Demon Royal Family

Chapter 193 The angry mob

The next day Ivo got detailed information about Liema Town.

There are 224 combat-effective guards left, and 80 injured are resting. There are 300 mercenaries in the town, one-third of whom belong to the Hurricane Regiment, and the total armed force of Liema Town is more than 500 people.

There are a total of 7,000 ordinary residents, more than 1,000 members of the Chamber of Commerce, 400 miners, and over 70 craftsmen. Half of them belong to the hurricane group, and there are some travelers trapped in the town. In total, there are nine non-combatants. More than a thousand people.

Liema Town has been expanded many times, and the area is too large, with many idle houses. This is Madi's preparation for building the city. In Ivo's eyes, not only does it have no effect at all, but it also stretches the city wall area, spreading out the small area. of manpower.

Madi followed Ivo's advice and reluctantly abandoned half of Liema Town, dispatched a large number of civilians, demolished half of the houses and turned them into stone to strengthen the city walls.

It was very inefficient to demolish the house by manpower alone. Nafei provided assistance. She was already a fourth-ring gray-robed wizard. She used earth witchcraft to demolish the house, which was extremely efficient and greatly accelerated the process.

The thugs outside the city couldn't see the demolition of houses within the city walls. Ivo would not let them idle. When there was nothing to do, he asked Nebuldan to spray dragon breath to harass the thugs. The effect was very obvious.

Five days later, with the help of Nafi, the abandoned half of the town turned into a pitted open space. The outer city wall was not demolished. Ivo made a plan. In addition to reinforcing the city wall in the reserved area, he also had people working with people in the open space. An inner wall was built between the towns, and people were no longer sent to defend the outer wall in the abandoned area, saving manpower.

There was a lot of movement to reinforce the city wall. The bandits and thugs did not sit idly by and attacked the city wall against Nebuldan. They suffered heavy losses and left behind at least four hundred corpses, most of which were frozen to death by the dragon's breath.

The army of thugs could only station far away. Seeing the Frost Dragon hovering over the town, they could only watch with grief and anger as the masons of Liema Town worked feverishly to reinforce the city wall.

Ivo took over from Madi and gave orders. The guards did not recognize him, but Lord Madi was very respectful to Ivo, and Ivo rescued Liema Town in a critical moment. The whole town was very grateful to him.

Although Niebuldan was easy to use, it was not a long-term solution. Liema Town attracted many bandits, and the army of thugs continued to increase. Thirteen days later, Niebuldan finally encountered a blockage.

There were dozens of powerful bandits, most of them warriors. They used long-range attacks to deal with Niebuldan. Bows, arrows, and spears were barely powerful enough to break through dragon scales. They even used a large number of alchemical explosives. Niebuldan began to Small wounds appeared, and the little things added up, and Nebuldan also felt tired.

…

"Can't remain passive any longer!"

Ivo patted the mahogany conference table with a stern look on his face, and looked around at the people present, Lord Madi, Affairs Officer Old Cody, Nafi, Stonehoof, Gavin, and one other mercenary representative, eleven young The president of the Chamber of Commerce, the craftsman representative Master Kevin, and the captain of the guard team Rod Mickey****, a storm-level warrior who uses a big sword.

All present here are the top leaders of Liema Town, and the only decision-makers are Ivo and Madi.

Today is the first day of the sprout month in March. Unknowingly, the war has already started for a month.

It has been half a month since Ivo came to Liema Town.

"Then what do you want? Are you going to abandon the city wall and go out to die?" the mercenary representative nicknamed "Cross Axe" snorted coldly.

Ivo glanced at old Cody and motioned for him to speak.

Old Cody is Madi's affairs officer and is responsible for counting the resources of Liema Town. Old Cody's beard trembled and he said tremblingly: "The situation is very bad. We only have forty pots of arrows left and only rice oil." One hundred and forty-five pounds, there is not much rapeseed and raw meat left to make oil, and the food is about to run out. There are 3,000 rye breads left, only 500 pounds of wheat flour, and some fruits, vegetables, lettuce, and meat. , all the rations are only enough to feed the whole town for a few days."

