Sea of Mist, aboard the Empire of Trenthorst.

Captain Yveli felt a surge of power coming from the underworld.

Bang~

The Empire trembled violently, as if it was about to jump out of the sea.

Within a few dozen nautical miles of this giant ship as the center, all living things died and decayed in an instant.

But Iveli and they were not affected, because they were already between life and death.

Bang~

The Empire shook again, and a crew member panicked and pushed open the door to the captain's room: "Captain, it's the power room!" ”

Eveli's eyes froze: "The corpse of the ancient god of death!" ”

Immediately afterward, he prayed to the "Founder" to report the incident.

The Creator had sealed the room where the corpse of the Ancient Death was kept, but Yveli could do nothing but pray to the gods to strengthen the seal.

It's just that the "founder" is very busy at this time.

……

For preventing the resurrection of the ancient Grim Reaper, Hobert is still relatively confident, he not only has the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" path, but also the "0-80" law brass book.

Although the resurrected ancient god of death represents death, he only has a symbolic meaning and no uniqueness in his body.

This is equivalent to a very high personality, but the actual ability is much worse than the real Grim Reaper.

Even so, an ordinary Sequence 1 would be very difficult to deal with such an being, but Hobert is not ordinary, he can use uniqueness!

The Ancient Reaper seemed to be aware of the danger, and he winked at Hobert, and the illusory door inside seemed to be active, flashing with magical brilliance.

Hobart suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and in the next moment, he slammed into the barrier formed by the power of the "State of Order", and the "Brass Book" almost escaped.

After a moment's thought, he immediately understood, the ancient god of death just didn't know where to send him? But it was blocked by the barriers formed by the "country of disorder"!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Ancient Reaper slammed out of the downward passage, his size was enormous, his body covered in feathers of blazing flames and mystical patterns.

It's just that he looks more illusory overall, as if the picture has faded after a long time.

This made Hobart realize that the Ancient Reaper had fallen in the Second Age, and that the long years and the later promotion of the "Emperor of Hades" to the Reaper had dealt a big blow to the Ancient Reaper.

But now, instead of pondering this, Hobert has "magnified" the damage inflicted on the ancient Grim Reaper by the "Brass Book of Laws", causing the feathers on his body to fall off and the decay of his skin to spread rapidly downward!

The Ancient Grim Reaper realized that Hobert, the obstructive man, was still there, so he suddenly spread his wings and fanned out a biting cold wind.

Even with the protection of the "Order Crystal", Hobert felt a chill all over his body, and his spirit body trembled involuntarily.

Fortunately, the "Regular Brass Book" was not very affected, and the latest page once again appeared in the form of a mercury font: the larger the size, the more power is consumed.

The Ancient Reaper suddenly became even more illusory, and the power drawn from the "River of Eternal Darkness" seemed to be insufficient to maintain his current state!

Hobert, who had recovered from his recovery, used his ability to "connect" and cut off some of the ancient Reaper's ways of gaining power.

There is a trick in this, Hobert is using this ability against the Ancient Reaper, not against the Ancient Reaper and the "River of Eternal Darkness", otherwise the probability of success will be very low.

The movements of the Ancient Reaper became a slump, as if it had become a machine with insufficient power.

Hobert took advantage of this opportunity to "tamper" with the state of the ancient Grim Reaper, changing "resurrection" to "fall", but failed to succeed the first time.

As soon as the ancient god of death raised his head, the battlefield that Hobert had opened up with the power of the "State of Disorder" ignited with blazing white flames.

These flames fuel all spirits and spirits, and in a second or two they can burn the battlefield into a "spiritual vacuum".

But Hobert was not too affected, because a new text had appeared on the "Brass Book of Laws": the living who broke into the "City of the Dead" would be punished by "imprisonment".

Although this was a punishment, it was equivalent to protecting Hobart in another way.

After the surrounding spirits were burned away, the blazing white flames disappeared, and at the same time, the "imprisonment" of Hobart also disappeared.

Hobert "tampered" with the already weak Ancient Grim Reaper for the second time, or tampered with the "resurrection" process to the "fall" process.

This time it worked!

