Demon Lord

In Milnor's view, the Cross Rosie and Cross Viper are no longer trustworthy at all.

This inexplicable war came suddenly and ended even more abruptly. After being played around for a while, Milno finally understood the key point, but when he wanted to remind Charles II, he found that he had been abandoned.

When the emperor no longer trusted him, Milnor knew that even if he stood in front of Charles II to state the pros and cons, the other party would probably not believe his words at all.

Since taking over the task of attacking Efta, Mirno has always been surrounded by various problems. Only now did he realize that he shouldn't have had such a big obsession with revenge from the very beginning, so that he ended up in this situation. Now there are only fifty people left in his guard, and the remaining thousands of soldiers have already died. Repatriated on the spot, because Milno could not find enough food for them to follow him. As a result, his team at the moment is not even comparable to a reliable caravan.

What made him feel even more palpitating was that on the way back, almost all the civilians chose to avoid him after learning his name, as if he was a moving source of plague.

The property of the Earl's Mansion has been almost exhausted in the forced war, and most of the fields and food in the territory have been taken away by the orcs, not to mention how many people will die in this difficult winter. Just the border of the territory bordering the Holy Temple is enough to put him in fear in the future.

Regret, anger, helplessness... As a double loser in war and political struggle, Milnor thought of Earl Moore who had been hiding away early. As long as I have half the intelligence of the other party, it is absolutely no problem to be the number one minister of the kingdom safely, but now...

Just thinking about this, the carriage suddenly stopped amidst the sound of horseshoes. Mirno was a little surprised what happened, but as soon as he poked his head out, he saw that the soldiers in front were being raided by a cavalry team that came out from a slanting stab!

This is the road in the forest. Hundreds of people appeared in the seemingly peaceful forest on both sides. Although they were wearing different sloppy clothes, the shining weapons in their hands and the shining armor under the clothes were extremely dazzling...

The team preparing to adjust their formation was cut down on the spot. The guards brought by Mirno were considered elite after all, but they were quickly killed to collapse when faced with three or four times the number of enemies. These bandits who appeared suddenly did not give anyone a chance to surrender, so that even after Earl Mirno's guard threw away his weapon and raised his hands, his head was still chopped off by the opponent's long knife.

Seeing this group of guys pretending to be bandits, Milno doesn't know what happened. His loss of power does not mean that the future will always sink. Charles II will need him someday, and an order may bring him back to the center of power... and This situation is obviously not what the political opponents want to see.

When the situation in Bergen Territory was in turmoil,

Bandits attack and kill nobles has become a perfectly normal solution.

When the surrounding guards were cut down one by one, Earl Mirno let out a miserable smile and tried to get off the carriage calmly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the car door, he was directly pulled down by the leader of the team.

For your revenge, you have caused the entire kingdom to lose too much.

The low-pitched words came out of the knight with half of his face covered with a red scarf, and Mirnor immediately understood the identity of the other party, Napa, the most powerful knight under Earl Moore's command!

But what's the use of guessing the other party's identity? The Napa knight didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He drew out his long sword and stabbed silently and slowly into Milnor's chest.

Take everything you can and get out.

None of the more than fifty guards survived, and Mirno's body was still on the side of the road. The Napa knight turned and left without even looking at it.

*****

Rody, who accompanied Sally through the three-day vacation, finally left Hollier City and embarked on the journey back to Elson City.

After this battle, the Holy Temple was included in Efta's territory without accident. It brought not only another territory of the kingdom, but for Rody, the most important thing was the population of this territory.

The Karen Kingdom is far from reaching population saturation. With the increase in productivity driven by the charged spar, what is most lacking in the future is population... and a large number of people.

Rody is not yet rich enough to manufacture a large number of arcane puppets to replace artificial labor, so how to use the farmers who were originally fixed in various territories and only knew how to farm has become the most important problem he will face in the future .

In the world where Roddy once lived, the Black Death severely damaged the vitality of Europe, and because of the segregation of the lords, years of wars and a very high infant mortality rate prevented the population from being comparable to that of the centralized powers in Asia. Compare. So Rody and Sally have briefly discussed the future development direction of Rosie Cross in the past few days. He hopes that this religion will no longer be a national China with an independent political power and army, but will become the embryonic form of a hospital institution in the future.

