Stretching for thousands of miles, this mystical mountain is known as "cast iron", but it is undoubtedly one of the most contrasting mountains on the continent. The white head, iron waist, and green shirt skirt are its most realistic portrayal.

The white and pure snow-capped peaks that have not melted for thousands of years, the green vegetation of the valleys in the longitudinal fissure zone of the foothills, and the bare black rock mass between the two, but almost no grass, and the huge boulders are piled up like black iron, which is the reason for the name of the cast iron mountain range, and it is also its unique symbol.

The old territory of the Principality of Anlan, with the valleys of these foothills as the main body, and the Green River Valley, where Onisha chose to establish a state, is also one of the more northerly territories of the Former Kingdom.

The beautiful Green River meanders from the cast-iron mountains, and the abundant precipitation and snowmelt from the southern slopes of the mountain range feed the vast land on both sides of the Green River Valley, making it an extremely important agricultural and pastoral production area.

At this point, Onesha finally has a reliable supply base, and the "Fire Demon Knights" rely on it to attack from all sides, and have recovered a territory within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the new kingdom is showing a thriving scene.

From the Green River Valley, about a dozen miles to the northwest, the main mountain mass of the Cast Iron Mountains has been reached, and in a valley under the cliff, Allegri's magic tower is finally about to begin.

It is now the early spring of 1825 in the Guangming calendar, and the warm spring is followed by the cold winter, and the gentle valley has been covered with a layer of velvet new green, and occasionally wild flowers bloom, red, yellow, purple and blue, the color is brilliant and innumerable.

"The Magic Tower is finally about to start, and I don't have to worry about it every day. Onessa smiled, she wore a moon-white dress, shaped somewhat like the moon god priest's robe, looking slender and quiet.

"With the Fire Demon King guarding here, what do you have to worry about, the attackers sent by the Holy See have not all been dismissed by him lightly. Allegri and her stood on the grassy slope beside her, looking at the white dress Onesha in front of her, who could associate him with the terrifying Flame Demon Knight's leader?

"If it weren't for Master Herseus, Lord Barnalgomo wouldn't have been so obedient," Oneisha stretched and looked relieved, "but if the Tower doesn't start work, his patience will soon run out." ”

"By the way, there hasn't been any fighting lately, why do you keep running this way?" Allegri wondered.

"Now I rarely go on expeditions, so I'm very idle," Onisha said helplessly, "Those old ministers have been admonishing me that the country is important, so that I can't act rashly. ”

"Yes, you're already a Grand Duchess now," Allegri said with a sudden smile, "I'm afraid it's not just the war, but even the government affairs have someone to help you deal with, right?"

"The wise Master Allegri is not wrong at all," Onessa clapped her hands and laughed, "Actually, I came to you today to discuss two things with you. ”

"What?" Allegri wondered.

"First of all, the Duchy is going to form a 'court mage group', and it seems that you are the only member at the moment, so you won't refuse, right?" Onisha glanced at him.

"I've watched the gate for you, can you still excuse me?" Allegri said with a wry smile.

"Hey, the magic resources of the entire Duchy are supporting you," Oneisha snorted, "The second thing is that I'm going to send an envoy to Norman City to discuss an alliance between the two sides, how about you as the chief envoy?"

"Well, isn't it......" Allegri winced and glanced north.

"What's wrong," Onissa looked at him slyly, "I've heard that Illok has written you several letters, but you've been shirking and reluctant to go, isn't it just right to have this opportunity this time?"

"Forehead......," Allegri scratched his head, "I actually want to see if they are okay or not, but I have always had something to do, designing and optimizing the drawings of the tower, looking for all kinds of rare materials, many, many times, and I haven't found the time." ”

"Don't worry, I'll watch everything here for you," Onisha said, looking at the construction site not far away, "and Mr. Brooke can supervise the initial work for you, besides—" She smiled kindly, but with a hint of teasing, "Besides, you have given him most of the work now." ”

"I'm kind enough to deepen his understanding of the principles of magic. Allegri said unashamedly, and his face did not blush.

"Then it's decided, let's leave in three days. Onitsa tiptoed and patted him on the shoulder, leading the way forward.

Allegri followed behind with a bitter face, anxiously thinking about how to get away. After the "Victory Day Celebration", even after such a long time, he still didn't know how to face Nacini and Aithea.

So, despite missing Illo and Dios, and Nacini having sent an official letter to invite him, Allegri has been reluctant to go to Norman City.

