"My Lord Marquis, someone claims to be the Frostwolf Marquis of the Golden Duchy. He has come as reinforcements and hopes to meet you."
Hearing the words of the soldier outside the door, Marquis Andrew instantly stood up from his seat.
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at the soldier at the door and said calmly:
"The Golden Duchy? Princess Veronica is here?!"
His expression was serious, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
Marquis Andrew immediately realized what this might mean - they were saved!
"Quick, invite the Frostwolf Marquis in. No, I'd better go out and invite him myself."
There was a hint of urgency in Marquis Andrew's tone, but his steps were steady and firm.
His heartbeat quickened, as if he could hear the joy deep in his heart.
He knew that if Princess Veronica could join the war, the balance of victory would most likely tilt towards them.
As he walked, he paused for a moment, thinking of the undercurrents surging within the kingdom and the heavy losses suffered by his own territory.
His heart was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have followed Princess Veronica south to develop the principality. With his own strength, it would not have been difficult for him to earn the title of Marquis.
As a result, not only did he fail in his political struggles over the past few decades and was exiled to the border area, but he also happened to catch the war between the two countries, and his territory was completely destroyed. Looking back now, it was really stupid!
But there is no point in regretting it now, so it is better to try every possible way to help Princess Veronica.
For example, the information about the old man Edwin Bronze Fury, he believed that this information would definitely satisfy Princess Veronica.
"Marquis Frostwolf, please take a seat."
After both parties sat down, Marquis Frostwolf was a straightforward man and he started asking for information about the war.
Marquis Andrew naturally told Marquis Frostwolf everything he knew.
At present, the important border towns in the northwest of the Emerald Kingdom have not been lost, but most of the population and resources have been lost. Fortunately, the kingdom's support was provided very timely. Just when their soldiers were almost dead, the reinforcements and supplies were all delivered.
The Emerald Kingdom sent the three dukes and eighty percent of the kingdom's soldiers to the northwest border. If the northwest falls, the Emerald Kingdom may be in danger of being destroyed.
The Mountain Copper Kingdom dispatched approximately 60% of its soldiers, and the remaining 30% was used to guard against the Blazing Steel Kingdom.
With 80% against 60%, it seems that the advantage is in my hands.
But in fact, no matter how many lower-level knights there are, they cannot stop the dragon knight's dragon breath in the air.
At the beginning, Lord Duke Edwin wanted to gather soldiers to fight the enemy in the field, hoping to regain the lost territory in one battle, or even reach the territory of the Mountain Copper Kingdom.
The other two lords wanted to dissuade them, but Lord Edwin said in person that he could fight two at once, so the other two dragon knights reluctantly agreed to the plan.
But what they didn't expect was that the dragon knights of the Mountain Copper Kingdom not only had one more number than them, but their overall strength was also far stronger than that of the dragon knights of the Emerald Kingdom.
And Lord Edwin Bronze Fury did fulfill his promise. His "incredibly brave" fighting image of fighting one against two gave great encouragement to Lord Liam Gray Iron and Lord Phoenix Mori Green.
Finally, thanks to Lord Edwin's hard fighting, he was successfully killed by the two enemy dragon knights after the eighth round.
If the dragon knight was not an ordinary flesh and blood creature, but a magical creature, that blow would probably have taken Edwin's life directly.
In the end, the war ended at an extremely tragic cost.
Edwin Bronze Fury was seriously injured, Lord Liam Gray Iron had one arm chopped off, and Lord Phoenix Morphine relied on the powerful vitality provided by the Morphine Emerald Dragon to hold back three enemy dragon knights for ten minutes, at the cost of being seriously injured, buying time for the army to retreat.
However, the dragon knight's vitality was extremely strong, and a cut-off arm was only considered a minor injury. The next day, Sir Liam was able to return to the battlefield to fight.
Thanks to the support of Lord Liam, the Northwest Land was not lost.
Three days later, Sir Phoenix also recovered successfully. By that time, the situation in the northwest region gradually stabilized, and then Sir Edwin announced that he had recovered from his injuries.
During this period, the reinforcements sent by the kingdom had suffered losses of 30%.
Most of them were killed by dragon breath in the dragon knight battle.
The three dragon knights also realized the strength of the enemy and began to frantically ask for help from King Alvis and Princess Veronica.
After listening to the previous battle situation, Marquis Frostwolf had an intuitive understanding of this war.
"Damn that old bastard Edwin! How dare he pass on false information to the Principality!!! Lure the Grand Duke into war!!!"
Marquis Andrew naturally heard the angry words of Marquis Frostwolf.
"What's wrong? What false information?"
Marquis Frostwolf gave Marquis Andrew a cold look.
Anyone who can sit in the position of Marquis is not a fool, so it is better to speak frankly.
"At the time in Saint Gold Castle, Edwin sent many spies to win over the nobles of the principality, claiming that they had fought a draw with four other dragon knights with only three of them, and that victory would be easy if the Grand Duke joined the war."
