king of the castle

Chapter 469 The Calm Before the Storm

Roger successfully returned to the territory through the limited portal. Seeing Te and Sophia suddenly appear, the others were both happy and secretly relieved. 【】Everyone who is close to Roger knows that Alonso III did not have good intentions in calling him to see him. Everyone is worried about his safety during this trip.Now that Roger has returned safely, everyone is naturally relieved.

But since Roger came back through the restricted portal, it must mean that he and Alonso III have fallen out.At this time, Alonso III must have known that the conspiracy had been revealed, and it was possible that military action would be taken against Kent soon.As the king of the Thorne Kingdom, Alonso III can use the entire country's army to attack Kent, this is no joke.Therefore, after rejoicing, everyone quickly put in harder work and prepared to confront the entire Thorn Kingdom.

In fact, Bikent Town is very prosperous now, and it has faintly become the second commercial center of the kingdom besides Mandos City. Only in a peaceful environment.After all, Kent Town and Kent County are too small in size and the population is not enough. If the Thorne Kingdom attacks with all its strength, the entire town will be destroyed soon.

But even though everyone knew this fact, they still had confidence in victory in the ensuing conflict.The reason why Anna and others have such confidence is entirely because of one person, and this person is undoubtedly Roger.

It was under Roger's leadership that everyone accomplished seemingly impossible feats.From leading everyone to escape from the Lund Peninsula occupied by undead creatures until now, Roger has been creating miracles, and everyone thinks this time is no exception.

Because of everyone's trust, and because Roger himself wanted Alonso III to be punished, he was under a lot of pressure.In order to defeat Alonso III, Roger has been actively preparing for the battle since he learned of his plot.Although there are so-called justice and axioms in the Turonzo world, only the strong are qualified to talk about them. All of this must be based on strength, otherwise it is completely empty talk.

For the current Roger, the most important strength is naturally the army.If there is an elite force with enough numbers, it will be able to fight against Alonso III.Roger has been letting the castle hub train soldiers recently. So far, he has more than 8000 armored pikemen, 200 half-armored swordsmen, 2 chain armored cavalry, [-] crossbowmen and more than [-] junior magicians. group of magicians.Roger's army now exceeds [-], and his ultimate goal is to double that number.

At that time, there will be [-] soldiers under Roger's command, which is not much different from the number of front-line troops in the Thorn Kingdom.But don't forget that these soldiers are all elite elites. They are equipped with the best weapons and armors. They don't have problems such as fatigue, fear, and low morale of ordinary soldiers. They will only obey Roger's orders and actively participate in the battle. The combat power is definitely worth several times that of ordinary soldiers.

And this time Roger is in a defensive battle, relying on the strong defense capabilities of the castle, even if he is besieged by ten times as many enemy troops, he doesn't have to worry about the danger of defeat.

Another important factor that determines the outcome is that Roger's soldiers are all iron men who can fight continuously without eating or sleeping.Warriors like this who never need to rest and eat, only know how to fight bravely are even more powerful than undead creatures, and they are definitely the dream subordinates of every commander.

However, looking back at Alonso III's army is completely different.These ordinary human soldiers will be tired and afraid. If the morale of the battlefield collapses, it is almost equal to losing the war.Moreover, ordinary human soldiers need a lot of material support when fighting. Soldiers' food and water, fodder for horses, arrows and other weapons and equipment must be prepared in advance, otherwise it is impossible to start fighting.

It was a big problem for Alonso III to transport all the supplies needed by a large number of soldiers to the remote Kent.Roger estimates that as long as the war lasts for a few months, the kingdom of Thorne will be dragged down. At that time, various chaos will occur in other parts of the kingdom, which will push Alonso III into a desperate situation.

In addition to training soldiers, Roger also invested part of his soul power in the construction of the castle.In fact, Roger has worked hard until now, and most of the castle has been built, only the magician's tower and the castle warehouse still have room for upgrading.

Right now, the tower of the magician has only two floors. If Roger can upgrade it to the third floor, he will be able to train super magicians, which will greatly enhance his strength.After the castle warehouse is upgraded, it can naturally hold more things. Although it cannot improve the combat effectiveness, it is also of great significance to Roger.

After all, when the war officially started, facing the superior force of Alonso III, Roger could only retreat to the castle and could not take care of the town of Kent. This newly built town would undoubtedly suffer a catastrophe.With Roger's current ability, he can't protect the entire town of Kent from the devastation of the war, but at least he can minimize the damage.Roger had already planned to put everything he could take away into the castle warehouse, not leaving even a single grain of wheat to the enemy.And to be able to hold so many things, the castle warehouse must be upgraded again after all.

In order to cope with the upcoming war, Roger had to train a large number of soldiers and build two castle buildings at the same time, and his demand for soul power was astonishing.Fortunately, he killed nearly 30 undead creatures on the Lund Peninsula some time ago. There are also many super undead creatures such as death lords, and there are extremely powerful existences like liches. There is a lot of soul power, so I still try my best to hold on.As for the other materials needed to upgrade the castle buildings, businessman Bill Cage bought them for Roger at any cost in various parts of the mainland, so they were all enough.

After Roger returned to Kent Town through the limited portal, he stayed behind closed doors at the villa on the private island, concentrating on improving his own strength.Before he realized that his strength could not compete with the entire Thorn Kingdom, he hoped to maintain the current state of peace.

Due to various considerations, Alonso III wanted to suppress this matter, and did not immediately announce Roger's various "crimes" to the whole country.With this strange tacit understanding between the two sides, time passed day by day.And every day that passed, Roger's strength became stronger, and the situation became more favorable to him.Finally one day the right time came, and Roger first started to act.
