After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

I've come here again...

Gazing at the fierce battlefield ahead, the smell of blood and fire seemed to seep into every pore of his body. Lucas felt a surge of stomach acid and couldn't help but feel an urge to vomit.

What is the point of this war? Oh, Duke, whom I have never met, can't you just return the prince?

"Oswald is a very difficult opponent. Even when dozens of us mages ganged up on him before, we still failed to gain the upper hand."

Sophia looked solemn. As one of the strong allies in this war and a representative of the Mage Association, she naturally joined Lucas's squad.

"However, in the final battle, we are more likely to face Luna Charles and her Paladin Commander Paul."

"Is this Luna Charles very strong?"

Just in case, Lucas decided to ask first, just in case he accidentally ran into them.

As for Paladin Commander Paul, well, he's simply no match for him...

"Don't worry too much. I'll have Isolde assist you. I'd also like to test my mettle as a Paladin Commander."

Sophia smiled confidently. Nothing was more interesting than a paladin's fall.

Knowing better than to ask who should deal with Duke Oswald, Lucas looked away and gazed at Isolde, who was sitting to the side in a daze.

Isolde snapped out of her reverie, gave him a sweet smile, and seemed unconcerned about what might happen next.

Lucas sighed, his eyes deepening with worry.

A decisive battle is imminent. The sounds of fighting have carried from night to day. The outer walls of Green Gorge City have changed hands several times. Blood drips from the cracks in the bricks of the empty city gates, staining every footprint red.

Several units assembled in Green Gorge City, and after a brief training, the soldiers of the First Division also incorporated Molotov cocktails into the standard equipment of the First Division.

There's no way around it, it's just too useful. Ordinary soldiers only need to hang two Molotov cocktails on their waists, which is enough to deal with heavily armored targets on the battlefield.

Compared to the uniformly equipped First Division, the Second Division had a wide variety of troop types, with three different styles of armor alone.

Brenhar looked at Kate with some envy. Kate was incredibly strong now, with three regular regiments and two militia regiments under her command, a total of five regiments. No wonder she was able to hold out in Green Canyon for so long on her own.

Kate noticed Brenhart's gaze and gave a slightly weary, bitter smile. This time, his best subordinate, Federico, was not there, so in terms of merit, he probably couldn't compete with the First Division.

Luna was whispering something to Lisa and Paul, while Cage squatted in the corner with a cigarette in his mouth. This time, together with Luna's personal guards, Red's knights, and light cavalry, a total of nearly 12,000 cavalrymen would charge with her and be the first to sound the horn of counterattack.

Three troops filled the streets, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on their resolute faces.

The unusual activity in Green Canyon City still alerted the Central Army; it was quiet, too quiet.

The eerie silence caused unease, and Benjamin hastily ordered the siege troops to retreat, then immediately deployed his Second Order of Knights to guard against a sudden cavalry charge from the Northern army.

A somber atmosphere pervaded the air. The veteran corps stationed on the city wall quickly began preparations after seeing the enemy retreat.

According to the attack sequence, the veterans would launch the attack last of all the units, but they did not complain. A blood-soaked knife, seemingly rusty, was often the most deadly.

The small boat with its sails billowing cut through the golden waves and came to rest steadily on the shore.

The attack plan had already been finalized. Oswald and Elene walked hand in hand into Green Canyon. The soldiers immediately turned and saluted in unison, making a sound like a series of long whips lashing the air.

Oswald stood at attention and solemnly returned the salute.

But besides the Duke's inspiring silent encouragement, Lady Elene's serious admonitions were also an indispensable part of the Northern Army's expedition.

"Officers at all levels must strictly follow orders." She was dressed in a crisp military uniform, her only accessory being a black gemstone earring that swayed gently in the wind.

"Anyone who delays military operations or deserts in the face of battle will be dealt with according to military law."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The war drums heralded the start of the decisive battle. Far away in Iron Lake City, Federico, hearing the faint sound of the drums, forced himself to stand up and silently clenched his fists.

The gates of Green Canyon City slowly opened, and banners waved on the city walls. Without the slightest hesitation, Luna charged out first, causing the earth to tremble like thunder.

coming!

Benjamin's expression turned solemn, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. At this moment, the Central Army had already retreated to a distance of five miles, fearing that the Northern Territory's cavalry would come out in full force.

However, upon seeing Luna, he narrowed his eyes, then waved his hand and raised the flag. Before Luna could complete the assembly of her troops, he ordered his adjutant to lead the Second Knights to launch an attack.

Since only a limited number of warhorses could pass through the city gates at a time, Luna led out her personal guards and Paul's paladin troops first.

Seeing the enemy take the initiative to attack, Paul coldly swept his gaze across the enemy, raised his whip, and drew the longsword from his waist.

"For the Duke!"

Amidst billowing dust, two torrents surged across the plains, their warhorses galloping without pause, launching a relentless and fearless attack on each other.

At the same time, the mages on both sides seized the opportunity and unleashed a series of magic circles above the battle formation.

The magic circle tilted in mid-air, unleashing a barrage of piercing spells known for their long attack range, bursting forth amidst a cacophony of blood.

A crimson light descended, and in a single exchange, dozens of knights were annihilated by Paul's attack. The chain reaction unleashed terrifying energy, and Paul, amidst a rain of blood, defiantly sent several heads flying towards the central army formation with a single upward thrust of his sword.

Sophia activated her flight magic, the wind whipping her mage robes, and a complex magic circle unfolded, spraying out a large amount of acid towards Paul.

Paul flashed, breaking through the afterimages, and rolled away, clearing out the surrounding enemy troops, while the warhorse behind him let out a miserable neigh.

The two exchanged a glance unconsciously, and Sofia nodded and smiled, letting Paul know who his next opponent was.

The Magicians' Guild finally couldn't hold back any longer. If Paul had known Sophia was here, he would have brought Dane with him.

If these two met, they'd definitely fight to the death.

The Southern Army, wielding shields as thick as city walls, began to advance, dodging the knights entangled on their flanks, and heading straight for Luna.

Luna tightened the reins to calm the restless warhorse and ordered the assembled light cavalry to intercept it.

In the past, light cavalrymen really didn't have any good ways to deal with these shield guards, but now it's different. As long as they throw out Molotov cocktails, even the thickest iron armor can't stop the high temperature of several hundred degrees.

On the vast battlefield, the Central Army immediately changed formation, and a legion of nearly a thousand adventurers quickly stepped out from the ranks, also launching an attack on Luna's location.

Instead of engaging in battle, Luna waited until the entire knightly order had left the city before raising her sword and summoning them to surge towards the flank of the battlefield to support Paul's attack.

Compared to the protracted battle on the main battlefield, the fighting on the flanks became even more intense. The adventurer legion, which followed closely behind, changed direction and split into several small teams, resolutely joining the flank battle.

Lisa, who remained at the rear, and her shield guards also targeted the adventurer legion.

Lisa gripped her staff tightly and said coldly, "Whatever they do, protect the young lady!"
