  The power of the sceptre is not stupid, if the armed forces of Feilongcui have already been so strong.

  However, Baron Totti is always wandering around in Feicui, and from time to time flies to Duoluote at night. Where can hide so many pairs of old rivers and lakes eyes? Several powers guessed and estimated the general reason, roughly got a **not off by much.

  News from the Dolores side has also become clear, Hu of the Long Feng Mercenary Corps has already begun pre-war mobilization. As a large mercenary corps, Long Feng's mercenary structure is extremely perfect, with each part having replacement and rotation periods for rest. Now even these resting mercenaries have been recalled, it can be seen that Long Feng will indeed make a big move.

  Shortly after, Gatuso Danze, the head of the Danze family and the commander of the Dragon Vortex Mercenary Corps, also began to openly declare his battle cry: "Advance into the Front Pillar Donau Great Wilderness, for revenge on behalf of Heavy Armor Scythe Hand!"

  But unfortunately, regarding the internal military configuration of the Ryūjin mercenary corps that Viscount Firenze most wanted to know about, Marquis Cardenpello was unable to investigate clearly, which made Liu extremely angry.

  Liu Zhen didn't need to guess, the master knew that the strength of these humans was absolutely not as simple as what they saw on the surface. As long as they were human, they always liked to hide something.

  It's not that Old Card didn't try his best, Marquis Caperro really did his best to lay out the investigation and gather information, but the Dragon Whirlwind Mercenary Corps is a military organization after all, with its own strict confidentiality procedures, and their camp is also outside Dolote City, within 100 miles of the camp are all military control areas, it's just too hard to get accurate news.

  Compared to Liu Zhenyang, the old card's Xialv family is the most eager for the Danze family to fall. The battle of Feilongcuo was not won, and compared to the Kingdom of Bimeng, it was just a small territory that was lost. There are at least 800 such territories in the Kingdom of Bimeng. The army of the two provinces can still attack from both sides with ease; for the Xialv family, if this battle is lost, the title of Grand Duke will fly away forever.

  Two weeks have passed, which should be enough time for the Dragon Vortex Mercenary Corps to prepare. However, the Danze family, despite recalling all mercenaries on vacation and shouting slogans, has not made any moves, leaving even the fairy dragon lady puzzled as to why.

  Robbie had assembled two hundred of the Wolf Riders in the Salt Flats Forest and they arrived on the sixteenth day as well. Robbie, along with the recruits and conscripts, plus those who came to Jadeite, spent only that short amount of time, which was almost unbelievable - even riding good warhorses, mercenaries would need at least half a month just to trek from the wilderness to Jadeite.

  Wolfrider's horse is a giant wolf that runs on the grassland, although it is not as sturdy as a warhorse in terms of body shape. However, its long-distance endurance is indeed more excellent than that of a warhorse.

  It did not escape the notice of Vienya Darsam that Robert Bagyo had already reported to the military department of Southeastern Province about the destruction of seven outposts by humans, but since the strategic mission of the wolf tribe in Southeastern Province was only defensive and not offensive. Therefore, the military department had no right to mobilize troops to launch a retaliatory war against the Principality of Dolore before verifying the news of aggression.

  Small-scale border frictions often occur, and generally, it is covered up. This is a common practice. In the case of the war in Western Bhiman Kingdom, behind the Principality of Dolotte stood the powerful military empire of San Francisco, which was one of the strongest on the continent. Even Wolf, who had always advocated for blood revenge, knew that he had to endure it this time.

  The Southeast Military Department has submitted the investigation report and memorandum to Wang City. Now it's up to His Majesty the King and the Council of Elders to make a decision. According to the Great Shaman Wei An, if they let the king and the council drag their feet, analyzing and discussing, as long as the other party doesn't take action, it will take at least until next spring to get a result.

  But Wolfpack are Wolves, they are not timid Foxes nor slow-moving bureaucrats.

  The hot-blooded wolf cavalry on the southeast border, with the tacit consent of the military officers, responded to Robbie's call. Two hundred sharp-bladed and superbly skilled wolf warriors spontaneously organized themselves, taking advantage of the night, invaded the borders of the Dolotte Kingdom, destroying fourteen human border outposts in one night. At dawn, when they retreated, on the horizon was a small mountain made of skulls and a giant banner written in blood: "Blood debts can only be repaid with double the amount of blood!"

  These wolf cavalrymen were the brave warriors who swept across the human border with Robbie, and after completing their mission, they came to Feicui under Robbie's leadership as a pre-arranged reinforcement force. Two hundred fierce and powerful wolf cavalrymen arrived without any casualties.

