Losen went to Tussberg.
Then I saw Aikoli with a tired face.
At this moment, she had just finished encircling and wiping out the remaining forces in the castle.
He was resting in the castle. When he saw Luo Sheng coming, he immediately forced a smile on his face: "You're back."
Aikoli is now like a lady who is waiting for her husband to come home.
Luo Sheng gently held her hand and said, "You must have worked hard recently. There are so many old forces in this city. It must not be easy to eliminate them."
"Well, we encountered some trouble, but we still solved them perfectly. These people just have a large number, but their strength is very weak." Aikoli told the truth.
Tussberg is a big city-state.
There are about 100,000 people living there.
Although it is less than one-tenth of the size of the capital city, it is still a fairly large city within the kingdom.
After all, this is not the modern world, and it is impossible to build a community that can accommodate thousands of people.
They still live in relatively primitive stone brick and tile houses.
Therefore, a city with a population of 100,000 is almost a large city-state.
At this time, Mary Fate said: "Those people are very weak, but now, this is not the most important thing. Most of the residents in the city heard that this place would become a battlefield and ran away."
When Luo Sheng heard her words, he immediately became curious.
"How did they know this would become a battlefield?"
Mary Fate pouted and replied, "Who else could it be? Of course it's the Earl's forces that were previously entrenched in the city."
Ai Keli also nodded and explained to Luo Sheng: "This was the earl's territory before. He has been operating here for a long time, and the previous kingdom crackdown did not catch him.
He got the news in advance and fled after we took over Tussberg.
He began to send people to spread rumors in the castle.
It is said that Tosburg is the only way to the capital of the kingdom. In the future, when the Holy See of Light launches a large-scale attack on the kingdom, this place will definitely become the main battlefield, and the battle will be quite fierce.
Especially sending the magician who won the border war to become the earl of this place can prove that His Majesty the King wants him to defend this castle to the death and turn it into a negotiation condition with the Holy See of Light.
So when the nobles in the city heard the news, a large number of them moved out, and many of them fled to the capital of the kingdom.
There are only about 70,000 people in the city now, and most of them are in fear.
So when we recruited troops, no one wanted to come.”
Aikeli explained in detail.
It can be seen that clearing out the old forces is not an important matter.
On the contrary, how to recruit troops is a big problem.
The people in the city had already been in a state of panic due to the rumors spread by the old forces and did not dare to confront the Holy See head-on.
Especially since the count who had previously occupied this place was in collusion with the Holy See of Light.
He continued to spread the power of the Holy See of Light throughout the city, and anyone who opposed him was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
He also told all the civilians that the Holy See of Light had recovered the two kingdoms, and now the religious state established by the Holy See of Light had become the largest empire.
If you help the kingdom fight against the Holy See of Light, you will end up dead.
Instigated by such rumors.
More and more people were scrambling to flee Tosberg.
Not only local nobles, but also a large number of common people.
Therefore, with each passing day, the population of the city will continue to decrease sharply.
I'm afraid that in a month's time, the population of Tosburg will be less than half of what it was before.
This is what bothers Aikoli the most.
Of course, as rumors spread.
Mary Fate was also a little worried. If the war spread to this place, would they also suffer from despair? Mary Fate sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know when this war will end, and what they said seems to be true."
Luo Sheng rubbed her little head.
Mary Fate's eyes widened immediately. "So, this place will definitely become a battlefield in the future? And it will be a situation where if the city survives, the country survives, and if the city is destroyed, the country will be destroyed."
Luo Sheng nodded without hesitation.
"It is exactly what you said. The reason why Ai Keli was ennobled and sent here is to let her defend this city, so as to gain more negotiation conditions for the king."
Mary Fit fell silent when she heard his words.
I didn't expect that I came to the wrong place.
Immediately, he complained: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I wouldn't have come here."
Ai Keli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "We didn't want you to come in the first place, and we told you it was dangerous here, but you said it was okay and insisted on coming with us."
"That's because..."
Mary Fitt was shy when she spoke.
It seems like there is some unavoidable reason.
She would glance at Luo Sheng from time to time.
Ai Keli couldn't help but say in the end: "Love comes before friendship."
Mary Fitt jumped up and immediately retorted: "That's not the case. I'm worried about you. After all, you are my good sister."
Aikeli and Luo Sheng both rolled their eyes.
Mary Fit saw that neither of them believed her.
I had to change the subject and said, "Forget it, let's talk about this later. Let's talk about what to do now."
Luo Sheng pinched her cheek.
Then he said lightly: "They are just worried about dying in the war, but I have a way to alleviate their anxiety, which is to build a castle that will make them feel safe."
This method is not considered as such though.
But at least it's better than being helpless at the moment.
Aikeli and Mary Fit nodded.
I think this approach is still feasible.
However, Mary Fate suddenly became distressed. "This is easy to say, but it may be very difficult to build a more solid castle in a short time."
Ai Keli also nodded. "According to the current number of craftsmen that Tusburg can mobilize, it is estimated that there are less than a thousand people. If they knew that they were going to build a huge castle, no one would come."
Mary Fit immediately agreed, "Yes, and building a castle cannot be completed overnight. It will take at least several years."
The two of them kept calculating.
Finally, I felt that this method was not feasible.
Strictly speaking, it is impossible to accomplish.
Luo Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to build a solid fortress in an instant and allow everyone to live in it."
He had just finished speaking.
Both Aikeli and Mary Fate looked at him curiously.
Build a solid castle in an instant.
Absolutely impossible.
But Luo Sheng's expression was very confident, as if it could be achieved immediately, which completely whetted their appetite.
Mary Fate couldn't wait to ask, "What is the method? Tell me now!"
"It's no secret anymore if you tell me."
There was just a faint smile on Luo Sheng's lips.
I don't intend to tell this secret, otherwise it would be meaningless.
He slowly raised his hand to his mouth, made a hushing gesture, and said, "Let me keep it a secret for now, and you will all know when the time comes."
