Helin City was not built by the Dragon Clan, to be precise, not entirely built by the Dragon Clan. This historical city was built by the Aucklanders in the early days of the ancient griffin dynasty more than 5,000 years ago, a large military fortress built by the Aucklands, elves and giant engineers, and used this fortress as a fulcrum to establish a line of defense to resist the barbarians coming from the north.

Yes, in that era, the main ethnic group of the Auckland Empire, the Hilors, naturally did not have the prosperity as they are now, and the activity area was far less than that of the present, but they occupied the fertile land of the Mesopotamia Basin in front of them. There were still many strong enemies around them. They had never even thought of establishing a solid stronghold on the alluvial plain near the confluence of the union, and were mentally prepared to be driven out of such fertile land by the enemy at any time.

Of course, since the establishment of Helin City, everything has been different.

The elves completed the design of the entire fortress, the giant's engineers were responsible for building materials and construction, and the dragon clan arranged the upper half of the city defense permanent defensive array. This large military fortress, which could accommodate up to 10,000 people, soon became the defensive fulcrum of the northern part of the Mesopotamian Plain, and later became a springboard for the expansion of the Aucklanders to the north. The kings of the Griffon Dynasty (at that time, the Aucklanders were not qualified to call themselves emperors) even moved their capital to this fortress, completely using this place that was known as the safest place in the Southern Continent at that time as a place for reproduction. The establishment of the current glorious capital, Seroksia, was also nearly two hundred years after Helinluo City.

With the development of history, Helin City of course gradually changed from the military center of the Auckland people to the transit station and the functional city of the north gate of the imperial capital. It has a very good taste of Xingyang to the Eastern Capital, Tongguan to the Western Capital, Tanggu to the Imperial Capital, Ningbo to the Magic Capital, Foshan to the Imperial Capital, and Mianyang to the Huadu. The scale of the city also started to build several circles of city walls with this huge military fortress as the core. New functional areas were re-planned internally, and sub-fortresses and towers were built on each fulcrum on the periphery. The city walls were connected.

Overall, in addition to using advanced technology from ancient gold, this fortress-type city is now a complete success in all engineering and technical capabilities during the three major dynasties of the Auckland people, and can be called the most impoverished fortress in the entire empire. According to the "Emperor" of Ikan, even if there were only 10,000 defenders, the defense of Helin City is also 33.3% stronger than that of the glorious capital Sairoksia.

Huh? It seems that the last person who said this was slapped in the face very badly.

During the prosperous period of the Sun King, the number of permanent residents in Helin City was nearly 100,000. The number of migrant population was definitely not below this number. Passing caravans from the North, Lumbourg, Vigia and even the Frozen Valley were all transferred here.

Of course, with the outbreak of the civil war, the defender of Helin City, Bohmond, drove all the ordinary people out of the city and asked them to rush to the imperial capital to eat on their own. He only captured some young and middle-aged men as strong men to make full defense, and then he gathered up about 40,000 defenders.

He may not want the people in the city to become the target of being instigated by the opponent, or he simply does not want ordinary citizens to be involved in the civil war of power among the nobles. Objectively speaking, Helin's citizens did save their lives because of this. Otherwise, in this siege that lasted for several months, even soldiers and nobles would find it difficult to guarantee whether they would be alive tomorrow, let alone ordinary people without any power.

Of course, Bohmond's defenders are only half under his command. All this is blamed on his lord who is desperate.

"If he is really vicious, he can keep all the civilians in the city. When you attack the city, he will overwhelm the old, weak, women and children on the city wall, and see if you can continue to fight. He can even use these ordinary people as a qualifying and force you to provide food to the city." Under the city tower, Lu Xi said to Karin: "In this way, even if you are cold-blooded as the world's No. 1 Princess, you will definitely have no choice but to use this city."

Lu Xi felt that he was actually telling a joke. But Karin and the important officials around Karin all looked at him with a ghost expression, which made him feel a little stressed. So he could only add quickly: "However, if you do this, you can take the opportunity to promote your benevolence, righteousness, and love for the people. Compare the actions of Ikan's "Emperor". Who represents justice and who is qualified to be the heir of His Majesty the Sun King is naturally clear at a glance."

As a result, everyone's eyes changed from seeing ghosts to being amazed, which made Lu Xi even more stressed.

"I've said it before, Xiao Luxi, if you were my enemy, I might have died of illness a few months ago." Karin couldn't help but smiled mockingly: "Now think about it, if you become Uncle Iken's magic consultant, I might not even have a chance to resist."

"Even if it is to praise me, it will obviously make us embarrassed. How could Iken's "Emperor" let the magic consultant of unknown origin counselors and counselors military affairs? This is where Karin is far better than him." Lu Xi calmly flattered the other party, and then he saw from the corner of his eyes that many of Karin's important officials showed a complacent expression: "Of course, I come here now and hope that you will stop siegeing the city, and the purpose is the same. I hope that more people of the empire will see your kindness and kindness in your heart... Tsk, it really makes me feel uncomfortable to tell lies with such open eyes."

"Although you said very quietly, I did hear it." Karin smiled and said, "So, let's talk about your plan first."

"This is actually not complicated. We all know that Helin City is now in a state of poverty, with only half of the defenders left. Before, due to Emperor Iken's death behavior, morale has completely dropped to the lowest point. In a sense, we don't even have to force ourselves to take action, and they will go on in chaos."

"It is precisely because of this that we want to launch a general attack throughout the whole time! Young man, the main force of the pseudo-emperor has been completely injured and the strategic intention of attracting the main force to go north to fight for a long time has been achieved. But he still guards the imperial capital and the treasury that he had hidden gold in the era of His Majesty the Sun King, and it is entirely possible to force more people of Auckland to die for him. Moreover, the strength of the Duke of Lancaster on the coast of the western border was almost no loss. If he was allowed to lead his army into the imperial capital and Ikan round, we might have to face more tough battles!"

