On the balcony of the main fort in Wolfynburg.

Israndel handed the elven cutlass to Wendy, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" I'm a little uneasy......"

Wendy took the elven scimitar and owed to Islandil: "I will hand over your troops to Risardiran, he is your nephew, and there will be no problem with him leading your troops." ”

"I'm not talking about the troops, of course I'm relieved that the troops are under the command of His Majesty Li Ang, I'm just not very relieved about my safety......"

Israndel looked in the direction of the tavern in the city, "You asked me to promise Ardalian a duel, but I'm really no match for him one-on-one......"

It was a tavern called 'The Brave' on the main road of the city, and Aldarian was in the tavern - the 'feast' in the castle was not happy, and Ardalian naturally did not stay at Israndil's residence, and he was persuaded by Risardiran to go to the tavern.

"Don't worry, Risadilan will definitely get Ardalian to agree to go to the Araclay Arena for a public martial arts. Vendatier is recognized as the 'Queen of the Arena', and if it were a fair duel in the Arena, neither you nor Aldalian would be her opponent combined, so neither you nor Aldalian would be the winners, and in the end, Vendatier would have to decide on herself...... Besides, you're not really going to pursue Vendatil-sense......"

Wendy looked at Israndil with a grin, "However, if you really have this in mind, I will help you too......"

"Don't, don't...... I still want to live a few more years, in case I accidentally her off and she kicks her into a tree......"

Israndir shuddered involuntarily, probably remembering some violent scenes: "However, His Majesty Leon's military order has just been transmitted, all troops must go to Pavron to join His Majesty, my troops will obey the wielder of the Elven Scimitar, but how do you control the troops of Ardarian?" ”

"Vendatier-sensei will take Ardalian with him. Although I, the queen of the Noldor, have little qualifications and lack of charisma, it should be okay to temporarily command his subordinates while he is away...... Thank you for your help, Your Highness Israndil. ”

Wendy gestured at the elven scimitar in her hand, which was the heirloom of the Aino family and a token used to command the warriors of the Aino family.

"Don't call me Your Highness, I am now your lord, Your Majesty."

Isranduil shook his head, "Ardarian's forces are as stubborn as he is, and I think you may need his Closing Bow." ”

The Curtain Bow has the same symbolism as the Elven Scimitar, and is not only an enchanted bow with great performance, but also a tool that can be used to mobilize Ardarian's troops.

Wendy nodded: "I understand, I'll get the end bow......"

……

In the tavern.

Risardillan is 'borrowing wine to drown his sorrows' with Ardarian.

Originally, Risadilan had only come to summon him on the orders of Leon, and it was only a coincidence that he was able to meet him, and it was not in Wendy's pre-consideration.

But this cameo cameo trick appeared at this time, which just played a big role.

The performance at the banquet was a success, and Ardaryan provoked a duel directly at the banquet, and Israndir immediately agreed.

If it weren't for the fact that Rissadillan happened to be present, Ardalian would probably have fought on the spot in the hall of the lord of Wolfinburg......

While Vendatier shouldn't be a big deal with it, this kind of personal fight may end up in the end - Ardarian is emotionally unstable, and in the event of casualties, it could turn into a confrontation between the two Noldor tribes.

Wendy's original idea was to use Vendatier to create a conflict between Ardarian and Israndil, preferably to cause a duel, which would bring certain hidden dangers, but at least for the time being, it could bankrupt Ardarian's plan to attack Edrich City.

Ardalian has his own selfishness, but that selfishness comes from his desire to benefit the entire Noldor community.

He won't blatantly confront Leon and Wendy's orders, and he won't be bad for the Noldor race, he just wants the war between humans to continue.

As long as he can break his current plans and turn against a lord like Israndil, he will not be able to pull up any other tricks in the course of this war.

- If Ardalian provoked a duel with Islandil and then left with his troops without permission, it would be tantamount to 'infighting caused by a war of wills', which would be a disregard for the safety of the entire race.

Aldarion's men are all adult Noldor, and they have brains and thinks, and such people are worth following.

