The battle with Silver Dragon Nicholas not only razed the city lord's mansion to the ground, but even the buildings within a hundred meters of the city lord's mansion were not spared. The casualties were not too large. Those who could build houses around the city lord's mansion were all wealthy and noble, and every household had a luxury house and a large courtyard covering a large area.

Unintentionally, Roger and others hit another heavy blow to the upper class of Bora City.

When the fierce battle that night, even Charlie could not get close to the battle circle, let alone ordinary soldiers. Facing the huge storm that was almost impossible to resist by human power, Charlie was extremely shocked. Although he was not sure what was going on in the center of the storm, there was no doubt that there were people in the Holy Land fighting desperately.

But why did people in the Holy Land suddenly fight fiercely in the city lord's mansion? Where did these people come from?

Although Charlie was worried about Roger's safety, the fighting storm containing the deadly energy turbulence was not something he could resist. It was not until the fierce battle stopped and he saw that Roger was safe and sound that Charlie felt relieved.

Afterwards, Roger explained lightly that several enemies wanted his life last night, but were defeated by the guards. Since the reunion, Charlie has known that mysterious figures around Roger are emerging one after another. Since Roger doesn't want to explain in detail, he will not ask.

But such a big thing happened in Bora City, with thousands of casualties, so I had to give the citizens an explanation. Roger had already thought of the words and asked Charlie to announce that everything that happened last night was done by the evil Latvian magician lurking in the city.

Charlie couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He carefully looked at the scene of the battle. Not only all the buildings on the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters were destroyed, but even the foundation was almost digged out! Such terrifying power, if the evil Latvian magician did it, then this magician must be a great magician.

The evil Latvians are a bit too powerful.

Charlie talked about his concerns, and Roger immediately said it was okay. He said to Charlie that the more powerful the evil Latvians, the better. In order to defeat the evil and powerful enemy, all means, including the recruitment of troops and grain, are legitimate and reasonable.

In the next few days, Rogge made a big fuss about the "secretly infiltrated evil Latvian magician". Not only did he announce the full takeover of Bora City, but he also searched the entire city from door to door to search for this magician who did not exist. Naturally, this search was destined to be fruitless.

Since the search of the whole city was not successful, Roger began to incite citizens to secretly report "suspicious people, etc.". The suspicious people reported in the first few days were mostly refugees who were exiled to Bora City from other places. However, as the rumoral activities expanded, many neighbors who had disputes and usually had hatreds began to take the opportunity to accuse their enemies.

Among these "suspicious people" exposed, many of them could not even recognize a few of them, let alone cast magic that was comparable to the Great Magician. Many of them had lived in Bora for decades. How could a "Great Magician" lurk for so long just to put a magic in the war decades later and kill the lords and nobles in some places?

But no matter how much Roger is, he doesn't read any interrogation records at all. He just ordered his officials to arrest all those accused, and no matter who they are, they will torture them first. Then these officials will put the materials listed by the informant before him and let him defend himself.

These people who were imprisoned for no reason and were beaten hard, naturally hated those who falsely accused and cursed them. More people turned their teeth back and bite them.

The officials under Roger were very responsible and arrested the people who were bitten one by one. After torturing them, they told them who sued them and let them defend themselves.

The next step is naturally a more fierce and vicious round of counter-biting.

After several rounds, everyone in Bora was in danger for a while, fearing that someone would be caught and then be arrested in prison. Suspicion, hatred, and despair were growing day after day.

In a moment, in this big city with more than 200,000 people, all the dark places of human nature were almost discovered by Roger.

The object of hatred among citizens is always easy to point to the most prominent or familiar target around them. Now this goal is very obvious, that is, the whistleblower.

The citizens understood Rogge, who planned all this behind the scenes. After seeing the ruins of the lord's mansion, the citizens of Bora were still scared and wanted to capture the "evil Latvian magician" as soon as possible. Most of the people who died this time were rich and powerful, but I don't know who would be next time.

In the hearts of ordinary people, survival is always the most important thing.

Roger also sent someone to reveal the news of the Latvian massacre in Leipzig. In a blink of an eye, everyone knew about the tragedy that happened in Leipzig.

On a moonless night, Rogge secretly used magic to blow up the gate of Bora City, and sent dozens of local garrison soldiers from the Leyton Kingdom to heaven. Although the Latvian army did not attack while the "inner turmoil" was in chaos, the false alarm of Bora citizens was also extraordinary. After all, everyone was afraid that Leipzig's tragedy would happen to them.

