Cecil's lord is like a full-power machine. When the command is issued, every part of the machine will run quickly. Not everyone knows what will happen next, but almost everyone knows what they should do at this moment. Clear commands and rules are the biggest reliance that distinguishes Cecil's lord from other noble territories. People only need to do things within their own scope according to the commands. This huge machine can run perfectly and burst out with the power that makes everyone shocked.

In just three days, the southern defense line of the territory was reinforced and built again. The large open area between the dark mountains and the city walls was set up with layers of roadblocks and fences, and minefields were spread among the roadblocks. Sixty percent of the thousands of soldiers were sent to the southern walls, and the remaining 40 percent were used as reserves and mobile forces to operate on the remaining defense lines. There were also security teams to maintain order in the territory and convey new orders from the lord at any time. Although a crisis was approaching, everything in the territory seemed orderly. This "everything is in control" atmosphere quickly calmed down the city's slightly panicked atmosphere.

The population of Cecil's territory increased explosively. A large number of foreign refugees had not experienced the first territory defense or the complete disaster exercise. Even if someone appeased them, they would inevitably fall into panic. Under normal circumstances, the nobles did not care whether these "untouchables" were in panic, because the only ones who trusted their own knights, mages and private soldiers. However, in Cecil's territory, the Government Affairs Department immediately issued clear instructions to everyone and allowed the security team to make uninterrupted situation announcements. The effect of these measures was surprisingly good, even the panicked new immigrants quickly moved into stability after receiving clear instructions from the upper level. This change surprised Hetty.

On the southern wall of the territory, Gao Wen was taking Hetty and others to check the layout of the final line of defense. When he heard the situation in the city reported by the affairs officer, he smiled and looked at Hetty: "After all, people's fear comes from the unknown. It is because they don't know what is going to happen that fear will magnify infinitely in their hearts. At this time, as long as you give them some clear news or even clear orders, they will easily settle down. Even if you ask them to move bricks together, they will feel at ease to deal with it, at least it means that the situation is still controllable."

At this time, a figure filled with the glory of arcane appeared on the city wall. The soldiers made way for a road. Kamair walked straight through the crowd and came to Gao Wen: "The two magical obelisks have been activated, and the entire wall has been covered by the magic field."

Gao Wen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work to add two obelisks in such a short time."

"Actually, the mechanical equipment you invented is very useful. I originally thought that it would be more difficult for me to make things in this era without the magic foundry of the Gondor Empire. Now the situation is much better than expected," Kamier said buzzingly, then slightly raised his body and looked at the entire wall. "This is really... a scene I have never seen before."

Heti, who was next to him, asked curiously: "Have you ever experienced the battlefield?"

"I am a researcher. Although I have practical experience as a mage, I have never experienced a real battlefield," Kamair admitted frankly. "And the era I lived in was the most powerful period of the Gondor Empire, and no country on the entire continent dared to go to war with us."

"Then you can witness what the battlefield looks like," Gao Wen smiled, "the battlefield of the new era."

"It just so happens that I'm curious about what the aberrations you mentioned," the arcane brilliance on Carmier's body seemed bright, "Would the monster appear in the magic tide... it should be of great research value."

Gao Wen nodded, then looked around, suddenly curious: "Where has Rebecca been? I haven't seen her since the beginning."

"She left the wall in the morning and said she wanted to go back and prepare the equipment for combat," said Hetty. "She is not very good at commanding, but it is still OK to act as firepower, so I let her go."

"Is the equipment used for combat..." Gao Wen blinked, "I don't know what that girl wants to do again..."

In the Lord's Mansion, in the "laboratory" arranged by Rebecca himself, a certain iron-headed baby is carefully combining a bunch of rune substrates.

As a third-level mage who only knows big fireballs and has no common sense in experiments, Rebecca does not have her own laboratory. However, after she showed her mathematical talent and made repeated contributions to inventions, Hetty relaxed the monitoring of this humanoid self-propelled fireball launcher. Rebecca secretly tinkered with a laboratory. In fact, she set up a workshop in the utility room of her suite. There were not many devices related to spells, but there were many mechanical processing devices, such as small drilling tables and machine tools. Here, Rebecca created a lot of useful and strange things.

Til's disk was in the corner of the laboratory, watching Rebecca connect the rune substrates together with red copper hinges, combine them into a wide metal band, and fix them on their bodies with hooks and straps. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you a new type of armor?"

