Chapter 921 - 476: The True King and the Pseudo King
All mid-to-high-ranking officers in the military district of the southern hills had heard Ivita’s voice. Some were skeptical, some had already begun to believe, and in any case, the morale of the entire district’s troops had significantly diminished.
This allowed Ivita’s forces, when passing through these fortifications, to almost only face the Dragon Flame within each of them.
In the following two days, the pace of the march greatly increased.
During these two days, Mostos, the military commander of the district, took a group of officers and troops to the mountain location that Ivita had proactively provided, to meet with Ivita and confirm that Ivita had rescued almost all the nobles’ wives and families from within the Royal Capital. This caused the entire southern hills military district, the largest fortress group defense line within the Alsace Kingdom, to almost completely abandon any resistance.
When Mostos led Ivita to the most important castle of the district, the Southern Fort, and let Ivita shed a drop of her blood into the most important furnace of the southern hills district, the Female Dragonfire, all the Dragon Flame within the various castles throughout the district fell under Ivita’s control.
Ivita, who already had a very high right of inheritance, faced almost no resistance from the Fire Dragon Law.
This meant that the military district of the southern hills had completely fallen into Ivita’s hands.
This was the first time in nearly a hundred years that the southern hill military district of Alsace had been breached.
After seizing control of this part of the district, Ivita immediately ordered Mostos to open up the various fortresses, allowing her troops to march directly towards the Alsace Royal Capital, and at the same time, she commanded him to rearrange the two remaining legions within the district to guard against the Lower Burgundian forces that were already stirring at the border.