Therefore, as long as Aldarian has not completely gone crazy, he will give up his intention to do things at this time, and instead honestly follow Leon and Wendy's orders.

This is Wendy's use of human nature, but she is really inexperienced and not very skillful in using it - how to solve the hidden dangers caused by this, Wendy actually didn't think about it at all.

Because Wendy thinks that as long as the current trouble can be solved, everything will naturally be solved after meeting Leon......

This underage girl's thinking has always been more adventurous.

But Wendy was lucky that she didn't have to deal with too many after-effects – Risadilan came to Wolfwin at this time to give orders.

Hearing that Israndil had set up a feast, Risardylan was of course going to come to eat, so he caught up with the play and played the most important role in it.

Now Risadilan is the lord of Ameraburg, and in terms of status, he is equal to Ardalian and Israndil, and he can just be a peacemaker.

Risadillan dissuaded Aldalian at the dinner table in time, and the dinner in the Lord's Hall of Wolfyn barely kept the atmosphere peaceful—at least not on the spot.

Ardalian was kind to Risadillan, who happened to share the same fate as him......

Risardiran had accidentally killed Israndil's nephew in a private duel, and the reason for that duel was that two young men had fallen in love with the same Noldor girl.

And it was a complete tragedy - although Risadilan won the duel, she did not win the heart of the Noldor maiden, and was banished for violating the law of private fighting, which led to the death of her people.

The girl had little affection for a criminal like Rissadillan, and had married someone else during the time of her exile......

At the same time, Ardalian took away his followers to set up a separate tribe, which can also be considered a kind of self-exile.

So he was with Lisa Dilan at this time to 'borrow wine to drown his sorrows', after all, it is rare to meet a 'confidant' who shares the same fate in life.

Of course, this 'confidant' was temporarily instructed by director Wendy......

"It's not advisable to duel privately, Ardaryan-senpai. Vendatil is a law-abiding person, and she can't possibly fall in love with you because of a private duel...... If you look at my experience, you will probably get nothing, and you will offend Islandil in vain, and even cause the two clans to oppose each other, which is not worth it......"

Right now, Risa Dilan is using her own experience to 'enlighten' Ardarian.

"Hmph...... So what do you think I should do? Do you want me to act like nothing...... Belch...... Didn't it happen? ”

Aldarian was already half-drunk, and he couldn't speak a little bit.

"Of course not! I support the duel you initiated! But you should go to the arena of Aylaclay to formally compete with His Highness Israndil - that is the most acceptable form of dueling for the people, and that will not lead to a personal feud between the two clans, and the two clans will not have any trouble with it...... By the way, Vendatil said that she would only like people who can beat her in fair play......"

Risadilan thoughtfully filled the cup for Ardarian.

"I've heard of that, too...... But isn't that an excuse for her rejection of suitors? ”

Ardalian took the cup and poured it up.

"Whether it's an excuse or not, it's always an opportunity, right? Aldalian-senpai, you haven't been to the arena in three hundred years, have you? Of course, you are the leader of a clan with a lot of responsibility, and it is really not appropriate to compete with the juniors in the arena as you...... But this duel, you can just work with His Royal Highness Israndil to let juniors like us see the demeanor of the strongest Twilight Knight in three hundred years, and also make Vendatil Teacher have nothing to say......"

Risa Dilan filled Ardalian's cup with wine again.

"But ......"

Aldalian seemed to hesitate, trying to say something but not saying it.

But Risardiran quickly took over: "And you can't get into too much trouble with His Highness Israndir now, the arena competition is just a step that can satisfy everyone, otherwise any move that you make that is inconsistent with His Highness Israndil, it will be considered an attempt to divide the Duchy of Noldor...... Think about it......"

Ardalian sighed and took his glass to drink again......

Two hours later, Risa Dilan, who often hangs out in the human tavern, relied on his rich experience in drinking alcohol to successfully put Aldaryan, who usually doesn't drink at all, on the wine table......

The next day, Ardarian's bow of the end appeared in Wendy's hand, and Israndil's elven scimitar hung from Risadilan's waist.

