Chapter 36 – The War of Arcadia (I)

The Longinus Continent, which had enjoyed several years of peace, suddenly became lively with war during the period of time when Ye Yin Zhu’s group left Konya City for Sacred Heart City. This was actually not because of the Mjolnir beastmen’s surprise attack on the Milan Empire. After all, this was a routine border war and was unlikely to have any effect on the interior regions of the continent.

This sudden war that emerged, however, affected the entire continent. It was a war between two countries, and these two countries even belonged to the same faction.

In the northern regions of the Longinus Continent, the heart of the region had always been the Milan Empire with their allied countries being Ascoli, Florence, and Palermo. In the southern regions, the Blue Dias Empire ruled. Similar to the Milan Empire, the Blue Dias Empire also had three allied countries: the Stormli Kingdom, the Wavast Kingdom, and the Arcadia Kingdom. These two power blocks were separated by Falan, located between the two sides. It was precisely because of Falan’s oppressive influence that the two sides were constrained from entering into a tremendously large clash.

From an overall strength perspective, Milan was the most powerful of the four northern countries, so it was the dominant power there. At the same time, however, there was the enormous threat of the Northern Wasteland. Even if the Milan Empire considered invading the south, they couldn’t send too many troops to do so, as some needed to be diverted to guard against the Northern Wasteland. Along with this, in the past, no country dared to offend Falan, so for a century, peace reigned on the Longinus Continent.

As the Milan Empire began to deal with the Northern Wasteland’s autumnal plundering, disharmony began to emerge within the southern regions of the continent. Within the Blue Dias Empire’s subsidiary kingdoms, war was unexpectedly brewing between the Kingdoms of Wavast and Arcadia.

The instigator of this matter just so happened to be Ye Yin Zhu.

When Ye Yin Zhu left Desolate Jade Sea back then, he had pa.s.sed through Arcadia’s capital, Luna City, and came across several provocative Wavast mages. The outside world had been strange to him, and when he was confronted with an opponent in such a high pressure situation, he used a surprise sound blade attack. He had killed the mages of Wavast Kingdom, and amongst those casualties was an Indigo Rank mage. In hindsight, he could’ve avoided the problem by walking away from it, but he did not. This brought the Kingdom of Arcadia no small amount of trouble.

As one of the most powerful country on the continent, even the Milan Empire treated mages as treasures, not to mention a second-rate kingdom like Wavast. When they suddenly obtained news of the mages’ disappearances, their first reaction was to pressure the Kingdom of Arcadia. The Kingdom of Arcadia naturally hadn’t admit to anything. Or possibly speaking, the Arcadian royal family also had no idea where those Wavast mages had disappeared to.

Both parties entered a momentary deadlock afterward. The Wavast Kingdom relied on the fact that their strength far surpa.s.sed Arcadia and forcefully demanded compensation from the kingdom. It could be a.s.sumed that they had exploited this opportunity to squeeze as much profit as possible from the Kingdom of Arcadia. If it were not for the Blue Dias Empire and Falan, then with Wavast glaring at Arcadia like a tiger watching his prey, perhaps Arcadia would have long been forced to become a part of Wavast.

Against the expectations of the Wavast Kingdom, however, the Kingdom of Arcadia’s royal family’s manner was absolutely unyielding this time, in spite of everything. They fundamental

ly didn’t acknowledge the Wavast mages’ disappearances in Luna City. Both sides immediately entered a stalemate.

The Wavast Kingdom naturally wouldn’t let something like this pa.s.s. The Blue Dias Empire declared their neutrality in this situation, so Wavast sent a hundred thousand armed forces, using this army to pressure the Arcadian border.

Feir City, a strategic city on the border of the Kingdom of Arcadia.

With Arcadia’s power, even if the entire country was flipped over, barely eighty thousand troops could be mustered. As for the quality of the troops, well—since the people of Arcadia had always been lazy in nature, the troops of Arcadia were naturally unable to compare with the Wavast Kingdom. From these eighty thousand troops, not even a Dragon Cavalry Legion could be formed. Their opponent, however, consisted of the elite of the Wavast Kingdom.

Wavast’s show of strength was comprised of two Dragon Cavalry Legions and a twenty-thousand-strong Heavy Cavalry Legion. Within the Wavast Kingdom’s army, there were even a hundred mages of every discipline, the vast majority being Fire mages.

Atop the walls of Feir City, all of the high-ranking military officers of Arcadia had grave expressions as they stared at the huge thirty or so Wavast garrisons stationed outside. Their hearts were heavy. They clearly understood that since the Wavast had dispatched their troops already, it was no longer a simple matter of demanding compensation. If their army was to be defeated, then the aftermath was too horrible to contemplate.
