The bloody slaughter begins when the corpse demon emerges from a street corner that has been burned to rubble by fire. Groups of mercenaries shrouded in undead black fog were cursed, and finally when they were killed by the Shadow Phantom or the Manticore, they came back to life, only to be a mindless zombie when they stood up.

Watching the companions around them, who knew each other or didn't know each other, become the minions of this evil lord after losing their lives, and frantically attacked themselves and other companions, the psychological defense of these mercenaries gradually collapsed.

In the crowd that fled in a panic, there was a small group of people who had been standing still all the time and were cold-eyed and hostile to Aaron. An old priest, protected by the leader and a few warriors who seemed to be able to resist the ghost's sonic waves, softly chanted a magic spell......

"Passionate fire elves, please lend me your power, the element of fire!

Aaron, who was sitting on the back of the Shadow Phantom, suddenly noticed a fluctuation in the air in front of him, yes, a magical fluctuation, and the amplitude was very strong. Under the dark vigilance, suddenly a fireball with a diameter of more than three meters appeared in the air between the shadow ghost and the manticore, the purple-red flames were burning, and the air began to tremble and sway under the sound of hunting.

The old mage's eyes suddenly opened, and he pushed forward with both hands, and the fireball exploded, and a powerful explosion wave with a terrifying heat wave completely covered all the space between the manticore and the shadow ghost. The dead, who had just been reduced to low-level zombies, were instantly struggling in the heat wave, and were finally burned to a pile of ashes and fell.

Under the scorching heatwave, Aaron only felt a slight burst of stuffiness but did not feel much, but was blown off the back of the shadow by the power of the explosion. The strength of the shadow ghost is average, and it is also a dark creature, and it suddenly burned under the fire magic that contains the attribute of restraint, and fell to the ground in a wail, and the soul heart has been burned by the flames.

"Damn, there's nothing wrong with that monster. The leader cursed suddenly.

I saw that the manticore lion had already taken the lead in smashing into the group of mercenaries, with claws and shadows, and several mercenaries were knocked to the ground from time to time under the high-speed flick of the flexible scorpion tail.

"There!" Aaron quickly found the source of the magic fluctuations, and was being protected by several warriors who seemed to be not weak.

Dealing with these bastards, under Aaron's will, the manticore immediately turned his spear and pounced on it. A juvenile manticore is enough to deal with dozens of warriors below the high rank, not to mention that most of them are executioners below the middle level.

Aron's bloodshot eyes suddenly condensed, and a spiritual storm was released again. Seeing the ferocious manticore lion approaching rapidly, the old mage was already terrified and trembling, where was he still guarding against Aaron's sneak attack. Unguarded, the old mage was suddenly bombarded by the spiritual storm and fell unconscious.

Several leaders were also killed by the manticore's suicide attacks that ignored the defenses, and the rest of the remaining mercenaries had long been discouraged, and now that the leader was dead, they simply turned around and fled in all directions. It's just that even if they give up resistance, they still can't escape the wrath of the lord under the rage, and under the joint pursuit of the manticore lion and the corpse demon, the cowards who fled one after another screamed and fell to the ground.

The sporadic battle continued for a while, and at this point, the mercenary team sent by Barn disappeared from this world forever. Later, Aaron found some surviving lords and mercenaries in several remote corners of the new city.

Many of those who had witnessed or heard that the lord had killed the invaders in the new city, both the lords and the mercenaries hired by the council were greatly demoralized, and they demanded to be invincible against them, and the wise and powerful lords rushed to the old town of Kingston together. They want justice for their dead and brutal tortured fellow citizens.

Aaron accepted their request, war has always been so cruel, and not offending others does not mean that others will not trouble you.

Along the way, survivors continue to join this vengeful army that burns with endless rage. Farmers, women and children, merchants, slaves, squires, servants, craftsmen, mercenaries, regardless of their profession or gender, knew how to fight or not, and all of them joined the temporary force without hesitation.

When the revenge forces arrived in Old Kingston, they were pleasantly surprised to find that most of the buildings were still intact, except for the smoke from a few fires in the town.

However, as soon as they entered the streets of Old Kingston, their hopes quickly turned to anger. If the new city is in ruins, then it is hell.

In the streets, in the alleys, in the windows of the houses beside the road, dead and ragged corpses lay quietly on them, and in the sewers of the streets, streams of blood were paving the underground waterways of old Kingston.

