Don't call me evil god

Chapter 827: Leading in three lines, the advantage is mine

The few days before the monster red tide arrives are the most difficult.

Because no one knows exactly when this disaster will strike.

It would be too late to mobilize manpower to defend when the monsters emerge from the dark forest like a tide.

What if the evil gods find a perfect timing and launch a sneak attack when the main players go back to rest?
Therefore, defenses must be deployed in advance near the approximate outbreak times of previous years.

Stay on the defense line. There are no monsters to fight, but you can't leave easily. It's best to eat and sleep near the defense line.

Pete and the others were a little bored and could only relieve their boredom by chatting.

The topic is naturally related to interesting things that happened recently.

First, the "unlucky" Prince Vladin was mentioned.

"You certainly didn't see what happened!" Pete couldn't help laughing when he recalled his brother Bacon's description.

"Your Highness had already 'hid his identity', put on makeup, changed his clothes, and planned to sneak over to the diversion line to participate in the battle."

"In the end, he was caught by Archmage Alcandas, who arranged for six arcane life forms to hold him up and forcefully throw him into the portal!"

The companion was curious when he heard this: "Ah? There is such a thing? When?"

Pete grinned and said, "Three days ago, Archmage Alcandas came to the Ceylon border to help set up a temporary [portal] array for the Mage Corps to use."

"After the magic circle was completed, he went to find Prince Fradin."

"The prince has a magic scroll of [Teleportation] that can send him directly to the City of Stars. That thing was given to him by Archmage Alcandas."

"The scroll is genuine, but the Archmage cast a magic spell called "Tracking" on it, so he can find Prince Fradin at any time by following the location of the scroll."

"And then what? The Archmage found His Royal Highness the Prince, and then what happened?" Brandon listened intently and asked hurriedly.

"What else can we do?" Pete spread his hands and said with a smile, "The Archmage came to tell the King that he wants Fradin to go back to the capital with him. His Majesty doesn't want him to stay at the border during the Red Tide of Monsters."

"His Royal Highness was unwilling, but the Archmage raised his hand and waved it. Six arcane life forms over two meters tall lifted him up, one in front and one behind, two on the left and two on the right, and threw him into the portal back to the capital."

"I guess he's probably sulking in the palace right now."

Several people laughed.

They knew something about Prince Fradin.

The other party had finally obtained the blessing of Nowen, and after suffering a lot, he was promoted to a 4th-level warrior professional. Now it was time for him to show his skills.

As a result, His Majesty the King did not give Fradin the opportunity to perform and directly sent the archmage to call him back.

"Think positively," Gale thought for a moment and consoled with a smile, "Although the capital is safe, we can't let our guard down."

"Your Highness can be responsible for leading the palace guards and the remaining guards over there. After all, maintaining the safety of the Sanctuary Plain is also important!"

"Now is the time of the year when the defense force of the Holy Land of Glory is at its weakest."

"Almost all the royal army and noble professionals have been mobilized to the border. It seems that the Crusaders are also deployed on an unprecedented scale this year, right?"

Miranda confirmed Gail's statement:
"Is such that."

"Archbishop Harris Eugene and the Five Saints of Radiance have personally led the Crusaders to the Territory of Kalezi to resist this year's red tide of monsters. They will take over and be in charge of the border defense line there."

"This happened more than half a month ago. They even participated in the New Year celebrations held there."

"So, the only top force left in the Glorious God Cult in the capital should be the old pope. However, he is already very old and may not have much power."

Brandon thought about it, then analyzed it by counting on his fingers:

"Eh?" "Look, the situation this year seems to be much better than in previous years!"

"Although His Majesty the King said that the dragon sent a warning, this time the monster red tide will be more dangerous than before."

"But our defense has improved by more than a little bit!"

“Not to mention the Earldom of Kalezi, the Five Saints of Radiance are leading the team personally. If they join forces to use the sixth-level magic to wipe out the ground, the monster will never be able to cross the line of defense. It is so stable that it cannot be more stable!”

"The situation in Nochima Territory is also quite good. I heard that His Excellency the Marquis has repaired and reinforced the defense line and recruited a lot of militiamen nearby. The defense force is more than one level stronger than in previous years."

"It seems that we have a great advantage here!"

Brandon chuckled and said, "Even if we can't kill all the monsters that attack the Ceylon border, it shouldn't be too much for us to clear out 4% to 5% of them in advance, right?"

"This is equivalent to halving the pressure on the Ceylon defense line."

"The three border territories have all seen huge improvements compared to previous years!"

"Since we have been able to successfully survive the monster red tide in the past, there should be no problem this year."

“What a huge advantage!”

Pete was slightly emotional.

"I can't say what the situation will be like in the other two border territories. After all, I don't know much about them, but the Ceylon Territory has indeed changed a lot this year."

He and Gail are locals.

Their feelings were actually more pronounced than Brandon's.

Before the arrival of the monster red tide in previous years, it was not just the border defense line that was in tension.

The impact on border towns will be even more significant.

Those with capital, especially merchants, would try to go west to Fenton County, or to other nobles, to relatively safe places to spend the winter and close their shops.

Wait until the monster red tide ends and all the monsters that have rushed into the kingdom are almost wiped out before coming back.

Therefore, business will decline significantly in winter.

There were few shops open in the town, and pubs were closed in large numbers.

The locals who have no ability can only find ways to protect themselves.

Because of those small gaps in the barrier of [Past Glory], some monsters will always rush into the kingdom when a disaster breaks out, and the first place to suffer is the town where people gather.

Everyone could only count the days, waiting for the bloody sun to appear, hiding in cellars dug in the wild in advance, or crawling into secret caves in the mountains, shivering in hunger and cold, waiting for the disaster to end, and then risking their lives to come back to see if their homes had escaped the disaster.

Hiding at home is absolutely not an option.

Doing so would only attract the attention of monsters and easily bring disaster.

But this year the situation is very different!
Perhaps it was because of the strong protection of the Dawn City walls.

Most people have reached a consensus:
"Dawn City is safe!"

"This place won't be invaded by monsters. You can live a normal life in the city without worrying about your home being destroyed or polluted by dangerous monsters!"

Especially in business.

The contrast with previous years is extremely obvious.
