Chapter Fifty-Six: Passing By
Emperor Kelmania led his army south after Nelent had opened a passage to Romania and before occupying eastern Goria; And King Joseph of Goria was from the royal capital after the fall of eastern Goria, so Emperor Kermania arrived at the border a day earlier.

The 30,000 defenders of the city welcomed the emperor into the city and washed the dust for the 100,000 fire elf legions.
Like the Fire Dragon Legion, the armor of all members of the Fire Elf Legion was dyed red, and there were strange runes on the armor, and most ordinary soldiers only had one or two runes; At the beginning of the squad leader level, there will be more and more runes on the armor, until the corps commander who is in charge of 10,000 people already has a complete rune on his armor. And the commander of the Fire Elf Legion, the emperor's Fire Elf battle armor, more than half of his body is engraved with runes, and when no one wears it, it is also filled with heat like distorting air; And when it was worn by the emperor, it was even more sparkling, and the golden-red light was restrained and had a sacred beauty.
After taking command of the 30,000 defenders here, the emperor paused for a moment, and the combined army of 130,000 continued south.
Within three hours, the city of Hans was seen, and the 20,000 defenders were joined by the emperor's command.
It was already evening, and the emperor did not continue the march, but let all the men rest for the night, and set out the next day.
The emperor led an army of 150,000 to the south and abandoned the city.
The defenders of Goria, who received the news, quickly captured and regained the undefended city of Hank. So far, all 10 border cities of Goria-Kermania have fallen into the hands of Goria, but in order to guard these cities, there are as few as 1,000 and as many as 3,000 to 5,000, and Goria has been left behind with 20,000 troops to guard the 10 border cities.
The northern part of eastern Goria was still under the control of Kelmania, and the Emperor's army of 150,000 came down without a hitch. The Duke of Nilent, who remained in the center of the east, had 25,000 men left, and after receiving the emperor's order, he withdrew and returned to the northern part of eastern Goria to join the emperor's army.
Commander Murphy took advantage of the situation to reclaim the central region of eastern Goria.
At this time, the northern part of the eastern part of the small Goria, which was only about one-fifth the size of the Torlistine, gathered an army of 175,000 people in almost the whole country of Kermania.
King Joseph of Goria led 50,000 Earth Bears to the eastern part of central Goria, only 30 kilometers from the area under the actual control of Kelsenia. After receiving letters from the border defenders and the commander of the Water Demon Song, he also realized that the Emperor of Kailmania had done everything he had, and did not divide his troops to ensure the retreat route of the army, nor did he leave the elite troops to sit in the royal capital of Kelmania. With an army of 175,000, what does this barbarian emperor want to do?
Joseph halted his army and gathered all the forces he could. The remaining 50,000 men on the northern border, except for the city guards, went south to join Joseph, and the 23,000 troops of the Singing Legion of the Water Demon in the central part of the east also gathered under Joseph's command, making a total of 123,000 men. Although the number of people is still less than the 175,000 in Kermania, compared to 50,000 to 175,000, it is already a 2:3 ratio worthy of the battle.
After gathering his forces, Joseph continued eastward.
Emperor Kailmania had reoccupied the central part of eastern Goria, meeting Joseph as he advanced eastward. The Kermanian army was inside the city, and Joseph's army was outside the city.
Joseph used wind magic to amplify his voice and shouted into the city.
"Andrea Kermania, what do you want to do? This is the territory of my Goria. ā
Andrei Kermania, the 16th emperor of Kyrmania in the 300th year of the founding of the country, was young and ambitious. He walked over to the wall, and there was also a wind magic force by his side who was amplifying his voice.
"Joseph Goria, I'm not interested in your land. I want Romania to the south, and I'll get out of the way if it's funny, or we'll have a fight. ā
Joseph's brow furrowed, puzzled. With so little land in Romania, no mines, and Goria separated from Kyrmania proper, is there anything worth making a big deal about in Kyrmania?
"Andrei Kermania, Romania is one of the four countries inherited from the ancestors, and if you want to destroy it like this, are you not afraid that the ancestors will condemn you?"