"Reducing the food supply for the residents, first ensure the food for the guards and mercenaries." Ivo said decisively.

After Liema Town was besieged, Madi confiscated food from the whole town and made unified arrangements. The residents would definitely leave some rations privately, and Ivo knew this very well.

Everyone here was worried. No one could create resources out of thin air. Ivo looked at the eleven small chamber presidents and said solemnly: "Thank you for your continuous contributions. Madi and I would like to express our gratitude to you on behalf of Liema Town." We are so generous, but the situation is critical and I hope you can contribute more resources. I’m really sorry.”

The eleven small chambers of commerce presidents laughed bitterly. Farian Pitman was the representative of this group of chambers of commerce presidents. He was a calm middle-aged man. He shook his head and said: "Mr. Ivo, we are trapped in Liema Town. Our safety depends entirely on your protection, but the resources hoarded by the Chamber of Commerce are limited. We have a large amount of ores, magic items, rare herbs, soul crystals, and alchemy tools. However, the food, arrows, etc. you want have been consumed. We There is no place to buy it.”

Ivo sighed and turned to Kevin: "Master Kevin, how efficient are the craftsmen in making arrows?"

Master Kevin said nonchalantly: "Making arrows is a blacksmith's job. Blacksmiths are limited. They can only produce ten pots of arrows a day. The quality is barely usable and the range is very short. By the way, they asked me to tell them that they don't have enough feathers." "

The shape of the arrow, the toughness of the arrow shaft, and the density of the arrow feathers are all criteria for judging the quality of arrows. Arrows with good quality not only have a long range, but also will not deviate from the ballistic trajectory. Although arrows are consumables, they cannot Shoddy.

"Where's the alchemical bomb?"

"There are about two hundred coins left." Kevin yawned, obviously not paying attention. As a master craftsman, he has many trump cards. Even if Liema Town is breached, he can escape unscathed, so unlike others Just as nervous.

"Resources are too scarce." Nafei frowned: "According to [Observation Technique] reaction, the mob army has increased to 3,400 people, several times our number. Even with the help of the Frost Dragon, we will not be able to survive the next attack. "

Everyone except Kevin looked gloomy.

Ivo lit the table and said in a deep voice: "Maybe I can get enough resources."

Everyone looked up in surprise and looked at Ivo.

"But it will take time. We have to block the next wave of attacks by the thugs, or even several attacks, before the resources I contacted can arrive." Ivo frowned, and he came up with the idea of ​​​​the Dark Eye industry. The Dark Eye is in Lasse Although Sri Lanka's forces have few people, they are extremely rich. If Ivo wants to mobilize these resources, he has already thought of an excuse to explain to the archbishop.

Before leaving the royal capital to aid the fierce horses, Ivo purchased some low-level communication badges, which he could use to simply contact Paro.

"Just hold on. All those who can fight, whether they are guards, mercenaries or civilians. Those who can take up arms must go to the battlefield to block the next wave of attacks. We can still have a chance to breathe." Ivo said decisively, If the situation collapsed, he would have no choice but to abandon his foundation and run away with the hurricane group on a dragon.

Everyone looked at each other in shock and responded with a bang.

…

late at night.

Ivo looked from the city wall and saw the bandit camp two thousand meters away, lit by fire and patrolled.

His collar moved slightly, and Little Devil No. 1 flew out with a chirp, and wiped Ivo's stubbled chin with his little head with horns. Under Ivo's order, he hid in the bandit camp under the cover of night. , became an informant, Ivo can control the movements of the bandit army at any time, and the bandits have no tendency to attack tonight.

Ivo took a deep breath, jumped off the reinforced city wall that was nearly ten meters high, and landed lightly without attracting attention.

He touched the space ring, which contained all the alchemy bombs in Liema Town.