Woo gak~

The Ancient Grim Reaper raised his head and let out a strange cry, his body was covered in blazing white flames, and his figure became more and more illusory, and finally he was burned to the ground, leaving nothing left!

He fell so cleanly that Hobart couldn't believe it.

But in the next second, at the entrance of the hall to the "River of Eternal Darkness", a huge bird's head appeared! That's the Ancient Grim Reaper!

Hobert was a little helpless, it seemed that Calderon, the "City of the Dead", would be difficult to completely end the process of the resurrection of the ancient Grim Reaper.

The member of the "Underworld Sect" said before, "In this kingdom of God, he is the god of death", which is probably what he meant.

The Ancient Reaper should have been well aware of this trait, and it would have been difficult to draw them outside of Calderón.

Hobert retreated to the edge of the battlefield, thinking of a solution to the problem while he was on the defensive.

Suddenly, Hobert noticed that something seemed wrong in the eyes of the Ancient Reaper.

After looking carefully, Hobert found that the bronze feeling of the other party's eyes had disappeared, and the illusory doors were not so obvious, and the outside seemed to be covered with a reddish film.

Hobert was stunned for a moment and realized: this is a bit like a snake's eyes!

Looking at the illusory body of the ancient god of death, most of it is still covered with feathers composed of blazing flames and mysterious patterns.

However, in some places, dark green scales appeared, and between the scales, white feathers grew.

Hobert recognized: this is a characteristic of a feathered serpent!

Immediately, he realized that the "Emperor of the Dead" Salinger was not only promoted to the god of death, but also had a certain impact on the "River of Eternal Darkness", so although Calderon, the "City of the Dead", was the home of the ancient god of death, the "Emperor of Hades" could also use his arrangement in the "River of Eternal Darkness" to have a certain impact on the resurrection process of the ancient god of death.

It may be that every time the ancient god of death "died", the influence of the "Emperor of Hades" on him deepened, and it is likely that two "death" will eventually form a stitching monster.

In that case, no one knows who will be resurrected in the end!

Hobert's thoughts were only formed in an instant, when the Ancient Reaper came out of the entrance completely and was about to attack the enemy in front of him.

At this moment, Hobart suddenly had an inspiration: the giant bird in front of him now dominates the ancient Death!

So he "magnified" the consciousness of the "Hades Emperor", and the ancient god of death suddenly stood there, his eyes were layers of illusory doors for a while, and then they turned reddish again, and then ignited with pale flames!

Taking advantage of the fact that the two "Grim Reapers" were fighting for control of his body, Hobart wrinkled his brows and considered countermeasures.

The key is to block the entrance to the "River of Eternal Darkness", otherwise I don't know how many times I will have to kill the ancient god of death in order to completely consume the remnants of his spirit.

At present, the only sealing power that Hobert can call on is the power from the "State of Disorder", after all, only essentia can fight essentia.

However, it is difficult to seal the "country of disorder" by using it alone, so we must find a way to strengthen the power of the "country of disorder" or weaken the power of the next "river of eternal darkness"!

But a new question arises, how to strengthen or weaken the power of essentia?

Hobert's current ability to "amplify" and "weaken" does not apply to essentia.

At this time, in the eyes of the ancient god of death, the pale flames gradually weakened, and the layers of illusory doors became much clearer again.

This shows that the Ancient Reaper is about to defeat the "Hades Emperor" and regain control of his body.

Hobert took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

He thought of another plan: could he ask the "fool" for help? Please give it a try using the power of the Source Castle?

At this time, the Ancient Reaper finally gained the upper hand again, after all, this was the arrangement of his resurrection, and it was impossible for the "Hades Emperor" to affect him for a long time at present.

Hobert looked at the slightly illusory body of the Ancient Reaper, ready to "tamper" with his state once again.

At this moment, Hobert suddenly had an inspiration!

The Ancient Reaper is now illusory, either because he has yet to find his body, or because he is currently only relying on the power of the River of Eternal Darkness to sustain his existence.

And then it occurred to Hobert that the "River of Eternal Darkness" was an illusory existence! To be precise, all essentia in essentia, except for the "sea of chaos", has no substance in the real-world sense.

