Chapter 253: Preparing for War (I)

"Uh...... Let's go back!" Lynn was stunned when he heard that the whole army was annihilated, although he thought that his arrangement would cause huge casualties to the Holy See army, but Lynn didn't expect to let the million Holy See army be wiped out, which was really a little surprising, but in order not to let everyone find out, Lynn gave the order to return, and everyone immediately helped Lynn into a big carriage and returned to Wikiport.

In fact, there were only more than 600,000 Holy See soldiers who died under the self-explosion of the ten fighters, and most of the rest were burned to death because of the smoke of the fire. Lynn only sighed, and did not feel guilty, after all, as long as he was a member of the Holy See, he could be regarded as his enemy. Of course, the more you die, the better.

March 1, 1000 A.M., Port Vicky, Lord's Palace, Black Castle.

Outside the city lord's study, Clark, Darlov, and Lynn were all looking at the scenery in the distance, ten days had passed since the Ice Demon Forest fire, according to later statistics, more than 1.1 million Holy See troops, except for more than 80,000 people of the First Legion led by Sauron, survived, and the rest of the more than 1 million Holy See troops were all buried in the Ice Demon Forest.

Paladin Leonidas did not die, the residents of Port Wiki found him in the ruins, and after realizing that he still had intuition, they moved Leonidas, who was as charred as barbecue, back, of course, with Leonidas's appearance at the time, no one recognized him at all, the residents of Wikiport only thought that he was an unlucky and lucky Papal soldier, and in the end, a dozen or so high-ranking priests who stayed in the teleportation array found the fragments of the paladin left on Leonida's body. only to recognize this as Leonidas. They are handsome, tall, and mighty paladins!

Lynn heard that Leonidas was not dead. I deliberately ran to see it, but I just shook my head afterwards and said, "I'm afraid I can't recognize him like this, right? Oh, I must not recognize him!" Lynn's words were unanimously approved by everyone, and Lynn could roughly guess why Leonidas became like this, ten high-level fighters are mechanical and dull, and they will prioritize eliminating the most threatening targets. And Leonidas, obviously, unfortunately became the target of the greatest threat, and it is impossible to say that he was blown up by the self-explosion of the high-level fighter Qì man!

If Leonidas could still speak, and knew what Lynn was thinking, he would have yelled, "Damn, how do you know?"

It's a pity that Leonidas was just like a dead man, being held by a dozen high-ranking priests in a hurry and entering the teleportation array. He left immediately, presumably sending Leonidas back to the Holy See for treatment. However, to cure Leonidas, it should be very difficult even for the Holy See, whose hands and eyes are open to heaven.

On the third day after Leonidas' departure, the Holy See belatedly sent a team of black-clad agents to arrive, and these black-clad agents were all over Wikiport, trying to find out any clues similar to the deliberate murder of the Holy See Paladin by the Lord of Wikiport, but unfortunately, everyone was talking about how to go to the Ice Demon Forest that day to rescue the Holy See's army, and, according to them, Clark and his party were also unconscious at that time.

In desperation, the black-clothed agents of the Holy See could only rush to the Ice Demon Forest to investigate, but, unfortunately, they were destined to find nothing, because that day, after rescuing Lynn and others, the fire of the Ice Demon Forest swept again, and finally, it spread into an extremely terrifying fire, burning the entire Ice Demon Forest, and the temperature of Wikiport rose several degrees out of thin air, and the fire burned for three days and three nights, and after burning one qiē, it was slowly extinguished.

When the black-clothed agents of the Holy See arrived, they didn't feel anything except the hard mud that was still hot on the ground, and as far as the eye could see, there were black ashes after the fire, not to mention, the place within a radius of thousands of miles was not something that dozens of their agents could investigate, so after a hasty investigation, the black-clothed agents returned to Port Wiki.

After issuing the news that Clark was strictly secretive about the destruction of the Holy See's million-strong army, the black-clothed agents returned to the Holy See with a crying face, and with them, there were also General Sauron and his First Legion, because most of the Holy See's army group stationed on the Via Peninsula died in the Ice Demon Forest, so the power of the Holy See on the Via Peninsula was already in the weakest period in history, and the Holy See had to let Sauron return immediately, and quickly rebuild the Northern Army Group with the First Legion as the team, because he was the only legion commander who survived and had rich combat experience, plus Sauron also had a lot of connections in the Holy See, so, Zoro was promoted to the supreme commander of Army Group North.

