words, the crowd slowly fell silent.

Especially when they saw that the dark blood knights were not as chaotic and bloodthirsty as the legendary demons, they had different expressions.

Those monsters exuding evil aura are real demons, the legendary bloodthirsty demons! !

At this moment, as the adults in the city hall said, the demons in Huiyue City will not harm them, and they are their guardians, fighting for them.

This had a huge impact on the hearts of the crowd.

Although they are skeptical about the person chosen by the gods, their lord who can enslave demons into an army is definitely of extraordinary origin...

Under the eager gaze of the crowd, the army left Bright Moon City... and this time they left very simply, leaving no defensive troops behind.

When the residents discovered this situation, they suddenly felt a little panic in their hearts.

The army has left, who will guard the city of Huiyue? !

This is an endless wasteland!

Just when the fear of the crowd gradually expanded with the discussion.

Sharp-eyed residents noticed a violent fluctuation in the water surface of Huiyue Lake.

Then came a scene that horrified them.

An army of frogmen with frog heads and round white bellies emerged from the water, and then swarmed ashore without the army's defense.

This horrific scene immediately ignited the fear of the crowd, and a large group of people ran back.

The screams of women, the curses of men, and the cries of children instantly plunged the city into chaos.

"Frogman!! Run quickly..."

"Hurry up and inform the lord that a monster crawled out of the lake!"

"Goddess, why are there so many terrifying monsters!!"

"..."

But completely different from the reactions of the new residents, a small number of people actually looked at the retreating crowd with mockery.

They stood still in place full of pride, as if they didn't care about the frogmen rushing ashore.

Those fleeing residents quickly noticed this, and looked at these people in surprise.

Are these guys idiots? Why don't you run away when you see these monsters?

But then, a picture that surprised them appeared.

The foul-smelling frogman did not attack the crowd after landing, but instead began to guard the key intersection and started guarding.

The panicked crowd seemed to have been pressed the pause button at this moment, and looked at the frogmen passing by them in surprise.

"They, why don't they attack people?"

"Are these frogmen also the army of Glorious Moon City?"

Those old residents who didn't escape could only turn their noses upside down at this moment.

"Hahaha, a bunch of cowards! These frogmen have already been conquered by Lord Laurent, the newcomers, how can you know the greatness of Lord Laurent?"

After finishing speaking, he held his head proudly, purposely passed through the crowd of frogs, and swaggered away...

The crowd who was hit again became more and more weird.

Could it be that the lord is really like those old people said... a man bestowed by the gods?

But how is this possible? !

Under the command of Ancaros, the frogman army flooded into the city of Luna, not only taking over the defense, but also began to participate in the construction......

The images of ugly frogmen carrying trees and rocks in the city of Huiyue have become lingering memories in the minds of many residents.

All of this is too surprising.

——

After leaving Glorious Moon City, the bee hunter was scattered by the demon bee queen Yi Lingo.

Five kilometers around, being watched by these air cavalry at all times.

It has to be said that the advantage of the air force is beyond the reach of land arms.

Flying at high altitude, the line of sight is extremely far away, some dangers can be avoided early, and some monsters that are difficult to find are also marked one by one.

Its efficiency is several times higher than that of the security forces on the ground.

As a result, the army moved extremely fast and quickly advanced towards the lizardman's territory.

After the last sneak attack failed, the Lizardmen didn't send spies to investigate in the direction of Huiyue City for the past few days, but instead withdrew their troops.

Obviously, the loss of more than 1,000 lizardman warriors and more than 300 cold-blooded cavalry last time made the other party feel the deepest pain.

The loss of dozens of barbarians and nearly a hundred kobolds in Huiyue City made Lauren feel pain, not to mention the lizardmen whose battle losses were more than ten times higher than his own?

If there hadn't been follow-up army reinforcements in Decker City, even if the lizardman army had been defeated at that time, the strength of Huiyue City would have dropped significantly.

"Fianna, it seems that your deduction about the lizardman city was not that simple. The other party still hides some secrets?"

During the march, Lauren suddenly looked sideways at Fianna who was riding a black horse beside her.

Because of the lack of a mount, this cold girl was unwilling to ride with Lauren, so she came alone on a horse.

But with great strength and high prestige, no one dared to say anything, not to mention riding on horses, even on foot.

The title of Demon Queen, which was obtained among the kobolds, was staged again in the half-orc army.

"My intuition tells me that this lizardman city is not as simple as it appears..."

Fianna spoke calmly and looked directly at Lauren.

"At that time, I wanted to investigate further, but unfortunately I encountered cold-blooded cavalry."

After pondering for a moment, he said solemnly.

"But things have come to this, no matter what the other party is hiding, we must launch this attack!

Otherwise, when the other party reacts, the crisis facing Huiyue City may be even greater. "

"However, judging from the opponent's lack of revenge for a week after the defeat, the lizardman city may not be as powerful as I thought, and we don't have to worry too much..."

From oneself to others, the defeated lizard people's territory must also be accumulating strength.

The next time they launch an attack on Huiyue City, they will definitely be shocked.

The lizardmen must also be able to sense the thoughts of Huiyue City. Both sides are holding back their energy to see who can accumulate the power that can decide the battle first.

Accidentally obtained the magic scroll that the frogman got from the lake, and now Lauren has the final trump card.

As long as the opponent's city wall collapses, the army of Huiyue City will definitely crush Ling Xiao.

The hatred that the two sides have accumulated several times has reached the point of endless death at this moment.

It is impossible for anyone to let go of each other.

For the stable development of Huiyue City, he must eradicate this deadly threat stuck in his throat.
