In the southern Madur of the northern country, as soon as the Double Day Festival passed, the cold wind blew from north to south, carrying a huge amount of ice to hit this continent. Southern Madur, the country furthest north of the merchant alliance, will always turn into a world covered in silver in just a few days or something.

The country of Southern Madur is not quite the same as the rest of the Merchant League, to be precise, it is a city-state. There is only one megacity in the whole of South Madur, South Madol City. Most of the remaining residents of Southern Madur are alpine tribes who live in the Sunset Mountains all year round. During the warm summer months, the people of the alpine tribes hunt in the mountains and graze their cattle in the wilderness. And once winter comes, they will retreat back into the village, eat the food they have accumulated in the summer, and wait silently for the harsh winter to pass.

The mountain tribes, and their distant relatives, the barbarians of the ancestors of the Desiks, were fishermen, hunters, and herders at the foot of the Sunset Mountains, and barely cultivated food.

As for the nobles who stayed in the city of Southern Madur, they lived a different life, more similar to the humans in the south.

However, the Desikhs invaded Southern Madur and completely changed the country. After the occupation of the Desiks, the period of the siege of the New Three Armies, the period of restoration, and even now, the Southern Madurians have found that even the headquarters of the merchant alliance has moved to their country.

The major defeat of the Shang Alliance in the south forced the survivors to flee to the north for refuge in order to escape the clutches of the Magic Empire. Some of them are even the same wave of people who went south back then.

Compared with the retreat of Baigang that year, the losses suffered by the Shangmeng people this time were even heavier, they almost lost all the dividends of the development they had been immersed in in the past few years, and there was not even much left of the nobles of various countries. Some people will say that the business alliance has existed in name only.

In the siege and annihilation battle outside the city of Mister, almost all the leaders of the entire headquarters of the Merchant Alliance were divided and annihilated, and the military council was wiped out by King Lucius, along with the last army they had recruited.

In the following three months, the Magic Empire's troops advanced to the entire territory of the three southwestern kingdoms of the Shang Alliance. The only ones who managed to lead the evacuation of a small number of troops were the Duke of Carman siblings, the Duke of Tra, the Duke of Mosat, Lori Manning Jr., and Princess Lolita of San Jose. Of the complete army, only the New Sixth Army and the New Army remained, with a total of less than 30,000 people.

All the civilians had no time to retreat and had to become captives of the Magic Empire. San Jose migrants, who were temporarily living on the border between Mosat and Tra, also did not have time to retreat. General Wellington simply hurriedly took his troops and led the Royal Navy out of the offshore waters to take refuge in the depths of the Long Sea, where they did not have much supplies and how long they could hold out, no one knows.

Several of the surviving nobles of the Merchant Alliance rebuilt the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance after meeting with Princess Gualman in the city of Southern Madur. However, at this time, the atmosphere at the headquarters of the Business Alliance was as cold as the cold weather outside, extremely cold.

For half a month, the headquarters of the business alliance did not come up with a clear directive. Neither Duke Mu nor Duke Tra were good at military affairs, and neither of them had good advice in the face of the current predicament. And Princess Gualman, at this time, also has no master.

In fact, there is one person that all the business alliance people have to be thankful for the most, and that is Kester. Fortunately, when the Magic Empire had no time to estimate the surrounding areas during the establishment of the Magic Empire, Kosok restored Carthage and Kosok, and connected the enclave of Southern Madur with the mainland of the Merchant Alliance, otherwise, the Merchant Alliance, which had no way to retreat, would really be destroyed.

However, this Kester, who was thanked by everyone, fell into an infinite coma at this moment.

Three months have passed since he fell unconscious.

The medical officer of the Shang Alliance had already treated him, and Kerter did not guard too serious external injuries, but was stimulated by the fierce battlefield environment at that time. According to Kester's squire Rika, during the war, Kist commanded eight days of battle at the front, during which he did not close his eyes for a minute.

After the death of his colleague Captain Christet, Kerst organized the evacuation of the army, and unwillingly, he rode a dragon to Mister City, just in time for the Magic Empire's army to encircle and suppress the Shang Alliance. The last of the Merchant Alliance's armies crumbled under the attack of the magicians, and his old boss, General Calvin, who was very fond of Kester, died in front of him.

Having a nervous breakdown, Vester continued westward, and after seeing that his friends Xiao Mu and Lolita were still safe and sound, the nerves in Caster's mind could no longer be strained. It's like a tense and too tight band, the break of "Peng". Greatly stimulated, Kerst fell into a prolonged coma.

Whether it was the medical officer's medicine or Xiao Mu's healing technique, it was like a stone sinking into the sea on Kester's body, and there was no response. Caster grew thinner and thinner, as if he didn't want to wake up to these facts.

Duke Mu organized the evacuation of the civilians and troops of Kaman to the north. Those who don't have time to leave, go to the Sunset Mountains to take refuge. Caster, lying in the carriage, trekked all the way to the city of South Madol.

