After a night of rest, the huge coalition of nobles, led by Grand Duchess Veronica, set out on the road to Hilde Fortress.
The Moonlight Mushroom Family and a small number of other nobles had already gone to the Hilde Fortress yesterday to carry out vigilance and exploration work, waiting for the Grand Duke to lead the main force to arrive at the fortress for a meeting.
Hild Fortress is located in the westernmost part of the principality, like a shining pearl inlaid on the border.
This ancient and sturdy fortress bears the vicissitudes of history and the traces of time. It has witnessed the last two fierce pioneering wars and is a precious fortress that survived the brutal war.
Its original intention was to provide a reliable and safe resting place for adventurers who ventured deep into the Moi Forest.
However, as the number of adventurers increased, Hilde Fortress gradually became an economic center. Many merchants came here to purchase some specialties of the Moy Forest and Warcraft materials, which also brought a lot of tax revenue to the Golden Rose Family.
However, with the passage of time and the influx of adventurers, the number of magical beasts in the outskirts of the Moi Forest is gradually decreasing.
However, the scarcity of Warcraft will also eliminate the threat of Warcraft besieging the city.
Now the only threat to the Principality in the Moi Forest is the tin dragon. If it wants, it can easily attack almost all places in the western part of the Principality.
After all, Long Fei runs much faster than a horse.
But it is obvious that if such a thing really happens, the next time it will not be Grand Duke Veronica and the golden dragon Vivian who come to encircle it, but the dragon knight team of the Emerald Kingdom.
As the overlord of the entire southern part of the continent, the Emerald Kingdom has nearly twenty dragons, which ensures the Emerald Kingdom's position as the overlord of the southern part of the continent.
However, the number of dragon riders in the kingdom is relatively small, with only eight. The remaining dozen or so dragons are raised in the Dragon Garden in the Emerald Valley of the capital.
In theory, most of the credit for Grand Duchess Veronica's successful establishment of a country should be attributed to her status as an emerald royal.
Otherwise, if just one dragon knight wanted to establish a country on the border of the kingdom, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of the Emerald Kingdom?
However, according to Krober's inference, Grand Duke Veronica should have the idea of proving her own strength to the kingdom, otherwise she would not choose to deal with the tin dragon alone after encountering it.
Under normal circumstances, two or more dragon knights form a team to fight.
It's not that they can't defeat the dragon, but they want to prevent the wild dragon from escaping and causing greater casualties. At the same time, there is also a sense of prudence in it.
After all, dragon knights are too valuable, and their importance is almost one in a million. For tasks like capturing or killing wild dragons, the Emerald Kingdom uses two dragon knights or one dragon knight and a dragon to carry out the task.
The execution success rate is nearly 100%.
——
The march was long and boring, and as far as the eye could see, there was only endless land.
The soldiers marched forward silently with heavy steps, their figures looking particularly lonely in the sunlight.
The dense woods on both sides of the road are like a green ocean, but they cannot bring a trace of vitality to the dull atmosphere.
Krober was following the Grand Duke closely, his nerves were stretched to the limit, and he dared not relax at all.
He always remained highly vigilant, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, scanning all movements around him, not missing any corner where the enemy might be hiding.
He held the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, as if ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
There was no way. The other soldiers could be more relaxed, but he was under the Grand Duke's nose and could not show any sign of slackness, otherwise it would give the Grand Duke a bad impression.
After all, leaders like subordinates who are serious and hardworking.
As the team slowly moved forward, information came from the scout team ahead, saying that they had seen the outline of the Hilde Fortress and it was expected that they would reach their destination in a short while.
Soon, everyone arrived at the gate of Hilde Fortress.
The main body of the Hilde Fortress is built of huge bluestones. The walls are dozens of meters high and are covered with watchtowers and artillery positions.
The fortress's gate is made of solid iron and wood, and in front of the gate is a bottomless moat.
Inside the fortress are bustling streets and well-arranged houses.
Soldiers patrolled the city walls, wearing heavy armor with various insignias. They were obviously elite soldiers under the command of various nobles. They were armed with sharp weapons and remained vigilant at all times.
Standing on the city wall and looking beyond the border, you can see a mysterious forest, which is the Moi Forest.
This is the edge of the Golden Duchy and the first line of defense against external threats.
The soldiers on the city wall had already discovered the traces of this large army. After verifying their identities, they hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome this main force into the fortress.
And at this moment, the war truly began.
