January 14, 1941 January 7, 41 Britannia, the capital of Bura

A female magician who had practiced in Dalaran was visiting the castle where Apelios had lived for generations.

Apelios, the only native nobleman in Great Britainia, was able to stand under Celtic rule for hundreds of years, which shows that he still has some real skills.

The visitor is Leome Augusta, the princess of the former Kingdom of New Zealand. Not only is she a mage in Dalaran, but she also has another identity, the fiancée of the current king of Great Britania, Axis Dresse.

She hadn't been back to Dalaran since the Empire captured Newingland three years earlier. Instead, he entered the palace of Bolai as a mage advisor. Although she can use the identity of another "fiancée", she has always been obsessed with avenging her father* and recovering the Kingdom of New Zealand, but stubbornly insists on waiting until the revenge is avenged before marrying Axis.

Her long, blonde hair naturally fell over her shoulders, and she wore a tight hairpin at the ends, which was a birthday present from her father. The presence of hair clips makes the ends of those originally messy hair look quite neat.

The wand that symbolized his archmage in one hand, wearing a robe embroidered with a royal purple and gold dragon pattern, and a gray-white cloak on his head, hurriedly but gracefully walked through the corridors of the city.

"What do you say she's coming back for?"

Upon hearing the news of Leomena's visit, Apelios Abeli, who is also a member of the Holy Alliance, held his chin and smiled playfully, while turning his gaze to the Alliance's top adventurer of the Olivell, the Ranger Achino.

"Imagination is meaningless. ”

As a Ranger, Achino was assigned by the upper echelons of the Direct Alliance. Although she hated this task of protecting the nobility, she would comfort herself every time she got along with the proprietor, "If I was strong enough, I wouldn't take on this nasty task." ”

Therefore, because of his hatred, Achino will not mirror the so-called observation of his patron at all.

Although Achino can somewhat guess Leomina's intentions, because she is a little unkind to the new owner, she always ignores his questions.

Apelios didn't show any displeasure, but instead became happy because Achino had responded to his question this time. It was as if he knew that Achino would react like this.

Apelios just wanted to find a topic to get along with this cold beauty, so no matter what Achiino's reaction was, as long as he could respond to him with a word. He felt that was the beginning of success.

In fact, he didn't need to ask Achiino, he also understood why Leomina came.

The Mage Guild, in the interests of its own position and the safety of its members, has stated that its guild will not interfere in the Empire's "holy war". They felt that this was an internal contradiction of the human race, and that the Night Elves, who were the core of the guild, were not suitable to interfere in the affairs of the human race.

It's like dealing with other people's quarrels in their homes, and the neighbors basically choose to watch from the sidelines. It's just that the scale of the quarrel this time is a bit large.

As a mage, Leome is like losing the support of her own family, and she has no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Turn to the Alliance's help, even if it's to intervene in the event that the Dwarves stop exporting weapons to Britannia.

In particular, those "steam tanks" were the only weapons that would allow Britannia and the Empire to step on the same level. Once the dwarves stopped supplying weapons, Britannia really lost hope of victory.

However, the first strike of the Empire completely cut off Britannia's hopes. Thanks to the intervention of the alliance of miners who are friendly with the Empire, the dwarven craftsmen in Great Britain have begun to withdraw to the Blue Mountains or settle in other countries.

Now, the "steam tanks" that remained on the territory of Britannia have become disposable consumables in the true sense of the word. One bad one is one less.

This is also the most embarrassing place in Britannia right now, where the past few hundred years of sea plundering have made them aware of the importance of the sea. But at the same time, they stopped at the construction of the naval fleet.

Perhaps they think it's okay to make it impossible for hostile countries to land on their own soil.

In addition, the urgent messages of Caen and Cherbourg also forced the Britannians to think of other options. On the one hand, it is delaying the pursuit of peace talks, and on the other hand, it continues to seek help from all forces.

When people want to imagine in a good direction, things tend to go in a bad direction. Great Britainia's neighbor on the eastern side of the country, Starju, has been rumored to be invading since years ago.

Although that country was a small country, its borders were even worse than Newland's. However, in recent times, a large number of strong fortresses have not been built on the border between the two countries, and at the same time, soldiers and horses have been recruited and a large number of materials and grain and grass have been hoarded.

As soon as either Caen or Cherbourg were lost, the Stagiu attack on Britannia would become a reality. It's like taking the opportunity to stab a knife in a wounded giant, and the Empire can't afford to let go of such a good opportunity. When the time comes, they are trying to stop the Empire, and they will have no power to return to heaven.

Apelly sat on the main seat, greeting the diplomatic magicians of the palace.

"Long time no see......"

Although it was the New Year's meeting not long ago, they had met each other. But the words that came out of Apelly's mouth seemed so relaxed and natural. Then he was ready to praise Leomina's beauty, in short, as far as he could.

If Leomina had the time and patience, I guess Apelly would be able to her for days, without repeating it.

From Abeli's mouth, Leomena could sort out some of the meaning. However, she had to be cheeky and finish asking what she had to ask. Make it clear.

"You'd better omit your social words and let's get straight to the point!"

"Uhhh......h

Ahiino on the side couldn't help but start throwing the "health ball" wildly, and now she just wanted to say, "That's why I hate you goddamn politicians." ”

"Tell me! I wonder what the hell the alliance means. ”

Leomeina tried her best to calm down, even though she had already guessed the outcome.

Apelly cleared his throat, in fact, he wanted to drink a glass of water to hide his embarrassment. It's a pity that as long as Yaxi is by her side——, she is not as eye-catching as those witty maids.

"The coalition will work elsewhere to try to broker a truce between the two sides. But what kind of peace agreement you will establish, the alliance cannot interfere with. ”

"What did you say?"

Leome thought her ears were hallucinating.

Because she would never have imagined that it would be such an outcome. The Empire invaded their lands, only to demand that they come up with a peace agreement.
