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

Chapter 163 Looking to the future, the orcs are coming

After the orc army entered the city, the 50 storm falcons found a small island to live alone, and Lauren sent the cat-ear girl, the whisperer, to appease them.

I have to say that this air cavalry does have capital that he values.

Not only are they all silver.

Moreover, several talents are combat talents, which are much stronger than pterosaurs.

But the problem now is that the number of these Storm Falcons is too small to form a powerful air cavalry corps.

Let's cultivate the Storm Falcon, the resources needed are not a small burden for the city of Huiyue.

These monsters eat meat, and the supply of meat in Huiyue City depends entirely on hunting, which is unstable.

With more heart than energy, Lauren could only put this idea on hold for the time being.

But no matter what, the arrival of the barbarian army still made the residents of Huiyue City feel more secure.

Coupled with the previous half-orc army, the originally weak city defense force has become extremely strong at this moment.

However, the Barbarian Legion also encountered the same problem as the Orc Legion.

The amount of equipment is too small to equip everyone.

The weapons are fine. With the increase in the number of alchemy forging machines, the production efficiency is visible to the naked eye.

However, due to the difficulty of producing armor, the efficiency has not been improved.

However, for barbarians who have always used bone and stone equipment, they are already very happy to get an iron axe, and there is no complaint about the lack of warrior armor.

The total number of the barbarian army and the half-orc army exceeded 2,700, which is not a small number.

Lauren helped these fighters change jobs the next day.

1000 Barbarian Berserkers, 1700 Orc Strong Warriors.

After the job change, the loyalty of these soldiers who had just joined him increased significantly.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye,

June 30.

All the residents of Huiyue City have been in a depressed atmosphere since the morning.

Many residents who are working look up at the sky from time to time, the worry in their eyes cannot be concealed at all.

No one can forget what day it is.

Although the city hall has repeatedly issued decrees, the fear in people's hearts is still difficult to eliminate.

"The bloody day, after dark, the blood moon rises, and the bloody polluters descend on the earth."

"Master Lauren said that the bloody day of this month has disappeared, and it will not come until the end of September. I hope so."

"Hmph, what are you worried about? How can the words spoken by Lord Laurent be false?!"

"If the bloody day really didn't come today, then Lord Laurent's identity as the Son of God is absolutely true."

"Bah, it will take today to confirm? The last time Lord Laurent glanced at me, I knew it. Only the Son of God can have such a sharp gaze."

"."

The atmosphere in Huiyue City was dignified, but it didn't affect Lauren who was having afternoon tea at the manor of the castellan.

It was rare to be able to drink tea slowly on the day of blood, and I was still in a good mood at this time.

The last two times at this time, they were already waiting for the enemy to arrive on the top of the city.

"Master Luo Lun, those human soldiers captured by us surrendered to us yesterday, and they are willing to become soldiers of Huiyue City and fight for us."

Ariel stood beside Lauren, reporting government affairs respectfully.

"Surrender?" Lauren put down his teacup, with a playful arc hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Who allowed them to surrender? Only by doing meritorious service can we become soldiers of Huiyue City. If you want to fight for us, you must first make meritorious service."

He was not allowed to let go of the 1,000 captives of the Xiongshi family, but it was only about ten days, which was far from what he expected.

Now sharpen the edges and corners of these captives, and it will be easier to recruit them later.

Ariel nodded, wrote down the matter, and continued.

"Currently, the Barbarian Legion and Orc Legion are still idle, should they be allowed to participate in the construction of the city wall?"

Lauren shook her head.

In normal times, he would naturally not let these laborers idle, but the orcs are about to attack, so there is no need to overdraw the soldiers' physical strength at this juncture.

"I'm preparing for the battle these days, and we'll talk about it after we've shouldered the orc's soldiers."

"Yes, my lord."

Ariel kept talking, "A letter from Decker City, the patriarch of the Bucks family, the Marquis of the Bucks who has reached an extraordinary level, invites you to visit the Bucks family."

Lauren let out a little surprise.

"The other party had asked Fianna to deliver a message last time, and delivered it again this time?"

A bit of thought flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that the Bauhinia family has done a good job in Forging City in the North, otherwise this Chaofan wouldn't be so eager to see me."

Ariel looked at him hesitantly, "Then what do you mean?"

Lauren shook her head.

"I'll go to Decker City again after the orcs attack. It's not that urgent."

Even if the Marquis of the Bucks is extraordinary, but if you can call him, you will come, and if you wave him, you will go away? What a joke.

However, he is also prepared to continue to deepen the cooperative relationship with the Bucks family.

After all, the Endless Wasteland is a little far away from Decker City, and there is a powerful partner who will benefit but not harm.

"By the way, what's the situation with the captured caster team?"