This led Hobart to think that if everything around him was made more realistic, it would weaken the connection between the "City of the Dead" and the "River of Eternal Darkness" to a certain extent.

The moment Hobart had an inspiration, the Ancient Grim Reaper also began to attack, and he violently spread his wings, forming a flowing illusory symbol inside the wings, and finally forming the image of an immortal bird that radiated a miserable white brilliance.

Hobert's spirit body suddenly broke away from his body, and he walked uncontrollably towards the ancient god of death.

If the opposite side is really the god of death, it is difficult for Hobart to avoid such an attack, but there is no uniqueness in the other party's body, which makes Hobart not lose his mind, but the spirit body is not under his control.

He took a deep breath and "amplified" the power of his own spirit, followed by "weakening" the power of the ancient Grim Reaper.

Eventually, Hobert regained control of the spirit, stopping his approach to the Ancient Grim Reaper, and fighting for control of his spirit.

The "Brass Book of Laws" in Hobert's flesh appears on its own: For a living person, the spirit is in the flesh to conform to the laws of this world.

Hobart suddenly gained the upper hand in the battle for control of the spirit, and he took a few steps back and returned to his own body.

Even though his body and spirit had undergone a qualitative change, and his spirit body was damaged by such a toss, it was as if the two were not compatible, and every movement was very stiff.

However, Hobart already had the idea of sealing the "River of Eternal Darkness", so instead of confronting the Ancient Grim Reaper, he simply rolled behind a huge coffin to buy time for the "Brass Book of Laws".

Under the guidance of Hobert's spirituality, a new text appeared in the "Brass Book of Laws": Calderon, the city of the dead, was once a real-world city, so it was more realistic in nature.

Squeak squeak~

The surrounding halls suddenly resounded like the sound of dry branches snapping, as if the city was being reconstructed from within.

Woo gak~

The Ancient Reaper let out a strange scream, and Hobert's mind suddenly became sluggish, and just as his body was about to stiffen, Hobart struggled to use the ability of "Chaos" to make the target of the Ancient Reaper's attack chaotic.

As a result, Hobert only suffered part of the opponent's attack, and many of the surrounding coffins were scattered by the god-level "Word of the Dead", and the corpses inside were either intact or incomplete.

At the same time, a new text appeared in the Brass Book of Laws: because Calderón's nature is biased towards reality, it is still easier to connect with the real world even if it is in the depths of the underworld.

Call~

Calderon, the "City of the Dead", approached Puerto Montesson with a sudden, two cities, one on the ground and one upside down in the air, so close that they almost touched each other.

And an illusory cold wind formed by the two cities approaching each other violently blew away a lot of the spirits that appeared in Port Monteson.

At the same time, Port Montesson is rapidly becoming more white and illusory, and this "wave" is spreading around the city as the center.

The impact of the underworld on the real world accelerated.

Hobert, in the basilica at the bottom of Calderón, felt that the city was gradually becoming solidified, and at the same time, the power of the "River of Eternal Darkness" had diminished, and it no longer emerged from the entrance.

The ancient Reaper, whose power is based on the River of Eternal Darkness, has become weak, and his huge body has become even more illusory.

He opened his wings again, and his whole body radiated a terrible white light, like a king on high!

Knock knock~

The coffins in the battlefield were struck by some force inside, and the coffin lids were opened one by one, and the corpses of various creatures inside sat up, first saluting the ancient god of death reverently, and then rushing towards Hobart.

Hobert "twisted" their movements, turning their charge into a dance.

But then the Ancient Reaper regained control of them, and they used their extraordinary abilities to attack Hobert.

Hobert "distorted" the extraordinary abilities of these giants, elves, demons, and other extraordinary creatures, turning their "dawn light", "lightning", and "sulfur fireballs" into fireworks.

As the bright fireworks exploded, the dark halls, corpses, and coffins in the crackling sound all looked very festive.

At the same time as all this is happening, new words appear on the Brass Book of Regularity: as Calderón returns to the real world again, all illusory powers are diminished.

