Chapter 566
Winter has long passed and spring has entered the second half of the season, but the warm wind comes with the coldness of war.
Tuscalou, the fortress of the western human race, was spread over the sky, hundreds of griffins flew back and forth, and thousands of emergency battle reports gathered from all over the place to the city. Then, a team of thousands of cavalry teams that had been on standby were sent out of the fortress.
"Fortunately, many people should be rescued this time." On the tallest building in Tuscalus, Sheffield was different from being as gentle and close in the Trial Forest. Sheffield was like a compassionate leader, looking at the crowd who were seeking refuge outside the fortress gate, while Cynthia was silently with him like a capable wife, but neither of them looked as relaxed as this.
"Yes, with these griffins as reconnaissance, no matter how long the defense line is, they are not afraid of orcs raids. I hope they can return them to their hometown as usual after obtaining some supplies. The fortress supplies are enough for us to consume normally for three months. I also have to thank that boy Lu Xien, but I really don't know what he thinks, and he will use precious space equipment to ship things~" Thinking of the days with Lu Chen, Kamiluo was speechless, and unlike his brother-in-law and sister, he still did not look like a superior.
"Haha, it might be better if Lucien could come back with us." Sheffield sighed. He was unintentional to the throne, but he could not let go of Barrel's people.
In fact, everyone knows that orcs will not retreat easily. Even if they plant more food in the border areas for them to grab, they will slow down their attack speed a little more because they are too many. Too many to die, a large number will lead to the destruction of the entire orc race in famine. The problem of population control is impossible in most of their races. Only a few superior races with the same way of reproduction as humans can do it. However, for the sake of the strength of their respective tribes, they will never restrict the reproduction of their tribes.
"Okay, don't dream, according to the news from your father, that guy has already arrived at his fiefdom, and should be busy setting up a griffin farm or helping Rosel plan how to seize the throne, and the eldest prince of Finecio is giving him a headache. It's the same man, can you give me some chance?" Cynthia couldn't help it. Seeing that there were no outsiders around him, her true colors were revealed immediately.
Osmon, who was left to hold the team for them, laughed happily, but soon stopped laughing and said with some emotion: "Don't think about Lucien, in fact, he is burdened much heavier than us. After all, orcs are not equal to fools. If the war and internal changes between Kaistin and Finesh are not handled well, it is likely that it will trigger a mainland war."
The atmosphere was not very good and became heavier in Osmond's words, but the uninhabited Sheffield and the other two showed a firmer look, as if they didn't want to be compared by Lu Chen; at the same time, in the small corner where no one noticed, a quiet little girl was turning her beautiful big eyes very much, which was very dissatisfied with her image.
———
During the same period of time, there were escalating small-scale conflicts on the border between Fineci and the Kaistin Empire in the north. Finally, it turned into a war when the climate warmed up. Fortunately, Clarence and the four legions that Lu Chen didn't want happened to catch up with the first battle, which caught Belic, who was caught off guard, suffered a big loss.
However, the opponent had been prepared for a long time. Clarence failed to continue to expand the results of the battle, so he could only watch the enemy return to defense and re-arrange him with Kenny.
The Ekasu Plain is the only area between the two countries suitable for large-scale legion battles, and its small hills can also be easily ambushed and defended. The most sturdy Erent Fortress of Fineshu was built on the largest hill on the edge of the plain. It was accompanied by the 100 magic crystal cannons built by the Kingdom, which tightly slammed Kaisting's ambition to invade, forcing the empire to give up its advantage in military strength and use elite troops to attack the narrow flanks in order to attack the rear without magic crystal cannon defense.
At the suggestion of Kenny's "priority to strengthen the garrison forces east of the fortress", Clarence, who happened to catch up with the battle and defeated the enemy, had heard various reports in the fortress at this moment. Fortunately, there was nothing worth noting except this battle. The only thing that could be considered was the Grand Duke of Gallagher, located in the south point east of Elent, which was also a major reason why Kenny chose to go to the east of the fortress first.
According to the reconnaissance, the three legions in the fief had already been assembled, but for some reason, they didn't move a single step. Kaisting seemed to have no intention of attacking there, but only stationed a legion to defend accordingly.
But such a thing is normal. Not sending a soldier before receiving a request for help or order is the practice of most of the nobles in the fiefdom. Moreover, the kingdom also has a corresponding treaty that prohibits the nobles from being allowed to reorganize their troops at will and leave their fiefdoms without reason and set foot on the kingdom's land.
However, after listening to the report, Clarence and Kenny, who had arrived from the capital, both felt that things were worse than expected, because they all knew that shortly after Lu Chen left, there was a beautiful big tail named Gallagher behind Fei Luna, and he also mentioned to several important officials many times that he intended to marry into the royal family. Obviously, Grand Duke Claytu was obviously taking this opportunity to hint that the kingdom was that he wanted to marry the royal family.
"Do you want to tell Lucien about this?" After everyone around him went down, Kenny asked with some amusement. After all, the two parties involved were extremely troublesome.
"This place is not far from the Anderes Mountains, but there is no feasible path unless it is a griffin... These two guys always go around, but they just refuse to reveal how far they have developed. I think it's better not to worry about it, let the nearby legions keep alert, and send a reconnaissance team to pay attention to Claytu's movements at all times." The frequency of fingers hitting the table was getting higher and higher. Clarence, who found that he could not afford to offend anyone, could only make a decision to ignore it. Anyway, with the strength of those two, there would be no major problems.
Shrugged, Kenny went out to do what he should do, because he saw that this best friend was afraid of the two guys who had eaten too much and played ambiguous things. But thinking about it, even the old man in his family gave up and continued to force Clarence to seize the throne after seeing Lu Chen. Now, who else in the kingdom after Angus left, would his hidden strength be better than them?
However, what no one could have imagined was that just as the fleet of more than a hundred ships on the sea east was about to arrive in the waters of Brion, a letter with the signature of Angus and the seal of the first heir was placed on Claytu Gallagher's desk, and he was standing by the windowsill of the study, staring at the Andres Mountains in the distance with a calm face.
