Chapter 1167 ✧*. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*。 The first good news from Anne the Little Witch
A week later......
In the largest tent in the southeastern part of the Elasia continent, where more than a thousand soldiers were entrenched and the blue-bottomed and gold-edged griffin flags were hoisted high, in the largest tent, Queen Catherine was frowning, looking at the cowhide topographic map of the Kingdom of Erathia spread on the ground in the middle of the tent in a daze, on which there were many small people and houses carved out of wood, indicating the situation of the enemy and the enemy, as well as the situation of some major towns on the continent of Erathia.
At this time, the terrible and shocking marks of the enemy's posture on the top made her and the few generals around her who were also frowning extremely worried! Because, so far, through the investigation of the generals and scouts she sent out, and the various intelligence feedback from various channels, they have been able to roughly guess the current extent of the fall of the Kingdom of Erathia.
Even if there is still relatively little information to give back, even if they land on the Erathia continent, it will only be about twenty days, but she can easily see from the current information that the situation is really not optimistic! Today, there are basically no places on the land of the Kingdom of Erathia that belong to the human side, ruled by a lord and resisted by a certain formation, so on the map displayed in front of them, the towns and strongholds that are extremely important to Erathia are all marked with the mark of Negan or Orver, and what belongs to them Erathia is actually and only a small area of Calyard City where they landed......
In short, the situation was terrible, far worse than what she had guessed and estimated when she had landed in Erathia.
But no matter how bad the situation is, they always have to go on!
After all, since she has come to Erathia, and since she has chosen to reorganize the rivers and mountains, she must not watch the demons of Negan and Overh wreak havoc and slaughter and enslave her people in her homeland, nor can she bear to watch this land that gave birth to her and raised her sink, let alone let her father, King Griffin, die tragically, and then the huge kingdom will be occupied by the demons who are suspected of being behind the scenes, Negan and Over!!
And just as Queen Catherine and the generals were at a loss for what to do next and where to break through this passive situation, which was very unfavorable for Erathia, suddenly a guard strode in from outside the tent.
'Report! ’
'Queen! Outside, a griffon knight has arrived, claiming to be a messenger who has arrived overnight from the city of Calyad, and has come here to deliver good news to you!! ’
The guard said with some excitement.
Obviously, for those soldiers who fought in the land of Erathia, but ran into walls everywhere, the only thing they wanted to hear at the moment was the word 'good news'! So, after seeing the soldier who was able to ride such a ferocious griffon for some unknown reason, and hearing what the other party said, he hurried in to report.
"Griffin Knight? Good news? ”
"Huh!"
Catherine was stunned for a moment when she heard the word 'good news', but she quickly came to her senses and smiled, not too much of it.
"Let him in!"
"I'd like to see what else can surprise me in Cagliad?"
Presumably, a certain little guy does have some ability, she must have beaten away the Negan who came to attack, and then hurriedly sent someone to come to her to ask for merit, right?
She knew, that little guy's spell was indeed quite powerful, presumably those Negan's demons must have suffered a big loss at the hands of the other party, right? Of course, the other party's employment fee is also very high, and it almost didn't make her vomit blood! However, if when she returns to Cagliade in a month's time, the other party can still keep that important landing port for her, and keep the small town of Cagliad, perhaps, that money is not too unjust!
Soon, while Catherine was looking at the map in a daze and thinking, a soldier who looked a little excited, led by the guard just now, strode in.
"Say it!"
"What the hell is the good news, is the city of Calyad attacked, and then the enemy driven away by that little witch?"
When the other party had finished saluting, and without waiting for the other party to speak, Catherine teased, and asked the soldier in front of her, dressed in strange leather armor to protect from the cold and wind, carrying a bow and arrows, and with several small axes stuck in his leather bag behind him.
'Huh? ’
'No! No! ’
'Your Majesty! The city of Cagliad was not attacked, and no enemies were seen! ’
I don't know why the messenger in front of her, Queen Catherine, would suddenly ask such nonsensical words, and after hesitating and startling for a moment, she still answered honestly.
