A week later...

In the southeast of the Erasia continent, where more than a thousand soldiers were entrenched and were hung high with blue-bottomed and gold-edged griffin flags, in the largest tent, Queen Catherine was frowning, staring at the cowhide topographic map of the Erasia Kingdom spread on the ground in the middle of the tent, and on it, there were many small people carved with wood and houses, indicating the situation of the enemy and us, as well as the situation of some major towns on the Erasia continent.

At this time, the bad and shocking signs of the enemy and our situation above made her and the generals who were also frowning around her felt extremely worried! Because so far, through the investigation of the generals she sent out, the scouts' investigation and various intelligence summary feedback from various channels, they could roughly guess the extent to which the Kingdom of Eracia was currently in its fall.

Even though there is still little information to be returned now, even if they landed on the continent of Erasia, it only took about twenty days. However, based on the current information, she could easily see that the situation was really optimistic! To this day, there is basically no place on the land of the Kingdom of Erasia that belongs to humans. It is ruled by a certain lord and has been established to resist invasion. Therefore, on the map in front of them, all the towns and strongholds that are extremely important to Erasia were marked with the marks of Negan or Over, and the small area of ​​Caliade that belonged to them, which they landed...

Anyway, the situation was very bad, much worse than what she could guess and estimate when she landed in Eracia before.

However, no matter how bad the situation is, they always have to continue!

After all, since she has come to Eracia and has chosen to reorganize the mountains, she must not watch Negan and Over's demons rampant and slaughter the people who enslaved her on her homeland, nor can she bear to watch the land that gave birth to her and raised her fall, nor can she allow her father King Griffin to die tragically. Then the huge kingdom was occupied by Negan and Over's demons who were suspected of being behind the scenes!!

Just as Queen Catherine and the generals were at a loss for the current bad situation and did not know what to do next, and where to start to break through this passive situation that was very unfavorable for Elasia, suddenly, a guard stepped in from outside the tent.

'Report!'

‘Queen! A griffin knight came outside. He claimed to be a messenger who came from Caliard City overnight. He came here specially to deliver good news like you!’

The guard said excitedly.

Obviously, for the soldiers who fought on the land of Eracia but were hitting walls everywhere, the thing they most hoped to hear at the moment was probably the word "good news"! So, after seeing the soldier who was able to ride that fierce griffin to report the news for some reason and hearing what the other party said, he hurriedly ran in to report.

"Griffin Knight? Good news?"

"Oh!"

When Katherine heard the word "Good News", she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and smiled, not too much.

"Let him come in!"

"I want to see, what else can surprise me in Caliard City?"

I guess a little guy is really capable. She must have beaten the invading Negan and then hurriedly sent someone to her to seek credit and reward?

She knew that the little guy's spell was indeed quite powerful. I guess those Negan's demons must have suffered a great loss in the other party's hands, right? Of course, the other party's employment cost is also very high, and she almost vomited blood! However, if the other party could still keep the important landing port for her and the small town of Kaliard a month later, perhaps the money would not be too unfair!

Soon, while Catherine was staring at the map in a daze and thinking about it, a soldier who looked a little excited walked in with great strides under the guidance of the guard just now.

"Tell me!"

"What kind of good news is it? Did the city of Caliard be attacked and the enemy was driven away by the little witch?"

When the other party finished salute, before the other party could speak, Catherine asked the soldier in front of her who was wearing strange leather armor that she sheltered from the wind, carrying a bow and arrow, and several small axes were inserted into the leather behind her.

'ah?'

‘No! No!’

‘His Majesty Queen! The city of Caliard was not attacked, nor did it see any enemies!’

I wonder why Queen Catherine in front of me suddenly asked those nonsensical words. After hesitating and surprised for a moment, he answered honestly.

“??”

"What else can there be a good news? Could it be that she ran out alone to sweep or sneak attack the enemy's patrol?"

Unexpectedly, it was not because of the attack on Caliard City, which made Catherine, who had not paid much attention to it, a little surprised.

'Report!'

‘Not it!!’

"Oh!"

"Forget it, then you can tell me..."

Finally, Catherine let out a rare sigh and smiled bitterly, then had to give up and not plan to continue guessing.

‘Report to the Queen!’

‘The Lord Anne Witch led his army to break through the My Khan City the afternoon of the previous day, killing more than 2,000 enemies, completely occupying the entire city and area. He is currently sweeping the surrounding areas of My Khan City and waiting for an opportunity to march towards Prince and Treya!’

As if he was afraid that the others in the tent would not hear it, the messenger read out loud and proudly what he knew, and at the same time took out a roll of parchment from his bag, and then held it in his hands in a manner, handing it over to His Majesty, who seemed to be shocked by the news he brought.

“…”

"I already know the incident. He didn't lie. That little guy, she did build the Secret Sweat City!"

"But the process is a bit complicated. I will tell you in detail later!"

Queen Catherine, who had put away the parchment letters and did not intend to let her generals and nobles see this letter with some strange and completely unethical format, then looked at the messenger who was waiting for some trepidation after appeased the generals and nobles who wanted to surround them:

"you!"

"Take him down to eat something and find a tent to give him some rest, and then remember to ask the camp clerk to give him a reward of ten gold coins, and then bring him here to get the letter back after dawn tomorrow!"

After quickly rolling up the long parchment letter, Catherine directly explained to the guard as she waited by the uneasy messenger.

‘Yes! Obey the order!’

Looking at the queen's expression, and according to the other party's arrangement and reward for the messenger, the guard did not know the authenticity of the good news that the messenger had just mentioned from the city of Caliard? So he responded with some excitement, turned around and pulled the messenger out, and planned to go out and ask carefully after going out.

“…”

"Everyone!"

"It's really good news!"

"Caliard City, there is basically no danger around our rear road... Surprisingly, the little wizard we hired is now leading her 'army' to sweep the surroundings of the Mysang City. If everything goes well, after we complete the tactical goals of coming here, perhaps the area of ​​Prince and Treya City may be completely restored by her?"

‘!!’

'What?!'

‘That is absolutely impossible!’

'absurd!!'

‘I don’t understand, where did her army come from, that little witch?’

‘This must be Negan or Over!!’

‘Your Majesty! You won’t really believe in something that would never happen, right?’

‘…’

Sure enough, just as Catherine expected, as she spoke, the generals and nobles exclaimed, and just like her previous reaction, she could not believe anything that could not have happened.

After all, it sounded even more incredible than the rebellion initiated by the remnants of the former empire that she was the princess of the Kingdom of Elasia and was only seventeen years old. But no matter what, Catherine knew that the messenger and the little girl should not have deceived them! Moreover, this matter could not be faked, and she would definitely verify and confirm through some channels.
