Chapter 626: Rear
More than half a month has passed since the day the Holy Griffin Empire issued the war warning, and the legions of the countries on the continent have also arrived at the border one after another, but there has been no news from the Dawning Fortress, which makes the high-level leaders of all countries can't help but be a little anxious.
This war is related to the fate and future of the entire human race, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, once the orcs break through the blockade and enter the hinterland, then the entire continent will usher in a catastrophe, which almost every country knows very well, so whether it is reinforcements or resources, they do not hesitate to send to the Dawn Fortress.
As the country where the Fortress of Dawn is located, His Majesty Emperor Rudolph of the Holy Griffin Empire is aware, and everything that happens in the Fortress of Dawn is sent to the palace by the royal mage in the form of magic transmission, so it can be said that what happened in the Fortress of Dawn, what Prince Gratham knows, His Majesty the Emperor knows.
Including Leo's group of dragons defeating the eaglemen, Dick Gus's dereliction of duty causing heavy losses to the Silver Legion, and Leo's Eight Banners Legion being wiped out, all of which reached the Emperor's table in a very short time. As the first heir to the empire, Crown Prince Rishi also learned about these things from His Majesty the Emperor, and when he learned that Leo's command had suffered heavy losses, Rishi secretly put down a big stone in his heart.
To say that Rishi's biggest concern is Leo's growing strength, almost every time he hears the name Leo, his strength is growing rapidly. When I first met Leo, he was a minor duke who wanted to compromise with the Church of Light, and when I heard about it again, he had already defeated the Church of Light and even killed the main legion of the Paris Empire. When rushing to the aid of the Dawning Fortress, whether it was the Flying Dragons or the Eight Banners Legion, they all showed extremely high combat effectiveness, but fortunately, these have been killed by the orcs, and I believe that Leo must have lost his strength.
Without those formidable legions, Leo would not have had the slightest say in the Holy Griffon Empire, and would not pose any threat to Rishi's succession. But before Rishi could rejoice, the news of the new magic message sent from the Fortress of Dawn shocked Rishi like a bolt from the blue.
Leo didn't know when he had gathered a full 40,000 elite heavy legions, and he was on par with the combination of apes and shamans of the Orc Empire, or even had a slight advantage. To be honest, for this news, let alone Crown Prince Rishi, even His Majesty Emperor Rudolf did not believe it.
How could Pritz be a little bigger, how could it be possible to muster 40,000 men, and could those Spartan soldiers appear out of thin air? His Majesty Rudolph and Crown Prince Rishi did not know, and their speculation was the closest to the truth.
The thrill of the orc siege slowly appeared in front of the emperor and the crown prince like a live text as the royal mages continued to send magic messages regardless of attrition. Whether it is the blessing of the divine power of both sides or the shamanic war song, whether it is a Spartan warrior or an ape warrior, the thrilling battle makes the father and son in the palace tremble to watch.
The real horror was still to come, a meteorite falling from the sky, a meteorite magic that almost surpassed the limits of human magic, making the palace hall silent, except for the sound of father and son constantly gasping for cold air.
Immediately after that, the good news of the destruction of the orc camp and the burning of military rations came, and Emperor Rudolph had a satisfied smile on his face, he knew that the war was over and that victory for humanity was in sight. But he didn't notice that the face of Crown Prince Rishi behind him was cloudy, on the one hand, he was glad that the war was over out of human justice, and on the other hand, he was jealous that Leo could have such a powerful power.
The existence of a forbidden spell mage is strategic, just like a nuclear deterrent between the great powers on Earth, although it is not easy to use, but it makes the opponent dare not act rashly. Although he was not familiar with the magic system, Crown Prince Rishi could vaguely judge that after Leo had this forbidden spell mage, he would be fully qualified to establish his own kingdom and even empire.
The news was not good or bad, and Rishi didn't know how ambitious Leo really was, whether he would compete with him for the inheritance of the Holy Griffin Empire or create a new kingdom for himself. If it's the former, then Rishi must prepare in advance so as not to be caught off guard by Leo. But if it's the latter...... Rishi shook his head secretly, I'm afraid that few people will start from scratch on their own, and it is obvious that accepting a mature old empire is the most labor-saving way.
"Leo!" Rishi whispered the name in his mind, turning him into his most threatening opponent. In the imperial family, especially when it comes to the struggle for imperial power, Rishi knows what he should do without being taught.
When the magic messages came one after another, and when it was learned that Leo had a cavalry army that was even more powerful than the Holy Griffin Empire, even His Majesty Rudolph, who had always been calm, couldn't help but stand up with a look of surprise on his face.
This Leo is so mysterious that His Majesty Emperor Rudolph doesn't know whether he should consider changing the crown prince. After all, the position of the crown prince is related to the future of the entire empire, and it must not be hasty. Leo will have the support of mysterious forces, and it is difficult to guarantee that they are not plotting the inheritance of the Holy Griffin Empire, so His Majesty the Emperor must consider it carefully.
Under the light of Leo, the orcs bypassed the Dawn Fortress and ignored the two fathers and sons, and it was not until the magic transmission that later woke up the contemplative father and son.
"The cunning orcs actually want to bypass the fortress, then this is troublesome, once they break through the northern cities, then the hinterland of our empire will become the back garden of the orcs as if it were undefended. Rishi exclaimed, deliberately reminding His Majesty Emperor Rudolph of the importance of this matter.
"What's the panic? With Prince Grantham on the front line, there shouldn't be any problems, reinforcements from various countries are also rushing to the border, and the orcs have lost food, so they can't make much waves. His Majesty Emperor Rudolph gently taught Crown Prince Richy a few words, he wanted to mention that the situation on the battlefield of Richy had already been reversed, but unfortunately Richy had already preconceived doubts about whether Emperor Rudolph was dissatisfied with him.
"I must not allow Leo to behave so brazenly any longer, it will threaten me!" said Crown Prince Rishi.