Roger took advantage of the panic and levyed a large amount of taxes. The tax burden was determined by income, and each household collected one to dozens of gold coins. The fat man claimed that he would use this money to consolidate the city defense in large quantities. When his life was threatened, many people did not care so much about the broken money. Even if they cared and dared to cause trouble, the tax collector found an excuse and arrested it. When all the prisons in Bora were crowded, no one would notice that they had arrested a few more people.

The Kingdom of Layton is indeed rich.

Roger collected 150,000 gold coins for this "war tax". The fat man was quite conscientious and spent half of the gold coins on rebuilding the city defense of Bora and pensioning the families of the soldiers who died in battle. Roger only embezzled half of the corruption. Compared with the huge bureaucratic system of the Leighton Kingdom, the proportion of this corruption is at most half a dozen. Therefore, from the surface, Roger's political performance efficiency is much higher than that of the dead lords and nobles.

After making a small amount of war money, Roger could make up for the loss of purchasing magic scrolls from the Eye of the Dark Night.

Roger, who had just solved the problem of being a big deal, was in a very happy mood. Sometimes he would read the interrogation records of those who falsely accused each other. Even the fat man felt his vision wide. Over time, the officials below the fat man carefully figured out Lord Roger's preferences, so he specially picked up some strange interrogation records to present them, and occasionally Bolog could smile.

In the miserable city of Bora, people pray for the arrival of the Savior every day.

Almost all the classics of various religions have recorded examples. At this time, how God saved the world.

Bora is such a big city that it will never be ignored by God.

More than ten days after martial law, at the sunset, a group of strange travelers came to Bora City in the afterglow of the sunset.

These people were clergy and mages of the Eye of Wisdom. The one who led this team was Elder Kalmon, who was very familiar to Roger. According to the plan, he wanted to spread the blessings of God to this tortured city.

In the Kingdom of Layton, the Eye of Wisdom has become a very influential religion. Many great nobles and wealthy businessmen have become loyal believers of the Eye of Wisdom. Of course, how can these ordinary people resist the natural charm of the Saint Mora? From past history, the Eye of Wisdom, a method of developing the believers, will sooner or later attract the intervention of major sects. Rogge, who is familiar with the general history of the mainland, knows this point well, so he has begun to prepare for this. At this moment, the two largest sects in the north are the Silver Holy Church, which believes in the Snow Goddess of Ice and Snow, and the Church of Light may interfere in the future.

Roger is ready to use secular force to fight against the intervention forces of these two sects, and at the same time, he uses the power of the Eye of Wisdom to consolidate his power foundation.

So as soon as Kalmon arrived, Roger welcomed them into Bora City with a grand and exaggerated ceremony. The welcoming ceremony was so grand that even Elder Kalmon did not expect it to be flattered. Looking at Roger who was respectfully leading the way, Carmon couldn't help feeling guilty and a little scared. When he first met, Roger was just an ordinary magician. But after meeting again in the Northland, every time he saw Roger, he felt that Roger's strength was blurred again.

If Rogge was standing under the dim light that day and could barely see clearly, Rogge was now completely in darkness and Karmon could no longer see through him.

In fact, Roger's magic was always there clearly, just a level eleven magician. But Carmon always had an intuition that nothing he saw was true. Perhaps because of his pious belief in the goddess Audrech, Carmon has recently felt that his intuition has become increasingly sharp.

The only thing that made Roger feel a little regret was that the charming saint Mora did not come with him. According to Carmon, the saint was preparing a very large religious ceremony in the capital of the Kingdom of Leighton. At this ceremony, she will personally explain the teachings of the goddess Audrech and inspire more people to join the Eye of Wisdom.

"Well, to put it bluntly, it is to arrange a super-large magic circle to maximize her natural charm effect, so that the 'inspiration' is more efficient." Roger thought in his heart.

In order to save the city, the first thing Eye of Wisdom is naturally to capture the 'evil Latvian magician'.

With the guidance of the goddess, the magicians with the Eye of Wisdom were indeed very capable. That night, a magical war broke out in the city of Bora. In the gorgeous magic fireworks, dozens of houses and hundreds of lives became victims of this "chasing".

Early the next morning, Rogge immediately announced that the "evil Latvian magician" had been discovered and killed in the battle last night, martial law was lifted, and all arrested "suspicious people" were released. For a moment, joy in Bora City was thunderous.

There are two most effective ways to soothe the severely damaged hearts of the Bora city residents, one is faith.