I don't know if this is a typical portrayal of the great calamity and the blessing of the future, but Sauron himself is quite happy, of course, for the loss of the Holy See, Sauron still sincerely expressed heavy condolences.

As for Leonidas, after going back, there was no more news, through the channel of Guò Sauron, Lynn and the others learned that there was a big quarrel within the Holy See, and the general content was that the people of the Frost Family thought that the Holy See should send troops to raze the entire Wikiport to the ground, because in Wikiport actually almost let a paladin fall, and the Holy See lost a million troops, the people of the Frost Family all agreed that Wikiport is a blasphemous place and should be destroyed and purified!

However, the Frost Family's madness to destroy Wikiport was vetoed by the other eleven families, and among the twelve holy families, the Flame Family, which was very wrong with the Frost Family, said bluntly that it was precisely because of Leonidas' arrogance that led to the destruction of the Holy See's million-strong army, and it should be Leonidas who was punished. Then, the twelve families had a war of words, and as for the destruction of Wikiport, it was quickly forgotten.

When Clark learned from Sauron that his Wikiport was almost destroyed, he almost collapsed, and then looked at Lynn viciously for a long time before letting out a long sigh. If the Holy See really decides to destroy Wikiport, Wikiport will definitely be destroyed, not to mention other forces, let's just say that the tens of millions of Holy See troops stationed in various places by the Holy See are definitely not something that Wikiport can resist, and in front of the behemoth of the Holy See, Wikiport is as fragile as an ant, which may be crushed to death at any time.

"It's still too weak!" said Clark with a long sigh outside the study, on the windowsill.

However, after a moment, Clark's eyes suddenly burst into a strong dazzling light, and he said heavily: "So, we must arm ourselves with all our might! Dalov, starting tomorrow, we will expand the dragon army to 50,000 and the city guard to 100,000. Brother Brian, I need 500,000 bronze-level dragon potions every month, as well as 50,000 silver-level sets and 100,000 top-grade bronze sets, can you do that?"

Dalov took the order, and Lynn said with a smile: "As long as you have gold coins, Lord City, Brian can provide you with what you need, in addition, holy liquid, elixir, and power potions, I think you also need them, City Lord!

"Hahaha, gold coins, it's not a problem! I have to store a large amount of holy liquid at all levels, let's store a small amount of elixir, let's get 10,000 bottles of power potion first, I want to form a magic cavalry brigade, let that Doyle be the captain! Detail, Brian, you can discuss it with Dalov!" Clark thought for a while, and the Doyle mage, who made his impression, served as the captain of the magic cavalry brigade.

Lynn smiled brightly, because the more things Clark wanted, it meant that the more gold coins he earned, 500,000 bronze-level dragon potions, 100 gold coins per bottle, this is 50 million gold coins, 50,000 sets of silver sets, 2,000 gold coins for each set, right? This is another 100,000,000 gold coins, as for 100,000 sets of high-grade bronze sets, for Clark's sake, it is good to receive 500 gold coins per set, which is 50 million gold coins. 10,000 bottles of power potions, 1,000 gold coins per bottle, and 10 million gold coins, as for a large amount of holy liquid and elixir, how can there be a reserve of hundreds of millions of gold coins to meet the needs of the 150,000 army!

This is simply calculated, Lynn collected more than 300 million gold coins, because these things are made by the Holy Elder, so, in addition to the cost of raw materials, Lynn almost made more than 200 million gold coins, how can this not make Lynn happy? It's just a few hundred million gold coins, for the Wiki family, it's really not a lot of money, according to Clark's grand plan, this is just the first step, and in the future, the goal of Wikiport is to build an empire!!

As for why Clark expanded his army so frantically, in addition to being frightened by the huge power of the Holy See, but also because of the threat of the three major city-states around Wikiport, originally, the three major city-states wanted to attack Wikiport, and there was still more than half a year to prepare, but with a fire in the Ice Demon Forest, the three major city-states immediately accelerated their preparations for attacking Wikiport, leaving less than three months for Wikiport to prepare.

Originally, if the three major city-states wanted to attack Wikiport, they had to bypass the Ice Demon Forest, the natural barrier of Wikiport, but now the Ice Demon Forest no longer exists, and the three major city-states can directly pass through the ruins of the Ice Demon Forest, and the troops can be directed at Wikiport, and the number of troops that can be dispatched has also been greatly increased, so it is impossible for Clark not to expand his army crazily, and if he is not crazy, he will perish......!
