Chapter 764 The border situation is promising
After staying in the territory of Marquis Nochima for several days, he visited the situation of the border defense line of Nochima.
On the way back, Prince Vladin was in a mixed mood.
Fortunately, Marquis Nochima did not exaggerate.
The repaired and reinforced border defense line gave Prince Vladin a sufficient sense of security from a distance.
Whether it was the three thick city wall defense lines built with the [Past Glory] barrier, or the various city defense equipment prepared in advance, and even the large number of firepower points reserved on the city wall.
The warehouse in the rear was full of food, oil, herbs, and other various materials and weapons, arrows, and ammunition consumed when defending the city.
There is no doubt that this place is ready to resist the impact of a large number of monsters.
But there are also things that make him worried.
Marquis Nochima has paid a corresponding price for such a large-scale construction and repair of the defense line.
It may be a bit too much to describe the people living in this area as living in dire straits, but it is absolutely okay to describe them as having a hard time.
Nochima believed that the border defense line was more important than anything else, and for this reason he did not hesitate to invest a large amount of wealth in the territory into the construction of this defense line.
For this "Nochima Iron Wall" that far exceeded normal specifications, not only did Marquis Nochima live a tight life, but the people in his territory also lived a miserable life.
Most people did not have much savings left in their hands, because the Marquis had been constantly levying heavy taxes.
Tax collection was not over yet.
Building the defense line required manpower.
The Marquis used the subsidies allocated by the kingdom to the border territory as a reward for recruiting workers. If people wanted to get this money, they had to work hard.
Not only were they poor, but they also had to work hard day after day. Most of the productivity of the entire Marquis territory was almost piled up in the construction of this defense line.
It is no exaggeration to say that.
Marquis Nochima has pushed the pressure of the entire territory to the extreme within the scope permitted by conditions.
Iron-blooded, high pressure.
Those who disobey will either be levied more stringent taxes or simply forced to work!
At the call of Marquis Nochima, the manor nobles without fiefs in the entire Marquisate also joined his system. Their task was to supervise and ensure that the people in the territory were contributing to the Nochima Territory.
Prince Vladin now understood why the family of Karl von Braun, whom he had met before, was willing to sell their houses and spend all their savings to move out of the Nochima Territory.
Although Marquis Nochima did this for the stability of the border defense line, it can be said that he was doing something that would benefit the Kingdom of Reyak for hundreds of years.
After all, after the defense line was successfully repaired and reinforced, even if Marquis Nochima was gone, these loyal buildings could still provide shelter for the Kingdom of Reyak.
But his methods were a bit too "cruel".
For ordinary people who had little resistance, their lives became quite difficult because of the repair of the border defense line.
During the few days he stayed in Nochima Territory, Prince Vladin saw many ordinary people who were mentally exhausted and expressionless.
They were all exhausted by the heavy work and were physically and mentally exhausted.
This is completely different from the people he saw in the capital and Ceylon.
Prince Fradin thought for a long time, and finally could only sigh with mixed feelings:
"It's difficult!"
...
The three border noble territories face different pressures during the monster red tide.
The number of monsters in Nochima Territory is generally the largest. The garrison here is mainly composed of the King's Army, relying on thick walls, various defensive equipment and abundant manpower for defense.
Therefore, the quality requirements for the "defense line" here are also the highest.
When the monsters come like a tide, it is impossible to kill them all by professionals alone. It is necessary to use various tools, terrain, and buildings to assist in holding on.
Kalezi Territory is the place where dangerous monsters are most likely to appear. Every time there is a monster red tide, there will be extremely powerful 6th-level monsters and 5th-level monsters appearing there, trying to rush into the kingdom.
Therefore, most of the garrison forces there are the Crusaders of the Glorious God.
When high-level monsters appear, they will send powerful legions to behead them.
The pressure of monster impact that Ceylon needs to resist is smaller than that of the other two borders.
However, the barrier of [Past Glory] in Ceylon has the most small gaps that appear randomly during the monster red tide!
Therefore, every year during the monster red tide, various low-level monsters will rush into Ceylon through the small gaps that are never blocked, causing damage to the local area.
This is also the reason why the refugee problem in Ceylon has always been difficult to solve.
Every year, there are unlucky villages that suffer disasters, and every time there is a monster red tide, a new batch of refugees will appear.

However, this year's situation has given Prince Vladin some extra confidence.
The three border territories are no longer the three border territories they used to be!
Kalezi Territory is the place that needs the least worry. The strength of the Crusaders is unquestionable. The power of the Radiant Divine Art is extremely effective against monsters. For so many years, monsters have never broken through the defense line of Kalezi Territory.
Under the guard of the Crusaders, even a level 6 monster can't think of crossing the city wall.
If their numbers were not so small, the Crusaders alone might be able to firmly defend the three border noble territories.
The newly repaired and reinforced defense line of Nochima Territory has finally been completed. Relying on the geographical advantage, the defense pressure should also be reduced a lot. If nothing unexpected happens, relying on the brand-new "Nochima Iron Wall Defense Line", there is no need to worry about the loss of the defense line in the next few decades.
The situation of Ceylon Territory is the most reassuring one!
Although it has just suffered the disaster of the Eternal Night, the current Ceylon region is protected by the God of Knowledge, Nowen!
Other things can be faked, but people's yearning cannot be faked.
Let's not mention anything else.
In terms of the number of spellcasters, Ceylon Territory is now absolutely the best among the three border territories.
The believers of the God of Knowledge are not even satisfied with guarding the border. They have opened up a small piece of new civilized territory near the Ceylon region outside the border from the beginning!
With the examples of Pete, Miranda and Lancelot, these believers of the God of Knowledge have proved in the capital that they are very good at dealing with monsters and have an unusually abundant martial virtue.
Prince Fradin has made psychological expectations in advance.
In the best case, they can really break the record, defend the civilized territory outside the [Past Glory] barrier during the monster red tide, and create a miracle;
In the worst case, they really can't stop the monster's impact, and abandon the territories opened up outside the Dark Forest and retreat to the Ceylon area. It is completely acceptable!
Even the worst outcome is much better than in previous years.
Even after learning the dragon's warning that this monster red tide will be more ferocious than usual, Prince Fradin is still full of confidence.
What if the monsters become stronger?
Now they are stronger than before!
Somehow.
Prince Fradin even has a vague premonition.
This monster red tide will definitely become a major turning point in history!