The Eye of Wisdom made extraordinary moves, defeating the Latvian magician in a shocking magical war and saving the entire city of Bora. They also lifted the martial law order and released all the arrested people. Rog also allocated 10,000 gold coins to rescue the families of the victims in the two "magic wars" in the first and last days. Amid the praises of the citizens, Rog and the clergy of the Eye of Wisdom seemed to be really shrouded in a halo.

Anyway, these gold coins were not from Roger's pocket, so the fat man was not heartbroken.

Elder Kalmon seized the opportunity and held several speeches in the next few days to preach the goddess’ doctrine and spread the goddess’ glory. Each speech was filled with listeners. Although there was no support from Mora’s natural charm, many people became believers of the Eye of Wisdom after the speech.

Another good way to demagogue people and divert attention is military merit.

Although Rogge was busy with internal affairs of Bora City, his eyes never let go of the Latvian army less than 100 kilometers away.

He had no intention of fighting the Latvian army at all, and was in chaos and was also in trouble. The Latvians were also in a dilemma.

But this does not mean that there is peace between the two armies.

When Rogue was concentrating on dealing with Nicholas, all military transfers were under Charlie's responsibility. Rogue even handed over the dark side of the moon to Charlie's command.

As a military strategist, Charlie strictly abides by the order that Rogue must not fight the Latvians in a decisive battle, but he will never let them stay comfortable.

Regardless of day and night, there are several griffon knights wandering in the sky around the Latvian army every day, monitoring the Latvian army's every move. In early spring in the north, in addition to the cold weather, it is basically sunny, which is suitable for griffons to go out. The griffon knight's flight is very exquisite, and it is just outside the mage's maximum range, which makes Latvian magicians hate it.

Charlie asked the griffin knights to bring magic flame arrows, and took advantage of the darkness to ignite the Latvian military gulf several times and burned the stables once. As a result, the Latvian cavalry that had already left behind lost a lot.

The Dark Side of Moon was also sent out by Charlie, with ten people in a team, wandering around to hunt down the Latvian reconnaissance cavalry. The Latvian reconnaissance cavalry was no match for the Dark Side of Moon. In a few days, more than one hundred cavalry were wiped out. The Latvians quickly could not bear the heavy losses of the scout cavalry. They simply sent several 500 troops to start reconnaissance of the surrounding areas.

The Latvian movements were long as Charlie expected. When the griffin knight who was wandering in the sky found that the Latvians were on the way, he immediately notified Charlie who had been waiting for a long time.

Charlie personally led the two hundred Spartan knights, gathered all the Dark Side Knights of the Moon, and rushed towards a Latvian reconnaissance unit. After a short and fierce battle, Charlie almost wiped out the five hundred troops.

Since then, the Latvians no longer dare to send small troops out of the city to reconnaissance.

After hiding in Leipzig, the only thing Latvians need to be wary of is the cold arrow that will be shot from the head when they will be shot.

According to Roger's prior instructions, Charlie dragged all the hundreds of corpses back to Bora City and hung them all on the Borra City Gate. Nearly five hundred corpses floating in the wind looked very spectacular. The people of Bora's city had greatly increased their confidence in Lord Roger's guarding the city.

With these military achievements as embellishments, a lot of the depressed atmosphere in Bora City has been diluted.

Although he temporarily went to Nicholas, a close friend, Roger still handed over the specific military mobilization power to Charlie. In this regard, the fat man knew that he could not do better than Charlie, after all, an omniscient and omnipotent genius does not exist.

Early that morning, Charlie, who went out of the city to hunt Latvian scout cavalry, came back. As before, as soon as he returned to the city, he came directly to the study to meet Roger.

At this time, Roger was indeed sitting in the study and pondering at the magic map of the Holy Alliance. Charlie couldn't help but admire him. After this reunion of the North, he found that among the many characters he had met, although Roger was definitely not the most talented, but he was definitely the most diligent and self-disciplined one.

Charlie called out a few times before Roger came to his senses from his contemplation.

"Lord Rog, the Latvians are a little strange. Judging from the information from all aspects, they seem to be packing their luggage and preparing to retreat."

Roger nodded and said, "They are in trouble now! They want to attack us inadequate troops, and they lose money on the main battlefield, because the Immortal Legion and the City Massacre almost broke with the allies. Instead of putting these more than 30,000 troops on the battlefield this time, it is better to withdraw back to the country and assist in defending the main battlefield. If it is me, I will defend a strong fortress with ten thousand troops to block our way, and then put other troops into the main battlefield. If they really withdraw, Charlie, do you see if we are going to pursue it?"