The last time Bol Xiongshi sent a wave of wealth, the caster team composed of 1 gold spellcaster and 9 silver spellcasters all became the wealth of Huiyue City.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to let these precious spellcasters go to mine, and after they were captured, they were handed over to Wei Ni for management.

"I have become Miss Wei Ni's subordinate, and Miss Wei Ni is currently training their legion magic."

There was emotion in Ariel's eyes, she didn't have any talent for magic, and she still yearned for magic, a power full of mystery and nobility.

Lauren nodded thoughtfully.

"What do you think if we let Wei Ni establish a magic academy in the City of Glorious Moon?"

"Academy of Magic?" Ariel was startled by Roren's jumping thinking.

After thinking about it, he said seriously.

"Lord Lauren, what is needed to train a mage is not just a mentor who can teach magic.

Each spellcaster requires a large amount of resource allocation, which we currently do not have the ability to do.”

Lauren smiled.

"Of course I know, but we can set up a magic training class first, and screen the residents of Huiyue City to find those who have magic aptitude for training.

It is not necessarily necessary to directly establish a magic academy."

There are no obvious shortcomings in all aspects of Huiyue City, but the caster is his heart disease.

He can upgrade the element tower.

To have such a powerful building in your hands, but no one is using it, is too fucked.

The higher the level of war, the greater the role of magic. He is not willing to give up developing such a powerful force.

And magic is closely related to technology.

Most of the alchemy machines designed by Nak, a weapon designer, are driven by magic circles.

If he has a deeper magical background to support his research, it will definitely speed up the research progress, and it will not be difficult to even improve the performance of the alchemy machine.

The extremely intelligent Ariel was a little puzzled at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she gradually understood what Lauren was thinking.

"Do you want to use magic to promote the development of other industries in City of Glory Moon? For example, the weapons department?"

There was a bit of amazement in Lauren's eyes. As expected of a genius in internal affairs, this keen insight is really admirable.

Nod slightly.

"Indeed."

There was some admiration in Ariel's eyes.

"Master Lauren, this idea is indeed very good.

But at present our ability is limited, at least we have to wait until the next bloody day before we can devote resources to it. "

After finishing speaking, he added, "Of course, we can also make some changes, such as letting Miss Wei Ni lead the caster team directly to the scientific research department to cooperate with the scientific research department."

Lauren thought about the current predicament of having nothing to eat, and smiled wryly.

"Just let Winnie join the scientific research department, and work with Nak, the weapon designer, to study the alchemy machine."

"With the wisdom of the mage, it may surprise us."

Ariel nodded happily.

"It was a wise choice."

Lauren smiled, and after thinking about it, he still told Ariel about the future development direction of Bright Moon City in his heart.

Especially regarding the alchemy machine, there is no reservation.

She instilled in Ariel her expectations for the alchemy machine and the progressive significance represented by the alchemy machine.

The last sentence made the other party even more excited.

"Ariel, you can imagine a picture.

One day, alchemy carriages were running on the streets of Huiyue City, alchemy harvesters were harvesting countless food in the farmland, alchemy quarry machines were digging ore in the mine, and all kinds of powerful alchemy weapons were placed on the city walls .

By then, how extraordinary and yearning would the City of Glory Moon be? "

The vision of this genius internal affairs official is far from that of ordinary people, and his eyes lit up immediately.

With a flushed face, he said excitedly.

"Lord Lauren, if what you said can come true.

The City of Glorious Moon must be an endless wasteland, no, the city that the entire Nuoer main plane yearns for! "

These alchemy machines represent a higher level of productivity, if what Lauren said can be realized.

Then the strength of the military, people's livelihood, agriculture and other aspects of Huiyue City must break through the sky.

Seeing Ariel's excited expression, Lauren chuckled lightly.

"All of this requires us to work together."

His goal for the city of Huiyue is - the city on top of a mountain.

And magic technology is the road to the city on the top of the mountain.

This is the power of progress.

So in the future, he will vigorously develop magic technology.

Fully automatic alchemy crossbow, alchemy magic cannon, alchemy seeder...etc.

He also believed that these miraculous machines would appear in Huiyue City one by one.

When the alchemy machines are rumbling and can produce tens of thousands of top-level equipment every day, how terrifying is the power of Huiyue City?

And then, what about Decker City? The city of Huiyue can be destroyed with one hand.

Just when the two were discussing happily, suddenly a soldier galloped in from the door.

"Master Luo Lun, the latest news came from the spies. Some of the orc strikers suddenly changed lanes and rushed towards the City of Glorious Moon!"

Lauren turned his head sharply, looking at the soldier sharply.

"How many people are there?!"

"About a thousand people, including 300 wolf cavalry!"

"How long will it take to reach the city of Huiyue?

"Five hours at the fastest."

Lauren's expression softened slightly, but fortunately there were not many people and there was still time.

But in the next second, his eyes became serious again.

The task issued by the system is to resist the orc attack 5 times.

