Chapter 1,164 Besieged on all sides(2/2)
Of course, this peace is only temporary.
Only five days later, the first Death Continent finally arrived.
As a vibration that was several times more violent than before came, the Death Continent was finally connected to this land.
And it is very unfortunate that this dead continent is connected to the sacred continent.
More than a week later, Narant received news of a request for help.
The specific point where this continent is connected is in the southwest, on the border of the Principality of Lederne.
In just one week, most of this principality was invaded by dark creatures.
Fortunately, all the principalities have already raised their vigilance.
Therefore, the moment they discovered the appearance of dark creatures, ordinary civilians were immediately evacuated.
In addition, every territory within these principalities now has a temple.
So you can rely on this temple guardian to ward off dark creatures for a while.
It also gave ordinary civilians time to evacuate.
In this way, the final casualties were basically the soldiers of the Principality.
"Quick, Raymond, pass the order, the army will set off immediately!"
Nalant has been waiting, just to wait for these enemies to invade the Holy Continent.
The Holy Continent is not like the Io Continent, it doesn't even have a Paladin or a Dragon Knight.
In this case, without Nalant's support.
The Holy Continent will eventually become the back garden of dark creatures.
By then, with so much blood in the Holy Continent, it is unimaginable to what extent the dark creatures can develop.
Following Nalant's order, the Storm Army, which had been resting for more than a year, set out again.
Of course, this time we are facing the dark creatures of the entire Death Continent.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to rely on tens of thousands of people like Nalant to deal with it.
Nalant has issued a call-up order to recruit all Holy Alliance principalities and imperial troops for the expedition.
This is the first time Narant has issued a recruitment order as a 'monarch'.
In the past, he was always a target for recruitment.
After receiving the conscription order, the principalities and empires responded very quickly.
Because Nalant had already issued several war preparation reminders this year.
Finally, after more than half a month of traveling day and night, Nalant's army arrived at the neighboring royal capital in the Principality of Ryder.
Because the Ryder Principality has been directly invaded by dark creatures in just half a month.
The entire country has turned into a paradise for dead creatures.
Originally, the progress of the dark creatures should have been faster, but thanks to the dozens of temples in the principality, they relied on the combat power of the temples to delay the progress for a while.
When Nalant's army arrived outside the royal capital called the Principality of the Rhine, all the large and small principalities and empires that had received conscription had basically arrived.
The densely packed tents stretched to the sky, and there was no poop in sight.
Narant's mobilization this time included at least one million troops.
There could actually be more.
It's just that this is the first stage of the battle.
And in order to guard against several other death continents, they will still be connected to the sacred continent.
Therefore, all principalities and empires still reserve most of their strength to be ready to respond to other dangers at any time.
"Lord Narante is here!"
"Lord Narante is here!"
The moment Nalant's storm flag appeared, there were exclamations one after another outside the capital of the Duke of Rhine.
There is no other reason. These alliance troops who arrived early have heard about the menacing dark creatures.
And Narant is their backbone.
Not long after the army exclaimed, when Nalant was heading towards the capital of the Rhine along the central road of the camp, hundreds of cavalry appeared in front of him, heading towards him.
"I have met Lord Narante!"
"I have met Lord Narante!"
The person who came was none other than the commanders or kings of principalities and kingdoms.
Now their name for Narant has completely changed.
In the past, people would still refer to Narant as Baron Nalant.
But now he has changed his name and it is consistent with the name Nalant is called by other ordinary soldiers.
Because, although Nalant was powerful in the past, the relationship between the two parties was considered equal on the surface.
But now, although Nalant did not specify it clearly, he was actually regarded as the king of everyone.
Not only were they protected by Narant, but they also paid taxes to Narant.
Therefore, the relationship between the two parties is already real.
"Everyone, no need to be polite, let's enter the city first!"
Nalant nodded towards everyone.
Immediately, all the kings and commanders got on their horses again, and then escorted Nalant into the royal capital.
And this Rhine City has already prepared a place for Nalant and his subordinates to stay.
Nalant's subordinates were placed on the Royal Capital Square.
And Narante was invited into the kingdom.
Nalant did not hesitate, washed himself a little, and immediately went to the meeting hall of the Royal Palace.
Rejecting the King of the Rhine's invitation to sit on the throne, Nalant just asked someone to move an armchair and sit on the steps.
Then he started asking about the current situation.
"Lord Nalant, the dark creatures completely occupied the Principality of Ryder a few days ago, and then arrived at the border of our Rhine City."
"After these days of fighting, our Rhine Principality has lost seven major cities. Now the dark creatures are less than three hundred miles away from our Rhine Principality's capital."
"It only takes four to five days' journey for them to attack here!"
The King of the Rhine understood the situation best and responded immediately after hearing the words.
"Have the civilians of the Rhine Principality been evacuated?" Nalant asked.
"Lord Nalant, all civilians, including those in the royal capital, have been evacuated to other principalities further back."
The King of the Rhine answered.
"Well, let's talk about the strength of dark creatures!" Nalant nodded.
"Lord Nalant, let the King of Ryder Principality speak for this!"
"Before, he had been leading the army of Ryder Principality to resist the dark creatures!"
The King of Rhine said, looking at a middle-aged king not far away who had several pieces of cloth bandaged on his body.
"Lord Nalant, the dark creatures this time are not much different from the dark creatures that have appeared in the past."
"However, there are a lot of them, and powerful dark creatures such as the Dark Bone Dragon and the Far-reaching Giant Insect appeared immediately."
"If it weren't for the protection of the temple's patron saint, we probably wouldn't have been able to last that long."
"After confirming that all the subjects have evacuated, we relied on the temple to delay and block the advance of the dark creatures as long as possible."
"In the end, they fought and retreated. After losing 60,000 soldiers, they retreated into the territory of the Rhine Principality."
"In addition, the dark lord of this dead continent has not yet appeared."
