Great Nobleman

Because the undead forces in Rios continent suddenly became powerful in their actions in the snowy mountains.

Not only were the military stations established by the Elf Forest on the outskirts of the Snowy Mountains destroyed, but various actions were no longer secretive.

Considering that our own forces are still being mobilized and have not yet been fully deployed.

The Human Alliance, Dwarf Township, and Elf Forest have also become slightly more cautious in their military operations around the snowy mountains.

Of course, their course of action did not change.

All parties are still consolidating and strengthening the defenses on the edge of the Snowy Mountains, and at the same time continue to establish outposts in the outer areas of the Snowy Mountains.

——Prevent enemies from directly threatening their hinterland, while also continuing to explore the movements of the undead forces in Rios continent.

Soon, three days passed by in a hurry.

This afternoon, after the daily practice time was over, Brand summoned the empty shadow screen and connected it to the war information room, and began to check the latest situation of the snowy mountain battlefield today.

A few days ago, the Elf Forest's station on the eastern outskirts of the Snowy Mountains was attacked by the undead.

There has never been another offensive and defensive battle on the same scale as that one.

In contrast, small-scale encounters and battles in the wild broke out more and more frequently.

Occasionally their scouts encounter hostile undead in the wilds.

Sometimes, their strong men and legions take the initiative to go deep into the dangerous areas of the snowy mountains and engage in active confrontations with the enemy.

At this point in time, their defense lines on the edges and periphery of the snowy mountains are getting stronger day by day.

[The Sky of the Dead] has also completely covered the core area of ​​the Snowy Mountains and is expanding to further surrounding areas.

In addition, according to some detected intelligence, their enemies seem to be building defenses outside the core area of ​​the Snowy Mountains.

I don't know whether this is using the snowy mountains as a base camp to operate at full strength, or whether it is simply to resist their fierce counterattack in the future.

After reading the information for a while, he turned around and saw Catherine, who was almost stuck in time coming to find him as usual.

Brand waved his hand to disperse the empty shadow screen, stood up with a smile and said:

"How about we go visit Sister Sonia today?"

After coming over and hugging Brand's left arm, Catherine smiled and said:

"The master has the final say!"

Not long after, Sonia was in the temporary office.

While eating dessert, Sonia also melancholy told Brand and Catherine, who came to express condolences, about the recent situation abroad:

“Things around our empire are fine so far, but things are not going well in some other countries further south.

An incident that happened today almost caused big trouble. If the blockade hadn't been timely, the morale of the Human Alliance's eastern garrison might have been greatly affected. "

After hearing this, Brand was surprised for a moment and then thought about it:

“According to the news coming back from Free Iris stations abroad.

Because the snowy mountains have gradually become the third battlefield in the continental war, a lot of chaos has occurred in many countries in the eastern part of the Human Alliance.

Did something major happen related to it? "

Sonia nodded and explained:

"Under the pessimistic expectation that the subsequent war will have a huge negative impact.

People and even nobles from many countries adjacent to the snow-capped mountains are now evacuating their property toward safer countries further west.

And this morning, the current Grand Duke of Platt, located on the eastern edge of the Human Alliance, abandoned his principality and took his family to leave for a safer area.

Because the Grand Duke abandoned the country and no one took his place, the entire Principality of Platt was in chaos.

The defense line on the edge of the eastern snowy mountains also quickly became unstable.

If it weren't for the military generals of the nearby kingdoms who just happened to lead a team to inspect the eastern defense line of the Principality of Platt, they would immediately have people maintain the situation.

There may have been a large number of deserters there now, and the defense line collapsed without an attack. "

"The grand duke of a principality just ran away?" After hearing such a thing, he was unconsciously surprised for a moment.

Brand thought again:

“It doesn’t seem to be incomprehensible, everyone will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Under the threat of the undead in Rios continent, his status as the Grand Duke of the principality is obviously harmful to him.

Once the enemy launches a large-scale attack, he, the leader, and his family will bear the brunt, and may even suffer assassinations.

And based on the general strength of the principality, it is difficult for them to resist the methods of Rios Continent. "

Sonia shook her head and said:

“This is indeed true from the Grand Duke’s perspective.

But then others have to shoulder more of the pressure.

Since the traces of the undead were discovered until now, most of the materials and conventional troops provided by other countries to support the Eastern countries are still on the way and have not yet reached the western part of the Snowy Mountains.

Therefore, so far, except for the northwest area of ​​​​the Snowy Mountains, which our empire is mainly responsible for, the defense along the southern Snowy Mountains is mainly responsible for the nearby kingdoms and principalities.

In the past two days, the movements of the undead have become more frequent, and small-scale encounters and battles have broken out many times in the wild. There may be a war at some point.

If the conventional armies of various countries are unable to actively resist due to low morale, then our Human Alliance's behavior of setting up defense lines along the snowy mountains will be completely meaningless.

The undead army can also easily directly threaten the ordinary people of our human alliance.

For our Human Alliance, now is a critical time because many troops have not yet arrived at the battlefield.

Any behavior that fails to keep up may lead the future war into the abyss.

His behavior obviously disregards the overall situation and even betrays the support of the people of the Principality of Prat.

We are ready to jointly arrest the former Grand Duke within the Human Alliance and seize all his property.

Since he is unwilling to take responsibility and give up his identity like a coward.

Then everything he has obtained because of his identity should belong to other people in the Principality of Prat! "

Hearing this, Brand also nodded and agreed:

"There is some truth in it! "

After discussing some interesting topics with Sonia, and asking the servants to bring various foods and send benefits to Sonia's subordinates.

Brand said goodbye to her, and walked around with Catherine, and went to see Ivy who was leading people to make secret medicine, and Chris who was handling official business.

Afterwards, because it was still early, the sun would not set for a while.

Brand and Catherine rode the white deer out of the castle and strolled along the peaceful streets of Morning Flower Harbor, showing a gentle smile to his subjects from time to time.

Although the situation in the Snowy Mountains has indeed changed They were very nervous, and it would not be unexpected even if the war started tonight.

However, after a day or two of tension, Brand has now let it go.

Anyway, they have basically done their best to prepare.

The next step is nothing more than waiting for the opportunity and then fighting a big battle with Rios Continent.

As the sun gradually set and night fell.

Brand and Catherine returned to the castle.

And that night, when he and the ladies were preparing to rest.

A shocking news was announced in the War Intelligence Room.

——The Undead Calamity broke out in the Principality of Pratt!
