Chapter 463: North-South Attack

In Mantas's palace, Princess Avelia wears a completely different costume.

The long red and blue skirt was dragged to the ground, and every corner of the dress was inlaid with gold trim.

The princes and ministers who had declared their allegiance to the New Kingdom stood at the foot of the steps, dressed in ceremonial robes, and saluted her.

"Sister."

I held my sister's hand and felt a little trance-like, like it was a dream.

And she smiled at me, looking a little shy.

"Perhaps, I'm more shy than she is..."

Under the gaze of everyone, the sister walked up the steps and came to the throne.

This golden crown is a replica of the one in Salondrang, and does not have the powerful magic that the royal family of the Subic Kingdom has exerted on it.

However, Avria doesn't need the protection of magic, and with me by her side, that's enough.

When I picked it up, I suddenly felt like this thing was so heavy. I weighed it carefully for a while, for fear that I would be crooked. Fortunately, my sister kept encouraging me with her eyes, so I put the crown on her head.

"Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen..."

The courtiers below shouted long live, and the noble lords bowed their noble heads.

My dear sister, my fiancée, Queen Avelia officially reigns in Subic.

Her first order after succeeding to the throne was to crown me the title of "Prince of Subic South".

The princes canonized on the day the queen succeeded to the throne were basically her husbands, and I was naturally no exception.

I slept with my sister the night before, and I obviously held my hands together, but I still didn't do anything, which was really embarrassing.

If all goes well, we will have a wedding after the enthronement ceremony.

However, now I am afraid that even Mantas will not be able to hold on......

The Holy See once again picked up the slogan of jihad, and although Zhao Tiantian did not support them, the war still began.

Dong Tuhao and his city are now surrounded by the Holy See army, and although they have not entered the public guard, they will not be able to get out of it for a short time.

The Holy See thinks we're having an affair with the Shadow Church, and we're close and chaotic, so we're the first to be targeted.

We didn't have much to do with the southern border, and all of a sudden we were pushed by the Holy See to the original borders of the Alliance of Free Cities.

These fanatics who believed in the Holy Light were like they couldn't be killed, and although we defeated them more than a dozen times on the frontal battlefield, we also suffered great losses, so we had to rely on a few small cities to hold on.

To the north, the Griffon Empire also attacked, making peace with the orcs and giving the orcs autonomy. Perhaps the big men would have thanked us for our help, but as soon as they stopped, the griffons swept through northern Subic, and our garrisons on the border retreated all the way to them.

The three War Saints of the Gryphon Empire have given us an ultimatum that if we put our War Saint-level forces into battle, they will strike. If that happens, the war is out of control.

Fang Zi's electromagnetic cannon has arrived in Iron Nail City, and Zeng Qiang's tunnel has been dug here, and after the huge underground network is completed, it will be much more convenient to transfer the army and the people. I also transferred Isabella here, but it really can't be done, even if there is a War Saint on the other side, we have to do it.

Many Subic lords have lost their fiefs that have just been sealed for a short time, and these nobles with their wives and children have blocked the palace councils, constantly complaining about these things, and in order to appease them, my sister has to take out a sum of money from the kingdom's treasury that has not much money left to help them, which is really troublesome.

The entire kingdom of Subic was thrown into chaos due to the war, and it is estimated that the displaced people will not be able to resettle within two years.

The losses of the troops were too great, and in order to replenish the soldiers, the old man Mane had become a millionaire, and every time I got there, his smile made me scared.

If Mantas can't hold it, Nail City will be our last line of defense in the middle of the kingdom. None of the White Oak Castles are any stronger than this tribal city. The Iron Nail City has a level 4 stone wall, thousands of tribesmen, and a large number of warriors. The most important thing is that the city's defenses and traps are the product of the tribe and the royal family, and the defense capabilities are excellent.

The west is also in chaos now, Wang Shengzhe annexed Luoninglaier, which was opposed by the El Empire, and the two sides had contradictions. Even Li Renjie quarreled with him several times, but it did not curb his ambition to expand at all.

The Hegmann Kingdom has been completely messed up by Li Guangyu, and he is working hard for his legendary mission, provoking strong enemies everywhere. Of the three hosts in the west, only Li Renjie gave us a team of mages as support.

The scope of our rule has shrunk by half, and my territory has been the most severe. Of course I'm not happy, but so what?

Fang Zi's factory built 1,500 cannons, but it was still not enough for us to win the war.

We really needed help, so I found the envoys of Tianhua and Leon and agreed to the canonization of Emperor Tianhua, but they were not willing to intervene directly in the war except for diplomatic pressure. And the Leonites also took advantage of the Griffon Empire's southward movement to help their vassal Salondron expand their land again, and although there was friction with the Griffin Empire, it didn't help us much.

It's a bit strange to say that the thing called "sin" is constantly corroding my will, but it's true. My appetite grew, and I craved that power even more. In the arena before, that power multiplied my strength tenfold, it was so exciting. However, with each use, the appetite increases exponentially. Once I can't control it, then I will definitely suffer worse than the situation of the local tyrant.

The system has reminded us once before, and there is another energy from another world that has penetrated the inexplicable continent, and Zeng Qiang also went to the hidden place of the elf clan with the ancient elf queen, and the ancient queen wanted to make an analysis of this energy, because she felt deeply uneasy in this power.

But I'm not in the mood to care about this at all now, even if I take these big empires at high speed, they won't stop attacking us.......

-------

The Griffin Empire still attacked the city of Mantas, most of the residents of Mantas withdrew to the south of the city of Iron Spikes, refugees were everywhere, and the city of Mantas, which originally had a population of hundreds of thousands, was also vacated at once for our army to fight.

We held out for more than a month, but we still couldn't stop the Griffon Empire and let them fight here.

However, the Holy See is now in a fierce conflict with the other three empires, and after being repulsed by us several times, the main force of the Holy See to the north has also suffered certain losses, and Leon's army has already assembled on their southern border, keeping an eye on the Holy See.

And Dong Tuhao finally gathered enough strength, under the attack of a hundred giants and twelve Golem stone men, the Holy See monitored his army directly defeated, and Zhao Tiantian always insisted on not cooperating with the Holy See, and armed the City of Divine Grace, which made the believers of the Holy See also began to doubt the necessity of this war.

And the Shadow Church has reached out to us at this time, and they have finally come out of their secluded space, and a thousand Shadow Cultists have arrived in the Inexplicable Continent with tens of thousands of undead armies and strange shadow magic. They preach that disaster has come and call for unity against the enemies of another world.

Anyway, it's been getting more and more chaotic since we've been in this world, but what can I do?
