"MMP, it's going to explode?? I still don't believe it, hehe......"

"What are you kidding, this magic node is going to collapse? Believe it or not, add 100 nodes to kill you? ”

"Isn't it, this kind of magic circuit doesn't work??"

"Failed again? ......”

"No, the data from the Crimson Moon Analysis Department says that these nodes should be doing useless work, but why can't they be removed......"

"Sure enough, the data of the earth can only be used as a basic reference, and I still have to experiment with it myself......"

"Hahaha, it's finally right, this magic node has finally been removed, it's too damn intolerable, the next ......"

"MMP, this second-hand data analyst, actually treats this node as a useless node? I was almost miserable, there is too little data, and I need to continue to pass the data back, otherwise those people will give too little help......"

"Hahaha, Gaga's enhanced version of the Super Fireball Technique has been born....... it, why did it collapse again?? ”

“......”

In mid-November, after more than a month of orc invasion, Li De, who had been in retreat for a month, finally opened the closed door.

No one knew what had happened to him this month, and no one dared to interfere with him except that Harrison had interrupted him once to report to him about the extraordinary scale of the orc invasion this year.

After the level was raised to level 14, Li De's control over magic power had reached a peak, at least 50% higher than when he was level 10.

But Rao is like this, when improving the two magics of the Great Fireball Technique and the Mage Shield, the difficulties encountered and the number of failures are still indescribable in simple words.

At first, Li De didn't make much progress for a week, and in the end, he was annoyed and directly called all the data analyst teams of Crimson Moon.

He then provided all the data on the magic model and asked the team of hundreds of people to use modern equipment to help him analyze and eliminate useless magic nodes.

Not to mention, the strength of a team of hundreds of people is far stronger than his temptation of magic nodes.

Crimson Moon helped him eliminate a large number of useless nodes according to the basic rules of magic node operation, which greatly saved time.

Although there have been some tricks in it, such as an irreplaceable key magic node being marked as useless.

A magic node that can be replaced is considered indispensable......

Halfway, because of these mistakes, the magic model collapsed countless times, and the severe backlash dazzled him for a while, and the magic blood was drunk by him as if he didn't want money.

Although in the final analysis, it was up to him to conduct the experiment himself, Li De estimated that without the assistance of the Crimson Moon team, he would have spent at least five times as much time.

The whole process was extremely difficult.

Even Li De estimated that he could improve ten one-ring spells by improving one two-ring spell.

200 magic nodes and 50 magic nodes are not the same concept at all.

It's too hard.

It's a lot like a top student encountering a super difficult version of the Olympiad math problem, and it's really not good if you don't have a little brain and toughness.

Li De got up and walked out of his manor, took a comfortable breath, and finally could relax for a while.

Shaking his head, he decided not to think about magic for a while, his head hurt.

Follow the avenue towards the town hall.

When I came to the street, I was slightly stunned.

Under the light of the sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the street with a bit of warm gold.

The spired houses around it seem to be scattered with this kimpuk, the blood reliefs on the walls are painted with golden dye, and the colorful murals praising the Cult of Daybreak are even more holy with gold.

To Li De's surprise, there was a slight crowding of people coming and going on the street, and the black heads of people looked over and couldn't see the edge.

When did there be so many people in the City of Dawn??

Although the original street was prosperous, it had never been so lively, and even Li De felt a bit of the feeling of a Chinese night market.

The pedestrians around him rarely stopped after seeing him, and they all hurried by, as if they didn't know him at all.

This kind of scene makes Li De feel very interesting, as the owner of this kind of city, as long as he walks out into the street, he will bow and salute, and the experience of being treated as a passerby like this is quite new.

After a short distance, someone finally began to bend down and salute, and then the closer they got to the town hall, the more residents saluted him.

Everywhere Li De passed on the last street, there was a crowd of residents bending down and saluting, and the scene was very spectacular.

In contrast, many residents with blank faces looked at this scene inexplicably, which adult is this? Why did everyone salute him??

The new residents had no idea that these people around them would do such a thing.

Li De was a little amused when he saw this, these are the refugees who were plundered? Ordinary residents don't have the audacity to look at him.

Only a few of these people still had cringing eyes, and the rest of them were full of hope on their faces, Li De was keenly aware of this, and nodded slightly, the city hall did a good job.

