Act 140 The Battle of Eruin

In contrast to previous years, after a few autumn rains, the area affected by the autumn monsoon from Toniguel to the north begins to clear one after another, as if it were a real autumn scene, completely isolating the impression of the autumn rain in the south of Eruin.

The unusually rainy weather also affected the fighting from Butch to Jean Denel, and the combined forces of Goran-Elson and the Duke of Vieiro had fallen back under the Black Rose Offensive at Bromanda because they had misestimated the weather and had misanticipated the undead attack.

After two battles at the outskirts of Manoville Forest and Pragues, the front line of the undead has advanced to the south of Kurk, although this advance is much slower than the defeat of Eruin in the Second War of the Black Roses in the previous life, but the Denel side still expressed his dissatisfaction with the royal party, because of this reason Macaro and the 'lone wolf' Overwell - now knighted Count Fao - have gone to the front line in advance, and the second batch of reinforcements from the Lantoniland coalition led by Eco and Buga the Crossman and the Count of Outin are also on the way.

As early as a week ago, part of Tonigel's army stationed in Jean Denel had also been mobilized, and this vanguard force would be led by the deputy commander of the White Lion Guard, Caglis. Haberto commanded, and traveled with half of the Royal Knights of Eruin.

It is worth mentioning that the future head of the Royal Knights, Muko, is the commander of this half of the Knights, just like the previous life, and now he is a banner of the young Zhuang faction within the Knights, and has also entered the core of the upper echelons, and is deeply trusted by Count Yanirasu and Overwell.

As for the other of the three heroes of Eruin, Loka and Breson of the Elvis family are also heading south from the north - since the incident that happened in the Cruz Empire half a month ago, there is no need for the White Lions to stay on the Anzeruta Plateau, and at the direction of Overwell, they are passing through Ampesel and passing through Anlek to the south. Now they have passed through the Fau region - they have brought not only the combat power of the White Lion Legion, but also the support of the eldest son of the king.

In the king's eldest son, Levin. O'Nesen. Under the leadership of Siphah, the northern nobles sent a coalition of nobles to the south, commanded by Nicholas, the sword man of the royal family of Siphah, and the Earl of Grey Mountain, and accompanied by Gallocke the Curious, so to speak, after the death of Liwoods. In addition to Brando's henchman Charles, Gallock represents the strongest wizarding force in the kingdom of Eruin.

Of course, there is an exception for the wizards of the Tower who are not part of the kingdom.

At this point, including the highland knights of Karasu, Eruin can also be said to have completed the general mobilization of the whole country, and the total number of troops in various fields is close to 150,000, which can be said to be the strength of the country in terms of Eruin's poor population.

But everyone, including the royal party, understands. Although the kingdom is united and the army is barely able to muster the strength to fight, the real problem with Eruin is that the gap between the upper forces and Madara is too great. Due to the advent of the Demon Tide, almost all of the generals of the new generation of Madara have already crossed the threshold of elemental manifestation, and the undead lords such as the Banshee King and the Pale Lord, who survived from the dark ages of the Black Rose of Bromanda, have the strength of the elemental realm in their own right, and some are still above the side of truth.

Moreover, the strength of the Dead Moon Realm itself is not inferior to that of the Cruz Empire, even in this era. They also possess Extreme Strength, but they are located in the direction of St. Ossol and the Great Glacier and the Faenzan wall. It is clear that this dark country used Eruin as a place to train the next generation of generals from the beginning.

This fact is very helpless, but Eruin can only choose to accept it, and must also be glad for it, otherwise the strength of the kingdom will not be able to fight back at all. Even now, when facing Madara's high-level troops and a large number of elemental realm powerhouses. Everyone understands that the real winner of Eruin is actually the new force from Tonigel.

After all, it hasn't been long since Brando's earth-shaking turmoil in the empire has passed, and during this period, both the gargoyles and the steel puppet army in the hands of the other party represent the powerful power behind this lord, not to mention that the fleet supported by the Buga is the only force in the southern region of Cruz that can decide the ownership of the sky, as for how many hidden forces are still in the territory of Tonigel and the Black Forest that the other party has been developing. That's harder to say.

At least the Wind Marksman, Druid, Centaur and Forest Elves were on the table, not to mention the White Lion Guard, who had risen to prominence in the Ampesel Wars, and rumours that the Count had a troglodyte 'cavalry' in his possession, which had spread since the Battle of Tonigel.

But not everyone is showing kindness to these 'hillbillies from fir collars' until the end of September.

The discord between the Count and the Empire caused an uproar in Eruin, drawing unanimous criticism from the nobles and gentlemen, accustomed to groveling before the Cruz, and even the princess's usual allies, the Crown, expressed their displeasure.

