"What?! The Kingdom of Dawn army is coming here! Are you sure you read that right?"

After hearing the news, Dill was shocked and quickly checked with the scout in front of him.

"It's absolutely true, Lord Dill." The scout nodded solemnly.

"Damn it!"

After receiving the affirmative answer, Dill was so angry that he raised his hand and hammered the table in front of him, and couldn't help but cursed: "What on earth do the Thunder Knights do? They can't even defend Einbeck, so the army of the Kingdom of Dawn

Drive straight in, come straight to me."

When Emperor Nilast deployed his army, he assigned an army of 40,000 people to Einbeck, led by the Thunder Knight himself.

Even with so many troops, they can't stop the Kingdom of Dawn's army from advancing. Is it because the Thunder Knight's ability to command the army is too poor, or is the opponent too powerful?

All in all, the current situation is very bad.

There are only about 5,000 remaining troops in the city of Gutils, and the total number of soldiers from the Kingdom of Dawn army and the elven army opposite is in the tens of thousands, so our own numbers are obviously at a disadvantage.

If the Kingdom of Dawn army and the elven army join forces to launch a siege, the defenders of Ancient Tiers will inevitably fall into a bitter fight.

Not to mention, the Kingdom of Dawn's army is also equipped with powerful new weapons. Faced with the enemy's powerful firepower, Gutiers may not be able to defend it.

Dill thought for a long time and finally made the decision to abandon the city and escape. He did not want to fight a losing war.

If you're punished, you'll be punished, Dill admitted.

I don’t know how the mass production plan of magic stone soldiers in the imperial capital of Weisbat is being implemented. Dill is planning to make a request to His Majesty the Emperor to send magic stone soldiers to deal with the Kingdom of Dawn army.

This can only be the case. Facing the new weapons of the Dawn Kingdom, the Popon Empire army is really helpless and must use some trump cards.

Therefore, while the large army of the Kingdom of Dawn had not yet arrived in Gutils, Dill handed over the task of guarding the city to his subordinates, while he led the knights to quietly evacuate from the south city gate after nightfall.

…

Two days later, the large army of the Kingdom of Dawn successfully arrived in Ancient Tiers and joined the advance troops and the army of the Venola Council.

In the camp of the Venola Council's army, Owen met the Elf Queen Igabella.

"King of Wells." Igabela showed a friendly smile, "I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and today I finally got my wish."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Owen asked curiously.

"Didn't you rescue many of my people in the Kingdom of Dawn and asked the Templars to send them back to Venora Forest?"

Igabera first explained, and then bowed lightly to Owen.

"On behalf of the persecuted tribesmen and the Venola Council, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you."

"Oh - so that's what happened."

Owen reacted immediately and happily accepted the other party's thanks.

"To be honest, at that time, the Kingdom of Morning Light hid a black underground organization called 'Egg' with a sphere of influence all over the country, specializing in slave trading and other criminal activities. It even endangered my life. Therefore, I was determined to eradicate this organization.

Saving your people is just a matter of course."

"Even so, you did not take things lightly, but properly settled my people and took great pains to send them back safely." Igabela still insisted, "King of Wells, although you are a human,

But it has gained the recognition and respect of all the elves."

"It's not just the elves who were sent back safely, but also other female demi-humans. I treat all demi-human races equally," Owen added.

Hearing this, Igabera's eyes changed when she looked at Irving, becoming more surprised and appreciative.

"Sure enough, Elle Renee is right. You are the most unique human being I have ever seen."

"Haha." Owen responded with a smile, "Other demihuman races have said similar things to me."

Next, the two sides began to discuss business and discuss how the two armies should cooperate to attack Gutils together.

The next morning, the armies of the two countries launched an attack on the city.

Due to the previous defeat and the Blood-devouring Knight Dill leading the knights to abandon the city and escape before the war, the morale of the soldiers defending the city was extremely low.

After the city gate was forcibly breached by large artillery, they laid down their weapons and surrendered without much resistance.

After easily capturing Gutils, the People's Army continued to demonstrate the strict discipline that a new type of army should have, quickly taking over the city's defense work and maintaining public order.

The troops of the Venola Council also maintained relative restraint and did not rob the property in the city or kill the civilians in the city.

This is because Owen and Iga Bella made rules before launching the siege——

Restrict their respective armies and refrain from wreaking havoc after entering the city, let alone harming innocent civilians.

After the prisoners were dealt with and order was restored in the city, Owen took several important subordinates and the Elf Queen Igabella and the others to hold a meeting in the castle to discuss the ownership of Gutils and the surrounding areas.

In the conference room, people from both sides sat on both sides of the long table.

"King of Wells."

Igabela was the first to speak: "Gutils and the surrounding areas were part of the Venola Forest a long time ago. Humans at that time cut down trees arbitrarily, violently expelled the elves, and built cities here without authorization. Although I am very grateful.

Your country’s support is needed, but we still hope that this land can be returned to the elves.”

"no problem."

Owen nodded without thinking and agreed: "Then Gutils will be managed by your elves."

Originally, the Venola Council joined the war in order to regain its lost land, and it also received a private commitment from the Fagarland Alliance.

Moreover, Owen intends to establish relations with the Venola Council and give away all the newly acquired land as a gesture, laying a good foundation for various exchanges and cooperation between the two parties in the future.

"Eh?"

The other party agreed so quickly, which was beyond Igabela's expectation. Even the elf elders present were a little surprised.

"Aren't you going to make some demands or conditions?" Igabela asked.

To be able to capture Gutiers, the Kingdom of Dawn's army put in a lot of effort, and the final result would naturally have to be shared by both parties.

I thought that the Kingdom of Dawn would make some demands for compensation, such as asking for the money stored in Gutils's treasury, etc.

In the end, the other party agreed directly without much thought. No matter how thick-skinned Igabela was, she would still feel a little embarrassed.

"Um……"

Owen reached out and touched his chin, groaned for a moment and then replied: "Then let's make some demands."
