As the real world enters October, the Western Continent also begins to enter the bitter cold season.
Compared with the outbreak of Aurelius' conspiracy to usurp the throne, the attack on Shanon was the focus of the entire Western Continent.
Madikos changed his previous guerrilla warfare methods, setting fire to the forest, digging secret passages and attacking by force, and finally captured the Frost River transportation artery.
This is no less difficult than the Qinfo Fortress faced by the elves, and no less difficult than the Nokili Fortress faced by His Majesty Leo.
Unlike the elves who exiled the humans from Qinfo Fortress, Madikos forcibly integrated the captured Shanon people into his own legion.
Facing a whole winter, he had enough time to tame these surrendered troops to supplement the losses of his legion.
These are the first two large fortresses to be captured. Starting from the fortress, there are few defenses that can carry out strong resistance, and you can directly reach the capital of Shanon, Riros.
There are 200,000 elite troops stationed in the kingdom capital of Shanon, which is far more difficult to conquer than a fortress.
Irutan and Madikos did not show up directly, each other was waiting for the progress of other countries' attacks.
The fall of two large fortresses had an extremely negative impact on the Shanon Kingdom.
The extremely violent Mysterio adopted a strategy of taking advantage of the situation, taking his time and taking the fortress very close to him. The capture of Shannon's fortress by the two kingdoms gave him a constant boost.
Baron Von Tarkin of the Kingdom of Corizon has always liked to do things when the weather is bad. The countries will rest in winter, and he will dance happily. He may be able to take down the Skymist Castle that defends the Kingdom of Corizon.
As for the people in the north, they live in a cold place and don't particularly care about the cold weather.
But people in northern China like to stay at home and have babies when the weather is cold. Waiting for next year, the babies born will develop faster when the weather is warmer.
This makes it difficult to know whether the Northerners will attack the central city in the north of Xiannong in winter.
But as the seasons change, the wars everywhere have subsided slightly.
"We sent several envoys, but only Shanon was willing to ally with us and recognize the status of our kingdom."
Agranel rested his chin, with a hint of melancholy between his brows.
Although the country seemed relatively stable due to Xu Zhi's comfort and Black Dragon Reas's planning and policy implementation, international events gave her a headache.
Why does she want an alliance with a kingdom that is about to die?
If the Shannon Kingdom doesn't cause trouble behind the scenes, maybe she won't even have to be the queen.
If you don't have to be a queen, you don't have to think about so many problems now.
If I hadn't shown off the summoning scarab necklace at the beginning, if I hadn't gotten to know Aiwen a little further, if I hadn't gone to the Eastern Continent, or if I hadn't killed the black dragon Chimila...
After much thought, Agranel felt that she had suffered the consequences of becoming queen.
I have been cheating people all my life, but I didn't expect that I would be cheated and die on this throne just once.
Without Orang Marassa's permission, it would be impossible for her to even travel outside the Kingdom of Aurelius.
"Why is this country separated from the mainland by a strait?"
Relying on the master-level stealth ability, Agrenel can easily walk around, but she has to take a boat to go to the Western Continent or the Eastern Continent.
Orang Marassa can't control her stealth, but she can control the ship.
Once you find that she has disappeared, you can just block the ships on the coast, or even fly along the coast to bring her back.
"It would be great if our body parts could be taken to other places through the elemental realm, and we could escape after killing each other."
The body parts of the immortals cannot be contracted. The trio of Aegrenel are not Hexis and can be transplanted with biological parts.
All the ways out are almost blocked. Although she is unwilling to do so, she can only be the queen honestly now.
Xu Zhi listened to her introduction and nagging from time to time, nodded from time to time, and occasionally comforted her.
He must come to this palace every two or three days now. In addition to eavesdropping on the black dragons' conversation, he can also take some magic staffs back to Dongfang Village.
There is no problem in getting some low-end goods from the palace.
Agranel didn't care, since she didn't pay for it anyway.
"You can only wait now" Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Either you need to have the ability to kill Orang Marassa in order to ignore his control."
"One is waiting for death, and the other is seeking death, there is no difference," Agrenelle said in frustration. She was unable to defeat Madikos's army, nor was she able to defeat Orang Marassa.
"At least there is a difference in the speed of death. If Madikos is killed by the Shanon people, maybe you can still take over his country."
Xu Zhi's comfort was very real, but it also meant that Agranel didn't have much of a way out.
There are big bosses on both sides, and the puppet king is just a doormat in the middle.
The only thing she could do was wait.
Not only was Wen Ren Weiyang helpless, but Xu Zhi was also helpless.
The five-nation alliance formed against Shanon will not turn around just because Aigrenel sells well. The alliance can only be explored first to show that they have reasons why they have to establish a country.
If many big countries didn't help Madikos stab him, they would be fair.
"Where's Alita?"
Xu Zhi met Doug Wuge several times when he went down to the realm, but never saw Alita.
He only wandered around the palace and never left the palace.
"She was chattering in the mansion. I don't know what she was doing. She was probably practicing magic."
Agranel is also a little uncertain.
Fellow Aelita practices two lines of magic, life and death. It does not form a balance of five lines of magic like Bob does, nor is it like some magicians who focus on one of them and only do tentative research on the other.
She is progressing steadily at the same time. The two conflicting magic elements cause Alita's head to look dull sometimes. Now that she has time and is served by someone every day, Agrenel guesses that Alita is most likely practicing.
"You can also practice more while you have time," Xu Zhijian said: "The hesitation in your heart will not help you at all, but the increase in strength will give you more chances to survive."
"Madikos won't stop and wait for you."
Xu Zhi mentioned it casually before returning to the elemental world. This made Agranel think for a long time before he decided to go to the Temple of Spaz.
She has practiced the "Book of Assassin's Guild Leaders - Compiled by Spatz". To a certain extent, Agranel is indeed one of the heirs to the mantle of Spatz.
Although she is also a master of the stealth system, she still needs to put in a lot of effort if she really wants to practice to the level of Spartz.
Apart from becoming stronger, she has no other way out, and going to the Temple of Spaz might be a good choice.
"This is a chaotic era, and everyone has to struggle to survive."
Returning to Dongfang Village with two flame staffs in hand, Xu Zhi raised his head and looked at the trace of halo color crossing the sky.
The elemental tide is coming again.
In the past, elemental tides erupted every few decades, and slowly entered more than ten years, ten years, eight years, five years...
As of now, it has only been two years since the last elemental tide.
As the Magic Rainbow is destroyed, the frequency of these outbursts becomes faster and faster.
But it won't work without destroying the magic rainbow. The source of mutation of the mantises must be cut off. This is a road that is difficult to turn back.
For the mantises, the elemental tide caused by the magic rainbow will cause them to mutate and grow faster.
For Xu Zhi and others, this involves their survival and safety.
It also involves three has-been bosses who want to go to the lower world.
There was a sound of phoenix chirping outside Dongfang Village, and the interior of Dongfang Village also started to get ready.
