From Baron to Lord

Saying this, Leinasen, without waiting for Laisse to speak further, said to the two people behind him, "You two stay here and protect Laisse."

"Your subordinates obey," the two knights clasped their fists and saluted.

Leinasen nodded, then looked at Allen again, "I will return and try my best to bring the citizens of the Lein Principality over with Father, troubling the Grand Duke."

With that, Leinasen flew into the sky, looking very hurried.

"Brother!" Laisse cried as she stepped forward and shouted.

Allen hurriedly hugged her, "Princess, be careful."

Laisse cried and said to Allen, "Allen, will my brother and Father be alright?"

Allen could only nod repeatedly, "They definitely will be, don't worry."

After a while, Laisse realized she was in Allen's arms, and blushed as she broke free.

Allen was a little embarrassed; heaven and earth bear witness, he didn't have any other intentions.

Seeing Laisse run down the city wall, the two golden knights behind her hurriedly followed.

Allen found someone to take them to his residence, and had Lucy and Cecilmina take care of them.

After thinking for a moment, Allen summoned several ministers to discuss state affairs.

Seeing their faces also full of exhaustion, they also looked worried about the situation these past two days.

Allen didn't hide anything and said to them, "The Lein Principality is already on the verge of collapse, and Prince Leinasen came to ask for help just now."

"What, Grand Duke, is this true?" Sure enough, many people's expressions changed immediately, and there was some commotion below.

Allen knew that once this news spread, it would probably cause tension. In that case, among the nearby countries, the Allen Principality might be the only one continuing to persevere.

But he had no choice. This matter might be concealed from the soldiers below, but it absolutely could not be concealed from them.

"Alright," Allen said, and the noise immediately quieted down.

"The Lein Principality has only been defeated, not destroyed, and our Allen Principality is not the Lein Principality."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people below immediately improved a lot.

After all, the Grand Duke is a person who has received the attention of the gods, and he can definitely deal with these monsters. The situation these past two days has indeed been like this.

"I have already reached an agreement with the Lein Principality."

Chapter 403: Mutation

"I have already formed an alliance with the Lein Principality, agreeing to let them move their citizens into the Allen Principality, and they will guard the border of the Allen Principality for us."

Hearing this sentence, the others also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was good not to be fighting alone.

"Sparrow."

"Your subordinate is here!" Sparrow hurriedly stepped forward and responded.

"This matter will be your responsibility. Remember to treat them well, and don't let people laugh at our Allen Principality."

"Grand Duke, there are really too many people in the Lein Principality. The land on the border probably can't support so many people," Sparrow said with a bitter face.

"Hmm, that's also a problem," Allen said to Sparrow.

"You first allocate some supplies for emergency use. They should also bring some food. When the time comes, leave them some land and let them cultivate it themselves."

Allen instructed, "We are taking them in, not letting them just eat and do nothing. We can have five harvests a year here, so it seems they can solve the food problem themselves faster."

"That's good," Sparrow seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Try to get them to promote the prosperity of the Allen Principality and strive to keep them here."

"Grand Duke, are you saying..." Sparrow seemed thoughtful.

Allen knew that population was an important basis for measuring the strength of a country. Now that so many people were pouring into the Allen Principality, he had to find ways to keep them here.

Allen believed that after seeing the Allen Principality's so low tax rate and the soil that could yield five harvests a year.

Except for some people who really couldn't bear to leave their hometown, I'm afraid that a large part of them would be unwilling to leave.

Although this might greatly offend the Lein Principality, when the Allen Principality becomes strong, making some compensation to them would probably be the end of the matter.

"Grand Duke, now I'm afraid that Sphit City is also very unsafe, why don't we retreat too?" Marquis Iron Lizard said boldly.

Allen glanced below and saw that many people were tempted. It seemed that they really didn't think Sphit City could be defended.

After all, seeing so many skeletons densely packed every day, there was indeed this worry.

Moreover, the Lein Principality had already suffered a complete defeat, and the fall of the entire country was probably only a matter of time.

However, Allen could not agree to this suggestion, "Retreat, where to retreat to?"

Allen snorted coldly, "The coastal principalities around us, not to mention they are all doomed, are also preoccupied with their own affairs, and we belong to different kingdoms, will they welcome us?"

"The Lein Principality under the Norton Kingdom has suffered a complete defeat. Will the Hilton Principality and the Jomori Principality behind agree? They can't wait for us to stand in the front so they can reap the benefits."

Sure enough, after Allen said this, the people below also looked pale and said nothing more.

Seeing them like this, Allen softened his tone.

"Everyone doesn't need to be too disappointed. Our Allen Principality is strong and well-prepared. Look, aren't we defending well now?"

That's true. Hearing Allen say this, they also relaxed.

Although the situation looked scary these past two days, not to mention breaking the city, they couldn't even get close to the city wall. The current Sphit City is still as solid as a rock.

"Everyone's titles are here. If you retreat to other principalities, the Norton Kingdom will be dissatisfied, and you probably won't be able to keep your titles."

