"The church is a minion of dark creatures, wanting to destroy the entire continent... This... this is too scary!"
After hearing what their adults said, Thomas and Mario screamed in horror on the spot.
In the hearts of these natives, dark creatures are the most evil and terrifying existences in heaven and earth.
But now it is discovered that the church has a relationship with dark creatures, and is also planning to turn the Glory Continent into a habitat for dark creatures. Doesn't that mean that if the church succeeds?
No matter who it is, not even beasts can escape being slaughtered by dark creatures!
"It is indeed terrifying, so this war is crucial to all of us. If we lose, the Glory Continent will cease to exist and become the back garden of dark creatures."
"Sir, do you think we have any hope of victory?" The two people reflected and looked at Nalant cautiously.
"There is definitely hope. Although the church is powerful, its number is too small. They only rely on the army of the Northern Principality!"
"And we have been fighting against the Northern Principality's army for decades, and we always win more than they do!"
Narant was actually unsure, but even though he told the secret to the two of them, he still needed to reassure people, so he spoke as lightly as possible.
"That's good!" The two felt that what their adults said was very reasonable, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about these things. Our Agate Principality has at least an 80% chance of victory this time!"
"Of course, sir, I am a person who pursues stability. Even if there are only 20% instability factors, I will make complete plans!"
"And this time I call you here, in addition to telling you the secrets of the church, I also want to tell you this important matter."
"After my lord sets off on the expedition, you must be prepared to evacuate at any time..."
Next, Nalant told the two of them the purpose of calling them here.
That is to prepare the two of them to evacuate at any time after they go on the expedition.
This evacuation is not just about evacuating the population, but also the complete transfer of all important existences on the territory.
For example, plants include grapes, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, etc.
The elves, big elves, and serfs were all included.
As for the direction of retreat, it was naturally the newly opened passage deep in the grassland.
"Both of you, remember that this matter must be carried out secretly. No serfs can notice it before getting my order, otherwise it may cause chaos in the territory."
"And adults are just doing this just in case, so if there is chaos, it will be a big loss!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Okay! Then you two can rest easy. Apart from this matter, you will help me take care of other things in the territory during this period!"
"Yes, sir, I look forward to your triumphant return!"
Although they still had a little worry in their hearts, looking at the adult's normal expression, the two of them really felt that what the adult explained today was just a precaution.
…
After telling Thomas and Mario, Nalant came directly outside the castle.
And all his subordinates have already assembled.
Because this battle was crucial, Narant prepared to take all the guards away.
Of course, the only exception is the five storm knights on the grassland, who must stay because of the space rift.
As for the others, even the castle guards were taken away.
As for the safety of the castle and territory, Nalant will ask Mario to temporarily recruit twenty barbarian coolies to maintain the safety of the castle.
"Meet the adults!"
Twenty storm knights, seventy barbarian guards including wild wolf knights, plus 350 ordinary guards.
When everyone saw Narant's arrival, they all bowed in unison.
"I believe you already know the reason why I called you here. This battle is different from last year's Autumn Campaign."
"Our principality has been invaded. Their purpose is to occupy our land and take away our houses and food."
"So, I am about to take you on an expedition to drive these damn invaders out of our Agate Principality."
"All of you, during last year's winter, followed me and killed all the terrifying dark creatures that invaded my territory!"
"Your bravery that time was recognized by me, and this time, facing the more vulnerable invaders of the Northern Principality, tell me whether you can be more brave than last time!"
Nalant did not hesitate, and immediately started a brief mobilization after standing still.
"Can!"
"I can't hear you, can you please?"
"Can!"
"We can!" A group of soldiers shouted with their heads held high.
"Very good! Everyone, let's set out now to gain merit on the battlefield and drive the invaders back to their hometowns!" Nalant nodded with satisfaction.
"I swear to serve you to the death!"
"Set off!"
The brief mobilization for the expedition was finally completed, and Nalant immediately waved his hand and gave the order to set off.
And he himself was riding a white dragon, walking at the front, guarded by a group of storm knights.
Of course, he also brought his own luxury carriage this time.
The luxury carriage is an excellent-level existence, and it is also equipped with two fifth-level magic beasts. Its safety and comfort will definitely not hinder it on the battlefield.
The mighty team set off from the gentle slope of the castle and disappeared at the end of the road not long after.
Time turned to noon the next day.
"Nalant, why is the situation so urgent? Didn't it say that the recruitment order for the Northern Principality was issued just a week ago? By the time we reach the edge of the desert, they may have just arrived!"
Boris hurriedly led the team to meet Narant on the road outside the territory, even the helmet on his head was tied a little crookedly.
It was obvious that Narant's notice was very unexpected for him.
"Boris, although the army of the Northern Principality has not arrived, the church has started to attack with the army originally stationed in the desert. It is estimated that they will soon arrive at the castle of Earl Feidi. Our Lord Earl had already attacked two days ago
Let’s set off!”
"What, the church is about to arrive at Count Ferdy's castle!" Boris was shocked.
"That's right, so we have to rush there quickly!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go, Naland. I don't want to have another church in my territory in the future, and I don't want to be divided into taxes by the church!" Boris did not dare to neglect now, and directly urged Nalan.
Special departure.
Even Nalant's shiny new carriage didn't have time to start studying it immediately.
Immediately, the two teams merged together and headed straight towards the north.
Their route this time required them to go to Tulip City first, then head northwest from the avenue outside Tulip City, and then meet up with Bernard's team.
In the next two days, Nalant notified five barons along the way, gathered with these nobles and continued on his way.
The other Tulip vassals that followed did not need to be notified by him, because Bernard's own messengers had already joined them.