  Robbie brought not only two hundred wolf riders, but also two Saruman priests and fifty fierce tamed wolves. Their arrival greatly enhanced the military strength of Leng Qing and ensured that the combat power of this group of people could be doubled.

  The equipment of these Wolf Cavalrymen was really too shoddy, with saddles that were even rougher than wooden saddles, and long knives and leather armor that were full of gaps. Even the many generation-transmitted family heirloom knives of the Wolfs were like this. Just like the Temple Knights, the Wolfs' awkwardness quickly turned into envy, then into jealousy. Even the weapons and armor of the Phalanx Slave Warriors made them feel a great deal of envy.

  When the Lord of Falun brought them to the arsenal where a large number of weapons and armor were stored, these mercenary cavalrymen were like hungry wolves that had not eaten for a month facing a thousand heads of tender lambs, as long as they could carry, they took as much as they could, so that when they got back on their horses, even the giant wolves of the wilderness couldn't get up.

  Liu Zhen launched a campaign to mobilize the people of Dao Shan, and overnight, they hastily wove a batch of rattan armor, which was presented to these wolf riders and giant tortoises. The rattan armor of Fei Lengcui was also replaced, and this batch of rattan armor was standard composite armor, with each suit containing a sheet of blood gel pressed into paper-like thinness. The elasticity of the blood gel combined with the rattan armor made the front defense capability of Fei Lengcui's second-generation rattan armor even more formidable due to the increased buffering effect---------------This was also the intention of the Ghostly General.

  Time passed day by day, and on the 19th day, the Dragonfly Mercenary Corps finally began its large-scale military mobilization.

  This message was brought by the Marquis Capero himself, and in these few days of waiting, the Lord of Poggio has already imprisoned Count Toti again. If the Dragoons do not arrive, Count Toti's life will certainly follow his brother Casano to "plant water lilies" in the Sangue River.

  The news brought by Lord Kape is not good. This time, the Dragon Storm Mercenary Corps has not only mobilized all its forces, but also greatly enhanced its military strength. Moreover, they have borrowed a guard unit from "Good Color King" Zhang Bolin, and this guard unit is the strongest infantry Silver Base Warrior of the Saint Francis Empire.

  The news of the Sharba family's hunting trip on the wasteland and their return with a beautiful woman had already spread throughout the Dolotte Kingdom, possibly even to the ears of the Duke himself. The crystal ball that was intentionally circulated by him, as well as the memory crystal ball that recorded the beautiful woman's image, were somehow seen by a curious wandering poet, who drew an incredibly lifelike oil painting of her. This painting followed the footsteps of the wandering poets and the Canon piano, flowing from every treehouse bar in Dolotte to the entire Aegean continent at a speed that could only be described as frightening, much like the Black Death and the plague.

  This wonderful event, of course, did not escape the attention of "Lustful Prince" Zhang Bolin. The prince of the Saint Francis Empire, after viewing all the images recorded in the memory crystal ball, took the initiative to contact the Dragon Vortex Mercenary Group, who were eager to take action, and even dispatched a unit of his own Silver Base Guards to participate in the hunt for the beautiful woman.

  "The Lustful King's" only demand is: aside from beauties. Bring me the live Piggu tribe's leader, Bimon Lord.

  Chamberlain added: I want a big elephant with no nose under his crotch!

  The sentence also spread out at the speed of plague, and good things made the poets guess the intention of the king immediately.

  The magical illusionary images in the memory crystal ball that has been circulating among the people have a total of ten volumes, and that Viscount also has one volume of clear records. It's just that everyone has forgotten him because of the appearance of the peerless beauty, but the wandering poets still haven't forgotten the viscount's appearance---------people in this line generally have extraordinary memory.

  This Migu leader may not be very handsome, but his messy blond hair covers up the originally ferocious nose ring and that fierce muscle. The wild chest hair, as well as those knife-sharp eyes and the tattoos that reach to the extreme, are thoroughly savage, savagely making one's heart skip a beat, more so than Meng Ge, it can't be compared, at first glance, you know, absolutely a **machine**, Migu tribe's abilities in this aspect are still publicly recognized.

  The licentious king was not only fond of women, but his reputation for being infatuated with male beauty was also renowned throughout the entire Aegean continent.

  The elite infantry of San Francisco, the Silver Base Warriors, were a battalion-sized unit composed entirely of handpicked, robust men. It was said that the most handsome warriors in this battalion all had an affair with the prince, and it was also said that any warrior who had an ambiguous relationship with the prince would be tattooed with an animal pattern on his lower abdomen as a memento.

