The mage arrives

"Earl Freeman, I'm sorry. 7" When passing by Gordon, the head of the Swan Legion saluted, then ignored Savi Langdon's shouting, and left straight away.

Gordon is not a knight who is keen on making contributions in war, but as a nobleman, he also has a keen sense of war.He has never heard of Freyton and Northengard before. The two superpowers in the northern continent have any signs of war. How could they start a war overnight?

"Master Langdon, what's going on?" Gordon asked.

The middle-aged man rubbed his stubble and sighed: "Last night, the sixteen spies that we Freyton planted in Northengard sent a report at the same time, saying that the army of the Black Dragon Empire suddenly began to gather, and quickly Closer to our borders..."

The Platinum Empire Freyton and the Black Dragon Empire Northengard, the two countries have diametrically opposed beliefs and completely different values. It can be said that they are born to kill enemies.More than 900 years have passed since the Fourth Era, and not even one-tenth of the days of peace between the two countries have passed.

Or for the Freytons and the Northengards, apart from the war period, there is only a war preparation period between the two countries.There is no such thing as peace.

"Decades have passed since the last peace agreement was signed. Why does the other party suddenly want to start a war? There is no sign at all."

"Who knows." Savi Langdon shrugged and said helplessly, "Maybe it's because our undercover agent in Northengard destroyed the black dragon emperor's cutting-edge golem arsenal last month, so Longyan was furious Bar."

Although the two countries are in a state of peace for the time being, they do not engage in small private actions with each other.In the war that the orcs invaded the north last winter.There are spies from Northengard mixing the waters.The Aldrich family, which previously ruled the Haven Peninsula, also colluded with Northengard.And Ferretton's underground workers.It is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and often engages in subversive, sabotage and incitement in Northengard.Try to prevent the huge war machine of the Black Dragon Empire from running smoothly.

"If Northengard is really ready to move and prepare to go to war, it will be really troublesome."

Savi Langdon nodded, agreeing with Gordon's opinion: "Even if we don't enter the war, just the prelude to this war is enough to embarrass our city of Freiris."

The city of Freiris now needs to gather all available forces to defend against the threat of the Death Will sect in the dark.Originally, for the upcoming Huiyang Festival, Savi Langdon planned to borrow some manpower from the Swan Legion stationed in Changxia Province to strengthen its defense.Who knows the situation has changed.The commander of the Alanas Legion, who had an old friend with Savi Langdon, could only forcefully reject his request, and dragged the entire legion to the border.If the Swan Legion is stationed, or even if the Swan Legion only sends a thousand-man team to the city of Fleuris, the situation will be much better.

It's okay to say that the Swan Legion is because this legion only belongs to the center of the empire, and it doesn't belong to the city of Freiris in the first place.Coming is just icing on the cake.

But not long after Alannas, the head of the Swan Legion, left the Red Maple Manor, a worse news came.

A fleet of the Black Dragon Empire Northengard circled the Wilfast Peninsula, sailed all the way to the Sea of ​​Steam, and directly faced the entire southern coastal area of ​​Freydon.posed a huge threat.Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor issued an emergency mobilization order, summoning all the nobles along the coast of the Sea of ​​Steam to join the Royal Fleet.Go to intercept the Northengard fleet.

The Freeman family and the Phoenix family are naturally also within the scope of the mobilization order.

Gordon didn't care.It is the duty of nobles to provide troops to fight for His Majesty the Emperor.He just needs to send a message to Brian, who is in charge of territorial affairs.Ask him to send the Haiwen Navy to the designated assembly point, and everything should follow the command.But the point is.If Ms. Vironka leaves the city of Fleuris with the fleet of the Phoenix family, the city's defenses will be weakened by another level.

To know.The sailors on the Phoenix fleet are also extremely elite light infantry on land, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

Although the combined strength of all parties in Freiris City is far stronger than that of the Death Will Sect, but the enemy is hidden and we can only blindly defend. It is really too big to lose, and it is extremely passive.Just like on the pre-Federation Earth, those superpowers are also devastated by terrorist attacks and cannot defend themselves.

"I only hope that after what happened last night, our people can enter the underground cave along the crack blasted out by Zakaria, find the lair of the Sect of Death, and put an end to all of this." Savi Langdon He sighed habitually.After recently shouldering a heavy burden on his shoulders, the prodigal son mage became more and more distressed.

"Judging from the enemy's shrewdness and cunning, the possibility of this is close to zero." Gordon shook his head helplessly.