“??”
"So what's the good news? Could it be that she ran out alone to sweep or sneak attack the enemy's patrol? ”
Unexpectedly, it was not because of the attack on Cagliard City, which made Catherine, who didn't pay much attention to it, a little surprised.
'Report! ’
'Not either!!' ’
"Huh!"
"Forget it, then you can talk about it......"
Finally, Catherine let out a rare sigh and smiled bitterly, and then had to give up, not going to continue speculating.
'Report to the Queen! ’
'Lady Anne led her army to break through the city of Mihan the day before yesterday, killing more than 2,000 enemies, completely occupying the entire city and region, and is currently sweeping the area around the city of Mihan, waiting for an opportunity to march towards Prince and Tria! ’
As if fearing that the other people in the tent would not hear, the messenger read aloud and proudly what he knew, as far as he could, and at the same time took a roll of parchment from his bag, and then held it in both hands in an orderly manner, and handed it to Her Majesty, who seemed to have been struck by the news he had brought.
“!!”
"This can't be!!"
However, without waiting long for the messenger to rejoice, and before the other generals and nobles in the tent came to their senses, they all heard an exclamation from the queen.
"If I'm not mistaken, including the city of Calyad, we left her with less than two hundred soldiers, and most of them are old and weak, what will she do to capture the city of Mihan, which is occupied by Negan?!"
"Soldier, are you trying to lie to me?!"
Catherine's tone became stern, and she even began to wonder if the guy in front of her was Negan's spy or not. And, if she's not mistaken, their army or the kingdom of Erathia doesn't have the Griffin Knights!
Because the griffin itself is a grumpy and savage powerful creature, although it can be tamed, it can also be used as a mount, but ordinary soldiers can't tame that kind of creature, even if it is not much use to ride a griffin, and archery in the air, there is no guarantee of accuracy, as for bringing other things, let alone that, she knows what the weight of griffons is, they are not horses, they are not dragons, and even to take an adult man into the sky has to be talented.
'King, Queen! ’
'Specifically, you should read this good news for yourself......
Seeing the furious Queen Catherine, and then looking at the generals and guards around them who were faintly holding the hilt of their swords, the messenger dared to delay, and hurriedly handed over the magic sealed parchment in his hands once again.
“……”
"Humph!"
Queen Catherine snorted coldly and snatched the letter, and frowned as she looked at the magic seal on it, but in the end, she ripped it open and quickly began to read it.
“!!”
After just one glance, Catherine subconsciously knew that this letter was probably really written by that strange little girl witch, because it was so distinctive that ordinary people could not easily learn it even if they wanted to pretend to it.

Queen Catherine's Big Sister:
'Hi~! ’
(?????? ▽??????)
'How are you doing?' But whether you're good or not, they're doing well and having a good time...... By the way, you must not be killed by Negan's dungeon lords, because you still owe a lot of small money to others, a thousand gold coins a day, and they count the days with their little fingers! ’
s(*?? ︶?? *)ゞ
'Here's the thing......
^-^)o
"Since the day you left, people have been sweeping the area of Calyad City according to what you said, and then accidentally beat the city of Mihan, and now they are cleaning up this area, I believe that it will not be long before they can take down Prince and Tria City, how about it, aren't they super powerful?!" ’
(灬??) ω?? 灬)
Originally, people didn't want to run out and do so many things, because you don't have enough money at all! However, it's like this anyway, so people have to keep going! Speaking of which, the cause of the incident actually began with the very, very, very powerful diplomacy that persuaded a group of fleeing Elasia soldiers......
(*^▽^*)
Anne began to write at length, length to describe how she was 'domineering' (X off...... describes how she is wise and martial, and her mouth is like a river (fireball?? Threatened) to persuade hordes of routers, refugees, wizards, knights, gladiators, knights, and so on from the kingdom of Erathia to join her team.