To see how these people are doing in the City of Daybreak, you only need to look at the expressions on their faces.

And now, the new residents, who had not saluted him, had seen hope on their faces again.

That's good, humans are the foundation of Daybreak, and that's up to the Bloodlines themselves.

Dwarves can not care about the interests of the other party, then they can be tools, orcs can enslave them as coolies at will, but human beings, as the foundation of the development of the blood race, still have to lay a good foundation.

A young boy in his early twenties dressed in sackcloth waited until Li De's back disappeared and spoke to a resident of the same age beside him with some curiosity.

"That Lord is the Lord of the Holy Light Blood Clan? Why does everyone respect him so much? The adults of the patrol don't have this kind of treatment......"

The freckled boy who was asked raised his head with pride on his face and spoke in a proud tone.

"When that is our city lord, the great Kachar, the patriarch of the Holy Light Blood Clan, and the protector of our City of Dawn."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the boy who spoke, and said with these few proud.

"New friend, Your Majesty Kachar is the master of this city, no matter what your background is, no matter what your status is, here, you are a child of your crown.

You must have enough respect for the master of his city, or you will be the one who will be disgraced. ”

After saying that, he walked away with his head held high, he was a resident with 3 points on him, and these newcomers would have to back down if they met him in the store.

Thinking of this, a smile of relief hung on the corner of his mouth, and it was really cool that he had recently enjoyed a privilege that he had never enjoyed in front of these new residents on various occasions.

You can cut the queue to buy things, those with special channels can directly skip the queue, and even those who go to the city hall with high points can be given priority......

3 points is ordinary for old residents, after all, the points obtained from blood donation plus 1 point obtained from farming and paying taxes this year, old residents generally have more than 3 points.

But these newcomers are different.

These guys had only just arrived, and the points were still blank, so for the first time on various occasions, he experienced the thrill of enjoying privileges.

In front of everyone, blatantly cutting in line, with envious eyes behind him, that feeling is not too cool.

Hearing this, the young boy who had asked looked at his back as he left pouted, turned his head and walked towards the medical department.

He knew where the pride of these old residents was, because they had more points on them, and he had been cut into the team countless times by these old residents during this time.

If this were in the outside world, he would only grit his teeth and accept it, but this is in the city...... He can also have these privileges.

"Wait for me to donate blood to earn my points back, and see if you dare to intervene in my team......"

The city council has a rule that new residents of Daybreak City do not need to donate blood for three months, and he didn't plan to donate blood at first, but now, he also needs to have points, and no one can stop him.

He didn't believe it yet.

As the only privileged group in the City of Dawn, point holders are naturally highly sought after.

The point system is equivalent to the aristocratic system, and the more points you have, the higher the title of the noble.

The only difference is that nobility is only available to a very small number of people, but points are earned as long as you contribute to the City of Daybreak.

The ascending channel is very pronounced.

This creates a situation where those who don't have points will desperately earn points in order to become human beings.

Those who originally had more points and enjoyed power were naturally unwilling to lose their power, and they would work harder to earn points.

It is not at all fixed and rigid like the aristocratic system.

Of course, this system is still very imperfect, and it is a problem that points are only accumulated and not consumed, and the growth rate is a problem.

But it doesn't need much care in a short period of time, Li De sees this very clearly, and the policy cannot be changed for a lifetime.

It only needs to be adjusted before the problem occurs, and he will make corresponding adjustments to these later, and at present, the points system will run for at least five or even ten years without major problems.

At that time, no one can say how far the City of Dawn will develop, and what system will be designed.

So he knows that these systems are imperfect, but if they are useful at this stage, it doesn't hurt to change them later, anyway, he is the only boss here, and it is his word to change it.

Don't worry at all.

That's the benefit of dictatorship.

Stepping into City Hall, I went straight to Harrison's office on the second floor.

Stepping directly into the open door, Li De was slightly stunned in the room.

Not only Harrison is here, but Nicole, the little girl, is also there. The two sat across from each other at their desks in their offices, with some papers on them, apparently discussing something.

After seeing Li De's figure, the two immediately stood up and saluted.

"Good day, patriarch."

