After receiving the made maple box, Sylutia put his important luggage in it one by one, including clothes, weapons, armor, prepared medicines, dried herbs, fruits and grains grown by himself, as well as purchased gifts, various trophies he obtained, and two full boxes of gold coins.
Collect these in "Autumn Garden". The maple box is hidden in the bushes under the trees and covered with cover.
After getting ready, Sylutia stood in the pool and said goodbye to everyone. Then as the teleportation circle lit up, her figure was replaced with somewhere in the sky on the Surface Continent, and she arrived in the world on the Cloud Sea in an instant.
The breeze is rippling, the sky is blue, and the air is exceptionally fresh.
After returning to the Surface Continent, Sylutia feels that everything in his field of vision has become much more vivid, and the colors of the world are particularly rich.
Her mood was relaxed, and her senses spread along the grass under her feet. The surrounding natural environment seemed to be vaguely alive, breathing and moving, welcoming her arrival.
Is this the world in the eyes of "Third Level·Emerald Nectar" Aspect Power life?
Even though we are in the same world, Sylutia feels very different, just like the original single color can be divided into five more delicate and different colors.
With just one breath, she can affect the plant environment around herself, causing it to grow, bloom, and bear fruit.
After entering the third level, life has entered another level. Even unconscious actions and thoughts will have an impact on the surrounding environment.
"Hello, may I ask where this is?"
After walking out of the pool, Sylutia asked the Association Wizard on the side.
"This is the depth of the Grani Mountains. To the west is the former Regas, which should be called Anti Kingdom now. To the east is the territory of Merchant City Union."
"There are many dangerous beasts in the mountains. Only we, the Association, have established a stronghold here, and there are no other towns." For mortals, this place is indeed dangerous, but for the members of the Woodland Association, the environment here is actually not bad, and it is far safer than World of Shadows.
"I understand, thank you." After understanding the location, Sylutia rested and visited this small stronghold for a day, and then set off the next day.
"Just keep walking westward along the mountain road, but the road gradually disappears. You need to find the direction by yourself." Before leaving, the stationed personnel at the stronghold introduced her.
"By the way, you are Miss Sylutia, right? There are things left here by "Four Seasons Alliance"."
"Is it for me?" The girl was surprised.
"Yes." The other party took out a wooden box and handed it to Sylutia.
Opening the box, the girl saw a letter inside, as well as Key, and quickly understood who had left it for her.
Lady Falan...
She opened the page of the letter and found the elegant and clear handwriting of Lady Falan on it.
In the letter, Lady Falan told Sylutia that she would leave Scorched Stone City and return to her hometown in the north. It was extremely far away and she would probably not visit Regas Kingdom for several years. If Sylutia was free in the future, he could go there to find her.
In addition, Lady Falan delivered Scorched Stone City's mansion to Sylutia, and told Sylutia in the letter that she had left some books and seeds for her in the cellar storage room of the mansion, which Sylutia would probably need in the future.
After reading the letter, Sylutia felt a little sad and wondered if he would ever see Lady Falan again in the future.
In Scorched Stone City, she really received a lot of care from the other party, who helped her through that period of weakness and ignorance.
Don't worry, teacher, I will find you later and I will thank you properly.
Putting away the letter, Sylutia rode on the white Hyacinth Horse who followed her out of Lantern Town, bid farewell to the people in the stronghold, stepped into the mountains and forests, and headed towards the west.
At the same time, Valley City North.
The elite troops dispatched from the Anti Kingdom, spanning most of Regas, finally arrived. There were about eight thousand of them, stationed under the cliff in the north of the city, also upstream of Valley City, and blocked the road to the north of Valley City.
The gray felt tents were connected together and arranged neatly. Even before they fought against these Anti Kingdom soldiers, the defenders in the city were surprised by the opponent's strict military discipline.
These are not the trash left behind in Regas. They are Anti elites who have temporarily withdrawn from the front line of the war with the cold winter. They are currently led by "Hellhound Baron" and "Viscount Mighty Bear", both of whom are well-known generals in the Anti Kingdom with great reputations.
