"My lord, here's a letter. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Maester Cordion handed the letter in his hand to Count Arassis in front of him.

Sunlight shone through the open window into the large study, and Count Aracis, sitting in a mahogany cushioned chair, laid down his ink-stained feather pen in his hand.

Count Arassis took the wax-sealed letterhead, which was signed as the city of Chanda, received by the Count of Aracis, and the address was from the city of Zhivadine, in the kingdom of Virginia.

He crushed the sealing wax, pulled out the letter inside, and read the letter:

Dear Count Aracis, as a messenger of the city of Chanda, I have arrived at the city of Zhivadine in the Kingdom of Virgia at the end of September, and met with the king of Virgia at the royal palace.

I present your letter to the King of Vegia in the Temple, but the King and the noble ministers are not convinced that the Legion of Darkness mentioned in your letter is about to return to the continent of Calradia.

As a messenger of Chanda, I originally wanted to fight for you in the palace, but unfortunately, I was rudely invited out of the palace by King Vegia.

In a few days, I will depart for the city of Dehrim, in the kingdom of Swadia. I hope that the Duke of Michod, as you say, will heed the contents and warnings of your letters.

Signature: Leader of the Iron Willed Mercenary Regiment, Alleyne.

When Count Arassis finished reading the letter, his face became a little gloomy and lost, and he handed the letter to the Lady of Cordion beside him to read it.

The gray-robed old man took the letter and began to read what was written on it. After reading the letter, Maester Cordion spoke slowly: "Your Excellency, you should expect such an outcome. ”

The Dark Legion has been lost to Calradia for hundreds of years, so much so that the Dark World has been forgotten and even dismissed as a story made up by bards.

Only the Zenda Lords of the past generations still believe that the Dark Legion will return to Calradia sooner or later, and have been sending warships to search the hopeless 'Sea of Whispers' for news about the Dark Legion.

Until the last message from Berners, who sailed on the Sea of Secret Words, with a carrier pigeon, and the recent appearance of the Dark Pilgrim, Count Arassis believed to be a harbinger of impending darkness.

"If the kings and princes of the other countries have the same attitude as the Kingdom of Vegia, I am afraid that by the moment when the Dark Legion actually descends on the continent of Calradia, it will already be too late. ”

"If the Dark Legion were to once again invade the continent of Calradia, their vast army would have to use the ports along the northern coast of the Nord Kingdom as entry points. ”

Count Araciss, with great concern, said, "I will now write a letter to the city of Sagos, and must warn the king of Ragnar to strengthen the defense of the port cities. ”

Maester Cordion threw a piece of letter on the desk in front of the Count, and the Count took a quill pen and wrote down the message and warning he wanted to convey to King Ragnar.

After sealing the letter with the wax seal, Count Arassis stamped with a pictorial seal symbolizing the lord of Chanda. He then ordered Bolton to send a detachment of free-knights to deliver the letter to the city of Sagoth at once.

As the sun went down, and the somewhat tired Lady Cordion left his study, Count Aracis dragged his tired body and still sat at his desk to deal with the tedious papers.

The number of soldiers recruited was half as bad as he had expected, and the peaceful life in the city of Chanda led the freedmen to have no idea of joining the city guard.

Recently, an enemy army of unknown origin has popped up around the territory of Chanda, and a hundred-man patrol of ten freelancers has been easily crushed by it.

Refugees from outside the city are gathering more and more, and these refugees from the border areas of the kingdoms of Vigia and Nord often break out in bloody group fights in the refugee camps.

He needed to figure out how to deal with these difficult matters as soon as possible, and the recent behavior of the slave traders had caused him a lot of trouble.

The night approached like a haze, and it became heavy, as if darkness was rising from all sides at the same time as the night, and even flowing down from the heights.

From time to time, a star broke free and swept across the sky, leaving a trail like fire. There is no moon in the sky, and the brilliant stars are like tinder sprinkled in the dark sky.

Many stars hung in the sky, like countless eyes. There was a star, which seemed to be covered with frost flowers on its side, and its body glowed with cold light, looking at the earth from the dark sky with an innocent and romantic look of surprise.

The tired Count of Arassis walked to the window, but was not in the mood to enjoy this unique view. He looked down at the crowd walking through the streets, and the soldiers patrolling the streets.

In his eyes, the night of Chanda City is still a prosperous scene with bright lights. But when he looked into the camp outside the city to the east, he saw a different scene.

The war between the Kingdom of Vegia and the Kingdom of Nord has been going on for two months, and the total number of troops on the front line of the border has reached 100,000.

The number of dead and wounded had also exceeded tens of thousands, and he had received information that the current situation of the battle was in a state of stalemate, and the Virgians temporarily had the advantage in numbers.

If the war between the two sides continues, I am afraid that these hundreds of thousands of elite troops will all be exhausted on the front line. This is also the last thing Count Arassis wants to see.

But Count Arassis could do nothing about it. He was nothing more than a Count of Chanda who was not recognized by the kings of the world, and what was his ability to stop the power struggle between the kings?

If the prophesied darkness is inevitable, he only hopes that the dark legion that heralds destruction will appear on the continent of Calradia as soon as possible.

Only then will it be possible for the kings and lords of Calradia to stop their power struggles and unite to take up their weapons against the invasion of the Dark Legion.

If Berners really discovered the so-called Dark Legion fleet in the Sea of Whispers, why has it been so long that there has been no news of the Dark Legion's warships in the North Sea?

Are the Dark Legions waiting for the perfect moment to attack, or are they not planning to land in Calradia from the North Sea?

The tall and sturdy Nords are undoubtedly the strongest people in the Calradian continent, far superior to other nations in terms of individual combat ability. Especially in defending the city, it shows their toughness.

If the Dark Legion wants to take the port cities of Sagoth, Tiha, and Wozze on the northern coast from the Nords, they will have to pay a heavy price for this.

Another port city on the northern coast, the city of Riwacheze, is also known as the 'Impenetrable Fortified City', and it may be equally difficult to take this well-defended city from the Virgian archers.

Count Arassis took a rolled-up map of the world from his bookcase, spread it out on his desk, and looked for the most likely entry point for the Dark Legion on that map.

The Dark Legion fleet can sail around the long North Sea all the way to the West Sea, and then land in Caladia from the plains of Svadia, so that they only have to face the Svadian knights.

Alternatively, the Dark Legion warships continued south along the Western Sea, then forcibly landed in the port of Aaron in the Duchy of Rhodok, and quickly engulfed the weakest military Duchy of Rhodok.

Eventually, he got another answer from the map. That's what he's in at the moment—the city of Chanda.
