399 Destiny
Due to more than a month of cultivation, Xia Guang City has undergone considerable changes.
Since the destruction of the Maca Imperial City, the major cities have reduced their connections. Although they do not mean to become independent, they have greatly strengthened their autonomy. The original noble city lords have become completely in power in the main city. Without the constraints of the royal family, they have become much more courageous and have made considerable changes in the city's planning.
For example, outside Xiaguang City, the elemental masters dug a circle of deep and wide moats, and many fortifications were set up on the ground.
A conscription order was also initiated in the city, and all civilians of a certain age were conscripted and their troops expanded by dozens or hundreds of times.
Regardless of whether they are professionals or not, as long as they can walk or run, they must participate in the battle. This also prevents the fate of ordinary people from becoming refugees and running away when the main city is destroyed. Although ten ordinary people may not be as good as the combat effectiveness of a black iron-level profession, the Western Continent is the most lacking in people.
It has to be said that although the Maca royal family has carried out a series of reforms and has greatly increased their attention to ordinary people, a general education school was established a hundred years ago, allowing most civilians to get rid of their illiteracy. This year, Sofia carried out a coup and established a House of Commons, but the existence of professionals still prevented them from completely getting rid of the concept of class.
Professionals are professionals. In terms of military affairs, they can only rely on professionals. The House of Representatives only allows the wisdom of the people to participate in national construction.
I think that weakening the power of the nobles and concentrating the imperial power can solve the problem?
The existence of professionals will have a class, and the members of parliament are all civilians, but most of them are professionals.
If there were no orcs and the imperial city was not destroyed, the Maka Empire might become stronger and stronger in a few years or decades.
But the destruction of the imperial city allowed the lords of the major city to mobilize all their power after experiencing despair.
It was not that there were no nobles who fled to the three kingdoms, but without the teleportation array, the vast territory of the Western Continent was no different from the death.
Among the nobles, there are high-level professions and have strong mobility, but they also have family servants. The reason why they are called nobles is that they have formed a large family and individuals can no longer be separated from the family.
Although the imperial city was destroyed, new ideas have been passed down. Since civilians can participate in national construction, why can't they participate in military affairs?
Indeed, a legendary profession can easily change the situation of a war by fighting against one thousand on the battlefield. Even the most profound strategy can be defeated with force. However, in the face of the threat of extermination, human beings have no way out. Then, even if they are destined to be destroyed, they must bite the enemy's flesh and blood before destruction.
The so-called "worry soldiers will win" is the reason. Therefore, the major cities, especially the main cities north of the imperial city, have already fought against the enemy's back and forth, preparing to fight the orcs to the death with all the people.
Yan Chong had thought before that if the teleportation arrays of major cities were connected, then they would definitely unite to rebuild the Maca Empire - of course, it might not be called the Maca Empire, but to elect a new emperor and establish a new empire.
This may really be able to complete the S+ mission of the Third Academy and then compete with the orcs.
But after staying in Xiaguang City for a few days, he was helpless to come to a conclusion that it was because the teleportation array failed, Xiaguang City had such determination.
Because whenever there is a slight possibility of escaping and survival, these nobles will not think of uniting to fight the enemy, but will quickly escape from the front line of fighting with the orcs.
Even if they are willing to unite, they will fight to the death in fighting for supreme leadership.
Time is too short, and the nobles have become accustomed to exploiting civilians at a high cost. Even if their power is restrained, they will not be convinced.
Because the royal family is also aristocrat, they are just the top aristocrats.
They have huge wealth and powerful force, and can continue to rule others wherever they go. Why fight the orcs to death?
Even if they have to fight, why do they bear the brunt of others?
How could they be willing to become cannon fodder and sacrifice themselves to achieve others?
Originally, Xia Guang City thought that it was their turn after the imperial city was destroyed, so she gave up at the beginning and wanted to leave it to fate. Some nobles in the city even committed suicide decisively because they knew more inside information. They didn’t have time to run away, and they would rather die than be enslaved. If it were just enslavement, it would be fine, and there was still a chance to survive, but the orcs might sacrifice them to the evil god.
The most terrible thing is that the soul cannot be at peace after death.
But after a while, they found that the orcs had stopped, so they were nervous and nervous. Later, the city lord directly issued a series of government orders and prepared to defend the city to the death.
This preparation took more than a month, and during this period, the city continued to mobilize. The people enlisted in the army and the construction of the construction. Many nobles regretted it. If they had known this, they would have taken their families to the south, but they could not leave now.
Who knows if the orcs will launch an attack directly as soon as they leave, and then the city of Xiaguang is broken, and they are chased by the orcs again. That would be too miserable. They can only stick to the original policy and continue.
After learning all this, Yan Chong felt amused and crying. He didn't expect the orcs to remain silent for so long after the destruction of Maka Imperial City.
The previous month of study in the academy may not have been intended to avoid the chaos outside and to be willing to improve my strength with peace of mind.
Now it seems that a large part of the initiative is in the hands of the Third House. The Great Prophet Elise is the preparatory incarnation of the Gods. The Gods are preparing to open a breakthrough in the Third Houses. But for some reason, they banished the Great Prophet, and may have been noticed by the Gods, which broke the deadlock and restarted the mainland war.
However, Yan Chong did not regret it. Continental wars are the general trend, and no one could avoid it. It is better to have the initiative than to passively accept it.
The last heat of summer stays in Xiaguang City. For a month, the residents of Xiaguang City have become accustomed to the stressful life. The streets are full of patrol soldiers, most of them are ordinary civilians who are not professional, and some refugees who fled to join. This time, Xiaguang City did not stop them from entering the city.
These soldiers not only have to receive professional military training every day, but also serve as patrol and guard tasks.
Before the alarm sounded, they were talking and laughing, greeting and chatting with the people they knew by the street. After experiencing ups and downs in psychological changes, they gradually adapted to their new lives.
But after the alarm sounded, they finally realized that they were about to be judged by fate.
