Chapter 367 Suspended situation

The Third Age, April 1716.

The first large-scale battle between the Dryas and the Northern Alliance has ended. This time it is difficult to say who is the winner, because both sides have paid high casualties.

From raising an army, to sweeping across the Southern Territory, from going to war with the Western Territory, to unifying the Western Territory, Fairy Wood has experienced many battles, but the scale and casualties this time have exceeded all previous records.

About 100,000 soldiers were killed or wounded before and after this battle, and the casualties on the other side would not be less than this number. From the engagement, to the subsequent pursuit, tug-of-war, scattered fighting, and finally a complete flameout, it took about five days.

It was full of charred wreckage and ruins, and many corpses that were too late to be buried had to be collectively cremated. Ominous black clouds were floating in the sky.

After this battle, both sides shrunk a lot, began to regenerate their strength, and stepped up their efforts to analyze the opponent's strengths and weaknesses in the battle, and then think about how to deal with it in the future.

Southland, Falfna, the headquarters of the Dryas organization.

The decision-making meeting in the building had just ended. Many members wearing white robes walked out of the building, walked down the mountain path along the wide stairs, and dispersed into the city below.

In the conference room, several high-ranking committee members such as Gweir and Lubin still did not leave, conducting small-scale discussions.

"From the reports coming in, the casualties this time were huge. I'm worried that if it continues, it will have a bad impact internally." Gweir looked at the long list and figures on the report in his hand, feeling a little worried.

"Yes, at the meeting just now, many members also said that if such casualties continue, even if the northern border is unified in the future, many historical problems will arise." Lu Bin leaned on the back of his chair and rubbed his temples.

"The people in the north will think that these enemies have killed so many of our relatives and want to rule us and become brothers. This is emotionally difficult to accept. Although our original intention is not like this, we are only targeting the nobles who are in power.

.”

"Similarly, the people in the southern border will also be mentally unbalanced. Not only have they lost the lives of so many relatives, they will have to spend a lot of money to support the construction of the northern border. They feel that they have raised a cold-blooded wolf."

"So, we will postpone the battle with the North until we come up with a better way."

"Now, that's all we have."

Time passed slowly, and when the battle in the North was suspended, the remaining forces in the East were gradually cleaned up, and then the elves, the Fairy Woods, and the Landsworth family began to jointly transform and rebuild the East.

The capital of the Eastern Territory, Shiqin Province, Singing Leader.

In a large mansion in the city, a man with dark red hair was packing his things, putting them in a suitcase, and getting ready to leave.

The door creaked open, and a beautiful woman walked in. The bright red dress that ordinary people couldn't hold down complemented each other perfectly on her, showing off this woman's beautiful figure and charming temperament.

"Are you leaving, Rock?" She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the people in front of her who were preparing to go.

"Yes, Evelin, I recently received a letter from the organization, asking me to go to the north to provide some help."

"Why are I calling you? You are not familiar with the North." It was obvious that the former princess and queen was a little angry and dissatisfied.

"Perhaps it's because that young general has given many generals headaches, and I happen to have a lot of experience fighting him."

After packing up and saluting, Rock sat on the seat under the window, poured himself some water, and drank it in small sips.

"But, you are not a soldier of the Fairy Wood. Even if you refuse, they won't say anything." With that said, Evelin came to Roque, lowered her head, revealing her golden and beautiful eyes,

Looking at him closely, he seemed to want to change his mind.

However, the man beneath him was unmoved.

"Okay, Evelin, don't be willful. Now that you can abdicate safely and live a relaxed life, the Fairy Wood organization has also made a lot of efforts, and there is still a lot of work that needs to be relied on to rebuild the Eastern Territory.

There is no need to object bluntly on this matter."

"Besides, I'm not on the front line. It's not as dangerous as you think." After all, he is an experienced assassin. How could something happen so easily? Although this was clear, Roque did not speak because he knew that saying this would put him in front of him.

The princess will definitely come up with various experiences and reasons to object.

"But..." Evelin was still trying to find a reason, but Rock changed from his previous passive situation and held the former princess in his arms.

"Okay, let's talk about it when I come back, and this time we have to rescue your sister, Princess Teslin." He said, stroking Evelyn's golden hair. The once proud princess was now

Become quieter and softer.

"Um……"

After a long time, Evelin, who lowered her head, made a slight response, which surprised Rock a little. Only then did he realize that the princess's cheeks and ears seemed to be warming up and turning red.

Feeling the soft body sitting on his knees, Rock suddenly realized that his behavior just now was inappropriate.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm leaving first." As he said that, he tried to lift Evelin up and then left.

Although the latter also stood up, when Rock was about to leave, he grabbed him again.

"Remember to come back, I will wait for you." After saying this, the princess quickly let go of her hand, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Well, I understand." Rock didn't look back, just waved his hand and left the mansion.

After the rebellion in the east ended, reforms progressed slowly, and the former Queen Evelyn announced her abdication peacefully. Even a group of diehard loyalists of the royal family had to lay down their weapons and accept this result.

Although the aura and status of the past are no longer there, the impression in people's hearts will not dissipate in a short time. This princess still has a lot of influence in the Eastern Territory, and many people have proposed marriage proposals to her.

But they were all rejected one by one.

Just when everyone thought that the princess had very high demands or had made up her mind not to get married, a strange figure moved into the mansion, which surprised everyone.

Although the man named Roque was also a handsome man, he was born in a humble background and wanted to marry Evelyn. This was simply a slap in the face of the remaining nobles.

It is a pity that these surviving nobles have long since lost their former privileges and status, and their remaining property is not enough to do anything important. They can only watch this noble princess become lovers with a commoner and indulge in it.

Perhaps this will be a signal that all the identities in the past will become blurred in the future, and the red lines and separations that must not be intermarriage in the past will gradually be broken down, but people now are not used to it yet and feel alarmed.

As the power unit started, the propellers began to rotate and make a whirring sound. The airship swayed slightly and left the ground, adjusting its attitude and rising into the sky.

Rock looked through the round window at the increasingly smaller ground buildings below, and his thoughts gradually left this land and drifted to the far north, that familiar yet unfamiliar opponent.

When the aristocratic coalition in the West was defeated, Queen Teslin, who lived in the middle of the empire, was far away from the Dryas army and was not rescued. She was taken away by the remaining noble forces and fled to the rest of the Western Empire.

Territory, that is, the north.

Now the Duke of Raven continues to support Queen Teslin, making her a symbol of the empire's unyielding power, giving orders in the north, and his childhood friend and rival, Isaiah, has now become a powerful figure in the Western Empire.

The famous general Re led the coalition forces in the north and continued to fight against the Dryas army, causing a lot of trouble.

The reason why the organization sent a letter to him, an outsider, asking for assistance this time was because this white-clad general made the frontline generals feel troublesome and suffered a lot of hidden losses.

'It's time to make a decision, Isaiah.'

Reciting this familiar name silently, Rock leaned on the seat of the airship and entered into the memories and thoughts of the past.
