Northwest of the continent, the Kingdom of Southern Madur, the city of Southern Madur.

The last of the top leaders of the Merchant Alliance gathered in the city, and military representatives such as Queen Nanmadol, Duke Carman, Duke Tra, Queen Lolita, and Kster all sat together, with a huge military map in the center. At the table there was also a representative from other places, looking at his attire, it was clear that he was an envoy from the Desik Empire, and he was Elizabeth's representative.

After Koster formed an alliance with Elizabeth on behalf of the Merchants, Elizabeth sent a magician to South Madur to liaise with the Merchants. Then use magic to deliver the message to Elizabeth. Although the Magic Empire has a fairly tight grip on the city of Auckland, there are many ways for a mage to leave.

The moderators of the meeting were the Duke of Carman, Mu Jr. and Kester.

"Hello everyone, in view of the tense situation at the front, we have convened everyone to discuss the main issues at present and the next steps, and General Koster will address you. Xiao Mu said and gave up the throne to Koster and nodded at him.

Kester didn't shirk either, and stepped forward to clear his throat.

"As you all know, I was away for dozens of days some time ago. In the past few tens of days, I have traveled to three places, the misty forest where the elven kingdom is located, the depths of the long sea where the dragon clan is located, and the territory of the former Shang Alliance countries that we occupied. For other races, the Great Elf King wanted to ensure the continuation of his race, so he sent a small number of elven archers and elven magicians to support us, and the dragons gave me some of the power of dragon magic. After communicating with the Great Elder of the Dragon Clan and the Great Elven King, we drew up a plan of action. ”

Koster paused, his gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone in the room. Among them, representatives from the Business Alliance, Lolita, Setie, and General Wellington from San Jose are all people who have fought side by side with him and are worthy of trust. The representative from Princess Elizabeth's command, although he is a first-time visitor to the Business Alliance, as a new ally, he also deserves the trust of Kester.

So after glancing around, Koster continued, "We have drawn up a plan, for Merlin and his followers, they have a great force and a large number of magicians. The Magic Tower is almost complete, and our current strength is too weak compared to them. Judging from the military intelligence coming back from the front line, the army of the Magic Empire is organizing an attack on the remnants of the Desik Army, which is one of the only remaining forces on the mainland to resist the Magic Empire besides us. ”

"So, we are going to do two things now, reinforce the Desik Dispatch Army, and deal with Merlin and his followers in Kyoto City. ”

What Kerst said was very vague, but the people present were all smart people, and they immediately understood what he meant.

"Caster, you mean to assassinate Merlin?" Lolita, who was now the tallest of the people present, asked the question on behalf of the group.

Kerry nodded, "Yes, the Great Elder of the Dragon Clan and the Great Elven King, these are all creatures on the continent that are known for their wisdom, and the best solution to the advice they gave me at the moment is this." The strength of the Magic Empire is not something we can compete with now. But the Magic Empire itself was formed in a rather hasty manner, and they were nothing more than Merlin's request to be unified under his command at the moment. If we lose their leader, we have a chance. After all, there are still many people on this continent who oppose Merlin. ”

"Can you succeed?" asked Xiao Mu on the side.

"Do your best, whether you succeed or not, but it's always worth a try. Kerst looked serious.

"Okay then, so what do we need to do?"

Koster picked up his baton from his desk and pointed to the military map, "You guys come and see......

The military meeting at the palace of the South Madur lasted a full day. All the nobles were inside without leaving their homes to discuss the next plan of action. This time the plan was quite risky and radical, but it was approved by everyone. Compared to the Magic Empire, the current alliance of the Shang Alliance, San Jose and Desik is too weak, and only by leaving it to death can it have a chance of survival.

According to the order of the headquarters, the remaining remnants of the Shang Alliance's army will abandon the border guards, and the regular army of more than 50,000 Shang Alliance (a considerable number of which are collected and reorganized) will be assembled as quickly as possible to join the battle near Manning City, the main battlefield of the Desik Dispatch Army.

One thing they need to do is to keep the Desik dispatch as much as possible so that they don't collapse too quickly, and at the same time attract the attention of the Magic Empire's army as much as possible, so that they can mispredict the direction of the Shang Alliance's actions. At the same time, the existing allies of the Business Alliance, including General Wellington's former Royal Navy of San Jose, and the remnants of Elizabeth's former Desic army, will all use their own ways to gather on the battlefield as much as possible.

All of the goals are to create the impression of a battle to the death and attract enough troops from the Magic Empire to the battlefield.

