Five years later.
With bulging cheekbones and a thick stubble on his chin, Muyi led more than three hundred Knight Guards from Moth Frog City and more than two hundred aristocratic Knight Guards to the Rocky Mountain Iron Mine and Blood Agate Mine that Dawn Protector City had taken away from Moth Frog City more than twenty years ago.
Moth Frog City's nearby Sweet Potato City had reached an agreement with Moth Frog City to attack together. However, the price that Moth Frog City had to pay was not only a huge amount of gold coins, but also 50% of the profits from the Blood Agate Mine!
After much consideration, Grimm actually agreed.
Compared to the profits from these two mines, Grimm's priority was to prevent the three cities around Moth Frog Town from reaching the conditions of an alliance. In the past two years, the conflict between the excessive growth of population and the relative backwardness of the economy had begun to erupt in the three cities, and it seemed like it could not be suppressed at any time.
On the contrary, the natural growth rate of Moth Frog Town's population continued to rise steadily. The latecomers caught up and began to overtake the other three cities.
In addition, Moth Frog City had also attracted a large number of outsiders to seek a livelihood.
"Commander Muyi, I've long heard that a genius Legendary Knight has appeared in Moth Frog Town. Now that I've seen him today, he's indeed extraordinary. Hahahaha."
The eyes of the Sweet Potato City's Commander, who carried a blood-red axe on his shoulder, shone brightly. Behind him was an army of more than three hundred Knights.
Although this person was not a legendary knight and could not activate the power of blood and qi, his strange strength was not inferior to Muyi's, and might even be a little stronger.
"Commander Al."
Muyi still had a quiet and steady appearance. He was clad in metal armor, and the white warhorse he was riding on looked extremely majestic.
The two teams merged into one, and the two commanders set up an offensive formation. Looking at the Dawn Protector City's defending knights on the relatively flat hillside, they waved their weapons forward fiercely.
"Defeat them!"
…
Seven days later, Grimm in the Governor's Mansion received news that Moth Frog City had successfully recaptured two mines.
"Yes."
Grimm nodded, looked at the knight kneeling on one knee, and said faintly, "Tell Muyi that before the Dawn Protector City sends an envoy, he can stay there. I will send the follow-up supplies at any time. His task is not only to guard the mine, but also to take the initiative to attack. "
"Yes."
The knight replied and walked out.
Grimm had been on Demon-Hunting expeditions for many years and had never thought of passively defending.
The two mines had gathered the main forces of Dawn Protector City. If they did not take the initiative to attack and maintain a threatening posture, it would be too stupid if the other party bypassed the mines and attacked Moth Frog City for revenge.
…
One month later.
"Humph, the sixth disciple of the Great Martial Uncle is really bad-tempered. Not only did he start a full-scale war, but he also dragged Datong City into this. It seems that he won't stop until he dies."
Although Love Bee City did not agree to Moth Frog City's joint attack plan, they had been successfully alienated and indicated that they would not interfere in this matter.
He just did not expect Dawn Protector City to find another helper. Although Datong City was not adjacent to Moth Frog City, it was adjacent to Dawn Protector City.
Now, only fourteen years had passed, and the new population of Dawn Protector City's Birth Reward Plan had not yet formed combat power. It would take at least two to three years to form initial combat power and become stronger.
On the other hand, Grimm's road-building plan would take more than five years.
However, once this road was completed, Moth Frog City would usher in a period of rapid increase in strength. Grimm was confident that by then, Moth Frog City would no longer be able to be resisted by one or two small, backward cities.
At the same time, although Moth Frog City did not implement a population birth reward system, with the increase in the wealth of the residents, the infant mortality rate was greatly reduced, which could be considered as a significant increase in the fertility rate. However, since Moth Frog City's wealth only began after the gold mine was fully developed, the demographic dividend would only be reflected after ten years.
Grimm calculated in his heart.
Generally speaking, the next three years from two years later would be the time when the combat power between Moth Frog City and Dawn Protector City would change.
As long as Grimm's Moth Frog City could survive these three years, Moth Frog City would have a smooth journey in the future. If it could not survive, there would be no future to speak of.
The road project that Grimm built in the early stage would become the welfare of others.
It seemed that he had to quickly raise a large sum of money to prepare to survive the three years of weakness!
Now, Moth Frog City's strength was far above Dawn Protector City, there was no need to be afraid at all. Datong City was just joining in the fun, and it would naturally fade away in a few months, just like Sweet Potato City.
With this thought in mind, Grimm shouted, "Accounting Manager."
With wealth, his means became more flexible, such as … mercenaries!
Now that there were several chambers of commerce that had reached a trade contract agreement with Moth Frog City, Grimm could use his identity as the governor of Moth Frog City to let these chambers of commerce issue employment missions outside of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy.
…
Half a month later.
Grimm gave a passionate speech in Moth Frog City, and tens of thousands of Moth Frog City residents watched.
Generally speaking, Grimm accused Dawn Protector City of greed and sin. Decades ago, they had forcibly plundered the two mines that belonged to Moth Frog City, and now Moth Frog City was just trying to take back what belonged to them.
As the governor of Moth Frog City, Grimm called on the Knights in the city to unite and defend the honor of Moth Frog City!
It had to be said that if Grimm talked about honor and justice when he first came to Moth Frog City as the governor, he would definitely be secretly ridiculed by all the residents. However, after the prestige that Grimm had established in the city over the years, and the "etiquette brainwashing" process taught by Little Eight in the Knights Teaching School, these Knights began to have the values of honor in their hearts.
"Defend the justice of Moth Frog City!"
"Defend the glory of Moth Frog City!"
With ease, Grimm gathered more than a thousand well-trained Knights at a low cost and set off for the battlefield. This force was enough to resist the simultaneous attack of Dawn Protector City and Datong City.
This was Grimm's expenditure on etiquette teaching more than a decade ago, and now it had been repaid tenfold!
These Knights who guarded the justice and glory of Moth Frog City would save Grimm a huge amount of gold coins, and these gold coins would allow the small city to hire incredible foreign aid in the future.
"Caw caw caw caw, Young Master, did I pass the mission?"
Little Eight stood on Enigma No. 1, confidently waiting for Grimm's praise.
Over the years, Little Eight had established an unshakable majestic image among the younger generation of Knights in Moth Frog City. Basically, every word that Little Eight said was a great truth in the ears of the new generation of Knights.
Little Eight had even compiled a set of "Knight's Principles", the content of which was probably a summary of the principles of each Stigmata Sorcerer during each Demon-Hunting Expedition.
In short, it was:
If I hit you when you're not wrong, it's not my fault. It's the cruelty of fate and rules, it's the arrangement of the superior's orders. I'm just protecting the Knights' obedience instinct.
If I hit you when you're wrong, then I'm right. I'm maintaining the justice and peace of the world. I'm honorable, and I'm hitting you on behalf of the whole world.
Are you convinced or not?
Grimm read through Little Eight's "Knight's Principles". With Grimm's Sorcerer wisdom, this was the gist of it.
"Hmm, not bad. It seems that Teacher Little Eight is very talented in teaching students, haha."
After Grimm praised Little Eight generously, he threw out a few Magic Stones and said, "This is your reward."
The reward was just a small matter, but it was enough to make Little Eight scream excitedly, "Caw caw caw caw! Young Master, just wait for Little Eight's "Knight's Dignity and Glory" to come out, caw caw caw caw! "
