The station at the foot of Dark Mist Mountain is under construction in full swing.

After guiding Xilu Tia, Reginson, who led the team, led the rest of the team and continued to move forward with supplies. They will arrive at the most dangerous front line of the Dark Mist Mountains to supply those stations.

After this group of people left, there were only about 60 people left in the new camp. During this period, no matter what occupation the students were in, they all participated in the construction of the camp. Some of them helped carry stones, some assisted in laying bricks, and some were responsible for preparing food, investigating the surrounding environment, etc.

Sylutia was standing by the temporary pool, closing her eyes and concentrating. A faint halo of moonlight appeared on her body, and then a figure outlined with light silver thread appeared behind her.

This hazy figure is almost the same as the silver-haired girl, but she looks more mature than she is now. She lowered her eyes, lightly lifted the water bottle with both hands, and pulled the water in front of her into it, constantly flowing in.

Then the water bottle's light flashed, and the water in it continued Rotation. After about a few minutes, it flowed out again and merged into the clean pool.

In this way, today's water supply was Purification finished. Sylutia breathed a sigh of relief and wiped a few beads of sweat from his forehead.

Even for her, it takes a lot of energy to Purification so much pool water in a short period of time. Generally, the Purification water sources in the Association are third-level Spring Priest. They are professionals responsible for Purification, and their number is rare.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior Tia." Two girls came over, wiped Sylutia's sweat, then put on a white gauze to isolate the corrosion, and helped the girl sit aside to rest.

"Not that weak." Sylutia protested softly, but she was indeed a little tired now.

After resting on the back of the chair for a while, Sylutia regained some energy and stood up.

"Let's go to the camp and see how the construction is progressing."

"Yes." The two of them followed. They were both Knight Attendant from the Holy White Knight Hall. They were now responsible for protecting Sylutia and taking care of her daily life.

When Sylutia opened up in the depths of World of Shadows, Surface Continent also ushered in various disputes and changes.

Regas Kingdom, White Cliff City.

About 100,000 troops surrounded this royal city. There were countless tents in the wilderness. From time to time, the outline of a giant eagle appeared from the clouds in the sky, monitoring the city below.

Inside the royal city, the current Grand Duke of Regas Grace·Buwili is sitting on the throne with a gloomy expression.

He has dark brown hair similar to that of his ancestors. The silver crown on his head is dull and dull. The sapphire inlaid in the center is also a little dull. Only the faint imprint of Fir branches and leaves can be seen.

"Eagle-Scorpion, Anti----" He said these two names through gritted teeth and clenched the armrest with his thick fingers.

Under the throne, generals and nobles stood one after another, with different expressions at this moment. Some looked worried and uneasy, some had their eyes closed and were silent, and some were trembling.

Everyone realized that Regas Kingdom was in danger. This time Anti and Eagle-Scorpion joined forces and had already negotiated how to divide Regas Kingdom, otherwise they would not have such a tacit understanding.

Contrary to what some people expected, when two powerful countries fight, the first to fall is not their side, but the small countries and weak forces surrounding the two powerful countries.

The top leaders of Anti and Eagle-Scorpion are not idiots. Of course they know that each other is their biggest opponent, but they also know very well that if they fight with each other with all their strength, the surrounding small countries will definitely benefit in the end. In this case, why not eat these small countries first, since they can't resist anyway.

So with this kind of thinking and tacit understanding, the top leaders of the two parties joined forces to launch this large-scale expedition. The purpose was to destroy Regas Kingdom, divide it up, and accumulate strength for the future hegemony of the southern countries.

"How much resistance is there in the city now?" After the anger passed, Grace lost his momentum and became a little depressed.

"There are currently three legions on standby, totaling 30,000 people, followed by 50,000 militiamen recruited."

"The most elite Fir Knights" and how many Knight are currently waiting for orders." Grace closed his eyes and leaned on the throne.

