Chapter 587: Legendary Flight

Translator: Lonelytree

Rolling Stone Town after the Dragon Calamity.

The atmosphere of war was getting increasingly intense.

Although Rheagar did not officially announce his preparations for war, a series of abnormal Lord Orders were issued one after another in the following days.

The first was to restart the underground fortress north of Rolling Stone Town.

Due to the excellent terrain of the Gold Digger’s Basin, a huge underground fortress was built northwest of Rolling Stone Town as early as when Rheagar’s father was in power.

Only 1/6 of the fortress would be developed to accommodate the entire population of Rolling Stone Town for a short period of time.

This fortress was usually sealed off.

Now that it had been activated, it naturally needed to be reorganized and allocated to various areas so that it could be used in time to protect the residents in future wars.

The second was the establishment of the sentry system during wartime.

The Black Dragon’s surprise attack was an accident.

However, Rheagar and the others clearly recognized that they had to strengthen the setting of mobile sentries. Ever since Matthew used the protective umbrella to deal with the Scar of the Dead, the frequency of patrolling by the garrison team had decreased significantly.

After the Dragon Calamity.

The members of the garrison team led by Blake not only strengthened the shift patrol system but also greatly expanded its scope.

Focus on the western and southern borders.

In this regard, Matthew also sent out the ghosts to monitor the situation in the northeast to ensure that Rolling Stone Town would not be attacked from both sides.

The third was to silently expand the army.

The expansion of the army was mainly to recruit more people to improve the number of guards and reserves.

To be fair.

With the population of Rolling Stone Town, the potential for war was not enough.

Within Zeller and Rheagar’s expectations.

After this round of expansion, the permanent army of Rolling Stone Town could only reach the edge of 1000 people at most.

Among them, only 200 of the Lord’s Guards were elites.

And in the details of the battle in the ” Secret Order of War ” formulated by the Seven Saint Alliance.

For the lowest-level battle, the number of participants was set at 500.

Generally speaking, the number of people in a battle should not be less than 1000.

This was obvious.

As long as it was a large-scale battle, all the military forces of Rolling Stone Town had to be invested.

This was quite a huge pressure for Rheagar and the others.

Fortunately, Matthew’s undead army could barely fill the gap.

These few davs.

Zeller had been studying the details of the secret order.

The number of details that the Alliance had given in the official version was dozens of times more than what Matthew had received from Margaret.

It detailed the reasons for requesting a battle:

Territory friction/territorial dispute/personal grudge/merger of territories/his dog glared at me…

All these things are not described in one way.

Under the current conditions, it was very easy to start a battle.

However, in principle.

A battle required the agreement of both parties.

During this process, the Alliance sent a Referee Mage to intervene and make a decision.

For example, if the High Leaf Region submitted a request to Rolling Stone Town and the Alliance for a battle of 2000 people, it would be impossible for the alliance to defeat the High Leaf Region.

When the Alliance saw that Rolling Stone Town only had 1000 soldiers, they might reject the request for a battle with the Highleaf Region on the grounds that their combat strength was not equal or change the number of soldiers to 1000.

If the Highleaf Region accepted the scale of the battle, it would be Rolling Stone Town’s turn to make the decision.

With the agreement of the Highleaf Region and the Alliance, the two of them were able to enter the city.

If Rolling Stone Town chose to reject the battle, then he would have to fulfil a part of the ” winner’s reward ” proposed in the ” battle application ‘

The content of the winner’s reward was also negotiated by both sides with the Alliance’s intervention.

The main content was the ceding of territory, war reparations, territory privileges, and so on.

In fact, it was equivalent to taking the initiative to cede territory and pay compensation.

And between the two territories, there was also the concept of a ” war protection period.”

To be more specific, after one territory declared war on another and won, it had to wait another half a year before the next war application could be issued. This had indeed slowed down the pace of the annexation of weak territories to a certain extent.

However, this didn’t mean that the Alliance didn’t encourage territories to annex each other.

In the details of the ” territory negotiation ‘

The Alliance gave the option of merging territories without using force.

The two sides could negotiate under the mediation of the Alliance.

With how passionate the people of Aindor were about negotiations, this would probably become the mainstream.

But war was still inevitable.

No matter how detailed the rules of the alliance were.

There would also be many loopholes.

For example, the protection period of a battle only existed between two territories that had just ended a battle.

There were no restrictions on other territories.

This meant that Rolling Stone Town could declare war on all the surrounding territories at the same time.

All the surrounding territories might also declare war on Rolling Stone Town at the same time.

In this way.

Rolling Stone Town was likely to face a battle of attrition!

This undoubtedly placed a higher demand on the political and diplomatic level of the independent territory.

How to form alliances became one of the major tests that many small territories faced in the new era after the civilization mystery was broken.

The three magnates of Rolling Stone Town had discussed this matter.

The three of them believed that the details of the ” Secret War Order ” were one of the important factors that would determine the fate of the territory.

Before the Alliance lost control of the war.

Legendary mages who could interfere in war and overthrow the regime at any time were the guarantee of the effectiveness of the rules.

How to effectively exploit the loopholes in the rules.

It was the next goal that Zeller needed to focus on.

For this reason.

The coughing sounds in the liege’s manor in the middle of the night became frequent again..
