Although Leo's words were high-sounding, he knew in his heart that this was all about letting these Lorraine people withdraw from the royal city as soon as possible, as long as they no longer insisted on holding the royal city, then the success rate of Leo's poaching operation would be greatly increased.

No one noticed that after entering the royal city, the white-bearded mage beside Leo disappeared at some point, and the task of Mage Merlin was naturally to go to the Academy of Magic to persuade those mages to leave Lorraine and go to the south of the Varu Empire, only magicians can impress mages, and Mage Merlin's appearance is obviously more convincing than Leo and others.

In the face of the righteous and awe-inspiring Leo, the two princes who were not deeply involved in the world were naturally moved to almost regard Leo as a savior, and in an instant, Leo successfully won the trust of the two princes. Not only the two princes, but even the skilled Jalaman was impressed by Leo's fearlessness.

However, as the Minister of State, Jalaman was very sensitive to politics, and although he was moved by Leo, he still said with some doubts: "If we withdraw from the royal city, then where can we go? ”

"This Lord Jaraman doesn't have to worry, if it really doesn't work, we can retreat to the southern provinces of the Varu Empire, presumably the Parisians will not dare to be enemies of the Varu Empire, as long as they gain a foothold in the south of the Varu Empire, they can also gather the magicians loyal to Lorraine to rebuild the magician regiment and drive the Parisians out of Lorraine again. Compared with a veteran of officialdom like Jalaman, Leo seems a little immature, and as soon as these words came out, Jaraman was alerted to Leo's little abacus.

However, instead of exposing Leo's tricks to his face, Jalaman remained silent. After all, when the catastrophe is approaching, he also needs to plan for himself, and the escape to the south of the Varu Empire mentioned by Leo is also a feasible strategy.

"No, how can we abandon our people and escape alone, we must live and die with our royal city and our people!" said Prince Pique and Nick, who are twin brothers, in unison.

Leo had already expected that things would not go so smoothly, and it was inevitable that he would be opposed, but Leo smiled unhurriedly and said: "I didn't let the two princes abandon their people, we don't want to see the people of Lorraine fall into war, and we don't know how those Parisians will treat those civilians, so what we have to do is to call on all the people to evacuate to the north as much as possible, and do our best to protect everyone's lives." ”

Like a big bad wolf trying to persuade the lamb to get out of the sheepfold, Leo tried to convince the two princes that he was on Lorraine's side, and did his best to think of them and gain their trust.

Hearing Leo say this, it seemed to make some sense, and the two princes, Peake and Nick, turned their eyes to the Minister of State, Jalaman, to ask for his opinion. Jaraman looked at the two princes and the Marquis of Leo with some embarrassment, as a minister trusted by the king, Jalaman wanted to expose the trap in Leo's words very much, but Jalaman had to think about himself and his family, if he really defended the royal city, then what was waiting would be destruction, and everything he had under Paris's iron hooves would be in vain.

"Your Royal Highness, what Marquis Leo said is also reasonable, after all, our magician group has failed, and we no longer have enough strength to defend the royal city and the cities in the north of the kingdom, and temporarily use the protection of the Varu Empire to gather loyal people to retake Lorraine, which is also a helpless way. Jaraman sighed and said to the two princes against his will.

The princes, who were originally a little tempted by Leo's words, heard that even the Secretary of State agreed, so they didn't object anymore, but Prince Nick frowned and said: "If you really want to be like Leo said, organizing the entire people to move north is not a trivial matter, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”

"My prince, now we are in a race against time, everything must be completed before the people of Paris react, otherwise once the three knights of Paris complete the siege of the royal city, they will not be able to leave even if they want to. While scaring the two princes, Leo struck while the iron was hot: "In this case, I will bring my soldiers to guard the royal city, and the two princes and Lord Jaraman are responsible for organizing the retreat of the people of Lorraine, and I will do my best to buy time for you." ”

Leo's impassioned words touched the princes, and Pique and Nick said excitedly: "Thank you very much, honorable Marquis Leo, you have received the friendship of Lorraine by your noble deeds, and we will remember all your contributions, and we will definitely repay you." ”

In the gratitude of the two princes, Leo smiled goodbye to them and went to the city wall to organize the defense of the city, if he didn't leave, I am afraid he really couldn't hold back his smile. After Leo left, Jalaman sighed in his heart, it was not the right time for King Fairman to fall, and now with these two innocent princes who have not been deeply involved in the world, the Kingdom of Lorraine may really be eaten alive by the two evil wolves Paris and Valu, and it is time to plan for himself.

Under Jalaman's inaction, Leo successfully fooled the two princes, and on the other side, Mage Merlin came to the Academy of Magic, and with his mastery in the fields of divination, astrology, change, etc., he also successfully shocked the magicians of the Lorraine School of Magic, who had lost several fifth-order and fourth-order great magicians one after another.

At this moment, when the High Mages were all defeated by the Wizards, and the dragons in the Academy of Magic were leaderless, Mage Merlin successfully fooled the mages who were in constant fear, making them realize that only by escaping from this war-torn place could they save their precious magical civilization.

When the evacuation order issued by the two princes was sent to the Academy of Magic, the magicians accepted the order without resistance, and packed up valuable magic books, experimental equipment and various resource materials at an unprecedented speed.

Even the magicians were preparing to evacuate, and this situation made the common people feel even more panicked, and under the organization of the princes and ministers, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled who really couldn't walk, almost all the people of the royal city were packing up and migrating north one after another.

I don't know when I will be able to return to Lorraine, but although I am reluctant to give up on the place where I grew up, but in the end, life is important, and at this critical moment, the people of Lorraine are extremely united to support each other and run to the north.
