"Your Majesty, ......?" Rui Xiu couldn't believe his ears, and his eyes widened.

Rui Xiu was wearing a blue robe, holding a lilac staff, standing in place in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while.

Caesar was still immersed in the memory, tears welling up like a fountain. This genius who has fallen into the stars and fallen continent is like a lost child at this moment, sobbing in a low voice, where is there still a trace of the majesty of being a king!

His body, which had been as strong as an ox, was now so thin that only skin and bones remained, and the wide skeleton could no longer support his ornate robes.

Caesar's face was withered, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken. His eyes were full of horror, his hands were shaking, and he made all kinds of strange movements.

Rui Xiu looked at the scene in front of him with a complicated face, and the blue-robed magician was extremely shocked by the scene in front of him.

"I should have thought of it......" Rui let out a long sigh,

The magician stooped down to pick up the Mithril paper, and two lines of tears slipped down his still young face.

The majestic figure that once galloped on the battlefield is now curled up in a ball. Caesar's former majesty is gone, like a twilight old man.

It didn't take long for Caesar to wake up from a dream and finally notice the presence of the blue-robed magician.

He was stunned for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Merlin, is that you?"

When Rui Xiu heard this, a nameless anger surged in his heart, and he thought desperately in his heart: "Merlin, I have dedicated all my efforts to this empire, and I still can't surpass you after all. ”

He desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart, couldn't bear to look at Caesar any more, only bowed deeply to the other party, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I already know ......" and then turned and withdrew.

Under the orders of Rui Xiu, the Confederate Legion began to withdraw from Blizzard at dawn the next day, along the flat avenue, in the direction of Grande.

There was no farewell ceremony, and there was no victory horn.

Blizzard City has since been reduced to ruins, as foreign invaders have looted the thousand-year-old city.

The nobles complained along the way, blaming Caesar for not taking advantage of the victory to conquer the mysterious territory of the Lonely Land.

The turning points of history are always full of drama, yet every turn is often a tragic end.

The central towns along the road opened their gates to welcome the return of the Southern Coalition. The aristocracy, however, began to wreak havoc on the land between the north and the south, with the unfinished fury of the war and the resentment of Caesar's inaction.

Because the Southern Union Army did not have Caesar's stop, it suddenly tore through the hypocrisy, and burned, killed, looted and did all kinds of evil along the way. Although the men of the headquarters who came out of Grande with Caesar hated such acts, they were too weak to witness the tragedy.

Caesar was terminally ill at this time, unaware of what was happening in the outside world. He was shrouded in the haze of death, and his mind kept recalling the scene with the three Brandon in the adventure land, and Diana's delicate and delicate face.

The first emperor of the Titan Empire, Caesar Austin, did not fall on a dangerous battlefield, but died like a defeated dog on the way back to Grande.

It is said that in the last moments before his death, he kept calling Diana's name from his mouth.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Rui Xiu did not announce the news of Caesar's death, but chose to temporarily conceal this shocking fact.

When the Coalition returned victorious, the people of the imperial capital greeted the warriors with enthusiasm, and ironically, Caesar's body lay quietly in the carriage.

It wasn't until the army had recuperated and most of the nobles had returned to their fiefdoms with their letters of appointment that Rui Xiu announced the bad news. The news of the emperor's death due to illness spread throughout the continent within a month.

——

The terrain in the middle of the Starfall Continent is complex, with towering mountains stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Not only that, but the climate in the central part of the country is also changing rapidly. It is not uncommon to see a magical scene of goose feathers and snow on one side of the mountain and sunny on the other side.

The Essit Empire ruled over this vast land, with a system of dividing the city-states into feuds.

The nobility of the empire was self-respecting and opposed all war-related decisions. The rulers of the Essit Empire were weak in character and did not make much progress in governing the country.

After decades of purge, this vast empire gradually formed a conservative and closed social atmosphere under the influence of anti-war ideas.

On the contrary, the upper class admired extravagance and ostentatiousness, squandering the taxes paid by various places, making the already insufficient treasury even more empty.

The local nobles and lords are self-contained, just managing their own small territories, ignoring the turmoil in the outside world.

In contrast to the fanatical worship of war among the northern peoples, the people of the Essit Empire avoided war, because the harsh living conditions in the central part alone were enough for them.

Because of this reason, in recent years, there have been very few strong people born in the Essit Empire, and the strong people who joined the imperial camp from the north and south after the original unification war have also passed away one after another.

Just five years ago, however, the young Shiloh had just taken over as prime minister, and in his eagerness to establish his prestige, he set his sights on his declining neighbor.

He proposed to the king to expand abroad, and the young emperor was naturally very supportive of his young and vigorous youth. At the same time, this decision was also approved by more than half of the votes of the Military Aircraft Department.

In the autumn of 548 in the Landau calendar, the Titan Empire sent 100,000 southern elites, prepared enough ordnance, grain and grass, and officially declared war on the Essit Empire.

However, to his surprise, the army had barely crossed the cordon when it was met with a fierce counterattack by the Esit soldiers.

The outcome of the war was far from what Hiloh had envisioned, with the two sides evenly matched and a stalemate on the border between the two countries.

When he regretted that he wanted to withdraw his troops, the Essit military did not do it. In order to avenge the trauma inflicted on this land by the Southern Union many years ago, the Essit Empire is determined to fight the Titan Empire to the death.

As a result, the two armies established a front on both sides of the Ganges River that lasted more than ten miles, forming a long-term confrontation situation.

This war, which was started on the spur of the moment by Shiloh, has continued to this day.

——

It was midnight, and the cold moonlight was slanting down.

Owen was cautiously navigating the interior of the enemy camp, using the shadows of the fire to hide his figure.

Not far away, the voice of a soldier could be heard.

"Hey, Bavi, I heard that the Titan Empire's bunch of rubbish have been thinking of retreating lately. A soldier on the night watch shouted to his companion not far away.

"Haha, thanks to the general's wise decision, we Essit can recover the decline in one fell swoop!"

"Anyway, since the general was transferred to the front line, we haven't lost a single battle!" The soldier next to him said excitedly with a look of admiration.

"Look, the general is here, hurry up and stand still!"