"Good day, Kachar City Lord~"

Li De was also polite, nodded and sat on the sofa on the right side of the office.

"How's the looting of the population progressing this month??"

Although Harrison reported to him once halfway, he was at a critical moment in improving his magic, and he didn't pay much attention to it after hearing that there were no major problems with the population plundering plan, but that the scale of the orc invasion was a little abnormal.

Now he is in the City of Dawn more to stabilize the morale of the army, as long as he is in the city, everyone has a strong centripetal force, and he doesn't need to do anything to make people feel at ease.

In this case, on the contrary, he as the boss does not have so much work to do.

Of course, this is also the reason why Harrison and his men are so helpful.

The system of the town hall was already relatively perfect, and in order to plunder the population, they had already made more than a dozen plans three months in advance, otherwise he would not have had so much time to study magic.

Harrison had a big smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, this year's orc army movement is extraordinarily large and the chaos it has caused is even greater, so our plans are going very well.

At present, the population of the plundered has exceeded 12,000 people, and the total population of Daybreak City has exceeded the 20,000 mark.

And according to our estimates, by the end of December, at least 20,000 people will be plundered......

If the Winter Moon strikes as usual like last year, it is likely that our population will exceed the 50,000 threshold this year......"

Li De's heart was pounding.

50,000 people.......

With a population of 50,000, it is just an ordinary small city outside of glory.

But for the City of Dawn, which is desperately underpopulated, it's a huge asset.

If nothing else, the believer can bring enough benefits in this moment.

As long as he turned all of these people into followers of the Daybreak Sect, then he could have at least seven or eight thousand faith powers a month, and then he wouldn't need to live on his tight fingers like now.

I'm afraid it won't take more than two months to subdue Karp, a level 18 orc king.

With enough faith power, he can't do whatever he wants.

And how much productivity can these 50,000 people bring? And how many talented spell-casting geniuses are there?

Although this Harrison's initial estimate is a little impatient.

He has been trapped by the population problem, and finally sees some hope for a solution.

"Are you sure? 50,000 is more than we estimate of 30,000...... Can the logistics, as well as the security work, keep up? ”

If Harrison's estimate is correct, there will be 40,000 more people in Breaking Day.

This is not a small amount of data, and the things to deal with are not so simple, and the eating, drinking, and sleeping of tens of thousands of people will directly cause a huge logistical burden to the city of Dawn, which now has less than 10,000 people.

A city is not only about the population, but also needs to provide relative supporting measures, how to solve the housing problem, how to arrange the work, how to distribute the land...... And so on and so forth.

Otherwise, Li De would not have spent a year preparing for the cold winter moon, he just wanted to have enough capacity to bear in the face of a sudden influx of people.

However, it was initially estimated that more than 20,000 people and up to 30,000 people would be plundered in this winter month, but now it has directly doubled, which is obviously beyond the original plan.

Nicole took Li De's words at this time, and the little girl was full of confidence.

"Kachar City Lord, no problem, we have made a lot of plans for this, and 50,000 people is still a conservative estimate.

The City of Dawn of Dawn is also fully capable of accommodating 60,000 people.

After all, this is the city you built with your own hands. ”

Speaking of this, there was indescribable adoration in Nilo's big black eyes.

After entering the city hall office, Nilo realized how the original city of dawn had developed step by step to the level it is today.

It's all the great existence in front of her, with a super strong wrist, a broad mind, and a far-reaching vision, from a city where there are zero human beings to the present.

It can be said that everything in the City of Dawn today was created by this handsome man.

Without him, there would be nothing now.

Thinking of this, Nilo secretly glanced at Li De a few more times, and the handsome face that made the little girl's face quietly flush a little.

Li De nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, this was not in vain for his hard work in the past year.

"Very well, in that case, let's do what the city hall has planned."

Professional things let professionals do it, what he needs now is to set the general direction, not to participate in everything, otherwise there are so many forces under his hands, will he do something else?

Plundering the population is a very careful and systematic work, and the experience gained from plundering the population last year is enough for the Bloods to complete.

He stayed in Daybreak City to deal with the unexpected events that might happen, and if there were no accidents, it was better, and he was happy to be idle.

"Nicole, how is the mission of the Daybreak Sect going?"

