The streets and alleys of Rien City, which used to be bustling and bustling, have long since disappeared from the cries and bargains, and the bustling crowds have disappeared, and the caravans flowing back and forth have disappeared, as if in just a few days, this one of the most important commercial towns in the Varu Empire has become a ghost town.

The warm breeze of spring blew by, but it could not shake away the gloom in the heart of Archduke Wilhelm. A few days ago, he was still proud of taking advantage of the internal strife in the empire to easily take the city of Rien, and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the ambition of overthrowing the empire. But the reality gave him a heavy blow, and his trusted ally actually stabbed himself at a critical moment, no, not just a stab, it was simply his own life, and the entire three southern provinces fell in just a few days.

Whether it is a heavily guarded military fortress or a densely populated large city, the magician regiment of the Kingdom of Lorraine is simply invincible, and in the face of the earth-destroying magical power, the courage of the soldiers is like ice and snow under the scorching sun, and it melts and disintegrates in an instant. The magician regiment can be said to be invincible, from the border to the entire three southern provinces, several cities in a day, if it were not for the hindrance of the speed of the march, I am afraid that the three southern provinces may not be able to survive even these few days.

Thinking of the magician regiment of the Kingdom of Lorraine, Archduke William's hand shook violently involuntarily. In the battle to defend Oz City, the devastating magic attack of the Wizard Regiment left a huge shadow in William's heart, so big that William didn't want to or even dare to remember it.

Having been mentored by the side of the old Archduke Wagner since childhood, Archduke William, who joined the military career as a teenager, commanded the appointees and talents, even against the ace magicians of the Upper Lorraine Kingdom, Archduke William thought that he was enough to give the other party a blow with several times the elite troops of the magician regiment.

Therefore, Archduke William relied on the high walls and deep trenches of Oz City, and wanted to fight with the magicians in a dignified manner, so that the Kingdom of Lorraine knew that he knew how powerful he was. But...... Archduke William gently stroked his swollen forehead, and he really didn't dare to think about that tragic scene anymore.

In the eyes of Archduke William, tens of thousands of elite soldiers comparable to the four major armies of the empire were killed and wounded in that battle, and if it weren't for the adjutant and Kenny dragging him away, I am afraid that he would have died under the bombardment of magic.

The strong army that had been built up after more than ten years of accumulated wealth in the southern provinces, and wanted to use it to sweep away the empire's powerful army, fell into the enemy's flying flames, boulders, and ice arrows, and the Wagner family's father and son for more than ten years of hard work were all gone, and finally they could only gather the remnants of the defeated army and retreat to the city of Rien, giving up the entire south to the Kingdom of Lorraine.

Archduke William's hands clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white and bruised, and his teeth rattled.

"Lorraine Kingdom, I am inseparable from you in this life!"

With a low roar in his throat, two lines of painful tears flowed from the eyes of Archduke William, grief! humiliation! Unwillingness! But it was useless, now Archduke William has only a few more than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals, barely able to subdue those powerful people in Lane City, it may be possible to survive, but it is more difficult to regroup than to ascend to the sky.

If it weren't for the fact that the Magician Regiment did not continue to pursue and kill William, I am afraid that even this Lien City, William may not be able to keep it. As for why the Wizard Regiment stopped in the southern provinces and did not continue to march, in William's opinion, it was not that they deliberately let William go out of their minds, but because the Kingdom of Lorraine itself is a small kingdom, and the three southern provinces annexed in the past few days alone are enough for the Kingdom of Lorraine to digest for a few years, and there is still an excuse to attack the southern rebels, but if the Kingdom of Lorraine really crosses the south, I am afraid that it will immediately touch the nerves of the Waru Empire.

Even if the Varu Empire is declining, but after all, there are still three points in the rotten ship, once the Varu Empire really has to make up its mind to be the enemy of the Lorraine Kingdom, even if the magician group is strong, it will not be able to fight an empire in politics, diplomacy, logistics, etc.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Kingdom of Lorraine is now swallowing the three southern provinces of the Waru Empire in a very measured manner and trying to digest these territories, but in fact, King Fairman of the Kingdom of Lorraine is suffering words.

Just when the mages invaded the southern part of the Varu Empire and conquered the city, there were extremely serious problems within the Kingdom of Lorraine. I don't know where the bandits came from appeared in various parts of the kingdom of Lorraine one after another, these bandits came and went like the wind and were strong, at first they just plundered the merchants, and then they began to harass the villages, and then they became more and more bold, and they dared to get together and openly break a kingdom's resource reserves, killing all the guards there, and all kinds of ordnance, food and grass and magic materials stored in it were all cleaned.

At this moment, it really touched the interests of the Mage Guild of the Kingdom of Lorraine, and cutting off the magic test materials of the mages was equivalent to directly slapping the mages in the face, and the mages asked the kingdom to send troops to clean up the bandits and recapture the robbed magic materials. In fact, without the words of the magicians, King Fairman would not allow one or more daring bandits to exist in his own land.

However, the timing of the appearance of these bandits is very good, it is when the magician group invades the three southern provinces of the Varu Empire, and the internal strength of the Lorraine Kingdom is empty, with a small country in the Lorraine Kingdom, it is already exhausting its national strength to be able to make up a magician regiment, and the rest of the army is not enough to defend the cities in various places, where is there still the spare strength to clear out those bandits with extraordinary strength and boldness?

Therefore, King Fairman could only order the magician group to stop after occupying the three provinces, trying not to irritate the nerves of the Varu Empire, and at the same time leaving a weak force in the three provinces to maintain the rule, the main force of the magician group quietly returned to the kingdom of Lorraine, wanting to eliminate the bandits wandering around in one fell swoop.

At this extremely delicate time, under the new imperial power, Count Leo, who had been promoted two levels in a row, was officially appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army of the Empire, commanding the Grizzly Legion and the defenders in the south, and taking on the important task of eliminating the southern rebels and facing the magician regiment of the Kingdom of Lorraine to recover the three southern provinces of the empire.

None of the nobles up and down the Varu Empire were optimistic about Leo's trip, a hairy boy under the age of twenty, a waste who was expelled from the Academy of Magic, a person who was made an earl by virtue of his personal relationship with the new emperor, how could a person who had never had experience in commanding troops defeat the southern rebels, let alone fight back against the Lorraine Kingdom of the magicians to regain lost territory.
