Scene 140 Eruin’s War

Very different from previous years, after several autumn rains, the areas affected by the autumn monsoon from Tonigel to the north began to clear up continuously, as if it was a refreshing autumn scene, completely cutting off people's impression of the continuous autumn rain in the southern border of Eruin.

The rare rainless climate also affected the fighting that stretched from Butchi to Gendenel. The coalition forces of Golan-Elsen and Duke Viero miscalculated the undead attack due to insufficient estimation of the climate, so they were already in Bromando retreated continuously under the attack of Black Rose.

After two battles in the Manowell Forest and the outskirts of Braggs, the undead frontline has advanced to the south of Kurk. Although this advancement speed has been far slower than the defeat of Eruin in the second Black Rose War in the previous life, But Gendenel still expressed dissatisfaction with the royal party. For this reason, Macaro and the 'lone wolf' Overwell - now named Count of Fao - have gone to the front line in advance. Eco, The Lantonilan coalition led by Crosshand Buga and the second batch of reinforcements from Count Odin are also on the way.

As early as a week ago, part of Tonigel's army stationed in Gendenel also completed the mobilization. This vanguard force will be commanded by the deputy commander of the White Lion Guard, Caglis Haberto, and will work with half of Eruin. Fellow Royal Knights.

It is worth mentioning that the future leader of the Royal Knights, Muke, is the commander of this half of the Knights. Just like the previous life, he is now a flag of the young faction within the Knights, and he has also entered the The core of the top management is deeply trusted by Count Yanilasu and Overwell.

As for the other one of the three heroes of Eruin, Lorca and Brayson of the Elvis family are also heading south from the north. Since the accident that happened in the Cruz Empire half a month ago, the White Lions have no need to return. Staying on the Anzeruta Plateau, under Overwell's instructions, they passed through Ampelsel and went south via Anlek. Now they have passed through the Faao region - they brought not only the combat power of the White Lions, but also the support of the eldest son of the king.

Under the leadership of the eldest son of the king, Levon Oneson Sifach, the northern nobles sent a coalition of nobles southward. The commanders are the swordsman Nicholas and the Earl of Gray Mountain from the Sifah royal family, and Garlok the Stranger is accompanying them. It can be said that after the death of Li Woods, apart from Brando's follower Charles, Garlock represents the strongest wizard power in the Kingdom of Eruin.

Of course, the tower wizards who are not affiliated with the kingdom are also excluded.

At this point, including the highland knights of Karasu, Eruin can be said to have completed the mobilization of the country. The total number of various military sources is close to 150,000. Considering Eruin's poor population . It can be said that it is a national effort.

But everyone, including the royal party, understands that although the kingdom is united and has barely enough soldiers to fight, the real problem with Eruin is that there is a huge gap between the upper-level power and Madara. Due to the coming of the demonic tide, almost all of Madara's new generation of generals have crossed the threshold of elemental manifestation. However, such as the Banshee King and the Pale Lord, who have survived from the dark age of Bromando's Black Rose. The undead lords themselves often have the strength of the elemental realm, and some are still on the side of truth.

Moreover, the country of Dead Moon itself is not inferior to the Cruz Empire, even in this era. They also have extreme strength, but they are arranged in the direction where St. Osol, the Great Glacier and Faenzan are separated by a wall, which is obvious. From the beginning, this dark country regarded Eruin as a place to train the new generation of generals.

This fact is very helpless,

But Eruin can only choose to accept it, and he must feel lucky for it, otherwise the kingdom's strength will not have any power to fight back. Even now, when facing Madara's high-level troops and numerous elemental realm powerhouses, everyone understands that Eruin's real winner is actually the new force from Tony Geer.

After all, it hasn’t been long since Brando caused earth-shaking in the empire. During this period, whether it was the gargoyles or the steel puppet army in the hands of the opponent, they represented the powerful power behind the lord, not to mention the cloth. The fleet supported by the Canadians is the only force in the southern area of ​​Cruz that can determine the ownership of the sky. As for how much hidden power there is in Tonigel's territory and the black forest that the other party has been developing, it is even harder to say.

At least the wind archers, druids, centaurs and forest elves are on the table. Not to mention the White Lion Guards who rose to prominence in the Ampelsel War, and it is rumored that the earl also has a caveman 'cavalry' in his hands that is not inferior in combat effectiveness. This rumor spread after the battle with Tony Geer.

But before the end of September, not everyone was kind to these 'hillbillies from the fir collar'.

The non-dealing between the earl and the empire once caused an uproar in Eruin. Not only did it attract unanimous criticism from the noble gentlemen who were accustomed to groveling in front of the Cruz people, but even the princess's usual allies, the royal party. All expressed dissatisfaction with this.

