Chapter 2: The Dragon in Troubled Times

Since Alia ascended the throne and was overthrown, the imperial capital of the Dragon Empire has frequently changed hands in the Stia Family Alliance, the Daya Family Alliance and the Five-Clan Alliance.

The three major alliances also saw a sharp decline in military strength due to the war. Under the attack of war, the imperial capital was no longer as prosperous as before.

The imperial capital of the Shenlong Kingdom was originally the capital of commercial. After the war began, the originally prosperous and prosperous business immediately became depressed. The residents of the imperial capital lost their only source of living. The severe shortage of food made the residents of the imperial capital miserable.

Other cities in the Shenlong Empire were also baptized by war. The three alliances attacked each other, all trying to completely defeat the other side.

The army of Marshal Skaya of the Kaile Empire took advantage of the civil war between the major alliances and led an army of 400,000 and quickly occupied more than a dozen cities in the southern part of the Dragon Empire.

Under the tremendous pressure of the 400,000 troops of the Kaile Empire, the three major alliances finally stopped attacking each other.

The five major alliances conducted urgent negotiations and made an appointment to resist foreign enemies together. Under the coordination of the Lens League, the major alliances sat together. Even the Kemi family, who had not participated in the civil war, sent Yingyue to attend the meeting this time.

In the face of a common and powerful enemy, the alliances temporarily abandoned their hostility and sat together. The good relationship between the Lens League and the alliances played an excellent coordinated role in this meeting.

Under strong pressure from the two empires, the five major alliances finally reached a consensus and signed a contract for offensive and defensive alliances. The alliances agreed to stop civil strife and unanimously go against the outside world. If there is no destruction in the outside world, civil strife will not arise.

Between the meetings, the five major alliances established the Kemi family as the leader. The three major alliances each sent 30,000 troops and handed over to the Kemi family to command and resist foreign enemies.

Although each alliance wants to be the leader, they all know that they are not the material. The alliances have no objection to the Kemi family as the leader.

After signing the offensive and defensive alliance, the civil war in the Shenlong Empire finally subsided. The alliances retreated their troops in the imperial capital and prepared to defend the city to resist foreign enemies.

The withdrawal of the major alliances did not bring light to the imperial capital, which had ceased to stop the war. The residents of the imperial capital were still living in dire straits. The severe shortage of various essential foods made it difficult for the residents of the imperial capital to maintain their lives.

Not long after, the Kaimi family suddenly made a shocking move. The army of Marshal Hongdu, who had always restrained the main force of the Guangming Empire's army, suddenly retreated and headed towards Dingkai Mountain.

The army of the Guangming Empire, which was released, took advantage of this opportunity to quickly advance, aiming directly at the Dragon Emperor Capital.

The Empire of Light gathered 700,000 troops and rushed to the imperial capital with great force. Faced with the powerful army of the Empire of Light, the city lords of large and small cities passed by the army opened their doors to surrender.

Marshal Vonseka left heavy troops to guard the important cities where he passed. The main army still quickly rushed towards the imperial capital.

After receiving the news, the army of the Kaile Empire also accelerated its advancement. Because the Kaile Empire's army was close to the imperial capital at this time, and the road along the way was smooth, Marshal Skaya was not worried about being taken advantage of by the Guangming army.

However, two hundred miles away from the imperial capital, the unstoppable Skaya army suffered an unprecedented blow. The army camped at night, and the 10,000 Kemi family light cavalry led by Yingyue launched a night attack.

Overnight, 800 camp tents were burned, killing and injured more than 2,000 people. Fortunately, Skaya's army had magicians, and quickly controlled the fire caused by the enemy's rockets. The wounded soldiers recovered quickly under the treatment of the priests of the army. The enemy's night attack did not cause any major losses to the army.

In the following days, the Kemi family's army launched a crazy harassment battle against the army of the Kaile Empire. Yingyue set up layers of traps and ambushes with her familiarity with the environment and terrain.

The army of the Kaile Empire was struggling for a moment. Along the way, the army often encountered various traps and mechanisms, which slowed down the speed of the army's advance.

Marshal Skaya felt a headache for the enemy's trap. The dispatched scout team could not trigger it even if they could step through the trap. Only when the army could enter the trap area would the trap be triggered.

Although the trap cannot cause too much damage to the army, it slowed down significantly.

When entering the near Shenlong Mountains, the army of the Kaile Empire became even more anxious. The rolling stones and falling trees from time to time made the army frightened. The frequent piles of grass and trees on the road made the army extremely vigilant.

The scouts sent by Marshal Skaya entered the Shenlong Mountains, and they were all meat buns and dogs to beat dogs without returning. However, when Skaya sent the scouts to patrol the mountains, they did not find any information at all.

The huge Shenlong Mountains, not to mention the hidden thousands of people, are difficult to discover even if tens of thousands of people are hidden in the mountains.

