Salaam left Sindani and her Ritual Vault at Madroxus, nominally just in case, but in reality to prevent the wavering fellow from turning against Denatius when they meet again.

Since Denatius was desperate to abandon his lair and adopt the tactic of changing homes, Valera also quickly ordered Sindani to lead the remaining forces of Madroxus to attack on all fronts, and rendezvous the vanguard to break through Nasriya Fort in one fell swoop.

Sindani's mindset is actually very easy to grasp, they will only follow the stronger side, and will always be on top of the situation.

Denatius mistakenly believed that Gristian and the Winter Queen had completely subdued the entire Madrixus, including the Rite Vault.

Even if Madroxus didn't have a military master, the odds of winning against the other two and a half kingdoms with the strength of half of Ravenders would still be very slim.

This is like the barrage saying that one mine hits three mines, except for the surprise attack, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for Denasius.

Therefore, with the information currently available to Denatius, it is understandable to make such a devastating choice.

…… Of course, the best choice he thought he had made was actually the only choice that was forcibly squeezed by Sarian using various external conditions.

"Heh~"

In the Central Arena of Madroxus, after receiving the latest order from Valeera, the two remaining marquises, Sindani and Akalek, chuckled in unison.

Although they smiled at the same time, the meaning behind the laughter of the two was completely different.

Akalek's smile expressed the expected sense of ease, which was more or less mixed with some teasing and teasing of Sindani.

Sindani's smile is more complicated, and perhaps only she knows how many layers of meaning are contained in this chuckle.

"It's come to this, and it's useless to talk about it."

The treacherous and cunning Marquis of Ceremonies quickly sorted out his complicated emotions, and gave a loud order to the Madroxus coalition army, which was already ready to go: "Warriors! Your long-awaited opportunity for revenge has arrived! ”

"Whole army! Get started now! Target, enemy headquarters Ravenders! ”

"Oh!!"

Madroxus was originally the strongest military force in the Shadow Realm, and the people who could be assigned here were all war maniacs who longed to continue fighting even after death.

Even if the commander of the army has not yet returned, the Mardroxas militants, who have long been accustomed to going to the battlefield, will not have stage fright.

Rather, they are looking forward to the upcoming battle.

The mighty army of the undead, led by the two marquises, entered the secret passage leading to Ravenders in an orderly manner.

On the other side of the passage, after Ravenders learned that Denatius had left, Kexus immediately arranged for Baron Draka to come to the exit to guide reinforcements.

The exit to this teleportation path, found using a secret message left by the Warlord, is located in the southern part of Fort Nasriya, in a remote wooded area known as the Calamity.

This is why Kexus was able to quickly capture the nearby town of Fear and the Midnight Market after merging with Renasol.

After politely saluting Akalek and Sindani, who had rushed to the helm with their troops, Draka said straight to the point: "Two Marquises, according to the plan specified in advance by the Marquis of Creation, your goal is to march westward and take the Ash Wastes and the Fallen Citadel as quickly as possible. ”

"As long as we can capture the Fallen Fortress, our army will be able to encircle the Nasriya Fort from two directions, and with Denatius leading the elite out, victory is just around the corner."

Sindani's eyes were somewhat complicated as she looked at the Fallen Citadel on the high ground northwest of Calamity.

"I know, after taking the Fallen Fortress, we will also divide our forces according to the plan to block the only way from the Nasriya Fort to the Dominion Fortress, and completely trap the enemy army in that lonely city."

The whole of Ravenders is a kingdom centered on the Nasriya Fort, and there are a total of 4 main junctions to the Nasriya Fort, two of which are the Hall of Atonement and the Fallen Fort on both sides of the Arch Fortress.

In addition to this, Darkbay originally had a bridge leading to Nasria Fort.

In order to increase as much time as possible for the official army of Ravenders to pursue the rebels fighting guerrillas, the bridge was blown up by order of Renasol several years earlier.

Denatius's side has tried to repair it several times since then, but each time it has been interfered with by the rebel army, which has not been completed until now.

The final route into the city connects to the Dominion Fortress in the northwest corner of Ravenders, a fortified fortress that originally belonged to the Stonesmith and her Stoneborn legion.

