The war in the fourth year of the new calendar was undoubtedly a catastrophe for the people of the Northland, but it could also be an opportunity from the standpoint of the Empire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As far as Downer knew, almost all great empires that were uplifting were born in war, especially those in which the weak defeated the strong and the invigorating ones.

Troubles are coming, even if the dwarves can keep the Knight Continent out of the northfall, the Hulse will only regard themselves as protected weaklings, and only by completely changing this weak mentality can they build a powerful empire that stands on the top of Middle-earth.

And the cohesion brought about by the miraculous results is bound to break through all the obstacles that stand in the way of the rise of this empire.

Donner is sure that Alex has seen through this, so his attitude will change abruptly, and he will almost put all the money of the Medici family on this emerging empire.

Now, all the finishing touches on this war are in full swing, and only the last big show remains. If he had a choice, Donner would have preferred the show to take place just outside the city of Coenas. And not like the exhilarating extermination battle that took place outside Cliff in the war report, which was almost unwitnessed.

......

On the morning of April 29, Wesley was lying in a tent on the west bank of the Aiva River, snoring like thunder. A flying insect crept into a crack in the tent, buzzing in his ear. Wesley slapped himself in the face, leaving a puddle of blood, rolled over again, and went back to sleep as if nothing had happened.

There was a stake cut from nowhere under his fat head, and all the bark lines were printed on the left side of his face, but he didn't care. This style of lying down wherever he fell was what Wesley was best suited to, even though he always talked about his title of nobility.

"Lord Earl...... Lord Earl ...... "Someone is shouting outside the tent.

Wesley sat up at once and exclaimed, "The enemy has crossed the river again?"

"No...... Some say they saw the enemy retreat, but their camp is still there...... Would you like to come out and take a look?" it was a faculty member at Stena School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who had just heard his voice, and a few days ago he had appointed the seemingly savvy and capable professor of magic as a staff officer for operations in the Sector.

"I'll take a look!" Wesley tore open the curtain of his tent and stepped out, these days the enemy army has been making surprise crossings at night, and he has never taken off his dirty new aristocratic robes.

At this time, on the west bank of the Ava River, more than 60,000 magicians from all over the western part of the Faemon and six knights of the Thorn Empire had gathered, totaling 120,000 people, far more powerful than the scene when the two countries fought more than 20 years ago.

Wesley made his way through the stinking camp of countless tents, large and small, huddled together, to the banks of the Ava River, where Clay and Sarah were already standing.

Nearly a kilometre across the river, the enemy camp was still there, but it was surprisingly quiet.

"It seems that there is really no one...... "Ke Lei pointed to the other side, "at this time a few days ago, they were already cooking on a fire." ”

"Why didn't the Night's Watch find out last night?" Wesley pouted, "Why don't you send someone over and take a look?"

"Could it be a trick to lure the enemy?" asked Ke Lei, frowning.

"Makes sense!" Wesley nodded frequently: "They saw that they couldn't cross the river, and they deliberately led us over, which is really vicious! Fortunately, you found out early!"

"What if they can't force it and simply turn around and attack Coenas?" asked Sarah.

“...... There is also this possibility. Wesley was puzzled: "It's all possible, it's hard to get it." It seems that we still have to send someone to investigate. ”

"Holding the west bank and repelling the enemy east of the Aeva River is our number one priority. Sarah shook her head and said, "Besides, if they do go to Coennas, at the speed of the knight legion, our army may not be able to catch up." ”

Corey nodded and added, "That's right, even if we catch up, without a natural barrier like the Ava River, we may not even be able to stop the enemy's first formation charge." ”

"Yes too......" Wesley shrugged, and he agreed with the two female knights, but for some reason, he was always a little uneasy.

......

On the morning of April 30, a large army of dwarves from Twilight crossed the border of the Thorn Empire and entered the western part of the Faemon Empire, at least three days from the west bank of the Ava River.

In the evening, the Dwarven army of Cliff City, along with a formation of mechanized magicians led by Sam, crossed the Ovie Valley and entered the province of Santan.

On May 1, Lisa and some of her white-robed mages arrived in Coennas, ready to fulfill the last of their three promises

On this day, the hot air balloon formation of the border defense station after receiving the support of the magic crystal of Cliff City has been scattered over the three northern provinces and the northern part of the Silver Bird Federation, and the battle report is transmitted back to the border guard post through the network of sound transmission circles on the hot air balloon, and then transmitted to Auston Palace through the Elli command center, and finally converged in front of the Donner case.

Except for the entrance to Fog City that was shrouded in fog and could not be discovered, the entire three northern provinces did not find the knight army anywhere else, and the remnants of the knights who fled in the north of the Silver Finchflower Federation were also chased and killed by the white-robed mage left there by Lisa, and there was nowhere to hide.

The white-headed crow that flew from Thorn City brought news that the dwarves of Dusk Cloud City had sent troops. The Empire of Thorns has pledged to do everything in its power to provide logistical support for this mighty dwarven army.

All signs indicate that in the 4th year of the new calendar, all the hidden dangers of the Hulse defense battle have been extinguished in the past half month.

At this moment, no one knows that the real variable of the war has just landed in the port of Neum in the south of the Silver Finch, just a few days ago.

......

On the morning of May 2, there were no clouds over Coenas, except for a lone hot air balloon.

Donna stood on the tower of the west gate of the city wall, surrounded by Lisa and the three gods, and the queue on the city wall changed from the royal knights a day ago to more than a hundred white-robed mages of the Chiga Mountains and more than three hundred priests wearing the white robes of the Holy Cross.

On the streets within the city walls are the royal knights, which are neatly arrayed.

A few hundred meters away from Donner's Simon Tower, on a slightly lower tower, stood Empress Lucia, Layla, known to the citizens of Coennas as the Eagle Mage, and Una.

Lucia appeared on the city walls to set an example for the Empress. Layla was originally the strongest magician in the city other than Donner, Lisa, and Miko, and deserved to be involved in this final battle. Una was also uncharacteristically and stubbornly followed.

An hour ago, at the beginning of the morning light, in the sound transmission room in the Alston Palace, a reconnaissance information from a hot air balloon over the imperial capital was received: more than forty kilometers west of Coenas, a knight army was found, numbering tens of thousands of people.

Since then, there have been traces of knight scouts outside the city.