Charlie thought for a moment and said, "The pursuit is definitely necessary. But our elite troops are only more than 6,000 points, and the rest are inadequately trained recruits. Although their quality has improved rapidly over the past period of time, it has been barely qualified to use them to defend the city or conduct positional wars, but it is definitely not enough to carry out pursuit wars. My suggestion is to pull out our most elite cavalry and form a mixed force of two thousand cavalry to pursue and harass the enemy on the way to retreat. It can also kill a large number of enemy troops. It would be even better if we could find an opportunity to kill the opponent's magician."

Roger meditated without saying a word, and subconsciously knocked on the table with his fingers, and said for a long time: "I think the Latvians will retreat in the next few days. We have to chase them, but we can't beat them too hard, just pretend to behave. We should try to put a few Latvians back as much as possible, which will be beneficial to our future arrangements."

Roger suddenly asked again: "Charlie, how do our recruits train now?"

“I’m focusing on training their combat skills and physical strength.”

Roger frowned and thought, "The most important thing in front of him is military discipline! You can relax the rest for the time being, but military discipline must be required according to the highest standards. If it really doesn't work, what excuses can you find and kill him to emphasize the importance of military discipline."

Charlie asked in confusion, "Sir Roger, why is this?"

"Because they will soon become the occupying army. For the occupying army, strict military discipline is the most important thing. Don't I work hard to buy the hearts of the people, but let a group of soldiers who disturb the people everywhere be ruined! Charles, the countries of the Holy Alliance are very close in culture and blood, and marriages between kings and nobles are also very common. In other words, if we successfully eradicate the royal family of a country, just like we did in the Duchy of Snow Falcon, it will be easy to integrate the newly annexed country into the Duchy of Alay. What is needed is patience and time. In this process, the military discipline of the occupying army will directly affect the results of our efforts to integrate the occupying country. Now there is not much time, and I do not require these new recruits to fight against the warriors who have been through many battles. They only need to suppress the rebels. Of course, if their discipline is strict enough, I don't think there will be many rebels."

Charlie had more doubts in his heart. In his opinion, according to the current political structure of the Holy Alliance, even if the resurrection of Orpheico, it would take three or five years to unify the newcomers who had been trained for three months by several thousand elites and 80,000 yuan. The Kingdom of Latvia has a deep foundation, a long-standing country, and a well-trained army. At least after several major battles, the main forces of the Latvian army were completely eliminated, before they could talk about occupation and annexation. But when Roger spoke, it seemed that annexation of the Kingdom of Latvia was not far away.

But if Roger didn't say it, he wouldn't ask. Charlie was cautious. He had seen that Roger was becoming more and more scheming. It might be the wisest way to do his duty for such a person.

The two discussed the current situation for a while, and Charlie was about to say goodbye.

With the morning light coming through the window, Charlie saw that Roger's face was a little abnormal gray. After all, he was not a simple relationship between the monarch and the minister. After a moment of hesitation, Charlie still said: "Mr. Roger, it is not a matter of our great cause after all. It is important to pay attention to your health. If your injury in that battle that day has not been completely healed, then my sacred fighting spirit is very effective in recovering the injury."

Roger was moved and laughed and cried, and quickly declined Charlie's kindness and sent him out. After the massacre of Leipzig, the relationship between the two was a bit stalemate, but after this morning, it recovered a lot.

After sending Charlie away, Roger's face turned pale and he suddenly coughed. Charlie was right. Roger's injury was indeed not healed, but the injury did not come from Nicholas, but from Androni.

After turning the Silver Dragon Nicholas into the Elf Nicholas, Roger finally got into a big trouble. He immediately remembered the "promise" made by Androni and could not hold down a lively heart. The next night, he finally waited until the darkest moment before dawn and immediately sneaked into Androni's room.

Under Roger's silver eyes, the darkness in the room was not an obstacle at all, and everything was hidden in the fat man's eyes.

Androni was still wearing a tulle nightgown and sleeping properly with the quilt. Her seductive curves were looming under the nightgown. Her chestnut hair had grown a little longer, and she looked less heroic and more charming. Just like her usual habits, her sleeping posture was very indecent, with her limbs stretched out, firmly occupying every corner of the big bed.

Roger smiled secretly, and couldn't help but think that if anyone married Androni, he would be bullied at night when he went to bed. But he spat twice in a blink of an eye. How could such a beautiful beauty with a good personality be given to others? It would be too sorry for her conscience if she didn't take it away and keep it for herself.

At this time Androni seemed to feel someone in the room, but she turned over, hugged the quilt, and fell asleep again. It seemed that at dawn, it was indeed the time when she was sleeping the most. In the past, although Roger was still not awake, her ears had already stood up.
To be continued...
