Chapter 5 The Twilight of the Empire

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The resilience of the patchwork imperial army in White River City exceeded Solomon's expectations.

Perhaps realizing that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of the empire, these reinforcements from all over the empire showed unprecedented fighting spirit and unity.

Despite the help of two giant dragons, the battle continued from early morning to dusk.

There were corpses everywhere in the city, blocking the streets. The family flags embroidered with various coats of arms were discarded on the ground like garbage, covered with blood, water and soil, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The Yi people paid a price of nearly two thousand people to achieve the final victory.

This number made Solomon look a little ugly.

The expedition force he brought to Bratis Continent this time only had less than 16,000 people. During this period, they were fighting in various places. Although they won consecutive battles, in wars, even if they kept winning, they would still lose their numbers.

So far, he has lost more than 3,000 compatriots, and there are still more than 2,000 wounded in the army. Even though only a small number of people have permanently lost their fighting ability, this still makes Solomon feel a sense of crisis.

He realized that he needed to give his troops a rest. Capturing Lionheart Castle and winning the battle of White River City had proven to the people on this continent their strength and the weakness of the Red Lion Empire.

Next, Solomon will win over a group of powerful and ambitious lords and let them conquer other places, and he will also send dragons to assist.

However, the main force will focus on recuperation and try to only use it in key battles.

Solomon was still thinking about what to do next, when he saw his leader Sigmund coming over.

The so-called leader is the person who flies at the front and leads the direction of the army.

Only the person with the best vision, the best endurance, the bravest and the most agile can become the leader.

Sigmund's expression was solemn, "Lord Solomon, Sharjah is missing."

Solomon frowned when he heard this, but still said, "He performed very bravely in the previous battle. If you want to have some fun after the war, let him go."

"But I'm afraid the fun he wants to have this time is not simple." Sigmund said, "Not long ago, someone saw Sharjah leaving White River City with a group of people and flying to the west."

"West?"

"I asked the person who spoke to him at the end, and that person said that Sharjah told him to go to the Western Region and find the female lord named Yin Leiya to avenge Moen and others."

"That idiot!"

This was the first time that Sigmund saw Solomon so angry, and there was even a trace of killing intent in his eyes, but Solomon soon regained his composure.

"How many people did he take?"

"The seven warriors from the Golden Eagle Tribe, the two people from the White Back Tribe who are close to him, and the four people from the Owl Tribe are basically his cronies."

Sigmund asked, "Do we need to adjust our strategy for Sharjah and use the western border as the next target?"

"No need." Solomon said, "Let's follow the previous plan. Let the word go out first. Those who want to be loyal to us can rush to Lionheart Castle within a month. The first person to arrive can get a large area of ​​land."

Sigmund nodded, but then he couldn't help but ask again, "Sir Solomon, are you really going to let Sharjah do this nonsense? If anything happens to him, Lord Zebulun..."

"Lord Zebulun is not in the Bratis continent." Solomon said, "Wait until he comes here and then come to me to challenge him. Besides, the thirteen people Sharjah took away are all good players.

"Even if we can't kill the female lord named Yin Leiya, there shouldn't be any danger." Solomon said, "Let's focus on more important things."

…………

Miss Rabbit, who was far away in the green field, sneezed at this time, and she didn't know who was talking about her again.

Since she made her feelings clear, the girl felt that her relationship with Merlin was heating up. However, before she had time to be happy, she was stunned by a series of bad news.

Lionheart Castle was captured, and the body of Emperor Garth was hung on the city gate early the next morning. Then a little later, Miss Rabbit received news of the defeat of the White River City defenders.

It is said that less than 20,000 of the 100,000 people escaped, and the rest either died in battle or became prisoners, including many nobles, and many families suffered heavy casualties.

The only good news is that the 10,000 people led by Hells escaped because they walked too slowly and did not have time to reach White River City.

In addition, as the Elf Kingdom declared war on the Empire, the dwarves on the other side of the Dragon Crest Mountains became a little restless. Everyone saw the weakness of the Red Lion Empire at this time, and the dwarves also wanted to get a piece of the pie.

However, without the savage allies, it will not be easy to cross the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

In addition, in order to survive, the dwarf prince Ollie made a big deal about Yin Leiya and Shuangxiu after returning, which made the dwarf king Helei fearful of the female lord.

In the end, it was decided to bypass the Dragon Ridge Mountains and launch an attack on the Golden Valley region instead. However, the princes of the Golden Valley region were not vegetarians either.

It is a famously wealthy place in the empire. The lords are generally very wealthy and well-equipped (many of which are weapons and armor purchased from dwarves). The Campbell family is also famous for their resourcefulness, and there is probably something for both sides to fight.

After looking around, Miss Rabbit found that apart from the Western Territory where she was, and the more remote, snow-covered Northern Territory, there seemed to be no place in the empire that had not been involved in the war.

Moreover, the female lord knew very well that the peace in the Western Region was only temporary.

Those Wing Tribe people set foot on the continent of Bratis just to conquer this land, so no one can stay out of it.

So the female lord planned to summon her most trusted vassals and advisers to discuss what to do next when Li Yu came next time.

But what Miss Rabbit didn't expect was that before Li Yu came, she had to wait for another uninvited guest.

"What, what do you mean the Scaled City was lost?"

Miss Rabbit looked at the young Silver Moon Church priest in front of her who looked dusty and had just walked a lot, and wondered, "Did those Wing Tribe people launch a surprise attack on you?"

"No, it's Herodotus, it's Herodotus's Blood Moon Society. They started planning a long time ago and finally succeeded in triggering a rebellion in the Scaled City."

The young priest's eyes were red and he said in a hoarse voice, "The thugs of the Blood Moon Society have now occupied the Scaled City. They killed six high priests. Only the high priest Quintus escaped. He has now gone to

Yanxue City is asking for help."
