The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

At that moment, all the shouting people and my hand stopped abruptly.

This proves that there are very few particularly rough people in this royal city, and they can all understand that this gesture means to stop.

"Finally, I want to say that although this conscription is for everyone, I am not forcing everyone to participate. I just want to ask everyone to help me and the entire Kingdom of Edela contribute. Please."

As I spoke, I gave everyone a slight bow.

Upon seeing my bow, everyone who had been creating such a lively atmosphere instantly fell silent.

This is actually the result I wanted, because saying nothing is the best way to experience people's true feelings.

After that, there was nothing more for me to do, so I simply walked down from the platform.

After that, the matter of conscription was left to the regular army and Vice Admiral Lance Oberent, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in the chair that seemed to have been prepared especially for me, and then collapsed.

At this moment, Elena and Lila also came over.

"Ivy... I didn't expect you to actually have such a regal air about you."

At this moment, Elena, probably after listening to my speech, said with great praise.

"Yes, as expected of my Ivy, I never thought that you could make the entire royal city submit to you. You are truly amazing."

"No, no."

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed by what you said, because I do really like being praised, hehe.

"Alright, let's just sit back and wait and see how many soldiers we can recruit."

Strangely, however, there was still no movement above us, as if the Demon King's army was still preparing something.

Honestly, I'm feeling quite uneasy right now, because I'm afraid that even if my speech is good, it's just talk, but in reality, less than 30% of the recruits will actually make it.

I would be so incredibly embarrassed...

So, right now I'm constantly chanting in my mind, hoping I won't embarrass myself too much.

About three hours passed, which felt like a long time.

Just then, Vice Admiral Lance Oberent walked slowly toward us from a distance.

However... I always felt that its complexion didn't seem very good.

Chapter Fifty-Five: A Great Success in Recruiting Soldiers!

Uh... why does this guy have such a gloomy face?

Does this mean that everyone talks a good game but actually does very little?

Oh dear, what am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to live with any shame in this country? ┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah.

I am clearly a holy princess, someone even greater than the king at this moment, yet I've been brought down here. I don't want this, I don't want this!

At this moment, the closer Lance Oberent got to me, the faster my heart beat.

When he came up to me, I felt as if my heart had suddenly stopped.

Because I was really scared, so scared.

"How is it going, Lieutenant Lance Oberent?"

At this moment, Elena quickly asked her for the result on my behalf.

"Your Highness, your speech was absolutely amazing! A resounding success, a truly tremendous success!!!"

"what?"

Hearing this, I was instantly stunned. Success was one thing, but what the heck was this huge success...?

But since it was successful, my heart, which had stopped for a moment, has calmed down. Ugh, that really scared me to death.

"Unexpectedly, more than 90% of men are willing to join the army to defend the country, and even the elderly and women are willing to join the ranks."

"Ninety percent? Really?"

At this moment, Elena couldn't help but gape in disbelief.

Because, in fact, 90% is equivalent to the entire population passing the resolution. This excludes people with physical defects, mobility issues, or injuries. So, 90% is essentially the same as the entire population.

"Really, now that we have logistics personnel, all the older ones have joined the logistics team, and all the women have joined the medical team. Next, all we need to do is train the residents and wait for the Demon King's army to attack this military camp and training camp. We just need to defend it. In this way, the success rate of the defense should be about 80%."

At this moment, Lance Oberent spoke with excitement shining in his eyes. Perhaps he hadn't expected that everyone would be so in agreement, willing to fight to the death.

"It seems we're going to be quite busy from now on. I'm truly grateful to you, Your Highness."

"It's alright...it's only natural."

Honestly, I didn't expect this result at all. It seems I do have a bit of a leadership feel to it, hehehe.

In this way, the original 25,000 soldiers instantly expanded to nearly 80,000. There were also a lot of medics, and the most professional medical teams patiently taught how to bandage wounds. They also taught basic common sense, so that as long as it wasn't a broken arm or leg or a hole blown through the body, everyone could perform the operation skillfully.

Naturally, there was a piece of land in the backyard of the military training camp that had never been used before. It was a good opportunity for some of the older people to grow some fast-growing food, so that everyone who took refuge there, including the soldiers, would have food to eat.

