"Bang!" The heavy castle gates were pushed open from the outside, and Capeluna entered the slightly drowsy hall with a gloomy face. She was followed by the guards, and the sound of armor crashing into the empty hall was even more pronounced.
"Father! The Holy Demon Empire is too deceitful! A nice voice echoed in the hall. The flames swayed with the breeze pouring in from the doorway, illuminating the golden throne and the middle-aged man sitting on it.
"Luna! My dear darling! Those Dragon Knights of the Holy Demon Empire who crossed the border have already left? The man sitting on the throne asked softly with a faint smile on his face.
"Father! 7 villages were slaughtered! The Holy Demon Empire should give us an explanation this time, right? Luna gritted her teeth when she mentioned it, and all she saw was human tragedy.
"What do you give us? We are mortal, Luna...... The strong do not need to give any explanation to the weak. Capekastner, King of Higgs, leaned on his throne and said to his daughter.
A hint of reluctance flashed across Luna's face, and she paused before continuing, "I chased all the way to the border of Seris, and those dragon knights were clearly headed for Seris. β
"That's right, after you left, I got word in the other direction." Capecastner nodded, and said to his daughter, "They're going to attack Seris City!" The Holy Demon Empire and Elanhill are at full war. β
Hearing the news, Princess Capeluna was visibly stunned for a moment, then her beautiful eyes widened and looked at her father: "This is impossible! The Holy Demon Empire has never gone to all-out war against a mortal empire! They can dispatch a team of dragon knights at most, and they can ......"
At this point, she paused. Those dragon knights who passed through the territory of the Higgs Kingdom were obviously not just a team. It was an army of dragon knights that had never been seen before, and witnesses said there were about 80 dragons.
"This ...... How could it be ......" Capeluna pressed the long sword at her waist, subconsciously staggered a step, frowned and thought for a few seconds before looking up at Capecastner on the throne: "What else is there that I don't know?" β
"There's too much news you don't know, for example, Elanhill declared a full-scale war on the Arrant Empire, took all the border castles without blood, and captured Naru in one go."
"I know that." Luna replied disapprovingly. When the news reached Higgs, Luna was still in Higgs's royal city, Higgsner, and of course she had heard about the war, and he was worried that Ellen Hill would burn the war to Higgs.
At that time, Higgs was also ready for war, and tens of thousands of elite troops had already driven to the border area to prevent Iran Hill from suddenly turning around and shifting the target of the attack to the Higgs Kingdom.
However, then the crisis was resolved, on the one hand, because from a strategic point of view, Ellan Hill would not take the initiative to provoke the not weak Higgs Kingdom after setting up a strong enemy like Alante.
On the other hand, because the news that Elanhill's main force continued to move south was confirmed, Higgs was also relieved.
At the beginning, when he heard that the main force of Ellan Hill continued to move south, Capecastner, the king of the Higgs Kingdom, also considered the possibility of sneaking up on Seris to pick up the cheap.
However, in the end, this plan was stranded due to insufficient preparation, and the best opportunity was missed, or the Higgs kingdom that escaped the catastrophe was only incidental to this day, and it is still safe with its neighbor Elanhill.
"What you don't know is that then these forces of Iran Hill continued south, capturing Bud, Maricha, and Woravo. And according to intelligence, the casualties of the opposing side were minimal, so small that they were almost negligible. Ignoring his daughter's words, King Capecastner continued.
"What? Less than 100,000 Irlanhill soldiers actually captured so many big cities in one go? Hearing the news, Capeluna was a little uneasy. She had also learned all kinds of command tactics, and of course she knew how difficult it was to attack so many large cities in one go.
If you are not careful, you will find yourself in a dilemma, the casualties of the troops will remain high, the war will be protracted, and eventually the cost will be too heavy to cause the collapse of a powerful country, and the siege warfare of the past will often turn into a nightmare for a country, but now it is different.
Alan Hill's siege seems to be very easy, not to mention the short time, and even the casualties are pitiful, which makes Capeluna a little uneasy. Could it be that Iran Hill has some new weapons of war? She had such a thought vaguely in her heart.
"Not only that, but an unknown general, a young man named Kolya, led thousands of men in Bud to defeat the tens of thousands of troops commanded by Prince Lombuck." As if intent on teasing his daughter, His Majesty the King of Higgs opened his mouth again with a stirring news.

