Because the groom suddenly ran away, the wedding ended in vain.

Just as everyone was searching for this bastard who dared to abandon the queen and found another new love, Lance had already returned to the abyss with a new batch of supplies.

The long-awaited demon tide finally broke out with some preparation.

Of course, the initial transformation was not so violent, because it was a seasonal transformation, and it was a gradual step-by-step approach. In recent days, the number of monsters wandering between the three counties ruled by Lance has increased significantly. Fortunately, the city walls that Lance began to build in the season of Eternal Darkness have been completed one after another. It is obviously not easy for those low-level monsters to cross more than ten meters high in the city wall to invade the city, not to mention the turret standing on the wall.

The result of the stable situation is that the people's emotions have become more stable. If it were put in the past, casualties had begun to occur in the counties during this period. Now, people are grateful for their lives so safely, and their work is becoming more and more hardworking. However, compared with the people, it is definitely impossible for the senior officials of Lance and others to relax at this time. They have shown the momentum of facing a great enemy to deal with the possible disasters that may occur in the future.

Now, the portals of the four counties, Guruling, Black Valley, Feronte and Dongmen County, have been opened. The number of times the leaders of all parties gathered to have meetings has become more frequent as they officially enter the season of the Demon Tide.

Especially recently, Lance himself is not in the abyss and all the affairs are left to his subordinates, so it is very necessary to understand the current situation.

"Mr. Lance," the first person to report on his work was Mosen. As Lance's aide, the finance minister of Gollerling and Feront County, Mosen's contacts were mainly concentrated on people's livelihood and economy. It is the basis of all structures. After all, those civilians have to eat enough to work for you. The materials brought back by Lance from the human world can be just hooked, so it is reasonable to be the first to stand up to explain.

He only heard him say: "The situation is developing well now. The materials in the human world can be said to have filled our vacancy well. With a certain amount of new labor force, our urban defense work has been completed quickly."

"Has the turret been built?"

"The effective range of the turret is between 30 meters and 180 meters. We have built a turret every 100 meters as you told me, and now it has been assembled." Mosen replied.

Lance nodded with satisfaction. Lance had actually seen the part of the city wall before, but the so-called city defense naturally cannot be just a wall. He also had to dig out a moat, build turrets around the city wall, and send a certain amount of troops to garrison.

In fact, if the turret was not too expensive, Lance would have built one 10 meters away. When the battle started, the black firepower covered it, so that the opponent's head could not be lifted.

"How is the restoration work done in the city?" Lance asked again.

When it comes to this, Mosen's expression is a little bitter. In the season of Darkness, everything is given priority to defense affairs, and there is little progress in the renovation and restoration work. After all, money and manpower are limited, and when it cannot be taken into account, Mosen only gave minimal security investment in this - many people are still living together in a mixed manner. As for the large-scale collapsed houses in the Goblin disaster, they still fell there intact. No one paid attention to it.

However, the biggest difference between the abyss and the human world is that if humans are dissatisfied with their situation and accumulate countless pressures, they might explode, just like the revolution that happened in the Asbellude Kingdom not long ago. But in the abyss, the probability of such things is so low that it is negligible.

This is a place where the strong prey on the weak. Although there will be various intrigues and wars, it belongs to the strong. The huge gap between a demon servant or mixed human being and a demon almost eliminates their sense of confrontation. This feeling is unique. If we talk about it further, it is the current situation of harmonious coexistence between the six lords of the Abyss Kingdom. If it is placed before the devil king unified the kingdom, it will be a situation of melee, but no one is moved now. It is not that they have no ambitions, but that they are just a demon king who is stronger than anyone else.

At present, the livelihood level of Gululing and other counties is not low in the abyss. At least, they can get an average. Lance's previous question was just a casual question. After hearing Mosen's vague answer, he knew his difficulties and stopped struggling and jumped to the next question.

"How are the training situations in each department now?" Lance asked.

This time, Mosen sat down, changed into Heigang and spoke.

"Young Master, the training progress of each unit has been well completed, especially the infantry battalion has achieved results, and we also tried our best to organize ordinary civilians to participate in militia training. However, because we really don't have any foundation, it may not work if we really fight. However, at least we have some basic skills and common sense to deal with the enemy."

At this time, Ma Wei interrupted. He first reported the situation of Black Valley County in his jurisdiction like Heigang. However, he put forward different opinions on the issue of militia training: "I think it's enough to train militias to the point. It's enough to have the ability to protect themselves when they encounter attacks. Anyway, they don't expect them to fight in real wars. If they have too much training, it's easy to increase hidden dangers. It's better to focus on increasing city defense."

Mawei's view is still very insightful. The militia really cannot play a big role in the battlefield, and the investment is more profitable but not much. It is better to use all these young and strong men as laborers and work on construction with peace of mind.