The army of the Kaile Empire marched carefully along the way, and did not dare to make any mistakes.

Fortunately, Yingyue did not intend to truly block the army of the Kaile Empire, but just wanted to delay the speed of the army of the Kaile Empire. Otherwise, if the army of the Kaile Empire wanted to pass through the Shenlong Mountains, it would inevitably suffer certain losses.

Compared with the difficult situation of the army of the Kaile Empire, Fonseca's army was advancing like the wind. Wherever the army passed, all the city lords all surrendered in the wind.

Under the iron hoofs of hundreds of thousands of troops, these cities that suffered from war could not stop the pace of the Fonseca army. The wise city lords from all over the country opened the city gates and surrendered.

Feng Seica left tens of thousands of soldiers in the main cities, and before he knew it, the main army had only more than 400,000 left.

At this time, Vonseka's army was still three hundred miles away from the imperial capital, and there were still seventeen cities along the way. Staff Officer Hictick was worried that the army would divide the troops again, which would inevitably lead to the strength of the main army. At that time, if they met the army of the Kaile Empire, the battle would inevitably be very difficult.

The staff officer Hicticul found Marshal Vonseka and made a comment: "His Majesty the King, now the main force of the army is only more than 400,000. At that time, the army of the Kaile Empire will not be able to form an advantage in terms of military strength. If we divide our troops to guard the city again, it may be insufficient at that time."

Marshal Fonseka also realized this and nodded and said, "I also know that if the troops are not divided, the army will be unstable at that time and advance alone. If they are ridden by the enemy, they will enter a city that cannot be attacked and retreat to a place where they cannot be defended, and the army will die and die."

Staff Officer Hictick smiled slightly and said, "What His Majesty the King is thinking is the strategy to attack a strong country. Now the Dragon Empire is a country without a master, and there is no strong army in our rear to compete with the army. So there is no need to worry too much about this. Even if we cannot capture the imperial capital, no one can compete with the army when we return."

Feng Seika suddenly realized and nodded and said, "Yes, what you said is very good. It seems that it is my way of marching, which is too safe. Since that is the case, we will no longer divide the troops and rush to the Shenlong Emperor Capital at full speed."

After marching again, the Fonseca army no longer took over the city and rushed to the imperial capital at full speed.

The Kaile Empire's army finally walked out of the Shenlong Mountains. After leaving the Shenlong Mountains, the Kaile Empire's army finally breathed a sigh of relief. The ambush traps that had been encountered in the mountains in recent days made the Kaile Empire's army and plants all soldiers.

After leaving the Shenlong Mountains, it is a plain with a flat mountain, and the imperial capital is not far away. It takes only one day to reach the fast march.

Marching on the plains of a horse, the tension and depression of the Kaile Empire's army for many days has been well adjusted. The Kaile Empire's army galloped heroically on the plains. The morale of the army is rapidly recovering.

When the army of Kaile Empire saw the imperial capital of the Shenlong Empire, all the soldiers cheered loudly.

Marshal Skaya couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and his eyes flashed with excitement and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the imperial capital of the Dragon Empire is right in front of you. From today on, this ancient empire that has been going through thousands of years will become your spoils!"

The army of the 300,000 Kaile Empire rushed towards the imperial capital with a rainbow of momentum. The excited shouts of soldiers made the entire Shenlong Capital tremble.

At this moment, a large army also appeared in the southwest of the Shenlong Imperial Capital. When the two armies observed each other, they stopped moving forward at the same time.

Vonseka's army also arrived in the imperial capital at this time. Looking at the army of the Kaile Empire, Vonseka quickly adjusted the army.

When Marshal Skaya saw the army of the Light Empire, he felt dark and quickly stopped the army and quickly adjusted the army to an impact.

At this time, the army of both sides tacitly stopped entering the imperial capital. They knew that if they were attacked by the Shenlong Emperor Capital, they would be a catastrophic blow.

Both sides knew this, so the two armies actually formed a formation and looked at each other, and neither of them launched an attack first.

The staff officer Hictick walked to Marshal Vonseka and said in a deep voice: "His Majesty the King, it seems that we can only give up attacking the imperial capital for the time being. I think the army of the Kaile Empire has the same idea. In the current situation, there is only one choice, that is, we and the army of the Kaile Empire will first decide the victory or defeat. The winner enters the imperial capital, and the loser leaves."

Fon Seika nodded and said to Hictic: "What do you think we should do now?"

Hictick smiled and said, "The Kaile Empire is definitely unwilling to fight with our army now, and their number is at a disadvantage. It is better for us to make an appointment for ten formations, and the winner stays and the loser leaves! This will be beneficial to both of us, and I think the Kaile Empire will definitely agree."

Fonseca frowned and asked, "But now our army has the advantage. If we fail, wouldn't we suffer a lot?"

Hictick smiled cunningly and said, "His Majesty the King, we can swear with the Empire of Light, if we fail at that time, hum!"