Hearing this, Luna's expression became even brighter. Her beautiful face was filled with words of disbelief, and she asked, "What are you kidding?" Koria? Who is this person? Alan Hill's famous general? β
Before the Battle of Bud, of course, not many people had heard the name Koria. Before the Battle of Bud, the Elanhill general's loudest self-introduction was "Adjutant of Waglon, the general of Ceris City".
But now, when Coria is mentioned, people will take the initiative to think of the Battle of Bud, the Prince of Lombak who was defeated by Coria, and the main force of the 60,000 Arrant border army that was defeated by the less than 10,000 Irlanhill grenadiers.
Coria became an overnight sensation in this battle, and he became a peerless hero in the mouths of many. If it weren't for the more impressive achievements of the other generals, Coria might have been boasted as the number one general in the Mortal Realm.
It's a pity that his dazzling record was overshadowed by an even more dazzling record, after all, someone completed the feat of slaying dragons in Falling Dragon City...... And Chris, the Grand Duke of Ellan Hill, annihilated the giant horse cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire in Falling Dragon City.
King Castena has not yet spoken of the dragon slaying, but is now talking about another battle that does not seem so exciting, but it is no less shocking: "More interesting is yet to come, the long-established general Modryel defected to Iran Hill and easily defeated the veteran French in the Battle of Volavau. β
The importance of this battle has already been revealed, and the magic concentrate as a resource provides an unparalleled support for Ellen Hill. Therefore, compared to the record of annihilating 17 dragons in Falling Dragon City, Modlaire's battle in Wallavo is more strategic.
"Modryaire I know, he's already famous in the south, but...... It's unbelievable enough to easily defeat the old general, Frankie......" Luna was almost numb from the shock she heard, and she coped with it casually, thinking about her inner thoughts.
She was now almost certain that Iran Hill must have a new tactic, or a new weapon. Otherwise, with the little strength of Iran Hill, it would be barely enough to defeat the Arrant Empire, let alone occupy so many places.
While Princess Luna was thinking, King Castena continued to talk about the dragon slaying in Ellanhill: "Yes, and then the original lieutenant of Hanhai Castle, Bourchos, slaughtered 17 dragons in the first battle of Maricha......"
"......" Luna found herself unable to make any surprised noises. She had tried hard to make Iran Hill strong, but she found that she had finally underestimated the next-door neighbor.
No wonder, those dragon knights chose to cross the Higgs Kingdom, it turned out that they suffered a big loss in Maricha in the south, so this time they chose an easier direction to get by, and chose one of the most important targets of Iran Hill to attack!
That...... So can Ellen Hill pull off another miracle? Will they be able to defeat the dragon once again and perpetuate the myth of mortals? Involuntarily, Luna looked to the east, her eyes full of worry.
"The subsequent information is a bit confusing, after all, the battlefield situation is too complicated, and our eyes can only detect a rough idea." King Castena explained embarrassedly, and then continued: "The approximate situation is that Elanhill's troops then counterattacked the Arrant Empire and routed the opponent's army of 200,000. β
Before Luna could react from his shock, he continued to sigh, "If the news is true, then the only thing that will constrain Elanhill's rise is the small issue of territory and troops. As long as it grows stronger, it will become the banner of mortals. β
"No matter how you look at it, this country will become a sacred place in the hearts of all mortals." By this point, King Castena had already risen from his throne, and he laughed at himself with great joy: "It's good that we didn't attack Irranhill, otherwise Higsnar would have been the city of Irranhill......"
"Still, they can't stop the attack of the 80 dragons...... Luna came out of the shock and looked at her father, "No mortal country can stand up to 80 dragons head-on!" β
"Yes, but if they succeed......" Castena looked down on his daughter from the steps, "the world will no longer be dead." It's going to be wonderful...... I kind of want to meet His Majesty the Grand Duke of Irlanhill, as an admirer. β
"I wish you could see him in person, not a grave without even a body!" Luna stood in the hall with her sword in her hand, her tall and well-proportioned shadow stretched by the firelight.
In the afternoon, Long Ling is going out to have a meal with his family, and there will be an update when he comes back in the evening!