When killing the dog kowtowers before, the city defense that Lance emphasized finally showed a powerful effect, blocking a large number of dog kowtowers under the city without any impetuous progress, which allowed Ma Wei and Heigang to successfully wipe out the other side. Considering that Yongnan, which had no danger, has become so aggressive, it can be foreseeable that the monsters under the next demon tide will only be more powerful and perverted, so it is still necessary to further strengthen the city defense.

Hey, you asked if there are already city walls and forts, how can you add them?

Did Lanli City’s layout just explain this issue soon?

But now the construction is based on that scale, and it is too late to complete in time and manpower. So Lance and the others must settle for the second best. Just like even if the inner city and outer city distribution like Lanli City cannot be completed, Lance and the others can establish some shelters at the intersection of the city's main roads for the people to escape, and build some defensive buildings such as bunkers and towers to facilitate the army to garrison after the fall of the outer city.

Lance and the others discussed this point. I thought it was feasible, so Lance immediately made a decision and asked Mosenmawei and others to assign it to implement it later.

Speaking of this, Lance was really a little curious. He turned to Baron Ankasa, who had never had a chance to speak, and asked, "Baron, I heard that you were a hero who participated in the human war 90 years ago. Is it true?"

"Yes, talking about that war. Tsk tsk, I led our demon army to win consecutive battles and help Lord Lord capture many cities," said Ankasa, who had just been cowardly, just now, became energetic, but he suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was. He quickly coughed and restrained his exaggerated expression, and his tone became respectful: "Well, I just don't know why Lord Lancelot asked about this?"

Lance waved his hand: "Don't be nervous. I'm just curious."

If you say it, the baron, who was obviously in the military power, was afraid that the county magistrate who was more than a few rounds younger than him, would be afraid of the mouse and the cat to see a cat, but the group of people present felt that they could understand his feelings. After all, to a large extent, the Dongmen County controlled by the baron has now become a vassal of the three counties of Lance, which feels like the acting county magistrate Mavie. And he himself is more like a dog-legged player than loyal to the Demon King and the Lord.

After taking a sip of the tea brewed by Layla, Lance asked, "Since you have participated in that war, do you know how much impact the Gate of Time and Space has on the Demon Tide?"

In fact, in terms of experience, many people in the abyss have experienced that magic tide. After all, 90 years are not long for abyss species. For example, older young men like Guer have experienced that stage. However, when the disaster broke out, the timid he only knew to hide in his tightly defended home, and could tell the scene outside. Lance asked many people in succession, but the answers he got were not clear and terrifying.

But in fact, the impact of the time and space gate on the abyss was not strong, and it was even far from that time. During the Eternal Dark Season, several waves of monster invasions had occurred. Moreover, the A-level elites such as the Goblin King and the Boarhead, were actually not low in their calculations.

If you put it in the past, it would be easy to flatten a village.

But it is precisely because of these examples that Lance saw some tricks from it. Obviously, these creatures are species in the abyss and usually have no sense of existence in normal times. However, due to the magic disorder caused by the Gate of Time and Space, they change one by one, which causes monsters to harass and siege the city.

From this perspective, in the current season of the Demon Tide, the intensity of this monster will continue to increase and its frequency will become more frequent.

Lance therefore wanted to refer to the methods used by the kingdom to deal with this great demon tide, but the Baron's answer was a little confused: "Lord Lancelot, I think you might have made something wrong."

“What is it?”

Ankasa's face clearly flashed a little hesitation, but he was determined to say it: "In fact, the impact of the last time and space gate on the demon tide was very small, because when the time and space gate appeared, it was the silent season after the demon tide passed, and there was no magic disorder at all. By the time the next round of demon tide arrived, the time and space gate had been quite stable. The real reason for the turbulence of that year was actually because of the attack of the underworld attack. They thought that the failure of His Highness to conquer the human world was an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, and they inserted a knife from behind us. Of course, we were completely crippled by us in the end, and His Highness, who was already angry, even hit the other party's hometown. But you also know that their creatures are like monsters. As long as they accumulate the power of shadow, they will be reborn, and the bad weather there is really not suitable for us to occupy..."

Lance reached out to interrupt the baron's nonsense. He suddenly realized something, but hesitated: "According to your words, this magic wave is unprecedented?"

"Maybe there had been any earlier, but the Abyss Kingdom was not unified. Lord Lancelot, do you know the Ashes Plain?"

Lance nodded mechanically. It was the most marginal no-man's land on the eastern edge of the Kingdom. Lance had never been there, but I heard that it was not just a barren land. The land was scorched earth, with poisonous gas floating, and no creature could survive there. It is said that even the undead without breathing would be corroded by special substances there. After completely rotting, it disappeared along with the fire of the soul. It was a real dead domain.

"It's there. There was a kingdom that once came, but it was destroyed by the demon tide at that time."

This made Lance gasp. It seemed that he underestimated the horror of this demon tide. (To be continued...)
