"Summoning the Templar Knights again?" asked the Secretary of the Interior cautiously.

"But I only vetoed their request for more garrisons last month, so how can I ask for it now?" said Ahlers III, clutching his head and grimacing.

"Then we can only let the Royal Knights and the Mage Regiment cooperate, so it should be no problem to defend the inner city. ”

Ales III said with some frustration: "The royal knights suffered heavy casualties in the last war, and now more than half of the knights in the regiment are former apprentices, and the mage regiment is not damaged, but the scrolls and potions stored in the past have been consumed relatively largely, and the combat effectiveness has dropped significantly." ”

"So, what should we do now?" The Home Secretary is also helpless, there are no soldiers, no generals, no supplies, how should this battle be fought?

"Alas, you can only be cheeky to find the temple and unite everyone's strength, otherwise the citizens of the outer city will be swallowed by the demons sooner or later.

I don't think the temple will let their followers be slaughtered by demons like this, will they?" said the king, somewhat uncertain.

"Why don't you summon some fiefdom nobles to the royal city?" The Minister of the Interior was a little unbearable when he saw that the king was going to be cheeky and beg for the people of the temple.

"It has already been convened once this year, and if it is convened again, all the costs must be borne by the royal family, and if someone dies, the royal family will have to compensate for it, in case there is a nobleman who is mad and kills himself, the royal family will easily go bankrupt. The king shook his head and dismissed the idea.

"It's easy to solve, just mortgage the land or mines, anyway, the northern mountains are thousands of miles away, and those lands should have been owned by the royal family. "When the Home Secretary speaks of his own business. You can come up with a solution in no time.

Ahlers III closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, then finally sighed and said, "I'm still thinking about whether there is any other way."

Bentinkeqing. You first go and discuss with the Minister of Military Affairs about arranging the defense of the city, and the reserve of supplies is clear. ”

Bentinke saw that the king still did not want to give up the land he held in his hands for the time being. I also sighed slightly in my heart, it's time to do it without dividing the land, what to do in my hands, in case the royal city is breached, as soon as people die, there will be nothing.

However, he could not force the king to divide the rights and interests in his hands, in case any rumors spread that he was persecuting the king, it would be over.

Come to think of it. Bentinke bowed slightly, and said to the king, "The minister will go and arrange the defense of the city first." With that, he slowly exited the hall.

At this time, on the outskirts of the royal city, there was an underground secret room.

Four men dressed in black with hoods on their heads were talking about these things.

"Are you sure this is His Highness's order, do you really want to play so big?" one of the tall men in black roared in a low voice.

"This is a warrant, with the holy power of His Highness in it, you can see for yourself. The other man in black silently took out the object in his hand and handed it to his companion who was roaring.

"It's not that you can't do it, anyway, as long as you don't get caught by that one on the spot. The rest of us can't do anything to us, it's a big deal to destroy this body. The other man in black seemed to agree with something.

The last man in black who didn't speak couldn't bear it anymore, he clapped his palms and said, "If His Highness personally gives an order, we have to do it if we don't do it." Can you still disobey the order? Just flash people as soon as you finish it. ”

"It may be that His Highness has taken a fancy to something in this, doesn't it often say that it wants to slaughter gods, and it may have to take something back to study first. "The man who roared at the beginning read the warrant. The tone also calmed down, analyzing the reasons why their owners did this.

"Then it's decided. Carry out a lot of infiltration first, anyway, now the gap in the outer city has been opened. When the number of infiltrations reaches a certain level, we can directly sacrifice and let His Highness take what he wants. In the end, it was the man in black who took out the warrant to decide the outcome of the discussion.

A few days later, thousands of miles away in the Black Iron Port.

Now that Ades is being pestered by Molly, the noble lady knows that among the trophies captured by the goblin tribe, there is a way to extract pure iron from pyrite, and immediately transforms into a big businessman, and begins to think about how to maximize the profits.

"You say it's a magic reactor, it's the core component of a magic furnace, and can the furnace on the volcanic island be modified like this?"

Molly's question was dumbfounded, he hadn't really thought about it.

"In addition to pyrite, can copper ore be refined like this? You must know that there is also a copper mine in your territory, and some ores with relatively low copper content are discarded, and you have seen it yourself, those waste ores containing trace amounts of malachite can be used to pave the way, if this reactor really has such an artifact, can you refine those malachite? You must know that it is a magic material. ”

Molly continued to open her mind, and Ades blinked, and suddenly took out a pen and paper from the space container and recorded what Molly said.

"It's such an amazing idea of yours, how can you think of it on malachite? I'm going to tell Nancy about this idea, and I hope to really find out something. "Adès had to admire Molly, this kind of businessman's thinking is unmatched, and water can be squeezed out of the stone.

"If this happens, we will send it, and many mineral deposits contain a small amount of gem crystals, but because the cost of mining and refining is too high, they are basically discarded.

Take diamonds as an example, I know that there are still some fine diamond particles in the rocks, but the price to pay to refine them is too high, so they are all treated as waste mines, if you ......" Ades was guided by Molly's mind to countless ideas, diamonds, gold in river sand, heavy metals in the seabed silt.

Just as the two money fans were complementing each other's thoughts, Anna hurriedly walked in, and slapped the parchment in her hand on the table: "The royal family has changed its mind and will not send anyone." ”

"Huh?" said Adès and Molly in surprise at the same time.

"They are going to recruit us, let's send an elite squad to the royal capital to fight!"

"Go to the royal capital, what kind of battle?"

"Oh, this long letter from the teleportation array said that the royal capital has been broken by demons again, and the outer city has fallen, and now the royal family is organizing people to defend the inner city, which will be broken at any time. Anna was a little embarrassed to make it simple.

Molly stretched out her hand, picked up the parchment, and looked at it.

Adès mutters to himself, "How did this happen so quickly?" (to be continued......)