In the first ten days of September, there was even a civil strife that almost resulted from this - mainly due to the collusion between the royal party's die-hard forces and the northern nobles, but how much of this was resentment and dissatisfaction with the new forces within the kingdom is really It’s hard to say—fortunately, Tonigel and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess jointly suppressed the rebellion before it started.

Of course, there are also rumors that this incident itself was a trap set by the 'mistress' of Count Tonigel with the former's permission.

The consequences of the rebellion fermented between September and October, during which many people were killed. During this period, the iron blood and decisiveness shown by Princess Griffin and Antitina attracted everyone's attention. You know For a long time after the battle of Ampelsel, the eldest princess always showed her weak side in front of everyone.

The subsequent development of this incident once caused antagonism between the princess and the royal party, but in the end the two parties reached a reconciliation under the mediation of the 'lone wolf' Overwell, and the new royal party represented by Macaro's side pledged allegiance to the royal family It ended, but after this operation, the strength and prestige of the princess's faction increased greatly, but that is another story.

After mid-September, anyway. Although Brando was completely out of contact and absent, the title of Count Tonigel truly became a political force that cannot be ignored in Eruin and officially entered the stage of the kingdom.

After that, there was continuous reorganization. Mobilization and logistics distribution, the name of the staff lady has also been known to the entire kingdom due to a series of events in the past month.

Naturally, rumors about Count Tonigel's mistress spread like wildfire. So much so that she would be teased by her subordinates and the people in Fir Leader every time because of this, and even Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at her strangely recently.

Antitina was troubled by this matter.

Looking to the north from the Schafflund Hills, the sky is as blue as a wash, with smoke-like clouds floating on the blue sky, reflecting the Pallas Forest in the distance like an emerald inlaid in the mountains.

This is Tony Geer's rare good weather in this season. It was probably due to the fall of the Black Moon. The sunny days after autumn lasted for almost a month - although the 'stars' fell that day. Strange light pillars rose everywhere, minimizing the damage to the kingdom. The news gathered from Cruz and St. Osor after that day can prove that Faenzan may not be much different.

At present, wheat and cotton are growing well in the farmland from Gers Ferry to Mintailing. This year should usher in a bumper harvest. However, if the sunny weather continues until after winter, next year's sowing will be affected. , the news from the Astrologers Association seems to confirm this concern.

The Tree of the World - this is the new name of Valhalla Fortress among the locals in the Fir Territory area. When this giant tree began to thrive under the nourishment of the light spirit and exceeded the fourth stage, its lush tree cover The hills of Schavlund can no longer block it. It was no longer possible to keep the fortress secret, so Antitina discussed it with Leto and others. Simply open the outer areas of Valhalla, and the immigration and resettlement work will begin anyway. In Brando's plan, the population moving in from the Fir Ring and Mintai areas will be able to fill up Valhalla. Harrah's Lower Town.

The lower city underwent final repairs for a year and a half at the hands of Oldham, a descendant of the rune dwarves. After July, the construction was finally completed. In fact, several districts have begun to move residents in. Although the immigrants were initially resistant to the move, they were completely shocked after arriving here. After moving in for a period of time, it can be said that No one has any complaints about this magically powered city.

The only dissatisfaction is probably that the commercial activities in the city have not begun to flourish, because Valhalla has not yet been completely opened to the outside world, so Tonigel's commercial activities are still completed in Fir Castle and Grisig Harbor. Although most businessmen who are close to Tonigel have heard more or less rumors about this fortress.

At this point, after Valhalla sent away the eldest son of the Crown Prince and his knights. It can be said that it has finally welcomed its first batch of residents.

The first ones to move into the city were naturally the lords of Tonigel, Brando's most loyal people. Although Brando has more or less no concept of the word loyalty, under Antitina's selection, even if the royal party and other forces can insert spies and spies, it will not cause much trouble.

Not to mention that when Brando went to the north, the staff lady took advantage of the opportunity to clean up the conservative forces of the royal party and asked Leto and his veterans to form a secret intelligence organization. Although Antitina was not familiar with the secret police. There is no concept of something that transcends the times, but royal nobles from all over Warnd have their own spies, so this is not surprising. Even Princess Griffin did not ask a word.

As veterans of long-term wars, Leto and the others had never had any contact with the work of secret agents, but they could not resist the presence of little attention-grabbing things like lights in Valhalla. With the help of these ever-present eyes, Leto Although his subordinates did not perform well externally, at least they did a pretty good job towards the elderly Mr. Copper Dragon internally.

So far, under the joint protection of Kuran's city guard force and this secret agent force, Valhalla has finally passed the most difficult period smoothly, and the newly moved residents in the city have finally become familiar with this place. their new home.
