Sanders couldn't help but let out a long breath as he walked out of Valhalla's summer palace, he didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess would agree to a meeting with Her Highness Levin so quickly, although there were other details of the meeting that still needed to be discussed, but they were all inconsequential side details.

For this reason, the Sifah family will send a special delegation to discuss the issue, but that is not his remit. As Sanders stood in the leafy plaza, his gaze through the overlapping branches of Valhalla's periphery, the hilly scenery of Tonigel's area falling into his eyes far and near, and suddenly he realized that he might be leaving this place.

Although these days were only a fleeting glimpse, the beauty of the Mintai Hills was deeply engraved in his heart, a strange land that was thriving and showing a vitality not to be seen in other parts of Eruin today.

Discussions were held about the frontiers of civilization, the exploitation and adventure of the Black Forest, the reclamation, the minerals, and the expectations for the coming year, and the history of countless people's struggles gathered into a heavy poem, and the sons of farmers, craftsmen, and apprentices now had the title of knight.

What was deviant in the eyes of other nobles was so natural in this wasteland, and he felt a deep shock in his heart when he saw the knightly squires with the fluttering swallowtail flags and their newly honored masters driving into the deep forest.

Pioneer Knights -

In the year of the frog or in the year of the flames, how many years have it been since we saw the pioneer knights of the kingdom?

And not just in Eruin. How many years has it been since humans set foot outside the Black Forest? However, Tonygel has expanded by a third in just three years, and it has been paved with countless souls and blood, but what about this land called Vaynd.

It was as if Sanders had seen the birth of a new aristocracy. Just like the sages of the ancients, they are as glorious as the Eruin of that era.

It was a vibrant kingdom that seemed to exist in a bygone era.

He couldn't help but sigh deeply, if it was His Highness and not the eldest princess who met him first, they would definitely have like-minded language, and he still thought that maybe another option would be better than the somewhat overly conservative Korkova family.

But for now. Everything was still unclear, the future of the kingdom still depended on this vital meeting, and the urgency of the mission forced him to put his emotions away:

"Go find a fast horse. Send this document to Port Gries. ”

"Okay, leave it to me, sir."

The attendant from Balta took the letter with both hands, patting his chest and slapping the ticket. Little did he know that the letter in his hand was holding a kingdom. Two families, dozens of noble inheritances, and the fate of countless people.

Antitina glanced at the envoy not far away, she knew that the other party had just come out of the summer palace in Valhalla, and it must have been Her Royal Highness who had agreed to the other party's request to meet, this person had been hanging in Valhalla for half a month, and if it weren't for the fact that the light spirit would report to her every day about the situation of these 'outsiders' - of course, this was also her request - she would almost have thought that this person had left.

But the other party is really patient. He really made him wait, maybe because Haruzer came back. Or simply because Her Royal Highness the princess is in a better mood. She was not surprised by the presence of Count Grey Mountain's envoy at this point in time, Count Grey Hill had a natural affinity with the royal family of Corkova, and a war could not change anything, as history had long proven, although she was slightly surprised by the other's keen sense of smell.

The kingdom's history of constant struggles for throne and power has never been broken, and although there are not many cases of civil war, Eruin was also divided before the end of the Siphah dynasty, and her family roots gave Antitina a keen heart to discern the situation at hand, and she knew exactly what she was doing and had to do it.

"Although the lord is reluctant to get involved in the internal strife of the kingdom, these things are not wishful thinking that can be avoided, and the lord does not want to be contaminated with this layer of filth, so we, as his staff, should not take too much care of our feathers, whether it is a mistress or a butcher, I don't care."

"This is the first time I've heard you answer this question head-on, and you've changed a lot in your Lord's absence, Antitina."

"Mr. Charles, no matter what outsiders say, we all understand why your lordship went to the Empire. He cherished each and every one of us, whether it was Miss Akane or everyone else, which may be a bit naïve, but ......"

Antitina sighed softly: "I also cherish it, such an emotion, everyone is together, waiting for each other......"

"So when the adult is away, I have to help him take care of the family in order to be worthy of this trust. Anyone who dares to get involved, I wouldn't mind making that name a little more intimidating—"

"The cold-blooded mistress of Fir Castle?"

