The dwarves brought a large amount of high-quality ore, and with the help of the dwarven blacksmith, they greatly enriched the weapons and armor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These dwarven craftsmen accelerated the construction of the town of Liema, and the development of the town was on the right track, strengthening the city walls, not only digging out the moat, but also setting up three rows of iron thorns to resist horse guns a few hundred meters away from the city wall.

As the days passed, groups of displaced people came to the town of Liema, and the manpower gradually became abundant, and then the living space began to run out.

Ivo wanted to tear down the interior walls, but on second thought, he didn't.

He divided the town of Liema into an inner and outer city, with the inner wall as the boundary, and the area that was once demolished into a vacant land was the outer city, and he settled the later displaced people in the outer city, allowing them to build their own camps and receive food through work.

He set the rules that the families of the displaced people who joined the guards could enter the inner city to live, and the other displaced people who wanted to enter the inner city had to pay their wealth.

This policy caused an uproar among a small number of displaced people, who had come all the way to hear the name of the town of Liema, expecting to have a comfortable life, but Ivo's policy had apparently frustrated their plans.

However, although most of the displaced people were dissatisfied, they did not have much opinion, after all, it was good to be protected by the city wall, not to mention food and cotton clothing.

Ivo has his own considerations, no matter how much supplies are limited, he can't supply them to the homeless in unlimited quantities, and he doesn't allow those who don't work hard to waste his resources.

In the war, every day passed in fear, Ivo was busy from morning to night, there were too many things to worry about, and the days passed quickly.

The situation in the outside world seems to have a stalemate trend, and the four armies of Lasses counterattacked like crazy, although they fought separately, but they all achieved results, and gradually fought against the invaders.

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the Rainy Month, the town of Liema welcomed a familiar group of refugees.

Hurricane Academy!

Hundreds of trainees, as well as instructors led by Polanko and Mapojav.

Ivo rushed outside the city gate and was pleasantly surprised: "You are still alive!"

Barlow laughed and gave Ivo a warm hug, "My partner, I'm glad to see you alive." ”

Ander said excitedly, "When we passed through the previous territory, we heard that you became the lord of Liema Town, so we came to look for you. ”

Hades bowed slightly.

The arrival of the Hurricane Academy was a shot in the arm for Ivo, and he was pleasantly surprised to learn that his friends had survived, and that these cadets were a new force that greatly strengthened the defense of Burning Horse Town.

After the last time he supported Fireplace, the news that he had become Lord of Burning Horse Town reached the ears of the lords of the West, and it was because of this that Hurricane Academy arrived.

After settling the tired Hurricane cadets, Ivo hurriedly pulled a group of friends and Principal Polanco into the conference room, and asked what he was most concerned about: "What the hell is going on in the royal capital, and how did you escape?"

Polanco sighed: "The Barians are like ghosts that suddenly appeared, the city of Lasses was completely unprepared, the whole city was in chaos at that time, the Barian army was like a red tide, engulfing the city of Lasses, Mapoyav and I organized the students, fled in the chaos, many of the students died and scattered, the city of Lasses has become a ruin, I don't know how many people escaped." ”

"Then we became fugitives, and we met many refugees along the way, and we also encountered many bandits and thugs, and these days are like nightmares, seeking refuge in every territory we pass through, but unfortunately they have limited supplies and refuse us, you won't drive us away." ”

Ivo laughed, "Don't worry, I have a lot of supplies here, and I only lack manpower." ”

Nafi asked worriedly, "Have you seen my family?"

Ender said weakly: "The Lynches Manor has been captured, I don't know what happened to them. ”

Nafei's face became even more worried, and Ivo touched her head soothingly when she saw this, and continued: "Overall, the town of Liema is relatively safe, but it is far from enough, and now the territory can only deal with some thugs, but as the battle situation deteriorates, we will inevitably encounter the fierce elite enemies such as the Reynolds, the Barians, and the Orcs, and we must take precautions." ”

"What do you want to do?"