"If I had chosen to major in the school of prophecy, maybe I wouldn't be so passive now." Savi Langdon frowned.No matter how powerful you are, there are still unreversible realities, and you can only comfort yourself with a hypothesis.This feeling of powerlessness is not very pleasant.

"Although the Swan Legion is unreliable, at least the three temples will help us, won't they?"

When something like this happened in Fleuris City, the ruling class would certainly not sit still.In addition to using the existing manpower in their hands to deal with the Death Will Sect, they are also trying to recruit help.Nobles and big merchants paid their own money to recruit adventurers and mercenaries from all over the place, and many churches in Freris City were also trying their best to seek assistance from other dioceses.

The decision-making center of the Temple of Dawn is the College of Cardinals located in the Dawn Valley of the Montenegro Province, but the headquarters that actually handles specific affairs is in Port Duolong—located on the coast of the Sword Sea in the southern province, only separated from the city of Freiris. A city on the Haven Peninsula.Although Gordon didn't like Archbishop Dudica, it was precisely because of her relationship that Duorong Port agreed to the city of Freris' request for help and organized an elite skitarii to come.The Platinum Temple and the Temple of Law also have their own actions.

The only worry is that now the border is raging like a storm, and the war with the Black Dragon Empire Northengard seems to be on the verge of breaking out. Will this sudden change affect the reinforcements in Freris City, preventing them from arriving in time before the Sunrise Festival? .

…………

Unfortunately, what Gordon and Savi Langdon worried about happened.

Because the neighboring countries with malicious intentions were about to move around, most of the aid forces in Freiris City failed to arrive as scheduled.Some mercenaries temporarily changed their minds and joined the team heading to the eastern border because of the mandatory recruitment laws of the empire, or because of the more generous rewards offered by the royal family.However, some adventurers and temple personnel had to advance on foot because the army had to collect vehicles to assemble their forces, which greatly increased the travel time, and ultimately failed to reach the city of Freiris before the Huiyang Festival.

When summer arrives, the sun shines most brightly throughout the year, and the concentration of positive energy in the environment reaches its peak.This day is a very important day for humans, especially for the Fereidonians.Believers of the sun god Pelor will hold a series of activities on this day. Every household will prepare various delicacies with fresh sun petals as the main material. into summer.On this day, parents will take their children to the water to bathe and clean while allowing their bodies to fully enjoy the sunshine and the abundant positive energy in nature, so that their children will grow up healthy and strong.

Although most of the expected reinforcements did not arrive.Although the operation to clear the underground cult lair did not go very smoothly.However, the celebration of the Huiyang Festival in Freiris City was still held as scheduled, but the city guards and the armed forces of the major temples secretly concentrated their minds and prepared to deal with any emergencies.

Meanwhile, Admiral Vilonka Phoenix was on the sea hundreds of kilometers away from the noisy and bustling city of Fleuris.The sun is shining brightly on the land, but the steam sea is still shrouded in mist, and there is an elusive mystery in the haze.

Ever since the fleet of the Black Dragon Empire Northengard appeared on the steam sea, as the most well-trained military force on the southern coast of the empire, the most elite warships, and the military force with the highest level of combat readiness on weekdays, the private fleet of the Phoenix family - in the imperial navy sequence The fleet code-named 'Fire Phoenix' attacked first.The task of Vironka is to track and deny the Northengard fleet's further actions, and to find out the specific strength and true intentions of the other party.

The Royal Fleet, as the main force, will not come to face the battle until it has assembled with the other noble fleets that have arrived one after another—if a war really breaks out between Freyton and Northengard.

The female admiral of the Phoenix family stood on the bridge of the flagship first-class battleship "True Red", holding up her binoculars.

This kind of special enchanted telescope can allow the user's sight to penetrate through heavy smog and clearly see distant scenes.This kind of telescope is necessary in the special environment like the sea of ​​steam, which is filled with fog for two-thirds of the year.

The Fire Phoenix fleet commanded by Vilonka and the Northengard fleet faced each other at a distance of about fifteen nautical miles, and this state had lasted for two full days.Between the two fleets, there is a reef area with complicated sea conditions, which happens to be a buffer for the two armies.

"The enemy has been floating in the open sea, and is not in a hurry to launch an attack. Is the other party still waiting for our fleet to be assembled? Or, this fleet has another purpose?" Vironka once again observed through the telescope, the mist The sails of the Middle Northengard fleet remained motionless.This made her feel suspicious.

But the female admiral didn't know that while she was observing the movements of the Northengard fleet, someone on the other side was watching her carefully. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
