General Raeder, who was guarding the mouth of the mangdun, was originally going to take a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform. Duke Kentan used him as a shield and a litmus test, and if he could successfully resist the army of the Duchy of Borot sent by the Emperor within a year, the calm and sophisticated Duke would begin to take real action. The number of soldiers available to General Raeder was very limited, and even if the more than 500 reserve troops in the natural village of Guanhou were added, the total number could not exceed 1,000.

The reason why Duke Kentan is so sure is that on the one hand, he has confidence in General Raeder's leadership ability, and on the other hand, it is also because these soldiers are all equipped with special skills, and they are more or less able to do some wild magic that is not recognized by the ordination.

Kentan is located at the westernmost tip of the Bodi continent, backed by mountains, and although the Sea of Terror theoretically envelops the country, the mountains on this side of the sea are very tall and majestic, resulting in the whole country actually being more like a closed island, and the only place to get in touch with the outside world is the Mandunkou on the border with Destini.

In the midst of these mountains, like the Danse Forest to the south, there are many ancient secrets. This is where the dwarves used to be active, as the dwarves were most fond of digging caves and living caves. After the war between them and the elven world, the entire social activity was basically stabilized in the northern tip of the Bodi continent and the lofty mountains in the west. The dwarves resisted the magic of the elves and humans, and they came into their own and learned all sorts of tricks. They have muskets like the Northern Dessertes, and they can even assemble some jaw-dropping automatics. They roam freely through underground caverns, and their civilization is no less massive than the current human empire.

The decay of the dwarves is a problem that still troubles historians, because the dwarves are much more fertile than the elves in the Danse Forest, and they can even raise five or six small children in a single family. There was no special strife within them, and there was no such thing as a civil war like the elves back then. Their technology is so advanced that it is difficult for them to have any natural difficulty that can bring them to their knees. But such a magical and great race is now becoming more and more obscure. They either hide in the underground caves left by their ancestors and continue their lives that have long since ceased to be glorious, or they are displaced to the human society on the surface and act as thugs or bodyguards. They also had a business mind, but unfortunately they were surpassed by the Tambolance people and the northern Dessert pagans.

Kentan is the most difficult bone to gnaw on the Bodi continent, and a certain emperor of the Guvenne Empire even exclaimed: "If it weren't for the existence of the Sea of Horrors, I'm afraid that the legendary status of the Hope Kingdom would be borne by this country in the mountains." ”

Due to the lack of transportation, Kentan is even more barbaric than some of the ice-covered lands in the north. The Liberal Prophet Cyril and his eight disciples tried their best to spread the religion across the continent, but the country of Kentan became the hardest and most impregnable fortress, so that when the people of Hope, in the northwest of the Horror Sea, converted to Liberal Christianity, these people living in the mountains still adhered to their polytheistic traditions. They believe in everything that can be believed, and they serve all mystical things. Their thinking did not get bogged down in a theological controversy, but rather they were bent on seeing everything in the world as the embodiment of a god. As a result, there are many rare and unique magicians among them. They are uninhibited, using cold crystals as a medium, and can also rely on their own impromptu ideas to change the medium and materials needed to cast spells. They are somehow closer to nature than the elven druids, they don't rely only on trees or animals, they rely on everything they can rely on.

In this realm, without the slightest skill in magic, it is natural to be considered weak and incompetent. They are a proud people, and the entire kingdom of Kentan thinks highly of themselves, and their duke is one of the Electors, representing that the empire cannot ignore their powerful force. They belong to an alternative in the Tamborance Empire, but they themselves do not see it that way. Because they believed that the so-called prophet Cyril who came from the east all the way to the west to preach was a charlatan, and he was a spy of the Orlint Empire if he didn't get it, and the decline of the Gwent Empire may be related to him and this erudite religion to a large extent.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. The Duke of Kentan had his own sources and sources. Although Mrs. Charlotte was still kept in the dark, the fact that the old Borot had been killed by the mob of the imperial capital had been accurately and timely reported to the duke, who was waiting for the right moment and was ready to commit a rebellion.

It's a peculiar fact, as if a patient in a hospital always learns his true condition at the latest. If someone can carefully calm down and study the various laws in it, maybe he can truly understand the origin of this world.