After chatting about the population, Li De shifted his attention to the Daybreak Sect.

The Daybreak Cult was now in a skyrocketing level of importance in his heart, especially after researching the magic of assimilating souls.

This skill is too domineering, but unfortunately the lack of enough faith power makes him weak, so he can only watch dryly.

Sora lamented that when he was young, he didn't know how to exercise his waist......

Now that a large number of new people have entered the City of Daybreak, it is the best place for the Daybreak Sect to exert its strength, and he urgently needs the replenishment of his followers.

He was too poor, and his faith was always tight, and he didn't have any inventory on hand.

"My sister is now personally preaching outside, but at present, these people have just arrived in the City of Dawn, and they are still panicking and waiting, and it will take some time to see the effect."

Nicole was confident when she said this, but the Daybreak Sect had always been managed by her, and although she did not believe in Li De, it did not prevent her from designing a missionary route for it.

In Nicole's view, people are almost the same, and the difference between believers and non-believers is only that they have one more god of faith.

And the gods are nothing more than beings with more power.

The girl's leap of thought determined that she could not believe in gods, because the first condition of faith was to believe.

Believe in the greatness of the gods.

But Nicole only thinks about studying how the other party becomes stronger, which is completely reversed, so there is no trace of faith in her.

"Daybreaker slogans can be used to add some soothing slogans to address these situations, you can design some."

Li De nodded and did not urge the other party, if he wanted to bear fruit, he naturally had to sow seeds.

The sudden influx of people into the City of Dawn is bound to cause greater or lesser turmoil.

The role of the Daybreak Sect now is more to stabilize people's hearts, and it is difficult for the number of believers to increase rapidly in a short period of time.

After all, suddenly coming to a city ruled by legendary vampires, even if life here is good and safe, there is always uneasiness and trepidation in the heart, and it must be full of vigilance against the outside world.

In this case, there will be two extremes, the brain will simply find the sustenance in the heart and start crazy faith, and normal people will be vigilant, and will produce "Is this a vampire conspiracy??" Therefore, keep a wait-and-see attitude.

If there is a list of dark creatures that humans hate the most, the Bloods dare not say that they are ranked first, but no matter who ranks them, they will definitely be in the top three.

But there is no way, the reputation of the blood clan has long been stinking in the mouth of human beings, although Li De has been washing the white blood clan in various ways, and even the vest has been replaced with a very penetrating name like the Holy Light Blood Clan.

However, this kind of perception that has penetrated into everyone's perception cannot be changed in a short period of time, and it took three to five months for the previous residents to reverse it through various propaganda and administrative means.

Although there are former residents to assist, it will take some time to change their mindset.

"If you wish, I will come up with the most appropriate precepts for our teachings."

Nicole seemed to have received a divine decree, her big watery eyes lit up at once, and her face showed a little excited expression, as if she had thought of something else.

"Patriarch, the scale of the orc attack this year is much larger than in previous years, and the news of the root Odis may be the largest in recent decades."

Harrison watched the conversation between the two come to an end at this time, and hurriedly said on the side, "Do we need to do some additional probing and preparation for this?" ”

Li De raised his eyebrows, the last time Harrison interrupted him to improve his magic, he was talking about this matter, and now he heard him mention it again, it seems that this matter is even more serious than he imagined.

"Otis have they found out why? Did the Dwarven Valley report this? ”

Harrison shook his head, "Otis can't go deep into the orc lands to find out what is going on.

However, Craig deliberately sent back several important information, and it is said that the orc army is particularly strong.

Even the orcs of the Dwarven Valley were recruited, and Craig shirked it and sent a team of 1,000 to join him. ”

Powerful? Even the dwarven valley has been drawn into the army??

Li De's eyes showed a somewhat thoughtful expression.

The rule of the orcs has always been tribal, and the orc empire has only built a large city in the deepest part of the barren wasteland, and the other orcs live in the wasteland like primitive tribes.

If the Orc Empire needs to use troops, it will draw troops from various large tribes to form an army.

This pattern is very similar to the nomadic people of ancient China.

The only difference is that the orc empire has a stronger dominance over various tribes, and as long as the tribe is named, it must draw troops.

Disobedience?? The corpses of the rebels have long since become fertilizer in the barren wasteland.

