In March 997, the new calendar, this year, there was no affordable monster meat on the market. Citizens living in the city had to tighten their clothes and eat a little to survive this spring famine.

As a lord, Link ordered the sale of wheat in stock several times since the New Year, but only slightly stabilized the grain prices and did not let the grain prices rise to the sky.

Link and Lucy, two legendary powerful men, bask in the sun on a sun lounger in the garden on a sunny day.

Starting from this year, the Holy Empire drew some nobles to participate in the war. However, the territory of the Marquis of Link Raphael was very good, not far from the front line of the Demon Ant Tide, but it was not the front line. In the end, the command given by the Holy Empire was to guard the Marquis of Raphael - after all, the Demon Ant Tide was also likely to rush over from the wasteland along the route of the migration of the monsters.

As for the five legions of the Holy Empire, they have taken turns to participate in the war with the Demon Ant Tide. The current five legions of the Holy Empire can be corrected except for one resting emperor. The rest are either fighting with the Demon Ant on the front line or fighting against demon ants who want to enter the border.

These five armies only had a scale of 100,000 people before the war, and after the war began, they were all expanded, each of which was more than 200,000 people.

But this has nothing to do with Link for the time being. All Link has to do is rest and then watch the old neighbor Duke Gattuso's house continue to bleed.

The market price of magic healing potion is three gold coins per bottle. It may be cheaper to buy in large quantities, but it will not be less than one gold coins per bottle. Every time a warrior is injured, one bottle will come, otherwise you have to wait for the wounded to die or retire with disabilities.

During the war, a veteran was obviously worth more than a bottle of magic healing potion.

The coalition of Duke Gattuso and Earl Adams is only tens of thousands of people. It is still very difficult to fight against the tens of thousands of demon ants day after day. In addition, there are not many magic soldiers in the Duke Gattuso's army, and there are no legendary strong men in charge. Continuous blood loss has become the daily routine of Duke Gattuso's battle.

The Duke of Gattuso led the army to fight with Count Adams for one year, and what he did was to prevent no major escapes in the territory. After all, this place is still a little closer to the Demon Ant Tide, and some people who value safety are more willing to go to the imperial capital. If you have the conditions, you will also choose to live in some cities in the north.

Fortunately, the food in the imperial capital is expensive and life is not easy.

For territory like Marquis Raphael, the price of grain increased by 50% or 60% compared to before the war. However, the price of wheat in the imperial capital was higher than that of border nobles like Marquis Raphael. Now, the price of grain in the imperial capital has doubled compared to before the war. So many troops, civilians, refugees, and new immigrants all have to eat food, and the price of grain has not increased to heaven, so the regulation has been effective.

After a while, Lucy, who was lying on the lounge chair, said: "This place is very suitable for retirement."

Link thought for a while, took out a glass bottle from the storage wrist guard and threw it to Lucy: "Send it to you."

Lucy used magic to identify it: "It's not bad, but it's not very useful to both of us."

Link: "Can you still give it to someone?"

Lucy looked at Life Crystal Lu: "There is only one, who will give it to whom?"

Link thought about it and gave Lucy two bottles of ten-year life crystal dew. Except for the two bottles that his two wives drank, all ten-year life crystal dew are here. This thing is basically just for humans to use, and for half-elves, it is all optional.

For Link and Lucy, they have eaten the fruits of the Golden World Tree, even the century-old life dew is just the icing on the cake.

The bottle of life crystal dew in Link's hand was about to be left to his younger sister Lin Qi. With his younger sister's qualifications, it would be difficult to advance to become a magician unless she could awaken her blood skills continuously.

Link himself has probably given up on studying magic, which is too time-consuming. Magic researchers like His Highness Helena have to lock themselves in the laboratory for more than half a day.

This is unacceptable for both lords and humans.

However, for a long-lived species like His Highness Helena, it is easy to feel world-weary if you don’t find something to do all year round. In other words, longevity also has the pain of longevity.

Lucy got three bottles of Life Crystal Dew and put them in her storage space: "I will get a few more bottles in the future, and I will have more best friends."

Link: "It's very fast."

For Link, Life Crystal Dew is just the queen of the demon ants and the demon ants eggs. Although a large nest of demon ants can only exchange for a ten-year life Crystal Dew, it seems a bit of a loss if someone else can only burn these demon ants eggs.

The Demon Ant Tide has been around for two years, and the range of attacks is getting bigger and bigger. There is no way to do this. Who made the Demon Ant Tide implement the policy of leaving nowhere to pass?

As long as you fly to the sky, you will soon see where the demon ant tide has reached - because there will only be bare stone mountains and loess left there, and the rest is grass green and the boundaries are clear.

Link and Lucy go to the sky almost every day to see where the Demon Ant Tide is. Of course, if the Demon Ant Tide encounters Lucy, Lucy will throw it down with a fire sea technique every time, and at least thousands of demon ants can be burned to death. Although it is insignificant to the total number of demon ants, the Demon Ant Tide that is thrown down with a fire sea technique every day and marchs towards the Marquis of Link Raphael's territory is still slower than the other fronts controlled by the Demon Ant Tide.

As the devil ant tide was gradually advancing on the earth, on April 5, 997, the new calendar, Link and Lucy concluded that in a month, the devil ant tide would come to the territory of Marquis Raphael.

To be precise, the Demon Ant Tide will enter the new immigrant village in the territory of the Marquis of Link Raphael in one month. The premise is that the Demon Ant Tide does not turn or receive other large-scale blows.

For Link, the day of taking up weapons to fight with the Demon Ant is coming soon. Link cannot wait until the Demon Ant Tide reaches his homeland before taking action.

According to Link's experience, as long as you kill or seriously injured and sacrifice the demon ants queen who have basically no combat power but are legendary life, the demon ants in this nest will kill each other according to different types of troops. However, the winner must be the most ordinary demon ants, after all, there are the largest number of such demon ants.

At that time, just find the room where the demon ant eggs are piled up, and sacrifice to the life crystal dew is just a little bit.
