The news soon spread to the imperial capital, the palace of Niland.

"How is this possible!The fortress of Putoshi is the strongest fortress in our defense against the Holy Light Empire, how could it be breached by the other side in one night!" Nilander almost jumped from his throne.

It wasn't the first time that Putos had been taken by the Light Empire, but it was the first time that he had fallen into the hands of an enemy at the beginning of a war. Since the northern part of the empire was not fully prepared for war at all, Putos did not play its due role at all, creating a buffer time for later resistance. At this time, the situation is serious, not only was a large amount of food resources in Puduoshi taken away by the Holy Light Empire, but almost all the people in the north were 'exposed' in front of the Holy Light Emperor's ** team.

"According to the memories of the soldiers who fled, two fourth-order angels with white wings appeared in the army of the Holy Light Empire that night, and the strongest Xuanshi iron 'gate' in Putos was shattered by the angels, and even the northern city tower and the 100-meter city wall collapsed. The supreme commander of the fortress, Marshal Kiaru, and more than a dozen generals with a strength of level 9 were martyred on the spot...... "The spies kneeling under His Highness also had a frightened 'color' on their faces, as if the situation of that day had resurfaced in front of them.

"Smack!" Nilander squeezed the armrest heavily, and his face twitched violently.

"Are you sure those two angels have fourth-order strength?" Berner asked anxiously.

Although the villains are not sure, their strength far exceeds that of ordinary level 9 masters, and their joint attack that night was not only witnessed by all the soldiers of the Puduos Fortress, but also by the people within dozens of kilometers of the fortress. That ball of light like the sun illuminated the entire sky, and the energy contained in it could not be compared to even the combined efforts of ten battle ranking masters!"

"It seems that what Harry feared has finally happened......" Nelander slumped heavily on the throne, and the Holy Light Empire succeeded in creating a fourth-order angel. Imperial...... It's dangerous!

"Your Majesty, I want to ...... Things may not be as bad as they seem. These fourth-order angels are by no means capable of making as many as they want. Since the other party only dispatched two angels, I think this may be all their strength. Berner said with a deep sink.

"With the fall of Putos, the first line of defense of our empire has been broken. "Nelander cheered up his 'spirit' and consulted with the ministers to take countermeasures. "We must reposition the fortress of Hudhaka, the second line of defense, against the forces of the Holy Light Empire. ”

"But we don't have a fourth-order master that we can appoint...... How to resist the other party's two fourth-order angels?" General Mirsi, the oldest and highest-ranking army commander in the Empire.

"Kiru and the others haven't come back from Dragon Island yet, and Harry has been in retreat for more than a year in order to break through the fourth order, and it seems that it is impossible to get out of the customs for a while. At present, there are only two fourth-order masters available in the empire, Grom and Master Killy!" Berner said slowly: "Master Chilly's whereabouts are erratic, and it is difficult to find them for a while. But Lord Grom is in the Oakland Hills, and with his strength, if not the two angels at the same time, he can at least barely contain them......"

"Send someone to Mount Auckland to ask Lord Grom!" Nylander waved his hand, and the order was immediately issued.

"All level 9 masters of the Knights and the Guards are on standby, ready to reinforce the Hudhaka Fortress. A second order followed. Before Grom arrives, it is necessary to ensure that the fortress of Hudaka is not lost, since there are no fourth-order masters available for a while, then using the numerical advantage of the level 9 masters, it can also form a diversion effect on the opponent's angels. Presumably, the Holy Light Empire must be reluctant to fight to the death with a fourth-order angel and a third-order master of the Free Empire.

If the Freedom Empire's hundred level 9 masters deal with two angels at the same time, the Holy Light Empire will surely have a headache as well. Hudhaka's original level 9 masters, plus some of Pudos's escapes, there are about a hundred or so in total, and the level 9 masters of the Holy Light Empire are probably only this number. As long as the imperial capital sends another hundred level 9 masters, it can suppress the power of the angels.

"Contact the Elder Cambuur in the Dark Demon Temple and integrate the masters in the Dark Demon Hall as soon as possible. "The Dark Demon Temple has been rooted in the Free Empire for two years, and although there are not too many masters who have emerged, it is still a force that is not weak. Their base is near the second line of defense, and reinforcements will inevitably be faster.

"Please come and discuss!" "There are many level 10 magicians in the Magic Guild whose strength is between the third and fourth orders, and although they may not be able to compete with the real fourth-order angels, they are enough to threaten each other.

"I hope that the enemy really only has two fourth-order angels...... "Nilander finished issuing a series of orders, and collapsed in his seat as if weak.

