Chapter Twenty-Six: Invincible
Miss Rabbit has been thinking about fishing, but she didn't expect to catch a big fish as soon as she went out.
The battle with Drake helped Ilea solve a lot of things at once, and according to Joseph, there were less than 200 defenders left in Berry Fort.
And this time, Drake came with the armies of many nearby lords, in other words, the territory of those people is also in an unprecedented emptiness at the moment.
Naturally, the girl would not be polite to them, and she knocked down all these places in one go, and the strong posture she showed made many people frightened.
Although Ilea was very capable of fighting before, first defeating a dragon, then defeating the armies of the dwarves in the Dragonspine Mountains, and then crushing the invasion of the Winged Clansmen.
But for the next year, she has been working in the west to engage in production and agriculture, so that many people have forgotten how good she is at war.
And now the girl is forcing everyone to recall her past achievements with a series of neat victories.
As a result, the remaining lords of the Golden Valley were all panicked, whether they chose to side with Allister or loyal to Claudio, or those who were still waiting, they didn't care about the previous grievances and got all together.
Because the strength of the enemy this time is too strong, it is obvious that the strength of one family alone cannot defeat such a strong enemy.
On the other hand, Lilania and his wife had just completed their army and set off on the road, their original plan was to meet up with Ilea in Berry Castle and then attack together, but they didn't expect Ilea to drink Coke in Berry Castle at this time.
When Lilanyav and his wife arrived at Fort Berry, they received news that the army of the West had rested here for six days and then continued its advance north.
Wherever they passed, the local leaders either surrendered the city or abandoned the city and fled, but no one dared to resist.
Drake's crushing defeat had caused many to lose their fighting spirit, especially the news that Ilea and her army of the West could summon white smoke and thunder on the battlefield, and control the terrifying orb of iron to smash any enemy who tried to stand in their way.
Coupled with the experience of those Wing Clansmen, more and more people began to believe that Miss Rabbit did have the help of gods behind her.
And how can mortals stand up to the gods?
The Black Hand Edra was thinking about this right now, and the Rune City where he was now had gathered a number of emissaries sent by his family.
These people had been chattering and arguing in his city lord's mansion for the past few days, and everyone had a worried expression on the imminent catastrophe, and Edra frowned at the sight.
"That's enough," the Black Hand began, interrupting the discussion, "you are here every day complaining and preaching the strength of the enemy, and it will not help you keep your territory. β
"And what do you think?" The man who spoke was a young aristocrat.
But Edra didn't despise him because of his youth, because he knew the identity of the manβWolf, Wolf from the Vannathan family.
As early as two years ago, no one knew the name and the family behind it.
However, Wolf later stood out in Solomon's tournament and killed several opponents in a row, winning the favor of the Wing Clan commander and giving him land and wealth, allowing him to jump directly into the dragon's gate.
After Solomon's death, Lanita did not embarrass the new nobles that Solomon had canonized during his lifetime, but relied on them even more, and she gave Wolf a rather fertile piece of land in the Golden Valley as a gift.
The latter also became the new aristocracy with the most land in the Golden Valley.
"Your Emperor, Conley, doesn't he have a two-headed dragon," Edra was still polite to Wolf, "maybe you could write to him and borrow one so we can at least focus on Ilea and her army of the West." β
Wolf shook his head, "Those Wing-Clan people have lost a dragon, and for the only two dragons left, I don't have that much face to ask for one." β
"You should tell those Wing-Clan people that Ilea has become king, and she will not be satisfied with just taking the Golden Valley, if we are defeated, then the next one to fall will be Elk Valley, and then it will be the turn of the Red Plains." Edra said.
"And what about your emperor, what is he going to do?" Wolf asked.
"Your Majesty, he is too far away, even if he wants to help us, he can't do anything, unless you open both the Red Plains and the Elk Valley and allow His Majesty's army to pass through."
"It's not something I can do." Wolf said lightly, and after saying that, he looked at the other nobles who were still noisy in the hall.
"There's still something going on in my territory that needs to be dealt with back and told me when you have the result of your argument."
After saying that, he didn't care whether the black hand agreed or not, turned around and walked out of the latter's mansion.
Edra squinted his eyes as he looked at Wolfe's departing back.
Another nobleman named Geralt said to Adla, "Isn't this kid trying to betray us and join Ilea?"
"He made his fortune by taking refuge in those Wing Clansmen, but it seems that he has no loyalty to those Wing Clansmen.
"These nouveau riche don't have any aristocratic honor in their hearts."
Geralt has always looked down on these new nobles, who have grown up by eating the corpses of the old nobles, and are a pack of shameless hyenas.
At this time, Edra didn't care about the battle between the old and the new, he just wanted to solve the imminent problem of survival first.
With the terrible speed of that army, it wouldn't be long before it reached his door.
"Perhaps we can turn to the Ponlos family in Elk Valley for help." A nobleman proposed.
"The Ponros family? They had already been beaten by Ireya, and in order to redeem Tristan, they were about to empty their families, and they didn't have the courage to fight Irea again. β
The Black Hand sighed as he spoke.
Tristan had lost so badly before, and many nobles had laughed at him, but he didn't expect it to be their turn so soon.
If that battle wasn't enough, then Derek, as Edla's teacher and the famous commander of the Golden Valley, no one knows his strength better than Edla, and as a result, Derek just took a face to face with the army of the Western Frontier and disappeared.
The Black Hand didn't think that he would be able to defeat Ilea by leading his troops, even if he concentrated the forces in the hands of everyone in the hall.
This is also the place where he feels the most headache, he can't fight, and he is reluctant to escape from these lands that he has so hard to occupy.
Just as Edra and the other nobles were frowning, a voice rang out from the crowd, "I may have a way to help you get through this." β