There is no doubt that the first time is definitely the weakest attack force of the orcs.

But even so, there are thousands of troops.

How strong should the orcs be for the fourth and fifth times? !

Thinking of this, the sense of urgency in his heart rose in vain.

"Blow the horn and prepare for battle immediately!"

woo woo woo~

The long sound of the horn resounded throughout the city of Huiyue, and the atmosphere that was somewhat heavy because today was the day of blood immediately became more dignified.

Countless people looked towards the sky in fear.

"Goddess, is the day of blood coming again?"

"No, it's not the day of blood. Lord Laurent's words are not lies! Didn't you see that the sky hasn't changed at all?"

"Orc!! It must be an orc!!"

"The army is gathering, what shall we do?"

"Nonsense, what should I do, what can you do? Could something happen in Huiyue City with Lord Laurent around?"

"makes sense."

"."

Just when signs of chaos began to appear in Huiyue City, a notice from the city hall was posted immediately.

There will be a thousand orcs attacking Huiyue City in a few hours, and everyone is working normally, so there is no need to worry about it.

Seeing the news, the shaken people's hearts calmed down instantly.

In the past few months, the residents' trust in the City of Glorious Moon and in Lauren has already reached an extremely high level.

Lauren didn't bother with these trivial matters. Except for military power, the internal affairs were basically handed over to the city hall.

An excellent system does not require him to watch it every day, and with Ariel around, he feels at ease about it.

When Lauren came to the city wall, a dense army had already gathered around.

Nearly 3,000 warriors as strong as calves look quite visually impressive.

"Master Laurent, the barbarian army requests to fight!"

The barbarian chief Yas, who had replenished his supply of troops, raised his voice at this moment.

There were only dozens of barbarians left before, and those alone were useless, and even if there was a task assigned to him, he couldn't afford it.

It was obviously different now. With a barbarian army of thousands of people, he had the confidence to face a strong enemy.

After Yas's voice fell, the commander of the half-orc army, a gold-ranked and strong half-orc warrior, stood up immediately.

Looking at Lauren, sincere and humble.

"My lord, the barbarian army has just arrived, and it should take a while to get used to it. The half-orc army invites you to fight!"

When Yas heard this, he gave the orc commander a hard look.

"Fart, when did a savage ever need a rest?!"

Lauren waved his hands dumbfounded.

"I can't use you for the time being."

He wasn't going to stay at home this time and wait for the orcs to attack.

The Bumble Bee Demon has detected the movements of those orcs.

Waiting for the opponent to come, no matter whether you win or lose, is actually not good for Huiyue City.

Needless to say, they lost, but they won—as long as the orc army is not stupid, once they send spies to investigate in this direction, they will definitely find the City of Bright Moon.

At that time, the second wave and the third wave may face extremely powerful enemies.

After the last two waves, City of Bright Moon may not be able to withstand it.

After all, that was an army of hundreds of thousands of orcs.

If they can strangle the opponent in the endless wasteland in advance when the first wave and the second wave attack.

That would definitely delay the time for the orcs to discover Glorious Moon City.

At that time, even if the difficulty of the last two waves of orc attacks is still terrifying, it will definitely be lower than waiting for the opponent to attack.

"Fianna, let the dark blood cavalry and bear cavalry assemble."

"Eringo, let the Bumblebee Demon and the Storm Falcon come and obey orders."

To snipe this wave of orc army, it is best to stay away from the city of Huiyue.

It would be too slow to lead the infantry forward.

100 dark blood cavalry, 59 furry bear cavalry, plus 150 mad bee demons and 50 storm falcons.

It is not difficult for this legion composed of air cavalry and cavalry to strangle an orc legion without much defense.

It took less than three minutes after the order was issued.

The ground roared, and the knights riding fierce mounts rushed towards them. At the same time, the sky dimmed instantly.

The Bumblebee Demon flies at a low altitude of a hundred meters, while the Storm Falcon cruises at an altitude of several hundred meters.

Seeing that the army had gathered, Lauren didn't waste half a second.

Swipe~ The devil's wings spread out, fluttering and flying.

At this moment, the breath of the Demon Grand Duke gushed out unscrupulously.

Darkness fell.

Everyone's head looks like it is pressed against a boulder.

Thousands of soldiers are all looking at the domineering figure in the sky with terrifying eyes.

Such a powerful coercion, such a terrifying breath

Lauren glanced at the ground with serious eyes.

"If you offend me in the city of Huiyue, you will be killed!"

The voice fell, the wings flapped, and immediately galloped away.

The cavalry below rushed out of the city gate at the same time, and the air cavalry in the sky also swooped down and followed closely behind.

This scene made the soldiers who newly joined the city of Huiyue excited.

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

A simple sentence, but with exciting excitement.

What courage does it take to utter such shocking words?

Lauren's figure was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers below.