A drunken Ardalian was taken by Vendatier and Israndir in the early hours of the morning, and they returned to Eraclay together.

The two lords took only their respective guards with them, and the bulk of the army remained in Wolfyn.

Risadilan was authorized by Israndil to temporarily take charge of the Aino family's forces.

And Ardarian's troops, in the absence of their own lord, also temporarily obeyed Queen Wendy's arrangement to go to Pavron.

Of course, if you can obey temporarily, you can always obey, and Wendy has long understood this - Leon has used the method of 'temporary command' from the beginning to make the Noldor rangers get into the habit of fighting under his battle flag, and Wendy can naturally learn to do the same.

Two Noldor tribes, two generations of military power, just appeared after a seemingly ridiculous little trick.

……

A few days later, Leon waited for the large forces of the Duchy of Noldor in Pavron.

Wendy and Risardillan brought a total of 1,800 Noldor warriors, and together with Leon's guards, they formed a 2,000-strong Noldor army.

Together with the Silver Hand and the Free Corps, the Eastern Front, with a total of more than 4,000 troops, began to move south.

The reason why it is said that this is the troops of the Eastern Front, because there is still a unit on the Western Front.

This force is led by Leofric and Dalion, the two inheritors of the Griffin Knights and the two human lords that Leon has the most comfortable with.

Leofric had already set out from Fort Castel Cullen a few days earlier, heading west, south of the Seven Forks Fortress, into Fort Sava – nominally to 'conquer' Fort Sava and 'stop' Creon's forces from attacking the Lion Realm, nominally of course.

But of course, Creon didn't attack the Lion Realm, and the large forces on the Western Front didn't really go to fight Fort Sava River, Leofrick just wanted to create an atmosphere of a big war with the Bacchus Empire.

If you want to make this war seem to be white-hot, and it seems that the Bacchus Empire is really losing one after another, then all the snake worshippers in Bacchus will definitely appear - if the snake worship provokes a war between the two countries, then it will definitely send people to 'join' the two countries in various capacities, so that the confrontation between the two countries will not stop.

Sure enough, as soon as Leofric's troops 'conquered' the Sava Fort from Creon, an 'rebel army' approached the door, saying that it could lead him directly to Siyuan City......

Leofric, of course, accepted this so-called 'rebel army', and then handed it over to Dalion to immediately lead the army into the army—didn't he want to rush to Siyuan City? Dalion directly brought the 'rebel army' to fight Siyuan City......

Then, General Creon appeared halfway through, and after a conspiring 'surprise attack', General Creon won a complete victory, and Darrion 'barely escaped' with the Griffin Knights......

Later, another 'rebel army' approached General Creon - and Creon began to 'counterattack' the Sava Fort, and Leofrick held the city, this time Darion launched a surprise attack......

- Anyway, surprise attacks are always aimed at the 'rebel army' with a poor level of training, and the regular armies of the two countries can always 'barely escape'......

The Western Front went smoothly, and in seven or eight days, under the tacit understanding between the two sides, 3,000 snake worshippers, that is, the 'rebel army', were left behind.

General Creon entered Siyuan City with the Third Army of the Bacchus Empire to prevent the enemy from infiltrating the interior.

And then there were no more enemies on the Western Front.

On August 28, 358 Pander Calendar, Leon arrived at the village of Buyulin with the army of the Eastern Front.

Here, he received news from Alina that Emperor Marius had driven all the Serpentarians out of Imperial Harbor.

However, Emperor Marius was no longer able to flank the north and south with Leon.

Because, His Majesty Marius died in the port of Dilin.

Marius ...... Passed away!

The emperor died of illness because he died in the governor's palace of the emperor's port.

But he was also killed in battle, because just half an hour before his death, the emperor was still personally leading the army to charge and kill, driving all the snake worshippers in the city out of the emperor's port.

Perhaps, he took his last breath and fulfilled his promise to his allies - he would drive the enemy out of the port and let Leon annihilate him in the field.

Happy Holidays to all friends!
