This is said to be related to the changes in the Cruz Empire. Since the fall of the Black Moon, trade has begun to decrease drastically. But fortunately, the help of the naga, at least ensured that the route to Ellanta and Nazir was still open.
But this is not good news. The Fir-led army has already gone to the north. I heard a letter from the family saying that Mintai and Alder have already begun to evacuate south, crossing the Geers River. Now the refugees are gathering in Fir-led. Some of them gathered in Gris, and the severe winter had not passed, as if they had returned to those times before the flowers and summer leaves.
Whenever these times, the captain couldn't help but miss the time when Lord Lord was still in the territory.
Recently, there have been rumors in the territory that the princess and the lady of the staff are not good. The two women usurped the position of Lord Earl. Although the captain feels very nonsense about this, no one can see Miss Antitina. Loyalty to Lord Lord.
However, he also felt that since the Lord Lord left, Tonigel's life was indeed getting sad day by day. This may be related to the turmoil in the South, but it made it difficult to trust the abilities of the eldest princess.
Such days made him feel worried and hurried. Although the struggle for power between the nobles and the royal family has nothing to do with them, the bottom of Eruin, none of the Tonigelians are willing to go back to the past.
"Captain, I heard that the army in the north is all monsters?" The youngest sentry in the sentry tower stared at the dark red flames in the dark, and there seemed to be a ball of fire in his dark eyes. The lid of the teapot suddenly said.
"Don't talk nonsense, where did the monster come from?"
"I heard a businessman say that he came from the north and heard that the noble lords in the north had colluded with monsters and killed the eldest son of Wang, otherwise why did they come here? The eldest son of Wang had clearly made peace with us. "
The captain glared at him: "Nonsense."
However, he was also disturbed in his heart. It seemed that a massacre had indeed taken place in Ampersel. Many merchants who had taken refuge here from the north were disturbed. Some of them spoke vividly about the battle, and the scene was tragic.
But such rumors also aggravated Tonigel's tension.
The little sentry added a branch to the stove. A spark burst out in the flames. He asked again: "Captain, can you say Master Nimesis can win?"
"Of course, what bullshit 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 has no idea, have you heard, Captain, I heard that the rebels are also backed by Bugga."
"There are also many Bugans. Ms. Nimesis hasn't said it. It is only a small group of them who participated in the rebellion. When the other Bugans react, they will be finished."
"What if the other Buga don't react, shall we lose first?"
"Where are you so much nonsense?" The captain gave him a violent shudder: "If you lose, you will lose. The sky won't fall down. Besides, Lord Lord hasn't returned yet. When Lord Lord comes back, these guys will count. Fart!"
The little sentry uttered an ouch, and hugged his head quickly. However, the captain's words made the guard tower quiet for a moment, and everyone stopped talking and looked in this direction.
Yes, Lord Lord has not returned yet.
But he will definitely come back.
Everyone in Tonigel still remembers Pallas's miracle and Amperthel's efforts to turn the tide. It was a man whose change was impossible and possible, and any difficulty seemed to be smooth in front of him.
That is a kind of almost blind faith.
A crackling sound suddenly came from the top of the building. Everyone looked up and saw Hadrian peeing down the stairs and falling into the pile of firewood below.
"Team, captain, someone!"
"Who?" The captain stood up almost instantaneously, lifted the teapot and poured the tea inside on the fire. With a'chick' sparks flew, and smoke rose up. The people outside immediately closed the door, and several sentries had taken the crossbow from the shelf.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Hadrian blushed and gestured happily.
"Fuck, calm me down, isn't it an enemy attack," the captain kicked over, "make it clear if the rebel doglegs are coming around, if so, we'll go and fuck their ass. !"
"No, no, no," Hadrian, scrambling to his feet, said with a gesture: "Yes, yes, yes... Lord Lord!"
"what?"
The captain almost thought he had heard it wrong.
But at this time, the door outside was knocked open with a bang, and it was the sentry who had stayed outside that came in, both of them looked like they had seen a ghost. And behind them, a lady with a long pony tail holding a halberd was just walking in.
…
Bai Jia silently stared at Min Tai on the other side of the Gris River. Snow began to float in the sky sporadically. The snow this winter has come late enough to almost predict the drought and insect infestation in the coming year, but Tonigel has druids. With their apprentices, it might be a little better, but in other areas, life is not so easy.
The winter rain and snow were icy, but she just put a shawl over the armor, and even refused the fur waistcoat. The armies from the Fir Leader are crossing the ferry, but the number of these troops is very small, and the main force is the third group of the White Lion Guard stationed in Gels.
"Do you really need to take the caveman and the fleet? Miss Antitina told me before she left that if necessary, I can authorize a part of Valhalla to you." Monica Guangling said to her Said beside him.
Bai Jia shook his head: "This is just to cover Min Tailing's retreat, not for a decisive battle with the rebels."
"So what is the best time?"