In the first half of September, there was even a civil strife that almost broke out - mainly due to the collusion between the diehards of the royal party and the northern aristocracy, but it is difficult to say how much of this was the jealousy and resentment of the new forces within the kingdom - but before the rebellion could be triggered, it was strongly suppressed by the Tonigel side and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Of course, it was also rumored that the incident itself was a trap set by the 'mistress' of the Count of Tonigel after obtaining the former's permission.

The aftermath of the rebellion fermented between September and October, during which time many heads fell to the ground, during which Princess Griffiin and Antitina showed iron will and decisiveness, and everyone was concerned, you must know that for a long time after the battle of Ampesel, the eldest princess appeared in front of everyone as a sign of weakness.

The subsequent development of this matter once caused the princess and the royal party to fight, but in the end, the two sides were reconciled under the mediation of the 'lone wolf' Overwell, and the new royal party represented by Macarro's side ended in loyalty to the royal family, but after this action, the strength and prestige of the princess's faction increased greatly, and that is another story.

Anyway, after mid-September. Despite Brando's complete disappearance and absence, the title of Count Tonigel truly became a political force to be reckoned with in Eruin's country, officially entering the kingdom.

After that, there was a continuous reorganization, mobilization and logistics allocation, and the name of Miss Staff was known to the entire kingdom because of a series of events in the past month.

Naturally, rumors about the mistress of Count Tonigel spread so far and wide that she was laughed at by her men and the fir lords every time because of this. Even the eyes of Her Royal Highness the princess have become a little strange when she looks at her recently.

Antitina was not less troubled by this.

Looking north from the Shavrund hills, the sky is blue, with light clouds floating on the blue sky, and the emerald forest of Pallas in the distance is set in the mountains.

It was a rare good weather day for Tonigel of the season at the moment, probably due to the fall of the Black Moon, and the sunny days after autumn lasted for almost a month—although the strange pillars of light rose from all over Eruin when the 'stars' fell that day, minimizing the loss of the kingdom, the news that had gathered from Cruz and St. Osore after that day proved that Faenzan might not be much different.

At present, the farmland in the area from the port of Gers to the Mintailing. Wheat and cotton are in good condition and should have a bumper harvest this year, but if the sunny weather continues into winter, planting will be affected the following year, as the news from the astrologer's general association seems to confirm this fear.

The World Tree - This is the new name of the Valhalla Fortress among the local population of the Fir Territory area, and when the giant tree begins to thrive and grows beyond its fourth stage under the nurturing of the light, its lush canopy is no longer sheltered by the hills of Shavlund. No matter how difficult the fortress is to keep secret, Antitina has consulted with Leto and the others. The perimeter of Valhalla was simply opened, and the resettlement and resettlement process was to begin anyway - in Brando's plan. The influx of people from the fir and mintai areas will fill the lower town of Valhalla.

After a year and a half of final renovation by Oldum, a descendant of the rune dwarves, the lower town was finally completed in July, and in fact several districts have already begun to relocate, although the immigrants were initially resistant to the migration, but after arriving here, they were completely shocked, and after a period of staying. It's fair to say that no one has any grievances about this magic-powered city.

The only dissatisfaction was that the city's commercial activities had not yet begun to flourish, as Valhalla had not yet been fully opened to the outside world, so Tonigel's business activities were still carried out in Fir Fort and Grisg Harbor, although most of the merchants who were close to Tonigel had heard some rumors about the fortress to a greater or lesser extent.

So far. After Valhalla saw off the eldest son of the Cruz and his Knights, it was finally welcomed to its first occupants.

These were the first to move into the city, of course, to the lords of Tonigel, that is, Brando's most loyal people, although Brando had more or less no concept of loyalty, but under Antitina's screening, even if the royal party and other forces could plant spies and spies, it would not cause much trouble.

Not to mention that when Brando went to the north, Miss Staff took advantage of the opportunity to clean up the conservative forces of the royal party, and asked Leto and his veterans to form a secret intelligence organization, although Antitina had no concept of such a thing as a secret police that was ahead of its time, but the royal family and nobles all over Vaughn had their own secret agents, so it was not surprising, and even Princess Griffiin didn't ask half a word.

As veterans of the long-term war, Leto has no contact with the work of secret agents, but they can't stand the fact that there are light spirits inside Valhalla, which are not very noticeable, and with the help of these eyes that do not exist all the time, although Leto's subordinates do not perform well on the outside, at least the elderly Mr. Bronze Dragon on the inside is not bad.

So far, under the joint maintenance of the city guard under the command of Kuran and this spy force, Valhalla has finally survived the most difficult period, and the new residents of the city have finally become familiar with their new home.
