The prologue of the last year of the Second Age of the Continent still begins with the war. This protracted war swept through all the countries of the continent and tens of millions of civilians. Countless valiant nobles have saved their lives in the Second Age, and countless new heroes have risen in this era.

The last remnants of the Desik people on the continent, the Desik army, with more than 100,000 troops, has become a new target for the Magic Empire's army. The high-ranking generals of the dispatch army, who were unwilling to form an alliance with the Shang Alliance, came to their end.

After about half a year, the Magic Empire digested the fruits of their war in the three southwestern kingdoms of the Shang Alliance. More than 300 magic towers were erected, and the Imperial Archon Elby also left the territory of the Shang Alliance and returned to Kyoto City. Of course, this place is no longer called Kyoto City, it has a new name, or an old name, - the Imperial Capital of the Magic Empire.

Under the direction of the archon Merlin, the high-ranking nobles of the empire are currently scattered throughout the continent. Arthur's leader, Lan Lan, and Night Red were in the territory of the former Desik, and General Blake and Winster were stationed in the three southwestern kingdoms of the Shang Alliance. Between Manstein and Montgomery, who were guarding the imperial capital, Elby chose Montgomery as the vanguard general to attack the Desik Dispatch Army, and gathered an army of more than 150,000 men and left the imperial capital in the spring of this year.

The direction of attack chosen by the Magic Empire's army this time was to launch an operation from the south along the Morro River, from the south of the former White Harbor Kingdom and Manning Kingdom.

The Desik Dispatch had about 100,000 men left, including 10,000 each of the Rangers and Steppenwolf Riders, which was the only mobile force they had. The others were Desik infantry. But these Desik troops are no longer the Desik army of five years ago. At that time, they were an army full of ideals, hopes, and determinations, and under the leadership of the Emperor, they fought into the hinterland of their neighbors, robbing them of their property, occupying their lands, and plundering their populations. And now, this is just a group of remnants who have lost their homes and loved ones, staying aimlessly in the city every day, mixing their days.

Florian and Jim are the only two surviving golden wolf-headed generals of the Desik Empire. The strength of the Magic Empire completely shattered their initial idea of separating independently. The armies of the Magic Empire are like a giant sword hanging over their heads, and it is only a matter of time before the giant sword falls. The battle against the magicians on the edge of the canyon deprived them of the courage to continue fighting the Magic Empire.

General Jim opted for fine wine. He and his subordinates were stationed in White Harbor City, the original capital of the White Harbor Kingdom, and they hardly left the city when they had nothing to do, and they were drunk and dreamed of death in the wine vat every day. His subordinates hardly bothered him, and those subordinates who were once heroic Desic Wasteland warriors were now pot-bellied, fat enough to even go up to Steppenwolf.

And those who don't know, Steppenwolf, probably think they're breeding pigs.

And General Florian, he stayed in Manning City all the time. The city, which had paid a great price in the Merchant War, has been Florian's home ever since. His hobby differed from Jim's, and in just half a year, Florian had his subordinates loot dozens of women and send them to his mansion. Every day, the house of the former prince and nobleman of Manning is heard with the wailing of women. No one knows what General Florian is doing inside.

Death Knell, the former base of the Desik Army, was completely abandoned after the army retreated back to Manning-White Harbor. General Florian, who couldn't keep his spirits, didn't even organize an army to transport other supplies from Deathknell back to the city, except for food. The piles of weapons, armor, and bows and arrows gradually molded and rotted in the warehouses of Deathknell.

So it was with the generals, and even more so with the soldiers. The Steppenwolf riders are all fat pigs, and the ordinary soldiers are even more chaotic in military discipline, and they don't look like an army.

This was the situation before the Magic Empire's army launched the operation, and in Florian's own words, they were all a group of people who were left unattended anyway, who would come and deal with them. Even if the army of the Magic Empire comes, it will be nothing more than death.

General Florian has mixed feelings about the Magic Empire, but from the beginning to the end, he has no intention of surrendering to the Magic Empire. This is very puzzling to the world.

While the heralds who called the police galloped into Manning, Florian was still enjoying himself in his mansion. The Heralds and Rangers on the border guard were probably the only troops in Desik who were still loyal to their duties, and they were outnumbered compared to the Magic Empire troops who crossed the border. So after leaving a small number of troops to stop them, the soldiers with horses immediately turned their horses' heads and sent the news to Manning and White Harbor respectively.

"Where is the general, I want to see the general, there is an urgent military situation!" The rangers who came in a hurry obviously saw the strange expressions of the other party when they faced the guards of the general's mansion with expressionless faces.