"At least until we figure out who the opponent is."
"It's not just Buga?"
Bai Jia nodded.
In the past month, news of the Baishan disaster finally spread on the mainland like a plague.
The news that the Buga had withdrawn from the talks in the Four Realms shook the entire Vonder, and the contradiction between the undead and the wind elves also intensified. However, the Eruins have no time to pay attention to these things that are still far away. The eldest son of the king, Levin Onesson, lost his whereabouts near the Pelican Fort, almost overnight, causing anxiety among the northern nobles.
But before they had time to express their protest, a mysterious army that started in Yanbao had already moved south. In just half a month, it conquered Corkova, Ash Mountain and West Fah, and besieged the Eruin Navy and the White Lions in Yanilasu and Balta respectively.
By the middle of the sleeping month, this army was already near the city of Ampersel.
It was at this time that no one would have thought that the gray mage of the Sazard would openly tear up the sacred covenant and intervene in the civil war in the mortal kingdom. So under the impetus of the Buga people, the internal strife broke out in Denel.
The traffic and communications of Lantonilan, Jean Denel, and Silman were completely interrupted, and Amperisel and Fradaling, who had lost the rear, also declared their losses one after another.
The princess lost contact with the little prince, and there was no news. The first column of the White Lions fulfilled their duties in Ampersel. The second column was blocked at Sifah on the other side of Vlada, and Wang Li The Knights suffered a disastrous defeat in Vlada.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Jia found that he was about to face all this alone and helplessly.
The last news she got was the fact that the front of the mysterious army had crossed Flada-Pace and pointed towards Pallas, a fortress north of Tonigel.
Bai Jia understood that the fall of Pallas was no more than a matter of time, and Brando had never deployed a real defense in that direction. The core of Tonigel's defense is Valhalla.
But is Valhalla really enough to rely on
With the confluence of the army going south and the rebels of Jean Denner, Bai Jia gradually saw the outline behind the entire incident.
Although some people vowed to claim that the nobles in the north were in collusion with the demons, others believed that it was a rebel army from the usurper of Yanbao, and there were even rumors about the conspiracy of the Cruz people.
But Bai Jia can already smell the breath of the Thassard alliance behind the rebels-history has begun to regain, and the Wizarding War is coming as expected. But there are third-party forces in this war, which is not in line with the history she knows.
The key factor is Yanbao.
The mysterious army that originated in Yanbao.
Among Bai Jia's memories of that dream, Yanbao's only memory for her was the crystal forest. It was the crystal cluster, she felt that she had found a third party on this battlefield, and the Thassard had formed an alliance with the Twilight Dragon earlier than in history.
But why would they fight against a mere Eruin
Bai Jia suddenly thought of the words that Freya had brought back to her, and those Brando-Sophie had brought her. Could it be said that there is really any secret hidden under Eruin
Otherwise, why is it so unique? She still remembered the local people's description of the day when the black moon fell. The beam of light rising into the sky caused Eluin to suffer the least loss in that disaster.
"It would be great if Sophie was here." Bai Jia couldn't help muttering.
She didn't know how she would be able to win this war. Opposite Pallas were the Sassards, infidels, the minions of dusk, and the rebels in the south, a huge coalition that was almost impossible to defeat.
And she had to hope that her Royal Highness would be safe.
"You look embarrassed?"
"Naturally, it is very difficult. Eruin's opponents were never set up for enemies of the level of the Sassard, at least not now."
"We can use the stone slab that Miss Qian sent back. Mr. Tamar has temporarily lent it to me. It can transmit the magic power far beyond the magic engine set provided by Miss Antitina. It only needs a little bit more. In time, I will be able to recharge the lower-level network."
Monica replied: "At that time, we may be more confident. But the prerequisite is Miss Nimesis, you must protect yourself, because now Valhalla only you have the highest authority, if If you are not here, I can't command this fortress to fight."
"I will," Bai Jia replied: "Don't worry, this operation is very safe, just cover Mr. Reto and their evacuation. To be honest, I don't want to use Valhalla's power for another reason. I'm by your Royal Highness. People, you should understand."
"I don't quite understand what you humans think," Monica shook her head: "But I also support defensive warfare, which consumes much less for the World Tree."
Bai Jia nodded: "I should return within three days. Lord Overwell has confirmed the movement of the rebels. It should be enough to buy us three days. Even if there is any problem, I can leave early. ."
"I hope so," Monica took out a human little finger-sized gem from her pocket, held it in both hands and handed it to the female knight: "But you'd better bring this."
"Lifelink gem?"
"Exactly, if you are in danger, I will find a way to get Feng Sagittarius or caveman to pick you up."
Bai Jia nodded.
She saw the last group of soldiers wading across the river beach, a loose horse's rein, slightly clamped the horse's belly, and let the seated war horse start to move forward. She turned her head and said to Monica:
"Then good luck to us, Monica."
Monica nodded and watched the female knight rush into the rain.
