Manis, Cook Fortress.

This was once the main battlefield between the Kingdom of Alto and the Irira Empire. As a front-line fortress, Cook Fortress has 2,000 permanent elite troops, uniting with various surrounding fortresses. It has achieved a brilliant record of defense and resistance to the enemy's 20,000 troops in half a month of siege.

It carries this honor and a responsibility, but now the situation has changed a little...

A waning moon rose in the sky, but it soon disappeared in the clouds, and the earth was dark, and the soldiers stationed in the fort were looking out to the wilderness plains.

Facing this lonely darkness all day long, no one can bear it for a long time, so almost a few soldiers from the Alto Kingdom who were defending the city began to chat tonight.

"Hey, have you heard that there was a riot in Manis, but this time it was not an ordinary riot. I heard that it was deliberately created by someone."

"How to say it?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but think about it, suddenly, riots broke out in various towns and villages overnight. Although the scale is not large, don't you feel strange about such a synchronous action?"

"It's not surprising as long as it's in the Kingdom of Alto."

A soldier said, and the others first thought for a while, then laughed.

"Hey, I'm serious."

"so what."

"Oh, haven't you seen that the troops in the rear have been transferred back? Only our front-line troops are left here. If the enemy is fighting now..."

The man said, and heard this and felt a little chill behind everyone.

"Bao, babe, don't be crow-mouthed. Now we are already in talks with the Arella Empire, and don't you know? Arella is now having a headache about the invasion of the undead, so she has no intention to continue the war."

"Well...yes, maybe I've thought about it too much."

I noticed that my companion's face was a little wrong, and the guard tactfully did not continue talking, but...

"Reported, there is a situation, the magic detection device shows that there are a lot of magic fluctuations outside the city."

A guard rushed up the wall and reported to the chief guard. He heard the commander of the guard.

"Start the flare!"

The crossbow aimed at the sky, and the five-unit flares cut through the sky like meteors and spread out outside the city. Then the dazzling white light was emitted. With the help of the little white light, everyone looked out outside the city.

At the sight of an open and empty field outside the city, the guard captain said in surprise.

"Hmm? There's nothing, is there something wrong with the magic detection device?"

While he was puzzled, he subconsciously looked up...

“!!!”

The dark black clouds were pressing down very low, and among the dark clouds, ghost figures kept flashing by.

With the help of the light of the flares, the captain of the guard discovered the strange existence.

With a wingspan of four meters, a body length of three meters, a green skin, blood-red eyes, ghostly pterodactyls shuttled through the clouds, and their backs were riding on multiple soldiers wearing painted black armor.

Wingdrake + Black Armor, Erilla Empire, Wingdrake Cavalry Regiment!

"Speak the alarm, the enemy attack!!!"

The guard captain shouted this heart-wrenchingly, but the speed of the Wingdraft Cavalry was so fast. With the help of darkness and artificial dark clouds, the "flame jet" in his mouth was ready when the magic detector discovered them as soon as the ghost Wingdraft had already flown to the top of the city wall.

"Ah!"

Large fireballs rushed out, and the sudden attack made the guards panic.

Boom boom boom boom!

"Ahhhh!"

The explosion and screams were intertwined, and the city wall was in an instant. Taking advantage of this opportunity, hundreds of ghostly pterodactyls rushed down, and the assassins carried on them immediately jumped down.

"It's the enemy!"

In a panic, the guards found the assassins falling from the sky and rushed over. However, the assassins' target was clear, leaving two groups of people to block both sides of the city gate. Then the four teams of assassins rushed to the four gate control rooms of the city gate.

"Don't let them move the city gate!"

The guard captain shouted loudly, but the enemy's movements were so swift. Before the guards in the city arrived, the imperial assassins had already broken into the control room. At the same time, the flares were about to go out, but at the last moment of the extinguishing, its light reflected the soldiers running from afar.

Black war horses. What is the black armor? The war horses and armor are connected together, with as many as 2,000 heavy and light cavalry groups charging forward. The momentum is like a bamboo shoot and its formation is indestructible!

"For the Empire!"

"For the eldest prince!"

After dealing with an assassin, the guard captain discovered the cavalry rushing towards this side outside.

"Quick, all the remote firepower will be in operation!"

He shouted, but under the interference of the ghost pterosaurs and assassins, the crossbows, catapults, artillery, and magic crystal towers could not operate immediately. The scattered archers could not stop the enemy's armored cavalry at all.

Look at the city again...

Light sources were rushing towards the city wall. They were the soldiers who had just woken up in the city, but...

Crack Crack Crack Crack!

Four crisp sounds followed by four chains that grabbed the hanging door slowly falling down. At the same time, the iron gate of the main door also slowly rose, and the city gate control room was captured!

"How could it be so fast?"

There are spies!

This was the first reaction of the guard.

However, it is too late to say anything now, and the situation is very bad!

...

A long way from a distance, there was a gorgeous team of cars.

A handsome man in the front car surrounded by many black-armored soldiers was looking at the Cook Fortress, where a raging fire was ignited in the distance.

Mayer Erilla Ken, the eldest prince of the Arella Empire, known as the "Blood Hand".

"What a beautiful fireworks, what do you think?"

Mayer said, and a man in purple robe next to him nodded, he was...

Bishop of Black Sun Church, Zero!

“As you said.”

This sentence was spoken from zero, and then the two looked at each other and after the chuckling, Mayer picked up a letter, which was sent by his father, the king of the Arella Empire, "Kenvik Arella Ken" to call him back to the imperial capital.

However, if you don't call sooner or later, you won't call later, but at this time, it means that Kenwik has discovered that he has intention to attack privately, but...

Mayer threw the letter into the brazier used for lighting, and as the letter turned into ashes, he said.

"I replied to my father and said that the Kingdom of Alto attacked our occupied areas on the grounds of suppressing riots, with the intention of provoking me. As the "supervisor" guarding the border, I fought back. It was a forced act, and the border war was important, so I could not return to the imperial capital for the time being."

As he said, the messenger on the side recorded it and sent the information back to the Erella-occupied area in the rear through the communication crystal. Then Mayer said quietly.

"Wait and see, Father, this is what you taught to the child, the child has understood it!"

As he spoke, the flames in Mayer's eyes burned. They were the flames in Cook Fortress and the flames of Manis.