  The upper class of all empires in the Aegean continent has been enthusiastically discussing a topic for a long time, that is, Prince Chamberlain of San Francisco this month, he used Kou Dan to dye his long fingernails and lips with a charming color, applied the most expensive perfume from the Kalan Empire on his chest, combed up the most popular noble hairstyle, wore a sexy long skirt made of the finest silk from the Far East and the seven-color tail feathers of the wetland pheasant, and then spent a romantic night with a certain white-silver-based knight, after which this brave man was tattooed with a rumor about a tiger or leopard without a tail.

  He assigned a personal guard from the "Tornado" mercenary corps to participate in the hunt, and said the above words, with the same purpose as Chamberlain's heart -------------------- everyone knows.

  After Marquis Capello revealed this news, the entire Florence would have been shaken by laughter rather than being consolidated by a great fire.

  Even the newcomer Yuelna couldn't help it, laughing so hard she was bent over him, rubbing her chest vigorously.

  Guo Guo laughed so hard she rolled her eyes and almost choked.

  "Damn it! 'Three flat ones are not as good as one round one' has come to my head." Liu Zhen was muttering in extreme depression.

  "Three flat ones are not as good as one round one — Three flat ones are not as good as one round one—" The parrot learned another strange tone and accent phrase.

  "What does it mean?" asked Chunpu and Bimont, while the two studious fairy dragons also widened their beautiful eyes.

  Guo Guo had a wicked grin on his face, touched his chest, lifted the leopard skin apron, and pointed to his crotch. He turned around, raised his fat buttocks, and just as he was about to point to his pink anus with his small paws, he was poked in the head by Liu Zhen's finger.

  "You little scamp!" Liu Zhenhong gritted his teeth, his face twisted in a scowl as he cursed the little beast who was jumping around with its butt exposed.

  A big crowd also counts as an old river and lake. At this scene, the complexion couldn't help but turn into the color of red earth slope.

  "It's really whatever you worship, there's a corresponding demon pet." The worshippers could only say this in their hearts. After all, the Frost Snow Fox in front of them was "unbeatable in the Northeast". They had to be careful.

  The delay of the Dragonfly Mercenaries this time was not entirely due to the reasons that Marquis Capello had heard.

  The head of the Danze family, Gatoso Danze, was a veteran of the Pompeii campaign and although not a graduate of a regular military academy, he had extensive experience in commanding troops on the battlefield which made him absolutely old and steady.

  The beauty is definitely worth fighting for. After all, even Prince Chamberlain has spoken out, and 100 Silver Base Warriors have been dispatched. If this battle is won, Princess Dolores will be in hand, there's no reason not to go.

  But after all, it's war. Complacency is tantamount to self-destruction, and a seasoned commander like Taktarov would never make such a mistake.

  The Sharba family has already made a move, and Galiso cannot ignore the reaction of the Kingdom of Bimon. Although the Kingdom of Bimon is currently at war with the desert humans, there are still dozens of legions and 20,000 troops in the entire southeastern and northeastern provinces that need to be observed for a while to see how the Kingdom of Bimon reacts.

  What's more, the Sharuba family has hired a total of 3,000 people to hunt in the Donau wilderness. The ace infantry of the Dragon Whirlwind Mercenary Corps - two companies of heavy-armed giant scythe-wielding soldiers have also been employed by the Sharuba family. Being able to devour such a powerful military force is not something that can be underestimated, and it's enough to make Gatuso take notice of the strength of the Mongolian territory.

  According to the Marquis de Capello, his heavy cavalry was defeated by the hippopotamus warriors of the Bimont River on the ice river, so Gattuso decided to wait until the cold tide half a month later before taking action. Once the icy period arrives, the ice layer of the Sangyou River will be two fingers deep, and the hippopotamus warriors of this Bimont territory will no longer be able to exert their strength.

  This is just Gatuso being cautious, and the foundation of the Tornado Mercenaries is also very deep.

  The Danze family, although active in the Grand Duchy of Dolore, was a branch of a fallen noble lineage of the Empire of Pombia. Gattuso himself had experience serving in the Imperial Army of Pombia in his youth.

  Since the Dragon Storm Mercenary Corps had been through many years of hardships in Dolote, they finally sat on the first chair of the mercenary country. The royal family of the Pompeii Empire also gradually noticed the Danze family.