Before Innedir's army arrived, due to the "Knights Templar's" initiative retreating, Dios led his army to directly break through Jonas's defenses, and Jonas's main army collapsed.

But while Nacini was about to raise an army in pursuit, Innedir's army arrived from the flank, covering the retreat of Jonas's remnants, and forming a new line of defense fifty miles south of Vanuna.

After months of fighting, the armies of both sides were exhausted, and they used this as a boundary to maintain a state of standoff. Although skirmishes broke out from time to time, they managed to remain relatively calm.

After this battle, the balance of strength between the two sides has changed dramatically again.

Nacini has already occupied nearly fifty percent of the territory of the former Snowton Empire, and has hundreds of thousands of elite troops under his command, occupying a real upper hand. He has also inherited the throne, and the original provisional government has been changed to a full-fledged state, still called the "Snowton Empire".

Jonas, who lost a large part of the territory and the main army, created the "Holy Duchy of Yonas", which occupied more than 30% of the territory of the original Snowton Empire, and relied on strong cities and remnants of the army to barely resist the attack of Nachina, but relying on Innedir's decisive decision, the total number of church troops gathered together reached 70,000, which was enough to offset the advantage of Nachina's army.

It can be judged that for a considerable period of time, the two sides will be in a phase of confrontation with each other.

Therefore, Nacini also led part of the army and officially returned to Norman City in the "Holy Blood River War Zone".

In the center of the city, the palace had been basically completed, and Nacini, who had washed away the dust, had secret conversations with several of his closest ministers in his study.

The new Snowton Empire generally followed the original political system, with the chief of administration and the chief of military affairs respectively leading civil and military officials, in addition to the inspector general and other low-level independent functional officials, a large number of young and promising officials gradually ascended to the position, but there was also no lack of old and serious old ministers, such as the old general Kudran has been officially promoted to the chief of military affairs, which is well deserved in terms of his qualifications and prestige.

"Cattroman has sent a message that due to the invasion of the Demon Legion, the Wraithed warriors of the 'Fortress of Sorrows' rarely harass the Iron Wall, and he is now able to draw some of his forces to support the frontal battlefield. Kudran said.

"It's hard to break through the frontal battlefield, especially after wintering, and their defensive forts are almost already built," another younger general muttered, "Even if the troops of the 'Tiebiguan Theater' are added to it, it will not be able to cause substantial changes." ”

"That's right," the old general Kudran nodded, "I suggest that the troops drawn from Cattroman encroach eastward and gradually occupy the territory of the southeast. ”

"Okay," Nacini nodded, letting an elegant civil servant next to him write an edict, rubbing his temples a little tiredly, and turning his head to ask, "How is the matter of redividing the war zone discussed?" ”

"I am discussing a concrete plan for implementation with the Chief of Administration," Kudran replied, "and this matter involves a very complicated relationship between the military and the government. And, I'm afraid that Cattroman will be upset. ”

Of the five first-tier theaters that Snowdo originally divided, Nacini now owns two, as well as some second-tier theaters and counties without theaters. The current situation is that two first-class theaters occupy more than sixty percent of the territory of Nacini, which is a little too much for a local official.

Therefore, Nacini wanted to implement a new administrative plan, which was very important to consolidate the rule of King Nacini. Kudran has been promoted to the chief of military affairs, so naturally he will not have any objections, but in the face of such a naked division of power, how will the "Blood Drinker Demon Knife" Cat Roman, who is a legendary warrior, react?

After much deliberation, they only proposed to make amends from titles and other aspects, and in the end there was no proper resolution.

"Well, I'll think about it," concluded Nacini after a while, "it's getting dark, and there's Lao Zhuqing, so that's all for today." ”

"By the way," the other ministers withdrew from the room, but Kudran turned back with a smile, "There is something I forgot to tell the king. ”

"What?" was the only teacher left in the study, and Nacini didn't have to keep the king's shelf, so he relaxed a little, leaning back on the chaise longue and closing his eyes.

"The envoy sent by Grand Duke Onisha of the Duchy of Anlan is already on the way, and the chief envoy seems to be Mr. Allegri. Kudran said.

"It's Allegri...... the look on Nacini's face was a little indescribable, but the most was the joy of seeing his old friend, "I ordered to go down and prepare a grand welcome ceremony, and I will greet him personally." ”

"Good. Kudran wanted to say something about fighting for control of the Path of the Lightlifter, but he didn't say anything when he saw Nacchini's happy expression. He hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled,

"Your Majesty, there has been a lot of noise among the military and civilians urging you to appoint a princess as soon as possible, and this matter should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. ”