Naturally, the training of the remaining soldiers was also carried out by the elite sergeants and adjutants. In fact, they were all preparing for the attack of the Demon King's army of more than 200,000 men.

Sure enough, one morning three days later, another magical cannonball suddenly struck the defensive barrier of the military training camp, causing another violent tremor.

We are ready, and we have also built many defensive fortifications within the city. The battle is about to begin.

Indeed, the royal city of Edela has made very thorough preparations, so it is more than capable of defending against the more than 200,000 demon king warriors.

At this moment, Lila, Elena, and Commander Edson, along with I, stood on the highest point, the rooftop of the fourth floor of the military training camp, observing the movements of the Demon King's army.

Sure enough, the Demon King's army here is quite different from the Demon King's army of the past.

If it were the Demon King's army on ordinary days, even the elite ones, they would absolutely stop at nothing to achieve their goal and charge straight ahead regardless of life or death. Even if there was a barrier, they would use their weapons to forcefully break through it.

They stood there in neat rows, as if they had the same intelligence as humans.

Indeed, I felt that they were quite difficult to deal with.

However, we now have enough men to defend the city, so all we need to do is wait for their army to launch a full-scale attack.

It seems that this defensive barrier originally belonged to the royal city, but it was not activated before the royal city was destroyed. Therefore, it was moved to the last place in the royal city of the Kingdom of Edela, which is the location of the royal city's military training camp.

Therefore, this barrier is indeed ridiculously strong, because I saw that although the magic armor-piercing cannon has a slight effect on this barrier, it would take continuous firing to completely break through it.

The cannon fire we just witnessed was actually a siege magic-based armor-piercing cannon created by the combined magical power of the demon king's army sorcerers at the rear. However, we have a barrier here, so we have to expend a lot of troops to break through it.

However, I discovered that they fired ten armor-piercing magic cannons at the same time, and after each firing, it took about one and a half minutes to wait.

"Um, if I wipe out all the enemy's magical artillery units, then they won't be able to break into the city, right?"

Suddenly, I had a bold idea.

"Uh...this."

At this point, General Ederson was quite surprised to hear my bold idea.

"Hey, Ivy, are you out of your mind? Didn't you see how many Demon Kings' armies and flying units there are in the sky and on the ground? How could they possibly let you get close to their magic army and magic artillery units so easily!"

At this moment, Lila immediately started complaining to me.

“I feel I can do it, Binrabella.”

At that moment, I shouted out the name of Bin La Bella, who was standing below.

Then she flapped her wings and flew towards me.

"What is it, Your Highness Ivy?"

At that moment, Binrabella bowed to me very respectfully from the air.

"Who is this?"

At this moment, General Edson was even more surprised to see that someone had wings and could fly.

"She is Binlabella of the Red Dragon Clan, and is currently my subordinate."

"Good heavens! I never thought that even the Dragon Clan could be under your command. You truly deserve to be His Majesty's personally chosen Holy Princess."

Upon learning that Ederson was the captain of the team, he immediately began to praise me.

Indeed, having dragons to help humans can certainly boost the morale of the human kingdom in defeating the Demon King's army.

Since a red dragon that can transform into a human is obviously a super-advanced being, it would be no problem to fight against ten thousand enemies single-handedly.

Next, I'll wait for Commander Edson's approval, and then I'll ride on Binlabella's back, with my main objective being to burn down the last rank of the Demon King's magical artillery unit.

Chapter 56 The Magic Artillery Unit Attacks the Demon King's Army

Even though my rank is higher than General Edson's right now, why should I obey General Edson's orders?

Actually, I don't need to follow his orders and instead take matters into my own hands and launch an attack.

Actually, I could go on my own initiative, but I'm afraid that one wrong move could lead to a series of losses, and I wouldn't be able to bear that responsibility.

"Since you have the dragons with you, then go ahead. However, Your Highness, you must return quickly and not linger in battle, do you understand?"

After considering it for a moment, General Edson gave me his instructions.

“Alright, in that case, Binlabella, transform into the form of a dragon.”

"Hey, Captain Edson, why send Ivy?"