Because for hundreds of years, the orcs would invade the border every winter moon, and at the beginning, the Nolan Empire would send troops to forcibly fight the orcs.

But in the end, it was found that the casualties were too great.

The will to fight then weakened, as the Nolan Empire discovered that the Orcs did not occupy the lands on the border permanently, and they would retreat to the barren wasteland the following year.

In the end, the nobles found that it seemed that the loss of retreating the border and letting the orcs wreak havoc after the start of the winter moon was much smaller than the loss of fighting the orcs.

And anyway, the orcs will retreat at the beginning of spring, and they will lose no matter the land.

In this way, the will of the army on the border to resist became weaker and weaker, and in the end, they simply withdrew from the border in advance and retreated to major cities every winter month.

As for the civilians who are producing at the border, they don't want to bother at all.

Commoners did not have the protection of the nobility, and they also figured out a set of rules for survival, and many began to gather in the surrounding cities before the onset of winter, and waited until the winter moon passed before returning to their own land.

This is a very deformed state of existence, but there is no way, the main plane of glory is the same there, there will be demonic beasts and dark creatures rampant without orcs, so the humans on the border rarely say that they will move away from the border, because other places may be more dangerous.

As long as I run fast, the orcs can't catch up with me, and this kind of heart has been passed down from generation to generation at the border.

This is also the reason why the border population has remained relatively stable.

"Does Recker have any reason?"

Harrison hesitated, "Rekel speculates that the Orc King has sent the next successor to the Orc Empire.

Orcs are a race of supreme strength, and only merit can establish prestige.

The orc kings of this generation are old, and the successors are not yet prestigious enough, and humans are undoubtedly the best choice to establish prestige. ”

"The heir of the Orc Empire??"

Hearing this title, Li De was a little amused, if he could enslave this orc prince who was destined to be noble in blood, then ......

But then he shook his head funny, is this considered a sequelae?

If he dared to enslave the orc prince, he was afraid that the next day the orc army would attack the city of dawn.

The Orc Empire, but there are legendary-level powerhouses.

And you can only think about it, if this kind of character is not guarded by powerful guards, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

"Yes, the lion clan is the ruler of the orc empire, and the captive Karp is the lion clan, maybe he still has a thin royal blood flowing in him."

"Karp?" Li De shook his head, I don't know if the other party has royal blood, but the combat power is really strong, but he is not interested in this matter.

"Forget it, just let Craig keep an eye on this matter, what we want is to plunder the population, the affairs of the orc prince are not something we can interfere in, send more spies, and be sure to avoid contact with the main force of the orcs."

"No problem, the direction of our plundering population is mainly on the side close to the distant mountain range, and the location of the main orc force seems to be in the former southern core city - Riesr City, which is located south of the border."

The city of Riesl? Li De frowned, there was this city in the memory of the ancestor of the blood clan, as a city established by the descendants of the royal family of the Risr Empire thousands of years ago, it had a great reputation.

The Erudiments of the Riesle family were even more famous throughout the Nolan Empire.

The ancestor of the Blood Clan had hesitated between infiltrating Grimm City or Riesr City, because as a city with a large background and a long historical background, Risr City was not weak in magic.

However, in the end, it was because the super-hairer was in Grimm City that the ancestor of the blood clan chose Grimm City, because the ancestor of the blood clan has always regarded the transcendent as an enemy, and wants to know himself and the other, can he kill the other party in the future......

Of course, that transcendent might not even remember that he had almost destroyed a bloodline, after all, such beings hunted indescribably powerful beings, and the bloodline at that time was not qualified to be remembered by the transcendent.

"The orcs want to storm the city of Riesr??"

"I can't be sure," Harrison shrugged, "because until now, the orcs have only been gathering armies and have not officially launched an attack. ”

"Nicole, what do you think?" Seeing that the little girl kept secretly looking at him and didn't speak, Li De turned his head to look at this girl full of spirituality with some amusement.

Startled by Lide's sudden attack, Nicole was like a child stealing candy had been discovered, and her small and delicate face was a little flushed.

"I, I think the orc's destination is not only Riesr City, or Riesr City is the first target that the orcs must take."

