Chapter 368 is here

Now, news about the Chaos Legion being completely destroyed and the Gronians regaining the White Fort have spread throughout the nations. Of course, Prince Boer, who was originally thought to have died long ago, reappeared again and returned to the Eagle City, posing as a stance to compete with his sister for the throne. This news has also spread throughout the human world.

Thanks to the development of magic communication technology, relevant information quickly blew across the entire continent with the wind of magic.

Some people have said that there is friendship between people, but only interests between countries. This sentence has a realistic basis. When Groney was attacked by Chaos believers from the northern wilderness, other countries contributed money to provide assistance (the last invasion of the Chaos Legion was finally repelled with the assistance of various countries. Although this invasion of the countries provided limited assistance, at least it was strongly supported). This is because Groney actually assumed the function of a breakwater to resist the invaders in the north.

Almost no one has too much confidence in this war. It is generally believed that it is good that Groney, who had just experienced civil strife, could repel the invasion of chaos. Even if they successfully repelled the invaders, the domestic politics and economy would have to be a mess. Because the regent's rebellion was really a fatal matter. Some countries or forces were even ready to borrow money for Groney. Tiberius even planned to take this opportunity to bite a piece of meat from her body.

But unexpected things happened (or, in the eyes of those who were far apart and did not really devote their energy to this country, unexpected things happened). The little queen who was no one optimistic about used thunder to quell the rebellion and quickly defeated all the nobles who could fight against the central government across the country. While doing these two amazing things, she sent troops to defeat the invading Chaos Legion, not only wiped out the invaders, but also regained the white fort lost in her father's hands.

The meaning of White Fort is far from being as simple as a border fortress in Groney. In fact, it is the line of defense for the human world to resist the invasion of Chaos forces. Having White Fort is equivalent to blocking the invasion of the Chaos Legion, making it impossible for them to truly threaten the civilized world. Just as everyone knows, White Fort once blocked the Chaos Legion for a hundred years. If it weren't for the infamous betrayal and betrayal, it would have continued to block the Chaos Legion for a hundred years without falling.

What's even more terrifying is that after completing such achievements, the situation in the entire country was better than ever before. Politically, the aristocratic forces capable of threatening the royal power were shattered, and the royal family will establish absolute control over the country from then on. The situation where the king's wallet was controlled by merchants was also broken. Now no one can use borrowing and funds to block the palace's throat, and it is even less likely to make any excessive demands. According to reliable information, she also established an unusual trade partnership with the dwarves, because there is obvious evidence that Groney obtained some new technology and various rare goods from the dwarves.

In short, if everything that happened in the past is surprising, then what is about to happen in the future can be scary.

What will happen if a country is politically stable, financed, strong military power, and a young and promising ruler (in fact, too young, or even not even adult at all)? The answer seems self-evident.

After confirming that Groonee regained White Fort, everyone saw that Groonee was about to rise, and all countries changed their strategies in time. Or so to speak, the nations began to find ways to weaken her.

When two rulers emerged in this country, one king and one queen, the forces in the country remained silent, while other countries, after a short period of silence, supported Prince Boer one after another - no, it should be said that the king.

Of course, they could not join forces to send interference troops, but only used various sincere diplomatic statements to explain their views. But in this way, even if the queen still overwhelms the king in terms of strength, in public opinion, a view that the king is the real heir has begun to form. Human beings are social creatures. Once this ordinary secular view is formed and accepted by most, it means it is difficult to change. In other words, most people now (or are about to) believe that the king is the orthodox heir. The queen is just an accident caused by a misunderstanding.

The arrival of spring is always silent.

At this moment, you can feel the vitality of life being nurtured in the fields. This not only comes from the tender green that is accidentally spit out in the fields, but also from the relocation teams that can be seen everywhere on the road.

The Chaos Legion has been repelled, and White Fort returned to Groney's hands. Although there may be some Chaos Remnants, those residents who are far away from the border can already go home.

Having said that, this is also the first time that the residents of the city of Niustria have been evacuated. In all the battles against chaos in the past, the city was far away from the front line. This is also due to the clever system left by Garunas that year, this evacuation work was done well.

Among these people returning home in groups of three or three, there was a team of very eye-catching. It was a small team of cavalry and a small number of vehicles. Among the cavalry, many people were wearing very beautiful armor and looked very much like the guards and entourage of a great nobleman.

"Is the city of Niustria almost here?" asked the lead man.

"Well, I will be able to see the city wall in half a day." said a man who was obviously a guide. "We will be able to enter the city tonight... Of course, I think it is more appropriate to spend the night in the suburbs."