"Hahaha, Ancestor Primemir? You believe in this man, but we believe in the spirit of fire. Humans will eventually die, but elves will live forever. It's funny that the dead man condemned me. If you dare to stand up to us, the day the fire spirits break the seal will be your destruction. ā
"Are you crazy? It was sealed by the Ancestors, do you know the consequences of releasing it? "Joseph had experienced the memories of the ancestors through the [Ancestral Incense Burner], and he had a deep impression of the continent where the four elves were rampant and natural disasters were continuous. He took the initiative to start a foreign war, also because the awakening of the [Earth Spirit] caused the frequency of earthquakes in Goria to increase greatly, and he urgently needed new land.
Andre sneered, he certainly knew the consequences of the Fire Elf breaking the seal. However, it is a catastrophe for mankind, but it is an eternal position and power for him.
"Joseph, I'm numbering dozens, either you get out of the way, or we'll meet each other."
Andrei issued a final announcement.
ā10ļ¼ļ¼ āā9āā8āāā
Outside the city, Joseph's face was as cold as iron, and he clenched his fists and pondered the consequences of confrontation and non-confrontation. He is the king who bears the fate of a country and one of the nihilistic heirs chosen by the ancestors, and he cannot be rash and emotional.
ā7āā6āā5āāā
Outside the city, there was a commotion in Goria's army, and Andrei's words were marked with a strong sense of domineering and conquest, which convinced him that he would start a war after 10 numbers.

At the head of the city, Andre raised his right hand high and slowly descended, as if he was about to give the order to attack.
ā2ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ā
"Whew-" Joseph closed his eyes and said weakly, "Let's withdraw." ā
A sane person would not dare to gamble with a madman, because you don't know how far that madman can go. The Goria army moved slowly, moving out of the city under Andrei's gaze, more than five miles away from the road.
Stopping to speak, Andrei smiled contemptuously, "Joseph Goria, huh?" ā
The Kelmanian army slowly left the city and left the center under the watchful eyes of the Goria army.
What should have been the largest conflict of our time on the continent was dissipated by Andre's persecution and Joseph's concessions. By the time the countries learned the news, it was already half a day later.
Romania frantically condemned Goria's inaction and went madly by distributing weapons and equipment to all the population. There are 30,000 people in the Romanian Water City Guard, 100,000 in the Doctrine Army after a week of military training every year, and 150,000 armed civilians.
Albion and Torristeen were both surprised, and it was difficult to predict the future situation.
Princess Alice may know Andrei's plan best when she learns the news, which is to desperately take Romania and break the seal of the fire elves. Rather, Joseph Goria, who started the war first, how could he retreat here.
A day later, news of the invasion of Goria came from Kyrmania itself. Because of a series of wars, an army of 123,000 was naturally gathered on the border of Goria, and all the border cities fell into the hands of Goria; The purpose of Goria's war is the country's territory, and Kermania is five times the size of Torristin, which is larger than Goria itself; Coupled with the humiliation of Joseph's anger at the concession he had with Andrei, he marched north to attack the mainland of Kermania.
The local army of Kailmania is at the lowest level in history, 30,000 Alice troops, 50,000 Yanlong troops, and 100,000 fire elf legions are not in the country, and 100,000 southern border guards have also been taken away, because of the high concentration of imperial power, the local nobles only have dozens to hundreds of private soldiers who can't resist Goria's 123,000 army at all.
Within a day, Goria captured a fifth of the country's territory in southern Kermania.
Alice, who stayed in Torlistine, couldn't bear to return home to fight.
An Lieta and Haotian can only let this go, and there is no reason to leave them to help defend other countries and not help their own country. But Haotian persuaded: "The army of Kailmania is all with your father, and if you don't have an army, you will only be sent to death when you return to the homeland now, so go and join your father first." ā
Alice sighed, "It's a long way to go. ā
Haotian was speechless, Toristin is located in the northwest of Goria, and Romania is located in the southeast of Goria, and it is possible to travel ten days apart, not to mention the enemy country of Goria.
"Princess Alice, I wish you all the best on this trip, and it would be nice if he could see each other one day." Haotian said goodbye.
"Well, I hope to survive too. When the time comes, I have a question for you. Alice smiled bitterly and casually, turned away, and waved goodbye. With the remnants of his army of 6,000, he returned northwest from Toristine to the mainland of Kalmania.
"Huh-" Haotian felt that her behavior was more auspicious and less auspicious, and she was a little stunned in her heart.
Anrietta, who was seeing him off, glanced at him.
"What, you have a crush on Princess Alice? Reluctant. ā
"How can I be?"
