The red eyes were clear, not sarcastic or mocking.
He seemed genuinely convinced that the person she brought back was fine.
Keltia fell silent in response to Ron's unconditional trust.
Prior to this, she actually shared the same idea as Vasily, believing that Ron was using the pretext of saving the Kingdom of Orantia to subtly annex it.
This kind of open scheme has no solution.
If she stops Ron from doing this, more than 400 million people in the Kingdom of Orantia will die at the hands of the demons.
If we don't stop it, the Kingdom of Orantia might be annexed by the Kingdom of Lach, but at least the people will survive, right?
However, letting Ron run wild wasn't a solution, and she felt she needed to do something.
Her idea was simple—if she couldn't stop it, she would check and balance it.
So, after leaving Kassel and delivering the message to the Radiant Church, she went to the Kingdom of Diam, which was closest to Kassel and was also a participant in the War of the Gods.
What the Kingdom of Lah can do, the Kingdom of Diam can do as well.
Under the guise of seeking assistance, they would bring the Kingdom of Diam into the fray, thus creating a balance of power.
Once the Kingdom of Orantia is freed from its predicament, its army can join forces with the friendly side to drive away the hostile side.
Even with both sides harboring ill intentions, the Kingdom of Orantia managed to survive in the cracks.
This is the best solution she can think of.
When Vasily made the request for aid, she expected to face strong opposition from Ron.
After all, during the war between the Kingdom of Lah and the Kingdom of Diam, the former king and the eldest prince died mysteriously one after another. Only a fool would believe that it had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Diam.
As a result, even with such a mortal enemy relationship, Ron readily agreed.
They even went so far as to ask the Kingdom of Diam to bring more people.
His solemn face showed no dissatisfaction, only worry about the current situation in the Kingdom of Orantia.
If it weren't for a genuine desire to save the Kingdom of Orantia, who else could possess such a magnanimous spirit?
Kertia suddenly realized that she might have made a mistake.
Perhaps the best solution would be for her to seek help from a country outside the War of the Gods, rather than from the Kingdom of Diam.
Ron's sincere gaze plunged Kertia into deep self-doubt.
……
Before long, the group arrived at the front line of the Kassel army's advance.
At this moment, the Kassel army had advanced to the walls of the Komoni fortress.
The closer to the city wall, the denser the spiritual energy became, and the more troublesome the cleanup work became.
However, as more rescued people joined the search and rescue team, the progress did not slow down much.
Ron stepped down from the carriage.
“Your Majesty Ron,” Lawrence greeted him respectfully.
Looking at the rows of siege ladders erected on the city wall ahead, Ron nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"This is all we should do." Lawrence didn't take credit for it; he knew very well that Ron was the one who brought it all to them.
“This is indeed what you should do, but your contributions are undeniable; you are all heroes of Kassel.” Ron raised his hand and patted Lawrence on the shoulder.
Then, looking at the Doug brothers beside him, he introduced them to Lawrence: "They are array masters that Lady Kertia invited back from outside."
Lawrence nodded in acknowledgment; he had already met the two men when he returned to Kassel yesterday.
"How long will it take them to observe the Divine Purification Array?" Ron asked.
"About four hours," Lawrence estimated roughly based on the current progress.
It was almost nightfall.
“Prepare a place for Master Ugo and Master Zoo to rest,” Ron said.
"Yes! Please follow me, both masters."
The Doug brothers followed Lawrence away.
Ron climbed up the city wall to observe the situation inside the city.
Looking around, there was a complete mess.
The demon army attacking Komoni was no smaller than that of Kassel. Although both were count territories, Komoni did not have the seventh-tier assistance of Kertia, and its city defenses had already been breached by the demons.
Houses damaged by the battle were everywhere, and residents were fleeing in panic on the streets.
It must be said that the demons' actions were so realistic that they didn't seem like they were acting.
In order to lull the Kingdom of Orantia into a false sense of security, they did everything they were supposed to do.
First, he sent the great demon Baal to infiltrate the heart of the Kingdom of Orantia and assassinate Princess Karina.