His New Sixth Army and the New Army of the Merchant League also entered Carthage and Kosok one after the other. Koster's New Sixth Army, while the Legion Commander was unconscious, was temporarily commanded by Commander Jon.

Feida and Rika, who are both in South Madur City at the moment, couldn't believe it when they received Xiao Mu's information about Koster's coma. The information is placed in a metal canister and brought back by the card.

Kaka flew back to the barracks of the New Sixth Army alone, and Rika and Feida had a bad premonition in their hearts. Fortunately, there is a handwritten letter from Xiao Mu in the metal bucket on Kaka's back. The two of them discussed it, called Jon, Duncan, and Clark together, and after a brief arrangement, hurried to South Madol City.

In fact, the two of them arrived with Kaka one step ahead of Koster.

Feda sat in front of Kerth's house, silently distracted.

After the destruction of the city outside South Madur, the fire in the royal palace ignited many nearby buildings, and a small half of the city was reduced to ashes. In the entire palace of Nanmadur, only the princess's semi-circular terraced garden remains, still standing quietly.

During the stationing of the New Third Army, half of the city was cleared of ashes, and it is now the camp of the army. And the remaining half of the city, more than enough to accommodate the fleeing southerners.

Because of his relationship with Queen Nanmadur and his image as a hero in the eyes of the northerners, he was placed in a large mansion near the royal palace to recuperate. In addition to Phaeda and Rika, Gualman also arranged for several maids to come and take care of their daily life.

Xiao Mu, Monica, Lolita and others discuss the current situation with Queen Gualman every day, and occasionally come to see Cast's situation when they have free time, and quietly wait for him to wake up.

"But Cast, when will you wake up? Now, the Shang Alliance needs you, Xiao Mu needs you, and I need you too!" Feida had ten thousand voices calling in her heart, but her beloved man was still lying there quietly, as if he was sleeping.

"How's Koster doing today?" Feida was thinking about her thoughts, and a familiar voice came from beside her, it was Xiao Mu.

"Well, it's still like that. Feida looked listless.

"Don't worry too much, the doctor said he was just overthinking and stimulated, which is a kind of protection from his brain. Xiao Mu comforted, "He will always wake up one day." ”

"But who knows what day it will be!" said Feda, still unable to pull herself together, and inside the house, Rika was wiping down Kerst and pouring some milk to satisfy her stomach. Looking at his attendant, Xiao Mu couldn't help but nod. After all these years of getting along, the original unpleasantness has long since disappeared, Rika, this is really taking Kerst as her master.

"Oh, that's right", Xiao Mu patted his head, "I almost forgot to get down to business." Yesterday, the Duke of Tra recommended two men to me, saying that they were two soldiers who had escaped with him. One of these two men, one of whom claimed to be a potions master, made potions with miraculous properties, so let's ask them about them. ”

"Potions Master?" Ferdar wondered, "What is a Potions Master?"

"I don't know very well, even if it's the first time I've heard about this profession. However, the Duke of Tra said that his potion provided him with great benefits and helped him solve a great problem. But. The Duke of Tra didn't say much, and I don't quite understand what the problem he was talking about?"

"Oh, it's so magical?" Feida was a little skeptical, "Xiao Mu, you say, do you want to call me to try it?"

Xiao Mu nodded, "That's why I came to ask what you mean, I think since the medical officer and the magician can't do anything, otherwise, let this so-called potions master try it." ”

Ode, Yerus, and Bryde, after joining the new formation of the Merchant Alliance, have been stationed near Mister City as a reserve, and Ode is their squadron leader officer.

When the Magic Empire's army was about to break through the defense of Kist, the Military Council prepared to evacuate the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance in Myster City. At that time, they sent part of the newly formed army to the northwestern border of the Duchy of Tra, preparing to open the way for the subsequent evacuees.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, Oude's squadron is part of this team. Left and right, they did not wait for the follow-up evacuees in the border area. After that, there was an overwhelming influx of routs and fleeing civilians.

Then came the news of the defeat of the Shang Alliance.

The Magic Empire's army broke through the defense line and surrounded the city of Myster, killing all the nobles and troops from King Lucius onwards.

Following the remnants of the army, these people came all the way to the territory of Southern Madur, where they were to reorganize with all the Shang allies who had successfully escaped, and temporarily settled in the city of Southern Madur.

When he had nothing to do, the name of the Potions Master of Yerus spread in the city of Southern Madur. His potions with strange effects were praised by the Grand Duke of Terra, who had also fled here.

After hearing about the unconscious Kerst, the Duke of Tra introduced Yerus to Little Mu.

That morning, Yerus, his friend Brad, and his squadron leader Ode, led by the guards, came to a large mansion in the city of South Madur, where two beautiful women were waiting for them.

"Is it Jarus the Potionsman?" said a woman in front of her.