The person who spoke was Mr. Gred, the oldest among Karin's important officials and the oldest Earl of Marbrand. The old man was already in his seventies. It is said that he was the childhood sweetheart of Karin's grandmother, Queen Estile, when she was young.

Of course, we all know what kind of miserable image the "children" will play in reality. However, this loyal old man still maintains lifelong loyalty and friendship with the Holy Spring Royal Family and the Sun King couple. His attitude towards His Highness the world's No. 1 Princess is more like a granddaughter than just a lord. Therefore, he is like Karin's first thug Earl Dellen. His eyes look at Lu Xi easily make the latter feel as if he is in Sky Castle.

Indeed, Karin's army had considered the plan to completely trap the entire Helin City to death, but the city extended from the fertile Mesopotamia, and living water flowed through the city. What's more, as the gate to the northern part of the imperial capital, it was an important strategic stronghold, with granaries built inside and stockpiled a large amount of food and grass. After Bohmond drove away all the people in the city, the remaining food in the city was enough for his 40,000 defenders to use it for decades.

"What's more, Bohmond is Ikon's best friend after all. He is different from Niaheru and will never abandon his lord. It is more likely that he will die with the remaining soldiers." Earl Delan stared into Lu Xi's eyes, and his words seemed a little stiff: "Since that's the case, we might as well give him destruction. This is also a knight, and the honor to give another knight to seek benevolence and gain benevolence."

Why do you always look so hostile? This Earl Mr., who is very handsome and even a little feminine (when complaining, Lu Xi never thought that all the sissies in the world are only 5-pointers in front of him). Karin is not your biological daughter, so is it really good to stare at me with such an expression of an old father-in-law looking at my son-in-law? Well, but considering your relationship with my dead father-in-law, Prince Dirios, that year, maybe you will play the role of a mother-in-law.

Well? When you think about it this way, you suddenly feel that you are not so disgusting? I understand you very well? The so-called mother-in-law is misunderstood by various realistic behaviors of asking for cars, houses, money and work, but it is actually ignored. In most cases, they actually have to play the role of a white face for their daughter to have a good destination. Since they are picky by their mother-in-law, then as a responsible man, we despise our mother-in-law, which is definitely a lone self. We must express ourselves well. This is the way for a good man with correct values.

When Lu Xi thought of this, he almost couldn't help laughing.

"I understand the honor of the knights, but the cruel war and the more cruel Game of Thrones require the most rational and realistic considerations." Lu Xi pointed his temple with his finger. He showed a friendly business smile at the famous generals and the knights present. So, his words seemed to be ridicule, but they couldn't even raise everyone's disgust.

"Marquis Bohmond is indeed the best friend of Ikon's 'Emperor', but his subordinates may not be all. We only need to let these ordinary people understand the result of resistance." Lu Xi shrugged and shook his head in distress: "Besides, if you really want to attack, it is very likely that this historical city will be destroyed. If you want to rebuild it, you don't know how much it will cost. I think that even in the future, this throat city as the imperial capital should play a huge role. It would be a pity to destroy it...

What's more, there are enough food for millions of people in the imperial capital to use for next year. If it is burned by the strong-willed Earl Bohmond, it would be a big problem, right? If there is no such food, the millions of refugees who have gathered in the imperial capital, it may become a force that shakes the foundation of the Holy Spring royal family, and it may also become an excellent soil for cults to develop believers. Everyone has suffered the losses from cults, right? And the next time, maybe no one like me will pass by."

"... And if you have these foods, Karin will become their savior. What do you mean? Lu Xi? Master Beren Cast?" The Grand Duke Wells, who has been sitting on Karin's right hand, nominally the leader of her important ministers, actually has always played the mascot, showed an interesting expression: "It's really a realistic consideration!"

"It's true, dear Your Highness, but there's nothing to be disgusted with. The fact is that if the refugees in the imperial capital have this food, they can have hope of survival." Lu Xi looked at the other party and smiled: "Of course, if I were the 'Emperor', I would definitely burn the food before escaping back to the imperial capital. Even a grain of rice won't leave you... What, what's the look of the ultimate villain wants to make a fuss about? What am I doing?"

"Haha, because Lu Xi's method of attacking the enemy is always so extreme that it makes us creepy. There is always a feeling that it is even more demon than a demon."

"You mean that the people in my hometown are all great devils." Lu Xi said with his waist, "Tell you, my methods are all tricks. In my hometown, some people engage in national terrorism to destroy the enemy's labor force, some sell cooked food to enemy countries as grain, and some people spread terminal illnesses to defeat a country... Oh my, let me go, it's really hard to hear that I can grow up healthy and healthy after thinking about it."

Lu Xi glanced at everyone who had already expressed shocked expressions, and couldn't help but cough in a fake way, and then said slowly: "In short, the 'Emperor' of Ikon may be because of his slowness, or because of his innocent heart, and indeed left the most precious strategic resources in Helin City... But these are not important. What's important is that the Marquis of Bohmond, who is in a strong mood, is likely to make up for the mistakes left by his lord, which is what we must avoid. In comparison, some buildings that are too old should be demolished, and it would be really bad to leave safety hazards for future generations."

Karin seemed to be subconsciously impressed by Lu Xi's last words, looked at the other person calmly, and gently tapped his fingers on his seat: "... Then, your plan... no, what do you need us to do?"

"Just let everyone not act rashly for the time being." Lu Xi said to Karin: "Then, I will go to the city as your messenger to have some fun." (To be continued.)

ps: Well, speaking of it, how do you get the reward of 10 Qidian coins? Why is my minimum price of only 100?
