Green and Robertson returned to the borders of the Duchy of Tra forty days later, and the group did not seem to have suffered less. During this time, the entire business alliance has been closely watching the rebellion in San Jose. In addition to the scout camp sent by Koster, the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance and the Adventurers' Guild also sent a large number of adventurers to infiltrate San Jose.

Such a large-scale move would not have been allowed before, and even if the Shang Alliance and San Jose were allies, San Jose would never have allowed so many intelligence agents to enter its territory. It's just that the current San Jose is already in tatters, and no one has the energy to manage the intelligence officers of the Business Alliance.

Green and Robertson brought detailed information about San Jose's country, and these news and the scattered news brought back by the adventurer's guild in the previous stage corroborated each other, and Nicker and the high-level leaders of the business alliance finally figured out what was going on in San Jose.

The information provided to Lolita by Mage Setty is accurate, but not too detailed. This time, Green personally took his subordinates from Arnold and infiltrated Kyoto City to get first-hand information. Thanks to his decades of adventure, Green's actions were quite smooth and the information he received was complete.

In the Battle of Kyoto Castle, the three sides of the battle were mainly the Guards and Defenders led by General Lineker of Kyoto Castle, the Desic cavalry led by General De Silkman Stein, and the two supporting armies that came to help, Wendell's Western Frontier Army and Viscount Slim's Guards Cavalry. The three armies, including the Desik cavalry and Slim's Guards cavalry, left the Kyoto Castle area one after the other, while General Wendell entered the castle under the pretext of defending the Red Keep.

After the victory in the Battle of Kyoto Castle, everyone in Kyoto Castle celebrated, and a grand banquet was held in the Red Castle. Who knew that the leader of the court magician organization in San Jose, the Grand Magister Merlin, actually united with General Wendell to launch a military coup. Merlin is the leader of Dark Rising, and most of the court mages are also members of Dark Rising. And General Wendell is also the man who infiltrated the San Jose Army by Dark Rising.

Even more terrifying is the innumerable number of people infiltrated, bought, and threatened by the Rise of Darkness in San Jose. Shortly after the incident in the city of Kyoto, the fighting in the Kursk direction was largely over, and the San Jose people won a complete victory. Count Mosic, the Minister of War of the Imperial Council, was assassinated as he was about to return to Kyoto City, and the entire Kursk front was thrown into disarray by the San Jose army. Controlled by the Dark Rising, the army launched a sneak attack on the army loyal to the royal family, killing tens of thousands.

It wasn't just San Jose's army that was also bought, but Deswick's army as well. Remember Manstein's fleeing Desik cavalry, more than 20,000 men, all elite wolf riders and rangers? No one would have thought that they were also the ones who rose from darkness. Rise of Darkness provided them with two magical beasts, the ones that had appeared in the Red Branch Stone Forest area earlier.

Viscount Slim and his cavalry were all killed. With the disappearance of this last army loyal to the royal family, the entire San Jose royal family, a great family that has been inherited for a thousand years, has completely disappeared from the territory of San Jose.

The operation of the Dark Rising should have been planned for a long time, so many officers, nobles, and ministers are their people, you can imagine how much work they have done.

"And that's not all!" Green continued. After leaving Kyoto City, Green joined the scout camp that was waiting outside, and he and Robertson split up their forces and made a great circle along the eastern coast of San Jose to the south, finally returning to the Tra border. Along the way, San Jose's counties and provinces are facing a state of collapse. The royalists, the dark rising, the Desiks, are in disarray, and there are wars everywhere.

San Jose, a powerful country that was originally extremely wealthy, has now completely lost its national order, and the county guards and governors everywhere have no idea which people around them are Desik, which are Dark Rising, and which are loyal to the royal family. Even they themselves don't know which side they are.

On the way back, the scout wing even encountered a few waves of Desik cavalry. Fortunately, Green and Robertson were experienced, so they escaped smoothly.

"So, in the whole territory of San Jose, is there anyone we can ally with or exploit?" asked Kerst.

"It's hard to say, in my opinion, Dark Rise will definitely not let San Jose mess up. They are already shouting slogans for the restoration of the Magic Empire. I believe that in the near future, they will definitely have to pack up those royalist troops. Most of the royalist armies we know at present are some aristocratic private soldiers loyal to the royal family, and they are not very successful. The only one that has made it on scale is the Royal Navy of San Jose in the southern Yonhamie area. ”

The Royal Navy has always been known as the Royal Son, and they are the most loyal troops in San Jose. Their commander, General Wellington, was not a man of the Rise of Darkness, despite being close to the court magicians. This is quite surprising, as Mage Setty was also preparing to defect to General Wellington when he was separated from Lolita before.