"Move, move!" shouted the officers and nobles, directing the soldiers to load the wagons. These armies in South Madur City are the remnants of the remnants collected by the only remaining nobles of the Shang League during this period of time, and their composition is very complicated: there are soldiers who have been evacuated from the three southwestern countries one after another, and many of them have even been scattered in the war; there are also the resistance organizations in the north of the original Shang League, except for a few places in the north that have been liberated, and the resistance organizations have been upgraded to regular troops; and some are even more peculiar, they are the Desik soldiers captured when the north was liberated by Kister, and their current leader is the original Desik silver wolf head General Hedley。

The officers were roaring, and the soldiers were hurrying to pack their bags. Although morale was not high, there was also a sense of sadness in everyone's hearts. The nobles said that this war may be the last battle, and if you win it, you will hope to return to your hometown, and if you lose the war, maybe the continent will be under the rule of the Magic Empire. The nobles of the Magic Empire only have preferential treatment for magicians, and they have little respect for commoners who have not awakened the elements.

Many of the officers were not in high spirits, but they did have their own support, and that was the young general of the Shang League, Koster. General Koster once recovered the northern part of the Shang Alliance and defeated the invincible Desiks; General Koster once held out for eight days without defeat in the frontline battle with the Magic Empire with a small army; General Koster is an excellent general, and General Koster even has a dragon.

And their idol, Koster, is saying goodbye to their friends one by one in the palace. The time to return this time was quite short, so short that everyone didn't have time to see each other alone, and it wasn't until now that he was leaving, that Kerst could spare time.

"My family, their convoy should be coming from the Sunset Mountains soon", Koster explained to everyone about his trip to Koster Manor, and at the same time relayed to Xiao Mu about the arrival of Drew and their arrival in South Madol, "Little Mu, Lolita, you all know my family, please take care of them on their behalf." Kester said, Xiao Mu hurriedly supported him, "What do you say, Kester, your family is my family, they are also my people, I will take good care of them." ”

Behind Kerst are Feida, Rika and Kaka. This time, Kerst only took the two of them there. Feida's martial arts skills and Rika are Kerth's subordinates, and they follow suit. As for the others, Kerst refused to go with them. "The capital of the Magic Empire is heavily guarded, and we will ride Kaka straight to it. There are too many people, and the goal is too big, and Feida and Rika are the only people besides me who can follow Kaka to go together. ”

Xiao Mu nodded, indicating that he understood what Castter meant, "Then you should be careful." Hopefully you will soon get news of your victory. Caster couldn't finish speaking, stepped forward and gave him a hug, and then gave everyone who came to see him off one by one, Lolita, Monica...... Next are Feida and Rika, at this time, even Rika and Kerth's servants, in their eyes, are also warriors who are about to go on the expedition.

Without saying anything more, Kerst drew the heartbroken sword on his side and solemnly placed it on his chest, "May the glory of the nobles bless us!"

All the rest also put their right hands on their chests, "May the glory of the nobles bless you!"

In South Madur City, when the army of the Shang Alliance was in full swing to prepare, Manning City, Florian and Jim, thousands of miles away, looked at the army of the Magic Empire under the city with a gloomy face. It's been a while since the Magic Empire was founded, and the way they fought had spread across the continent through wars with the Shang Alliance.

At this moment, a large number of protective objects have been set up on the city wall to prevent the attack of magicians, including various wooden sheds, sandbags, and so on. Although the morale is low, it can't be caught in the face of the attack of the Magic Empire army. "General, how long do you think we'll be able to hold out?" asked Jim worriedly to Florian.

The once high-spirited young leader of the Wasteland Samurai Order has now lost his original sharpness, and in the dead of night, he seems to regret his choice, but who knows.

Flory said quietly, "How long we can hold out, it doesn't really depend on us, you know Jim?"

Jim shook his head, "I don't understand, General, please speak up." ”

Florian looked back and smiled wryly, "Do you know why the Shang Alliance allowed us to exist forever? Now that the Magic Empire's army has arrived, and the Shang Alliance has lost its previous power, this barrier has instead become the center of the final decisive battle. ”

"General, are you saying that the Merchant Alliance will come to our aid?" Jim couldn't believe it.

"Of course they will come, and I have already sent a letter asking for help to South Madur. ”

While the two were talking, a huge flamingo suddenly flew from the sky to the head of Manning City, and when he saw the bird, Florian smiled, "Look, what am I talking about?
