Chapter 699 - Operation Behead 1 (2/2)

In the Song Empire, General Zegal Hui, who had been promoted to the High General post, had sent Eorim and Central troops.

They were all excellent in martial arts and all reached the master stage.

Yemaek was nothing less when compared to the Song Empire.

Eulji Hwang, the son of Eulji Dok-mun, brought his men and the members of the Black Demon Horse unit.

“Our Song Empire decided to send in 30,000 troops along with Eorim as the main unit.”

“We, the Yemaek also planned and decided to bring in 10,000 troops, mainly of the cavalry including the Black Demon Horse unit.”

It wasn’t a lot.

And as the Rhodesia continent war centered around the Gigants rather than cavalry, the allies of the Southern Continent wouldn’t be able to stand in the front line.

However, if they were all at the Absolute powerholder level, they would be of great help in assisting allies or disturbing the enemies.

“Thank you. Please let the Emperor and the King know that their help will never be forgotten.”

“Ho ho ho, considering the help that Your Majesty has done for my brother and the Song Empire, this is nothing.”

“As a part of the alliance, this is the least we can do.”

There were two people who were watching this happen from a distance, the conversation between the princesses and Luke.

Erwin and Zegal Soha.

“Huh?! Trying to act cute and innocent, I can see their tricks from here!”

“I know. Even though we worked so hard for all those years, we only managed to get a small place in His Majesty’s mind, it isn’t reasonable to see those tailed foxes bringing in troops and get his support.”

Among the Yemaek proverbs, there was the one saying which went like this—’Don’t bother the person who hands you the rice cakes and drink the kimchi soup right away’.

And in the eyes of the two, the princesses were exactly like that.

“By the way, these days, Princess Reina, well, Her Holiness seems to be slowing down.”

At Erwin’s words, Zegal Soha answered with a shrug.

“She seems to be busy preparing for the war.”

Whenever she had time, Reina would always use the long-distance teleport gates to visit the Symphonia Palace and enjoy secret meetings with Luke.

However, in recent times she hasn’t come over that often.

“Yes, the Black Tower and the Katarina magic tower are also pretty busy.”

Erwin, the Court mage.

Zegal Soha, the Court Tactician.

They were also helping, but the Black Tower and the Katarina Magic tower were currently putting all their efforts on upgrading the Gigants for the war in the north and producing new Gigants.

The existing ones were being equipped with the artificial muscle, new magic circles, and a new production of Gigants especially for the Blood Hawk Knights were being done.

So they were on work night and day, and there were many wizards who haven’t been able to go to their homes for more than months.

Nevertheless, the shortcomings were entrusted to the small and medium-sized Magic towers within the Kingdom and they received the manpower from them.

It wasn’t just the Magic Towers that were busy in the Kingdom.

Each of the Knights squad, including the central army, were all training in preparation for the war, the army would say that the day for war isn’t far away and that they were performing battle simulations.

“When this battle will be done, will there be a chance for us to be embraced by Your Majesty?”

When Zegal Soha suddenly asked with concern on her face, Erwin comforted her.

“I don’t think that it will be hard until Arsene or the Veritas Magic tower enters the scene.”

“After that?”

“I don’t know. At that time, Her Holiness has said that she would withdraw from her position as the Pope and return to His Majesty’s side…”

During the founding ceremony, Reina had spoken to the two of them.

She let them stay by Luke’s side and gave them permission to win Luke’s heart if possible.

So they tried when she wasn’t there, but taking Luke’s heart wasn’t that easy.

“If Princess Reina is kind, she won’t throw us away once she comes back. However, I don’t think that he is going to stop getting competitors.”

The Rakan family was the most wanted blood lineage.

Knowing it well, even Reina and Luke would want descendants.

Therefore, it might not be just the Song Empire and Yemaek, but a lot more other Kingdoms and nobles would want that lineage in their family.

“We will have to work very hard.”

“Yes, let’s try appealing our hearts to His Majesty.”

Until the last year, the two women would spew venom at each other, but now they held hands at their collective will.