Now that the time is in front of the Duke of Kentan, he certainly won't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He secretly dispatched his elite army that he had trained long ago in the direction of Mangdunkou, and at the same time sent someone to quickly pass the news to General Raeder, ordering him to start preparing for the attack on Birti City as soon as possible.

The mighty general responded to the duke's decision as soon as possible, and he was a man with more brains than he seemed. He can bend and stretch, and can tolerate all kinds of suspicion and jealousy of the outside world about him. He was not a native of Kentan, and was a natural anomaly who couldn't use magic. His only way to fight back was to make up for it with his own mind and his calm and spicy command skills.

In the peaceful environment of the country, Raeder's talent in training soldiers was undoubtedly on display, which was remembered by Duke Kentan early on. Although Kentan has an endless stream of magic masters in China, there are almost no handsome talents who really have leadership skills and the demeanor of a general.

Duke Kentan is good at employing people and dares to use people, which makes Raeder sigh, and at the same time strengthens his determination to do something.

Of course, when people lose their temper, the general once complained that the duke only allocated such a small number of troops to him to guard Mangdunkou, and he even had a trace of negative sabotage. After Albert's elven ranger Krees was captured, the general wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to suggest that on the side of the Duchy of Borot, the two of them could actually pose for each other, because each was its own master, and the master behind it had their own evil intentions. Rather than working thanklessly with each other, it is better to engage in sit-down warfare, which can save time and effort on both sides.

When he first received the letter, he could not believe the good news, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand the Duke's mind, so he made an exception and asked his henchmen to read it to him again. After confirming that it was correct, this five-year-old man put his palm to his forehead and said in a loud voice: "Great! This Emperor Deliot has destroyed the Great Wall and thrown himself into chaos, and the city of Bilti is destined to be a place where I will become famous!"

The movement of the mangdun mouth did not escape the eyes of the elf Krees, who had been under surveillance at the time. Although he had the humiliating experience of being caught in a pass, he was neither discouraged nor psychologically discouraged. He still insisted on helping the Crawford brothers in the city to the best of his ability. He no longer fantasized that he could be invited to Mandunkou in an instant, but devoted himself to observing the other party's various movements.

The day after Cosette arrived in Birty, the keen elven ranger spotted some unusual signs in the pass. The soldiers, who had been a little tired and lazy, seemed to be all refreshed overnight. Their helmets weren't as skewed as they used to be, and their clothes seemed to be neatly dressed. They still seem to be talking and laughing with each other from time to time, and their mental state has changed greatly compared to the previous drowsiness.

There must be some special reason behind all this.

Krees immediately put into use his housekeeping skills as a ranger, seeing and hearing from afar. His clairvoyance and ears, with the help of the forces of nature, quickly discovered the true cause of this change in Mangdunkou. Despite his fatigue from the magic cast, he hurried back to Birthi City to report to Talen Crawford.

His Highness Albert's most trusted military advisor immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. He immediately broke everyone's lingering affection for family and love, urging them to find a way to resist the upcoming strong enemy as soon as possible.

Claudia, as Countess of Destiny, is the person who should and urgently need an opinion in name only. Tarun did not believe that the young woman would have any opinions, but out of politeness and other considerations, he insisted that the countess, who was lying in a hospital bed with a fever, take the lead.

Catherine felt that Albert's first confidant was a little unkind. But Claudia, who is strong and assertive, wishes she had the opportunity to speak. As she was a daughter, it was not convenient for her to receive outsiders in front of her bedside, so Catherine had to send the contents of her conversation to the people waiting outside the house.

Claudia put it this way: "Although we are small in the country of Destinipe, we will not lose our determination to defend our homeland to the people of any other country. As a countess, I swear to defend the inheritance of my father and my ancestors from generation to generation, and I will never show jokes to outsiders, and I will never show the slightest cowardice or weakness. I stand with the entire army and civilians of the city of Birthi against the unknown invasion of the Kentan Division. We are on the side of justice, and good will triumph over evil!"

The countess's words quickly spread through the streets of the city, and Talen Crawford felt a little unexpected. This weak girl in the disease showed an unusual temperament, which could not be admired by the great military division.

Of course, he will also use this inspiring proclamation as a weapon to motivate the people, uniting the military and civilians of Destinipeg and Borot's forces to defend against the mysterious and dangerous magical forces of Kentan.

The so-called crowd is easy to do, work together, want to know how the war is going, and listen to the next time and continue.