"There are still sixty-seven Knight waiting for orders." A general answered with his hand on his shoulder.

"There are only sixty-seven people." Previously, there were 138 official members of Fir Knights. They were all Knight of level three or above. They were also the most solid pillars of this country. We didn't expect that in just a few months, only half of them would be left.

Although some members died in battle, most of them were nobles who asked their Knight to leave Fir Knights and no longer participate in the losing war.

A vassal's vassal is not my vassal.

Although Fir Knights had a large number of people at his peak, there were only about forty Knight who were directly loyal to the royal family, and the rest were Knight who were under the command of various nobles in the country.

In the past, this would not have been a problem. As long as Grand Duke of Regas gave an order, these Knight could be summoned to fight together.

But now many nobles see that Regas Kingdom is gone, and they have their own ideas, and recall the Knight of their own families. There are only 67 people left in White Cliff Royal City, of which 42 are Knight directly under the royal family, and the remaining 25 are Knight under other nobles.

The sixty-seven Knight charged in formation, definitely an unstoppable torrent of steel in this era, but what they had to face was an equally powerful torrent of steel, and only the royal Knight of the Anti Kingdom had There are more than one hundred and thirty people, plus the support of Knight and Eagle-Scorpion Khanate from various noble families, the coalition forces Knight have about three hundred people outside the city, which is several times the number in White Cliff City.

"Your Majesty, why don't we abandon the city----" Before he could finish his words, a general interrupted him.

"Absurd! White Cliff City is the most Sturdiness city in the country, and it has sufficient food reserves. If we leave here, we will be run over and driven away like wild dogs."

These words indeed make sense, and make the hearts of those who were originally moved sink. However, if they continue to persist, they will not see the hope of winning, and sooner or later they will lose if they continue like this----

"How about we just--" a sharp-tongued nobleman suggested in a low voice, waiting to see everyone's reaction.

What he wanted to say was nothing more than to surrender. After all, he couldn't win. If he surrendered directly, he might still be able to save his life. But surrendering was too humiliating, and no one was sure that the other party would really let him go. If he still suffered humiliation and death after surrendering, wouldn't he be laughed at, and the family's reputation would be completely ruined.

No matter which country or region they are in, those who surrender have always been looked down upon.

"Let's discuss it later." Grace waved his hand and asked everyone to leave first.

Seeing that there was still no solution or result discussed today, some ministers and nobles left disappointed, they couldn't wait any longer.

If tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the Anti Kingdom army from outside really comes in, it will be too late for them to surrender or escape by then.

At night after the meeting, Grace went deep underground in the palace. There was a hidden passage here, which was said to lead to the outside of the city.

"Jabs, Musa, you two take people and escape from here." He pointed out the third prince Jabs and the second princess Musa.

Today Grand Duke of Regas has three sons and two daughters, namely the eldest prince Leon, the second prince Sigley, the third prince Jabs, the eldest princess Matia, and the second princess Musa.

Among them, the eldest princess Matisha married a foreign country and was not in the city. The second prince died on the battlefield last month. There are only three children who are still with him today.

"Leon will continue to guard the city with me. You two will take the others and leave first." He gave instructions again.

"Go through the passage, leave White Cliff City, and then go all the way south to Dark Forest. There are Witch living in seclusion there. They recognize your identity and will take you to the Woodland to avoid trouble."

"Even Anti and Eagle-Scorpion cannot interfere with Secret Forest's rules. There is a huge the Alliance organization that is far more powerful than them."

"When you get there, you'd better not come out for ten years and just study and live well there."

"Understood?" Grace's voice was stern, asking them to remember it firmly.

"Yes, Father." The two of them bowed and saluted, looking at the old father with tearful eyes.

After a moment of silence, the old man waved his hand.

"Let's go."

Then he turned and left.

The third prince Jabs and princess Musa no longer stayed. Escorted by a group of attendants and loyal Knight, they stepped into the deep tunnel and disappeared deep underground.
