The cobbled together Imperial army in White River City was more resilient than Solomon had expected.

Perhaps because they realized that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of the Empire, these reinforcements from all over the Empire showed unprecedented fighting spirit and unity.

Despite the help of two dragons, the battle lasted from early morning to dusk.

The city was littered with corpses, blocking the streets. The family flags, embroidered with various coats of arms, were discarded on the ground like garbage, stained with blood and mud, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

It took nearly 2,000 men to achieve the final victory.

This number made Solomon's face a little ugly.

The expeditionary force he brought to the continent of Brattis this time was less than 16,000 people in total, and during this time, he fought everywhere, although he won successive battles, but even if he won the war, he would still lose his troops.

So far, he has lost more than 3,000 of his compatriots, and more than 2,000 wounded in his army, even if only a small number of them are permanently incapacitated, but this still gives Solomon a sense of crisis.

Realizing that his troops needed to rest, the capture of Lionheart and the victory of White River City had already proved to the people of the continent that they were strong and the Red Lion Empire was weak.

Solomon would then gather a group of powerful and ambitious lords to conquer the rest of the world, and he would send dragons to help.

However, the main force will be mainly used for recuperation and recuperation, and will try to only use it in key battles.

While Solomon was still thinking about what he was going to do, he saw his chief, Sigmund, approach.

The so-called head chief is the person who flies at the forefront and leads the way for the army.

Only those with the best vision, the best stamina, and the bravest and most astute can become the head chief.

Sigmund's expression was solemn, "Lord Solomon, Sharjah is gone. ”

Solomon frowned when he heard this, but he still said, "He has shown great courage in the previous battle, if you want to have some fun after the battle, let him go." ”

"But I'm afraid it's not easy for him to have fun this time." "Not long ago, Sharjah was seen leaving White River City with a group of men and flying west. ”

"Westside?"

"I asked the last person I spoke to him, and he said that Sharjah told him that he was going to the West, to find the female lord named Ilea to avenge Moen and the others."

"That idiot!"

It was the first time Sigmund had seen Solomon so angry, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but soon Solomon regained his composure.

"How many people did he take?"

"The seven warriors of the Golden Eagle Tribe, the two people from the Whiteback Tribe who are closer to him, and the four people from the Owl Tribe, are basically his cronies."

Sigmund asked, "Do we need to adjust our strategy for Sharjah and make the West our next goal?" ”

"No, you don't." Solomon said, "Let's go according to the previous plan, let the word go first, and those who want to pledge allegiance to us can rush to Lionheart within a month, and those who arrive first will be able to get a large piece of land." ”

Sigmund nodded, but then couldn't help but ask again, "Lord Solomon, do you really plan to just let Sharjah do this nonsense, in case something happens to him, Lord Zebulun's side ......?"

"Lord Zebulun is not on the continent of Brattis." Solomon said, "When he comes here, let me ask my master for his guilt, and the thirteen people that Sharjah took are all good hands."

"Even if you can't kill the female lord named Ilea, there shouldn't be any danger." Solomon said, "Let's focus on more important things." ”

Miss Rabbit, who was far away in the green field, sneezed at this time, and I don't know who was talking to her again.

Since she made her mind clear, the girl felt that her relationship with Merlin was heating up, but before she could be happy, she was dizzy by a series of bad news.

Lionheart was captured, and the body of Emperor Garth was hung on the gates the next morning, and a little later, Miss Rabbit received the news of the defeat of the defenders of White River.

It is said that less than 20,000 of the 100,000 people escaped, and the rest were either killed in battle or taken prisoner, including many nobles, and many families suffered heavy casualties.

The only good news was that the 10,000 men led by Hulse had escaped because they had not had time to reach White River City because they had walked too slowly.

In addition, with the Elven Kingdom declaring war on the Empire, the dwarves on the other side of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range were a little unable to sit still, and everyone saw the weakness of the Red Lion Empire at this time, and the dwarves also wanted a piece of the pie.

However, without the Savage allies, it will not be easy to cross the Dragonspine Mountains again.

In addition, in order to survive, the dwarven prince Ollie blew fiercely about Ilea and the Shuangxiu Sect after he returned, which made the dwarf king Heray jealous of the female lord.

In the end, it was decided to bypass the Dragonspine Mountains and launch an attack on the Golden Valley instead, but the princes of the Golden Valley were not vegetarians.

It was a notoriously wealthy place in the Empire, with lords generally wealthy and well-armed (many of them weapons and armor purchased from the dwarves), and the Campbells were known for their resourcefulness, which was presumably fought by both sides.

Miss Rabbit looked around and found that in addition to the western border where she was located, there was also a more remote, snow-covered northern border, and there seemed to be no place in the empire that had not been involved in the war.

And the female lord is well aware that the peace in the west is only temporary.

Those Wing Clansmen had set foot on the continent of Brattis from the very beginning to conquer the land, so no one could stay out of it.

So the female lord planned to wait for Li Yu's next arrival, and then gather several of her most trusted vassals and advisors to discuss what to do next.

But what Miss Rabbit didn't expect was that Li Yu hadn't come yet, but she waited for another uninvited guest first.

"What, what do you mean when you say the city of Scales is lost?"

Miss Rabbit looked at the young priest of the Silvermoon Church in front of her, who looked like she had just walked a lot, and wondered, "Did those Wing Clansmen launch a surprise attack on you?" ”

"No, it's Herodotus, it's Herodotus' Blood Moon Society, they started planning a long time ago, and finally succeeded in sparking a rebellion in the city of Scales."

The young priest's eyes were red, and he said in a hoarse voice, "The thugs of the Blood Moon Order have now taken over Scaley City, they have killed six high priests, only the High Priest Quintus has escaped, and he has now gone to Rock Snow City to ask for help. ”