  San Francisco and Pompeii are two powerful military nations on the Aegean continent, with the San Francisco Empire occupying most of the Carremdo Plain, the largest grain-producing area on the Aegean continent, while the Pompeii Empire is located in the Thunder Mountain Range, rich in mineral resources.

  The Pomb Empire is located in the northern country, a standard Viking nation. For countless years, they were notorious robbers on the continent, except for the only place they didn't dare to provoke - the Traviif warrior state at the northern end of the Thunder Mountains. Other nations on the Aegean continent had all suffered from their raids many years ago. Although they have now established a well-organized country, their customs are still fierce and they don't think much of the southern farmers like Saint Francis. The windmills and grain farms on the Kairam Great Plains make them feel uneasy, as they come from a harsh land where even brewing is prohibited due to fear of wasting food. How can the Pomb Empire not harbor resentment, with the word "plunder" constantly turning in their minds?

  The countries on the continent of Qinyu, only when the king is crowned and has been baptized by the Pope can they add a "Holy" to their country name. The Holy Francisco Empire has always considered itself an old powerful country, so it naturally feels that the Pompeii Empire, which doesn't even have a "Holy" in front of its country name, is a barbarian descendant that occupies the rich mineral resources of the Thunder Mountains, and has a strong desire to take control.

  This kind of thing is also seen in the Aegean continent's human nations, and everyone knows it. However, between the two countries, they at least have a marital relationship, with princesses marrying into each other's families, so for now, the superficial conflicts are not suitable to be put on the table.

  The location of the Grand Duchy of Dolotte is just in the buffer zone between two countries, and the Danze family with Pompeii bloodline has the possibility of competing for the position of Grand Duke of Dolotte. How could the Pompeii Empire not intervene? In fact, the two medium-sized squads of the Dragon Whirlwind Mercenary Group were established under the secret support of the Pompeii Empire, although their equipment is still not as strong as that of the regular heavy infantrymen of the Pompeii Empire, but they are also an extremely powerful force.

  Openly supporting the usurper is out of the question, after all, the Kingdom of Dolotte is also a vassal state of San Francisco, and it's too embarrassing to be too obvious. Especially since there is a lustful prince in San Francisco who is in charge here, this is also why during the struggle for the throne between the Danze family and the Sharuba family, they never intervened. If not for the lustful prince, even if there were ten Sharuba families, they would have been crushed, and even if there was a hundred-year-old vampire, it would be useless.

  This opportunity to seize the throne gave the Pompeian Empire a good chance to intervene, openly supporting was not possible, but secretly doing something was absolutely no problem.

  With the support of the Pompeii Empire, 500 Traviif mercenary warriors were immediately rented to Dolote and would be under the command of the Dragon Whirlwind Mercenary Group. Forty swift eagle knights and two court magicians from the Pompeii Empire also secretly flew over the mountains to help the Danze family.

  The combat and destructive power of the Berserkers are renowned throughout the continent, their land warfare is comparable to that of the Dragonstorm Mercenary Group. The Wyvern is a flying beast born from the combination of a Griffin and a Mare, its temperament is easier to tame compared to the ferocious wild Griffin. Riding on the giant Wyverns, the Pompeii Scouts are also considered a secret military force of the Pompeii Empire.

  As the fairy dragon said, apart from the Kingdom of Bimon which lacks strategic vision, the military powers on the continent have always had an air force, even if it was just a token force with little actual combat effectiveness.

  The Pompeii Empire had only fifty Griffin Knights and ten Court Mages in total, and this trip was also a costly one.

  With the support of the Pompeii Empire, Cartuso naturally had great confidence in this expedition, especially with the addition of half a regiment of crazy warriors, 100 silver-based warriors and two court grand mages, which made Cartuso take a big reassurance pill.

  Haha, two great magicians! One of them is actually an alchemy magician, a master who operates two metal magic puppets!

  However, as an old hand, Gattuso did not forget to ask the church of the Kingdom of Dolotte to send priests and chaplains to join the expedition. After all, his son Tomasi was serving in the Knights of the Golden Palm of the Holy See, and someone didn't let him expire. It wasn't for such a ridiculous idea as eliminating violence and bringing peace that Gattuso had pulled strings to get his son into the Sacred Knights.

  The goddess of fortune seemed to have opened her beautiful eyes to the Tornado Mercenaries overnight, Gattuso's son, Tomasi Danze, a holy knight serving in the Vatican, and his mentor, Saint Paul's Golden Palm Holy Knight "Sword Cloak Knight" Frank Lampard, suddenly appeared in Dorote.