"The hostess is not yet."

"May Lord Martha protect Miss Roman, as well as Miss Metissa and Lord Lord." Charles prayed.

The two sat in the cloister of the Plaza de la Moon in Valha, an arcade of vines covered with snow-like clusters of flowers, which bloomed even after September, and the leaves of the flowers fell to the ground as the wind blew through the square.

Antitina withdrew her gaze from the other side of the square and asked, "And what are your plans next, Mr. Charles?" ”

"I will probably go to the front, and after the third batch of cadets of the Moon Tower graduate, I will take them with me to the Manoville area."

"Yes, I thought you would go alone to find the whereabouts of the lord, but in that case, I don't need to persuade you anymore."

"You were going to persuade me?"

Antitina nodded: "This war is related to the future of Eruin, and we know what is most important in the lord's heart." Victory in this war is still a long way off for us, but at least we can't lose too much, Toniguel needs time, only twenty years, or even ten years, for us to have the ability to fight Madara head-on. ”

"That's exactly what I'm thinking, and I don't want to see Brando's hard work go to waste. But I probably won't be able to help you develop a magic device after that, but I'll leave you with enough men that I won't take everyone with me. ”

"It's okay, there's only the finishing touches left anyway, and although there are still a lot of problems, I think it should be able to catch up with this war."

Charles paused: "Your teacher, Gallock the Wonderseeker has recently traveled south with Nicholas, and he may come to see you, he is very skilled in magic devices, and may be able to help you on the last step." ”

Hearing the name, Antitina frowned.

"How?" Charles keenly noticed the change in the mood of the staff lady.

"It's nothing, it has something to do with my father."

"Does he know Ling Zun?"

“…… It's a little bit related. Antitina changed the subject and said: "By the way, bring the witches with you, Eruin's magician regiment is far inferior to Mardala, Freya also thinks that the battle line will retreat to the east of Chablis in half a month, Lantonilan and Anlek's coalition army is ready to stop the army of the undead in the Crimson Canyon, fighting in the forests and hills, you will need them." ”

"It sounds like the situation on the front line is terrible."

"The undead are fierce, and the coalition forces of the nobles are very expensive on the front line, and the news from Sylman that they can buy us so much time is already commendable."

The alliance of Goran-Elson and Viero could not stop the undead, which was expected for a long time, and the royal party was gathering reinforcements in the rear to support the front line, but for Tonigel, with the prophetic plug-in of Brando, everything was already ready in the territory.

Historically, the coalition forces retreated all the way to the north of Manoville, losing the strategic depth of the Fort Kurk line and the Pragus area, thus leading to the division of the battlefields of Karasu and Lantoniland, which was also the direct cause of the crimson canyon defeat in the Second War of the Black Roses.

But for now, at least the battle that had destroyed all hopes in the kingdom of Eruin had not yet begun, and Brando had planned according to the worst-case scenario from the beginning, and by this moment Freya had gone to Gendenel to assemble, and the White Lion Guards marched out of the southern foothills of the Dwarven Ring Mountain Range, echoing the Lantonilan legion that had descended south from Rewater.

Coupled with the White Lion Legion that is in the Anlek region, in such a situation, it is almost impossible for the Black Rose of Bromanda to fight a perfect war of annihilation as it has done in history, and it is more likely that there will be dozens of defensive battles large and small around the strategic point of Fort Kurk.

Crimson Glen will no longer be the place of Eru's wounds, but rather a hideous wound that will drain the blood of Madara.

Moreover, he didn't expect Eruin to defeat him in the Second War of the Black Roses just three years later, but there was not only one enemy in Madara, and there was not only one front in the Land of the Dead Moon, as long as they could fight a stalemate near Fort Kurk, the undead would soon be unable to support it.

After all, the rising Black Rose of Romandor is not yet the unstoppable empire of a few decades later.

And what Eruin needs is all the forces that can contain Madara's smooth attack, the alliance of the nobles, the reinforcements of the royal party and even the White Lion Legion are just the original weight on the scale, what can really change the situation of the battle is the power from Valhalla that has never existed in history.

The flame ignited by the Ring of Trade Winds will finally light the way forward for this kingdom on this day.