The women and the underage children had their lower bodies torn apart, and their eyes were still round and their hands and feet were stiff after they died, as if they were trying to break free from the nightmare even when they died.

When the Kingston people and the mercenaries saw all this, the Kingston mercenaries, who were usually covered with the smell of copper and only knew how to sweep the snow in front of their doors, were angry, and the mercenaries who only knew how to gallop on women and fine wine after receiving their commissions. If the eyes could spew out anger, then even a Sacred Realm powerhouse standing in front of them would be burned to ashes by this huge and incomparable anger.

Aaron was trembling all over at the moment, and he couldn't believe if these people were the embodiment of demons. War, slaughtering the other side's civilians, burning the other side's cities, Aaron can understand these, but these people have acted beyond the definition of cruelty, they are simply a bunch of brutes.

Aaron asked himself that everything he usually did could be described as human annihilation and cruelty, but compared to this group of brutes, Aaron realized that he was not the most evil.

It didn't take long for the manticore to find the beasts that were still doing bestiality somewhere in the town. Under the powerful deterrence of the manticore lion and the corpse demon, more than a thousand beasts surrounded by countless Kingston people were smashed with stones, sticks, bread, and iron. In the end, the 241 intruders who were not yet dead were arrested and tortured for 72 crimes, large and small.

During the interrogation, Aaron received a message that made him laugh and cry: Ivanova, the executive of the Morgan consortium in the Salz region, was framed by her rivals for going too far with him, and he became a key pawn in the plot. Fisher listened to the bastard's provocation and false accusations, believing that Ivanova had hooked up with Aaron to take the consortium's interests in the Salz region for herself............

In addition, there is good news: in the canyon between the Magic Forest and the city of Kingston, spies who have been lurking in Kingston have spotted a demonic bear in the canyon......

Three days later, the more than 30 executioners who had survived the torture were escorted out of the court by the mercenaries and walked onto the platform built in the square amid the curses and anger of thousands of Kingston people.

In the earth-shattering shout, as the mercenaries' axes were raised high, and then fell vigorously, the entire square once again erupted in earth-shattering cheers............

The post-war reconstruction was so arduous and arduous that Ivanova, who had been abandoned by the Morgan consortium, asked to join Kingston and volunteered to join the committee to participate in the post-war reconstruction work.

Under the attack of the two major business organizations, many members of the committee with good experience in construction and stability maintenance died in the fighting, and it was at a time when the committee was extremely short of manpower, and Ivanova, who has rich experience in management and coordination, could help carry out the reconstruction work. Maybe it's because of work, Aaron and this pretty widow are getting in and out more and more often, and the relationship between them is also warming up quickly before they know it.

After this battle, Aaron's defense of the territory became even more urgent. Especially when Fisher and Barn spread the news of the attack on Kingston throughout the empire, the caravans began to examine the security of Kingston and whether they wanted to find a new area to trade with. The city-states that had been eyeing Kingston were also starting to stir up, including Anthony of Salz.

The mercenaries who helped him regain Old Kingston were awarded the title of Knights of Glory by Aaron, who wanted them to join the Kingston Guards. These mercenaries had long wanted to be a part of Kingston, and Aaron's initiative made them cheer, and they agreed without hesitation. Since then, the first direct knights of Kingston have been born, and the mission of these knights is to protect the property of Kingston people and maintain the sacred dignity of Kingston people from being violated.

Feeling that his life was seriously threatened, Aaron sent a message of recruitment to the mercenaries and caravans who stayed in Kingston. However, there were very few responders, and no one believed that a small lord was capable of resisting the combined attack of two giants in this troubled world, not to mention the countless hungry and ferocious tigers and leopards around him.

Kingston's population has dropped to less than 30,000 since the war, and the floating population has dropped from more than 200,000 to 60,000. This can be described as a double blow for Kingston, which does not have much military power. The fundamental reason why Kingston stands out from the crowd among Aragon's southern city-states is because of its economic cohesion and creativity. Now that Kingston's economy has plummeted, the city lords who used to be open to Kingston and have not harassed them are no longer thinking like that.

The division and turmoil of the Aragon Empire left Kingston without political protection, and the military as a continuation of politics did not form a solid force. It takes time to build a team, and it barely comes. Luckily, the Enchanted Forest was as calm as ever, and production in the cave was not disturbed much.

The production of thundering bombs has been put down, and the magic costume has been put on the itinerary in advance.
