Just as Elrens whispered to comfort Oni, the Grand Prince of the Mermaid Kingdom, Prian, came over from a distance.

Ever since the Grand Prince's successful assault on the city of Nicaea, he has not returned home with his army, but has been stationed near the port of Troy. Today for some reason he came to the fortress of Abydos again, and Elrens and the others looked up at him curiously.

Prian walked straight up to the group, nodded to Leviathan, and then said to the dragon, "Lord Elrens, I just received bad news. ”

"Huh?" the evil dragon was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's the bad news?"

The Grand Prince said in a deep voice: "According to our reliable information, at the repeated request of the Holy Rome and the Eastern Rome, Pope Gregory VII of Western Rome has officially decided to enter the war!"

"What?!Western Rome decided to go to war!!" Several nearby Anatonian legion generals were taken aback when they heard the news.

In this way, the three countries of Western Rome, Holy Rome and Eastern Rome, the successors of the Roman Empire, were already involved in the Balkan Wars. The Olympia Alliance is surrounded by enemy countries on three sides, and the number of troops, materials and food, land and population, comprehensive national strength and other aspects are far inferior to the enemy, and it is even more difficult to achieve the ultimate victory!

Ellens and the others didn't care, he already knew that the day of the Dao was coming, and he had made preparations for it, and when he heard the news, he sneered and said viciously: "Others are afraid of Western Rome and the Holy See of Light, but I'm not afraid of them!

Oni looked at the dragon fearlessly. He was so fond of it that he immediately agreed, saying, "That's right! The Western Romans were torn apart, and there were endless battles between the Holy See and the princes. Even if they decide to go to war, there's nothing to fear!"

The generals of the Anatonian Legion looked at Elrence and Oni with bitter faces, and they were very unimpressed, Pope Gregory VII of the Bright Heaven Sect and the twelve cardinals under his seat were all strong men who had been famous for many years, and they were definitely not easy to mess with! In their opinion, the reason why the evil dragon dared to speak wild was because he was also powerful. Even if you can't defeat the enemy by then, it is not difficult to flapp your wings and escape. But these Pella generals have a net worth and their lives on the Balkan continent. Once defeated, there is only one way to die!

At this time, Dmitry, who had been busy, noticed the situation here and quickly walked over. After hearing the news that Western Rome was about to send troops to war, the major general frowned. He asked Prian, "Your Highness." Do you have any more information about the details of their participation in the war?"

The mermaid prince smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, that's all I know. ”

Dmitry nodded, his heart becoming extremely heavy. Elrens patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, as we all know, Western Rome is divided internally, and the three major vassal states are reluctant to obey the command of the Holy See, and Gregory VII does not want the vassal states to grow stronger in the war." In my opinion, they will not mobilize large armies for a full-scale landing operation. At most, a medium-sized army will be sent to harass the southwestern Balkans. ”

The major general sighed: "Even so, I'm afraid it can't be prevented." We are trying to stop the enemy's southward movement at Hot Springs Pass. It's already done with all your might. Now the entire army of all the states of the Union is concentrated on the front line, and the rear is extremely empty. In addition, the southwest coast is extremely extensive, and it is difficult to defend it without a large number of troops. Once the enemy landed here, it would not take many troops to sweep across the entire southern Balkans. And if we are attacked before and after, I am afraid that we will definitely be defeated!"

Oni ran over and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Elrence has already taken a countermeasure, and they won't succeed!"

Dmitry turned his head and looked at Elrens suspiciously, wondering what he might do

Two days later, the Anatonian Legion had finally made all preparations for its departure, most of them boarded the ships of the Eastern Floating Fleet, and a few of them set sail back to the Balkans on the narwhal whale of the Mermaid Kingdom.

At this time, on the vast sea, dozens of narwhals and a large number of tiger shark riders formed a formation and swam forward quickly. Elrens stood on the back of a narwhal in the center, looking up at the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning flashed between the clouds, which was the scene of an approaching storm.

"The storm is coming. Leviathan, who was standing beside him, looked at the sky and said softly.

The mermaid prince Prian nodded and said, "Everyone, please return to the belly of the giant whale, we are about to start sinking." ”

After saying that, he beckoned to everyone and walked to the center of the whale's back first. There is a large hole about two meters in diameter, which is the breath hole of the giant whale, and the merfolk have installed a magic elevator in the breath hole, from which it can directly reach the warehouse and rest room in the belly of the giant whale. This huge sea creature is an excellent means of transportation and warfare in all respects, and the only drawback is that its belly does not have air circulation, and it cannot survive in it for a long time without surfacing for ventilation.

After a while, Ellens and the others followed Prian to the rest room in the belly of the giant whale, where the air was relatively muddy, and Oni couldn't help but frown her cute little brow, and took the opportunity to lean into the dragon's arms.

"What's wrong?" Ellens asked softly, holding little Lori.

Ernie said coquettishly: "It's stuffy here, people are a little dizzy~"

"Well, just be patient for a while. The dragon comforted her as he held her in his arms.

After everyone had sat down, Prian looked at Elrens, who somehow seemed to be a little speechless. The evil dragon looked at him curiously, wondering what this guy was trying to do. At this time, Leviathan coughed and broke the silence: "Elrens, now that Western Rome has decided to enter the war, and the entire southwestern coast of the Balkans is exposed to the enemy's attack, especially your new territory of Illyria, what plan do you have to resist the enemy?"

The evil dragon smiled and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to take the initiative. Attack Western Rome before the other side sends troops!"
