For three days in a row, the cabinet members even had their meals in the conference room. When they could not stand it any longer, they would find a chair nearby and sleep. They could not leave because the Kingdom of Karen had just seized power in the cabinet, and the middle and lower levels were still mainly carried out by the old nobles. It had always been a headache for the cabinet to get these old classes to assist in the execution of government decrees.
What was more … the priority of the cabinet now was not to face the enemy, but to "protect themselves."
The Kingdom of Karen had just taken a breather after the last war. Under the sharp decline in population, many villages were almost barren. Now that they had suddenly entered a 'state of emergency', it meant that many farmers who had just rejoiced in the harvest had to immediately abandon their homes and retreat to the nearby fortresses … The various problems caused by this were far from something that could be easily solved by 'moving homes'.
But for the cabinet, preserving the population was an important task that took precedence over "eliminating the enemy." Within these three days, the cabinet had received more than 21 "alarms," which meant that most of the residents in the country were at risk of directly facing the forces of the demons.
Not only the Kingdom of Karen, but also Lassiman, Eiseka, and other countries on the mainland that Roddy had not yet come into contact with had experienced similar "demonic attacks."
Obviously, the other plane had launched a full-scale attack on part of the national boundaries.
Under the command of Her Majesty the Queen and the cabinet, Sodelor and the elders of the Five Dragons who were responsible for the deployment of troops jointly established the "Planar Counterattack General Command." They began to prepare for the war with the highest military order. At the same time, they began to speed up the recruitment. This time, the war would certainly not be the so-called "blitzkrieg." In the end, perhaps one side would completely lose the will to fight. Therefore, not only the first batch of troops began to assemble, but the established military schools and various "recruitment offices" began to completely open up and began to train more soldiers and sergeants on a large scale, ready to fill the frontline at any time.
Orders for food transportation and requisition signed by the cabinet flew everywhere like snowflakes. But until today, people in various regions of the country had just learned about the "demon invasion" from the newspapers or other channels.
But because Roddy had a firm control over the channels of public opinion, the entire kingdom didn't have a "panic" that led to an exodus. Instead, under the bombardment of repetitive information, the people calmly started the "evacuation" and "refuge" work.
For a long time, Roddy's authority through public opinion was proven here. No matter what the Cullen Times said, the people rarely questioned its authenticity. Therefore, the mobilization of ordinary people in the early stages of the war was much faster than during the reign of Charles II.
However, all of these actions seemed to be in slow motion compared to the actions of the higher-ups who had already begun.
Within three days, the Dragons who had been engaged in "scientific research" in the Magic Tower began to rotate. About one-third of the Dragons continued to stay in the laboratory to maintain technical research and development, while the other two-thirds became "scouts." Using the Dragons' excellent mobility, they began to fly to various "warning points" and quickly began to deal with and report the situation.
All of this was a response plan that had been formulated a long time ago. The lords of the five major Dragons had even drawn up a list a few months ago. Therefore, when the first batch of people at the western border had just retreated to the fortress, the Dragons who flew back from the grassland had already grabbed four Orcs and flown directly into the Magic Tower.
"Bam!"
These Orcs were thrown directly into the atrium of the Magic Tower by the dragons. Their bodies were huge. Even after experiencing the high-altitude cold flight and falling heavily to the ground, they still maintained their mobility at this time. Three of them quickly got up and roared, wanting to attack other mages in their line of sight.
But the surrounding spells quickly controlled them. At the same time, large restraints were prepared to tie these Orcs up on the spot, not giving them any chance to resist.
"Confirm confinement!"
"Transfer to Laboratory Sixteen!"
"Roger!"
The restraints were directly pulled away by the magic circle. The Dragons who had just transformed into human form and landed on the ground did not move. They stood on the magic circle for inspection, and finally confirmed that they had not been attacked by the demons. Only then did they deactivate the alert state.
"Safe!"
Hearing such words, the Green Dragon Sta who had been tense finally let out a sigh of relief. He quickly strode out of the examination hall, and along the corridor directly into the 'report hall'. After entering the door, he quickly said, "I only found a small number of Orcs, about seventy to eighty of them. They are wandering aimlessly on the grassland, and it seems that they are not organized …"
"Their combat strength is much stronger than ordinary Orcs. Some of them are a little strange, they are the ones I brought back. The rest of them are generally larger … "
As he spoke, the already prepared mages recorded the information, and then picked up a piece of paper that was still wet with ink, and ran in the direction of the cabinet.
Dozens of meters away, Talia, who was already wearing a white lab coat, looked at the Orcs that had just been pushed in, and looked nervously at Elder Usilian who was beside her.
"First do the isolation, then start the test according to the previous experimental order."
"Yes!"
The isolation circle was activated. This was to prevent others from being contaminated by the demonic aura of the Orcs. For a period of time, the laboratory had developed a variety of countermeasures. Everyone at the scene wore a protective belt for protection. Talia was also used to such a working method. She followed a magus named Moss to the front of an Orc. Looking at the Orc's swollen body that was almost deformed, she immediately realized that the Orc was stronger and more violent than the guys found at the construction site in the Kingdom of Karen.
"I thought that the Orc's body was already at its limit, but I didn't expect it to expand to such an extent … Why? Is it because the method of infection is different? Or … "
Talia took out a knife to do a skin defense level test. She forcefully stabbed the Orc's abdomen and asked with a frown.
"Maybe they are closer to the source of infection."
Moss made a guess. He took out a form and began to record the data, "Report the strength level."
But Talia did not respond. Moss immediately looked up and found that she had a pained expression on her face as she pressed her forehead. She suddenly took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground!
Without waiting for Moss to step forward, Talia shouted, "I heard a sound … Quickly isolate me! Quickly! "
She got up and stumbled towards the "isolation room" on the side. Elder Usilian, who had heard the movement, moved even faster. He picked her up and took a few steps forward, pushing them into the pure white room. He said, "Focus, we're going to activate the magic circle immediately!"
Talia nodded, and then saw Elder Usilian.
