I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 53
Ivita handed over the task of delivering the gauntlet to Brandon.

But in fact, this task is not difficult to do.

Because it only needs Brenton to stand on the city wall, nail the sheepskin to the arrow, and then shoot the arrow with the iron head to the empty space under the city wall.

At that time, the children of the self-owned forest will pick it up.

The reason why Ivita entrusted Branton with this task was also to give him a way to vent.

Because, Brandon's family has been slaughtered by the children of the forest.

Iveta couldn't be more willing to do such a small matter that can win people's hearts by pushing the boat along the river.

Sure enough, after Blanton finished this matter, he was elated for the rest of the day, feeling that he had uttered a bad breath.

He even went to the study, took the initiative to find Iveta, and told him how happy he was to lead the challenge to the children of the forest on behalf of Baron Molo.

After he left the study, Ivita tapped on the table and muttered to himself. "Sure enough, when people are with each other, what people tend to remember more easily is not what they said to you, but the mood when they were with you."

"I think Brenton is in a good mood. It's good, and I haven't spent a penny extra."

Only by knowing how to be frugal can you be a good lord.

Only those who can spend money can make money.

Ivita said belatedly, "It's not right either. A gray goose feather arrow in the Baron's collar is worth three pennies! I still spent three pennies. What do you think, Hearthstone Witch."

The Hearthstone Witch smiled awkwardly. "Your Majesty, you are right."

The old witch has been silently observing Iveta's behavioral logic. The more she observes, the more frightened she becomes.

She is not afraid that the Demon God does not understand people's hearts, but she is afraid that the Demon God understands people's hearts too well.

Judging from the degree of acquaintance with Ivita's people's hearts, the Hearthstone Witch guessed that it was not the first time that Ivita came into contact with humans.

Otherwise, he is not human at all, why can he understand people's hearts so well.

Even learned to a very terrible degree.

It's almost as if Evita has always been a human being.

But the Witch knew that the Daedric Gods of the Warp would never empathize with humans.

She believes that all of Ivatar's human emotions are things he can fake to confuse humans.

This is very scary.

Only in this way, when can she escape from the Demon God!

The Hearthstone Witch thought of her beloved apprentice again, she must quickly find a replacement for the dead ghost.

After a while, the black wolf came to the study and reported the current situation of the food in the castle.

Regarding food, they don't have to worry about it for the time being, because there is a lot of food stored in the cellar of the castle of the Baron of Morrow.

As for the water source, there is also a 200-meter-deep well behind the castle.

But the convenience of weapons is not optimistic.

Forget the rest, but there are only more than 100 arrows left in the arsenal.

It seems that after the Dryad replaced Baron Molo, he found excuses to transport weapons outside many times. Now that I think about it, it is estimated that they were all sent to the children of the forest army in the suburbs.

"It seems that the children of the forest are not short of food, but they seem to be short of weapons."

Evita pondered. "There are not many armors in the castle. Even if there are, they are cotton and cloth armors that are not even leather armors."

"So, I guess that even if the children of the forest have enough bows and arrows now, their armor rate is still a problem."

Hei Lang said: "This is also normal. For food, maybe some wild fruits and wild animals in the mountains can be collected as materials instead of wheat."

"However, if you want to increase the armor rate of the army, you need a vast hinterland to support industry and commerce, and there must be enough farmland and farmers to support craftsmen such as blacksmiths and cobblers."

"This requires a strong town market and a developed agricultural civilization, but..."

"Children of the forest, there is no such condition."

Evita nodded. "We want to strengthen the city defense, and this task is most suitable for the Hearthstone Witch. Go and check whether there are any loopholes in our city defense."

The old witch is a very insecure person.

That's why she doesn't trust the people around her, and even with a little doubt, she will harm the people around her.

People with this personality trait are very suitable to check whether there are loopholes in the city defense.

Because it involves her own safety, she will definitely redouble her efforts to prevent loopholes in the city defense.

The old witch said: "Your Majesty, I need your permission to mobilize fifty adult laborers to dig a ditch in front of the city wall."

Although Ivita was puzzled, he nodded.

The old witch felt a little happy for Ivita's trust, and His Majesty the Demon God agreed without even asking why.

But she still had to explain out of politeness. "As long as you attack a city, there are only those types."

"Without large-scale siege equipment, we can only besiege and assassinate high-level officials in the city, causing chaos. With large-scale siege equipment, we can directly attack the city wall."

"The castle of the Barony of Morrow is too small, lacking a moat and outer city walls, and not enough towers for defense. If the children of the forest really have large siege equipment, there will be a big problem."

"So, we should dig out pits and ravines outside the city wall, and then fill them with wooden thorns. This can not only prevent the opponent from pushing over large siege equipment, but also effectively prevent the opponent's cavalry."