"I really hope that Kiru and Kerr will come back soon, I don't know how much their strength has improved on Dragon Island......" Berner also sighed, if these two dragon knights can advance to the fourth order, the situation of the Free Empire will be much stronger.

"Even if Harry's kid breaks through the barrier, he can solve the predicament in front of us......" Nilander said this, only to find out that the hope of the empire had already been transferred to the younger generation.

......

"Wang, our army is now in full swing, why do you want us to stay for two days and then continue the attack?" asked Stholl, standing quietly beside Semetis, curiously.

"We can indeed enter the hinterland of the free empire with a single blow. But...... This will not help us to defeat the Empire of Liberty once and for all. As long as their masters are still there, they can organize effective forces to fight us at any time!" Semetis replied lightly.

"In our eyes, the masters of the Free Empire are like ants, who can trample to death with one foot. Como said with his head held high and looked angry. The angel's heart was powerful for the first time that day, which really made him proud.

"Never underestimate your opponent, or ...... You're not far from death!" Semetis snorted, and a bead of sweat immediately broke out on Cuomo's forehead. After several years of rule, Semetis has a faint power on him, and even if Como has the heart of a fourth-order angel, he is still respectful and fearful of him.

"If you join forces with Piro, the power is comparable to that of the impostor Son bombing the Motor Fortress that day, can you be sure that there are no equally powerful figures in the Free Empire? Not to mention that according to the report of Galleel who sent the envoy to Monrok, the description of the envoy of the Free Empire is very similar to the original impostor Son, are you sure that he can defeat him?"

Como and Vilo's faces froze, although they had obtained the strength of the fourth order, but the fear of Harry was still there, if they really matched, they really had no bottom in their hearts.

"Although the Lord said that he would not be an obstacle to us, I always felt a little uneasy...... So don't take it lightly!" Semetis frowned slightly.

"The king taught a lesson!"

"Our main goal is not to occupy a large area of the territory of the Free Empire as soon as possible, as long as the main living force of the Free Empire is eliminated, it is only a matter of time before the land is occupied!" Semetis smiled confidently and said, "Now the Free Empire does not know our true strength, nor does it know my true purpose, so they will inevitably integrate their masters and try in vain to resist our attack." I just want to take this opportunity to eliminate the living forces of the Free Empire as much as possible, as long as their main force is wiped out by us, this war will be over!"

"The Holy King is wise!" everyone praised in unison.

"Are the troops ready?"

"All ready, just wait for the king's command. Ssol replied solemnly.

"Everything is going according to plan!" Semetis commanded, narrowing his eyes.

......

The delay of the Holy Light Empire at the fortress of Putos bought the Free Empire a certain amount of time to concentrate its forces. Although there is something strange on the part of the Free Empire, it is also secretly happy, the longer it drags on, the stronger Dhaka's defense will become.

A large number of magic towers have been built, and Alan has sent ten level 10 mages and 30 level 9 mages to assist in defending the city. Being attacked by such a number of magicians at the same time, even if it is a fourth-order angel, I am afraid that it will be enough to choke! A simple magic tower may not be able to resist the attack of angels, so every magician is protected by two level 9 masters, which can be regarded as foolproof.

In addition, most of the masters of the Knights and Guards of the Imperial Capital came to Hudaka, and En'boli remained in the Imperial Capital because he was Niland's personal bodyguard. For a time, Hudhaka gathered nearly 300 level 9 masters, of which 20 were still masters on the battle list.

With such a strong defense, the Free Empire's side seems to be a little lighter.

The Holy Light Empire's 3,000 Bright Crusaders and 20,000 regular troops, after two days of rectification, began to march towards Hudhaka...... The big war is about to break out.

In the camp of the Crusaders.

"How's Dhaka doing?" Semetis asked.

"There are now more than 300 mages and warriors in the city who have reached level 9, but most of the top masters of the Free Empire are not among them. It may be due to the fact that it will take time to 'draw' these masters. These 300 masters account for about 30% of the overall high-end strength of the Free Empire, and there is still a certain distance from our expected goal. ”

"Damn! It seems that I have overlooked that the Empire of Liberty is a high-end regime with loose force. But since we're here, it's not appropriate to delay any longer...... Then just put some pressure on them!" Semetis pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Taking advantage of the current situation, I have come up with a good plan!"

"Pass my order, the plan is changed, we will not attack the fortress of Hudhaka for the time being! Let the armies of the left and right flanks cancel the ambush, and 'force' to approach Dhaka together, and we will have a siege!"

Hudhaka's defenders soon found themselves surrounded on three sides by an army of 50,000......