Ivo knocked on the table, "We need more people, we need to expand our territory, I don't know how long the war will last, we have to find more resource gathering grounds, we also need to grow food, we can't be desperate for long, we have to plan for the long term." ”

His face was faintly excited, "I have a very good plan, but it needs to be done step by step. ”

......

With the Hurricane trainees joining, the talents in all aspects of Liema Town have also been supplemented.

With the abundant manpower, the town of Liema gradually began to expand, and with the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of people in the town, the lumberyards, quarries, fields and other logistics production sites were quickly established, including the help of hurricane magic students.

The territory expanded, more guards were needed, and the town now had 1,200 well-trained guards, 1,000 reserve recruits trained in combat, 100 dwarven heavily armored guards, 100 goat knights, more than 200 mercenaries with good force, and finally more than 600 hurricane cadets and mentors, and the armed forces were several times more than they were at the beginning.

The development was not all smooth sailing, the number of refugees gradually increased, there were also voices of dissatisfaction with the treatment of the problem, there were several riots, all of which were solved by Ivoenwi and Shi, handing out materials and suppressing them by the guards.

During this period, Liema Town encountered several mob attacks, the most dangerous one was almost breached by the city gate, but under the counterattack of various defensive facilities and guards, the attacking thugs eventually lost their lives, and gradually, fewer and fewer thugs dared to provoke Liema Town, and the town entered a period of safe and stable development.

Neburdan played the role of a faithful porter, and three-quarters of the resources of the Dark Eye were gathered in the town of Liema, and almost all the elite cultists lurked in the town according to Ivo's requirements.

However, the hidden danger finally broke out quietly.

During the night, Paro found Ivo.

"Your Excellency, the Archbishop is a little unhappy with you. ”

Ivo, who was exercising his combat skills, stopped his movements, wiped the sweat from his face, and wondered, "What is he dissatisfied with?"

"The Covenant of Faith," explains Palau, "the Archbishop regularly checks the progress of the mission, and the main text of the Faith Covenant appears with the names of all the signatories of the Covenant, and he is very dissatisfied when he finds that we have not signed a new covenant and that there is no mission. ”

Palau worried, "We have signed a contract of faith, and we will be subject to the archbishop, unless Lord Darkness can access the effects of the contract again. ”

Ivo thought to himself that the old man could break the contract, but he didn't care, "I will ask for the help of Lord Darkness to cancel the validity of the contract, until then, we can't be discovered by the archbishop, let the disciples sign it, we won't be able to turn against the archbishop for a while." ”

Paro nodded, and suddenly asked, "Lord Bishop, why don't we preach among the refugees?"

Ivo was stunned, caught a glimpse of Paro's flickering gaze, and his heart sank, knowing that he might be suspicious, coughed, and said lightly: "You are right, we want to preach among refugees, but not in the name of the dark eye, nor can we persecute others, but we must subtly instill in them the idea of the new order, we must quietly preach, this kind of thing cannot be rushed." ”

Paro breathed a sigh of relief and gladly accepted his order.

A few hours later, all the faithful had signed the faith contract, and the faith contract came to Ivo.

Ivo didn't think much about it, and let Lao De use the power of the high-ranking demon to follow the contract in the underworld, once again erasing the validity of the faith contract.

......

Abraham's continent, a gloomy basement.

The main book of the faith contract placed on the stone table suddenly filled with a thick black mist.

The archbishop made his way to the basement and silently watched the billowing black fog.

The black mist gradually turned into a dark mirror, and Ivo's face in the mirror flashed away, and the next moment, the black fog dissipated, and the faith contract dimmed.

The archbishop was silent for a moment and walked out of the basement.

Outside the basement, there is a grotto hall, with a statue of the Lord of Darkness in the center, and a group of worshippers kneeling on the ground, silently praying to the devil.

The Soul Hand Bishop walked up and whispered, "Archbishop, what's the arrangement?"

"Prepare a ship," said the archbishop lightly, "I'm going to Frigga." ”

The soul hand was shocked, and his eyes were slightly shocked.

"Traitor...... Got it. The archbishop's tone was not emotional, but the soul hand felt a chill to the bones (to be continued.) )