"Actually, Kerster," Green said a little and stopped. Kster stared at him, "Go on, Green. ”

Green continued, "Actually, these so-called royalists also have their own goals. In the Red Fort Ballroom in Kyoto City, the royal family of San Jose was wiped out. Now who knows those royalists, whether they want to protect the royal family, or if they want to be royal. ”

Caster had to admit that what Green said was right, and in the face of absolute interests, any glory and dignity were fake. "In any case, the chaotic San Jose is not a good thing for the current business alliance, but we are small in power and there is nothing we can do about it. ”

"It's not entirely bad. Green looked up suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Kerst was puzzled.

"Now that the darkness is rising, their main job must be to unite forces throughout San Jose and realize their political demands as soon as possible. Whether Merlin wanted to be emperor or archon, for a while, their energy would definitely be focused on cleaning up the opposition in the country. But they may have all missed a little, and the San Jose royal family did not have an heir. ”

"You mean, Lolita?" said Koster, surprised.

"Don't you understand what a royal can do in this situation?" said Grimm.

That night, Kester's Pegasus rushed back to Mister, pulled the members of the Military Council, Princess Lolita and others, and conspired and discussed for a long time.

In the current situation on the mainland, the San Jose Empire has collapsed, and the defeated Desik Empire seems to be holding out shortly, and all military leaders are trying to develop their own forces. Not to mention anything else, let's take the dispatch army in the territory of the Shang League, the 150,000 people under the command of General Florian, in such a bad situation in Desik, these 150,000 Desik's most elite troops actually sat firmly in Diaoyutai, and had no intention of returning to China to stabilize the situation. Including the royalists in San Jose, their purpose is nothing more than to reap more benefits in this name.

Green's words are not wrong, for the Shang Alliance, they are now short of resources, lack of land, lack of manpower, all of which are urgently needed by the Shang Alliance. At this time, what a good opportunity for Princess Lolita to stand on the side of the Shang Alliance. If you can use Lolita's name to win the neutral forces and royalist forces in San Jose as much as possible, this will also be a powerful boost for the business alliance.

Of course, the Shang Alliance is not empty-handed, Princess Lolita now has nothing in her hands except for thousands of garrison soldiers who are not strong in combat. At this time, she in turn has to rely on the power of the Shang Alliance. It's a mutually beneficial relationship for both parties.

Lolita didn't object to this, her mood was actually quite conflicted. On the one hand, she doesn't have a deep affection for San Jose, and she has always put the interests of the business alliance first. However, the current state of the San Jose royal family has forced her to consider this reality, and she is already the last hope of the royal family. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, she basically agreed with the opinions put forward by the business alliance.

"What the hell is going on with Desik?" suddenly remembered after the discussion.

"Desik's situation, that's even worse!" the elder of the Adventurer's Guild took out a piece of information, "The information we have collected is not complete, but the situation can be said to be very bad. ”

Almost all parts of Desik rebelled at the same time. The Frontier Legion on the banks of the Morro River, the Navy at Xingang, and the rebels controlled by the Dark Rise in White Rock City were launched at the same time. Especially in White Rock City, Rise of Darkness mainly bought off the nobles who were dissatisfied with Edward VI, gathered noble private soldiers and recruits, and surrounded and suppressed the Desik royal family. However, these nobles did not escape in the end, and were killed by the people who rose from darkness one by one.

The Desik Empire has hated mages for so many years, and there should be many members of the Dark Order who have died in their territory, and this time, the Rise of Darkness is not soft. Almost the entire Desik high-ranking nobles were wiped out. The Desik Empire seems to be in a worse situation than San Jose, having been almost taken over by the Rise of Darkness.

Koster had been staying at the Tra border all this time, and he didn't expect that Desik's situation seemed to be more dire. "You mean to say that the Rise of Darkness has almost taken control of most of the continent, and our Shang Alliance is about to face a situation of fighting alone?"

"Captain Koster, you're absolutely right. King Lucius said with a solemn face, "That's why we need Princess Lolita to go to San Jose to unite all the forces that can be united." Rise of Darkness is the heir to the will of the Magic Empire, and we all know what the Magic Empire did, and we must not allow history to repeat itself. ”

Kester looked at Lolita, a simple magician, about to take on such a great responsibility. "King Lucius, I'll go with Lolita. ”

King Lucius shook his head, "No, Kester, we have more important tasks to do!"

"What mission, related to the Desiks?" Kerster's heart moved, and he seemed to understand what King Lucius was trying to say.

And King Lucius laughed and said nothing.
