Devil's Journey

Chapter 42

After careful consideration in his mind, Julian opened his eyes, and said to Ron in a deep voice: "You take a day off, and then take a few men to pretend to be adventurers and go down the mountain to spread the news, saying that there is something strange in this mountain area, it seems There are traces of demons appearing, to the west is"

"It's Viscount Rabe of Doron County in the Kingdom of Thalia, my lord." Ron said quickly.

Julian nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you go to Rabe and the surrounding area, and spread the news that a small group of demons have appeared, neither too much nor too little, so as to cause those nobles to crusade against Jiangong desire, without being scared to come, um, you understand?"

"Yes, yes, I understand. Your lord is still wise." Ron suddenly realized with a touch of realism and falsehood, and then quickly responded excitedly.

Julian shook his head secretly, the bandit leader's acting skills are still not up to par, the praise is too blunt, but there is no way, let's just let it go for a while, and train a full-time courtier in the future.

"Okay, now that you understand, then step back."

"Yes, my lord." He bowed his head respectfully, and then Ron bent over and stood up slowly. When he raised his head, the magic seal of the slave word on his forehead flashed twice, and then disappeared without a sound.

The South and North Tyrell Mountains were originally a mountain range, also known as the Little Hengduan Mountains. According to legend, in a battle of gods thousands of years ago, they were cut into two by a certain god's sword, thus forming the South, North and South Tyrell Mountains. North Tyrell Mountains.

On the west side of the South Tyrell Mountains is the Kingdom of Thalia, and on the east side it faces the Verol Commercial Alliance and the Verol Sea. Most of the mountains are more than [-] kilometers wide, and the widest part is [-] kilometers. It is more than [-] kilometers long.

(The plot requires that the specific description may be slightly different from the drawn map.)
The shape of the South Tyrell Mountains is like a beast's foot. It extends to the southwest and gradually shrinks to form a peninsula. There are territorial towns on the flat land on both sides of the mountains, but one side is the fiefdom of the Kingdom of Thalia, and the other side is Verol. Southern Confederacy of the Merchant Confederacy.

The mountainous area where Julian is located is in the northwest periphery of the South Tyrell Mountains. To the north is Winston County of the Principality of Falcon, to the west is Doron County of the Kingdom of Thalia, and to the south of Doron County is Thalia. The core area of ​​East Thalia Plain.

The East Thalia Plain is flat and fertile, with abundant water conservancy. It is the core granary of the Thalia Kingdom. The capital of Thalia, Fanhua City, is located in the west-central part of the East Thalia Plain. It is densely populated and rich in products. It must become the coveted fat of the demon army.

If he leads an army to kill millions of people in the Eastern Thalia Plain, even if it is just a little devil, he can quickly be promoted to a legendary devil. It is undoubtedly a great attraction for those legendary demons.

Compared with those demon gods and demon lords who coveted the entire plane, the purpose of those demon armies that invaded the plane was more direct, purely for killing and devouring.

Like a wolf entering the sheepfold, greedy and cruel, they want to destroy all the creatures in sight. I am afraid that it will not be long before the demons in Winston County are done wreaking havoc, and I am afraid they will choose to go south to slaughter them.

And Julian was not strong enough, so he could only try to lure the prey into the trap he set like a spider weaving a web, and then eat the prey bite by bite.

Duolun County is both a border territory and an aristocratic territory. Except for a few important fortresses and county towns that belong to the kingdom, other towns and cities are divided into three counties, more than ten viscounts, and more than 30 counties. baronies.

There are many hills and forests in the county, the agriculture is not bad, and the business is not good because the river transportation to the west of Duolun County is cheaper, but fortunately, there is more land per capita, and life is still passable.

But compared to Winston County in the north, it is much worse. There are many young people who have gone to Winston County to make a living. Anyway, the two counties are very close in geography and climate, so there is not much difference.

Even because the Talia Kingdom took the initiative to wage war with the Falcon Principality several times, causing the two counties to be traumatized by the war, there is a feeling of sympathy for each other. When the Talia royal family is scolded in the bar, it often resonates. Come on, after all, the military discipline of the army is not very good these days, and the Talia Kingdom Army that came from the mainland did not seldom toss and plunder the people of Duolun County.

And the nobles in Duolun County can't talk about how loyal they are to the Talia royal family. The gatherings of these local emperors always have jokes that reflect the royal family, and the Duolun County Council also has many conflicts with the royal family's decrees.

Such a peaceful and fulfilling day was not broken until I heard of the sudden arrival of the demon army. Unbelievable bad news kept coming. Nobles, refugees, mobs, rogues, and even scattered demons kept pouring in. London County.

Although every year, every month, or even every day, there would be those idle fortune-tellers shouting that the darkness is approaching, that the devil may invade one day, and the end will be tomorrow.

But as time went by and I heard too much, no one took it seriously. Until a few days ago, the major sects and the Mage Federation suddenly issued warnings that the darkness was coming and the demon army was coming, and the countries were a little vigilant, but this This kind of vigilance has still not been conveyed to the nobles everywhere, let alone the common people.

For those nobles, it seems that the greedy, despicable and laughing neighbors next door seem more like demons than vigilant against the army of demons coming from outside.

But the news that has come in one after another now makes everyone in Duolun County have to believe it. The problem that comes with it is that the information is too much and too complicated, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. Some people say that it is just a small group of demons appearing in Winston county.

Others said that the army of hundreds of millions of demons that covered the sky and the sun had descended, and others said that Winston City had been breached, and all 10 people in the city had been massacred. There were even no living people in the entire Winston County. Say.
In short, there are now a large number of people with their families migrating to Duolun County every day. The roads are chaotic, and even many bandits loot. Although Marshal Bellor has arrived, the main force of the Royal Army has not yet arrived.

And the nobles of each family took care of each other, and even the vile nobles would hide their identities and participate in the looting. On both sides of the road from north to south, refugees who died of various reasons were often seen.

However, there are exceptions to everything. After the news spread, there were also teams from the west and south, and many of these retrogrades were naturally seekers.

Some people do it for faith, some do it for justice, some do it for experience, but more people do it for riches and honor. Basically, they are nearby adventurers, mercenary groups, priests, paladins, Freedom Riders, etc., these people who came retrograde along the road, even the rumored terrible army of demons could not deter them.

　Some revisions have been made to Ron's report in the previous chapter, and some state administrative additions to this book have been added.

　　The nobles are divided into princes and uncles, who are theoretically vassals of the king. The feudal status is the same level. There is no difference in personality, but there is a big gap in strength. It is equivalent to a city, a barony is equivalent to a town, and a marquis and a viscount are in between. The difference in strength will make a small noble choose to protect and fight against a big noble, but this relationship is The relationship between parties is not the relationship between monarch and minister.

　　(The area, population, counties, cities, and towns increase by ten, and the nobles increase by three.)
