This is said to be related to the changes that occurred in the Cruz Empire. Since the death of Black Moon, trade has begun to decrease significantly. www. But fortunately, with the help of the Nagas, at least the path to Airland Tower and Naze is guaranteed.
Our routes are still open.
But this is not good news. The army of Fir Territory has already moved to the north. I heard from a letter from home that both Mintai and Alder have begun to evacuate southward and crossed the Gers River. Now the refugees are gathering in Fir Territory.
, some gathered in Gris, the harsh winter has not passed, it seems that we have returned to those times before the flowers and summer leaves.
At these times, the captain couldn't help but miss the time when the lord was still in the territory.
Recently, bad rumors about Her Royal Highness the Princess and the staff lady have begun to circulate in the territory, vividly depicting these two women usurping the position of the earl. Although the captain feels that this is very nonsense, everyone can see that Miss Antitina
Loyal to the lord.
However, he also felt that since the lord left, Tony Geer's life has indeed become more and more difficult day by day. This may be related to the turmoil in the southern territory, but it makes it difficult for people to trust the ability of the eldest princess.
Days like this made him feel worried. Although the struggle for power between the nobles and the royal family had nothing to do with them, the bottom class of Eruin, no Tonigel was willing to go back to the past.
"Captain, I heard that the army in the north are all monsters?" The youngest sentry in the sentry tower stared at the dark red flames in the darkness. There seemed to be a ball of fire in his dark eyes. He looked at the roaring fire.
The lid of the teapot suddenly said.
"Don't talk nonsense, where did this monster come from?"
"I heard from a businessman who came from the north. He heard that the nobles in the north colluded with monsters and killed the eldest son of the king. Otherwise, why would they come here? The eldest son of the king has obviously made peace with us.
"
The captain glared at him: "That's nonsense."
However, he also felt uneasy in his heart. It seemed that a massacre had indeed occurred in Ampelser, and many merchants who came here from the north to take refuge were panicked. Some of them told vividly about the battle and how horrific the scene was.
But such rumors also increased the tension in Tonigel.
The little sentry added a branch to the stove, and a ball of sparks burst out from the flame. He asked again: "Captain, do you think Lord Nimesis can win?"
"Of course, what nonsense are you talking about!" the captain replied angrily: "We have the White Lion Guard, the cavemen, and the Buga fleet. Who is our opponent in Eruin?"
"But everyone is unsure. Have you heard, Captain? I heard that the rebels are also backed by Bugas."
"The Buga people are also divided into many branches. Didn't Ms. Nymesis say that those who participated in the rebellion are only a very small branch among them. When other Buga people react, they will be finished."
"What if we lose first before the other Buga people react?"
"Where do you come from with so much nonsense?" The captain gave him a shudder angrily: "If you lose, you lose. The sky won't fall. Besides, the lord has not come back yet. When the lord comes back, these guys will be counted.
Shit!"
The little sentry said "Ouch" and quickly held his head. However, the captain's words made the sentry tower quiet for a moment. Everyone stopped talking and looked in this direction.
Yes, the lord has not come back yet.
But he will definitely come back.
Everyone in Tonigel still remembers the miracle of Pallas and Ampelsel's turning the tide. He was a man who changed the impossible into the possible. Any difficulty in front of him seemed to be a smooth road.
It was an almost blind confidence.
A crackling sound suddenly came from the top of the building, and everyone looked up. They saw Hadrian rolling down the stairs in a pee and falling into the pile of firewood below.
"Team, captain, there is someone!"
"Who is it?" The captain stood up almost instantly, picked up the teapot and poured the tea inside on the fire. Sparks flew with a 'chi' sound, and smoke rose. The people outside immediately closed the door, and several sentries were already there.
Take the crossbow off the shelf.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Hadrian suppressed his blush and made dancing signs.
"****, please calm down, it's just an enemy attack." The captain kicked him, "Tell me clearly, are the rebels' thugs coming around? If so, we will kill them."
Ass!"
"No, no, no," Hadrian climbed up from the ground and gestured: "Yes, yes, yes... it's the lord!"
"What?"
The captain almost thought he heard wrongly.
But at this moment, the door outside was knocked open with a bang, and it was the sentry who stayed outside who came in. Both of them looked like they had seen a ghost. Behind them, a man with a handheld hand came in.
A lady with a halberd and a long ponytail.
…
Bai Jia silently stared at Mintai on the other side of the Gris River. Snowflakes began to fall sporadically in the sky. The snow this winter has come late enough that drought and insect infestations can almost be foreseen in the coming year. However, Tonigel has a druid.
With their apprentices, things may be a little better, but in other areas, life is not so easy.
The winter rain and snow were freezing and biting, but she only wore a shawl over her armor, and even refused a fur vest. The army from the Fir Territory was crossing the ferry, but the number of these troops was very small, and the main force was stationed in
The Third Regiment of the White Lion Guards of Gers.
"You really don't need to bring the cavemen and the fleet with you? Miss Antitina told me before she left that if necessary, I can authorize part of Valhalla to you." Monica, the light spirit, said before her
Said the person next to me.
Bai Jia shook his head: "This is just to cover the retreat of the Mintai leader, not to fight a decisive battle with the rebels."
