Li Yu noticed the girl's expression and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ilea nodded, "It's Adele. I just received the news from her. They seem to have encountered some trouble."
"Gunn led the militia to exterminate a group of bandits. It turned out that those guys were more numerous than expected, and their equipment was better than ordinary bandits. Fortunately, Gunn and the others finally won.
"It was just when I was taking inventory of the battlefield that I discovered that the armor those people were wearing seemed to come from the south."
"south?"
"That's right." Miss Rabbit spit out a name, "Claudio, they may be Claudio's people."
With Ilea defeating Solomon and his wing tribe army, in the past year, the continent of Bratis has experienced a sudden change.
Allister was the first to become king, leading the 30,000-strong army of the Monteverde family to leave the north. With the support of the Church of Life, he captured Eagle Castle with lightning speed, and then successively captured Black Castle.
Fog City and Coldwater Bay.
This also shocked the nearby noble lords. Facing Allister's army, some chose to surrender, while others, especially the new nobles canonized by the Wing tribe, were worried that they would be attacked by the Vespasian family.
liquidation.
So they joined together and assembled an army of fifty thousand people to drive Allister and his troops back to the north.
However, they underestimated Allister and the Church of Life led by Priest Cornelia.
Before the war started, the new nobles lost their leader, who was beheaded by an assassin who appeared out of nowhere.
People were panicked for a while, and a new commander was finally elected. There was widespread diarrhea in the army, which seemed to be caused by drinking unclean water.
Allister took advantage of this moment to launch a decisive battle, defeated the armies of the new nobles in one fell swoop, and occupied the Crescent Land.
He kept walking and continued to lead his army towards the Red Plains. He also announced that he would retake Lionheart Castle, which shocked the entire continent.
However, in the Red Plains, Allister and his northern army encountered an opponent. The green dragon named Storm Lord brought them a lot of trouble.
Allister was eventually forced to retreat to the Crescent, but this expedition had demonstrated his will and strength to rebuild the Red Lion Empire, attracting many nobles to defect to him.
And just when Allister returned to the Crescent, something happened in the south of the continent. The woodland princes who had been defeated by the elves came back, and this time they also received help from the Anlor people next door.
Although the Anlor people are not many in number, they are all excellent hunters and spies. They are light on their feet and have excellent observation skills. They are also very good at camouflaging and fighting in the woods.
Their joining greatly weakened the elves' advantage in the forest. After a fierce battle, the forest princes regained their territory and declared Claudio as their new king.
Like Allister, Claudio is also a member of the royal family of the Red Lion Empire, the brother of the previous emperor Garth, the second son of Edward II, and should be ahead of Allister in the line of succession.
He disappeared after the Wing Tribesmen broke through Lionheart Castle. Many people thought he was dead, but unexpectedly he appeared again and ran to the south, gaining support from the woodland princes.
Although Claudio also issued a statement, claiming like his brother that he would drive those wing invaders out of the Bratis continent, he did not rush to lead his army northward, but continued southward, stepping into the Evergreen Land.
Sen, continue the war with the elves.
The situation in the woodland is different from that in the north. If he wants to compete with Allister for the throne, Claudio must first solve the trouble in his own rear.
Fortunately, the elves have always been at a disadvantage in the war with the empire. These pointy-eared guys have amazing achievements in art and aesthetics, and can also make beautiful glassware.
However, their skills in warfare are not very good, and they are not as good at making armor and weapons as the dwarves. They have always lost more than they won against the empire's army, and can only rely on their familiarity with the forest to fight guerrillas.
But they could not resist the encroachment of the empire on them. The so-called forest land was actually the land of the elves in the past, but it was later opened up by the imperial nobles. The Evergreen Forest occupied by the elves now is not as good as the lost forest land in terms of area alone.
Moreover, those Imperial people are still eyeing their remaining homeland. If Heloise hadn't become the Queen of the Empire, the elves might be burning glass for the Imperial masters now.
And now that Heloise is dead, Claudio will certainly no longer be polite to those elves.
Moreover, it was the elves who made the first move this time, uniting with the Wing tribesmen to invade the forest. Who knew that the Wing tribesmen suddenly became incapacitated, so of course the elves, as their allies, had no good harvest now.
Although the Elf King Yilan took the lead and led his own bodyguards to fight on the front line, the past happened again. The elves were unable to withstand the attacks of the woodland princes and retreated steadily from the beginning.
Elan sent an envoy to Lionheart Castle to ask for help from the Wing Tribe people, but the news the envoy brought back made the elves even more desperate.
In order to deal with the threat from the north, the Yi people can no longer take care of matters in the south.
So three months later, Claudio captured the royal court of the elves and captured the elf king Yilan. This also meant that the last homeland of the elves, the Evergreen Forest, was also declared to have fallen.
Claudio did not embarrass the elves, but asked them to send the most powerful warriors among the three thousand tribes to follow him. The remaining elves could obtain the status of citizens of the empire, but the prerequisite was that they must marry the imperial people.
A group of unmarried woodland nobles set an example and married many girls from the elven royal family as wives.
Yilan knew that Claudio wanted to forcibly integrate the elves into the empire, but he was no longer able to resist.
Yilan now regrets in her heart that she didn't listen to her daughter and sided with the Wing Tribe people too early. Not only did she fail to regain the lost ground, but she also lost all her capital.
When she thought that he was probably the last Elf King of the Elf clan, Yilan felt ashamed to face her ancestors again.
On the opposite side of him is Claudio. After solving the troubles behind him, he can finally turn his attention to the north and join the battle for Red Plains.
At the same time, the Yi tribe also introduced a new king. The identity of that person was also very simple. He was from the Lanster family, one of the twelve nobles.
The Lanster family is the oldest family among the twelve nobles. Their family history can be traced back to 10,000 years ago, when the first ancestors arrived on this continent.