Hearing this, Li De was a little interested, and looked at the girl encouragingly, "Go on." ”

Nicole watched Li De's eyes slowly regain her confidence, turned around and took out a colorful border map from the house, put it on the round table in front of Li De, pointed to the chart on it and said in a high-spirited tone.

"The city of Riesle straddles the middle of the border, and 500 miles behind the city is Greentown.

If the city of Riesr can be taken, then the orc army will pose a direct threat to Grimm. ”

"If the orc prince wants to establish his prestige, what could be more dazzling than the capture of a human core city with a population of millions and even a transcendent command?"

Li De's heart jumped when he heard this bold speculation, and his expression changed slightly as he looked at the clear markers on the map.

Lost in thought, will Greentown be captured?

Even civilians in border villages scoff at this claim.

But what if the orcs really moved?

In terms of national strength, the orcs will definitely not be able to defeat the Nolan Empire, but it does not seem to be difficult to occupy a large city when the Nolan Empire is defenseless.

It depends on how determined the Orc Empire is to do this.

Li De suddenly felt a bit of a crisis.

Now Daybreak City is largely dependent on the continuous blood transfusion of the Scarlet Mage Tower, which is the source of his money bag, and if Green City is really occupied by the orcs, then he will be directly cut off his hands and feet.

The City of Dawn will be in great trouble for its development.

Without Greentown's blood transfusion for the City of Dawn, the City of Dawn would not be able to use Greentown's ready-made industrial system to develop itself, and the current momentum of development would definitely come to a standstill.

And there is also the Dark Covenant, this giant of the underworld has bought a lot of precious materials for him during this time, Corso and Castro's armor, and all the precious metals used in it are purchased by the Dark Covenant.

Even the news of the specific location of the Dwarven Valley this time was the power of the Dark Covenant.

Not to mention that the Dark Covenant is now building a much-needed intelligence network.

His roots are in the City of Daybreak, but if he wants to develop, he can't do without Greentown, especially if he has already put down roots in Greentown.

After a little thought, Li De's expression became more and more solemn, although the orcs were only gathering troops now, and they had not even started to attack the city of Riesr, but the consequences of this assumption were too serious.

The orc prince wants to establish prestige to inherit the orc empire, and this kind of war cannot be inferred by common sense, because it is likely that the other side will not care about casualties and only need to see the result.

"Immediately incorporate this hypothetical scenario into the town hall's response plan, and let people begin to evaluate the orc plan and make a corresponding plan."

Hearing Li De's serious tone, Nicole and Harrison were a little surprised, but both of them were smart people, and after a little thought, they both sensed the seriousness of the matter.

His expression slowly became solemn.

"Harrison, inform Grote of the recent movements in Green City, and make sure Craig confirms the truth of this.

I need to know everything I need to know about the orc army gathering in the city of Riesr this time. ”

"Yes!"

The two of them responded in unison, their expressions solemn.

I was still watching the play just now, and it was none of my business.

But in the blink of an eye, the opponent's army is likely to threaten his own forces, and Li De's mentality is like a roller coaster, and he has a very fucked up mood.

He immediately decided to go to Daybreak to find out if the news was true.

Because of the long-term invasion of the orcs, the human race is very slow to mobilize the orc army, and if the orc prince really fights this idea, then the probability of success is not small.

Especially the other party's identity is special, although Green City has an extraordinary existence, but the orc prince may not be around him, and there may even be more transcendental.

This is a war waged by the crown prince of an empire to increase his prestige, and it must not be thought of in simple logic.

As long as the goal can be achieved, no matter how much the other party pays, I am afraid that they will not feel distressed.

Greentown, the most dazzling city in the south, is the best merit medal.

Took a deep breath.

I finally slowed down, planning to take advantage of this winter to develop a wave of strength, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing again.

Although everything was speculation now, the consequences were so serious that he had to order what might happen in the future when it was just a simple speculation.

"Fortunately, I improved my magic in advance, if I had gotten this news before, I would never have had the heart to retreat for a month."

When the two of them went down to arrange with solemn expressions, Li De shifted his gaze to his attribute panel.

Those two freshly baked spells stood out so much.

Essence Fireball (Extreme Enhancement)

Spirit Dragon Scale Shield (Extreme Enhanced)