After the rebels began to pursue guerrilla tactics, the Stoneborn Legion voluntarily abandoned the fortress they had planned to defend and scattered into several rebel strongholds.

The Dominion Fortress captured by Denatius was just an empty shell, with nothing left inside.

Due to its remote location and lack of strategic value, Denatius did not send a large number of troops to the Fortress, which was once an important base for the rebels, was abandoned.

Salian speculated that if the battle at Fort Nasria was unfavorable, the nobles of Wencier, who had been left behind by Denasius to defend their homes, would most likely abandon Fort Nasria, which was surrounded on both sides and leaking air everywhere, and instead retreated to the fortress of Domination, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Sarjan didn't intend to give them this opportunity, although it was most likely impossible for Denatius to go back, but what if?

If this group of Wencil nobles really persisted until Denatius came back, it would not be easy to capture this mountain fortress by virtue of the geographical advantage of dominating the fortress and the strong city defense.

In order to avoid complications, Sarjan had made a plan before the battle began, to block the last retreat of the Wencir nobles before they fled.

After seeing Drakar, who had come to deliver the message, fly away on a Stoneborn, Sindani sighed in relief.

"It's really thoughtful, I don't want to be an opponent with such a terrible person."

After making up her mind, Sindani finally let go of the entanglement in her heart, and her originally hesitant eyes became firm.

"Well, it's time for the Shadow Realm to see the strength of the Ritual Secret Courtyard for the first time in a long time, we are not a fort that only hides under the protection of our comrades-in-arms and reverses spells!"

Again, Madroxus is a meeting place for war freaks.

Even those seemingly arrogant lichs in the Ritual Secret Academy were mostly battle spellcasters who fought on the battlefield during their lifetimes, and they were completely different from the conventional academic mages.

Otherwise, they would not be qualified to be ranked as the two most powerful Secret Houses in Madroxus along with the Soul Chosen Academy.

Previously, due to Sindani's vacillating position, the Ceremonial Secret Institute had almost touched the entire civil war in Madroxus, and Sindani threw all the black cauldron of fornication with Denasius on the head of the Sacrificial Baron who had already been executed.

Under the personal leadership of Sindani, the sharp-eyed agents led by Akalek saw the powerful firepower of the Ritual Secret Courtyard for the first time in many years.

The Fallen Citadel sits on the Ashen Wasteland, and speaking of this wasteland, we have to mention the great battle between Ravenders and the Legion of Light.

The reason for the war needs not be elaborated, but the end result was that Denatius was forced to agree to banish the Nasrezm from the Shadow Realm, which led to the retreat of the Legion of Light.

The Wasteland of Ashes was the battlefield of that time, and to this day, the land of this wasteland still retains an excess of Holy Light.

Because of this excess power of light, this originally fertile land has become a miserable state where no grass grows.

Denatius later put everything to good use, using the Ash Wastes as a penal colony for the poor nobles who had lost in court battles, and the Fallen Citadel was used as a stronghold to keep watch over the Vault Dwellers.

However, the scale of the Fallen Citadel is significantly more shabby than the Hall of Atonement and the same fortress.

The simple reason is that there is not a need for so many jailers to stay here.

For the souls of the Shadow Realm, an excess of holy light is like a violent poison, and if you are not careful, you will be "purified" by the power of light that remains here.

Compared to the pampered Wencil, the Madroxas soldiers, accustomed to fighting, were more hard-working.

The burning of the Light was indeed unbearable for them, but it was not entirely unbearable.

Under the personal command of Sindani's leading soldiers, the coalition composed of the three secret houses of rituals, creation, and withering took less than half a day to break through the Fallen Citadel, which had the defense of the moat.

After taking the only refuge in the Ash Wasteland, Sindani and the others, who had been burned by the Holy Light, stopped for a moment to repair.

Akalek and Sharp Eye, who followed the army and came slowly with umbrellas, took over the follow-up work, and they would infiltrate the fortress as fast as they could, driving away the few defenders in the city from the inside out, and completely blocking the retreat of Nasriyaba.

At the same time that Madroxas and the rebels began to attack Nasria Fort on both sides, Olipos, who had been at peace for many years, also ushered in the first baptism of battle after the suppression of Zovar.
