I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 130: Faith and Confidence
Standing by a large fireplace, Mavis and her servants showed up and made the residents immediately stop their activities and look. For a moment Mavis circulated her gaze and exhaled heavily, this place has indeed changed very much, the right buildings have been erected a lot, the streets have improved, and people look very happy, people look very happy, different from what he had in his memory. It did not feel like he had made changes for this southern border region for a long time, joy was slowly filling the heart. It made him feel very heavy to pass on this bad news to them.
"Consider everything, here I will deliver a message coming from the royal capital." Mavis spoke out loudly with a serious face. The citizens were enthusiastic about noticing, basically no one could ignore the attention of the master they respected the most.
"In tandem with this message, His Majesty King Cornelius ordered Prince Asta Dixon to return immediately to the royal capital, to help prepare for the upcoming war." Mavis paused to see how the expressions of the residents had heard her words just now. "As you have just heard, I deeply regret that I cannot be in this place as the war progresses. This place has turned into a decent place for everyone living in it, all have fought for the development of this place. Now that peace will not be easy to obtain, you will not be able to relax when the enemies come knocking on the gate of this border region."
"They will come, that's for sure, they will take away everything we have, all the hard work we've fought for. Here I would like to ask all of you, the residents, the workers, my fighters, and the parents who want their children to live happily, are you guys willing to protect this place as long as I'm not around? Protect your dwellings, your homes, and your identities."
A moment of silence, the residents stared at each other with complicated facial expressions. Mavis could only sigh watching the restless citizens after knowing the war was about to take place in this kingdom. Given that this was the kingdom's outer border region, it was certain that it would be the first battleground. Normally when war broke out, the residents of this place would suffer a lot if they chose to stay. Therefore it is very difficult for them to decide whether they will fight for this border place, or if they flee to a safer place.
Mavis also doubted, is it worth it for them to risk their lives just for the sake of this border fortress? The inhabitants were basically under no obligation to defend the fortress, as the soldiers from the kingdom would come to defend it. Counting that the war would soon take place in a matter of three months from now, it should not be long before the kingdom would send an army to defend it.
"Why are you guys just silent? Didn't the Prince ask you?" Amidst the silent atmosphere, the clear voice of a man emerged from the middle of the crowd. After all, it becomes the center of attention, especially Mavis who becomes curious about the identity of the man.
"Why should you be afraid? Aren't there still officers like us?" The man also appears along with other comrades, revealing the true appearance of the herd that uses the full outfit of disciplinary enforcers.
Actually that guy is Masako? Mavis clearly remembered that one man, he did have an affinity for his steadfast nature, a brave and caring young man around him. Being behind him the disciplinary enforcers were excited and nodded, convincing the citizens not to worry because of the upcoming war.
"Really! Although I cannot fight, at least I cannot be a coward in front of my son! Let me be a brave father in his eyes!" One of the other middle-aged lung men said with determination.
"Prince, I have no qualms about dying on the battlefield, only I do not want my daughter to share in the same danger of staying in this place. Could the Prince be able to help bring my daughter to the safe haven of the royal capital?"
"Well, he's right! My poor son, he's five, I can't put him in danger. Prince I beg you to help save my son," said one mother, who fell limp after realizing the safety of the child in danger.
"You rest assured, I can guarantee their safety."
Mavis smiled proudly, glad that they actually had loyalty to this border region. In the heart of Mavis will remember their sincerity, their courage, and will repay them someday. Meanwhile, he had also had the thought of placing some shadow creatures in this place, however this region had become his territory.
The Mavis have an obligation to the safety of the inhabitants therein. In addition, quite sure with this great war, it will be a good moment for the shadow creatures to give experience points when killing on the battlefield. Of course Mavis also leave a message so that they do not act rashly and force themselves. Only if it was indeed impossible to defend against a powerful enemy that might just appear, would they have to immediately go on the run.
"Flint, Ezekiel, Wed, Violet, and Scott, you'll stay here. Sera, Ozzi, Akio, and Giraldo, you go to the border of the Osaka region to clean up the dungeon that appears there. Meanwhile Baroque and Weyan, send soldiers of assistance from the empire to secure this border region. Ivar, you also immediately prepare a trained goblin warrior, remember, only the one with the ability comes to help. The rest of you will follow me to the capital, until here do you have any objections?" Through telepathic messages, Mavis gave several announcements to her servants.
