The early stage of the war was quite smooth, and the surprise attack of the Asta Empire received good results, starting from the first city, and constantly approaching the surrounding towns overnight, relying on the mobility of the griffin knights to absorb the surrounding towns at the same time.

In just two days, all the towns in the Arekas region were occupied by the northern army of the Asta Empire, with little resistance.

It seems that the Aturan Empire focused on the north, and the battle with Castile was not strong in the remaining soldiers...... Even when the wurm appeared, the whole town simply laid down its weapons.

The Duke of Erion originally wanted to establish contact with the Castilian Empire, but it was too difficult to span the entire territory of Aturan.

Since the beginning of the war, it has been difficult for local spies to send back news, and there is no way for magicians, Modra is already one of the strongest mages he has ever seen, just the day before, when Wang Chu saw the troops facing a well-defended town, Modra was the first to walk out of the team.

Ignoring the shouts of the soldiers behind him, a drop of fire magic flattened the town.

This kind of damage is estimated to be almost the same as the fall of his own stars, but he didn't expect that the magic ability of a person who has reached the level of a spell master will be raised to such a high level, and that magic attack also frightened everyone present.

Except for the warlock Mar, it felt like everyone else had a surprised expression.

Although the people of the imperial capital knew that the magicians were powerful, no matter what they asked, any magician would have a look of amazement when they heard this level, but it was very difficult to express it in words, just like Wang Chu destroying the millions of earth demons with one blow.

It is difficult for anyone who is not on the scene to imagine that kind of lethality, and the most direct manifestation of so-called power is destructive power.

But even with such a powerful magician, he didn't get in touch with Castile......

"I still can't contact them, it seems that the magic has been interrupted, and it should be the Aturan Empire that is causing trouble...... Or maybe I can't find a way to contact Castile. Modra said helplessly.

Magic teleportation requires a special kind of magic tool, that is, magic items, and several countries have different things to set up in order to distinguish them from each other.

This is the realm of arcane, Wang Chu only knows that it is like setting a password, if the ability of the rune cannot be connected to the two sides, it will not be able to transmit the message in a magical way.

In the past two days, a special team of six people has continued to follow the northern army into the territory of Aturan.

There were probably more than half a million soldiers gathered in the north of the Asta Empire, and because the battle line was long and there were many important city targets, the army divided into five routes and finally converged at Lalaye, the most important city in the region on the side of the Aturan Empire.

According to the mouth of Duke Erigon, the city of Lalaye is the largest city in the south of Aturan, and it is also a large city in terms of population and food, if it can be taken, then even if the Asta Empire stalemates the war for half a year, Aturan will not be able to withstand it.

"Captain Missuria, what kind of attack did the Castilian Empire encounter from Aturan, and why did it suddenly lose so badly, I heard that your country has a lot of high-skilled warriors, and the army is strong enough not to be slaughtered. Maar's cold voice asked the strong girl beside her.

Missouria also followed the team as a representative of the allies, and if she could reach Castile for information, she would undoubtedly be the best ambassador.

The warlock's voice has always been like this, and Missuria didn't feel displeased, maybe it was because he was in the army of another country, and he had to rely heavily on the Asta Empire for the rest of his life, so he dared not speak out.

Missoulia's purpose is very clear, their team of thousands of people risked their lives to cross the entire Aturan border in order to conclude an alliance contract, the goal is to jointly crusade against the Atulan Empire, and now that the Asta Empire has sent troops, she will always maintain this obedient role when the war does not reach irreparable.

"It hadn't happened when I accepted the mission because of the peculiarities of my team and I won't be directly involved in the battle...... However, I heard from the generals on the battlefield that there was a special group of troops in Atulan, all covered in black robes, and their combat effectiveness was very strong, which made the soldiers on the front line unable to resist at all. Misouria recalled.

The last time I heard the news about the front line was half a month ago, and now I can take down so many cities in two days to see that half a month is enough time for a lot of things to happen.

"Are the black-robed men magicians?" asked Mar as she continued, her voice looking like she was thinking.

Wang Chu stood on Lias's shoulder and also moved a little closer to the place where the two were talking, and he also wanted to hear what they had to say, after all, the other party was in the dark, and he needed to gather the news and opinions of many parties before he could have a finished idea.

"I don't know, maybe...... Aturan is the birthplace of all black magic, although it is not officially allowed, but the residents here use a lot of black magic in private, in many remote villages, people who are sick are not looking for holy light treatment but privately looking for black magicians, their magic can also have the ability to heal. Missuria was looking at a few people around her, especially the paladin Akara, probably to see how the Holy Light believers would react.

"I know that. Duke Erion interjected.

"Although our two countries have very little communication with each other because of the fact that the Aturan Empire is in the middle, we probably know their country better than their civilians about the Aturans. ”

The party was on their way to the city of Lalaie, and depending on the distance, they might have to camp on the way today, so there was plenty of time for everyone to discuss these matters.

He looked around, and the soldiers were all hurrying and not paying much attention.

"It is said that the Asta Empire has done a lot of work in Aturan over the years. Although Missuria didn't say it directly, she could hear that she was referring to the spy.

"Well, there must be quite a few in Castile. ”

Both of them smiled and did not continue to discuss this topic, the interests between countries are the most important, as long as the purpose is the same, an alliance can be formed, so there is no need to delve into the things, otherwise this alliance will not be able to continue.

"At this time, I'm going to tell you about Aturan. Duke Erigon's voice grew quieter, and several people gathered around.

"Although the Aturan Empire is one of the most popular among the human nations, its practices and folk customs have never been very popular with other countries. Remember the Midnight's Suns, three of them came from this country hundreds of years ago, and although they were eventually wiped out, the impact is still there, and many people still maintain that faith in their bones. ”

Wang Chu was also fascinated by the listening, it turned out that there were so many necromancers because of this.

"As a paladin, you don't know what the name Raleye means. Duke Erion looked at Akara to the side.

"Of course, the ancient capital of sin recorded in the canon story is also named after it...... The city of the old rulers of Laleye. ”

"Haha, that's just a story, but the story will have a origin, it is because of the evil black magic of Aturan that this place will be written as the capital of sin in the story, of course, in reality it is a rich city. Erreon laughed.

Looking at the sky, it was only past the afternoon, but everything on the march of so many people had to be planned early.

"I'm afraid we can't go any further, we need to find a place to camp...... The captured militia is still there, let them work!"
