Chapter 336: The Secret of the Suki Family

Translator: Lonelytree

“Just like what we were worried about a few days ago, Red Mountain invaded the Golden Fertile Field. A mixed army from the south destroyed the fertile fields of the Golden Fertile Field and burned down a large number of houses. They violated the verbal promise of not invading each other. After occupying the main city of the Golden Fertile Field, Barley City, the army split into two. One of them headed northwest.

“The other troop headed north on the spot. In the name of hunting down the remaining troops of the Lord of Barley City, they quickly approached the South Trade Station.

“Their movements are astonishingly fast. Although they haven’t stepped into Rolling Stone Town’s territory yet, according to this trend, Red Mountain’s army could strike at any time! ”

Rheagar explained the military situation at the front line clearly.

Matthew was a little surprised.

“Did they really make a move? How dare they approach the Southern Trade post? Are they not afraid of the Great Wizard Ronan?”

Zeller shook his head.

“Legendary mages usually don’t interfere in the wars between mortals unless the Red Mountain army has done something that is beyond the wrath of the heavens or has hurt their family. Moreover, the South has been spreading the news that Master Ronan is lost in the Astral World. Although many people are sceptical about this news, we can’t guarantee that the new lord of Red Mountain isn’t a hothead.”

Matthew nodded.

What Zeller said made sense. Ronan’s reputation was part of the reason Rolling Stone Town was safe, but they couldn’t place all their hopes on him.

” The Golden Fertile Field has no way to fight back. It’s an agricultural territory that mainly produces food. The largest military organization in the territory is the militia. These militia are usually used to drive away wild boars and wolverines, but they’re not enough to deal with bandits, let alone war.”

Rheagar took an empty coffee cup and sipped it, not noticing that his mouth was still dry.

Perhaps this is the function of the civilization lock that you mentioned before. It protects these small territories from the scourge of war, but it’s different now. I bet that the lock must have disappeared! All of a sudden, the lords were awakened to the awareness of war. They realized that there were such methods of plundering from the outside world, so they no longer restrained themselves.

“As for territories like the Golden Fertile Fields, their masters were used to the benefits brought by the civilization lock and were not on guard against war. They were simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

“Red Mountain was different. The newly appointed small lord was very organized. He had planned it beforehand. The so-called tax reform was just to divert the attention of others. In the past few months, he had been secretly recruiting mercenaries. It was said that on the battlefield of the raid on Barley City, there were even troops from the Underdark!

“They were truly elite mercenaries and well-trained assassins. After hearing the news, Huo Wen, who had gone to Barley City to check on the situation, told me that those Drows were very ruthless. Long before the war began, the entire family of the Lord of Barley City had been wiped out!

“Damn it, these guys don’t care about ethics at all.

“When the concept of war begins to awaken in the hearts of the people, this continent will soon usher in high-frequency small-scale wars. This is a reshuffling of forces, and no one can stop this trend.”

Zeller sat on the table next to him, his hands crossed under his nose, his eyes shining.

“I’ve already sent a team of lord’s guards to station at the Southern Trade

Station. Fortunately, our scouts can still lock onto the general location of the Red Mountain’s main force. Theoretically, they should take some time to digest the spoils of the golden fertile fields, but we can’t guarantee that they won’t suddenly launch a sneak attack. ” The truth before us is that the war has come.”

Matthew took a deep breath.

From the serious attitude of Zeller and Rheagar, he could feel the pressure and nervousness.

War was never a joke.

Once it erupted, no matter what the outcome was, it meant that people would die.

He gently bit his lips.

Rheagar took another sip of his empty coffee, his eyes looking very anxious.

“What do you think, Matthew?”

Matthew muttered, fr(e)enovelkiss

‘ A group of mages from the Seven Saint Alliance will be visiting soon. The location of the visit is near the Scar of the Dead. I originally arranged for them to visit Rolling Stone Town, but now it seems like it has to be cancelled.”

Rheagar’s eyes lit up. “A group of mages? Can they be of any use in this war?”

Matthew shook his head.

“It’s hard to say.”

In the current Aindor Continent, the relationship between the Alliance, mages, and local forces was complicated.

The Alliance was transcendental, and so were the Legendary Mages in the Alliance. They had the power to destroy the world and were existences that mortal forces could not provoke.

However, there were only a few legendary mages, and most mages were not interested in secular power. They would not interfere in a war for no reason unless the war threatened their interests.

For ordinary mages, they could not be so detached. They still had emotions and desires and lacked the power to rule everything. Therefore, it was very normal for them to rely on local forces.

Whether it was the Hundred City Division of the Seven Saint Alliance or becoming the magic consultant of a small territory like Matthew, it was all a way for mages to cooperate with local forces..
