The Knight's Journey to the Empire

September 4878, 7 in the Knight Continent calendar.

The army of the Kingdom of Essex was dispatched urgently again and quickly occupied the most important garrison camp in the eastern section of the defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg - the No. 3 garrison camp guarded by the army of the Duke of McLennan's family.

The Count Manide family army originally stationed in Garrison Camp No. 2, upon receiving the news of the fall of Garrison Camp No. 3, did not hesitate and directly chose to give up resistance and abandon Garrison Camp No. 2.

So when the vanguard troops sent by the Kingdom of Essex were ready to investigate the situation in Garrison Camp No. 2, the Garrison Camp No. 2 was already deserted, with no trace of any Midburg Kingdom army.

Because Viscount Jemski had already led his troops to retreat to Garrison Camp No. 1, which was guarded by the troops of the Marquis Barbatos family.

So the Kingdom of Essex took advantage of the situation to capture the No. 2 garrison camp and stationed troops in it.

At this point, 30 kilometers, or three-quarters of the length, of the eastern section of the defense line in the south of the Kingdom of Midburg had been lost.

After occupying this defensive line, the Kingdom of Essex could then move to the north bank of the Winston River without any hindrance, continuously sending reinforcements, and at the same time command the army to march straight into the heartland of the Kingdom of Midburg.

The defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg is now useless to the Kingdom of Essex!

September 4878, 7 in the Knight Continent calendar.

County Garnisey, Gull Castle, Countess Curtis's study.

Under the escort of Knight Alexovitch, Soran rode at full speed all the way from the city of Ganise to Seagull Castle.

Then, without any stopping, he went straight to Countess Katis's study.

Because Countess Katis had just sent him an urgent message, saying that she had something extremely important to discuss with him.

So Soran did not neglect anything and asked directly as soon as he entered the door: "Helen, you called me here, what's the urgent matter?"

Ever since the "window paper" between Soran and Countess Katis was broken, the relationship between the two has warmed up.

Therefore, after several days, the relationship between the two began to become closer.

Therefore, in private, the way two people address each other has generally changed and become more intimate.

Soran began to call Countess Katis by her real name - Helen; Countess Katis also called Soran by her real name, no longer adding the suffix of her title.

"I just received an urgent battle report from the front line. The defense line in the south of the kingdom has fallen!" Countess Katis said in a calm tone.

Although she was a little shocked when she first received the news, she quickly calmed down.

After all, this should be considered as something that everyone expected!

No?

Moreover, not to mention that Countess Katis is a hereditary noble with a strong sense of independence. Just based on her own attitude, she has no good feelings towards the royal court and royal family of the Kingdom of Midburg.

It was not so easy for her to get over the incident of being kicked when she was down!

"When did this news come out? Is it reliable?" Soran asked with a frown.

Although he was also not optimistic about the defense of the Kingdom of Midburg, he believed that it would inevitably be unable to escape the fate of being destroyed.

But when he suddenly heard that this had come true, he still felt something indescribable in his heart.

After all, he has lived in this country for nearly twenty years!