In order to ensure Princess Karina's escape alive, the Great Demon Baal meticulously controlled the difference in strength between the two sides, achieving an effect where he was just a hair's breadth away from killing Princess Karina.
After the assassination attempt failed, they instigated the Great Demon Lilith to attack the Kingdom of Orantia, creating the illusion that she was extremely wary of the Divine Purification Array.
Then came the feigned defeat, whereupon two large legions, risking total annihilation, charged in, intending to forcibly destroy the Divine Purification Formation.
Faced with such an enemy, no one would doubt that the Divine Purification Formation is flawed.
The Kingdom of Orantia deserves this fate.
"Your Majesty Ron."
When Ron returned from his inspection tour, Lawrence had already come back to wait.
Seeing that Lawrence seemed to have something to discuss with him, he asked, "Have you encountered any problems during your progress?"
“According to your strategy, everything is going smoothly. It’s just that…” Lawrence hesitated.
"Just what?"
“During our search, we found a group of children who had been given a enslavement drug and were in a coma. We didn’t know what to do with them,” Lawrence said.
Yes, I almost forgot about those insignificant war slaves.
“Take me to see,” Ron said.
"Yes."
After descending the city wall, Lawrence led Ron to a small town two kilometers away from the wall.
They found the children in a cellar in this small town.
Ron went to the church where the children were temporarily housed and checked on each of them.
The situation is far from optimistic.
In some dire situations, the transformation is just one step away from completion.
There is still hope.
However, the amount of royal blood required might be too much for him to handle in the short term.
Fortunately, a member of the royal family just arrived in Kassel today and can help him share the burden.
Ron first released some royal blood to suppress the transformation, and then sent someone to invite Vasily over.
Vasily was naturally unwilling to use his noble royal blood to save these civilians.
But it wouldn't make sense not to save these civilians, since the Kingdom of Diam came under the pretext of saving the Kingdom of Orantia.
Putting the greater good first, he still sacrificed his royal blood.
"Two bowls already, isn't that enough?" Vasily's face turned pale as he watched Ron take away the bowl full of blood and then take an empty bowl to take it.
“Store a lot of these away. If we find more children harmed by the enslavement drug later, we won’t need to bother you anymore,” Ron said.
After saying that, he handed Vasily a bottle of magic potion that could quickly replenish his energy and blood.
Vasily: "..."
Chapter 60 Let's get going!
The last vestige of orange-red on the horizon was swallowed by gray-blue, and inky blackness filled the sky.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of tens of thousands of people, the Komoni Fortress was captured.
At this time, the Divine Purification Array of the Comoni Fortress only covered an area of two hundred square meters, which was inscribed with array patterns.
Ron led the Doug brothers to the front of the Divine Purification Array.
The Doug brothers walked around the edge of the Divine Purification Array, carefully observing the array patterns and the magic stone held in the hands of the statue in the center of the array.
After a long period of nurturing, this magic stone has grown to nearly one meter tall, beating rhythmically like a heart.
The Doug brothers had been marveling at the Magic Stone ever since they saw it.
He said he had never seen such a suitable foundation for the formation.
Its inherent vitality and pure spiritual power captivated two well-informed masters with profound knowledge of formations.
They certainly couldn't have seen it.
This is a derivative of something made from the skull of an ancient demon king that the demon race overturned.
When the Bruviman Empire handed over the Elemental Stone to the Kingdom of Orantia, it claimed that the item was found in the Kingdom of Gods.
The Kingdom of Orantia did not suspect anything at the time. Although there were occasional conflicts between the two countries, they were all human after all, and they had always been on the same side when it came to dealing with the demons.
No one would have imagined that the powerful Bruveman Empire would collude with the demons to commit such heinous acts.
"Your Majesty Ron, could we get any closer?" Ugo asked after observing for a while.
“This is the fixed area of the Divine Purification Array. If we want to advance any further, we can only destroy the Magic Stone,” Ron said.
The area around the Magic Stone is a single entity, with no foothold to allow them to advance further.
The old trick of staged accidents doesn't work anymore.
The previous situation was like a bonfire. Before the fire was lit, he stood on the firewood, and the demons dared not light it.