  This time it was just a coincidence.

  As the Holy Knights of the Vatican who maintain justice, Lampard and Thomas have come to Karim, the Great Plains, to eradicate an "Aknaseth" family. The "Aknaseth", also known as the "Scorpion Dragon", was originally a super-tiered magical beast that lived in the dark underground world, only slightly lower than the Hell Black Dragon. One alone is already extremely difficult to deal with, let alone a family with two adult scorpion dragons and thirty young scorpions. Moreover, the male Aknaseth is a terrifying "Three-Tailed Hook Scorpion Dragon".

  This Aknasdre dragon family, since accidentally surfacing three months ago, has caused a huge stir with its venom and powerful physique. The several small kingdoms in the central region of the Karemudo Plains are powerless against them, so the Church has specially dispatched ten Holy See to eradicate these evil creatures. (The Church's reaction is quite bureaucratic ~ haha)

  After a fierce battle, the Knights of the Silver Hand succeeded in eradicating this scorpion dragon family at the cost of four Templar sacrifices. Since they were close to Dolores, they came back to take a look.

  It is worth mentioning that there are only two Dragon Knights in the entire St. Paul's Court, and the mount of the Lampard Holy Knight is a Thunder-type Golden Dragon.

  For the arrival of a Holy Knight, especially a Dragon Knight, the entire Dolotte was in an uproar. Not only did the Red Archbishop of the regional church personally come out to welcome him, but even Prince Chamberlain, who looked down on everyone, had to put aside his haughty attitude and show some courtesy. The Holy Knights were famous for their handsome appearance. However, Prince Chamberlain didn't have the audacity to be rude to a high-ranking member of the Sacred Temple. At most, he just swallowed hard and indulged in some dark fantasies in his mind.

  They went to the Donau Great Wilderness to teach a lesson to the uncivilized beastmen who had not been enlightened. Of course, Thomas Knight did not say a second word, because the beastmen worshipped the heretical god - War God Kampas. So Lampard and the remaining two Holy Knights and two priests not only did not oppose it, but also seemed eager to try. The Vatican has been busy fighting heresy in recent years, and now it's finally settled. The famous Bimon Sanctuary is locked up for a long time. Among humans, it is even more rumored that one of the fire phoenix sacrifices is comparable to the Dragon Knights. This makes the Holy Halls have a bit of a competitive heart. In those years, Kochi, who was alone in challenging ten dragon knights, still managed to defeat five of them.

  Due to the efforts of Prince Chamberlain and some socialites from the Principality of Dolotte, the six Holy Halls slightly delayed their journey. Leaving a little later, this time to destroy the evil "Akanasutēru", several Holy Halls were more or less injured, just needing time to recover, anyway, Thomas's holy knight's mount is a winged flying horse, and Lampard's holy knight's mount is a giant dragon, catching up with the Dragon Vortex Mercenary Corps to participate in the battle, it's only a matter of hours.

  Having received the letter from Marquis Capello, Florence also intensified its deployment. Some of the catapults and bed crossbows that had been seized earlier were also pulled over from Razorback Mountain and installed at the top of the high altar, precisely to guard against the famous Silver Base Warriors.

  However, the sling required stones to be somewhat scarce, and the rocks by the river were too fragile, not very suitable for carving stone bullets, which made a group of skunks who came to operate the slings difficult.

  The lord gave them another lesson, the cold tide had arrived, and in one night, three feet of ice had formed, which was ammunition. After one evening, on top of a red soil slope more than 200 blades long and 100 blades wide, there was a large horn-shaped pile full of this ice bullet. Daisy learned from one to three, and again poured a thick layer of water on the surface of the red soil slope, condensing an icy armor, turning Feilong into an ice city after one night. The beautiful Songtanni still carved out the shape of a crown around it, which was both beautiful and could be used as a sculpture.

  Haha ~ Ice Throne! Liu Zhen was shocked.

  There is a large hollow between the top of the slope and the fourth layer of caves, which was originally used as a ventilation shaft and no one dared to live in it. The lord had a thick bamboo shed built on top, and moved over the Cowton giant bird and two oil melons and a golden locust tree that were planted in large flower pots. This time, he is preparing to use bombing to give the opponent a warning shot.

  Neither of the two groups had expected the other to have such strong strength, and they were both secretly pleased.

  Liu Zhen and Guo stood proudly on the vast, ancient grassland, each with an unlit cigar clenched between their teeth, braving the howling wind and facing the unknown fate ahead, their eyes gleaming fiercely.
