After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

Paul's plan was simple: to set up the battlefield in the Eastern Territory, or even the Central Region, and to launch a massive war of annihilation by leveraging the strategic depth of the human kingdom.

After quickly taking over the Earldom of Eris, the plan was divided into three steps.

The first step was for the allied forces to enter the Elven Kingdom from the Earl's territory, using the terrain to their advantage to block the undead army and buy time for the mountain elves to retreat to safety.

The second step is that if the Undead Legion does not give up the pursuit, the allied forces need to take turns covering the retreat, leading the Undead Legion into the Eastern Territory, and then from south to north, continuously wearing down the Undead Legion while disintegrating the military power of the Eastern Territory.

Third, the mountain elves will retreat from the Eastern Territory into the Northern Territory, and the Third Division will head south to support the Allied Forces and begin encircling the Undead Legion. If necessary, the Second Division will also arrive from the Central District.

The Second Division and Commander Kate will not let this opportunity for revenge pass them by.

The entire campaign is expected to begin in mid-June and end at the end of August. At that time, other units of the Northern Army, regardless of whether they have won the siege of the royal city, will be able to spare some troops to support Luna.

The next step is to further refine the plan. As early as last night, both sides sent messengers, so the discussion will mainly revolve around whether to send an advance force.

Many things are easier said than done; no one dares to guarantee that the mountain spirits can hold out until reinforcements arrive.

After all, the latest information they had about the mountain spirits was still from half a month ago.

Serfland wanted to persuade Luna to order the Second Division and the Knights to abandon their siege of the royal city and come to the aid of the elven battlefield immediately.

Since they're both conquering territory anyway, this alliance between the two races can not only accelerate the process of unifying the Northern Territory and taking over the Eastern Territory, but also eliminate the threat of the Undead Legion—a perfect two-birds-with-one-stone move.

But Luna believes that before the goddess personally brings about extinction, unifying humanity into a single entity is the most important thing right now.

The start of this civil war was meaningless in the first place; a mere puppet on the throne, with only a body, issued orders and triggered the war.

The nobles below also formed a bunch of mediocre armies, lacking excellent generals and unified command. Many soldiers died on the battlefield in a daze, and in the end, they would still murmur the rumor that their own brothers were cannibals.

The Central District's overall strength had already been greatly weakened due to the plague and several outbreaks of curses and calamities.

Now, just as the Imperial Guards retreated, those damned nobles threw the deceived villagers into the battlefield.

Just as Luna was worrying, on the outskirts of the royal city, Commander Kate, who was also troubled by the peasant army, let out a heavy sigh.

Perhaps due to the heavy casualties among the peasant army, an epidemic broke out on the battlefield in the royal city, as expected.

At first, Kate thought it was just a common spring flu, until the sick soldiers developed bloody pustules on their skin.

Kate, who urgently ordered a 50-mile retreat and established isolation wards according to the epidemic prevention manual, had no choice but to halt the attack due to the helplessness of the army doctor and the nuns, and at the same time sought help from Lady Janet.

The news quickly reached Ice City, and Duke Oswald took it very seriously. He ordered Janice to prepare medical supplies while sending thousands of new recruits to support the Second Division.

Having understood the Duke's intentions, Kate replenished these new recruits in the front-line companies, ordering them to abandon the conquest of cities and instead wage guerrilla warfare in the vast countryside.

In short, we must correct the Duke's image and extend the good policies of the Northern Territory to every inch of the Central Territory.

Both sides have now ceased hostilities due to the outbreak of the plague, but Kate is determined to wear down the royal city as soon as possible.

As a result, Company Commander Erion, who had just occupied a small rural village, was awakened by a violent shaking of the earth before he could even get a proper rest.

He shook his dizzy head, rushed outside to observe the situation, and then stared at the eastern sky, remaining silent for several hours.

It was dawn, but only half of it was bright.

The veterans handed him a jug of ale, and after taking a sip, Erian felt he should go back and get some more sleep.

It was the arrival of several new recruits that brought him back to reality.

"Reporting to the company commander, this subordinate is Private Sean, from the eastern agricultural region."

Arian chuckled. He too came from the eastern agricultural region, where the soil was very fertile… Gradually, Arian's smile faded. If the sun remained in that damned position, this year's Northern Territory would likely not only suffer reduced grain production, but also an exceptionally cold winter.

If this continues, people will die.

Eryon's concerns were not unfounded. With the royal city as the center, his company was located to the west of the city, so the sky he saw was darker than what Luna and the others saw.

It won't affect people's travel, but it will definitely affect the growth of crops.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight began to fade and night fell.

The next morning at nine o'clock, realizing that the sun really could no longer rise, Aerion finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He assigned the company's affairs to his squad leaders, mounted his horse, and hurriedly headed to the division headquarters with only a messenger.

One problem after another arose. Five days later, Erian, who was on the move, arrived at the Second Division headquarters almost one after the other.

Arian noticed that the light here was brighter than at his starting point.

After giving his report, he entered the central command tent and found his division commander being reprimanded. The person sitting in the main seat was none other than Lady Janet, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Lady Jenny's expression was very serious. When Erión was glanced at by those emerald green eyes, he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to breathe.

"Where did you learn such pettiness? I reminded you in my letter that in order to curb the spread of the plague, we must also consider the villagers as a whole."

"Only if everyone receives treatment will the plague stop spreading. Look at you, so many medicinal herbs are about to mold, and you still won't share them with the villagers?"

Kate stood at attention, obediently remaining silent.

He was only thinking about preparing for the worst, fearing that his soldiers would be infected with the plague and there would be no medicine available, so he didn't care about the overall situation.

Seeing his stubborn refusal to admit his mistake, Jenny sighed, holding her teacup.

"Alright, leave the plague prevention to me. You immediately recall all the troops and order them to cease their attack."

"Yes! Cease the attack and gather the troops!"

Kate rushed out to give the orders and returned to the tent a few minutes later, bringing Jenny a plate of fruit.

Jenny looked at him intently, but Kate remained silent. Jenny understood his meaning: he hoped his soldiers would recover as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, as long as you get timely treatment, you can basically recover from this plague."

"Yes, thank you for everything, Your Excellency."

Jenny nodded and moved on to the next heavy topic—the sun that never rose.

She also noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky while traveling south by ship, and at that time she only had time to write a letter to report it to His Excellency the Duke.

Because Jenny knew that if the sun could only provide this much light and heat in the future, the Demon Kingdom, which was even colder than the Northern Territory, would definitely take action.

Winter will be even longer, and the Northern Army cannot afford to get bogged down in the quagmire of the Central District. They must extricate themselves as soon as possible to deal with the demon invasion.

"Lady Jane, Commander," Erian interrupted their discussion about the sun and respectfully reported, "I have discovered that the further east we go, the more sunlight and heat we can obtain. Does this mean that we must change our direction of attack and take the opportunity to seize the lands of the Eastern Territory?"

"In that case, His Excellency the Duke's theory is correct."

Jenny was slightly surprised at the thought that the earth really was a sphere. "Your suggestion is excellent, Company Commander Erian, but we still need to wait for His Excellency the Duke's orders."

"My lord, this matter should be handled sooner rather than later. If we wait until the central district also realizes what's happening, we may find it difficult to extricate ourselves."

Kate is known for her quick wit, especially when it comes to situations where the right thing to do needs to be done, but someone has to take the blame.

"Miss Luna is currently in the Eastern Territory. As long as we rush over there to meet up with her and then persuade her to take over the entire Eastern Territory, everything will fall into place naturally."