Hobert, who had been staring in the direction of the entrance, noticed that the illusory "River of Eternal Darkness" had finally severed most of its ties with the city and the resurrected ancient Grim Reaper, and its power had finally subsided from the entrance, returning to the river deep underground.

Hobert dodged the attack of the Ancient Grim Reaper in a somewhat embarrassed way, and hurriedly mobilized the power of the "Disordered Country" again to cover the entrance.

This time it went very well, and the entrance was sealed soon!

Theoretically, the power of the "River of Eternal Darkness" can penetrate the building and reveal itself from beyond the entrance, after all, it is illusory and has no substance.

It is precisely because it has no substance that this entrance becomes abstract when the "City of the Dead" is closer to reality.

As long as this abstract entrance is sealed, there will be no power seeping out from other places.

Call~

Hubert let out a long sigh of relief, and finally completed the seal!

Woo gak~

By this time, the Ancient Reaper had become almost transparent, and he cried out very unwillingly, but as its strength weakened, it could no longer attack Hobart.

The surrounding corpses seemed to be shaken violently, and suddenly turned into stone statues and stood there motionless.

……

On the streets of the City of the Dead near the center, "Eris" was still laughing, but as time went on, it was no longer "haha" laughing, but "hey, hey, hey".

Suddenly, he looked in the direction of the center of the city, as if he had a premonition.

In the next second, Erise's appearance changed, his hair and beard first became thicker, his skin became rough and sensitive, and he became a completely different person.

He suddenly remembered that he was the leader of the "Underworld Sect", and in order to achieve his goal, the "Underworld Sect" had sacrificed more than 800,000 lives in the past hundred years.

Those innocent spirits supported the members of the "Underworld" faction to conduct various studies, and supported them to get closer and closer to the center of the city.

In return, they can occasionally possess angel-level abilities!

But their bodies and minds are irreversibly eroded and polluted, and eventually they forget who they are.

The only thing I remember is to keep sacrificing spirits, so that the spiritual remnants of the ancient Death Gods kept here are revitalized little by little.

Finally, the Ancient Grim Reaper has finally been resurrected!

But......

He looked around, and the bone-white buildings on both sides of the street suddenly cracked, and then collapsed outwards from the center of the city.

The resurrection of the ancient Grim Reaper has stopped, and the last remaining spiritual remnants of him have also been greatly damaged, and it may be difficult to have a resurrection again.

Selena on the side, her figure suddenly became illusory, and before disappearing, she smiled and said, "The teacher has succeeded!"

"It's nice to be able to learn about the outside world from him......"

Her figure sank to the bottom and vanished.

And the leader of the "Underworld Faction", after regaining some sanity, quickly fled to the edge of the city.

……

At the city hall of Port Monteson, weeping one after another.

The deceased relatives of the official Extraordinary are just outside the barrier formed by the "Order Crystal".

They were scratching and banging on the barrier, wanting to hug their deceased child again, to hold their lover's hand, to hug their parents.

Ted buried his head deeply, struggling to control his emotions as he held the "Order Crystal" aloft in one hand, maintaining the barrier around him.

"Kid, I'm leaving." Ted's mother smiled.

Ted looked up and realized that his mother had become very illusory.

"Thank you Death, for letting me see you again, for letting me know that Ada can grow up carefree......" The other party's figure disappeared completely.

Ted wiped away his tears: "I also want to thank the gods!" Thanks for everything extraordinary! ”

With the disappearance of the relatives around them, everyone relieved for a while before they basically recovered their emotions.

At this time, they saw that the city of Calderón, which had been hanging in the air before, was very close to them, and it no longer seemed to have the properties to shock spirits and minds.

But now the city is slowly moving away, and many of the city's buildings are crumbling and scattering, slowly falling into Port Montesson and the surrounding area.

It gives the feeling that the "City of the Dead" is becoming shattered.

……

Sea of Mist, aboard the Empire of Trenthorst.

The violent shaking of the power compartment stopped, and everything was back to normal on the giant ship.

Captain Yveli breathed a sigh of relief, believing that the "Founder" had resealed the place.

……

At this time, the "founder" was still in the hall of the central part of Calderón.