"What armor? This is the battle mage amplifier I invented myself!" Rebecca tried hard to fix the rune substrates, while lifting her eyelids to look at Tyre who was yawning, "Why are you looking like you haven't woken up again? Didn't you say you're in an excited state? You have to be excited for a long time or something..."

"Missing the judgment, underestimating your laziness," Tyre stretched his long and lazy waist indifferently, and his tail tip trembled comfortably while stretching. "By the way, you are going to fight soon, right? At this time, you are still tossing toys here, aren't you afraid of being beaten by your grandfather-in-law?"

"What do you know? I'm preparing for combat!" Rebecca said with a serious face, and finally put the last lock of the "Combat Mage Amplifier". "But you, are you still planning to go back to sleep? You really won't go to the city wall to help?"

"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it..." Tyre was about to take a nap as he said, but he still tried hard to hold his eyelids. "By the way, what did you call me here... Isn't it just to find an audience to see how you tied yourself up with a weird iron belt, right?"

"Of course not. I asked you to help me as an insurance because I don't know how effective this amplifier can reach," Rebecca said, pressing his hand on a trigger device between the rune substrates. As she pressed the controller, all the rune substrates began to brighten one by one, "Look at it, I'll test it first..."

Tyr lazily looked at Rebecca as he picked up the staff beside him, lazily watched the other party rub a fireball, lazily... and screamed in shock: "What's your fireball?!"

On the southern city wall and the east extension, a special team of "city guards" were transporting a box of crystallized bombs to the tower where the catapult was located, while Saldrin stood aside to supervise the work of these soldiers.

They are the sixteen Tifeng soldiers who are still prisoners of war.

Taefeng Knight Barto bent down and placed the last crystallization bomb next to the catapult. Then he stood up and looked back at the direction of the town behind him.

In this high terrain, he could easily see most of the city and even see the place where he was once detained.

Today is the third day after leaving the cell, and as a Tifeng soldier, he has helped the Ansu people move masonry and ammunition boxes on this city wall for three days.

This is not something to be proud of, but as a prisoner of war, Barto knew that he didn't have much choice and he was lucky to be able to breathe fresh air outside the cell alive, not to mention that he was told that his work here was to fight against monsters from the wasteland of Gondor, not to fight against his compatriots, which was at least not too bad.

During the three days of brick-moving, Barto and his comrades did not forget to observe the surroundings, nor did they forget to seize every time to learn about this mysterious pioneering territory, the mysterious ancient duke and his mysterious new army. The more they understood, the more they felt surprised.

He originally thought that Ansu was a decadent and backward barbaric country, deeply trapped in the mud of recession, the aristocrats were corrupt and degenerate, the civilians were hungry and cold, the border was withered, and the internal undercurrents were surging. The domestic propaganda was so popular to the people, and the true information found by the soldiers of the Winter Wolf Legion on the border was the same. However, here, this Cecilian territory was completely incompatible with Barto's perception of Ansu.

He had never seen what the daily state of Cecil's territory looked like, but he had seen what the territory looked like after the alarm sounded. He saw that the territory was running with amazing efficiency, the army was mobilizing in an orderly manner, and actively preparing for war, and saw that various departments were closely coordinated without any shirks and delays. He saw that the management agency called the "Department of Government Affairs" was like the brain of the entire territory, constantly issuing orderly instructions, and commanding everything in an orderly manner. In the city, the originally chaotic, ignorant, numb and ignorant ignorant people were all like well-trained militias or knowledgeable citizens. Not only did they show any signs of turmoil, they supported the city's defense and maintained normal production and life, except for the long-term stopping work when they entered an emergency on the first day, the operation of the entire city was not affected by the state of war!

To be fair, Barto doesn't even think there is a city in Tifung that can do the same thing.

The more you observe, the more shocked Barto and his comrades will be. If Ansu develops like this in other places, is it still wise for Tifeng to go to war with him?

However, the knight's thoughts did not last, because a palpitation suddenly came to his heart.

With intuition guidance, he turned his head to look at the mountain barrier in the south of the city wall. In the powerful vision of the extraordinary, he saw an unknown black and red cloud of smoke rising from the junction between the mountain and the plain, and countless twisted and hideous figures appeared in it.

He heard one of his comrades muttering to himself: "What is that...what is that?!"

The most urgent alarm sounded on the city wall, and the sentries on the watchtower shouted loudly while ringing the bell:

"They are here!!"
