Elrence immediately conveyed to Cleo the terms of Pope Gregory's armistice, and after some discussion between the eldest princess and Queen Olympias, Marciris received an answer the next day.

Not surprisingly, the Holy See's missionary request was flatly rejected, but the Olympia Union promised to apologize for the previous attack on the port of Pescara and to pay a symbolic indemnity of 30 million lites (the currency unit in circulation on the Balkan continent).

As for the envoy sent to the Vatican, the original candidate of the Holy See was Cleo, but the Queen Mother Olympias, of course, objected, and the princes and ministers in the Olympia League did not agree to the departure of the eldest princess as the commander of the fleet at the critical juncture of the war. However, the Latin princess beats Nomia but volunteers to be a replacement for Cleo, and she is willing to sacrifice herself for the victory of the war, risking the risk to go to the Vatican as a hostage.

On the one hand, as the princess of the powerful Latin Kingdom back then, although she is now gone, she is still noble enough to attract the attention of Gregory. On the other hand, the Latin kingdom shared the same faith as the Western Romans and was once an ally, making it easier for the two sides to communicate. In the end, the fall of the Latin Kingdom was caused by the abandonment of the Western Roman Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor, and the Holy See inevitably felt guilty about it, and would not embarrass the poor Latin princess.

Immediately after receiving the reply, the President reported these conditions to the Pope. In this way, after repeated bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

As a condition of the armistice, the Olympian Union promised to apologize for the attack on the port of Pescara and immediately release all prisoners, including the two cardinals. and compensate Western Rome 100 million litres, but this amount will be repaid in ten years. In addition, the Latin princess Nomia will represent the Olympia League in the Vatican. Coordinate the relationship between the two. After the peace treaty was reached, the two sides ceased hostilities, opened trade, and guaranteed the security of the Adriatic Sea lanes.

At this point, the security of the southwest of the Olympia League was finally ensured, and a large convoy of convoys began to move north from the southern Balkans along the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, transporting large quantities of material resources to Illyria.

At the same time, part of the main force of the former Anatonian legions, which remained in the south to guard against the Western Romans, was also liberated because of the turn of the Western Front. Led by the young general Dmitry, they went north with the convoy of transports. Demitry set off with the elite Moon Elf Northern Legion led by Periande, the Grand Prince of Corinth, the remnants of the Theban warriors led by Kalofil, and the Northern Dragon Mercenary Regiment and other miscellaneous armies.

So. Illyria's strength tripled, from 5,000 regular troops and 5,000 militia to 40,000 troops, of which 30,000 were elite troops. Once suddenly killed from the right side of the Hot Springs Pass battlefield. will have the ability to shake the entire front of the enemy's army.

But Holy Rome and Eastern Rome were not blind. They had already sent a large number of spies throughout the Balkans to closely monitor the movements of the Olympian Union army. The movement of tens of thousands of troops and supplies in Dalian was soon noticed by them. The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick, fearing an attack on the flank, had to immediately change the disposition of his army, relinquishing part of the task of attacking Thermopylae to the Eastern Romans, transferring back tens of thousands of elite troops from the front line, and organizing a strong defensive line in the flank and rear.

As a result, the fierce battle on the Hot Springs Pass front has cooled down a bit as the enemy forces are busy with troop movements and the number of people is decreasing. But both warring sides knew that the silence was merely a harbinger of a larger decisive battle. Once one of the sides is ready, the flames of war will be ignited again

A month passed quickly. The operational preparations of both sides have reached the point where they are nearing completion.

In the early morning of this day, shortly after the sun rose, the sea of Koto was still filled with thick fog, and visibility was very low. A black-robed man with two beautiful women, one tall and one short, appeared in the military harbor under the floating island of Delo.

These three are Elrens, the mermaid princess Vanessa, and the Athenian princess Oni. Since the dragon had obtained the core of the fiery phoenix phoenix in the previous battle, the great alchemist Antya used this to create a teleportation device, although the teleportation ability was not as good as the core of the space-time energy-absorbing behemoth, but it was enough for them to quickly travel back and forth between Black Dragon Town and Delos.

Elrens came to Delos with an extremely important mission. Although tens of thousands of troops stationed in Illyria were ready to attack, the enemy was equally prepared and numerically superior, and if they were to fight hard, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses if they could win. For this reason, after some deliberation, it was decided to open a new front from the eastern coast while the enemy's attention was focused on Thermopylae Pass and Illyria.

In order to gather a force strong enough to inflict heavy damage on the enemy on this new front, Elrens asked Vanessa to contact the Merfolk Kingdom of the Sea of Koto, and both sides agreed to send troops together. After some urgent mobilization, the Mermaid Kingdom has gathered an elite army of about 10,000 people and is preparing to land on the east coast of the Thessaly Kingdom. At the same time, Elrens and Oni will lead the Knights of Parthenon, who are still on the island of Delos, and the Illyrian navy, which has just arrived from the Adriatic Sea, to fight with the Merfolk Kingdom army.

They had already made contact with the Grand Prince of the Golden Horde, who was stationed nearby, and if the landing was successful, Attila would take the opportunity to lead his army to formally break with Holy Rome and Eastern Rome. When the time came, the armies of the three sides gathered together, and more than 100,000 troops attacked the enemy's defenseless left side, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

When Ellens and the others came to the port, the abyssal sea dragon Leviathan, who stayed here, came up with his admiral Adonis and others.

After nodding to everyone, the evil dragon asked directly, "Where is the army of the Mermaid Kingdom now?"

Adonis immediately replied, "Your Excellency, we have just made contact with each other, and His Highness Prian has already led a large army to Andros Island. ”

Elrens nodded: "Very good, let's set off to join them right away!"