"This lord," the guard whispered, "the general's mental state is very bad, I don't know if he can understand you when you go in at this time." ”

"What does this mean!" the ranger looked at the guards in shock, could it be that the supreme commander of the dispatch army didn't even care about the military situation?

The guard shook his head helplessly, walked into a hall of the mansion with the ranger who reported the news, and then pointed there helplessly and said, "I won't explain, you can see for yourself!"

Once again, the Ranger's psyche was shocked. In this hall, there were dozens of civilian women who were clearly from the Shang Alliance, sitting or standing, tied there, their clothes exposed. And their general, Florian, was blindfolded, with a wine glass in one hand and a cloth over his eyes, visibly drunk, and grinning and teasing the poor women.

"General Florian is finished! The Dispatch Army is finished!" was the only thought of the Ranger leader. However, the battle situation on the front line was urgent, so he had to step forward and report loudly: "General Florian, there is an urgent military situation!"

As if he hadn't heard, Florian continued his "game". The leader of the rangers was in a hurry, rushed up and grabbed General Florian, and shouted again, "General Florian!"

Only then did Florian react, he tore off the cloth covering his eyes, and looked at the other party for a long time before frowning: "Oh, it's you, Adams, aren't you in the south, why did you come back!"

Looking at Florian's indifferent appearance, Adams, the leader of the rangers, was a little unbearable, but he still said patiently, "General, the army of the Magic Empire is coming from the south, more than 100,000 people, 300 magicians. The news is already a day ago, please make a decision early. ”

Florian frowned again and repeated, "Magic Empire troops?"

Adams nodded heavily, "That's right, the Magic Empire army, more than 100,000 people, 300 magicians. ”

Unexpectedly, Florian smiled, he picked up the wine glass again and took a sip, and took a good reminiscence, "It's finally here." ”

Listening to Florian's words, Adams was taken aback, as the supreme general of the Desic Dispatch Army, why did Florian have such an attitude.

Florian seemed to understand Adams' thoughts, "Adams, you have said that the army of the 100,000 Magic Empire may be more than 100,000, more than 300 magicians, what can we use to resist." It's better to continue with my wonderful days, one more day is a day. ”

Adams, the leader of the Rangers, was the only one in the sending army who still had some courage, and he rushed forward to grab Florian without hesitation, "General, we are the last remnants of the Desiks. If we don't resist, Desik really won't be left. ”

Florian sneered, "Do you think Desik is still there now? It's gone, it's gone, the moment Edward wants to be emperor, Desik is gone." If a huge empire collapses in five years, then this empire may not deserve to continue to exist in this world. ”

Adams was dumbfounded by Florian's words, and looked at him dumbfounded, and Florian patted him on the shoulder, "Relax." I had already sent the troops back to Manning and White Harbor, and the guard posts and camps in the wilderness could not have been saved. Don't worry, under Manning, we're still going to have a battle with the Magic Empire's army, no matter what the outcome is. ”

Adams then realized that General Florian wanted to rely on the tall walls of Manning City for a while, but what was the point of that. Besides, how could Manning City hold on without the help of a magician?

General Jim, who was in White Harbor, also received a message from the forward rangers at the same moment. Compared to Manning City, White Harbor, where he and his army were located, was a port city that was not easy to defend. The first thing he did when he woke up from his drunkenness was to gather all the Steppenwolf riders and rangers and stride towards Manning.

At such a moment, the two main forces of the Desik army can only be warmed up. No one knows how long they will be able to hold out under the forces of the Magic Empire.

Jim and Florian, who met each other, soon received the latest battle report from the front. The Magic Empire's army is not only 100,000, but 150,000. Leading the troops was the Magic Empire General Montgomery, a man who was the former San Jose General. Equipped with hundreds of magicians, with their help, in just ten days, the entire kingdom of Manningnanma and White Harbor has been occupied.

The Magic Empire's goal didn't seem to be to capture much land, and the armies and mages were almost constantly swooping down on Manning City, the main force of Desik's army.

"Would you like to ask the Merchant Alliance for help?" Jim suggested to Florian.

"What is there to ask for help from this", Florian shrugged indifferently, for the business alliance, for us, it is nothing more than a relationship that will be destroyed one day earlier and one day later. I have already explained to all the officers in the lower ranks, let go of your hands and feet, and kill as many soldiers of the Magic Empire as you can, and as many magicians as you can. We're not going back anyway. Back then, we fought to the death with the Shang Alliance in Manning, and now, Manning City is where our bones are buried.

"Alright!" Jim had no choice but to respond.