The whole city is collapsing and disintegrating, but this huge palace has not been affected much.

The Ancient Reaper had finally disappeared in extreme unwillingness, and Hobart could feel that the spiritual remnants of the Ancient Reaper had weakened a lot.

It stands to reason that if anyone has become a new "god of death" before this, then there must be spiritual remnants of the ancient god of death and the "emperor of the underworld" among the divinity belonging to this "god of death".

After this toss, the spiritual remnants of the ancient Death in the divinity will be significantly weakened.

Calderon's sense of existence is also much weaker, and it may be that in the long years, this city, which represents the last bit of existence of the ancient god of death, will be completely integrated with the underworld, and he will eventually lose all possibility of resurrection.

Hobert looked at the corpses that had fallen into the coffin around him, and suddenly sighed: "The gods must also follow the law, even if the god of death will die, there is nothing to avoid the constraints of the law!" ”

He smiled suddenly, "Except for me!" ”

At this time, Hobert suddenly felt that he had realized the meaning of the law, it was like an impassable high wall, even a high wall that could crush the gods!

But as long as it exists, it has the possibility of leapfrogging.

At this moment, Hobert felt that he had digested a lot of the potion of the "Prince of the Order"!

After sighing, Hobert came to his senses and left Calderon to return to Port Monteson.

By this time, Calderon was already far away from Port Monteson, the ancient reaper had failed to resurrect, and the mutation of the underworld had stopped.

The "City of the Dead" is returning to the depths of the underworld, and once again there is a clear border between the underworld and reality.

Back at Port Montesson's Town Hall, Ted and the others had largely put away their sadness.

Hobart raised his hand and put away the barrier, which made Ted and the others sure that the person in front of him was the real Grand Duke Hobert.

"You go first!" Hobert raised his hand again and sent a dozen official Extraordinaires to Angelou.

Immediately afterward, Hobert "twisted" all the members of the "Underworld" faction to Port Monteson.

Just now, he had noticed that those members of the "Underworld Sect" had fled to the real world one after another, taking advantage of the "City of the Dead" to get close to the real world.

Hobert certainly didn't intend to let them go, someone was always responsible for this.

But Hobart didn't kill them completely, but instead "twisted" them into undead, making it impossible for them to leave Port Monteson.

Because of their special state, Hobart easily "distorted" their state, so that they would gradually turn into evil spirits for the next period of time.

Then, Hobert took out the "0-78" spiritual field from the "Land of Disorder", forming a huge "spiritual barrier" on the periphery of the surrounding land affected by the underworld

More than a hundred kilometers of territory around Port Montesson have been affected by the underworld and are no longer suitable for human existence.

The bones here have been drilled out of the earth and turned into skeleton warriors, all the corpses have become living corpses, and the souls of all creatures who have died and entered the underworld have become evil spirits.

The point is that Calderón has awakened a number of ancient undead who have "settled" in Puerto Monteson.

When he left Calderon, Hobart had a plan to transform it into a training base for the official Extraordinary.

After all this was arranged, Calderón completely disappeared from view, and the underworld was completely isolated from the real world.

Because of the process of merging the underworld with the real world just now, the climate here has changed drastically, although it will not be as unpredictable as the Raging Sea, but it will definitely be cloudy all year round, and there will be no sun to be seen.

Hobert's rough estimate is that it may be a few decades before the surrounding area returns to normal.

After leaving a "door" on the "spiritual barrier", Hobert returned to Angelou and immediately convened a high-level meeting to inform everyone of the incident, and ordered the two demigods, Lawrence and Ted, to take charge of the aftermath and the rebuilding of the training base.

At the same time, Hobert ordered the extraordinary forces and regular armies of the Duchy of South Bailang to assemble on the border between South Bairan and the Bairan Empire, allowing the Medici to launch a battle against the Bairan Empire.

Then Hobert issued a mobilization order for the Angelu region and the highland counties and Coron counties, and once the war began, these areas should be logistically prepared!

Before, Hobart was reluctant to go to war immediately, thinking that after the spring ploughing, the labor force of the whole country was freed from the fields.