The leader looked around. In the distance, he could see the angry smoke from the fields. They were the farmers who returned home earlier. These people wisely took advantage of this opportunity to bake a lot of bread and sell it on the roadside. When spring comes completely, a large part of the barren fields will now become farmed fertile fields.

This is the city of Niustria that is restoring its original form—as long as the White Fort is in the hands of this country, it will not be a battlefield.

The civilians who returned home also knew the good news. Although they were a little worried (because it was no secret that there was a king and a queen in this country at the same time), at least they knew that the most dangerous barbarians, the Chaos believers, could not threaten the city of Niustria again.

This eye-catching team exceeded a large cart from the side. This is a typical agricultural cart with all kinds of things on it. A pack horse - a tall, slow-moving, but extremely strong horse - pulling the cart. Sitting in the parking space were two young men who looked like two brothers. The two were discussing fiercely.

When the two sides were approaching, the team found that the two brothers were discussing this battle for royal power.

As everyone can guess, the two brothers can argue so fiercely, of course because they have different opinions. One believes that the king is the legitimate monarch, and the other believes that the queen is the ruler suitable for the country.

The lower the civilians, the less restricted they discussed this issue. The two brothers had a fierce debate and a loud voice, so they all heard it clearly with the people in the squad they were temporarily with. However, the debate eventually involved the connection with themselves from the legitimacy. At this time, the two brothers had reached a consensus conclusion: in terms of their ability to rule the country, Her Majesty the Queen was obviously more than one step ahead. Because it was obvious that the King was captured by the Chaos Legion, and Her Majesty the Queen not only quelled the rebellion in the country, but also defeated the Chaos Legion and recaptured the White Fort.

Those who are proficient in history actually know that that time was not the king's incompetence - it should be said that it is not the crime of war. The Chaos Legion prepared enough time for this cunning military operation. In addition, the traitors who betrayed the White Fort were not appointed by the king (also the prince at that time). Instead, they had long been lurking and waiting for the opportunity.

But for ordinary people, they don't have the time to understand the details of the failure. They just saw a result - in the hands of the king, the border fortress was captured by the enemy. In the hands of the queen, the lost castle was taken back.

"Wait a minute, you!" a cavalryman in the team shouted at the two brothers in the car. "What are you talking nonsense!"

"Sir... we just... say whatever..." The two brothers looked at the speaker's armor and couldn't help but look timid.

The leader in the team stretched out a hand to stop his subordinates. "They were right." The leader said calmly. After saying this, he urged his mount to leave quickly. The other members of the team did not stop, but followed him to speed up and left the poor horse-drawn farm car far behind.

The two brothers were stunned for a long time, not knowing what had happened.

The leader was obviously in a bad mood because in the next time, he rode his horse quickly with an venting attitude. When he finally stopped and let the poor horse that had already begun to foam, the walls of the city of Niustria were already in sight. At this time, a high flag was flying above the walls.

"What is that flag...?" The leader of the team pointed at the flag at the city. At this time, it was not the white eagle flag owned by the Groney royal family, but a relatively unfamiliar flag. The flag was painted with a red dragon. Although the pattern of the dragon was simple, it made people feel a bit stern and bloody.

"That is... the heraldic emblem of Count Ashurufat." Someone replied. "I have seen it in the city of Eagle Falcon. It is said that the emblem given to him by the Queen when Count Ashurufat was named a knight. Because Eusrufat was not a noble family, his emblem was decided in this way."

Perhaps it has won a great victory, so this blood dragon flag is particularly proud to fly in the wind.

"I seem to have seen something similar somewhere..." someone said softly. "This emblem... looks familiar."

"It looks familiar? But it should have been granted by the Queen on a whim... Because at that time, Earl Ashurufat was just a small guard... But this pattern doesn't seem to be designed temporarily. Maybe the Queen just simply imitated a certain herald in her memory. You know, this kind of thing is not rare. Some new nobles could not think of something better, so they simply imitated some of the heralds from other people's emblems."

"That's true."

"Are we going to enter the city?" asked a subordinate.

"Let's stop here tonight, set up a tent in the wild." said the leading man. "But we should first find a house where the owner has not returned."

After giving this order, the team began to search everywhere. As mentioned earlier, the return home had just begun, so in a small village on the outskirts of the city, the team found what they needed - several ownerless farmhouses. At dusk, everything was ready. The car that was lagging behind was also guided to the edge of the residence.

Several men in black cloaks walked out of the car. They were obviously old men because they were slow to move, and the people next to them carefully helped them get out of the car. When the second man got out of the car, a gust of wind blew off his hood, revealing the face of Groney's court chief, Scadra.