The old witch said: "In addition, our castle is halfway up the hillside, condescending, and there is no shortage of food and water."

"In this way, even if the opponent has an army ten times larger than ours, they will definitely not be able to capture such a castle."

Ivita secretly exclaimed in her heart, as expected of an old witch, no one can compare with you in terms of Gou's abilities.

The old witch thought for a while and continued: "Ah, there may be a few treants in the army of the children of the forest. If necessary, we also need a team to fill the ravine with torches to prevent the treants from approaching the city wall."

"The tree man is a great threat to the low-rise walls of the fortress of Baron Morrow."

"Fortunately, this is a mountain, and the rock is hard, so we are not afraid of the treants destroying the foundation of the castle."

"These are basic city defense techniques."

Hei Lang seemed to be meeting a witch for the first time. "I didn't expect you witches to understand this, sorry."

The old witch sneered. "Ordinary witches don't understand. But I am the guardian of Hearthstone Castle. When I was a guardian of Hearthstone Castle, I learned city defense technology by the way. But let me say, this dilapidated three-nothing castle is really useless. The method is compared with Hearthstone Castle."

"The moat of Hearthstone is a magnificent river of flames. It is the flames of the hellfire that my teacher's teacher stole from hell. After adding special magic, it becomes a hotbed of alien flames that burn life. "

Speaking of Hearthstone, the old witch froze again.

For some reason, she kept thinking of Hearthstone.

Ivita said to the black wolf: "Hey wolf, you and Rayleigh brought reliable people and let the villagers of the three villages near the castle withdraw into our castle in batches in an orderly manner."

"It's up to you to decide how to divide the batches and how many people will be at a time."

Hei Lang said: "Yes, Your Highness."

After everyone left, Ivita sat on a chair and twirled the ring of desire worn on her little finger. "Hopefully that will reduce the number of deaths."

People die in wars, and he is not stupid enough to hold the mentality of not letting anyone die.

If a person does something that he can't do at all, then he can only get failure.

At night, the gauntlet that Branton shot outside the city disappeared, probably picked up by the children of the forest.

I don't know how the children of the forest will react after watching it.

And Iveta got another piece of news, which was barely good news for him, but bad news for Brandon——

Knight Tavel died, four of the six knights who followed him died, and more than 50 guards were all killed in battle, and only eleven of the more than 200 serf soldiers escaped back.

It is said that when they were chasing the Treant troops, they were ambushed by the Centaur troops and the Snake troops.

The other party dispatched thousands of soldiers and at least eight official priests, plus some knights who drank the wine given by the dryad, and were instigated by the dryad with the juice of the ancient tree, which led to the result of almost annihilation.

This news was within Ivita's expectation, so he wasn't too surprised.

Only, he learned from the mouths of the two surviving knights that what the dryads added to the wine was the sap of the ancient tree.

Instead, Branton felt very sad and angry, and he died some elders.

But he knew that Ivita could not be blamed for this. Ivita had tried his best, and it was the Tavel knight who insisted on going his own way and killed the troops who followed him.

Brenton could only place this hatred on the Children of the Forest.

That night, the two knights who escaped death, plus a knight who had been watching and did not follow Tavel out of the castle, came to the study on the second floor of the castle.

Behind them, there were seven knight attendants.

A group of people broke into the study, startling Branton, who thought they were going to rebel.

Ivita sat calmly on the chair, as if he didn't see these knights wearing neat armor and carrying sharp knight swords at all. He seemed to have forgotten that he was just an apprentice wizard.

The three official knights suddenly drew their knight swords, and then raised them violently, high above their heads.

Brenton screamed. "What are you doing! I voluntarily gave the territory to Evita."

The knights gave Brenton an indifferent glance, and then they thrust their swords into the floor, and all knelt to Ivatar on one knee.

"So...you want to pay homage to me?" Ivita looked at them indifferently. "Just, what if... I don't want to?"

All the knights looked at the young Ivita, and secretly marveled in their hearts. Is such a magnanimity really just an ordinary explorer?

This kind of demeanor is far inferior to that of the baron's son Blanton.

It is also something that the former Baron Molo never owned.

The knights even had a feeling that they were just the first stop for the eagle to spread its wings, and then the eagle would go to a higher and bigger stage.

And even if they only accompany the eagle for a short journey, it will be a legendary story belonging to them.

"Master Ivita, please consider the lives of tens of thousands of people in the baron, and accept our allegiance." A knight said: "The baron is already very dangerous, and we urgently need an excellent leader. We can no longer be torn apart. .”

"Tavier is dead, the baron is dead, and those who can lead us are dead."

"We must be loyal to you, so that we have the ability to continue to resist!"

Evita was silent.

This is the benefit that Tavel's death brought to him.

Although cruel, this is reality.