In addition, a war with the Byron Empire is the most happy thing for the countries of the Northern Continent to see, and Hobert knows very well that once the war starts, it will definitely not only fight with the Byron Empire, Trenthorst They will definitely come to help, and the countries of the North Continent will definitely secretly aid the Byron Empire.

Let this dying empire consume more of the vital strength of the Southern Principality of Bailang, and in the eyes of the countries of the Northern Continent, it is best for the Southern Bailang Principality to pay a heavy price after defeating the Bailang Empire.

Therefore, this war cannot be delayed, and it can only be fought with the certainty of a decisive victory within two months.

But what happened in Port Montesson touched Hobert's bottom line, which was the rear of the Duchy of South Bairan, and whoever dared to fight there had to punch him hard, and it was best to punch him out of the psychological shadow.

Hobert's request to Medici is to launch a campaign that will hurt the Byron Empire! It is possible not to occupy any of the enemy's territory, but it must be a great depletion of the enemy's living forces.

Let the Bailang Empire not dare to slack off in the slightest, all the troops are in a state of readiness, and they have to sleep with one eye open!

Medici immediately understood Hobert's intentions: "What a clever strategy to exhaust the enemy!"

"Give me three days, and we'll prepare!"

At the end of the meeting, the propaganda department sprang into action, and the population in Angelou was very supportive of Archduke Hobert's decision, having learned that a large amount of territory had been destroyed in the Principality of South Byron and that tens of thousands of people had been left homeless.

As a result of the logistical preparations for the wartime situation, there were plenty of job opportunities, and in the winter, when most people were resting, the capital city of Angelu came alive again.

While the capital of the Duchy of South Byron and the entire Highlands were in motion, Hobert asked Audrey to continue bargaining in Selvas, while Hobert used the teleportation array to go to Beckland in person to complain about the Byran Empire's sneak attack in the League of Nations.

And said that they are undermining the peaceful situation in the southern continent.

The representatives of the Byron Empire tried to explain that it was the "Underworld faction" that carried out the attack, and the "Underworld faction" was not under their control.

Hobert firmly grasped the fact that the "Underworld Sect" was also a branch of the Spirit Order, and believed that the Byron Empire had an unshirkable responsibility.

What made the Byron Empire even more scrambling was that the countries of the Northern Continent actually supported the Southern Byron Principality!

Hobert knew very well that although they said nicely that they were on the side of justice, in fact, their purpose was to deepen the contradictions between the two countries in the southern continent.

He used this to put pressure on the Byron Empire to make their upper echelons panic first.

Hobert stayed in Bakeland for three days, and on the third night returned to the Duchy of South Bairan, near the front line.

Just then, Hobart received an important piece of information from Hugh!

……

The next day, Selvas.

Negotiations between the Byron Empire and the South Principality of Byron began as usual, and the diplomats of the Byron Empire believed that today would be another day of bickering.

After the main personnel were present, Audrey, the envoy of the Principality of South Bailang, suddenly stood up and said: "Now I solemnly inform you that because of your attack on the south of our country, and you refuse to apologize and compensate, the Grand Duke of Hobert issued an order to declare war on the Bailang Empire!"

"This is a declaration of war!"

When Audrey handed in her declaration of war, she immediately left the negotiating hall.

The diplomats of the Byron Empire did not come back to their senses for a long time, they certainly knew that the Duchy of South Byron was massing forces on the border between the two sides, but these soldiers had already completed their assembly in the city of Asunt a month or two earlier.

Because Audrey was still in Selvas, Hobert also appeared in Beckland, denouncing the Byron Empire in the "League of Nations".

This led them to make a serious miscalculation that the Duchy of Southern Bairan was amassing forces on the border for the purpose of deterrence, only to get the Bairan Empire to make concessions in negotiations.

Of course, the Byron Empire also carried out the build-up of troops, but their top brass generally believed that this war could not be fought, after all, after the world war in the Northern Continent, Hobert had been pursuing a foreign policy of appeasement, as if he was very reluctant to have another war.

They were stunned for more than ten seconds before someone picked up the national letter on the table and looked at it, it was indeed a declaration of war!

