Chapter 752: Shocking the Continent
The kingdom of Astra is now leaderless, the whole country has lost its commander, plus most of the lords have gone to Kadjarvin, and most of them have lost their lives in the battle, even if there are those who escape, plus those who have not gone to Kadjarvin, they are just three or two kittens.
Even the tens of thousands of defenders in Kajavin City could not resist in front of the Norvid warriors, let alone these minor lords.
Within a month, the entire kingdom of Astra was wiped out, and all but a few nobles who had the foresight to flee were martyred with the already destroyed kingdom of Astra.
The entire vast territory fell into the hands of the Norweeds, who burned and looted here, displaced large numbers of inhabitants, and countless people became their dead souls.
In just half a month, they had amassed a large amount of wealth and food, which had been plundered from the city of Kajjavan and other places.
Emperor Porioye gave these things to the tribal chiefs, making them more determined to follow the emperor and plunder here.
The Norweed soldiers are very comfortable here, from the time they were born to the present, I am afraid that the most enjoyable time is this time, the food and drink are good, there is no need to work on their own like in their hometown, and the food is not delicious at all.
Here, not only do they eat the best food every day, but they can also vent their desires with those charming Lorde women, who are more gentle and delicate Lorde women, than those who are not much younger than them.
They are comfortable, but the inhabitants of the old kingdom of Astra are living a hellish life that is worse than death, food is taken away, and life does not know when it will not belong to them.
His wife and daughter are also at risk of being taken away by the Norvids, and now they are living in a situation that is really like hell.
No one thought that the second most powerful country in the continent, the powerful Kingdom of Astra, would be destroyed in just a dozen days, and all the royal lords would die in battle.
Although there are still a large number of wandering knights fighting against the Norwids in the homeland of the kingdom of Astra, there are not many of them after all.
Even in the kingdom of Astra, which is known as the country of knights, there are only eighty or ninety thousand wandering knights in the country, and the number of enemies is not comparable at all.
A considerable number of rebellious knights have now been swept away by the Norwids, which has dealt a considerable blow to the revolt of the old inhabitants of the kingdom of Astra.
At this time, a dozen or so messengers sent by King Leonac also separately informed other directions of the news, and at the same time informed the church of the incident.
However, they were already behind in the news they were holding, and these letters were written by King Leonac himself, saying that the enemy was huge and hoped to be supported.
But now the situation is that the kingdom of Astra has fallen, and the entire kingdom has fallen into the hands of the Norwids.
Not only that, but King Leonac also underestimated the strength of the enemy, and in the letter he only wrote that the enemy had 200,000 troops, but now there were nearly 400,000 troops in the land of the kingdom of Astra.
After receiving this news, all countries expressed their shock, after all, they basically participated in the Northern Expedition six years ago, and the news that the Norweed people had been destroyed was well known.
Many of them gained a great deal of wealth in that war or were appreciated by the feudal kings.
But no one thought that the already extinct Norvids would be able to raise an army of 200,000 and dare to attack the kingdom of Astra.
However, they didn't react immediately, they were all waiting for the reaction of the Rhodesan Empire and the Church, and now the countries on the Holy Religion Continent have basically taken sides.
Except for a few countries led by the Kingdom of Lorik that have not yet taken sides, the other countries have already stood behind the Church and the Rodland Empire, respectively.
Now no one can make an easy decision, and if these two sides do not respond, then no one can rescue the kingdom of Astra.
These messengers of the Astra Kingdom moved extremely quickly, and in just two months, the news that the Norvidians had reappeared and attacked the Astra Kingdom spread throughout the Holy Religion Continent.
Even the most remote western countries have already gotten the news.
Now everyone can talk about it, the church feels that they must go to the rescue of the Astra Kingdom, as one of the hardcore supporters of the church, the status of the Astra Kingdom is extremely high, after all, this is the second strongest country in the continent, and it is still very valued by the church.
As for the Rodland Empire, they don't want to rescue the other party, they don't want to be kidnapped by the name of the Holy Brother, first when the situation changes, maybe a war will really break out at any time.
At that time, the kingdom of Astra, mired in war, was unable to participate in the war, which removed a rather important arm of the church, and it was easier to win at that time.
Moreover, even if there was no war, without the support of the kingdom of Astra, the church would not be so confident and would be able to make many profits.
As for William, although he wanted to rescue, he didn't want to take this risk when the odd number was in this turbulent situation, what if the church or the Rodland Empire took advantage of the situation after the army was sent out.
In this way, after getting the news for more than a month, no one planned to send troops, although the church ran around hoping to call on the entire continent to fight in the north, but the side of the Rhoderan Empire was determined not to bird the church.
And they can't move if they don't move, this is an unsolvable situation, if they go to the rescue of the kingdom of Astra, then the imperial side will inevitably take advantage of it.
Maybe when they come back, the nest will be occupied, and if they don't go, then the church will fall into this struggle.
This atmosphere lasted only a little more than a month, and when William received the double intelligence of the Dark Dagger and the Assassin Order that had been placed in the north, he could not sit still.
The letter stated that the city of Kajavin had fallen after being surrounded by the enemy for more than ten days, and that King Leonac had been killed in battle, and his head had been spread throughout the country.
The kingdom of Astra was declared to be over, and the Brotherhood, which had not always had a high sense of existence, sent him this information, and Altaïr himself wrote him a letter in his own handwriting, which was exactly the same as that written by the Dark Dagger.
Not only William, but basically all the Holy Religion countries received information from the Brotherhood, and after some investigation, they were shocked to find that this was actually true.
According to King William of Lorik, this is an enemy from outside the continent, and they are from another land, just like the original kingdom of Norwid, with the aim of conquering the Holy Cult world.
And the Dark Dagger was also the number of Sword Flower enemies, and the number of 400,000 was placed in front of all the Holy Sect countries by him.
