Chapter 265: War on the Eastern Front
A month and a half ago, on the eastern front of the Oberic Empire.
In the first month of spring, the northern frontier of the Oberic Empire was still grayish-yellow in color. The melted snow moistened the earth, but tiny green buds had not yet fully emerged.
The 100,000-strong army and 3,000 warships of Fufu Port were heading towards the Oberic Empire at high speed.
Together with 50,000 extraterritorial demon insects, they bypassed the northern defense line of the Oberik Empire at a low altitude of less than 50 meters above the sea surface, and landed on the eastern plains of Oberik along the beach at night.
After unloading 100,000 troops, the warships hurriedly returned to Love Harbor.
The well-prepared coalition forces of the Oberic Empire set up small bunkers in advance, and stationed there were mostly forest elf longbowmen and a mercenary corps composed of mid-level magic sorcerers.
Although the sky within 13 kilometers on the eastern front was empty, the 14th Dragon Cavalry Regiment had already been ready for battle.
The landing army of the Coreroman Empire quietly came to the nearby village in the dark night.
But when they entered the house, they were dumbfounded.
There was not a single ordinary person in the village that had some signs of life and the prosperous town nearby.
Deep in the woods, the army of the Coreroman Empire, which had been lurking for a long time, approached step by step. At the same time, the unusual movement in the sky made many people feel a touch of gray depression.
Until the fireworks of dragon breath bombs were heard in the sky, and more than three hundred magic insects fell.
The ambush on the ground was also gone in an instant. They walked into the familiar streets and eliminated tens of thousands of enemy troops who were in doubt. The follow-up troops, which had not yet reached the towns and villages, discovered an entire dragon knight regiment in the sky and took shelter in the nearby woods.
But the dragon riders were very familiar with the surrounding terrain and environment, and they discovered the enemy troops ambushing in the forest by flying low.
Captain Frostwolf ordered an attack. Now that they were deeply involved in a sneak attack on the Oberic Empire, the army led by Captain Frostwolf had no way to retreat.
However, facing the powerful force of the Dragon Riders, the army of hundreds of thousands of demon insects could not escape to assist the troops on the ground.
The east coast area is all plains, and the unsprouted spring wheat fields have become a battlefield.
The Corey Roman Legion, which was at a disadvantage at the beginning, had no time to familiarize themselves with the battlefield. It divided into dozens of small teams and planned to continue to break through the encirclement to the north.
After only three days of fighting, all the soldiers except those carrying the teleportation scrolls were defeated by the Oberic Empire.
Even though the sky was filled with primary magic insects, with reliable intelligence, they were all destroyed by the Dragon Riders and a mercenary group of more than 600 intermediate magic sorcerers.
Duke Nilamo of the Eastern Empire of Oberik only needs to mobilize fifty high-level magicians to clean up the lone magic insects.
Captain Frostwolf returned to Love Harbor, pretending to be in a state of embarrassment, but his heart was filled with optimism that could not be expressed in words.
At the Admiral's Mansion, half of the warships in Love Port were withdrawn.
"... Tell me, why would the Oberic Empire ambush us in advance?" Captain Frostwolf asked Admiral Enrug puzzledly.
Admiral Enrug of Love Port sighed deeply and stood by the window looking at the warships docked in the port.
"That's a good question. With our sudden attack, it's impossible for us to be discovered. Even if we were discovered, they wouldn't be able to defend themselves in time. So I suspect that there are people with the All-Seeing Eye in the Black Hourglass Organization or Love Harbor."
"And you suffered such a defeat, losing more than 60,000 men. I suspect that someone from the Almighty Eye was mixed in with the army you led."
When the news of the defeat reached the cabinet of the Coreroman Empire, they unanimously concluded that there was a traitor in Love Port.
Tolivia ordered a thorough investigation and sent a cat-like demi-human from the Magic Group who was a high-level magician to investigate secretly.
Until mid-June, it was not discovered who was the undercover agent.
The Imperial Cabinet knew that the Second Prince of the Oberic Empire would hold his wedding in late June. Tolivia commissioned Li Baiwei to mobilize a group of 300 mid-level magicians to attack the northeast of Oberic according to the plan of the first sneak attack.