Now the other side has clearly stated that it does not trust the Anti garrison left behind in Valley City, and has been refusing to enter the city. It has sent a letter asking Fabre, the current leader of Valley City, to leave the city and go to the military tent to accept the new edict from the Anti Kingdom.
Naturally, the current Valley City Lord did not dare to agree to such a request. He was afraid that he would be captured and thrown into prison, where his life and death would be unclear.
However, he currently only has more than 2,000 defenders in his hands, and more than 1,000 of them are newly recruited local civilians. They do not have much fighting power at all. Facing an elite force four times his own, he has no confidence at all to take on the challenge. He has not escaped yet because Prince Jabs is here.
"How many people have we gathered now?" Prince Jabs stood on the high tower of the city wall, looking through the telescope, and asked Everett Knight beside him.
"Now we have gathered about 2,000 combat-effective descendants of Regas, and 3,000 soldiers recruited from more than ten nearby towns."
"Most of the 2000 Regas descendants are former Regas minor nobles, or their ancestors have fought with Knight King. Their strength is much stronger than ordinary people. With a little training, they will be qualified warriors."
"As for the 3,000 newly recruited soldiers, most of them are civilians in the countryside. They are still new recruits and cannot take on important tasks."
There are many problems with new recruits. Sending them hastily into a highly stressful battlefield environment will cause a large number of defeats, which will break up your own formation and cause the overall morale to collapse.
"Including the garrison in the city, there are barely 7,000 people." Prince Jabs feels that victory may be slim.
"How can they withdraw so many people from the front line? Are they really not afraid of the cold winter defeating the front line?" He knew that the situation faced by the Anti Kingdom was not much different from that of Regas at that time.
It's a pity that no one around the prince can answer his questions, and they all know very little about the Anti Kingdom.
On the other side of the city wall, two figures were discussing the matter in a distant military tent.
"Uncle Haines, why do you think they can draw so many elites and come to Regas to suppress us?" The young man on the side did not understand.
Hearing his question, the bearded uncle in leather armor looked at the distance and said with a smile, "You can't understand because you don't understand the thoughts of the Anti royal family."
"Yes, fighting against the cold winter is already the limit, but they still can't give up Regas, or in other words, this is their hope."
"Many of the old nobles of the Anti Kingdom have their family fortunes with Anti. They are afraid of being conquered by the cold winter, so they will naturally resist with all their strength."
"But as for the Anti royal family, they know that if they continue to fight against the cold winter, they will probably have more trouble than they can win. After conquering Regas, a large number of royal family cronies were canonized. They are currently entrenched in various places in Regas. Although their power is not strong enough, there are no other strong local forces in these places, which makes it easy for the Anti royal family to control it."
"If Anti's homeland falls, their royal family can give up their former territory and go directly to Regas's territory to continue their rule. As for the aftermath, it will naturally be resisted by those local nobles with vital interests."
"But, even if they come to Regas and Winter Kingdom keeps chasing them, wouldn't it be over?" The young man next to him still didn't understand.
"We won't keep chasing. Originally, the land of Winter is in the mountains, and supplying it is not easy. Anti is not far from the mainland of Winter, and we can barely support it. If we hit Regas, the supply line will be too long."
"In addition, there are Eagle-Scorpion Khanate. They are watching eagerly from the side. It is impossible to watch this long supply line in front of them and sit idly by and let the winter continue to grow."
"With Eagle-Scorpion standing in the way, Ling Dong can't go south wholeheartedly. He has to deal with it first before he can continue to expand south. However, the strength of Eagle-Scorpion and Anti are not much different. They will not be defeated so easily. They will probably persist for a long time. This period of time is enough for the Anti royal family to control Regas."
"Wow, it's actually so complicated."
"Haha, you will experience a lot in the future, and you will gradually understand it." Haines patted the other party and replied with a smile.
"But..." He changed his words.
"The current Valley City is not strong enough to withstand this army. I wonder what action that Prince Jabs will take."
"Will he persist in resisting to the end, or will he choose to leave everyone behind and run away?"
"Glory of the Southern Border, "Knight King" Regard, who is famous in the mountains, your descendants may not be as brave and determined as you were back then..." Haines sighed.
