Chapter 166: Borderlands
The lands bordering the Growian Kingdom were a long mountainous range that stretched for kilometres from one side to the other.
The peaks of these mountains were covered in snow, showing how high the mountains were. Scaling the range was a difficult feat for normal people and adventurers.
However, as one of the paths leading to the Growians Kingdom, the Marquis in charge of the region had set up a fort atop one of the smaller mountains.
Below that mountain was a narrow path that led into the Growian Kingdom. While open, it was a straightforward path to defend.
Naturally, there was a fort where the forces of the Growian Kingdom stationed their forces to monitor the forces of the Luntheria Kingdom.
A few kilometres away from the Luntherian fort were a couple of villages and towns, mostly farming lands where the forces of the Marquis acquired their supplies.
All was well and good until the Growian forces attacked.
Unlike the typical army attacks one would expect, a small force was used in this assault. They were fast, powerful and ruthless, completely conquering the fort within three hours.
They displayed strength and abilities that went beyond what most commander-class knights could handle.
The Marquis’s forces had no choice but to retreat or risk being wiped out. It was a dark time for the Marquis’s forces and the surrounding towns and villages.
Why they chose to invade during the demon generals’ invasion was a question only those in the know could answer.