Of course, there must be some other messy creatures among them......
Then, she swept all the way, captured many strongholds that originally belonged to the kingdom of Erathia, liberated and co-opted many people, discovered many new things, and looted to (X) ...... Lots and lots of treasures were dug up, and later he took advantage of the situation to conquer the city of Mihan.
This paragraph is very long and messy, and Queen Catherine frowns! However, it was these long and messy pages that made her roughly understand how the other party did all that magically.
'That's right! Someone rescued a guy named Knight Gil from a prison southwest of Mihan, and he said he knew you? But that annoying guy has been sent back to the city of Cagliard to guard the gates, and if you go back at this time, you will definitely be able to see him! ’
(???????? -)??
And oh! ’
They found out before, and they only asked after burning to death a lot of the hell cave people they caught...... It seems that in the area near Kaliad and Mihan, there is an entrance to the underground world, and there seems to be a dungeon of Negan in it, the name seems to be called Trenis? ’
く(^_??) ゝ?
"Anyway, if you have time in the next time, they will definitely go to the underground world to have a look and help you investigate!" ’
o(*?? ︶?? *)o
'That's it! ’
That's the way it is, people didn't want to write this letter, but those nasty guys, those who claim to be the nobles of Erathia, have been asking people to write it, so if you see it, remember to write back! ’
o(?? ^`)o
- XX day of the Golden Chimunk Week in XX year, Anne Hasta??
‘……’
'Your Majesty, what's the matter?' ’
'Queen Catherine? ’
'Your Majesty?!' ’
‘??? ’
Her Majesty, who saw them, stood there dumbfounded and silent after reading the somewhat long letter, and the curious and somewhat worried generals and guards next to her couldn't help but cast worried and inquiring glances at her.
“……”
"I already have a rough idea of what happened, he didn't lie, that little guy, she did defeat the city of Mihan!"
"It's just that the process is a bit complicated, specific, I'll talk to you about it later!"
Queen Catherine, who put away the parchment letter, not intending to let her generals and nobles see this letter in a strange and completely unceremonious format, looked at the messenger who was waiting a little anxiously after calming the generals and nobles who wanted to gather around:
"You!"
"Take him down for a bite to eat and a tent for him to rest, and then remember to ask the camp clerk to give him a reward of ten gold coins, and bring him to me after dawn to-morrow to get the letter!"
Catherine quickly rolled up the long parchment letter before she spoke directly to the guard, while the anxious messenger waited.
'Yes! Yes, sir!! ’
Looking at the queen's expression, and according to the other party's arrangement and reward for this messenger, how could the guard not know the authenticity of the good news from the city of Cagliad that the messenger had just said? So, with some excitement in reply, he hurriedly turned around and dragged the messenger out, intending to inquire about it again after he had gone out.
“……”
"Everyone!"
"Good news indeed!"
"Cagliade City, there is basically no danger around our back road...... Surprisingly, the little wizard we hired is now leading her 'army' to sweep around the city of Mikhan, and if all goes well, after we complete the tactical objectives of coming here, maybe Prince and the area of Tria City will be completely recovered by her. ”
‘!! ’
'What?! ’
'That can't be! ’
'Ridiculous!! ’
'I don't understand, Queen Catherine, that little witch, where did she come from?!!' ’
'This must be Negan or Overh's conspiracy!' ’
'Your Majesty! You don't really believe in something that would never happen, do you? ’
‘……’
Sure enough, just as Catherine had expected, no sooner had she said than the generals and nobles exclaimed, and just as she had reacted before, they couldn't believe the impossible.
After all, that sounded even more incredible than the rebellion she put down when she was still the princess of the Kingdom of Erathia and was only seventeen years old. Either way, Catherine knew that the messenger and the little girl had not deceived them! Besides, this matter can't be faked, she will definitely verify and confirm it through some channels.
