Although Princess Vina still maintained a princess's elegance, a closer look revealed that she was not in good condition. Her face was pale, and her eyes were slightly red, clearly the result of excessive exhaustion.
With vast stretches of her homeland fallen, the pressure she bore as an important member of the royal family was easy to imagine. Especially when the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire had been breached, the imperial family had reportedly suffered devastating losses. At the time, even His Majesty the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire had personally taken the field and sustained grave injuries.
Heavenly Spirit City was a major city in the central region of the Heaven Dou Empire, not too far from Heaven Dou City. After the capital fell, this place became the Heaven Dou Empire's final line of defense. If the Heavenly Spirit City front were lost as well, then beyond it lay the flat, open Limal Plains.
Princess Vina said to Zhang Lexuan, "Sister Lexuan, my father had intended to personally welcome you, but his injuries have not yet healed, so he sent me instead. Please forgive this discourtesy."
Zhang Lexuan waved her hand. "There's no need for such formalities now. We share a common enemy, and our goals are the same. Besides, the academy has always received resource support from the Heaven Dou Empire, so helping you on the battlefield is only right. But Vina, you should know our plan, shouldn't you?"
As she said this, Zhang Lexuan's gaze toward Vina turned solemn.
Princess Vina nodded gently, but said nothing further.
The plan Zhang Lexuan spoke of was naturally the three Soul Engineer legions forged by Shrek Academy. At present, only core members among the upper echelons of the original three nations of the Douluo Continent knew of it.
