Chapter 142: White Dragon II
Vienna, the capital of the Holy Empire, was engrossed in preparations for war. Unexpected news, like a bolt of lightning, disrupted the tense atmosphere.
“What? What did you say? Is it true?”
“Yes, Your Majesty! It’s a report that several castles in the east have already been captured.”
The emperor could not hide his astonishment at the sudden and alarming report. Up until now, his primary focus had been on the battle between the Allies and the Tarkics in the south. He believed all that was required was to quickly gather forces to support the Allies before they were annihilated.
But now, his plans had been derailed by a report that seemed to mock his strategy.
“The Dragona Empire… I can’t believe they’ve done this.”
The emperor had expected the Dragona Empire to either join forces with the Tarkic Empire to attack the Allies or to target the Kingdom of Roland, which had long been a battleground. But their choice was neither Roland nor Hangury. Instead, they aimed directly for the Holy Empire.
‘I was careless. I thought it would be difficult for them to strike this place due to the terrain, but it couldn’t have been more wrong,’ the emperor thought grimly.
According to the reports, the enemy numbered around 20,000. Although it wasn’t a large force, the report indicated that they were all mana users or demons, making their power impossible to underestimate. In some ways, this army was as dangerous as the Tarkic forces.