Tolivia talks to Li Baiwei at the Magic Group headquarters: "It doesn't matter if the tactics are old, it's just that the enemy can't accept them. We have always been defeated on the front battlefield. The army of the Coriloman Empire is a bunch of rubbish. They didn't train in the early years. The magic fog and black cloud rarely appear in our empire..."
"How far have the subordinates you arranged progressed?"
Li Baiwei was unable to speak, and after struggling for a long time, he slowly said, "The situation in the Oberic East Empire has been very stable. The enemy's army has three knight regiments, two dragon cavalry regiments, and a coalition force of 100,000. The towns they occupy are all heavily guarded, and our people can only stay in the suburbs."
"We need a small wave of monsters to distract them so we can advance to Avilato."
"We did not inform any members of the Black Hourglass Organization about our operation this time, especially Love Harbor. Our personnel took a secret detour."
"The Black Hourglass Captain takes charge of the battle on the eastern front every week..."
"If this operation is exposed again, then the only traitor we need to catch is in the Magic Group, but this is impossible!"
"If you join the Magic Group, you have to sign the Absolute Contract Scroll. Such an act is tantamount to self-destruction. However, during that period, no one died unexpectedly, so..."
"The traitor can only be in Love Harbor, most likely in the Black Hourglass Organization."
Time goes back to the night of Prince Avilato II’s wedding.
In the palace hall, when the king was dining in the banquet hall, a palace guard hurried to the door of the banquet hall.
He was stopped by the Paladin Captain who was on high alert.
The Paladin leader scolded in a deep voice: "The king and his ministers are having a banquet. What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry like a hot dog? If other guests see you, it will have a great impact on our court!"
"… Sorry, Lord Paladin, this is an emergency…" The palace guard took out a high-level message scroll and continued, "A large number of unknown intermediate magicians appeared in the east of Avilato City. Their attack caused the death of 500 people. The city guards are fighting with them…"
"The Almighty Eye has not found out who it was, but it is very likely that the attack was organized by the Magic Group. The attackers are well-trained, and the city guards have already returned to defend Palace Hill."
"The explosions caused by the attack and the fireworks in the city did not make the court feel threatened..."
Upon hearing the news, the Chief Paladin took a deep breath, unable to believe that an attack had occurred right under the king's nose at this moment.
When the Paladin Commander was about to go back to report, a strange, oppressive atmosphere enveloped the sky above Palace Hill.
The Paladin leader immediately drew his greatsword and shouted to the corridor: "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"
In an instant, twenty-eight court swordsmen and sixteen court magicians rushed into the banquet hall from the aisle!
The third prince Padukan sensed the danger of the intermediate magician lurking above him, and his face was confused for a few seconds...
boom!
The windows of the banquet hall were blown to pieces.
More than forty intermediate-level second-level cube warriors in black and masks entered the banquet hall and killed the ministers and distinguished guests who were nearby with a single sword.
A cold white blade of light spun, the tip of the blade heading straight for the king's forehead.
Boom!
The third prince threw a quick uppercut, knocking the flying knife controlled by gold element magic off target.
Six court swordsmen guarded the king.
The seventh prince and the fourth princess were also protected by many palace guards.
Several exploding magic stones were thrown towards the ceiling.
A court magician cast wind magic, creating a strong whirlwind that blew the debris in the banquet hall and the exploding magic stones thrown in the air out of the window.
The banquet hall was in chaos, with only a few magic swordsmen fighting against the assassins, creating a one-on-three situation.
The Paladin raised his sword and slashed, quickly killing four assassins, and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Use the teleportation scroll!"
As he spoke, a dozen more palace swordsmen came and quickly entered the banquet hall.
These dozen or so palace swordsmen were as fast as the wind and stopped the assassin from continuing the killing.
The third prince, Padukan, drew the sword of a palace guard and joined the counterattack.
After the king, the fourth princess and the seventh prince were safely evacuated, the remaining twenty-seven assassins activated their magic cloaks and quickly withdrew from Palace Hill.