Only then did they react and immediately report the matter.

Prime Minister Santos was very surprised to reconfirm the contents of the declaration of war, and then immediately called a royal council, and ordered the soldiers to intercept Audrey and make sure to detain them.

However, shortly after Audrey's convoy left the city, it disappeared into the void.

……

At the same time Audrey declared war, the South Bailang Army had already crossed the border between the two countries.

However, the Medici did not directly attack the main force of the Bailang Empire on the border, but instead rushed towards the flank and rear of the main force of the Imperial Army.

The main forces of the Imperial Army did not know that the war had begun at this time, and they saw from a distance that a force was advancing rapidly from the avenue, and some officers even thought that it was a friendly army training.

It was only after the South Bailang army had passed a part that they reacted and quickly organized manpower to block it.

But the South Bailang army had already prepared, blocking the Imperial army while passing quickly.

Soon, their vanguard captured the small border town of Miguel, an important supply city for the Imperial Army's border troops, and the capture of this place meant that the initial victory of this roundabout operation was achieved.

However, Medici did not stop the pace of the attack, and while the inefficient Bailang Empire was still mobilizing, he once again launched interspersed tactics, capturing the cities of Waniki and Lanyadi from south to north in one day.

From Lanyadi, you can see the Poshoreu Mountains to the north.

This made the Imperial Army a little strange, because none of these cities were important cities, so why did the Southern Bailang Army spend so much effort to occupy these cities?

It was not until the ensuing national mobilization that the Imperial Army suddenly came to its senses.

It turned out that the three cities occupied by the Southern Bailang army formed a north-south front, connected to the Poshoreu Mountains in the north, and actually cut the power of the Bailang Empire into two parts!

At the very beginning of the war, the Imperial Army lost the opportunity to rally together!

But until this time they were not in a hurry, because in their opinion, these three cities were not big, and there were not many troops stationed.

Moreover, this part of the Southern Bailang army has become a "lone army", and food can still be plundered from the city, and it is impossible to bring much ammunition.

So the commander of the Imperial Army believed that the three cities would soon be recovered.

So they calmly divided into two parts, east and west, and then calmly gathered their own forces with absolute superiority, and launched attacks on the three cities.

As a result, at the beginning of the attack, they were confused: where did the defenders get so many artillery? Where did so many heavy machine guns come from?

The officers of the Imperial Army knew very well that in order to facilitate the attack, the defenders of the three cities did not bring heavy equipment!

Take Wanaki in the middle as an example, when they were besieging the city, a volley of defenders' artillery killed two or three hundred people, and it is estimated that there were at least 100 large-caliber guns in the small city of Waniki.

Unless the scouts were blind, it was impossible for them not to notice that so many artillery pieces had passed through half of the Byron Empire from south to north.

In addition, the fire network formed by the heavy machine guns in the city, not to mention the soldiers, not even a mosquito can fly through.

For a moment, the officers of the Imperial Army were a little dazed, not knowing how to fight this battle.

On the fifth day of the war, an observation group composed of high-ranking military officials from the Kingdom of Rune, the Republic of Intis, and the Vorsac Empire came to the forefront of the battlefield.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army claimed to have surrounded the main forces of the Southern Bailang Army in three small cities.

After listening to the introduction, Hobert's "old boss" Georgina said bluntly: "You have failed!" ”

She was very aware of the Southern Bailang Army's application of the teleportation array, and their early raid force was not a defender at all, but to occupy the city and set up a teleportation array while the Imperial army had not yet reacted.

They didn't recapture those three cities at the time, so now they don't want to take them unless they evacuate on their own initiative!

……

As Georgina had predicted, all three cities had teleportation arrays leading to Azon City and Angelou.

The wounded are carried down from the front line and taken directly to the State Hospital in Angelu, where they are operated on and treated.

The artillery shells in the rear were sent to the front line by wagon, because there was too much ammunition transported to the front line, and it was very dangerous to accumulate there, and the logistics troops sent back another batch.

The bread baked from Asunt City was still hot to the front!

Georgina was right, unless they abandoned the city, the Imperial Army would not want to attack it.

