"Why did Duke Eddie do this?
What's in it for him?
”Teresa didn't understand why the undead monster was supposed to be everyone's common enemy, so why did she have to put the border town in danger?"
It's not clear all of his motives yet, and I need to think about it."
This is a real headache, and Owen plans to return to the castle immediately.Then call Winster urgently and discuss the current situation with him and how to deal with it.Thinking of this, Owen looked at Teresa slightly apologetically."
I'm sorry, Teresa, I should have celebrated your return, but there wasn't such a time right now.""
Well, that's okay."
Teresa smiled and shook her head slightly.She didn't care about that, and she understood the special situation right now."
Lord Owen, you are now the lord of the border town, and you must prioritize and deal with the issue of the territory.Whatever you decide, I will stand behind you unwaveringly. ”"And me!
Lord Owen, as your chief knight, I am your sword and shield. ”Maper also showed no signs of loyalty.“…… Thank you. ”The two friends who grew up together fully supported him, which made Owen's heart warm and strengthened his determination to protect the border town.Yes, he didn't intend to evacuate everyone from the beginning.Since the Templars were not coming to their aid, they relied on the Frontier Town's own strength to block the attack of the undead.Owen is confident that he will lead everyone against the undead and survive this winter.This confidence is not groundless, it comes from the advanced knowledge and technological power of another world.The stakes were high, and Owen was in no mood to stay outside, so he led the knights back to the castle.Teresa did not go with her, but went their separate ways with Owen.When she returned to Frontier Town after three years, she had to go back to the church to report her return.On the way back, Owen opens the main interface to use the emergency call function.After connecting, he gave Winster a general account of what had just happened.Winster was only slightly surprised to learn of this, and then fell into a wordless silence and began to think and analyze the current situation in Frontier Town.Walking quickly into the study, Owen pulled out a chair, sat at the desk, supported his chin with one hand, and entered the dialogue mode in his head.What do you think about this, Winster?
】[You must not evacuate the border town and take refuge in the Dongsheng Fortress as the other party wishes. 】It seems that Owen and Winster agree on whether or not to evacuate and evacuate.
[I think so too.]By the way, what exactly do you think Duke Eddie is doing this for?
】With Frontier Town blocking the undead in front, Duke Eddie and his Dongsheng Fortress are safe in the rear, isn't it okay to spend the winter comfortably like this?
Owen didn't understand this, so he wanted to hear what Winster had to say.The other party pondered for a while before slowly expressing his opinion.
[Probably, it's to control the border town.] 】[How do you say this?]
】[To find out what Duke Eddie wants, you have to remove all the factors that have to do with me......"
Winster explained unhurriedly.Owen and Winster's encounter was entirely accidental.If Owen hadn't been bound by that silver orb, Dimension Three, what would have happened next?
The food problem in Frontier Town may never be solved, so it is firmly grasped as a lifeline by the Dongsheng Fortress.While it is possible to buy food from other places, that is not a complete solution.The recipe and process of making the cement are unknown, and the eastern gap in the northern wall can only be defended by a wooden wall.While waiting for reinforcements, they were told that the Templars had decided to garrison the Tosheng Fortress and abandon the frontier town.At that time, Owen knew that he was powerless to stop the attack of the undead monsters, so he could only let everyone evacuate the border town and take refuge in the Dongsheng Fortress.Without resistance, a large number of undead monsters can easily move south.When passing through the northern wall, it is bound to cause damage and create new gaps.Naturally, the houses and things left behind in the border towns were not spared.As mentioned earlier, the land north of the Dongsheng Fortress has not been developed much.Therefore, fending off the attack of the undead monsters in the winter is almost no loss for Duke Eddie.When the winter is over, people return to the border town to see that their homes have been devastated by the undead.The northern wall was badly damaged and could no longer be repaired.After that, every winter, the border town will become unsafe, and people will have to leave the border town to take refuge in the Dongsheng fortress.In this case, Owen has no right to refuse any unreasonable request made by Duke Eddie.There was no way, because the border town completely lost its ability to fight against the undead monsters, and had to rely on the Dongsheng Fortress in all aspects.As a result, the Frontier Town fell completely into the hands of Duke Eddie.
[No wonder Duke Eddie didn't pay any attention to my pleas, it turned out that he had this kind of calculation in his heart.] 】Owen can see that this is all a bad act of a selfish nobleman.As for why Duke Eddie insisted on taking control of Frontier Town, he also had some guesses in his heart.The border town was originally a new territory developed by the forces of Dongsheng Fortress, and the northern city wall was even built by the four major families at that time.Later, due to some changes, the border town was canonized by the king to the Aisen family.In the eyes of Dongsheng Fortress, this is completely a snatch in their hands.But because of the majesty of the king, they did not dare to say anything.Now that the town of Frontier has been weakened by the curse of the Kaztus, Duke Eddie sees an opportunity and makes a decisive move.As for how many innocent people would die as a result, he didn't care at all.It's just a pariah, and if you're dead, you're dead.
[What do you think should be done next?]
】Owen asked.Based on past experience, the Lords of Frontier Town would first recruit a group of adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild, and then lead a group of knights to assist the Templars in the battle on the city walls against the undead.Some civilians will also be conscripted to do chores such as transporting grain and grass and carrying equipment.However, the Templars had already abandoned the frontier town, and it is estimated that the adventurers would not dare to accept the commission.What's more, with Duke Eddie's obstruction, it's hard to say whether the commission can be released.Without the help of the Templars and adventurers, the undead could not be stopped by the knights alone.
[In this situation, Owen, you'd better recruit a large number of civilians from the border towns to form a people's army. 】Winster suggested.Adventurers who do things for money will not go desperately, after all, they have to live to get paid.As for the knights, although they say it nicely, for the glory of Yunyun, in fact, most of them are for the reward of victory after the war.Once the battle situation is not right, there is a very real problem that nine times out of ten they will immediately leave the battlefield.There is no doubt that a people's army will burst out with strong combat effectiveness when defending its homeland.After learning about it from Winster, although Owen had the idea of forming a people's army, he did not expect to take this step so early.