The last sentence seemed to touch them the deepest. After all, only with the Allen Principality could they be high-ranking nobles.

If it was really like Allen said, without the identity of a noble, it would be worse than death.

"Your subordinates will definitely do their best to protect Sphit City and the Allen Principality." This time the voices were the most uniform.

Only then did Allen return satisfied. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw Laisse crying, while Lucy and Cecilmina were comforting her.

"What's wrong?" Allen asked.

The three of them saw Allen and hurriedly stood up, looking at Allen.

Cecil Mina looked at Allen and said softly.

"Well, the princess doesn't need to be too sad. Duke Laine and Prince Lainasen are not weak. Even if they can't win, their lives should be safe."

Allen can only comfort her like this now.

"Really? Duke?" Leixue grabbed Allen's hand tightly, as if grabbing the only life-saving straw. . . . . . . Ask for flowers. .

Seeing this, Lucy was a little unhappy, but Cecil Mina still looked at them with a smile.

"Of course, at present, these skeleton soldiers are only large in number, and they all have the strength of bronze knights, but there are very few masters."

"With the strength of Duke Laine, a dragon knight, naturally nothing will happen."

"That's good, that's good."

Leixue recited a few words, and then thought of something.

"This battle is so difficult, I don't know if the Laine Principality can still exist."

Allen felt that she was too worried, "Don't worry, we will definitely win the final victory."

"The situation is so dangerous now, the surrounding principalities will definitely not sit idly by. We have also asked the Norton Kingdom for help, and reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Even the Radiant Empire will be alarmed, so you can rest assured."

"Empire!" Leixue opened her mouth wide, looking a little cute.

"Empire, will they really pay attention?" After all, in her perception, the empire is the most powerful country on the entire continent, and they are high above like gods.

"That's right, now do you believe that we can defeat those monsters?" Allen said softly.

"Yes."

Leixue still believed in the strength of the empire and nodded heavily.

At this time, Leixue finally showed a smile, and found herself pulling Allen, her face suddenly turned red, and pulled Lucy and Cecil Mina to run to the back.

Early the next morning, Allen saw Marco rushing over. Marco said anxiously when he saw Allen: "Duke, it's not good, there's an accident."

"What? What happened?" Allen was very nervous. The situation is so dangerous now, but there is no room for any accidents.

Marco looked at Allen, hesitated to speak, "Duke, go and see, you will know when you get there."

Allen didn't care about anything, and hurried to the wall of Sphit City with Marco. At this time, many people had gathered here.

People looked worried and couldn't stop talking.

"What's the situation below?"

"I don't know, but it looks really scary."

Several.

Chapter 404 Traces of the Abyss

The talking person was shocked when he saw Allen behind him, and dared not say any more, and said respectfully: "Greetings, Duke."

"Hmm."

Allen ignored them, frowned and climbed the city wall, looking down.

After several days of war outside, the bones have piled up on the battlefield, and broken bones are everywhere.

However, those bones were gray-white before, but now they have become pitch black. Those pitch-black bones are all over the outside of the city, which looks very strange.

Overnight, these bones suddenly turned black, which was indeed a bit creepy.

"What's going on?" Allen said with a frown.

Marco whispered: "I don't know, Duke, it was fine yesterday, but today someone suddenly discovered that the outside has become like this."

The others also looked at Allen, without saying "923".

It was already scary enough to encounter such monsters these days. They looked like skeletons, and they were not weak.

These warriors were also seeing such monsters for the first time. If they didn't believe that the great duke could solve all problems, and with advanced weapons, it seemed very easy to deal with those skeleton soldiers.

They would have been unable to hold on long ago, and now the corpses of those monsters have become so scary, they are even more worried.

Allen suddenly said eagerly to Marco and the others: "Open the shield to protect Sphit City and the soldiers below, quickly!"

Although Marco didn't understand what he meant, he still did it immediately.

Soon, the shield was opened, isolating all the soldiers from the corpses outside.

Seeing this, Allen breathed a long sigh of relief.

He also suddenly thought of the abyssal pollution on Cecil Mina before, and the changes in the ocean.

If these skeleton soldiers are also like the abyssal pollution on Cecil Mina, then the entire Sphit City will be miserable.

Thinking of this, Allen's face became a little pale, looking at the pitch-black bones below, unable to speak.

"Duke, what's wrong?" Someone said suspiciously, noticing Allen's situation.

Allen waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and became very careful, secretly running the power of the psychic giant dragon in his body to protect himself.

Although abyssal pollution is indeed very strong, Allen has the protection of the psychic giant dragon, so they can't do anything to him.

Allen looked down, jumped down, and landed right in a pile of dead bones.

His feet immediately sank, and many bones cracked and broke.

Allen was extremely careful, but after waiting for a while, nothing unusual happened, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Allen squatted down and carefully checked, and even picked up a bone and put it in front of his eyes.

After watching for a while, Allen still gained nothing. It seemed that they were just like this, with no difference at all.

Allen's brow furrowed even deeper, and it seemed that these dead bones were not abnormal at all.

However, under Allen's legendary realm investigation, this point was the most suspicious.