Eliminate epidemic diseases, improve the survival rate of infants and young children, reduce the relief of common diseases on the population, and prolong the average life expectancy of the entire kingdom... This is the focus of the future development of Rose Cross.

As long as you do it with your heart, you can see results within twenty years. Keeping productivity up to date, the country will quickly enter a period of rapid economic and population growth.

Riding on the Kodak and looking down at the land below, Rody could see that the road built from Elson towards Houlier City had already connected to the first town along the way, and the length of this distance was only 60 kilometers For modern people, 60 kilometers is not even considered a long distance, but here it is like a moat, separating two residents who may never have any contact in their lives.

The construction speed of the railway was obviously much slower. At this time, it had just extended to the small town outside Elson. A large number of orc coolies have joined the work of laying the railway. Because their strength has increased a lot under the influence of the Devil's Gate, and their working speed is obviously stronger than that of humans. Therefore, various projects that were originally planned to be completed in autumn have basically been completed by this time.

Most of the small towns are raw material processing plants, mainly wood and ore, and there are also light industrial plants like paper mills. Because the town will definitely expand into a transportation center and an important industrial town in the future, Luodi has divided up areas reserved here in advance, using horizontal and vertical streets to naturally divide factories, residences, leisure, business, and transportation areas Come on, it is estimated that within three years, this place will become an engine to accelerate the increase of the GDP of the entire Efta and even the Karen Kingdom.

Quickly passing over the town, Rody quickly entered the range of Elson City. Looking at the streets with people coming and going, Rody thought for a while, but he let the duck land directly on the school field of the military camp.

At this time, the Dragon Cavalry Regiment has ended today's training, and a knight with good strength is taking care of the owner who loves the horse and must ride it at the horse farm not far from the city. It takes a long time to cultivate feelings, so this group of knights walks back and forth with their horses every day. However, there were a group of people on the school grounds in the city who were fighting each other. Rody took a look and found that these thirty or so people were all field agents of the Elson Central Intelligence Agency.

Among these members are soldiers selected from the barracks, as well as tieflings with various skills. Among them, Nora is very conspicuous, because she always stood there without moving during the actual combat training.

Seeing Roddy jumping off the Kodak, the training instructor hurriedly stopped the training and came over to salute. Rody waved his hand to signal to continue, then pointed to Nora and asked, Why doesn't she participate in training?

This instructor was selected and trained by Soderol from the army. He is not a knight or a warrior, but an assassin who has advanced to the second level. It stands to reason that his strength should be good. But Luo Di's question made him a little embarrassed: Go back to the city owner... mainly because, uh, her fighting style is rather weird, and I can't beat her.

This answer surprised him a little, but he quickly realized that although Nora did not have an advanced level, she quickly broke through to the basic level 23 after a short period of training. Those below the level are really no opponents.

Just don't let her use any skills in actual combat.

After Luo Di finished speaking, he was about to leave, but the instructor whispered: My lord...she doesn't need skills, and I, I can't beat her.

This surprised Rody. He glanced at Nora, who was standing calmly by the side, and thought for a while: Then arrange other training first, and then I will find something for her to do.

Yes, my lord.

After leaving the school grounds, Rody went straight to the center of the barracks. At this moment, Suo Deluoer is holding a long sword and slowly practicing the basic skills. It seems that they are all simple stabs and chops, but in fact he is deliberating on the details of every movement. Swordsmanship genius does not mean Fighting casually can become a sword master over advanced level 60. Soderol can be called a martial idiot. Even if there is no battle at this time, he will never be idle.

After the war ended, Rody kept Soderol in the city. The main reason was that there would be no more wars for a long time in the future. If Soderol and these soldiers wanted to improve their strength, Training alone is not enough. And if kept in the city, he will soon slack off or even regress. Therefore, before going to Rahiman, Rody is going to have a detailed discussion about the future arrangements with this powerful deputy.

What new insights have you gained recently?

Rody sat on a wooden bench beside him, found a cup and poured a glass of water. In this kind of private place, he would never put on the score of a high-ranking person. Not to mention that Suo Deluoer must be one of the few sword master level powerhouses in each country in the future, but the experience of fighting side by side and sharing life and death together is enough to treat them as brothers.