"So when is the best time?"
"At least until we figure out who our opponent is."
"Not just Buga people?"
Bai Jia nodded.
In the past month, news of the White Mountain Disaster has finally spread across the continent like a plague.
The news that the Buga people withdrew from the talks from the Wilderness of the Four Realms shocked the entire Warend, and the conflict between the undead and the wind elves also intensified. However, the Eruin people had no time to pay attention to these things that were still far away from them. The eldest son of the king, Lie
Vin Onesson disappeared near Pelican Castle, which caused uneasiness among the northern nobles almost overnight.
But before they had time to express their protest, a mysterious army that originated from Yanbao had already marched south. In just half a month, it conquered Korkova, Ash Mountain and Sifah, and
The Eruin Navy and the White Lions besieged Yanilasu and Balta respectively.
By the middle of the Sleeping Month, this army had already arrived at the city of Ampelsel.
It was at this time that no one thought that the Gray Mage of the Thassard people would openly tear up the sacred covenant and intervene in the civil war of the mortal kingdom. Therefore, with the push from the Buga people behind the scenes, civil strife broke out in Denel.
The traffic and communication on the front lines from Lantoniland, Jeandenel and Silman were completely interrupted, and the territories of Ampesel and Vlada, which had lost their rear, also fell one after another.
Her Royal Highness the Princess lost contact with the little prince. There was no news at all. The first column of the White Lion Army fulfilled their duties faithfully in Ampelsel, and the second column was blocked in Sifach on the other side of Vlada, while Wang Li
The Knights suffered a disastrous defeat at Vlada.
As if in the blink of an eye, Bai Jia found herself facing all this alone.
The last news she received was about the fact that the mysterious army had crossed Vlada-Pest and was heading straight for Pallas, the fortress in the north of Tonigel.
Bai Jia understood that the fall of Pallas was just a matter of time. Brando had never deployed a real defense in that direction. The core of Tonigel's defense line was only Valhalla.
But is Valhalla really good enough to rely on?
As that large army moved south and joined the Gendenel rebels, Bai Jia gradually saw the outline behind the entire incident.
While some people swear that the nobles of the north are colluding with demons, others believe that they are rebels from the usurper of Yan Castle, and there are even rumors about the conspiracy of the Cruz people.
But Bai Jia can already smell the scent of the Thassard Alliance behind the rebels. History has begun to derail, and the Wizarding War is coming as scheduled. But there is still a third party's power in this war, which is inconsistent with the history she knows.
Not consistent.
The key factor is Yan Castle.
That mysterious army that originated from Yanbao.
In Bai Jia's memory of that dream, Yan Bao's only memory was of the crystal forest. It was the crystal cluster. She felt that she had found the third party on the battlefield, Sassard.
Man has formed an alliance with the Dragon of Dusk earlier than in history.
But why would they go to war with a mere Eruin?
Bai Jia suddenly thought of what Freya brought back, the words Brando Sophie brought to her. Could it be that there is really any secret hidden under Eruin?
Otherwise, why is it so unique? She still remembers the local people's description of the day when Black Moon fell and died. The pillar of light rising into the sky caused Eruin to suffer almost minimal losses in that disaster.
"It would be great if Sophie were here." Bai Jia couldn't help but murmured.
She didn't know how she could win this war. Opposite Pallas were the Thassards, heretics, minions of dusk and the rebels in the south, a huge coalition that was almost impossible to defeat.
And she still had to hope that Her Highness the Princess would be safe.
"You look troubled?"
"It's naturally very difficult. Eruin's opponents have never been set up for enemies of the same level as the Sasardians. At least not now."
"We can use the slate that Miss Akane sent back. Mr. Tamar has temporarily lent it to me. It can transmit far more magic power than the magic engine set provided by Miss Antitina. It only needs a little more
In time, I can complete the charging of the lower network."
Monica replied: "By then, we may be more confident. But the prerequisite is that Miss Nymesis, you must protect yourself, because now only you have the highest authority in Valhalla. If
Without you, I can't command this fortress to fight."
"I will." Bai Jia replied: "Don't worry, this operation is very safe. It is just to cover the evacuation of Mr. Leto and others. To be honest, there is another reason why I don't want to use the power of Valhalla. I am with Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Man, you should understand."
"I don't quite understand what you humans think," Monica shook her head: "But I also support a defensive war, which consumes much less of the World Tree."
Bai Jia nodded: "I should return within three days. Earl Overwell has confirmed the movements of the rebels, which should be enough to buy us three days. Even if there is any problem, I can evacuate in advance.
."
"I hope so," Monica took out a gem the size of a human little finger from her pocket, held it in both hands and handed it to the female knight, "But you'd better bring this."
"Life-linking gem?"
"Exactly, if you are in danger, I will find a way to have a wind shooter or caveman come to rescue you."
Bai Jia nodded.
She saw the last group of soldiers wading across the river beach, loosened the horse's reins, clamped the horse's belly slightly, and let the seated horse start to move forward. She turned back and said to Monica:
"Then wish us good luck, Monica."
Monica nodded and watched the female knight rush into the rain curtain.