This was Medici's strategic understanding of Hobert, and it took only three brigades to mobilize the entire Byron Empire.

At present, the main force of the Principality of South Bailang is still stationed on the border between the two countries, staring at this empire with outdated tactical thinking.

……

The Northern Continent Observation Mission's proposal surprised the commanders of the Imperial Army.

But considering that the Kingdom of Rune had seen how the Southern Bailang army fought, and that the Republic of Intis and the Vorsack Empire had suffered the losses of the Southern Bailang army, they took these suggestions very seriously and realized that they had to fight extraordinary battles to be able to defeat these cities.

Just as they were gathering extraordinary forces and preparing to raid Waniki in the middle of the three cities, the major newspapers in the Northern Continent published a bombshell news one after another,

The Republic of Antis initiated a motion for the restoration of the Kingdom of Paz in the "League of Nations", and all countries except the Principality of South Bairan and the Kingdom of Fenerport voted in favor.

Although the Principality of South Bailang used the power of "one veto", with the support of some "civil forces", the process of recovering the kingdom of Paz began.

As a result, the Pas Valley region, which had been divided by the countries of the Northern Continent for more than a hundred years, regained the rule of the kingdom.

Anyone can see that this is to curb the northward expansion of the Duchy of Southern Bairan.

Although the bill was proposed by the Republic of Intis, it was basically Rune who was secretly presiding over the construction of the country.

The first was to give the Republic of Intis and the Ivsak Empire to the Kingdom of Paz as colonies ceded by the defeated powers, and the three kingdoms such as Rune promised to send them a large number of weapons and ammunition to help them equip an army of 300,000 men within a year.

At the beginning of its restoration, this kingdom of Paz became a powerful country in the southern continent!

For the royal family of Fenerport, William I did this a bit too much, this guy is obviously relying on the contradiction between Trensost and Hobert, jumping back and forth between the two.

But what they don't know is that William I also has his thoughts, and in the eyes of him, an "old statesman", this may be his last chance to become the king of angels.

As soon as Hobert's showdown with Trenthorst begins, he will do his best to help Hobert take out Trenthorst, and immediately pledge his allegiance to the "Creator", so that he can obtain a Sequence 1 trait in the future and become the "King of Angels".

Otherwise, he William I had been loyal to the "founder" early, and the entire northern continent would not be a threat to the Duchy of Southern Bailang, so how could he still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions?

Therefore, under the order of William I, the Kingdom of Rune has been creating contradictions in the Southern Continent, and even agreed to the suggestion of the Republic of Intis and sent Trenthorst to the Southern Continent.

In the previous world war, Trentost had a deep cooperation with Intis, and at that time, Indis promised to establish a kingdom in the Path Valley to Trenthorst after their victory, so Trentos's subordinates worked very hard to fight the Runnes in the Pas Valley.

It's just that later Intis and Fusak failed, and naturally they didn't have the ability to fulfill their promises.

As for the safety of working with Trenthorst, William I knew that Hobart would never let Trenthorst take away the extraordinary properties in his body again, so he considered his safety to be assured.

Subsequently, the situation in the southern continent suddenly became confusing!

Originally, everyone's attention was focused on the war between the South Bailang and the Bailang Empire, but the restoration of the Paz Kingdom was obviously premeditated, that is, to restore it when the South Bairan Principality could not go to war on two fronts.

When this newly restored kingdom takes advantage of the war to establish an effective rule, there will definitely be a situation of two against one, and the Duchy of South Bailang will be dragged by them and fall into a state of war for a long time, thus losing the best opportunity for development.

At this time, the countries of the northern continent will be able to calmly mediate and control South Bailang in a political way.

May 12 is the day of the coronation of the king of the kingdom of Pas.

The capital of this kingdom must be Caesar's Port, which was the most developed by the colonists, and in the newly renovated royal palace, many nobles and high-ranking officials from various countries were invited to hold a grand ceremony.

The ceremony begins with the king of the new country, dressed in classical costume, walking slowly from the outside to the throne inside the palace.

He looked to be in his twenties, with short brass hair, and he was the former "Night Emperor" Trenthorst!
